After he was done vomiting a few times, Cody was ready to go back home. Charlie and Vaggie just wanted to say goodbye for now before he would leave the mansion. "Listen Cody, it was so nice to meet you." said Vaggie. "And I know this probably wouldn't be the first time someone has said that about you, but... I think you're cute and really adorable." she knelt down and gave him a gentle, tender kiss on the forehead just to be affectionate. The other demons, including Charlie went "Ooh," at the sight of this, and Cody blushed after this. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself." Vaggie admitted. "I just wanted to do it for the sake of it."
"It's ok. You're not the only one to kiss me. Verosika did it to me a couple of times before. And I still hate her."
"Well don't dwell on her, kiddo." said Loona. "Thanks for watching him, Stolas, Octavia."
"Our pleasure, Loona." Octavia smiled. "Stay safe Cody,"
"And be careful out there." Stolas sang.
"I will guys. Bye." the kid promptly exited the main hall with Loona and the gang, and they were going down the long flight of stairs as they were going out. "So did Sheryl scream so much?"
"She sure did." Moxxie did.
"You should have seen her screaming for mercy." Millie added.
"No thanks," Cody admitted. "I think the head is good enough for me."
"Whatever floats your boat." said Tex. "And no one will ever suspect a thing about us. They'll just blame Mexico and it won't be our problem. Smooth sailing from here."
Cody smiled. "Good." They walked down more and more steps and as he heard some comments about how amazing that kill on Sheryl was, Cody felt his right foot bend over and he suddenly slipped on one of the steps and felt a sharp pain in his right ankle. He tumbled a few times, making the demons gasp in shock and Cody stopped as he exclaimed in pain. "Ow! Ow! Ow!"
Loona rushed to the kid's aid and knelt down and looked at him. "Cody what happened? Are you ok?"
"OW. I don't know. I think I twisted my ankle." Cody said before going like: "Ow, ow ow. Man it hurts." He felt like crying from the immense pain but he tried to hold it in himself and felt the throbbing of his ankle happen some more. "Did I break it?"
"Can you walk?" asked Moxxie
Cody then felt himself get back up with the help of Loona and let him go to see if Cody can still get on that foot. The kid gently places his foot on the step and he felt more pain come to him from that slip. "Ah!" he exclaimed. Despite that, he did manage to get his foot on the ground and tried to walk with it. Maybe it was just sprained and not broken.
"Here, let me see your foot, kiddo." Loona said
Cody then undid his shoe and his sock as he showed everyone his now swollen ankle. "ooh, that's a bad sprain." Blitzo said. "But it's not broken."
"It's not?"
"Nope, I've seen many broken foots, and if this was one, kid, it would look more bumpy than this."
"OK." Cody said. "But it still hurts."
"Here, I'll help you up." then Tex tried to gently pick him up and held him in his arms.
"Easy, easy." Cody grunted
"sorry. I'm sorry." said Tex. "I'm trying to be gentle."
"We'll get you home, Cody." said Loona. "Be careful, Tex."
"Don't worry, I can lift a bus or a train cart with this solid wall of muscle. Cody is like a twig or a leaf. Oh, not in a bad way, just saying." They all exited out of the manor with Cody still grunting in pain from his twisted ankle, and it was bad kind of pain, along with bumping one's elbow, knee, or stubbing a toe. Blitzo drove off as fast as he could, and Cody was place next to Loona, gently side-hugging him to keep him comfort and company
"I know it hurts, Cody." Loona said softly. "I know it hurts." It wasn't that long of a drive (mostly because of how Blitzo was driving like crazy in the van, and as soon as they all were back at the apartment building, the other demons, minus Loona and Blitzo headed back home, but not before telling Cody sorry his ankle was badly bruised and pulled like this, and that they would see him later. Cody, despite being in some more pain, smiled at Moxxie, Millie, and Vortex before he felt Loona gently pick him up like an infant like how he was carried by Loona when she first met him in the fire. "Ok, i'll set ya on the couch and I'll get ya a bag of ice to help with that ankle
"Oh it's so cute to see you so motherly, Loona." Blitzo couldn't help but say.
Loona growled and said: "How many times do I have to say it, Blitzo, I am not motherly!" she looked at Cody again, and sighed before adding: "But I do care about him."
"Alright. But when you're ready to talk about it, I'm here."
The hellhound just growled before carrying Cody inside and placed him gently on the couch. From the looks of Cody's face, it definitely hurt so much. He gently tended the sore ankle with his hands as he waited for the ice bag.
Loona came back like the swiftness of an arrow and gave Cody the ice bag. "Here you go."
"Thank you, Loona." the kid said very gratefully. As he pressed it against the ice pack on his ankle, he let out a sigh of relief and bliss. "Oh yeah, that feels so good." he laid back on the soda to relax as the ice wss slowly oozing the pain on his ankle.
"Good thing it's not broken." Loona said. She then made a frown before saying: "Wait, do you think you can walk after this?"
