This is a continuation of Hunting a Demon, a Choose Your Own Adventure Story started by JF Danskin and written in drabbles and double-drabbles. Find out more here, or return to the previous chapter: ‘The Darkness of the Depths’.

You hurry towards the gates. “Henk, we need to get the hell out of here and rescue your daughter!”

“That demon’s controlling her mind.” The man is calm, but sounds defeated.

Taking a different approach, you clamber up. It’s topped with lethal spikes. But with your chain mail…

You wriggle out of the armor and cover the spikes. “We can clamber over now!” you call.

“I’ll follow.” There’s no hope in Henk’s voice.

Continue.
