  right way, I won’t, but I could.” Then it laughed and stared straight at Wright not

  making a sound. The puppet disappeared into the shadows and when Wright tried to

  follow it he hit the back wall. He then went back to the door and started to open it again

  then he heard the voice again, “No, no, no that will not do it doesn’t listen very well

  now does it what to do what to do.” Wright looked around and there was nothing there

  then he heard the voice say “You’ll never find me, I’m everywhere but nowhere, I’m

  here but not.” Then he heard the puppet laugh again, he then heard the door knob turn.

  Wright quickly went to the wall where the door would hide him hoping that whoever

  opened up the door wouldn’t slam it open. The door opened, it was the faceless man, he

  stuck his head in the pantry and looked around for a little then closed the door. Wright

  then heard the voice say “ Look all you want, with no eye you can’t find him, he might

  be here, he might be there, but you’ll never see him.” The faceless man then slammed

  the door shut with Wright sighing in relief knowing that he was safe for a little longer.

  Wright looked up and saw the puppets face, it was staring at him like it was waiting for

  him to do something. Wright then looked around at the ceiling hoping to find a way out

  that was easier than facing the two things outside that were waiting for him. He found

  an attic door, the only problem was that he couldn’t reach it and it was in the middle of

  the ceiling. Wright tried to jump and reach the rope that was hanging but it was too

  short then he thought about climbing the shelves to reach it. He climbed the shelves that

  were closest to the rope then jumped off the shelve and got the rope. When he landed

  he made a loud thump, Wright quickly went up the ladder that came down then closed

  the hatch. It was dark in the attic but it was better than dealing with those two things

  that were down there. Wright found a candle about four feet away from him so he took

  out his lighter and lit it. Suddenly the candle flame turned red, then blue, then green,

  then orange followed by smoke starting to appear, as it rose there were two red eyes

  that rose with the smoke. Suddenly a face appeared, it was a handsome man maybe in

  his late twenties to early thirties. The smoke man stood three feet above Wright and

  stared at him coldly then, Wright started to hear shrieking from the smoke with faces

  beginning to appear, they would come up and scream then would disappear, screaming

  as they vanished.

  The smoke man then spoke to Wright, saying that his name is Chamos, the puppeteer

  demon, then the puppet that was in the pantry with him appeared. This time the

  puppet was naked, it looked like it was overweight with two small horns coming out of

  its head; while at first it was silent as Wright observed it, the puppet began to smirk

  followed my an eerie cackle. There were five strings coming out of the puppet that lead

  to the smoke then disappeared. It then said that its name was Cimeries, followed by

  “Time for the void to come, time for you to be a face and nothing more, time to see the

  end, time to die.” Suddenly some of the smoke went to the side of Cimeries, Wright saw

  nothing but darkness and he did not like it at all, he really didn’t want to be an addition

  to Cimeries’s collection of faces. Cimeries Stared at Wright as Cimeries started to walk

  closer to him. Wright started to step backwards looking for a way out but couldn’t find

  one. The smoke that was Cimeries’s body started to grow larger and surround Wright,

  as he started to back away Cimeries jumped onto Wrights chest holding with a tight

  grip as Wright was trying to get him off. Cimeries began laughing and clenching

  tighter to Wright, almost squeezing the life out of him. The smoke started to surround

  Wright more, soon the smoke was all Wright could see, all he thought was that this was

  not how he wanted to die. Wright continued to struggle but it couldn’t get loose he then

  remembered that he had a lighter in his pocket so he began to reach for it. Wright could

  only touch it with the tips of his fingers so he lifted up his leg a little to see if that would

  help him reach it. Wright finally got the lighter but when he tried to light it, it wouldn’t

  light. Wright kept trying it but it just wouldn’t light, he thought maybe it was out of

  lighter fluid but it couldn’t be, he filled it up before he left his house.

  Wright threw the lighter down then decided to try and get him off but pushing his head

  away from him. The smoke started to close in on Wright, Cimeries was holding on

  tighter but Wright wasn’t going to give up, he couldn’t, he had to stop Tony. Wright

  then fell down on top of Cimeries causing him to let go and break. Wright got up then

  ran through the smoke trying to get out. Wright could feel teeth trying to grab hold of

  him but he did all he could not to slow down, he really didn’t want to get stuck in the

  smoke. As he was running he bumped into something then fell down, when he looked

  up he saw a man with his mouth wide open with sharp teeth all over and long hair that

  reached to his shoulders. The man started to slowly walk towards Wright as Wright

  was crawling backwards trying to get away from him. Wright then stood up and turned

  around to run away from the man but there was another man behind him, when Wright

  looked around, the man was everywhere. After Wright saw the man surrounding him,

  Cimeries then pulled out a curved knife, raising it to eye level while staring straight at

  Wright. Wright then felt a sharp stab in his back, when he looked over his shoulders the

  Cimeries behind him had stabbed him. Wright then started to feel more stabs all over his

  body, only to realize they were stabbing him repeatedly.

