Chapter 12: Wonders and Questioning
*Faint Tweeting*
The sounds of faint tweeting-like noises made the demon's ears twitch slightly, then stir as he flutters his eyes open in awakening from sleep.
'' ... *Yawn*! ''
The boy froze from that unexpected noise which came... From him, AGAIN! The demon started to feel scared and confused again, and just before he could do anything else. A certain glow caught his eye and looks down to see the glowing rock-like thing in his hands, which felt cold... In a sort of... Pleasant way in a way he couldn't, describe.
Then another light caught his eye which made him see that it was coming through the cave's entrance. Slowly back-up to his feet, the young demon walked towards the light, goes through it and now finds himself outside the cave, and into the morning's sunlight. The boy was amazed to see how what used to be a creepy and terrifying-looking place... Is now a bright and pretty-looking little forest, with a few animals such as a few rabbits and birds going about.
Whilst the demon boy was eyeing the scenery before him...
*Ribbet*
The demon looked down and was surprised to see a small green frog near his feet, looking up at him with its small black-beady eyes.
*Croak*
A mixture of wonder and awe shone in the boy's eyes, and just as he was about to touch it with his hand... The frog suddenly LEAPT UP, and hopped-off as it left the young demon startled for the moment, before switching to a pleading-pursuit after the small green frog. Desperate to find it, and to perhaps... Become friends with it.
So caught-up with trying to reach the frog, the boy didn't notice the small-branch in his path and... With his foot caught.
" Ooof! ''
*Splash!*
PURE wetness collided with his whole face, making it strangely hard to breath through his mouth and nose. He then lifts his face up from the liquid, sits on his knees and wipes his face with his hands to get it dry. He then sees that he had fallen face-first into a small stream which flowed gently, and prettily, and saw very tiny fish in it too.
This made the boy very curious as he looks into the stream, but once he did so... He was SHOCKED to see not ONLY fish, but a strange-looking creature looking up at him through the stream.
* M-mmm?! ''
The boy quickly pulled back in fear from seeing that... That... Thing, in the water, and after a few seconds of silence. The demon hestintly, but surely looks into the stream again, and sees the thing again, and with full examination... He now sees that this thing... Didn't look so scary.
The thing had skin as pure as white snow, hair as black as dark with white streaks at the tips with... Animal-looking ears which appeared to be that of a wolf's. The thing's eyes were also not scary... Black sclera with pure white pupils, which held curiosity, awe and... Innocence in them. The boy was so amazed with this creature that he began to slowly, ever so slowly... Reached a single hand towards it, whilst it AMAZINGLY did the same towards him!
Just as the demon was close to touching its face... The creature "disappeared" as it went away in ripples, making the boy feel confused and sad now that he was alone again. Until...
*Rebbit*
The demon turned to his side and sees the little green frog with him again, on top of the glowing rock which he'd dropped whilst he accidently fell into the stream. Seeing the frog again made the boy feel... A pleasant feeling from within, somewhere, as he lowered himself to the frogs level to see eye-to-eye and once he did. The frog leapt up from the rock and perched itself on top of his head.
The boy blinks in surprise from this sudden-move, slowly reels back onto his knees so not to scare the frog, and then gently lifts it from its head and looks at it at slight-distance from his face.
*Rebbit*
The boy didn't know how, or exactly why but... He now feels something, something radiating within himself, something warm and... Lovely. Slowly, slowly but truly... The demon's mouth curled upwards and into... A smile, a sweet and happy little smile.
" H... Heh-Heheh ''
As noises then start to come out of him but this time... These noises didn't really, scare or worry him as much now, for some odd reason. For these little noises sounded, happy and nice to the demon. So with that, the demon continues making them noises whilst the little frog just looks at him, whilst rebating away casually.
(The Otherworld)
" Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! I can't WAIT to find that little winged-brat! ''
Wulfric thought excitedly to himself, an excited wolfish-grin on his face whilst walking in the cave's hallway to its exit.
" Once I find him I'm gonna make him regret to ever, EVER mess with Wulfric the werewolf! I'll rip him, beat him and punch him till he's all black an' blue. ''
'' ... Hm? ''
Wulfric halts to a stop as he then just noticed a passage to his right, which was an entry to Thanatos's room. With a sneaky-streak now arising, the wolf smirks to himself as he goes into the passage and once he got to the other end of it, he stops at the entry-way... And sees the teen vampire in question sitting on his single-bed, brushing his long light-grey hair tenderly whilst he wore a peaceful face.
Wulfric couldn't help but let a bit of a chortle out. He just couldn't believe that this male vampire had the mannerisms of a COMPLETE woman! It would've been better off if he was born a female and not a male. Although, sometimes... The werewolf questioned to himself if Thanatos, were perhaps, a... "That" kind of person, like that little wimpy vampire Marco.
'' I wonder if he's like that dork red-headed vampire Marco? Drag-bat sure does display a lot of affection to the guy, in a... Sick kind of way. I wonder if he's got a, "thing" for him? ''
Wulfric was soon brought out of his questioning-thoughts, when he hears a satisfied voice.
