Unwanted Visitor

(slightly more serious chapter)

Merkova walked right into Xipe Totec's part of the labyrinth. She walked with a purpose. The cenobite was tall for a female and wore the revealing leather outfit females often wore. Her head was bald save for a Mohawk hairstyle right down the center. Her feet were replaced by horse hooves which did nothing to impare her walking whatsoever. Her face was the most disturbing. Where she would have a normal face she had the snout of a horse skull. Grinning (it looked like she was always grinning) she walked right towards Female and the other two cenobites.

Instinctivly the others stood on guard at the ready. Chatterbeast stood next to Female and growled low in his throat. Merkova just shook her head and laughed. "Please. don't tell me you are going to set your hound on me." she chuckled. "Female's eyes narrowed. "What do you want Merkova? Need I remind you that you are in OUR territory." she asked. Merkova's eyes narrowed. Being spoken to like this was not something Merkova took kindly. "Watch yourself Nikkoleta. You just watch yourself. My business isn't with you. Its with….what is that smell?" Merkova suddenly asked.

The other cenobites glanced around. They were thankful that Kirsty had gotten herself and her son out of here. If they had not then Merkova would have killed them both. "What is your business her Merkova?" Female asked again sounding angry. Merkova's eyes narrowed. She was getting pissed off. "You have no respect Nikkoleta. That may have worked when you were human…but it does not work with me. I warn you for the last time WATCH HOW YOU FUCKING SPEAK!" she snarled taking a menacing step to the female cenobite. The other cenobites rushed forward to aid Female in the upcoming fight.

Merkova was at the ready and would have fought all 3 cenobites had not Pinhead returned. "So Merkova…what is it I can help you with…surely you are not threatening members of my gash being as it seems as If yours is not with you at this moment." Pinhead commented calmly. Merkova backed off. She could not win a fight against Pinhead himself. Her eyes narrowed slightly and she growled. "I smell human stench here. Since when do you have humans as 'pets?' Merkova asked.

Pinhead stared at her. "What I keep as pets is of no concern of yours Merkova. Now I give you the chance to leave peacefully. And in the future you will NOT threaten ANY member of my gash or those in my company." Merkova growled softly and went to walk away. Female couldn't resist. "You have a lovely day now Merkova…tell your human lover I said hello." Merkova whirled around suddenly glaring at Female with unbridled hatred. Female was just one step above humans as far as Merkova was concerned. "You'll get yours soon enough Xipe. Starting with Female and your human pets." Merkova nearly shrieked before leaving. Pinhead said nothing and kept his eyes cold and empty while he watched her leave.

He was glad Kirsty and their son made it out safely. He was strangely beginning to feel an attatchment to the two.

You know why Merkova hates you don't you as well as most anyone else? Butterball asked solemnly. Pinhead nodded. He knew very well why Merkova hated him and in a way he wished he could take it all back.
