D Is For Damien (Original Draft) Chapter 10

Chapter 10
[Untitled]


The one who glared at them the fiercest was the hooded high priest, Luther. After one terrifyingly silent moment, he raised his arm to point at them, then hissed, "Get them!"

Esmeralda jumped to her feet and screamed. As the horde of devil worshipers closed in on them, Harvey said, "Hey, all! How about a dance? Some rock 'n' roll? I know you guys like heavy metal. That's cool! I like it too! Can you do the Bart, man [sic]?" And he started to dance.

Several Satanists actually looked interested, but the majority caught on fast. He was covering for Damien, who found the D on an altar and was nabbing it.

"They're after the D!" Luther shouted. "Get them! Don't let them get away this time!"

Derrick, Luther's close ally, was the first to respond. He drew a long, sharp dagger and descended on the group, but Damien suddenly cracked him over the head with the silver D. Derrick dropped to the floor, senseless.

"Uncle, catch!" Damien called, throwing the gold D to Father Damien, who caught it and ran ahead like a football player about to make a touchdown. They managed to find a stairwell which led upstairs, but the door at the end was, of course, locked.

"Ooooohhhh! Break it down, break it down!" Amy shrieked.

Damien suddenly whirled around. "Give me a bobbypin!" he said, and made a quick grab at Amy's hair before she could say anything. Then he turned back around and managed to unlock the door.

"Ha! So much for breaking and entering, hmm?" Damien said as Kat and the others came out. Kat only glowered at him but he took no notice and started out of the room. As soon as he opened the door he screeched.

"What!" Amy howled.

Damien grabbed his brother's shoulder. "Don't you ever scare me like that again!" he said.

"C'monnnn, let's get outta here," Damon urged. "I don't know what happened but I don't think I'd have LIKED it!"

"It was rad!" Harvey exclaimed.
