Chapter eight: Alone in the nightmare factory
Chrno's heart was beating fast as he entered the building, inside it was cold, damp and smelt of wrongness in fact every thing seemed wrong it made Chrno shudder as he saw old chains swinging from the ceiling it reminded him of a medieval British dungeon he could imagine people hanging by the chains being whipped to death…
Chrno shook his head to try and forget about it. He went in further until he reached a wooden door and opened it and went inside, it was a bare corridor it had nothing in it… well that was till.
"Drip"
"Drip"
"Drip"
Chrno looked over his shoulder and then was suddenly met by a terrible stench that suddenly filled the room. Chrno recognized the smell it was the smell of rotten meat,
"Oh-no this can't be good" thought Chrno out loud as he ran through the corridor the further he went the stronger the stench.
Until it lead him to another door this was where the stench truly was coming from. Chrno gulped as he went to open the door one hand on the door knob and the other on his pistol…
It was quiet; to quiet for Rosettes liking what was taking him so long? Her arms hurt from holding the rifle for to long she had to put it down, she sighed.
"I hope Chrno's okay" she said as she put her hand on her cheek where Chrno has kissed it and blushing slightly
"I'm sure he is fine" replied Farther Remington
"Please lord make sure Chrno and Azmaria is safe" Rosette prayed before holding up her rifle once again.
The door swung open as quick as a flash Chrno took out his pistol and aimed half expecting an attack but it never came. Chrno was surprised, where were they hiding? The room was dark and Chrno could only hear the sound of something swinging above him also the same dripping sound he heard earlier.
"Drip"
"Drip"
"Drip"
Chrno thought that it might be safe to enter the room as he did so the smell of rotten meat was overpowering, he looked all around him and as his eyes got used to the dark what he found truly was hair rising as he found about ten pigs carcasses hanging from chains swinging to side to side.
"This is disgusting who would do such a thing" thought Chrno out loud as he took a step further to look at the carcass as he herd it whimper…hang on…whimper how can it whimper when its already dead,
After a while he realised it wasn't coming from the carcass it was coming from the left hand side Chrno turned only to see a young looking girl with white hair and red eyes wearing a white dress and bare foot she was shaking in a corner while looking at Chrno with big red eyes. Chrno could tell she was scared.
"This must be Azmaria, she looks afraid I better be careful" thought Chrno
He took a step towards Azmaria, she gave a little whimper and tried to tuck her head into her arms Chrno could fell her unease.
"Please, don't be scared I'm here to rescue you, you know to take you home, where you'll be safe" said Chrno in a calm voice
"I…I don't have a home" Whimpered Azmaria
"Don't worry about that we have found you a place where you'll be safe in the order have you herd of us" asked Chrno now he was right next to Azmaria and held out his hand
"Yes, yes I have" replied the young girl in a shaky tone
"I have a whole team of us out side surrounding this building right at this minuet, do you want to come with me so you could meet them this nightmare will be no more" explained Chrno
"Y…you mean if I go with you this scary dream will go away?" asked Azmaria
Chrno nodded and held out his hand again Azmaria grabbed hold of his hand her skin felt soft but cold.
Chrno pulled her to her feet and smiled "Come on this way"
Azmaria nodded and followed him they left the room but yet again Chrno felt uneasy this had been easy…to easy and Chrno didn't like it.
He narrowed his eyes as he stopped in the corridor something felt wrong like some thing was watching him like from long ago.
"What is it" asked Azmaria
But Chrno silenced her with his hand this was wrong.
"Just keep walking" said Chrno as he gripped the girl's hand and pulling her along
CRACK
Just like that that the floor split in two Chrno was on one side while Azmaria was on the other.
"So the fish took the bait" laughed a voice that Chrno knew all to well
It was him the one that used him
"Aion!" growled Chrno
"Nice to see you buddy old pal how was it at the order" Aion asked with a cold voice
Chrno growled he knew it was all too good to be true…
