Please Review! Reviewing keeps my motivation going so I can release chapters faster for you guys! Also I'm a bit unsure about the title of this story, it seems really boring. I might change it sometime soon.

Thank you so much Marine Wilson for reviewing! I'm so glad you enjoyed!


Chapter 2: Boogeyman and Egg

Reaching Pyramid's room again, I slam the door shut and move away from it as I feel aching from my stomach due to hunger.

Pyramid's POV:

I arrive at the sanitorium, drawn by the scent of fresh blood. I enter the building as objects on the floor catch my attention, human food items. Moving my focus from the items, my senses are captured by a figure down the hallway, another protector of Alessa who is currently on his knees pulling his own weapon from his chest, I approach him.

'How have you stabbed yourself with your own weapon?' I ask.

'I honestly believe I ran into the sibling of Alessa, Hecate Gillespie. You are familiar with her, right? You must be.' The one Alessa has nicknamed as the Boogeyman responds to me.

'What makes you believe it was her?' I ask, stopping before him as I grab onto the end of his Great Knife, yanking it out of him the rest of the way as he growls from the pain, I then hand him the weapon as he takes it, holding his wound with his other hand.

'She has the ability of telepathy, correct?' He responds.

'Yes.'

'She used it on me to force my weapon from my grasp and into my abdomen.'

'What have you done to give her a reason to have done that, brother?' I respond to him, walking away from him to pick up some of the food items Hecate must have dropped.

'I must have scared her, she believed I was you, and I was unaware of the fact she was not a regular human wandering the streets as I did not respond.' He says, approaching me.

'I am glad she was able to protect herself before you attempted to kill her, otherwise you would have not been able to protect yourself from me.' I say, picking up as much of the food as I can carry in one arm, I continue to speak to him, 'Pick up the rest, you will not be the reason she does not get fed.'

Boogeyman nods as he picks up the remaining food items, not responding to me after my threatening words to him.

Hecate's POV:

Sitting on the bed, I ponder over the thought that I may have just killed one of Alessa's executioners. I groan and put my hands on my face, "Why the hell did I do that…I could have just ran…it's not like they can run fast…" I say, thinking maybe that one could have been able to move faster than Pyramid since its weapon didn't look too extremely heavy.

A sudden loud pound against the door basically makes me jump out of my skin as I look at the door, grabbing a knife from under my pillow, I point the knife at the door in my hands, thinking that it might be that one executioner I tried to kill that must have found me and is out for revenge, "Go away! Leave me alone!"

Another slam at the door makes it come open, revealing Pyramid as he enters the room, making me lower my weapon and smile at him as I get up off the bed, seeing the food in his arm. I freeze as the other executioner enters the room, my smile fades.

'Don't worry Hecate, he will not hurt you, he is sorry for scaring you.' Pyramid says to me as his helmet turns to face the other executioner, as the executioner then nods, having heard Pyramid's statement as well.

Pyramid approaches me and hands me my apples and one of my cans of soup, I take them and place them on the bed. The other executioner approaches me slowly and hands me my other can of soup as well as 2 new hardboiled eggs from the fridge. I smile and take them and sit on the bed and clean off one of the apples and begin to eat it.

'I am sorry for not responding to you, I was unaware of your name and significance to our creator.' The other executioner says as he lowers his helmet.

I smile, "It's ok, im sorry for stabbing you with your weapon, sir."

He then raises his helmet, I look over both of them as I eat, noticing all the fresh wounds on Pyramid, and the rapidly healing puncture wound in the other creature's abdomen. I frown while looking at Pyramid, "Sit down. On the bed."

'Hecate, my wounds are not severe. There is no need to look-'

"SIT!" I say, cutting him off. He lets out a groan and sits on the bed. I move behind him and look over his bleeding back, chest and shoulders. Anger rises in me, "Why the hell is that demon harming you so much. What the hell does she make you guys do?!" I say, looking at Pyramid and the other executioner.

