"Releassse me… Or die a horrible deathhhh… When my brethren arrives…" A deep and metallic sounding voice rang out from the red ball.
A deep chill ran down Elliot's spine when he heard its voice.
The fact that it was able to speak so fluently in English also added many layers of mystery to the situation.
"What are you? Why did you attack me?" Elliot asked cautiously.
"I am… The scariest criminal here in this game. None who angers me will live to see their next sunriseeee… Releassee me, and I will spareee your life…" The creepy voice rang out again.
Immediately, a sense of wrongness struck Elliot.
For one thing, nobody really scary ever labeled themselves as "scariest".
"Scary" was a kid's word.
And for another, wasn't its main threat about its brethren? Why did it suddenly switch to it sparing his life?
Elliot decided to play along.
