The difference between good and evil Pt 10

Number 2 and the strange creature fought as Veronica gabbed me and started pulling me towards the exit.

"What's going on!" I yell at her.

"There is no time to explain Aunt we need to get you out of here!" Just then I notice the bodies of those creatures that took Veronica to begin with scattered all around us.

We don't make it four steps down the hallway when several of those creatures block our path. Holding up a large gun attached to her hip Veronica shoots cutting large holes into every single one of them, they fall to the ground dead.

I keep my shock held in and keep following her, but when we get to an intersection I remember the way to Goliath, grabbing her arm I yell. "We can't leave without destroying Goliath!"

The sounds of battle now fully fill the hall, loud crashes and the sounds of swords hitting each other make it hard to hear anything. She stops for a moment confused, but then nods and allows me to take her.

Down the hall are multiple guards, but each one of them go down a single blast of Veronica's gun, once at the elevator I notice a long streak of blood coming from the other side of the hall.

"Theo's been here already, we need to hurry there might still be time." I say as I push Veronica into the elevator. Once inside I type the code and hit the button that allow us to go into the lab were Goliath is held.

On the way down I ask Veronica were she has been and take a moment to hug her, relief fills me when I feel her in my arms, and the tiredness from the last few days wear's off in an instant.

When she pulls away she wears a large smile and says. "A young girl with extraordinary abilities saved me, you would love to meet her."

"I'm sure I would." I hug her again as the elevator finally stops and opens.

I walk in expecting to find Theo trying to wake him, but instead he's already gone. The wires that were attached to him, and the rock that held him in place are completely gone, destroyed and a large whole in the right wall tells me he tore his way to above land.

All that is there is a bloodstained Theo laying next to a computer, he stands fully healthy and able, there is a bloodstain on his stomach but the skin is smooth, unblemished.

Veronica lifts her gun to shoot him but with a wave of his hand she flies into the wall. I scream her name and try to run to her but before I even make it a step I'm being lifted into the air by my throat.

"Shame I couldn't have you as a wife, but we can't have Thoth finding you here and giving you his power." His voice comes out malicious, unlike the Theo I've known over the past few days.

"So eager for love you missed every warning sign concerning me, your and idiot for following such emotions." His eyes are now completely black like his masters and he wears a wicked smile.

"Shame you don't believe in God, or else maybe Thoth would be able to find you." He laughs as he lifts me further.

As I lose consciousness I decide to do something I've never done, cry out to God. I whisper God and all at once his grip breaks and I fall to the ground.

When I hit the ground and look up I see a tall African man in front of me. He wears a long purple silk robe and stand in between me and Theo.

"Wh- how did you get here so quick!" Theo's voice comes out ragged and hoarse with shock.

"I was always here." A bolt of electricity comes out of his and hits Theo square in the chest sending him flying back, the moment that happens however he disappears.

Not wanting to think about the implications of what just happened, I run over to Veronica, there is a large gash on her head but her heart still beats.

Placing her arm over my shoulder I lift her up just to drop her. She's completely unconscious, just then a claw taps my shoulder. I whip my head back to see a small bird human. "Let me take her." She says.

So she does, she lifts her with ease and begins to fly her back into the elevator. I follow shocked and tired, but now something is with me, a presence, unlike any I've ever felt before.
