House of the Damned (Emily and DJ :) )

[DJ yellow ;)]

(Only Em and I will rp here kk?)

The large abandoned mansion at the end of the street had quite a interesting story behind it. Basically, it is urban legend that the mansion belonged to a rich and powerful man hundreds of years ago, a man who disrespected the other helpless people of the town, and kept his wealth to himself. It was said that on his birthday, a friend of his brutally murdered him in his basement.

Every since then, rumors had started to develop about the mansion, and how it was apparently haunted. Some say the man's spirit quite literally controls the house and whatever it does, others say the man had a deal with the devil for eternal life, but he could never leave his mansion, ever.

So many stories and myths had popped up about the mansion, but they all end the same way. "If you try to go inside the mansion, you'll never come out."

Sixteen year old Kendra nervously played with her long red braid as she waited for a car to pass by on the dark street. Once it whizzed by, she took one nervous glance back at her friends in the bushes before hurrying across, her black converse smacking on the slick asphalt, wet from the sprinklig rain. She stared at the house before her and froze a second, pulling her black hoodie tightly around her body before walking forward.

Kendra didn't see why she was so afraid. Being the daughter of a science professor had forced her to grow up too soon; she was told Santa was a myth as soon as she could say his name. She ha never believed in fairtales or ghost stories, and this one wouldn't be any different, but for some reason, the hairs on te back of her neck were standing as she walked up the creaky steps. She told herself it was just because of the cold and rain.

She could feel the eyes of five other girls on her back as she grabbed the rusty door handle. They had dared her to go to every room in the house, shine a flashlight through every window; and being the new girl in town who wante to make a few friends, Kendra had agreed. Apparently she was the first.

As she opened the door, she flicked on her flash light, and stepped inside.

[DJ yellow ;)]

Below the mansion, in what appeared to be the depths of hell, a lone figure, about the size of three medium sized homes was laying down on the ground of hell, with small flames all over the place. "It's that time again..." The red haired demon who wore fiery clothing sighed to himself gently.

His name was Drew, who was once a rich and powerful man, who unfortunately died hundreds of years ago. Satan had made him into a powerful demon god, ruler of the part of hell everyone in the town he used to live in would end up going to. Though, to retain this position and form, every year, on the date of his death, he would have to go to the human world and take a single sacrifice. Usually, he would take those who mess with the place of his death: His mansion.

He sensed it, someone had entered his domain. A slight smirk developed on his face as he flicked his fingers. Before he would take away whoever the heck was invading his domain away to the depths of hell, he would like to have some fun with them.

Inside the mansion, the doors suddenly locked themselves, and the windows glued shut. This was Drew's work. He wanted to trap whoever was inside, both for his own amusement, and to easily take them away for the sacrifice.

[emily13]

Kendra had made it only to the first window when the ear shatterig sound of every window slamming shut made her jump and scream, causing her to drop her flashlight. She scrambled in the dark on her knees to follow it as it rolled, the wood floors having warped from years of aging and foundation shifting and eventually slanting the house. She soon grabbed it and cough from all the dust she had stirred up. As she stood, she dusted off her black pants and shone he light around the room, making sure she was alone.

"Maybe this is a fun house," she quietly, "I bet that's it..." and if that was the case, the electricity would still work...she hurried over to a light switch.

[DJ yellow ;)]

Drew could already sense it, the person who had invaded his mansion, was a young, 16 year old female. He felt maybe only a little ashamed of having to end the life of a young girl, who might have a great life ahead of her. But, he had to do what he has to do.

As the light switch was turned on, Drew saw this as another moment to miss with the girl, another flick of his fingers, and the lightbulb shined a incredibly bright shine, making the dark and dusty mansion incredibly bright. The lightbulb then dimmed and flickered, until it suddenly exploded, and sparks went flying all over the mansion.

[emily13]

Kendra cried out again and sheilded her face from the flying glass. This fun house wasn't all that fun. She made her way to the door and nearly slammed into it as she had expected it to open immediately, but as she turned the nob back and forth with frustration, she soon realized she was stuck.

"Seriously, who plays pranks like this?!" she cried out and kicked at the door. It didn't even splinter. She felt a chill of fear run down he spine and quickly went from room to room hunting for ways out. Every window and every door was locked, and she couldn't even shatter a window with her flashlight.

"What the Hell?!" she growled, thinking of the girls who had dared her to come here, and were by no doubt begin this entire joke, and how much she wanted to beat the crap out of all of them. She went back into the kitchen and there spotted a door. She turned the cobweb covered nob and shone her flashlight down the old wooden stairs of the basement. She felt every cell in her body grow tense, but shook off the feeling. She would have passed the dank, dark, room and moved on to find another way to escape, but she could see moonlight coming from a small basement window that was slightly cracked.

She took a step down onto the rotted stairs and shuddered...it felt as though evil itsel was lurking down there...but it was probably just in her head...

With a deep breath, Kendra descended into the threatening darkness.

