Chapter 3 - A Third Of The Sea Turned Into Blood.

"W-what the fuck!?", Florian shouted upon encountering the harrowing entity.

He's brain cannot process anymore disturbing sights that it lose its rationality that would might led him having neurosis or will lead to comatose.

William and him cannot decide between flight or plight since once in front of that demonic figure, the survivability rate wouldn't equate to 1 percent.

The devilish creature can be describe like what you would expect from the appearance of a demon. It is standing above six foot with a sleek and thin body, naked but it's skin didn't emit a beige like color.

Rather it's on a more vivid side of dark, bloodish red. You cannot spell a demon without its elongated horns and meter span sharpened tail.

"Ho...Ho...Hoo? *violent creeking!... Hello, did you come with reservations, mister?", the entity eerily spurted with an ever-changing tone from high pitch to deepest tone.

It's standing over the headless body of Sean which just a moments ago were alive and kicking. Red liquid spilled out all over the floor where it actually turned it into a real life blood bath.

"Hmm... Very well nice guests we have here. Hehehe!! Would you like to have our appetizers first or do we dig in right to the main course?", the devil applauded while pointing its slender finger to the two who were very unease.

The devil has bright, luminous grin coming out from its mouth which proves its delight from seeing the fear in the face of two hopeless humans. "We recommend you, our dear guests, to decide qu-----quickly because order's breaching," the devil added.

"What should we do?", Florian asked himself. He looks around his surroundings and noticed that it's been clearly a mess for today.

Blood is about and all, his brother is lying dead and cold in front of his feet while Sean's head were facing upwards towards them. He cannot move an inch even as William, it was like their being watch all over the place and any unnecessary movement would prove death in no time.

"Florian...", William whispered. "Get out of here and find a help. I'll buy us time." William stood affirm and he made a concrete decision, there's no time to be wasted.

"But, William," Florian worryingly said with about of crashing into despair for selling again his friend.

"I cannot do it, man. I will not leave you alone here. Remember that you still have your younger brothers. I'll be the one who will do it, you'll go ahead." Florian wasn't really affirmed with his decision but in the talk of him or his friend, it's better if the other guy would see tommorow rather than him.

"I'm the one who brought you two in this situation. I cannot let myself go away from this and suffer even more losses, instead I'll be the one who'll buy us time."

Tears started to pour out from Florian's eyes so as did William. They were both trembling in fright and hopelessness.

I've once heard that horrifying and frightening things were not only caused by some fear or disgust from a vivid imagery.

But also it is in when you know that you were not actually safe at all or that every thing you actually know were just completely turned upside down and there's no point of reconciliation.

"You were a good friend, Florian," uttered William. "But, sorry I'm actually planning to follow Sean in the afterlife. Call me selfish but it's my parting gift for you."

"Don't do it, William!", Florian slowly said. But William did take no heed and quickly grab the nearest object that approvable as a stunning weapon.

"Hey, demon!", he shouted, " Aren't we your customers!?"

"Oh! That's assured, our dear guests. Feel free to ask anything you want," the devil said with an accent after it turned towards William's direction.

"Then, how about if we want to get out now? It's been getting dirty in here!", William bravely said.

"W-wee-we... Cannot accept such a request, our dear guests. Not until you tried out our very own delicacies," its voice shifted again from high to low and still having a grin in its face.

"Then how about... How about we take a look for what are you serving in your buffet house?" It's been a wonderful thing that William manage to have a talk with the devil.

"Oh... Then why not try our appetizer first, fresh plucked eyeballs drenched with slurry blood of a friend," the devil said while lifting up Sean's head and slowly poking out he's eyes, nerves and blood vessels were bursting out just from a single pluck. Blood spurted out again and splashed right in the face of the two.

And then it slowly lend out its palm and offered the two their supposed dish. The devil then throw out the hallow head while it's now frigid.

"Uh...argh! Uwagggh! *pukes", Florian got his stomach spurring so thus William who were stunned by the disgusting act.

"Just get to it, Florian. I'll take the lead," William mumbled while preparing to execute the plan.

"Is there really no other ways? How did it got to this?", Florian said while clinching he's fist who were also upping himself to rush outside since he have no choice.

"So shall we, dear guests. Don't be afraid to dig in," the devil spoke with its back curled down.

"Oh... Ttt-that's rude of me! Let us demonstrate the frast first. We shall show you how it is done."

The devil picked up the first eye with its fingers and bringing it to its mouth. It slowly took a bite and gnashed it in its mouth while blood were coming out of its lips, what a rude manner it showed.

