Heya Friends!
Again I am sorry for the late upload, but things have calmed down as I've now moved into my new house which is amazing! I'm settling in nicely and I've got plans to decorate my bedroom and do up my new garden ready for the summer!
Hopefully now I'm more settled I may be able to update more often, that is if the block don't hit me! lol!
Anyway, happy reading!
Chapter Fourteen
Following you!
Earlier that evening, Diablo was flying as fast as he could from Devina and Heather.
"You'll tire out eventually Raven!" Heather shouted "Give up whilst you still can!"
"Never!" Diablo shouted back as he flew a little higher to avoid Devina who took a swipe at him as she got closer.
"What the devil are you?" he cried as he cawed in shock as Devina swiped at him again.
Devina just growled and continued to keep chasing him.
"Tyroth told me about you!" she said "He told me of your crimes to Mutopia! And your betrayal! You will be taken back for trial and prosecution!"
Diablo sneered.
"That damn Dragon!" he hissed "You'll never take me alive!" he flew higher as he spoke avoiding yet another swipe from Devina.
"Catch me if you can!"
Heather glared and flew faster then cursed as she saw Diablo do a leap over her and Devina's heads then dive into a dark alleyway!
"You can run, but you can't hide!" Devina shouted "I got your scent!"
As Diablo dived into the alleyway, he felt worried as he had seen what Devina could do, and even though he still had no idea what she was, he could tell she was a powerful creature and if she could smell him, like she claimed, he wouldn't be able to escape.
If only there was a way he could head them off or at least find a place where he could hide and they couldn't track him.
He cawed as he saw Heather and Devina appear again as they followed him down into the alleyway and he continued to fly on.
He soon saw a light ahead that looked like a fire and he saw in the lights four homeless men gathered around trying to keep warm.
Turning his head back to smirk at the Dragonfly and Vampiress, he flew faster and cawed loudly to which the homeless men looked up in shock and they looked over to see Diablo flying towards them!
"What the hell!?" one of the men cried out.
"MONSTER?" shouted another.
"It's a demon!" the third shouted.
"DUCK!" the fourth shouted as Diablo flew over their heads, his taloned foot hitting the firey bin making it topple over and sent up flames making the Homeless Men quickly scramble away to avoid the hot coals and ashes and Devina and Heather stop for a second to avoid getting burnt.
"Damnnit!" Heather cursed as she pulled Devina upwards before the homeless men could recover and spot them.
At the same time, Diablo flew to the end of the alleyway which lead to a busy road!
As he flew out a large truck appeared and he almost got splattered on the windscreen! Cawing in shock, Diablo flew upwards but the truck swerved as it's shocked driver tried to avoid him and it crashed into a van travelling in the opposite direction!
As well as that, some cars also tried to avoid the crash and ended up getting rear ended and soon there was a tangle of vehicles as well as shocked passers by wondering what had happened.
Diablo meanwhile flew to the other side of the road before anyone else saw him and quickly hid in the darkness, the shouts of people as well as the honking of car horns ringing in his ears. As he tried to get his breath back, he wondered if he could find Samson and Rex and also whether because of the commotion he had caused whether Heather and Devina would continue to try and find him.
He wasn't wrong about the latter as Devina and Heather had flown upwards to avoid being spotted by the homeless men and were observing the accident Diablo had caused.
"Damn that Raven!" Devina growled as she looked down at the commotion.
"I hope no-one's hurt." Heather said "Hugh's going to have this on his report tonight!"
"Without a doubt!" Devina agreed "I don't see any serious casualties, but there are some shocked people, as well as angry ones."
Heather agreed.
"Come on." she said "We have to find Diablo before he does anything else, I wonder how the others are doing with the Panther and Doberman?"
"Guess we'll find out as soon as he catch that tratior!" Devina replied as she flew on ahead, "I can smell that creature a mile off!"
Heather followed Devina as the Vampiress lead them to the other side where Diablo had flown to and they looked around.
"I can smell him!" Devina said "He's close!"
Heather looked around then she saw a shape run around the corner!
"There!" she shouted then ran after the shape then saw it run through a door! Devina quickly followed close behind.
"Diablo!" Heather shouted as she saw the door "It's no good hiding in there! You've just gotten yourself cornered!"
She instantly ran inside, Devina following close behind, yet as she did, she felt something cold and soft bump against her in the darkness making her feel repulsed and wonder what it was.
"The hell?" she looked around then saw the open door behind her where the street lamps let some light within, then saw the same shape appear in the doorway showing it to be Diablo.
"Hey!" she shouted turning to go after him, but before she and Devina could move, Diabo smirked then stepped outside before slamming the door and plunging the room into darkness!
Heather screamed and Devina roared in shock then they heard Diablo's cawing laughter then heard him fly away.
"You fucking dick!" Heather shouted "You cowardly turkey!" she then yelped as she felt the same soft cold object bump into her again.
"Where are we?" she demanded "Where's the fucking light?"
"Hang on!" Devina then created a ball of light in her hand and soon the Dragonfly and Vampiress realised where they were, and it wasn't pretty!
"An abattoir!" Heather screamed as she saw several carcasses of pigs and cows hanging from hooks in the ceiling, some gutted and bloody and some not yet cut open and she felt sick.