[DJ yellow ;)]

A gentle chuckle escaped from Drew, he was having so much fun, he could see the girl frantically run from room to room, looking for a way out of the mansion, too bad there wasn't a way out for her.

"Alright now, time to finish this." He chuckled to himself, he flicked his fingers once again, he knew it was time to bring the girl into his own world.

"Heh heh heh, what are you doing in my mansion?" His voice suddenly boomed throughout the mansion, the basement door swiftly shut, and the doorknob fell off. "I deal with pesky little boys and girls like yourself in a very simple way..." The basement's window suddenly glowed a bright red. 

A huge vortex like thing grew on the floor, and without warning, a gigantic hand came out of it, the hand started to inch closer and closer to the girl, he wanted to grab her, and send her into his world, Hell.

[emily13]

Kendra's scream was probably heard by the girls waiting across the street when the thundering voice shook the house above here and sent dust and dirt raining down. She tripped down the rest of the stairs and lost her flashligt.

"I-It's j-just some sp-speakers!" she stuttered, trying to reassure herself as she crawled over to her fallen flashlight. She could feel tears forming in the corners of her eyes; never before had she been so frightened. As a wave of sinister red light washed over her though, she tasted a new level of fear.

Slowly she turned towards the window, the source of the light, and felt another scream get stuck in her throat. A giant hand was creeping towards her, and she scrambled to get away from it. At one point, a finger brushed against her leg, sending a warm jolt through her body.

"No!!" she screamed, as she reached the other wall, and was hopelessly trapped. As she curled up and sobbed, she did the only thing reasonable for some one in her situation...

She fainted.

[DJ yellow ;)]

The hand creeped towards the girl, her body was unconscious, he could feel it. The hand gently grabbed the girl in it's fist, and slowly started to move back towards the vortex. 

Once the hand disappeared into the vortex, the vortex sucked itself up. The lighting in the house returned to normal, the doors and windows opened. The presence of the demon was gone, the evil was gone.

15 or so minutes later, the girl was resting on the fiery floors of hell, with fire surrounding her, and her first sight in the new world would be a giant demon gazing down at her. He awaited for her to awaken.

After waiting several more minutes, he sighed to himself as he saw a halo appear above the girl's head. Already she has spent enough time in hell to develop a halo, indicting she has a very small chance of returning to her own world.

[emily13]

Kendra groaned and rolled over in her sleep. In her mind, she was aware that she was hot, and that she needed to get her hoodie off. As she swam back into conciousness and started peeling off her hoodie, memories of the haunted house started to flood back to her. 'That was an awful dream, but a dream none the less.' she thought as she flung her hoodie to the side, leaving her in only a tank top. 'ugh, why is the heater on?' she groaned and sat up rubbing her eyes and yawning.

When she looked around, she expected to see the cool green walls of her room, but was met by something totally different. Fire surrounded her; it was everywhere! She screeched and tanked her braid up off the floor, and looked to where she had fling her goodie, only to see a pile of flaming ash. Memories of her childhood slammed into her, and she wondered if theses flames would devour her, just as they had her last home and her mother.

However, the flames never crept any closer...

Kendra was suddenly aware of the feeling that someone was watching her. She slowly turned, looking up and up, soon gazing fearfully up at the face of a giant...demon.

"Th-this c-can't....this isn't r-real!" but even as she joked out those words she knew that this was indeed real. She curled up and watched the towering man with wide, terrified eyes, knowing she couldn't run through the surrounding flames.

[DJ yellow ;)]

A terrifying chuckle came from the demon, his laugh Loud enough to shatter ears. "Heh heh heh, so you are awake finally?" He smirked. "Good, very very good. Yu are awake, I guess I should welcome you to your new home."

He smirked evilly. "I am Drew Fortunato, you may have heard of myself before, as the owner of the Old Mansion, hundreds of years ago? The one who was murdered by my dearest friend? I can never forgive him for what he did..." He kneeled down towards her, with a pleasant smirk. "Welcome to the depths of hell. Technically, I have killed you, and you are no longer allowed back in the world, rather, your spirit will belong to me, for the rest of time. "

"Tell me, why did you even invade my domain? Did you want to steal any of the treasures or items with monetary value?  Or was it a stupid check to see if the house was wanted? Because if that was either, I have literally no respect for you, and I'll make your time here terrifying! 

[emily13]

Kiara could barely believe her eyes, which felt like they were drowning in her silent tears. From what she could gather, this man-no, this MONSTER was goin to keep her for his own; preventing her from seeing those she cared about? And for what? She had done nothing wrong, yet he had literally dragged her to Hell!

"I d-did it on a-a dare," she stuttered, "I w-was trying t-to make friends..." she then realized she would never see those girls again, and a wave of raw emotion hit her. They hadn't intended for anything like this to happen! She looked up at te giant coldly; if she was in Hell, that technically meant she was dead, and he couldn't kill her anyway...right?

"If you're c-cruel enough t-to snatch innocent p-people and take them to Hell, maybe you d-deserved to be killed!"

