The worthy one. 2

Jake came out of the examination hall, thinking of all the blunders he had done in it. Lark was an old friend of his. They both gave the entrance together. lark was the carefree type of person, he wasn't all that worried about the exam, while Jake drowning in anxiety and fear.

Jake said" hey wana go to the new restraint that opened in the neighborhood." 

" sure why not" Jake replied.

they both went there, and then to the arcade, they had lost track of time. Jake was getting pretty late so, he headed back home. He put on his headphones and played the latest news. 

The reporter said " from the upcoming reports, the series of murders all across the world are still continuing, neither the government nor the police are able to find any clues regarding them. None of the murders were done the same way, many methods were used and some corpses were beyond recognition....."

Jake was still listening but he could fell the gaze of someone following him. He couldn't sense any malicious intent in it. They were heading towards a dark ally ( that was the way home for Jake). He was on guard about the person following him. 

That person started walking right behind him. Jake got even more attentive he didn't stop and kept walking. The person following him was right behind him now." Turn right" the person said. Jake could fell something on his back.

' Is it a gun, perhaps a knife, I cant tell, its not anything sharp that's for sure, so a gun maybe. I need to do as he says. Wong moves can get me killed' Jake thought as he followed the directions the person gave. They both had ended up in an open abandoned ally. There were some empty houses in the area. Shady people mostly use it to store their goods.

' Am I being kidnapped, well they aren't going to get any ransom that's for sure, I could get rid of my loans, no no no.... that's not worth dying over. I need to survive no matter what.' Jake thought. 

The guy who was walking behind him ran past him to the center and yelled," hey, I..I.. brought him here as you asked.... please leave me alone now... I beg of you."

' Wait a sec, why is he.. is he working for someone, no that's not it you idiot, he obviously being forced to do it. so I guess he is distracted.' Jake dashed the way he came from, there was a door to ally, a guy in a furry coat shut it before he had a chance to get out.

' Shit I'm trapped' 

" Did you really think running away would be that easy, don't resist and we will give you an easy death."

"Could you let me go, pretty please, ' wait what the hell did he mean by we.'"

The man in the furry coat named Ulbhag ( IT MEANS BOULDER IN SCOTISH GAELIC) grabbed Jake and tossed him in the center, right next to the guy who brought him there. The guy looked scared. He looked up at the abandoned houses, he could see three other people there, one sitting in the balcony of one house, he was wearing a mask that covered his whole face, Jake could see his red hair though. One was sitting in front of him, but he wasn't human in the slightest, he was more like a gargoyle, another one was directly in front of him, his cloths were covered in mud and dirt, and he had some type of claws attached to his hands.

Jake could tell he was in an unescapable situation. Death wasn't an option for him and neither was giving up. 

' What to do? ok don't freak out, stay calm, you are gona survive this.' The guy who brought him here started talking, he even sounded scared.

" H..h..hey I did what you asked me to do, can I go now, I..I..I haven't done anything please"

The guy with red hair stood up and said," your great grandfathers grandfather once summoned Lucifer to ask a favor, your bloodline owes our master a heavy toll, are you refusing to pay your ancestors debt."

The guy finally gathered some courage and said, " ahh..no, I don't intend to, if he wanted to be repaid he should bug the geezer that croaked, not me."

Jake figured, 'he will not be pleased by that wait did he say Lucifer, am I dreaming, what the heck is happening' 

The red haired guy said, " very well, I Zisha, as the servant of the great lord Lucifer I deem you useless to his cause, and you shall be punished for the crime of not being useful to my master, your punishment will be death"

Jake still wasn't totally convinced wither he was dreaming or was this reality, but the next sight he saw made it clear, IT WAS NOT A DREAM. 

Zisha pointed at the person and he erupted in flames, the scream he heard was one he could not imagine, he was burned alive. in mere moments there was nothing left of him instead of ash.

the gargoyle looking guy said" eheheheheehe, next is you mortal"