"We're in a bloody slaughter house!" Heather shouted "We gotta get out of here!"
"Heather calm down!" Devina tried to soothe yet Heather could feel herself starting to have a panic attack.
"Get me out of here!" she screamed "Get me out of this dead house!"
Devina grabbed Heather's shoulders and again tried to calm her down.
"Calm down Heather!" she said "Pull yourself together! You're not making this easier for us!"
"Shut up!" Heather shouted "You should be right at home here..."
She then recoiled as Devina's hand collided with her cheek and she felt herself get snapped back to reality.
"Sorry!" Devina said making the Dragonfly look at her "But you need to calm down! We're not going to achieve anything if you panic! We'll get out! There's got to be another way out of this place!"
Heather stared at Devina, yet she nodded as tears formed in her eyes.
"It's going to be okay." Devina said "There's got to be a way out of here! Or I'll make it so we get out!" she held up her ball of light and looked towards the door were Diablo had run out of before locking them in.
It was a large metal door, and Devina glared.
"I'll try and get us out this way!" she said "You try and find another way out!"
Heather nodded and grimacing at walking through the corpses of pigs and cows she tried to find another way out.
If they were in an abattoir, they had to be in some sort of Butcher's Shop and if that was the case, maybe there was a door leading to the shop itself.
Whilst Heather searched for a door leading to the shop, Devina tried to analyse the door, wondering if she could break it down or pick at the lock.
She picked up her cell and wondered if she could track the others or send out a distress signal.
"How you doing back there Heather?" she called.
"I don't know!" Heather called back as she tried to get past the many bodies of pigs and cows to look for another door "There's got to be another way out of here! I can't stand being in this dead place!"
Devina growled and kept analysing the door, cursing Diablo over and over. She wasn't sure how long she was studying it but she soon felt her cell buzz and she saw the beacons of Sephie, Sarah and Percy were nearby.
"Devina? Heather?!" she soon heard, thanks to her acute Vampire hearing, that Sephie was outside.
"Oh thank goodness!" she thought "Sephie!" she shouted "We're in here! We're in here!"
Heather also heard Devina shouting out Sephie's name and relief washed over here.
"We're in here!" she shouted "Can you hear us?!"
Devina shouted again and pressed her ear close to the door wondering if Sephie could hear her back.
Then before long she heard a door open on the other side of the room then Percy's voice call through.
"Anyone home?"
"PERCY!" the Vampiress heard Heather shriek "Oh man! Am I glad to see you!"
Devina turned away from the door and fought her way through the carcasses to find the Grasshopper who was standing in a doorway looking disgusted.
"Jeez Marie!" he said "How did you two end up in here?"
He soon felt the breath get knocked out of him as Heather hugged him tightly.
"Whoa!" Percy hugged Heather back "That's twice I've been hugged by girls!" he chuckled to himself.
Leading both Heather and Devina through the door he lead them through into a butcher's shop where Sephie and Sarah were waiting.
"What happened to you?" Sephie asked "How did you both end up in here?"
"Diablo! That's who!" Heather snarled.
"We chased him here, he caused an accident on the road back there!" Devina added pointing to where the accident had occurred "And then he lead us in here and locked us in!"
"Damn that Raven!" Sephie growled "He lead you in here so you couldn't follow him!"
"Exactly!" Heather said "And into a slaughter house!"
"How did you lot fair?" Devina asked.
Percy glowered and Sarah swallowed before Sephie explained what had happened to which both devina and Heather gasped when they heard how Diablo had grabbed Sarah then dropped her from a height.
"He did that!?" Devina asked "He could have killed Sarah!"
"If I hadn't caught her!" Percy said "But I did luckily!"
Sarah nodded.
"I wonder how Jack and Kate are doing?" Heather asked.
"I got no idea!" Sephie said "They were chasing the other mutant! The Doberman!"
"That's the other thing!" Percy said "Remember the Bouncer and the Homeless soldier who went missing the other night?"
Heather and Devina nodded.
"You don't suppose?" Heather asked.
"Those two other mutants are them?" Devina asked.
Sephie was about to reply when her cell rang and she saw it was Tyroth and she quickly snatched it up.
"Hun?"
"Hey babe!" Tyroth said "Amber and I got Sharky to James, he's been given the Water and his convulsions have stopped, yet he's really traumatised."
"Poor Sharky!" Sephie said.
"Yeah." Tyroth agreed "That damned Raven! I'll kill him! How are you lot doing."
"We chased the Panther, and we almost caught him!"
"Almost?" they heard Tyroth say "You mean he got away?"
"Yeah, Diablo arrived and fought us letting him escape!" Sephie said "Myself, Sarah, Percy, Heather and Devina are gathered here, but no word from Kate and Jack who were chasing the Doberman."
"Dammit!" Tyroth cursed "Listen Hun, check in on Kate and Jack, see where they're at and let me know your location! Amber and I are on the way!"
"Okay hun!" Sephie said before hanging up and turning to the others "Come on, lets look for Kate and Jack!"
The others agreed and got ready to move out.
So Diablo had lead Devina and Heather into a Slaughter House! Not pleasant! But at least they were found by their allies before the humans did.
Diablo is certainly a trickster! Damn that Raven! Seems to be a recurring phrase for Diablo now! lol!
Check back soon for more!
