the first step I took into the dark space I was met with a horrible smell that overtook all of my senses, I could almost see the smell it was so bad, I had to stabilize myself on a wall before immediately recoiling after a single touch and wishing I could vomit.
"don't you just love that smell?"(Marie)
*she has got to be messing with me!*
I desperately thought, that thought died the second I watched her take a deep breath and finally ish it with a satisfied smile.
I want to puke.
"you uh do your thing I just remembered I'm good for now."(Syn)
"we came all the way here so you might as well."(Marie)
*kill me or make me unable to smell and feel*
[can't do that]
*you said you could!*
[I lied]
*oh if I could strangle you!*
[you can't tehe]
did it just laugh at me?
"what are you waiting for?"(Marie)
"a creature to come in here to kill me or the odor, whichever I beg for first."(Syn) I muttered under my breath.
"what was that?"(Marie)
"nothin."(Syn)
she went back to whatever it was she was doing, it was hard to tell through my holding my hands and shirt over as much of my face as possible in hopes of making a smell-proof seal, alas my hopes were never to be realized.
I continued watching through my face coverings as she used baby talk and what looked like a primitive wood toy to lure something, a child maybe? God I hope not.
[which God?]
*any of em*
and to my absolute delight it wasn't a child, to my same level of horror it was an overweight, under cared for middle aged man who acted like a child and was dressed in too small, overly stained clothing.
on the outside I was neutral, on the inside I was screaming and asking 'what the fuck?!' over and over, repeating that until it got close enough for Marie to grab at.
the man child screeched before being told good boy and immediately calming down, the fuck?!
well I'd seen enough nightmare fuel for a lifetime.
I turned on my heels silently as I started speed walking in a direction, any direction.
honestly being lost is better than whatever the hell that was.
I didn't go far before some dude bumped my shoulder and recoiled like he wasn't expecting that.
he shared facial similarities with Marie, not alot but enough to tell me they're related, their hair color was the same white.
it made me think of my odd gray colored hair, not sure why.
"watch where you're going!"(vampire)
"I was."(Syn)
"how dare you speak to me like that!"(vampire)
he shrieked at me before trying to slap me across the face.
I easily caught hid hand and started squeezing bringing him to his knees screaming as his hand was turning shades of dark color due to unexpected loss of circulation.
his hand started necrosis faster than it should've, I guess it made some sense because he was a creature that relied on blood.
his now black boney hand was no longer moving in my grip, with a twist and shove his hand came clean off as he went backward down the hall in the direction he came from.
terrified half dressed female servants started fleeing from the room once they got a look, the stump of his hand was barely bleeding as it healed slower than what I've seen my body heal.
his cries of pain and rage bellowed through my ears as he stood and began charging, hoping to catch me off guard.
I stood there calmly as I watched, waiting until he was nearly on top of me before casually stepping aside, he stumbled and fell to his face, his momentum breaking his nose on the hardwood floors.
marke came rushing out immediately after and started cradling the man tenderly, almost motherly.....
"oh my dear boy, you let your anger blind you so often."(Marie)
I didn't say anything, I didn't know what to, what do you day in that situation.
'hi I'm your new step dad forgive me for taking your hand.'
that's fucking terrible.
"from what I've heard you held back, thank you."(Marie) told me as she started approaching.
"sometimes I can't help it."(Syn)
"you mean the demon that takes over?"(Marie)
"how do you?...."(Syn)
"the prison guards tell my father everything."(Marie)
"awesome."(Syn)
I could tell she was trying to control her emotions, I mean I didn't know she had a kid but that doesn't change the fact that I took his hand and broke his nose.
overall she's handling it better than I did when my kids were attacked and I learned about it.
I destroyed an entire kingdom after I learned about it.
