I jumped to the side as fire ripped through the door. I reloaded my pistol.

"Dang fire demons."

I jumped out and shot at it. The apartment complex was on fire. The demon smiled. The bullets went right through it.It hurled a ball of fire at me. I ran at it and slid under it, the fire searing my face. I pulled out my sword and slashed at it.My blade went through it. The demon simply punched me through a wall. I rolled across the floor to extinguish the fire.How do I take this guy down?Crosses,swords,guns,and exorcisms don't work.

Water was the only way. But how was I to find water in a burning apartment building? I wish I had taken a canteen tonight. Then it came to me. What about the fire extinguisher? I scrambled into the hallway as fire engulfed the room.
I smashed open the case and took the fire extinguisher. The demon started going all out. Fire balls smashed through the walls and the floors weakened. I sprinted towards it and aimed. The floor crumbled. I fell through and crashed onto the second floor of the complex.

"Ow!"

The fire demon laughed and ran up the stairwell, fire trailing behind it. I got up and ran for the stairs. I looked up to see at least twelve floors. The demon had a head start too. But I have my belt. I use it for teleportation. I took the disk off the belt and threw it onto the fourth floor. I pressed on the belt's buckle and was taken to where the disc was. I threw the disc up four more floors and teleported to it. The demon was a floor above.

Close enough. I put the disc back into the buckle and sprinted. I jumped over the trails of fire, desperate. This demon has been blowing up a LOT of gas stations lately and, due to our modern lifestyle, people don’t believe in fire demons. So here I am, Evan Marks, the high school student during the day and Demon Hunter by night. No time for introductions just yet. I’ve got to catch a fire demon!

The demon ran through the door leading to the roof, leaving the door burning. I hopped through the burning door and stood before my opponent. The firemen were down below, putting out fires. Had to get him quick. I threw a throwing cross into him and sprinted towards him as he flinched at the knife inside of him.

I then doused him with the extinguisher, covering him. The fire was gone. But the demon still remained. I took out my cross-shaped sword and cut off it’s head. I quickly burned up the corpse with a burning spell. I looked down below me to see how I could get down. So I jumped off and stabbed my sword into the side of the building, screeching down. I jumped off the side of the building and caught the fire truck’s ladder. I hung off the side and put my sword on my back. I crawled down the ladder and jumped down onto the street. Whew.

Now, spell casting is a difficult thing to do. As you read, I burned up a demon with a spell. I am able to use spells by passing into the Spiritual Plain, which is a vast area of infinite nothingness but is full of magical power. I can pass into the Spiritual Plain for a short time to create a spell and bring it back into the world to unleash it. Got it?

“Kid!” I turned to see a fireman.

“No questions today.” I took out a smoke bomb and threw it to the ground. It exploded, blinding him. I put on my glasses to see through the mist and ran out of there. I got into my car and drove back to my house. Well, not my house. My mom’s house. I closed the garage door and walked in.

“EVAN!” yelled my dad.

I dragged myself to where the television was located.

“How did you manage to do this?” he asked.

I stared at the TV.

“Police suggest that the apartment was burned down due to arson. A boy about six feet tall had jumped off the side of the building and miraculously survived. Police are still searching for the arsonist.” said the news reporter.

“The demon did it!” I said.

“But why did you have jump off the building like that?”

“I was trying to avoid the firemen. You notice that I’m carrying crucifix knives,pistols,and a sword?” I replied.

“Well at least jump into the alley.” said my father.

“Do you know how long that would’ve taken to screech all the way down the building?”I asked.

“Jeff! You leave your poor son alone!” yelled my mom.

“Alright, I’m going to put the stuff back into our lair. OK?” I said.

“Fine.” growled my father.

I walked into the the basement and pressed a button inside the piano, revealing the secret passage. I put my gear into the surrounding display cases and cupboards and went back up the stairs. I flicked the switch and the door slid shut. My big sister, Hannah sat on the couch, reading.

“Nice one, moron. Dad’s going to ground you for an eternity.” she mumbled.
“Well, this one was harder than the other one’s.” I said.

“Really? It was harder?” She chuckled.

“Okay, the demon’s before could be exorcised. This one couldn’t.” I replied, annoyed with her immaturity.

“Well, at least it wasn’t a vampire.” replied Hannah.

“True.”

Vampires are ridiculously hard to kill. They have super strength and only die from a stake to the heart. Not to mention they’re super fast. Plus, in one bite, you’re one of them. You see, one bite you’re one of them and if they continue to suck your blood, you’re dead. They’ve also overcome their fear of sunlight. The demons and evil spirits aren’t as easy as they were a while ago. I looked to see it was 10:00. That was very good. That was impossibly good. I usually got home at twelve o’clock or at one. I finished him off pretty fast.

I walked back to our third floor, where my younger brother Drew sat in his beanbag seat, playing Devil May Cry. He usually play Final Fantasy XII or Bayonetta, but I guess he felt like killing demons in a stylish fashion. I killed demons for a job. Drew is eleven so he can’t go hunt yet. Once number twelve rolls around he’s out on the streets with crosses and guns.

“Nice job, Evan.” He complimented.

“Thanks.” I replied.

“But Dante kills demons a lot better.” He snickered.

“Uh, thanks.”

I went and showered the debris and ash out of my black hair then brushed my teeth. I put on some pajamas consisting of the T-shirts you get from participating in a charity run and some pajama pants with elves on them. I quickly threw myself under the blankets and fell fast asleep.
