Chapter 36 - It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
David quickly ducked into the next room as two steak knives whooshed past his head. He couldn’t believe what was happening. Even with the crazy turn his life had taken recently with learning that magic existed and that there was supposedly some doomsday prophecy happening he never expected that something as insane as this would happen.

He had found himself stuck inside a strange house earlier that he had never seen before and couldn’t remember how he had gotten there much less where everyone else was. Upon closer examination of the interior of the house he found that everything in the house--even the house itself was made of plastic. It was right after that realization that he noticed the life-size killer Barbie doll following him.

“Join us, David.” The Barbie growled disturbingly. “All who join the all-powerful and wise Lord Devon will spared of his wrath.” It finished as it tossed two more knives at him that narrowly missed.

He of course had absolutely no idea what the children’s toy was talking about. All he could do was keep avoiding death at the hands of the Barbie as he tried to find a way out of his plastic prison. He eventually found his way into the main entrance area but found the door was sealed shut. He listened to the sound of his pursuer’s footsteps as something big moved in front of the house outside blocking all of the light.

“It’s too late for you, David. Lord Devon is upon us and he will not be pleased that you did not join us.” The Barbie told him in the darkness. “It’s a shame really. You could have finally been at peace if you had only just accepted Devon’s love.”

Just as the Barbie finished speaking, the entire roof of the house came off. He shielded his eyes from the light as he waited for them to adjust. He was stunned by what he saw. Above him stood a giant teenage boy but couldn’t quite make out any details of his appearance other than that. Then before he could even react, the boy, who he assumed must be Devon, reached down and grabbed him.

David shot up gasping for breath as he looked around. No longer was he in the barbie house or being held by that Devon person. Instead, he was sitting in the spacious RV the group had found a few weeks before when they began the trip to Pennsylvania. As his quick, shallow breaths began to return to normal he realized he had woken Teresa up.

“You okay?” She asked him as she yawned.

“Yeah. Just had a...bad dream.”
