Chapter 500: Bloody Soup-III
At some point between the earthquake that Satan had caused by chiming his bell, a certain being had been pushed out of his place. It was the grim chick, Hallow, he didn't know what had happened. Why holding to the hem of the pocket which he had been holding tight to, his fingerless wings caused him to be thrown face first to the floor.
Like that, Hallow's body rolled on the ground. "Owh!" Grumbled the all mighty chick. "What is wrong with his place?! Elly we should— where am I?"
By the time Hallow had lifted his head, he found himself lost. Where is he?!
Elise had disappeared somewhere and having thrown away from her pocket, he was at lost to where he was now. He pushed himself from the the red carpeted floor that had turned brownish. "Where is this?" He looked around. "Of fuck me..." cursed Hallow when he looked around and found Elise no where near him.
He knew it! This is what always happen every time he thought of springing up an action! Now he was lost. Not that he cared being lost. The ultimate problem was that he had lost himself inside Satan's mansion! The King of Hell's house! Not to mention, Elise often replace herself in trouble and he as worried for her.
Once again, it is not because he is scared!
A gust of cold wind brushes his body which caused all hair on his round body to stand. It wasn't only his mind that was warning him but his entire soul told him to leave the place immediately. Not wanting to waste time, Hallow murmured to himself, "I need to replace Elly. Before anything is too late—"
GROWL
Hallow felt his entire body stiffened in second. "I must have heard it wrong, yes," whispered Hallow to himself. "I am not scared of a dog. That servant said it himself that there is only a dog here I am not scar—" another howl came from the end of the corridor. "What in hell's name is there a dog that howl like wolf?!"
He had just cursed when he saw at the end of the shadow where he heard the growling sound came from. The shadow was large, a clean shadow of a four legged animal could be seen painting the red carpet with the black color.
A gulp passed by Hallow's neck when he saw the King's pet opened its mouth wide enough for him to witness the jagged sharp teeth opening widely.
"Oh God..." whispered Hallow to himself as Wiggles came out from the wall. Silvery droll dripped from the corner of the animal's mouth that oozes down to the carpet. Its deep black coat swung in the direction it body moved.
As if the teeth and the eerie howl and hissing breaths from the animal wasn't enough to scare anyone, it does scare Hallow now when the animal begin to speak in a baby-like voice, "L...Let...us p..play..."
"Fuck!" Hallow cursed in haste, and immediately without looking at the eyes of whatever animal that had came out, he made a run while screaming, "Play with you own master!"
He wasn't scared of dog! He wasn't! claimed Hallow who had dashed away from his previous spot. But he is afraid of getting torn to pieces!
Running away from the place, Hallow could only count his stars when he saw the animal that tailed him had ran as fast as a hare. He had shifted into a black hound, making a quick run but even then he was tired out while Wiggles were filled with vivacity.
Unable to run, and needing the place to hide,?he changed to the small chick, sliding to one of the room.
Hollow breathed out all the relief breaths he had been holding for successfully running away from the animal. Whatever game that dog wanted, Hallow was sure it will involve his life. He had been thinking how he had been getting too much sleep as if he was a human but now he thought that sleeping was much better than trapped and running in the maze house of the devil.
"Where am I anyway?" Hallow murmured to himself. Before he noticed he had entered inside a room which he didn't know was for. The room held various candles that were lighted but the darkness still persist that it made it difficult for him to look at the place well.
He was walking around when he noticed that in the particular room there was no chair no cupboards or any other furnitures. The place was empty. "Was this room abandoned?" He asked himself again, it was strange seeing how empty the room was.
He took three steps from his left when he noticed that the room was truly as empty as he thought. There was one side of the wall that was covered with a wide maroon velvet curtain. He wondered what was behind the curtain because the windows were on his right side. There should only be wall after the spot he stood at.
A low growl came near the door, warning him that Wiggles had came after him. Startled, Hallow pushed himself underneath the curtain, wriggling his round butt that couldn't get inside until he successfully was able to hide.
He then heard the creaking noise of the animal footsteps stopped all of a sudden. No! Wiggles had stopped right across the door of the room.
Peeking out between the red curtain, his wide green eyes zeroed on the door on the far left side of his current position. He could see the black shadows below but the door didn't move.
Hallow questioned why it had stopped there in purpose.
"Of course!" Hallow then exclaimed, feeling himself proud when a knowledge came to him. "Unlike me, he has a big body and four legs. He wouldn't be able to open the door! I am a genius! Why didn't I think of this before?" He was so happy when it comes to his head his next trouble. "But that would mean I am also trapped here..."
Yet the worse hadn't come to him yet. The doorknob suddenly moved and turned. Hallow who noticed it turning slowly felt his breaths stopping on his lungs. His eyes turning wide and his entire body turn rigid. His back continue to press at the cold wall behind him as if doing so would erase his entire presence.
The door suddenly cracked open in a burst. "No! You shouldn't be able to do that! That is unfair! Oh God! Oh God! This is batshit crazy!" Cursed Hallow whose words rushed from his mouth as he continue to watch the door pushing open in a teasing slow progress.
He had never been in the position of being chased and now being chased, he knew how hair-raising it felt!
He couldn't open his eyes but could feel the movement of Wiggles across the room. It's footsteps and ragged breathing came closer and closer toward him and when Hallow opened his green eyes again, he found himself standing in front of a wide mouth of a feral beast opening toward him.
"AHH!"
Hallow closed his eyes when he felt a sudden pull from behind him by a black gloved hands. His entire yellow round body was trembling and the person who had pulled him looked at what was on his hands with a frown.
The man's bright golden eyes in contrast to his black deep hair narrowed down on what seemed to be the animal he remembered his daughter brought with her. "What is this? A reaper?"
Hallow snapped his green eyes opened when he heard a voice. Turning around he noticed how bright the place was all of a sudden. Springing from the hand, he looked around to see that he was in the middle of a forest where trees blurred the figure of the man who had been holding his body.
Why was he here? He then touched his body where there was no wounds, "I am alive!" He rejoiced. Just a little bit more when Wiggles had snapped its mouth, he was sure he would be turned into dog food. But how did he escaped? And why was he here in the middle of a forest when he had been inside Satan's house a minute ago?
When Hallow realized the questions that run through his head, his head immediately turn to look at the person who was holding him.
His large green eyes then met the stoic golden eyes that looked down at him with a frown.
They stared each other in confusion. And at the same time, the two questioned one another, "Who are you?"
