A Helping Hand
My Light in the DarknessA flash of pink followed by a blood curdling scream resounded through the night.
'Here, take one drop of this, you'll feel much better.'
'No! Get away from me!' the girl retreated and backed away, using her arms to shield herself.
Tiffany sighed and popped open a bottle of blue mist before blowing it softly towards the petite girl trembling on the ground.
'Get away from...' was all she could manage. Her last memory was of a girl dressed in pink, dropping one drop of a clear green liquid down from a strange little corkscrew bottle, and then she passed out cold.
'Hey Tiff! Back so soon? How was your night stroll?' Sunny chirped as she bounced on the couch with a grin on her face.
'Eventful. I encountered one.'
Sooyoung immediately turned to face Tiffany, urgency and concern evident in her eyes. Tiffany seemed to pick up on that and smiled reassuringly, 'don't worry Soo, I took care of it easily.'
'What happened though?'
'I saw one trying to the soul out of this poor girl so I went all sorts of jaguar on it. Killing it didn't really take long but I had to knock the girl out with some Kukata Mist before I could give her the Alkonost Teardrop.'
'Remember to reload on potions before you head out tomorrow Tiff,' Seohyun ladled a pearly silver solution from the cauldron into two separate corkscrew bottles. Sooyoung helped to screw the cork in to seal the bottles tightly and labeled them before placing them on the shelf of potions.
'I will, thanks Hyunnie,' Tiffany said before she started to shrink and transform into a pink kitten.
At this moment, Jessica sauntered into the room and picked Tiffany up casually before slumping onto the couch.
'Tiffany had an episode during her nightly walk today Jess,' Sunny pouted and walked over to get a drink from the fridge.
'Really? Goodness, what happened?'
Being the most patient one, Seohyun slowly repeated the story again to Jessica who Tiffany lazily. When the story was over, it was obvious that Jessica was frowning to herself.
'Is it just me, or has there been an increase in demons running around lately?'
'I've noticed it too, and I've been trying to search for a way to stop them from appearing. They've been hurting and killing more people recently, it'll only spell disaster if this continues,' Sooyoung stated as she flipped through the countless books that were spread over the floor, all around her.
'Oh, so that's why you've been huddled in that pile of books all week. Have you found anything yet?'
'No. Not anything useful at least. The only way I found that can stop the demons from roaming around earth is by pouring a special concoction at the gate of hell to prevent the demons from escaping. The concoction is said to generate a three-headed dog called Cerberus which will guard the gate so as to stop anyone from entering or leaving.' Sooyoung didn't take her eyes off her witchcraft books at all.
'So? That doesn't sound too bad. Why don't we just make the concoction!' Sunny jumped up from her seat and flailed her arms wildly.
'Because to make the concoction, we need a dragon's tooth, three Phoe
