6teen Fan Fiction ❯ 7teen: The Mall Demons ❯ Mykan's last stand ( Chapter 6 )

CHAPTER SIX

 

We all had our jobs to do…

 

Amelie, Jen, Jonesy, Nikki, and I went back to the mall, and cleaned out the jewelry store. Every last of the treasures that the captain had looted was packed in boxes, but we also grabbed enough of the regular jewels to help make up for the one's that were sold.

 

Serena even let us borrow her car so we could get more boxes to fit in fewer trips.

 

While the others stayed at the captain's place, sorting through his collections to determine what to give away, and also to keep the captain awake. As long as he didn't fall asleep, the demons wouldn't come after us.

 

It took several trips up and down the mall, but before long, the whole jewelry store was almost completely cleared out. “Man… I guess this means I've canned again.” Jonesy said. “And I was doing so good here too.”

 

“Never mind, Jonesy.” said Nikki.

 

“Yeah, you can't really enjoy money if your dead anyways.” I added

 

“Good point.”

 

Meanwhile…

 

Wyatt, Serena, Jude, Starr and Caitlin were busy at the captain's place. They loaded up what little bits and pieces they could into Serena's car to take back to the site of the mall the captain showed us on his maps.

 

The work was hard and tiring, but keeping in mind that nobody was allowed to sleep, they kept right on going. Serena's car was very full by the time they were nearly done.

 

There was only room enough for two people in the front seats, and the trunk had to be tied down to keep the boxes from spilling out.

 

Jude grunted as he place the last box in. “Dude… I feel like I've out here forever.” He moaned.

 

Wyatt sipped his coffee. “At least we got plenty of caffeine to keep awake.” he said.

 

The captain came out to give them a map to wear the treasure had to be dumped. Since the outback was no longer there, the treasures would have to be dumped somewhere in the middle of the road.

 

“How will we know if it works?” asked Serena.

 

The captain nearly turned pink. “Oh, trust me… you'll find out.” he said. He turned to head back to the house, but as he was bout to open the door… Caitlin came through the door with more coffee in her hands...

 

…WHAM!! The door banged the captain directly on the head, knocking him out cold. “Whoops! Oh, no!” cried Caitlin.

 

“Captain!” cried Jude. “Oh, no, man… don't go out on us now!”

 

“Ooh… I'm so sorry.” cried Caitlin. “What are we going to do?”

 

“Well, we can't just like leave him.” said Starr. “If he conks out, the demons will get him for real.”

 

Caitlin and Starr bent down the captain, who was struggling and talking in his sleep. “They're coming! They're coming!!” he cried.

 

“Okay, okay…” Wyatt said. “Serena and I, we'll go back, meet Mykan's group and dump this stuff. You guys stay here in case the demons come after him, and try to wake him up.”

 

Seeing as how it was the only plan they had, Wyatt and Serena hopped into the car, and as they drove off. “You keep him awake now!” Serena called, and they were gone.

 

Meanwhile…

 

Wyatt had warned me with a call. “What?! Awe, man. Thanks bro, we'll see you in a bit.” I dashed back to the others warning them that the captain had fallen asleep.

 

“Whoa! We better get moving.” cried Jen. “The demons could be here any minute.”

 

We all began heaving all the boxes into some shopping-carts, and then dashed through the mall. “Hurry, Hurry!” cried Jonesy. We kept going faster and faster, luckily the escalators weren't shut down.

 

Amelie looked around behind her, and she SCREAMED!! The demons were coming for us. “We must `urry!” she cried. We jammed ourselves on the escalators, but then things got worse.

 

“Uh-oh! Look!” cried Jonesy. There demons at the bottom too. “We're trapped… there's no way out!”

 

The demons began to play around with controls, and we were rattled around as we dropped closer and closer towards the bottom. I decided that there was no other way out. “Amelie, take these.” I said as I handed her my shades.

“Mykan!” she cried. “What are you doing?”

