Carl gasped and froze.
"What's the matter, lad?"
Carl shook his head. "I'm sorry, I can't come with you."
The purple monster looked at Carl curiously. "Why? Was it something I said?"
Carl sighed. "I can't. Sorry, bye." Then before the confused monster knew what was going on, Carl was gone.
The monster sighed. A voice echoed through his mind. Is he coming?
The monster shuddered. No, Lola, he winced, bracing himself for the outburst. He escaped. I failed.
WHAT!!!! Lola screamed with rage inside his mind. I send you on a CRUCIAL mission and you FAIL?!? What kind of mission monster are you? Why did you fail?
The monster flinched. Um..well..I kinda...told him I was going to see Eve Sender. I thought he only knew you by your human name.
Lola's shrieks grew exasperated. YOU FOOL! HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW THAT? WHY WERE YOU STUPID ENOUGH TO MENTION ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!
Before the purple monster could respond, there was a flash of red light, and when the air cleared, he was gone. All that was left was a small, purple puddle lying in the exact spot the monster had been standing a moment ago.

"This day has been hell. I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!"
Carl looked up at the sky
"Mom i need you. I cant do this by myself."
Than a blicking blue light came from above, than he heard a voice. It was a woman speaking.
"Of course you can Carl."
Carl was stunded.
"Mother?"

Next chapter
Carl ran and didnt see the event that just happened but could hear the scream of the monster.
"This day has been hell. I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!"
Carl looked up at the sky
"Mom i need you. I cant do this by myself."
Than a blicking blue light came from above, than he heard a voice. It was a woman speaking.
"Of course you can Carl."
Carl was stunded.
"Mother?"
But my mother's dead, Carl thought, how could I hear her voice? I must be having one of those hallucinations. Carl shook his head.
He took off running after hearing a rustling in the bushes.

"I can't take this anymore. I'm going crazy."
"Carl stop putting yourself down or i will come down there i will give you something to whine about."
Carl was terrified.
"STOP! talking to me. You are not my mother, you are Lola invading my mind."
"Carl, honey shut up. i have to talk to you. You have to believe me i'm your mother."
"if you are really my mother, where is my birth-ma?"
"On your butt."
"I'm listening."

"Carl there are secrets i need to tell you.Secrets i wish you didnt have to know but it is fate that you hear it from me and not someone else."
"What secrets?"
"Lola is coming after you."
"I already knew that!"
"She wants to take something from you."
"Now that I didn't know. Why?"
"She wants to take it, and give it to her child?"
"What? Lola doesn't have a child! And where would she get one suddenly?"
"Think about it, Carl. She has been married to your father for three years now."
"D-d-do you mean...?"
"Yes. Very soon she will have an heir that is half-demon. What she takes from you will go to the baby."
"What is it that she wants to take from me anyways?"
"You have power, Carl, and a lot of it. A lot more than that Eve."
"Does that mean that I can defeat her?"
"Yes."
Carl paused, thinking a moment, and then said, "But what use is that if I don't know how to use the powers?"
"Just look inside yourself, and let yourself believe, and you will be able to do anything."
"Mom?"
"Yes honey?"
"Why didn't you tell me this before? Before you died, I mean."
"I didn't even know myself. And it wasn't time yet anyways. You wouldn't have needed the power then. But now you do."
"Because of Lola?"
"Yes. Because of Lola."
"I have just one more question."
"Yes?"
"What happens if I'm not able to use my power?"
Carl's mother paused, not wanting to answer her son's question.
"C'mon mom, I'm old enough to take it. After all, I'm old enough to fight a demon by myself!"
"Honey, it's just that, well, it's hard for a mother to say this, even if you will be with me forever because of it. If you can't harness your power, Eve will kill you. She is already trying very hard."
Carl gulped. "I thought that might be the case."
"Now it is time for me to go back."
"Wait!"
"What is it?"
"I don't want you to leave!"
"I don't want me to leave either, but I have to. Just know that I love you, and I will always be with you in your heart. Goodbye son, and I hope that I won't see you anytime soon, because then you would be dead."
"I love you too. But I still don't want you to go!"
"I'm sorry. Goodbye."
With that, Carl's mother faded away, leaving him more lonely and isolated than ever.

With that, Carl's mother faded away, leaving him more lonely and isolated than ever.

The sky went dark again.
She was gone.
Carl started to cry
"Would you stop complaining. you make me sick."
"Lola i was wondering when you would show up."
"Well i wanted to make a dramtic enterence."
"Thats sad."
"I can see that you were talking to your mother."
"Ya. s-s-s-so.
"What did she say. i cant read your mind it is to filled."
"she said to go to HELL."
There was silence. Lola was shocked at what Carl had said.