'The demon claims that the labor is mandatory, although in reality it is not. Instead it is entertainment for the creature to watch our suffering.' The other executioner says.

I let out a growl, looking over Pyramid's deep wounds on his body that seem to have been made by a blade of some sort. I have tried to intervene many times and have confronted the demon about the fact I am not a fan of what she is doing to these creatures of Alessa's, but the outcome is always the same as she tells me I am not in control and she uses Alessa's name as her own, giving the real Alessa a horrible name. She uses Alessa's name as her own when she confronts humans who have become lost here, which leads the surviving humans that do not end up dead to join the Order to fight against 'Alessa', fueling the Order's belief that she is evil and a demon.

"You creatures suffer enough with your helmets and the weapons you are required to carry around with you…you guys don't need unnecessary slave labor along with it."

'I respect you, Hecate.' The other executioner says.

I smile, "Thank you, what is your name again?"

'Alessa used to call me Boogeyman, for some reason. You can call me that.'

"Ohhh!" My eyes widen, "You are Boogeyman from Shepherd's Glen?"

He nods, 'You are familiar with me?'

"Yes, when Alessa was alive, she told me about you and White Hunter, since I hadn't met either of you at that time."

He nods again, I throw the stem and center of the apple into a bin in the room, which is used for trash, I then grab one of the hardboiled eggs and peel it.

"Have you guys ever eaten one of these before?" I ask them.

Both of them seem to move their helmets as if their attention is on the egg, they both let out a hissing sound.

'Smells like something that wont taste good…' Boogeyman says.

'I agree.' Pyramid says.

I sniff the egg, not smelling anything different from a normal hardboiled egg, "I don't know what you guys are smelling, but it smells normal to me."

'Is it some kind of meat?' Pyramid asks.

"No, not really…do you guys know what chickens are?"

Both of them remain silent.

"I guess that's a no…well…its something that an animal grows out of, but these don't have the animal in it because they weren't fertilized."

'So, it is like some kind of dead baby or something?' Pyramid asks.

"Uhh…kind of…? Just try it."

Pyramid moves away from me, Boogeyman also backs away from me.

"Oh come on guys…" I say as I bite into it, tasting nothing wrong with it at all, I smile. "See? It tastes good to me."

Both of their helmets are pointed at the egg, seeming interested in the yolk inside it.

'What is that yellow thing?' Boogeyman says.

"It's the yolk. That is what a baby chicken would absorb into its stomach to feed itself while it grew. Its food."

Both of them seem to be trying to smell the scent of it, even after catching the scent of the yolk, neither seem interested.

"Come on guys, try it." I move the egg towards Pyramid, who moves away from it as if it is repelling him or going to kill him. "Oh come on Pyramid, its not that bad." I say, offering it to him again, "Please try it, for me?"

He remains silent for a minute, lets out a groan and moves back over to me, his long slender tongue appears out from the small opening under his helmet and wraps around the egg in my hand, holding the egg it pulls the egg underneath his helmet and into his mouth, Boogeyman's helmet facing him as his attention is completely on Pyramid as he waits for a reaction from him. Immediately Pyramid's head moves forward as he moves off the bed and bits of chewed up egg get expelled from the opening of his helmet as he makes sounds of disgust, he didn't throw it up, he only spit it out.

"Oh come on Pyramid, its not that bad! Really? You are a baby." I say as I peel the other one then offer it to Boogeyman, who immediately shakes his head.

"Come onnnn, please try it. You might like it, since you came from a human and Pyramid didn't.

'I don't want to try it…' He says.

"Oh come on, at least lick it or something."

Boogeyman's helmet turns towards Pyramid, then back at me as he slowly approaches me. His long slender tongue appears from under his helmet as he slowly licks it and immediately withdrawals his tongue, shaking his head.

'Please don't make me try more. It tastes unpleasant…' Boogeyman says.

"You guys are babies…maybe you guys do only like meat."I say as I eat the egg.

"I wonder if Valtiel will tolerate it better than you guys do."
