The Devil's Apprentice by Patrick Stewart (polar express read aloud TXT) 📕

I haven't seen you in a while. I called a few times, but I think something might be wrong with your phone. Or you’re ignoring me! You better not be ignoring me, Alex! :) 

I’m still waiting on feedback from you about the uh… the erotica that I sent, ha-ha. :p It would be nice to see you soon. Jamie’s having a party on Friday the thirteenth at his fancy house in Ruskin Avenue. I don’t really like his friends much, to be honest :|. Would be nice to have a friendly face! 

Chrissy xxx

Friday the thirteenth. That was today.

There was something important about that date.

His eyes widened as he remembered.

The spell to free the demon from hell would have to take place on a Friday on the thirteenth, or on a full moon. Jamie was going to release the demon from hell tonight. He’d thrown a party to celebrate. And he’d invited Chrissy along. This was bad.

Chapter 37

Alex stood outside Karen’s door. His sword was in its sheath and fastened to his back. He was under no illusions. If Jamie really was going to free the demon from hell tonight, turning up at his house was going to be bloody.

Karen opened the door with a smile. She was so damned pretty. She wore a black lace trim satin robe that down up to her knees.

“Here to fuck?” Karen asked.

She parted her robe to reveal her perfect breasts and her hairless pussy. Alex swallowed. Fuck. Of course he wanted to fuck her. It didn’t matter how much pussy he’d been getting of late, it was impossible to resist someone as hot as Karen.

“What the fuck, Alex,” she muttered.

“What?” he asked, taken aback by her sudden change in tone.

“You’re not here to fuck. You’ve got your sword with you.”

“Chrissy’s in danger,” Alex said.

“Chrissy?”

“Yeah, Chrissy. We went to school together? She’s dating Jamie?” Alex said. “I’m sure I’ve told you about her.”

Karen shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.

“Jamie’s throwing a party tonight. Tonight! It’s Friday the thirteenth.”

Karen frowned. “You think he’s going to free the demon tonight?”

Alex nodded frantically. “Chrissy’s going to the party. She could be in danger.”

“Maybe she’s the human sacrifice.”

Alex’s eyes widened. “What?”

Karen’s lips twitched. “I’m just kidding.”

“Why… why would you kid about something like that?” Alex muttered. “Why?”

Karen grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him close. Their lips met as her mostly naked body pressed against his. Alex took a deep breath. She smelt so good. She felt so good. She tasted amazing. And when she pulled back, she left him wanting more.

“There, that’s better,” Karen said, smiling. “If you really think Jamie’s going to free the demon tonight, maybe we should go see Satani?”

“Satani doesn’t give a shit,” Alex grumbled.

He told Karen how he’d already gone to see the devil. Satani knew what was going on. She knew that a war was on the horizon, but she didn’t care to stop it. She didn’t care about the disappearing humans. She even told him to stay out of the way.

Karen stared at him silently for a long time before she finally spoke. “It doesn’t make sense. Why would Satani sit back and let any of those demons’ escape? She imprisoned them.”

Alex didn’t know the answer to that. There was a bit of the mystery they hadn’t solved. Something that would make sense of this all. For Alex, it didn’t matter so much right now. The important thing was to save Chrissy, and while at it, if he could stop the demon from being freed, even better. He didn’t care for Satani’s warning to stay away. If he could stop a war that would stop millions, billions of lives from being lost, he would do it.

Karen on the other hand, didn’t seem so sure. “If Satani wants us to stay out of the way, isn’t that what we should do?”

Alex couldn’t be angry at her. There was worry in her blue eyes. Karen wasn’t used to disobeying the devil. He pulled the girl in close and wrapped his arms around her. “This is our purpose, Karen,” he said softly. “We’re here to protect the humans. Chrissy could be in danger. If they free the demon, all of humanity could be in danger. Isn’t that something worth risking our lives for?”

“It’s the devil’s wrath I’m more worried about,” Karen said darkly.

“We only need to worry about that if we survive,” Alex said cheerfully. With no souls remaining in their bodies, if they died, it was lights out. Not even the devil could torment them.

“That’s not uplifting,” Karen frowned. “But your cute,” she kissed him on the lips. “Let me get dressed.”

* * *

When Karen said she was going to get dressed, this was not what Alex was expecting. She returned wearing even less clothing. Her bra and panties were made from silvery chain. They didn’t cover her breasts at all, nor her pink pussy. And that was all she wore.

“You’re kidding, right?”

“What?” Karen asked.

“Don’t get me wrong, you look amazing.” She really did. Part of him wanted to pick her up and carry her back inside the apartment and to the bedroom, or the shower. “But if that’s supposed to be armour, who designed? A fifty-year-old virgin?”

“It’s magical,” Karen said. “The metal that forms the chainmail is from hell. It has special properties that extend beyond it. So while it looks like I’m mostly naked, the chainmail is covering all my vital organs. As for my legs and arms, us Demon Hunters can afford to take a hard hit on those. Chainmail like this keeps us light and protected. It’s the best of both worlds.”

Karen snapped her fingers. “Did you hear any of what I said?”
