We're Damned After All, Aren't We?

I was about midday the next day when we finally got to our destination. I drove up to the all but abandoned park that was secluded by hills and farms. It was no coincidence that it was a as secluded as it is. I looked over at Gerard and noticed how peaceful he looked. He had his head leaning against the window and his mouth slightly opened. Every now and then he would move his lips as if he were talking.

That's when I noticed

This kid was hot.

"You're not gay!" A voice in the back of my head said. "Okay, maybe a little gay, but isnt liking him lllegal?" Fuck off he's 23 and were both dead.

I was going to look at him more but he suddenly stirred and opened his eyes. He stretched and said "Where are we?" In a voice that was deep and gentle at the same time. Fuck. I dared to make eye contact with him, and when I did I regretted it. He had this confused look on his face, his eyebrows were pushed together and his mouth was open just a little bit. His eyes were still sleepy and that made him seem innocent and vulnerable.

I quickly looked away and said "Were in New Jersey. Were gonna pay Luci a visit." Gerard giggled at my nickname for Satan and said, "So why couldn't we just do the whole," he snapped his fingers, "thing?" "Whenever someone teleports, it documents who they are, where they go, and where they came from. If someone was able to get ahold of the files, they could have us surrounded in no time."

We both got out of the car and I took the lead, seeing as Gerard had never been here before. I led in on a little path that led into a forest, the sun was still up so it was easy to navigate. We came to a waterfall. I pointed at it, "There's our hole to hell." The next part was scary. There was a ledge about 30 feet up above the lake the waterfall was pouring in. As we approached it, I remembered the night I died, and how I died. I tried to shake off the crippling anxiety but it just wouldn't go away.

Everybody has fears based on how they died, thats why I never let Gerard drive at night. Always while the sun is up.

Gerard and I slowly made our way back across the ledge, me never looking down. When we got there, there was a wall that had all different carvings in it. I looked at it and said "Vārtus Elle, atvērtu in ielaida Mani." The ground shook and the wall split, letting us in. We walked in and were right in the devils throne room. Lucifer looked straight at me and said , with spite in his voice, "What did you do?" I explained to him what had happened with the two people, and the shadow people attacking us. "I'm not sure who out the bounty on Gerard but they have buckets full of monsters and theyre sending them my way." I finished my story. Lucifer thought for a second, then looked at me. "I want to know why they have a bounty on him." I sighed and said "So do I."

Satan was quiet for a long time before speaking. "Since I don't think you can take on as many monsters as are getting thrown at you, I'll give you a temporary body guard. I know just the people, they are demons, but I'm sure you don't care about that. Here's an address you will meet them at tomorrow night. Their names are Josh and Tyler. They're my best demons and I'm sure they'll do a good job." I thanked him and said "And, with your permission, when we find the asshole who put a bounty on Gerard, id like to beat the everliving shit out of him." Lucifer smiled at me and said "Even if I said no, you would still do it."

We walked out of the hell door, and slowly made our way to the ledge. I started walking across when my worst nightmare came true. The ground I had been stepping on, had fallen, and taken me along with it.

When I saw the water getting closer and closer, I panicked, I flailed my arms and when I hit the water I sank down and quickly rose to the surface. when I got to the surface, I took a breath of air and was quickly taken back under. I was kicking and trying to get back to get to the surface. It felt like the water was hitting me from all sides. My vision started to go dark again as I felt two arms wrap around my waist.

When I woke up, I wasn't in the water but on land, with gerard trying to get me to wake up. I sat up and prepared to throw up endless amounts of water, but none came. Gerard was patting my back, and trying to get me to breath normally again. I noticed he was sopping wet also.

He looked at me and said "You fell, when you hit the water you came up once and went back down. You didn't come back up and I got scared and dove in. I'm not sure why you passed out, you didn't even inhale any water." I shook my head, panic attack.

Then I realized something, Gerard saved me. "Wait, you actually dove off a cliff, into open water, for me?" Gerard nodded his head and said "Of course I did."

I didn't like how the situation was going. I didn't like getting all emotions with people. I tried to make the situation much lighter by fake swooning, putting my hand over my eyes and falling back onto Gerard while gasping "My hero!" I heard Gerard giggle as I opened my eyes.

I realized, that in my swooning, I had landed right on his lap. I smiled sheepishly at him and he flicked my nose. I sat up and said, "Come on, we better go find some new clothes." Gerard agreed and we stood up, going to find some dry clothes.
