Off to Paineston

[Phillis Von Christ]

" I told ya already! I'm real strong. Strongest one here, I could bet ya a good coin on it. " The boy said, rather proudly. " I'll fight ya, but ya gotta fight clean, no weapons." The boy stands in a ready position. "I'll give ya the first hit!"

[Walter Grace]

"I'm not fighting you, kid. Besides, forst off I can use magic. Even if you told me right now that is againsed the rules, I'm a demon. Clearly, I'm more powerful than you. Sorry." Walter shrugged, but scratched the back of his head.

[Phillis Von Christ]

"I ain't 'kid'! The name's Grayson. And stop bein' sucha baby! Imma half-demon, ya know!" He yelled out, he was obviously a kid who had learned his threats off the streets.

[Walter Grace]

"Half-demon, ehh?" Walter smirked. "I'm a pure demon, practically leader of all demons. Learn who you are speaking to before making empty threats." Walter was clearly just picking on him, but he couldnt help it. He was having fun, "How old are you?"

[Phillis Von Christ]

"I'm eight years old, but so what?! I'm a real strong fighter!" Grayson said, sticking his tongue out.

[Walter Grace]

"A strong fighter is no match for Satan's head demon, Grayson!" Walter laughed loudly.

[Phillis Von Christ]

"That's impossible! Yer a liar!" Grayson shouted, his demon side showing more. "Mama told me that my papa is head demon! You ain't! Ya big liar!"

[Walter Grace]

Walters face dropped slightly, staring at the boy. "I do not lie, I am satan's top demon...who is your mother?" Walter frowned. He didnt have a child. Clearly this boys mother wanted him to feel better about himself.

[Phillis Von Christ]

" 'Er name is Scarlett! And she ain't never lied to me, she's the bestest mama ever!"

[Walter Grace]

"I'm sure she is, Grayson, I'm just confused is all..." Walter rubbed his temples for a few moments. Scarlett...Scarlett...I...I remember the name from somewhere...where from...?

"Do you know anything about your father then?" Walter asked, fairly confused.

[Phillis Von Christ]

"I just told ya, he's the head demon. I never got to meet 'im though. He's a deadbeat, but my mama told me I look just like 'im."

Phillis tapped on Walters shoulder. "Is this your child per chance? He does look like you." he asked in whisper.

[Walter Grace]

"Of course he is not my child, I'd have been 16! Well, there was that one time...but it was only one time! He-He can't be my child!" Walter flailed his arms around. Looking closer at the boy, he did look similar. His hair was brown and in layers, slightly past his ears. He seemed a bit taller for his age, only slightly, and he was fairly skinny.

Walter stared at Grayson for a few moments longer, before rubbing his eyes, muttering, "...shit...I remember who Scarlett is now..."

[Phillis Von Christ]

"So you did sleep with her?" Phillis asked, a little too openly. Of course, it was just to put the pieces together so that everything would make sense. "This has to be your kid then, it all fits together perfectly."

[Walter Grace]

"Apparently..." Walter muttered. He sighed, running a hand through his hair, being careful to go around the horns. He continued to stare at Grayson, seriosuly surprised.

[Phillis Von Christ]

"Are ya stupid or somethin'? We gonna fight or not?" Grayson called out.

[Walter Grace]

"Please don't talk to me like that, I wont fight you..." Walter raised an eyebrow. Had the boy even heard their conversation?

[Phillis Von Christ]

Phillis laughed. "What're you doing here anyways, little boy?" he asked Grayson.

"I gotta make a living too! And capturin' you two'll get me lotsa money!" He blurted out. Forgetting he was supposed to be quiet about it.

Norman growled angrily. "You fool! I told you to stay quiet about that! Shall I dispose of you like I did with the others?!" he yelled.

Grayson shook his head, obviously scared. "B-But they already knew that's whatcha wanted ta do! Why punish me?!"

"Do I need to make an example out of you, you brat?!" Norman yelled, silencing everything.

"N-No sir.." Grayson gulped back, taking a step away from Norman. Obviously the man intimidated him.

[Walter Grace]

"I suggest you shut your mouth, 'Norman', before I shut it for you!" Walter barked, bringing Grayson behind him towards Phillis and filling his hands with black magic. Clearly, he was pissed off.

[Phillis Von Christ]

Grayson stood beside Phillis. He looked scared. Norman getting angry was a scary thing.

Phillis smiled at the boy politely. He leaned down beside him, and put a hand on his shoulder to help calm him down.


Norman let his hands fall to his sides. " Clearly my group is having some troubles today. I suppose I'll have to deal with you myself.

[Walter Grace]

"Bring it!" Walter barked, getting in a defensive position.
