Chapter Five: Oniez

I dont know how long I screamed for. But I was still screaming when Kevin came running up to find out what was going on, I heard him on the stairs, feet pounding the floor as he ran up the stairs. I however ran around but froze when I saw Adam's limp body. A large creature was kneeling over him, its lips against Adam's forehead, a scarlet liquid dribbeling down to the floor. I scream again.

The creature looks up, it looks almost just like the one I saw on the stairs. Mishapen, burnt skin, bleeding, rotting and terrifying. Just the sight of it made my stomach crawl.

My mouth droped as I watched the creature reach up and grabb its skin, red blood driping from its jaw as it straightened up and looked at me. Then it began to pull, ripping off the burnt skin. I wanted to scream but I couldnt, I heard banging and couldnt understand where it was coming from or why Kevin hadnt come up to see me after he heard the scream, I wanted to check the door but my eyes were stuck on the creature in front of me.

It ripped and pulled its skin off letting it drop to the ground, underneath was sky blue skin, splats of white on the cheek and forehead. But the sight was still mishapen and made me take a step back, tripping over an old umbrella stand.

The thing smirked and stood up straight, brushing bits of dirt from his naked body, it was so twisted though I couldnt tell if it even had any private parts or if it was bare, honestly, I didnt want to know anyway. Then it gave a horrible cackling laughter that made my ears bleed.

"You look a state Lewis" it laughed

I gasped "You... can... talk?" my voice came as a squeak, I barley heard myself but somehow this creature did.

"Yes Lewis, I can talk, you see, Unlike the pitiful human race, we have much more knoledge" it said

I wanted to ask what he was but my throat was too tight, somehow this thing knew what I wanted to ask and answered anyway.

"I am a demon dear Lewis, and my name is Oniez, pleasure to finally meet you" it... no... HE smirked

"..." I opened my mouth when he bent down and picked Adam up

"Goodbye" he nodded and turned, walking to the wall with Adam, I scowl at him but seeing Adam's pale bleeding body gives me strength. I jump up at run and that thing, raising my fist and punching him weakly in the back.

He looked around at me and I snapped at him to put Adam down. That seemed to make his laugh as he shoved me away. I ran at him again, no idea why I was being brave enough to stand against a monster like this for Adam. He laughs and goes to hit me with one of his mangles claws. I duck and punch him in the side again, snapping at him to let Adam go. I hear yelling from the door but ignore it.

"You are so troubling" Oniez rolled its eyes, I see in horror that they are constantly changing colour. One minute they are yellow, then orange, then red, then green, then blue then purple and pink, then brown and silver, then orange again, then white, then pink, constantly changing!

"..." I gawp at him, he turns to leave and I scream again "LET ADAM GO!"

He ignored me. Suddenly I felt something in my hands, like when you feel blood rushing back into them. And this time when I punch him, my hand burst into flames. I scream and expect pain but recieve none. Instead I hear Oniez cry and drop Adam. He spin and gots to hit me but I raise my hand and grab his wrist burning him.

With another roar of pain he swatted me, smacking my jaw and knocking me back into the wall. I opened my eyes just in time to see him vanish into the wall. Adam lay sprawled on the ground where he dropped him. Just then Kevin and Kimmy burst into the room through the door. I cant understand why they put such force on it but then, right now, I cant understand anything any more.

"LEE!" Kimmy screamed

I frown then look down to see my hand is still on fire. It still doesnt hurt but there it is, blazing, my knuckles slightly red. Kevin ran to me and pulled off his jacket, throwing it over my hand, he tightens it around my hand and stops the oxygen, making the flame die out. I stare at my hand and Kevin cups my cheek calling my name.

Kimmy screamed again, I guess she saw Adam. Kevin runs to see if Adam is ok while Kimmy kneels beside me and reaches over. She takes my hand and pulls Kevin's jacket off very slowly. My hand looks fine, normal skin colour, no black bits, the only thing thats changed are my knuckles that are slightly pink.

