Drawn to a final showdown
The evil had yet to reveal
Its true self to us. The five
Of us ready to face whatever
Evil that Hell could unleash.
We had no crosses, no holy weapons
Only the power of our love for
Each other and for those who had
Already fallen at the hands of this
Demon. Mothers, fathers, siblings, and
Dear friends we had lost before
A final battle where we could face
Our enemy, who cowardly struck down
His previous victims. Inside our eyes
Stood the raging fire of wanted vengence
In our hearts the power of our love
Which could rival hundreds of bombs.
Standing side by side with my love
And my best friend I closed my eyes,
Thoughts of my grandpa came to me,
His stern face telling me to fight hard,
To fight smart, to punish what had
Taken him and my grandmother away.
My eyes opened to tears trying to break
Free and the sight of the girl I love
Fighting back her own tears as visions
Came to her, I heard her gentle voice
Whisper to her dream, "I will momma,
I'll make it pay!" To each side of my
All eyes were close and tears forced
Out of shut eyelids.

At once the floor exploded up and
Bright flames were spit from it as
A tornado of fire rose through the
Hole. In the flame we could all feel
The evil that was hidden there.
Quickly the fire charged toward
Us, but we locked arms and
Stood strong. Sensing our power
And lack of fear the flame
Exploded outward, blowing all
Of the stained glass windows out from
This tall church tower. It
Came here to show us that God
Did not scare it and could not
Hurt it. But it didn't know
That we came to show it we
Did not need God, we had love
And we were not scared of this
Demon. His tornado of flames
Dissipated and he set down
On hoofed feet. His
Red scaled body glimmered
Against the remains of the
Fiery entry.
"Dare thou to stand against me?
Death and stuffering only await thee!"
His clawed hand pointed at me
"Once you had a father grand,
But I struck him down with a deadly hand!"
My rage no longer contained I
Charged at the evil being with
A fierce cry. This grand battle
Had begun and I was
Fiercly determined to finish it.