"Why would she say that?" asked Lola, false sweetness returning.
"'Cause you're an evil hag," Carl muttered under his breath.
"What was that?" asked Lola.
"I was just saying that we should return home, to see my father."
"Oh..."
Lola turned and ran home.
If a race is what you want, a race is what you'll get. Carl took off running. If I don't get home before her who knows what'll happen to my father?


"Hi honey," Lola said. Her voice sugary.
Carl ignored her. "Dad." His father looked up. "I have to tell you something."
Lola glared at him as he started speaking.
"Dad," Carl began, "You can't trust Lola. She's a-"
He expected Lola to make fun of him, or sweetly tell his father that he was a liar. But the way she interrupted him was the opposite of what he expected.
"Arrggghhh!" Lola leaped at him, claws reaching for his throat. In full demon form.
Carl darted away from Lola, and stole a glance at his father. He was staring at Lola in complete shock and horror, rooted to the spot.
"Dad, call 911!" Carl screamed.
His father could not move.

His father did not move. Lola paused from attacking Carl and leapt towards his father.
"Dad move!"
His father had no time to move. Before Carl could say another thing Lola was upon him.
"Dad!"
Lola covered up his fathers mouth and turned to face him.
"You really don't understand. Do you?"
Carl stared at his father. "Dad," he whispered.
Lola tilted her head back and laughed. "Foolish boy! Your father cannot help you!"
Carl stepped forward towards Lola, intending to pull her off his father. He was completely unprepared for what happened next.
The second his finger touched Lola, she started shimmering, and then her figure starting disappearing, pigment by pigment, as if she was made of raindrops.
And then she was gone.

His father stared at him. "Okay, what's going on?"
Carl looked over at his father. "I really don't know."

"Carl i am so sorry."
"and dad there is some more."
"that has to be great. What is it?"
"i spoke to mom."
"carl i think we should call the doctor."
"no dad i'm not kidding. i'm not talking to voices claiming to be mom. this is for real."
"ok carl what did she say."
Carl and his father spent an hour talking about Lola, who he told his dad Lola's real name, and talking about carl's mother.
"WOW who knew you had this gift."
"believe me i was just as surprised."
There was a short pause than when his father was about to speak when they heard a bump upstairs.
"Here we go again."
"Dad remember whatever you do dont make her mad. your life is at stake."
"Lola loves me should would never do that."
"Lola no but demon Lola most likely."
"No, I still don't think so."
"Dad, you have to believe me! She will kill you!"
"No, son. She won't"
"Why do you insist on denying the truth?"
"Because it isn't the truth."
"What do you mean, it isn't the truth?"
"If she kills me, she will kill the baby."
Carl stared at his father in disbelief. "What? Are you completely nutters? Men can't have babies!"
"No, I didn't mean it like that. Right now the baby is attacted to me through an invisible link. If the link is broken before the baby is born, it will die."
"How do you know all this?"
"Lola made me a demon, and part of her clan. She initiated me."
The fear gripped Carl like a vice. He turned and ran out into the woods, again. But this time he decided to never come back.

(Okay.)
Carl kept running until he couldn't run anymore. Then he collapsed, leaning against a tree, and fell asleep. In his sleep he dreamed.
Carl kept running until he couldn't run anymore. Then he collapsed, leaning against a tree, and fell asleep. In his sleep he dreamed.

He tried to relive his dream, but every time he shifted it over in his mind he pushed away. Finally, he faced his fear and re-lived the dream in his mind.

"Why me god?. why me?"
Carl looked down at the ground and wished he had a different life, A life where he had a mother that loved him, A life where it didnt involve demons and powers, A life in which he could live life not in fear.
Carl started to cry at the though. He knew this couldnt come true because the world hated him.
"I want to go home." Carl said under his breath.
When he finally stund up he say a figure approuching, he thought it was Lola.
"Havent you torchured me enough?"
"What are you talking about."
Carl stared at the figure carefully, Carl was wrong it wasnt Lola it was a girl.
"What i-s-s-s-s-is your n-n-n-n-n-ame?"
"Angelis."