"What the..." she gasped

"Kimmy! Go down and get a wet towel!" Kevin snapped

Kimmy jumped and ran down the steps. Kevin picked Adam up and carried him down the stairs. I stayed where I was. My body was shaking and cold, even my hand which had been on fire! I felt sick, I didnt understand and my mind was filling with mad questions. How did I do that? What did that thing, that demon, want? Why did he try and take Adam? How did he know me? What was he doing here? How come my skin is fine? WHAT IS GOING ON!?

*****

I dont know how long I sit on my own in the creepy attic, it must have been a while because I heard my stomach begin to growl. Pushing the thought away, I snap at myself 'How can you think of food now!?'. I hate myself for this human nature.

Finally I allow my body to win and crawl towards the stairs. I began to crawl down them, one step at a time, like a baby. I can just about hear Kimmy and Kevin talking quickly. I crawl and crawl, the more I crawl the younger I feel, the more weaker I feel, the worse I feel.

Finally I reached the bottom and push open the door. I heard them all even more clearly now. Kimmy was panicking madly and Kevin was trying to calm her. I could only assume that Adam was alright. I slipped out and down the stairs to the bottom.

"Calm, its ok, its going to be ok" Kevin said

I ignore him, stand, and look for Adam. I need to protect him, I dont know why but I need to look after him, make sure he is ok. I find him in the main room, laying on the matresses that I had lain out for us both. I stare at him for a second.

He was very pale, so pale it scared me. His eyes were closed and he looked almost dead. His head was bandaged and he lay perfectly straight with arms by his side. His dirty blond hair sticking slightly under then bandage. I stared at him for a second before going over and sitting beside him.

I sat with him, stroking his hair, whispering all the things we would do when he woke. Pretending he was just in a deep sleep and that Oniez never came. I told him how we would eat loads of sweats until we felt sick and how we would watch TV well past midnight and other things we would do as well.

Just then Kevin came in, he ran over to me and grabbed my shoulders, shaking me horribly. I stare at him and he yells at me, screaming loudly, so loud what he says doesnt actually enter my system. Then it comes in such a rush I topple backwards.

"...Did you?! Answer me Lewis! Tell me the truth!" Kevin is roaring

"What?" I gasped

"Block the door! Did you block the door!" he roared

"What no!" I cried

"We couldnt get in" He hissed

"I..." shaking badly

"Did you!?"

"No!" I cry out

"You are sure Lee?" he was calming down slightly

"Yes" I sobbed, crying.

Kevin sat beside me and pulled me into a tight hug. I began to howl into his shirt, I tried to explain about Oniez but was crying too hard. Kimmy came in and curled up on the floor. I looked over Kevin's shoulder at her and see her brown hair stuck to her sweaty forehead. She was paler than normal and she had goosbumps going up and down her bare arms, exposed by her long silk nighty. She looked terrified, and I wondered why.

Just then someone knocked on the door. It made me jump against Kevin and Kimmy to squeal. Kevin tightened his grip around me and Adam lay as motionless as ever. Then we heard a voice from the front door.

"Helllllllo! Anyone home!"

"Lucy!" I gasp

"That bitch!" Kevin growled and stood, he went to the door, I sat where I was.

Kimmy and I shared a look as we heard shouting. Kevin was telling her to leave but she was refusing. Then there was banging and even more yelling. I crawled over to Kimmy who pulled me close and we held each other like babies.

Finally there was a final slam and Kevin came back into the main room. He looks angry, but calms down when he sees me and Kimmy cuddled up together. He smiles softly and goes over to us and holds us, telling us everything will be ok and that everything is alright.

I know he was lying, nothing could be the same again. How could it, I saw my best friends blood raining from his forehead. I saw a demon pick him up and begin to take him away from me. I saw my own hand on fire but feel no burn, not even have a slight black patch as I used the fire for my own game. I saw that demon, Oniez, leave through the wall. And just now I saw my brother turn on me, blaming me for blocking the door and allowing my friend to stay hurt.

