Hey readers! This is the sequel to Hell's Isolation, called Hell's Gates. You are reading chapter 1. Again, I'm sorry for not having this up sooner. But please read and enjoy!
As Black Heart roared in rage and flashed into a demonic form, the whole world turned a dark blue and black atmosphere. An evil and enraged grin spread across the young devil's muzzle, and he faded away like dust in the wind. The earth regained its natural color as the coast became clear. Humphrey, the Dark One, sighed as he lowered his head, changing back to his normal form. He turned to look at Kate, and she approached him. She embraced him into a hug, holding him close as he nuzzled into her chest.
"He'll be back..." Humphrey began, looking up into Kate's eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll be ready." She replied, giving him a soft kiss on his cold wet nose.
He smiled, but his smile faded as he looked away. His expression became worried, and he sighed. He did not want Kate in this war against Hell. He knew of the risk, the risk of losing her. He did not want that.
"Kate..." He began, calm and gentle. "I don't want you in this. I could lose you."
"Ssh... Its going to be ok," She said. "I am not leaving your side. This is OUR fight. I'm not letting them take you away from me. Not again."
With that, she gave him a tender kiss. A kiss in which he allowed and returned, connecting their muzzles passionately. The act of passion lasted a couple moments before they pulled away. Humphrey could sense that no matter how much he pleaded, she was going to be in this war. He smiled at the fact that she was a fighter, tough, stubborn, but loving. He nuzzled into her neck, and she held him once again.
At that very second, Winston and a couple Alphas came rushing to Kate and Humphrey's den. They came to a harsh halt and panted a bit to catch their breath. They had a look that Kate recognized to be panic, someone in the pack just got killed. Winston didn't even have to say a word, Humphrey and Kate stood and together the group of wolves rushed to the scene in which a pack member was just killed.
They arrived at the scene, a bloody mess. The victim was completely brutalized, no mear mortal could do such a thing like this. Kate and Humphrey took one look, and nearly had their stomachs come out their throats. Kate looked to the other side of the gathering, and saw her sister, Lilly. Lilly had her face in Garth's chest as she sobbed at the loss. She was so young and innocent, and was forced to see such a scene. Garth held her and rubbed her back as he cooed in her ear.
Humphrey took a look of rage. Kate looked over at him, and seen the anger tensing in his eyes. For once, she was frightened of him. What he could do. What he would do to whoever did this. Kate looked back at the murder victim, studying the blood stained fur. After a few moments of deep study, she figured out who this wolf was. It was Eve. Her mother.
At that moment Winston had just discovered the same thing. He looked at his oldest daughter, and seen that she already knew it was her mother. Winston sighed and began to walk to Lilly. She, however, did not know yet. But she had to know. He approached her and Garth, and let out a cough to clear his throat. Garth heard this, and gave the old former Alpha his immediate attention. Lilly did too, wiping the tears from her soaked furry cheeks.
"Lilly..." Winston began. "There's no easy way to say this. So I'll just say it. The dead wolf you are looking at... is your mother."
The face Lilly produced when she heard this was a face that haunted Winston in nightmares. He never thought he'd see the day where he seen his youngest most innocent daughter look so broken, so hurt. She pushed her face back into Garth's chest and wailed and began to sob harshly. She screamed and cried in mourning of her loving mother, soaking her mate's chest fur with tears of despair. He held her close, and could not help but cry with her.
Kate, now seeing how her beloved sister was broken, took a mirror look of Humphrey, rage in her eyes. Her young and innocent sister was now broken and scarred for life from the loss of their mother. Kate now had full intention of doing the exact same Humphrey would do to whoever did this. Kate wanted the bastard's pelt on a silver platter to frame and hang on her and Humphrey's den wall. She wanted the dog's claws to wear as battle gear, she wanted the hound's skull to drink its blood from.
Just then, something caught Humphrey's eye. A symbol in the blood spill around the dead body of Eve. He looked closer, and recognized it instantly. It was the same symbol that Lupious had as a tattoo on his arm. His son, Black Heart, possessed the same marking. Humphrey immediately knew this was the work of Black Heart. He growled softly to himself, ruing the day he would come face to face with the bastard of a hound again.
"Kate..." He began quietly, looking at her. "We're going to find this fucker... and we're going to rip his beating heart from his chest. We're going to brutalize him like he brutalized your mother."
Kate liked the sound of that. She smiled and evil smile, and all he seen was the desire for revenge on her face. He smiled too, awaiting his next encounter with the young devil.
Okay, so Black Heart massacred Eve. This left Lilly broken and scarred, which only brought Humphrey and Kate rage and desire for revenge. What will happen next? Find out next chapter! Leave a review and pm me to tell how I did. Peace!