"It is a family name."
"Now that we are on the subject of names, what is your's?"
Carl looked at her with intrigue. He was puzzled by how she turned up out of nowhere. Carl couldnt trust anyone,now that Lola was in his life.
"My name is-"
Carl looked around neverouly, trying to think of a name.
"my name is Frederick."
Carl was digusted by his "new name", he had to use his middle name. He couldn't have come up with anything more creative. He just had to use his boring middle name.
"Frederick Lousler."
"nice to meet you Frederick Lousler."
Angelise was very confused by Carl's name.
"where are you from Angelise?"
"I'm from- out of town."
"Oh, down south." Angelise replied casually.
"Really? I'm surprised. You don't look very tan." Carl said. In fact, she was very pale, paler than even anyone living in Carl's dreary hometown, which had nearly no sunshine.
"I don't spend much time outside. Nobody in my family does. We don't like the openness of the outdoors."
"Well, that's quite interesting. I don't get out much either. It rains too much." Carl said, making small talk while trying to figure out what it was that was odd about Angelise.

"How old are you Angelise?"
"I-I-I-I'm old, older than you."
"You look 20."
"I wish, but older."
"Hey do you know where I can I find a Eve Sender?"
O now did she just say Eve Sender?, Carl couldn't believe it.
"Do you?"
Carl had to lie if he wanted to say alive passed his 13th birthday.
"N-n-n-n-no."


"Oh, you look like one."
"I've never read those books."
"You read."
"No, not really. I've got better stuff to do. Do you know where Eve lives?"
"No."
"Oh." She ran off, leaving Carl surprised.

Carl stode there in shock.
"How could she know Eve?"
Carl's mouth opened wide.
"SHE IS A DEMON. Just my luck, I run into a demon, of course."
MEANWHILE:
Lola was back at the house just sitting and reading her book, looking as fat as ever. Soon after the door opened wide, there was a woman standing at the door way.
"Angelise?"
"Eve?"
"you look so different."
"Well I just happened to have an heir on the way."
"Wow."
"So what are you doing here Angelise?"
"Well the master sent me after you didnt come back for a year, so he sent me to go do some "damage"."
"So have what you been doing all this time?"
"you know the usual demon stuff."
Lola had a glare in her eyes. She had been up to a lot.
(I just want to say to all of you, read back over your post and pretend you didn't write it for a minute. Does it make sense? Is it clear who is saying what? Do you have commas? Quotes in the right place? Italics where he is thinking something? Is everyone in character? Spelling that is, for the most part, correct? Once you have done these things, hit post. It makes the editing easier, particularily if I'm not guessing at what you mean.
And just so you know, I am still posting this story on my profile, even though I haven't updated it in a while. I am hoping to both update and edit through chapter seven. I am pretty sure I have through five edited so far though, so it won't be too much longer. It should be done by the end of this upcoming weekend.
Thank you for reading through my post, and remember to read back over your own. Now lets get back to the story.)

Back in the clearing, Carl was beginning to panic. Now he had three demons on his hands, one of them was his father, and nobody was there to help him.
What's the point of even trying anymore? he thought.
What's the point of even trying anymore? he thought.

"No mom I will not."
"Carl please help me,save your father,be a hero."
"but I'm not brave or strong."
"A hero isnt measured by his streath but my by the streath of his heart."
"Mom would you stop quoting hecules."
"Life is unfair as it is."
"life isnt fair where is that written?"
"MOM!."
"Sorry."
"mom please i need your help."
"you have to do it on you own."
Carl began to cry at the thought of reality. Carl knew he could do it. Whatever Lola,Angelise, his father were planning he knew he would fail.
"Mom I can't, if I try to fight I will fail. I know it."
"Failure is unimportant, What is important is yourself confidence."
"Well I don't have any of that do I."
"Mom just go, I want to suffer on my own. like I will be for the rest of my life."
"Fine."
There was a blue beam of light, His mother said her last good byes and disappeared. Carl got what he deserved. Missary.
((wait, his mom just suddenly appeared and started talking without any introduction...but I also think this could potentially be the end of chapter 7. Anybody want to start chapter 8?))
((I think somebody should start off with Eve and Angelise, and leave Carl where he is for the moment))
A knock came to the front door of what was once Carl's home. Eve answered the door and then stepped back in surprise.
"A-angelise?" she said, almost fearful.
"Yes. Have you gotten the child yet?"
"A-angelise?" she said, almost fearful.
"Yes. Have you gotten the child yet?"
((holy cow, this hasnt been written on in a long time.))
((yeah, not since may 30th. I'm trying to get it going again. If you want to read the whole thing at once, it's on my profile under My Dearest Demon. The original one I'm finishing up right now and then posting that on my profile. Oh, and the stuff that is on my profile isn't completely edited, so you may notice that the first five chapters sound better than the last three.
"Ummm, yeah. A buddy!" Carl replied. The purple people-eater did not pick up on his sarcasm.
"Now, since you don't know where your going, why don't you come with me to visit my friend. Her name is Eve."
"What's her last name?"
"Sender. Why do you ask?"
