Chapter 4: The Excitement of Fear
The giant creature entered the room, dragging his blade behind him.
"Hello…" Hecate says to him.
He does not respond.
Looking over at Alessa, Hecate whispers as if thinking the creature cannot hear her, "…can he speak…?"
"Yes, he prefers not speaking though." She whispers back, though she knows he can hear, she is only humoring the girl.
Nodding, Hecate understands as her eyes lock on the huge creature once again.
"Oh!" She blurts out, remembering the food as she grabs his plate off the table and presents it to him, thankful the plates and food came through to the Otherworld with them. She watches him, face red with blush as she watches.
Would he not know what it is? Surely he knows food… She thinks to herself.
The Executioner then turns to face Alessa, as if wanting her opinion on this situation.
'Take it, she will be happy.' Alessa says to him.
'What am I supposed to do with it?'
'What do you think? It is food, so eat it!' her voice yells into his mind, he then takes the plate and moves into a separate room, out of sight. This is so he doesn't disturb or startle the human with the way he eats.
Turning around, satisfied that he took her offering, Hecate widens her eyes to discover Alessa is nowhere to be found.
She must have left… She thinks to herself.
Looking around, the then spots the giant sword of his, the Great Knife as it stands where he was before he left, stabbed into the floor standing.
God, that thing is massive, how on Earth can he possibly carry that? No wonder he drags it…
Looking over it a little closer, she observes the fine sharp blade of it. Slowly she glides her finger along the edge of the blade.
Just as her finger makes contact with it, a strong hand clamps onto her shoulder as she is whipped around to face the owner of the giant weapon, who has a vibe coming off him that says he is not happy.
The hand then grabs her wrist of the same hand which touched his weapon and holds her finger in front of Hecate's face, showing her what she had just done to herself as a result.
She watches as blood runs out of a fairly deep slice in her finger.
"…I didn't even feel it cut me…"
The Executioner then grabs ahold of part of her shirt, causing her to yelp at the roughness, also in surprise as he rips part of it.
He then wraps the cloth tightly around her finger, using the pressure to stop the bleeding.
Looking over her wrapped finger, she becomes confused. Why is he being so nice…? Besides the rough grabbing just now…
Executioner's POV
Facing towards the human female, my senses don't pick up anymore blood that may be escaping her body.
I am positive the presence of fresh blood must have attracted the attention of other creatures nearby, leaving me with no choice but to scout out the area.
Grabbing onto my weapon, I yank it out of the ground as I turn and head for the exit.
"…hey wait! Where are you going? Don't leave me alone…" The human says, fear laced in her words.
Ah, the sound of fear…the sense of fear, how I have missed its presence in the beings in which I slaughter. I would love to have the freedom to torture this small, weak, vulnerable young human until she screams out in pain and fear as my figure stands before her.
So small, so vulnerable to me…I could easily snap her in half if I could, yet I have been ordered by my creator not to do such actions towards this small, pathetic creature.
Turning to face the small human, I do not respond, yet she stands there, waiting. Suddenly she speaks up.
"…Can I go with you…? Please…? I…don't want to be here alone."
Facing the floor now, I remember what Alessa said about not letting this human out of my presence, which means I cannot leave her. So, if I take her with me, I wouldn't be going against her rules. Yet I would be putting her in danger, though I am positive I will be able to protect this human fairly easily.
Slowly I nod as she smiles.
"But first I need to eat quick." She says, sitting down as she begins to eat.
I don't have time for this, but I have no choice but to wait.