  Blood was pouring from Wright but for some reason he wasn’t dying, there was more

  than enough blood that Wright would have died from loss of blood. Wright closed his

  eyes hoping for death because the pain was too much to bear, then he felt a knife cut his

  throat but he was still alive, it seemed as if nothing was going to kill him. From stabbing

  they all started to cut him; they cut the tendons in legs causing him to he fall to the

  ground, but he was still alive. Out of nowhere a small hand the size of a child’s grabbed

  Wight’s hand and pulled him away from the Cimeries and knives. Wright looked down

  at his hand and saw it was a smoky hand, maybe it was one of the souls that Cimeries

  had taken and it didn’t want him to take another one. Wright saw that boy that was

  holding his hand, he was gliding on the ground like he had no feet and couldn’t walk.

  The boy then turned his head to where Wright could see his face, it was the face of his

  son. Wright let go of the boys hand and stood there, amazed to his son again. The boy

  ushered Wright to hurry then from behind the boy Wright could see Cimeries face

  looking at him, waiting for him. Wright then heard someone whisper in his ear “Don’t

  you want to be with your son, I know he wants to be with you.” Wright turned around

  and saw Cimeries standing a foot away from him then Cimeries Stabbed Wright in the

  stomach, causing him to fall to the ground. Wright closed his eyes, when he opened

  them the smoke and Cimeries were gone, he was still in the attic, for the most par
t he

  was in one piece.

  Wright got up from the floor and looked around to find a door so he could get out of

  the attic, he found one at the far end, as he started to walk towards the door he could

  hear squeaking from the floorboards. When Wright approached the door it slowly

  opened by itself, when Wright looked through the door it was pitch black like the void.

  He was hesitant to go through but he would rather take his chances through the door

  than with the two things underneath him. When he stepped through the doorway

  lightning suddenly flashed, revealing stairs leading downward at the end of the long

  hallway. Wright could hear the crackle of thunder and see the orange flashes of lighting

  through the windows, that were for some reason in the attic. As Wright was walking

  towards the stairs the air seemed to get thicker and it became harder for him to breath.

  Wright fell to the ground, when he was about four feet away from the stairs so he

  crawled the rest of the way thus fell down the stairs but now the air wasn’t as thick so

  Wright was able to breathe normally now. When Wright finally stood up, there were

  dead bodies everywhere but it looked as if all the blood had been drained out of them.

  Wright looked at the bodies, some of them had the pentagram with thirteen in the

  middle and others were just there dead. The ones with the pentagram looked as if they

  were branded on their forehead by a cattle prod. Wright heard a door knob turn so he

  went to hide between some of the bodies so he wouldn’t be seen. Wright took a peek at

  who came in, it was the pigman; he picked up four of the bodies, slug them over his

  shoulder, and walked out and shut the door. Wright slowly walked over to the door,

  just in case he would have to hide again but no one came in by the time he reached the

  door. Wright put his right ear to the door to listen to anyone that might be out there but

  after ten minutes of hearing nothing he assumed it was safe to leave the room. He

  opened the door enough to peer through a crack, when he saw no one outside he

  opened it wider and slowly left the room. Wright looked left and could see the door that

  lead to the hallway where the kitchen was so he turned to the right and started to head

  down the hallway until he saw a door that he wasn’t familiar with. When Wright

  stepped into the room there were thirteen portraits, under each of them were names

  and on the top of the frames was the pentagram with thirteen in the middle. Above the

  portraits was a piece of a board that said “Under the banner of fallen grace thirteen ride

  to lead the way to a nation of the fallen.” All the people in the pictures looked like they

  could be generals, around their necks they wore a medallion that was the pentagram

  and thirteen in the middle but each thirteen looked different from the others.

  When Wright looked to the left there was a giant pentagram hanging on the wall and

  above it was a picture of a man that looked like he might be an angel but if he were an

  angel why would he be here. Wright looked above the picture to see the name Lucifer.

