The Devil's Curse

"Hey Ava! I think I got something! Come over here for a sec." I yelled.

"Alright, alright. I'm coming. I also got some information on the tattoo." Ava replied.

"Okay, share after. Help me figure this out. What do you think 'Crimson red upon this blade' means?"

"Umm. Crimson red… Blood! It's blood. When you kill people with a knife, blood gets on it!"

"I ain't killing anyone. But it says crimson red upon this blade. Alright, I'm using my blood. It doesn't say I have to kill anybody."

"Fine. You're so boring."

"Ava, I wasn't born in a gang. I am NOT killing anyone."

"Hmph." Ava pouted.

"I pretty sure 'And enter this world of shade' means going to hell or demon world. 'But beware of the dangers there', 'And go in if you dare', and 'A little fee must be paid' is self-explanatory. What does 'A soul of dark must be made' mean?"

"I'm pretty sure it means somebody that killed someone or committed a crime."

"Okay, we got one."

"Huh? Where?"

"You, of course."

"That's mean."

"Ava, you know I'm telling the truth."

"Yeah. Well, I found that the way to stop this curse is to destroy the demon or have them reverse it. Oh, and apparently in the demon world, time freezes."

"Well, that sounds sooo lovely, doesn't it?" I sarcastically replied.

"I know! It would be fun if I can fight a demon." Ava smiled evilly.

"And I was being sarcastic."

"Oh well. But that would be fun!"

"No, it definitely wouldn't."

"Oh well." Ava then glanced at the clock on the wall. "Wow! We've been here for 2 hours!"

"Okay Ava, tomorrow bring 2 guns, a few pack of bullets and a few knives. I'll bring the necessities."

"Why do we need weapons?"

"If demons are real, then we need to defend ourselves."

"Alright."

"Bye, need to go to my part time job."

"Bye."

——The Next Day——

Ava Russell

"Alright. So we need blood on this blade. Okay then." I pricked myself and a few drops of blood dropped onto the blade. I stuck the blade back in. A dark and eerie mist surrounded us and we found ourselves plummeting towards the ground. If it wasn't for Heather's over packed bag breaking our fall, we would have died. I looked around. Oh my god. There's bones everywhere. Cool! I wonder if there's monsters. The ground is really hard. Hopefully there's a lot of monsters that I can kill. Yay! If we fell and didn't have Heather's bag to break our fall, we would have died. I don't see any demons arou- wait… what is that thing?

"Heather! Come over here! Look, I found this liquidy monster!"

"Ava, don't you DARE touch it!"

"Okay, okay."

"Well, we know that there are monsters in here. I wish I brought a book about demons and monsters."

"Heather, you nerd. I brought a book about the curses, demons and monsters."

"Alright! Great job Ava! Okay let's see… this thing is a slime. You can kill it for fun. But when you meet up with demons, run. But I suggest you don't. We need all the weapons we have."

"It's fine. I bought a hundred dozen bullets. I also took a few extra knives and guns. What'd you bring?"

"Ooookay. That's a lot of weapons."

"I also bought that three dozens of grenades and flamethrowers would be useful."

"I just bought two blankets, a tent, 20 bottles of water, 3 weeks worth of food, a book, etc."

"Do you really need that much?"

"Better more than nothing."

"Okay then, let's go. Where do we go?"

"Umm …Let's just wander around."