'' Ah, that's much better. My hair looks clean and much fresher now... Especially coconut-scented, hehehe~ ''
Thanatos smiled to himself as he puts his hairbrush down beside him, then picks up a hand-held mirror which was created by WitchyLina, so the vampire could see his reflection. Than smiles at his reflection as he touched his smooth-pale face.
'' Than my boy, you're lookin' as handsome and bad as ever. Although... ''
An un-characteristic mood takes over the vampire's happy mood now, as a sad smile now wore itself onto his lips. He then uttered lowly to his reflection.
'' My outer-self is of power and perfection. But, whilst my inner-self... Isn't so... Is not... ''
The wolf's ears perked up with interest as he got curious now with the vampire's, sudden and unexpected... Never seen before mood. Only for that mood to immediately dissolve as Thanatos now cried in a bit of dismay.
'' What am I doing? I'm haven't applied my facial-wear yet! Man, I almost forgot 'bout that important bit. ''
Thanatos pulled out a small make-up kit from beneath his bed, opens up the lid and takes out a black eyeliner pencil to start with. Whilst still paying no heed to the wolf in the background, who now wore a look of mixed-up disgust and boredom.
" Bha... There wasn't anything juicy there. Just some ol' he-she mood-swing. Whatever, I'll just go back to my greatest job ever. ''
With that last thought, Wulfric turned and left the vampire to his devices and resumed back to his job... Of extermination.
(Hospital)
" Are you and Aria gonna be alright at school? ''
'' Don't worry Fatch, we'll both be ok. We're more concerned about you actually. ''
'' Aw.. ''
'Round morning, Fatch received a call from Thatch on his mobile to see how he was holding-up, which made the vampire kid feel happy that everyone was concerned, but guilty at the same-time.
'' Oh, there's Cappy's ship! We gotta go but we'll see you later ok? ''
'' That's alright. See you all soon! ''
Fatch hits the button on his phone and lets out a sigh as he fell back onto his pillow. He didn't really hospitals all that much, he just... Finds them boring, and... A bit frightening sometimes like if you need to get a serious operation, or getting an injection so not to get any illness or disease.
Fatch looked up at the ceiling boringly, as he thought to himself.
'' *Sigh*... I wish I wasn't here. If only I was with Thatch, Aria and the others at Scare School right now, where everything's fine and everyone's... Still here. ''
Fatch still couldn't keep his mind off Aquilo. He just HAS to know where the ice demon was, he just has to know if he was ok or not, and possibly... Wasn't DEAD right now!
'' Fatch...? ''
Fatch turns his head straight at the door whilst Reina opens it and once seeing the vampire, she smiles softly at him.
'' You're up, that's good! And I have some good news for you too. ''
Reina came up to side of Fatch's bed and tells him whilst she holds her examination board to her chest.
'' I went over your results and it all read fine as day. I'm quite impressed how you've made such a fast recovery. ''
Fatch looked at her wide-eyed as a smile appears on his face.
'' Really? D-Does that mean I can leave the hospital, yet? ''
Reina smiled sweetly at him as she replies.
'' Uh-huh. ''
'' Sweet! ''
'' But you can't go quite yet 'cause your brother, Dusk, called-in the hospital to see how you and Marco were doing. Once I told him of your results he said he'll be right over here in a jiffy. ''
All excitement soon turned into remembrance and... A small-gnawing bad feeling, of concern for his older brother. Reina too noticed the child's small frown as she asked with concern.
'' You alright sweet? I thought this would make you happy. ''
'' O-Oh it did! I just, remembered my brother Marco there. ''
Fatch looks up at her as he asked.
'' How about him? How is Marco doing? ''
A small frown of uncertainty sew itself onto the doctor's face, as she begins to answer him.
'' Well, you see... ''
'' Doctor! ''
Startled, both Reina and Fatch turned their sights to the door and were shocked to see a slightly-chubby, young black-haired nurse standing there, panting a little to catch her breath.
'' Ugh... It's, bad... Uh. ''
'' Calm yourself, what's going on? ''
Reina asked as she walked over to the nurse and waited patiently for her answer, and when she did she explains a bit frantically.
'' One of our patients, Marco Ramirez, he's... He's, gone. ''
'' Gone?! ''
'' GONE?! ''
Both Reina and Fatch cried-out.
'' I was just going over to his room to see if he was awake yet, and ask him if he wanted something to eat, only... To find the room empty! All of his clothing's gone too. ''
Reina knew that this was a VERY bad situation. Where did Marco go to? Why did he even left in the first place?! Not wanting to waste time, Reina said to her nurse.
'' Go to the security room and check the camera's, and then call the police to keep an eye out for him. I'll call his family. ''
'' Right! ''
The nurse sprints on her heel to the security room, whilst Reina began to leave the room only to stop, glance at Fatch and gives him a small sad-smile as she softly said.
'' I'm really sorry about this. I promise we'll find him. ''
And Reina finally left Fatch alone in his room, gaping in shock and unbelief that Marco... Has just disappeared like that out of nowhere!
'' Marco... ? ''
All for now, that was quite shocking and suspenseful don't ya all think? =0 Wonder what'll happen next?
Stay tuned for next Ch. and as always, thanks for R:R ;)