  In the bible Lucifer was the most beautiful angel that God created but when Lucifer

  decided that he wanted to be God, God cast him out of heaven to live in hell for all

  eternity. Lucifer was one of the seven generals of God’s army, he lead more than fifty

  thousand angels. When Lucifer fell from the grace of God his followers were all driven

  to hell by the forces that Lucifer himself commanded. Wright looked around the room

  and saw that it was all in devotion to Lucifer and his thirteen generals, he didn’t feel

  right about being in the room ether, like if he stayed there any longer something bad

  was going to happen. Wright left the room and went to the main hall as fast as he could;

  he wanted to get away from that room. He then found himself at the stairs, as he was

  heading up the number 313 popped into his head and he knew that he needed to go to

  that room. When Wright got to the door that lead to the third floor a face appeared, its

  eyes were closed and it looked just like a wooden man’s face. Wright tried to open the

  door but it wouldn’t budge, then it spoke “To enter where no man may you must enter

  where no demon may.” Wright thought about it for a while but he knew that this was

  the only way to the third floor, then he thought maybe there is a fire exit but then why

  wouldn’t demons be able to use it.

  Wright quickly went down the stairs, he stopped suddenly when he thought he heard

  someone coming up. He waited a little while but when he was sure no one was coming

  up he started to head down again, he got to the door on the first floor and slowly

  opened it up. When he looked out into the main hall the room was packed with what he

  could only presume were demons, some had wings full of feathers and some had

  skeleton wings that were only bones. There was an enormous demon in the middle of

  the room, it looked like everyone was trying to get to him just to be around him. Wright

  started to look for a way out that would make it to where he wouldn’t be seen, he could

  only imagine what they would do to him if they caught him. Wright started to walk up

  the stairs, he hoped that he could make it through to the second floor and maybe out

  the fire escape, but all he could do now was hope and pray he would go unnoticed.

  When Wright got up to the second floor door it was already open, he carefully walked

  to the door just in case there might be someone there. He looked through the door, the

  hall was empty, there wasn’t even any sounds being made it was as if all the sound in

  the world had gone mute. Wright slowly walked through the hall hoping not to

  encounter anything, he wanted to give himself enough time to react in case something

  did come out. When Wright finally made it to the fire escape he heard a shriek come

  from down the hall, when he looked it was a bloody woman that started to run at him.

  Wright clumped through the window, when he tried to shut the window it wouldn’t

  shut. Now the bloody woman was almost to the window, Wright quickly went up the

  fire escape, he then looked down at the window in just enough time to see the bloody

  woman go through the wall and jump off the fire escape. Wright got up to the third

  floor, as he looked into the window he saw the bloody woman looking out, he quickly

  ducked to avoid being seen by the woman. Wright looked up at the window to see if

  she was gone but he saw her cold dead eyes staring at him. Wright shuffled to the other

  side of the fire escape, when he looked back at the window she was gone, he waited

  there a little while until his heart beat went back to normal then he went back to the

  window. Wright looked through the window again, this time there was no one there so

  he quietly opened up the window and crawled in.

  Chapter 10

  Hell Reborn

  When Wright got into the hallway he had a very eerie feeling that he could not shake, it

  was as if the bloody woman was hovering over him but when he looked up she wasn’t

  there. Wright slowly walked to room 313 and when he got there, there was writing on

  the door that said “Keep your soul safe.” Wright opened the door to see a chair in the

  middle of the room with a woman with long hair facing the back of the room. Wright

  slowly
walked around to see the woman’s face, when got around her it was the bloody

  woman but this time her eyes were gone and blood was slowly pouring out from her

  eye sockets. She then turned to where Wright was and said in a low harsh cackling

  voice “Keep your soul safe or I’ll take it, I’ll take it and let them have what’s left.” She

  then turned her head back facing the wall again then on the wall the phrase “Keep your

  soul safe” appeared all over the walls. When Wright looked back at the woman she was

  gone, he looked to his left and there she was, an inch away from him. Her face then

  grew dark as her mouth opened to show several teeth and a bloody face, now she had

  raven black eyes as she passed through Wright and disappeared. Wright started to feel

  cold, as if all the heat from his body had left; his chest started to hurt and his eyes

  started to water, when he wiped it away it was blood that was coming from his eyes.

  Wright fell to the floor and was unable to move, he then started to convulse on the floor.

  When Wright stopped convulsing the bloody woman was standing over him and said,

  “I told you to keep your soul safe, now it’s mine and you’ll never get it back.” All

  Wright could do was look up at her and wonder how all this happened, today was

  supposed to be his day off. The warmth finally started to return to Wright’s body but he

  didn’t want to move because the woman was still standing over him. She bent down

  and kissed him on his cheek only to then disappear. Wright looked around to realize he

  was alone in the room again, he wiped his check where the woman had kissed him and

  blood was smeared on his hand from where he wiped. Wright stood back up but

  stumbled a little, he regained his balance and looked around the room, on the wall in

  blood was written, “The tainted soul of one tastes better than the pure soul of a

  thousand.” Wright looked out the window that was in the room and saw a field full of

  burning inverted crosses, on all the crosses he could see people hanging inverted on

  them, some were screaming while some were silent. Wright then saw something

  standing in front of all the crosses with two giant horns coming from its head, it then