"Nah! I'll have you then follow!", William screamed while the devil is not paying attention. He raised and smacked the baseball bat that he grasped a later ago to the devil's head. *thud *bang

"Run, Florian!" "This is goodbye, William!"

Florian quickly sneaked out from the devil's blind spot while it still not yet recovered.

It took eternity to reach the door since it feels like something's not right.

He rushed to the front door and hastily turned the doorbell from every direction he could think of.

"Just open, damn it!", he mumbled while being overcomed by agitation. "Fuck off!"

With the moments of rustling here and there, "Finally!" Florian pulled the door open and was prepared to run a full sprint away from the house, if only that's the situation.

"W-what the heck!" What's in front of him is not he would expect to be, there's no any red dusk from an evening afternoon but except something is totally different.

"It didn't look like this from before, right?! Where's the outside?!", he's panting when he said it to himself.

To inculcate the situation, void have filled the outside world and shrieking voices lingering all way through. There's nothing but blankness in space and the countless red dots appearing from the darkness that is darker than black.

It's as if they were in a complete different world all the time

"What the heck?", he mumbled. "This... This is... Not right."

Florian didn't mind to take a step to the outside even if he knows that death may spelled out.

"Huh?" In just a blink of an eye, an itchy feeling came from Florian's arm and then it turned into like burning flesh.

"Ha...ughhhh!!!! Arghhh! My hands! My arm!"

He's crying like a baby after he pushed himself back inside the house. He looked again to his arms to see what actually happened, and there's nothing to be seen in there other than red liquid flowing out and what's left from his arm that have been cut through the elbow.

"Arghhh!!! Fuck it!!!! Ow, Ow, Ow!!" He's tearing buckets and a disfigured facial expression occured in his rugged face to show how excruciating it really felt.

"Crap! I need to cover this up or I'll lose blood from this!", Florian says after he took off his necktie and tearing it into two, "This is bad! This is bad!"

He bound this up to his elbow with his left hand and teeth.

"Hmmghhhhpp!!", even in just binding his amputated arm felt like being stabbed multiple times, because actually it's kind of like that.

Florian lied his back to the wall after putting the cloth and he slowly closed the door.

He's tired and fucked up, everly decapitated and no sense of hope can be seen in his eyes.

"Ooooo---hhoohh! We forget to tell. Please be careful of dogs and beasts that wait for the leftovers that have fallen off from the table," an ever-changing, harrowing voice said.

"Wi-william?", Florian mumbled while slowly raising his limp head.

"He-heehee!! Now shall we go to the main course?", the devil joyfully asked to the one who's left alive to eat the food.

Florian gaze into it and yet again he saw a horrifying sight.

The devil stood there facing him while carrying three impaled heads in its left hand, one is Florian's brother, Sean's head and the should be expected, William's head freshly cut from the spine.

"No, no... This can't be," Florian uttered, "William... William, I'm...*snort... I'm so sorry." Water flows out from his eyes again, so does blood.

On the right hand, the devil holds a knife, a butcher's knife stained with fresh blood, there's no more than fit for cleaving flesh and meat than this.

"He-heehee... Hahaha!!!!!!" The devil slowly walks from its standing position towards Florian while it's laughing hysterically.

"Ha... Haha... Hahaha!!! Arghhh!", he probably have lose his mind and started to beat in with the devil's giggle.

After all the things that have passed, maybe Florian have actually gave up on trying and just accepted his fate.

"He... Hehehehe!! Hahaha!!! I like it! We finally have here a satisfied customer. Hehehe!!!"

The devil continued to feast on the man's anguish, there's no delightful sight for them than to see fear and loathing.

"Ha... Haha...haaaah! Arghhh!!", he laugh and cried at the same time. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Everyone."

Florian slugged out of the corner. He holds up his left arm and the same with the amputated limb up to cover his, he's loathing out loud.

"Oh... God." Once again he called out.

"What did I do to deserve something like this?" Florian Judahaiah, a man of knowledge, someone who doesn't believe in God, called out to the Almighty One.

"I don't know if there's someone hearing this, God or demon or angel or anything. But please, please.... Just kill me already!"

Now he's wishing for death even though death is in front of him, holding the heads of those who feared its name.

"Don't be afraid, son."

"Huh?" Florian slowly raised his head after hearing something unexpected.

"That voice, I have heard it from somewhere. Am I dreaming?", he said to himself. That voice, it played out on his head.

That voice doesn't resemble from someone he have known in his entire life, "Yet again I felt it like coming from the back of my ear. It's telling me to... Fear not? Who the heck would tell something like that in this kind of situation?", he said to himself.

A moments of realization until he actually realize that it's from someone he didn't expect to answer.
