I was in my childhood church upstairs with a group of kids in our designated class according to our age it was a younger me. We heard loud footsteps approaching and they were all scared and one of the students told me stay seated but I hot up and I opened the door. Outside there was a monster thin and all black like lightning bolts and it started walking towards me slowly. Eventually speeding up to the point where I was running but the stretch of hall upstairs was longer and never ending. At this point I as crying I didn't want to die finally I reached the end of the hall and started going down the stairs and it screeched at me and sped up. I made it all the way down and it was as if the demon couldn't follow me down so it reached towards me and glared but eventually turned and left. I looked down where a bunch of church members were having a potluck oblivious to the fact that there was a demon up stairs terrorizing the children. I went down and no one paid me attention as I went out into the grassy area and started playing with the children outside my body had grown but I wasn't at my current age yet. We were running from someone but then it turned into a run for our lives as the person chasing us wasn't human and looked like another demon. I had to lead the children to safety and when the demon finally caught up I turned and told them to keep running. I ran towards it, and it was as if it was surprised I wasn't afraid and I tackled it to the floor and started beating it until it was a bloody mess on the floor. I got up my hands trembling and I fell backwards when I looked up it was as if there was a plague of demons and they started terrorizing the rest of the church members as well as the house surrounding the area. I grew in age again this time I was a tween and I couldn't help but cry, I had finally gotten the guts to beat my demons and now there was more of them much stronger than I was. A sword materialized next to me and my body was light so that I could move quickly. I was able manuever through them easily slicing off limbs and heads and stabbing them, doing flips, and doing things impossible until finally there was massive amounts of dead bodies and blood everywhere. I myself was soaked in it and I swing my sword watching all the blood slide off. I looked to the windows of the church to see a bunch of dead humans but those who were alive we're watching me and saying I was also a demon and that I should be killed or I would curse everyone.