 

I clenched my knuckles. “Since there's no way out… I'M GOING TO FIGHT!!!” and I leapt down to the angry monsters.

 

“MYKAN!!!” the others cried.

 

Grabbing one of the brass posts near a display I began bashing and whacking those big ugly brutes but good, clearing the way for the others to get through.

 

“Whoa! Look at him go!” cried Jen.

 

“He's either brave, or really stupid.” added Nikki.

 

The demons weren't very strong in brute strength, but like many dead creatures, they couldn't be beaten by ordinary strength. I couldn't stop them, but at least I could slow them down.

 

Finally with one colossal attack I knocked them all down into a pile. “LET'S GO, GO, GO!!” I cried, and we all dashed away from the angry monsters.

 

…

 

We found Serena and Wyatt waiting for us outside. “Guys! Over here!” Wyatt called.

 

We all met up, and then Serena showed us the map of where we had to set everything. It's all got to go there in the middle of the road.” she said.

 

“The lets get going already!” snapped Nikki.

 

We made it to the middle of the road near the intersection, and began dumping all the boxes into the middle of the street, one at a time. “Here's your stuff back. Hope you like it, FREAKS!!” Jonesy said angrily.

 

There was only one box left. “Hurry up and dump it.” snapped Jen.

 

Wyatt picked the box up, but before her could make it over to the pile, he was tripped up by the demons who popped up all over the place. “WAAH!!”

 

The box slipped form his hand and slid just a little ways from the pile.

 

The demons began to grab all of us, and try to tear us apart. All because we didn't get the last box over to the pile. We screamed and fussed about, luckily Jonesy and I broke free and fought them off a little.

 

“We've got to get the last box on the pile!” I said.

 

“Right, I'm on it.” added Jonesy.

 

He ran towards the box, and left me to fight the demons off. The others broke free too… all except Amelie. “Au secours!! `ELP ME!!” she cried.

 

“AMELIE!!” I cried.

 

(Slow motion)

 

I dashed over towards her, as the demon was getting ready to strike. I made it just in time to SHOVE her out of the Demons path…

 

…but unable to save myself.

 

“SPLEACH!!” Right through my heart!! “GRR-AAA-AAA-AAAHHH!!!”

 

“NOOOOOOON!!!”

 

…and I collapsed

 

(Normal speed)

 

The others gasped in the most horrific gaze ever. “MYKAN!!” cried Jonesy. Anger Raged up inside him. “HERE!! TAKE YOU TREASURES AND GO AWAY!!” he screamed as he tossed the last box on the pile.

 

The demons all turned their attentions to their recovered treasure and began disappearing with it all back into the ground in huge rumbles, and smoke puffs… but what good was it now?!

 

Amelie clutched by cold, bloody body in her arms. “Mykan!” she sobbed. The others all gathered around.

 

“Oh, no!” Jen sobbed.

 

“They… they got him.” Wyatt cried.

 

I shivered in my girlfriends arms as her tears fell onto my skin, struggling to breathe. “Ugh… Uhn… Looks like… we got them!” I cried.

 

“Mykan… you `ave to `old on, Mon-Cher.” Amelie sobbed.

 

I looked up at her, and she was fading away fast. “Sorry, babe.” I cried. “Ugh… looks like… this is the end for me.”

 

“Non.”

 

The others all turned their backs, softly crying to themselves.

 

“Mykan… you cannot go.” Amelie cried. “I cannot live without you. I love you so much!”

 

I barely had enough strength, but I managed to raise my clean, but cold, hand and crease her cheek. “Hey… I… love you too.” I cried with tears in my eyes too. “Amelie…”I paused. “You… were… “The one!” …Uhhh-nnn!!”

 

My eyes snapped shut, my arm fell down onto the ground, and I stopped breathing. Amelie's heart was at that moment, and forever… broken.

 

“NON!”

 

“NON!!!”

 

“NOOOOOOOOON!!!”

 

Her cries of pain echoed all over the city.