"I think so."
"Ah, I worry too much." the hellhound decided.
"Don't worry Loona, he's not four or five." Blitzo pointed.
"I know that, Blitzo." Loona scowled at him in annoyance. "I wasn't born yesterday."
"I know that better than anyone down here, Loony. Come on. Have i ever doubted you for a second?"
"Do I have to tell you the truth, non-dad." Loona said.
"Ok, ok. Sorry." Blitzo said.
"I'll be fine, Loona. That's nowhere near as bad to what Bruce will do to me the next time he sees me."
"Is he giving you trouble still?"
"He threw tomatoes at me three days ago."
"What?" Loona sounded shocked. Then anger grew in her. "That's it, that twerp and his twerp posse have gone too far this time." She cracked her knuckles and snarled like a wolf. "I am going to rip the testicles out of their scrotums, it will wake up their doctors when they scream. And it will be slow and painful in the worst way possible
"That's my girl!" Blitzo commended her.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Cody said. "I don't think that will be necessary. I can fight my own battles."
"Right." Loona said. "you gotta learn how to defend yourself somehow."
"Besides..." Cody added, "I got a better idea."
"What's better than painful castration?" asked Loona
"I will tell you." Cody said. "Come here." He whispered something into Loona's left ear something rather devious and sinister that it made Loona's eyes perk open and after more words, her face turned into an evil, sinister smile, highly reminiscent of the Grinch.
Finally, after Cody was done finishing his plan, Loona said: "Cody, I love your thinking. Might as well get a long hooded coat to make it even more scary."
"It will make them pee their pants." Cody looked excited. "They'll give me trouble at school tomorrow and I'll tell them to meet me at an abandoned house and you can show them how scary you can be."
"Sounds like a plan."
"Kid, you have some dark things in that little noggin of yours." Blitzo admitted, sounding concerned, but he happily exclaimed: "and I love you for it!"
The next day at school, Cody's ankle was still a little sore, but slightly better. He told Bruce and his mean cronies to come to the old house he wanted him to come to.
Despite wanting payback on Cody for having Loona attack him and his friends, Bruce accepted it because their wouldn't be any witnesses to see them beat him up.
Cody was already inside the old, ragged building and he could hardly wait to get these bullies to leave him alone forever.
"I can't wait to get rid of that son of a bitch." Bruce said. "Boys, it's our lucky day."
His cohorts laughed and agreed with him. "And I can't wait to shave his head off." Colby, one of his friends said. They all just barged in the door without even knocking.
There was Cody in the large foyer. "Ah, there you are." said Bruce.
Cody just had his arms crossed and didn't look scared so much.
"Playing it cool, huh? you're just scared." Bruce sneered.
"No. I'm not. You guys are just a bunch of turds."
"Oh that's it." before the bullies could set one foot at him, the lights went out and Cody disappeared when the lights came back on.
This time, the lights were not a regular color, but like a red color that was like blood in mist form, or equivalent of Hell. "What the?" Bruce said.
"I'm scared!" said one bully.
"Hold me!" another said
"Don't be a bunch of babies!" Bruce snapped. "get it together, it's obviously a trick. Come on out, Cody! Show yourself!"
It was rather steamy and the color and atmosphere were still red. The sound of thunder clapping was heard, making all the bullies scared, and it was only an overcast.
a door creaked open and a large, cloaked figure with a wolf-like snout appeared in the reddish atmosphere. She was snarling and breathing in a demonic or heavy growling sound.
"Who are you?" said Colby. He, his boss, and the other bullies were scared witless at the sight of this, but Bruce tried not to show weakness by pretending to be brave.
The figure slowly opened her mouth and began: "I am hunger," she slowly turned herself towards them and began walking towards them menacingly. "I am thirst." she was showing her teeth and looked rather angry. "Where I bite, I hold until I die, and even after death, they must cut out my mouthful from my preys' body, and bury it with me. I can fast for a hundred years and not die. I can lie a hundred nights on the ice, and not freeze." She was just about inches closer to them as her feet were stepping on the floor hard. The closer she was, the more the kids' hearts were beating. "I can drink a river of blood, and not burst." she then stopped being close enough to them. "Show... me... YOUR ENEMIES!!!" she roared that it echoed in the mansion while her cloaked unveiled her naked body (who's fur was covering Loona's... unmentionables."
"Aaaaaahhhhh!!!!" the kids and Bruce screamed at the top of their lungs. At last, with not a moment too soon, they all sprang through the door and tried to open it bur it was stuck. They saw Loona coming towards them in a maniacal frenzy like she was about to maul or bite them to pieces.
Finally, the door opened the last second and the kids all ran away while screaming. It was just then the lights flashed back to normal and Cody popped up from behind the old sofa, who was watching this the whole time." He was laughing and got it on video
Loona herself was laughing and felt so triumphant. "Cody this was genius!"
"I know!"
