I'm shoved back against the brick wall behind the church, letting out a wheezing breath as the impact forces the air from my lungs. "P- please! I'm sure we can figure somethi-" I try before a fist connects with the side of my face, sending me reeling sideways and onto the ground. The man previously holding me up had clearly let go, and I cough violently as one of their feet swings into my stomach.

I curl up, bracing for another kick - yet as it never comes I crack my eyes open, now only catching a glimpse of your feet. I let out a relieved sigh, groaning softly as my battered body protests my movement and sitting up. "Thank you..." I trail off, eyes now wide with fear as I realize what you are. A demon.
