Chapter 3
Paxton screamed and began to run faster she grabbed the handrail to the stairs and jumped over the first flight landing on the carpeted stairs below them. Pain shot up through her leg as she hit the stairs. She tried to keep running but she was limping and couldn’t go very fast she could hear the thing breathing behind her. So she looked around for a weapon of some sort to destroy it. She saw an old timely Knight statue, she saw a metal spear in his hand she ran over and grabbed it and turned back to the half demon. It tied to pounce on her but she had the spear right out in front of her and it pierced the thing’s stomach. It cried out I pain and backed off. “HELP!” Paxton screamed as she slowly backed away from the demon, still clutching the spear In her hands. She began to run this time she didn’t hear the thing following her. In spite of herself she looked back and she didn’t see anything. She breathed a sigh of relief and remembered the scream from earlier. She took off running the pain in her leg receding every second. Eventually she came to the door to the foyer and burst through it. She saw Ashley up against the wall, her eyes closed and her arm bleeding, then she looked towards the door and gasped. Another demon thing, this one bigger than the one she saw earlier was sitting there staring at her not doing anything its fur around its mouth was caked in blood then she saw the man laying beside it. It turned and stalked off. Suddenly Ryan and Kyle burst through the door. “ What happened in here?!” Yelled Kyle who was wide eyed staring at the man laying by the door. Paxton couldn’t care less about the guy so she ran over to ashes. She lifted her arm to examine it. It was
Badly scratched up her white sweater arm was covered in blood from top to bottom. She shook her sister wildly. “Ashes wake up! Come on! Wake up!” She yelled in her sisters ear. Ashes began to moan and shake her head. She opened her eyes slightly and saw Pax leaning over her. Paxton’s normally gentle brown eyes were wide and frantic. Ashes smiled lightly and said “I’ll be fine what’s not gonna be fine is the thing that did this to me. When my arm heals that demon better watch its back.” She said as she tried to lift her scratched up arm. “Well its not broken and it feels fine but we’ve seriously got to stop the bleeding.” Ashes said as she slowly stood up. She fell back to the ground. Paxton kneeled beside her and lifted her up and she put ashes arm around her shoulders. Paxton wasn’t limping anymore and the pain in her leg had gone away. So she led ashes back up to their room and helped her get into her bed. Paxton ran into the bathroom and grabbed a first aid kit. She took out a roll of bandages and went back into the other room ashes was sitting up in a tank top she wore under the sweater. Paxton sat on the edge of the bed and looked at ashes arm. It was a lot of tiny scratches but they were deep so it bled. “oh I forgot the washcloth.” Paxton said as she walked back into the bathroom. Ashes heard the water start running and a cabinet door slam. She looked back at the door Ran was standing there with a glass of water he walked over to her and handed her the glass and sat own on Paxton’s bed. “Ashley I hope you are alright. That arm looked horrible and I would say you could pack your bags and leave the hotel as fast as you can but the snow is to deep and the storm is here. Your already hurt I don’t want you to get frostbit too. Kyle walked into the room next and sat down on the bed beside Ryan. “Ashley are you alright?” Asked Kyle with sympathy in his voice. “Yeah never better I just got mauled by a monster and I’m just perfect.” She said with obvious sarcasm in her voice and eyes. She regretted it as soon as she saw the hurt look he gave her. She heard the bathroom door close and saw Paxton walk out. She sat up as Paxton held the hot washcloth out to her. Ashes grabbed the washcloth from Paxton and began wiping down her arm. The blood came off easily and when it was clean Paxton handed her the dry cloth to dry off. She took it and dried her arm quickly. Paxton began un-wrapping the bandages, and handed ashes one end to hold to her arm. Paxton wrapped her arm up tightly as she could without hurting her. Then she taped it down. “That should stop the blood loss. She walked over to ashes bag and dug underneath the junk to get to her clothes. She grabbed her favorite black sweater with red lace and threw it over to her. Ashes quickly pulled it over her head and smiled. “Paxton before you close my bag can you grab my choker? It should be in one of the small compartments.” Ashley told Paxton then she slid down her bed and looked over at Kyle and Ryan they were talking softly to one another. “Secrets?” Said Ashley smirking. Ryan looked over at her and laughed. Kyle looked away in embarrassment. “No we were just talking about how sorry we were this happened and that we hope that those things go away before it hurts you again.” Ryan said gently to ashes. “ Is this the choker you were talking about?” Said Paxton holding up a Black and Red choker COMPLETELY ruining the moment. Ashes slowly turned her head and glared at her sister. “Yeah that’s the one.” Paxton walked over to her and handed it to her. Ashes hit her over the head with it.
