Chereads / Rabbit's Foot: Heartbreak Hero / Chapter 7 - In The Idol's Web

Chapter 7 - In The Idol's Web

"Doesn't Everyday feel the same for you?" A voice rung out through a megaphone, yet couldn't be seen. "Doesn't everyday feel boring in this city? Don't you wish you could be larger then LIFE!" A tiny woman on a hovering stage floated up next to them, sounding louder then expected despite being the size of a common house spider. 

Eido walked on the stage, being shown on the stage's cameras to make her more easily seen. Her 6 eyes and the 4 arms on her back somehow made her look cute, maybe due to her Idol outfit, that also probably helped.

She walked to the edge, tipping her hat to Ven as she jumped at a high speed and landing on his Chest. "You must be the undead I've heard so very little about."

"I'm sorry, but I've heard more about the bird girl over there then you, shortcake." He smirked, trying to blow her away, despite not having lungs.

"Ven, shut up." Avis said in a hushed voice, seeming more scared of the cute idol then anything.

"What? She's tiny. I mean, I have made myself small, but never that small. Like, If had lungs, I could just blow her away."

Eido summoned some webbing with her hand and used it to shut Ven's mouth, which Tid-Bit couldn't help but giggle at.

"Now then, Ven, was it? I am here over your disturbance in the plaza. It wasn't very 'cool' of you to do that. All undead are to have a shock collar on." Eido said with a cute smile.

"Hey Spider lady. I dunno why you're trying to be cute for me, I don't feel properly. Death does that. Also don't try and seduce me, I have/had a girlfriend. And if she's still alive, even undead, I'm still gonna love her."

Eido rolled all of her eyes and flicked Ven on the nose with two hands. "Well, I don't truly care if you're seducible or not. The only thing Panila cares about, and personally called me for, was what's keeping you alive." She said like she was proud of her accomplishment. 

Eido pulled out a tiny smart phone, well normal sized for her, and rang up the leader of Detainment and the ruler of the whole underbelly, Panila Vincula.

"Hey, Panny, I got the... I'm sorry Miss Vincula. I won't call you Panny. B-But I got an undead Rabbit, and a bird named idiot." Avis tried to get something out, but Eido silenced her with a glance before going back to talking. "Uh huh. Yes, he isn't a Decaynine... Okay. I'll bring them in for judgement." She hung up, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Alright, you two are coming with me to Detainment."

"Detainment? What, you gonna lock us in a rubber room?"

Avis meanwhile, looked scared out of her wits right now, as Detainment was the last place anyone in the underbelly wanted to be. 

"Hmm, I would say that the probability of finding more information the sub-minds is high if we go. Plus, we aren't exactly able to get out of this webbing." Tid-Bit said in a bubbly voice as she looked at Eido. 

Ven sighed and reluctantly let Eido drag the two on to her stage.

As Eido's grand stage took off, with Avis and Ven hanging off the edge, strung up by webs, the two started to talk about what they should do.

"So, Birdie, you got any idea were we're headin?"

"Detainment Domain... The cruellest place of The Underbelly... Run by the overseer and dominant Ruler of this place... Panila Vincula."

"Panila? That's a dumb name."

"You are going to get us killed..."

"Yeah, well death ain't that bad... Though to be honest, it is just a black void after."

"WHAT!?" Avis shook the dangling webs by accident at the thought of this Rabbit's knowledge of death.

After about an hour of dangling, and Avis vomiting from motion sickness, the two saw the overlooking prison. It looked like a dark spire, with prison lights constantly lighting up parts of the prison, like a cruel reminder of futile escape.

"Here we are, Sweetums. The palace of the great!" Eido yelled as she cut Ven and Avis down, with the two landing on each other with a thud. Eido chuckled a bit before motioning two guards, a pair of undead with rotted hound like heads.

"You, Dog, can you carry these two?" Eido said with a point and her signature smile. The dogs nodded with an annoyed grunt and picked up the Duo, putting them over their shoulder.

As Ven passed the many shining cells in the prison, he could hear wailing, crying, or just general fighting. "Geez. No wonder you were so scared, Birdie."

"Quiet." The Decaynine holding Ven said as they reached a large, imposing door that seemed to send shivers down his dead spine.

Eido pushed open the door, despite her tiny size she was surprisingly strong... Then Ven saw that the door was Automatic, letting out a small laugh.

"Alright, lets go get judged."

"Ven, please please please don't piss them off." Avis said with a nervous look as they were about to enter.
