Chapter 16 - Chapter Sixteen: Failed-Attack

Arya was hitting her head against the bark of the tree. "Stupid," she yelled and repeated over and over.

Walking out, Grimm grabbed her head, "Do that and your forehead's gonna bleed," Grimm let go of her head.

Arya slammed her palms against her face, she was blushing heavy red, "W-w-w-what gives you the right to tell me what to do!"

"Well if you do con-"

"BWA," she shouted.

"Let's just get going and meet the others."

Arya moved her hands to her side, stiffly put. She walked like a robot, not moving her limbs far from one another, just stiff movements.

"What are you doing?"

She ignored him.

"So where are we going?"

"The human kingdom," she said coldly.

At that, Grimm actually, was excited. An odd sense of feeling he knew one should have, but he wanted to put a stop to Father. "I'm guessing the others have a plan?"

Arya fell backwards into Grimm's arms, stiff like a board, "Nope," she said with a dumbfounded look.

Pushing her back onto her feet, he sighed, "This is gonna be a long journey."

Three days have gone by. Jack, Puer and Treyala are shackled together, in chains.

"I told you to wait," Treyala sounded angry, but she said it in a soft tone still, keeping her voice quiet so her captures wouldn't hear her.

"WELL I'M SORRRY," Jack on the other hand, completely ignored her attempt to remain quiet.

In hearing this, the guards came into view. Demons.

"Can y'all shut you're traps!" Shouting at them, this demon, like his partner, were tall, and their skin was very bloody red. To pair with their skin, was their sharp, curved pointy horns, a rough black colour. Grabbing the cell door, his claws were much sharper than Jack's could be, probably sharp enough to cut an oak tree down in one swift strike. Though sharp, they were small, so it would have to be a close precise cut.

"If we catch you-" he ran his tongue along his sharp teeth, made for tearing through skin,"We'll just eatcha here, "the second one let go of the cell and disappeared around the corner.

"I hope y'all talk though," the demons ears were like Grimm's, small and pointy, twitching to the sounds that echoed off the walls, "Because I'm mighty hungry," he smacked his lips becoming joining the other demon.

Treyala looked at Jack, raising her brows, signifying that he should stop messing up.

In retaliation, he spat at her face.

Being the kind man he is, Puer tried to move his hands so he may wipe it, but he forgot that the three had their legs and wrist shackled together, "Sorry," he whispered.

"It's fine Puer, at least you acted sensibly," she looked at Jack.

Pissed, Jack just stared at his crotch.

Treyala gave the room another good look. The tall, tightly pacted cell bars stood infront of them. Cold steel it was, just like their shackles. Looking around the room, it was just dark and damp, so she was able to guess they were definitely in a dungeon. She sighed. We only got in this mess, because Jack couldn't wait for Arya!

A day prior to their kidnapping, Jack and Puer were scouting the outer walls to the first human outpost. Though the humans have only one established kingdom, they put checkpoints, or outpost as they refer to, that need to be past before getting into the heart of their kingdom. Following along the wall to see what defenses were set up, Jack picked up a scent.

The scent was something, horribly strong. It was an awful stench. Though it was just merely a bad to odor to others, with Jack's heighten sense of smell, he was able to visualize the scent...it was what he feared from Grimm. This scent contained the odor of one who would and will kill millions, which he/she probably has. Grabbing Puer and hiding in a near bush, Jack peered through the shrubby to see what he thought to never....demons.

Puer copied Jack, "Are those demons?"

Jack nodded.

"But don't all the clans refuse to work with them, like they're worse than the humans," Puer's voice started to tremble.

Scanning the area, Jack could smell Treyala approaching from where the demons were. If she continues, they'll surely see and kill her. Like a madman, he made a dash out the bush. Extending his claws, exposing his fangs, he began to show more and more of his wolvish side. His ears burst through his hat, and his snout grew.

Before the demons knew, a wild beast pounced them.

"DIE!" Jack's eyes were filled with rage, yet calm. Jumping up to follow-up with a downward strike, he was caught.

One of the demons grabbed him with their long arm. "Poor doggy get lose," the demon was holding his neck.

Struggling to breathe, Jack fought to free himself. Before he knew what happened next, he saw Treyala and Puer rushing in to help...I'm  sorr-he fainted.