*****

"Night" Adam smiled weakly, he told me his head hurt but apart from that he really was fine.

"You two sure you will be ok?" Kevin asks, looking at Adam he asks for the hundrenth time since he woke "Sure you dont want to go home?"

Adam had refused to go home, his mother had gone out and wouldnt be home until very late, also his sisters where having a sleep over and the last thing he wanted wa sto be another barbie doll. He said his wond was not bleeding and he felt well enough to stay as long as we didnt jump around a lot.

"I will be fine" he smiled and cuddled closer to me, instantly I wrap my arms tighter around him

Kevin smiles at us "Ok, get some sleep and have fun" he heads up stairs to his own room.

Kimmy went to bed very early, maybe because she felt sick from all the blood and mainly wanted to be on her own. I dont know, either way she left without a word, only a quick hug and kiss on the cheek for me and Kevin before she headed up to bed, she went before Adam had even woken.

He had woken a little before nine o'clock. He'd burst into tears from a horrible dream and, for some reason, I rushed to his side, held him like Kevin and Kimmy did with me and rocked hims lowly calming him down. Kevin gave me this look but I ignored him, what was the point carring about what he thought. I was just so relieved that Adam was going to be ok.

He told us when he woke, that he didnt know what hit him, it just smacked him around the head and he was unconcious. He didnt even understand how he found the room, he just happened to pass when there was a creak, he looked around and saw the door and assumed we knew about it and that the wind blew it open. I wanted to tell him what I saw but was too afraid, it was like I wanted to spare him the truth, but then... who could I tell?

Kevin? No, he took everything about the supernatural I said as a joke. He constatly made me feel silly, he always meant it as a joke but I never told him how it really annoyed me on what he did.

Kimmy? No, she always thought 'sensible' and would insist that my imagination was running away with me. She never believed in anything unless there was cold hard proof.

Mum? No way! She would blow her top, blame dad and Kevin for encaraging me and letting me watch all those horror movies. She would never leave me alone again or let me go out at night OR watch another movie above PG!

Dad? No, he would agree that I imagined it and some how let it slip to mum what I 'thought' I saw which would lead to the horror of telling mum in the first place.

...Who else?

Lucy!

She was constantly telling me something was wrong with this house. She was leaving hints about the house ever since we meet and she even told us not to play hide and seek, OK she didnt all and all tell us not to but she droped the hint! She was the one I had to talk to! I knew it!

"Lee?" Adam's voice disrupted my thoughts

I looked down and saw him staring up at me.

"Is something wrong?" he asked

"No" I smile and hug him "It's ok..."

"...You're like the older brother I never had Lee!" Adam beams

"..." I stared at him but then smiled and rested my head on his. His head on the side of my chest.

That night we stayed together for the whole time, cuddled up on the matress.

We quickly went to the toilet, hopefully so we wouldnt need it again during the night. Honestly I think Adam was just a little shaken from the blood loss while I was down right terrified for Oniez showing up again and attacking me. I felt like he was waiting, watching, getting ready to steal Adam away like he tried to before I stopped him.

That night, even after the horrible torment that happened earlier, had to be one of the most weirdest, funniest nights I had had in a long time! We ate some sweats from the bowls I had ready and nibbled some biscutes. We drank the coke and watched all the movies we could find, well at least all the nice movies, I didnt want to watch any horrors right now, I was trying to get my mind off of demons and monster ghost controlling the houses.

Finally when it was not long after midnight Adam fell asleep. I didnt want to be awake on my own, I was afraid Oniez would jump through the window and attack us but only I would be able to scream because Adam would be asleep. As if it made any difference whether I was awake or not I just felt safer asleep, weird as it seemed.

So I lay down, holding Adam close, I shut my eyes, leaving the TV playing on a comedy film I drifted off to sleep. Only to be awoken by both nightmares and the phone ringing.