[DJ yellow ;)]

His face became cold and angry, he gazed at her with a angry look. "I have to do this. You see, I was originally another soul trapped in hell when I died, I lost everything, my power, my wealth... I was nothing for a long time, until I met with the devil, and I made a deal with him, granting me demon powers and a incredible size."

"Sadly for you mortals, part of the deal was this.. I have to take one human and bring them down to hell on the date of my death every year, you just happen to be unlucky enough to have this happen to yourself.."

"Friends?" Drew sighed to himself. "You should know, in the world, there is no such thing as 'Friends' everyone who claimed to be my friend only did so to take some of my wealth! That's what they all were wanting from me! None of them truly liked me at all! None!"

[emily13]

The incredible size thing spoke for itself, and the look on the giant demon's face was enough to make her curl up tighter in her little ball. She didn't dare say out loud that for any sane person, a deal that required the sacrifice of others was nuts. She also didn't say she'd had plenty of friends, and none of them had tried to steal from her; though she wasn't very big in the wealth department anyway.

"S-so what are y-you going to d-do to me?" Kendra asked, trying to keep the fear from showing in her eyes. She looked around, and didn't see any of the other souls he had spoken of. She started to let her imagination wonder, and the images of what this demon could do to her were enough to make the fears flow freely again.

[DJ yellow ;)]

He smirked down at her unsettlingly, he shook his head and then said "Well, it's so very sad on what may happen to you, i'd probably shouldn't even tell you about it, a weak little girl like yourself would freak out over what I have planned for you.

He smirked. "Tell me, what is your name? And what kind of life did you live before this day? As a Demon God, I'm supposed to ask these sort of questions."

[emily13]

A demon god... Kendra would've scoffed at the thought an hour ago, or however long ago it had been before she had entered that acursed house. But now, as one sat before her and plotted her eternal torture...she felt like throwing up. She had never considered herself weak, but compared to him it was a reasonable assumption. She decided answering his questions woul be the smartest thing to do.

"K-Kendra...my n-name's Kendra," she stuttered. "As for my life...well..." she sighed, "I-it wasn't the g-greatest. After my m-mom died, my father and I m-moved to this god forsaken town...even before Mom passed away he was a little gruff; he never let me have any fun...b-but once we lost her he's been nothing but cruel..." she realized she was starting to spill her guts to this Drew guy, who probably didn't care about her depressing life. "I still loved him though...he was my dad." she finished off, and looked down at the floor.

[DJ yellow ;)]

Was Drew truly paying attention? Well, not very much, but he did seem to understand that Kendra had a very tough life... He now felt slightly bad for what he had done to her, ending her life prematurely.. But, he had to, or else he would'nt remain a demon god!

"Well, Kendra.." He spoke. "Seems to me, you did have a rough life I'm assuming..." He sighed to himself. "Hmmph... Are you frightened of me? Be perfectly honest, I won't punish you for that."

[emily13]

Kendra looked didn't look up at the demon at first, but slowly nodded. This man was threatening to torture her for the rest of enternity, which was frightening enough, but his size, oh his size was what sent shivers down her spine, because she knew there was no way she could fight against him; she was like a helpless mouse.

"Y-you haven't given me much reason to trust you...b-but plenty to make me a-afraid..." she finally looked up at the demon, wondering if he would keep his promise not to punish her.

(What does Drew loom like? And how big is he?)

[DJ yellow ;)]

(Okay, let me explain in this post:) 

The 60 foot tall Demon God shook his head, he knew it. Everyone was of course, frighted of him. He remembered in the past, people were afraid of him, but not in the way they are now. He remembered, people wanted to be just like him, rich and powerful. Now, no one was jealous of him, just afraid and nothing more.

Drew looked at her, his blue eyes, with a pupil that was a deep dark red looked slightly depressed. "So you are very afraid of me." He shook his head, trying to calm himself. "Kendra, as I told you, you are dead technically, and you can never return to the surface world... But, if you really don't want to be with me, I could send you to the heavens, where at least you'd live peacefully." He scratched his flaming red hair. "It's all your choice."

[emily13]

Under the circumstances, Kendra should have jumped at the chance to get away from this demon, an probably would have if it weren't for the depressed look that had crossed his face just then. If he was even giving her the option to leave, he couldn't be that bad...right?

Slowly, Kendra stood and edged a little closer to Drew, still shaking a bit. "you don't have anyone down here to keep you company, do you?" now that she thought about it, Drew had been the only thing she had seen aside from the fire. She twirled her braid nervously. "I-if I do stay...what would you do with m-me?"

Was she seriously considering stayin in Hell just to keep her giant captor company? Kendra almost slapped herself, but she indeed did feel bad for the demon god...kind of. She had known what it was like to be lonely...an even though this demon had appeared to be nothing but cruel, it was clear he had a few good tendencies...who knew, maybe he even had more. And if that was the case, he didn't really deserve to be left alone for eternity.
