Silent Song of Death ~ Rebirth
Chapter 4 – The Worm, The Witch & The Mall.
Major fight time!
"Fuck, that man-bitch was crazier than that detective woman we ran into earlier" Puck says struggling to get up.
"Wished I'd listened to her instead now" Blaine mumbles helping Puck off the ground.
"He must've done some crazy voodoo shit on us" Puck says rubbing his eyes.
"Let go after him" Blaine massaging the side of his temples.
"Seriously Blaine? The dude just stared at us and it hurt. A Lot!" Puck says trying to reason Blaine out of it"
"I want to know what he means! All that babble, I don't know either way Puck I'm going, You can say here if you want" Blaine says walking in the direction Kurt went.
"Hey wait up…" Puck sighs chasing after Blaine.
The two walk down the corridor that Kurt went coming to an elevator at the end. They get inside the cramped elevator. As if it had a mind of its own the elevator sprang to life and started to move. After a few seconds there was noise and the elevator shook slightly. Blaine grabs onto Puck and then the noise and the shaking stop. It was quiet until something dropped behind them, making them jump.
"A radio?" Puck says picking the object up off the ground.
"I think it's broken because all its doing is giving off static." Blaine comments examining the radio in Puck's hand.
"Should we leave it?" Puck asks.
"No. Bring it along. It could come in handy later on. Just that static is annoying" Blaine says trying to turn off the radio, he sighs in defeat when the thing continues to emit the annoying noise.
The elevator come's a sudden stop. The doors open revealing nothing but darkness. Curious the boys step out into the darkness and Blaine grips onto Puck's hand when a moaning noise is heard. Suddenly the area around them lights up. A monster is seen staring in at the boys holding in one of its hands another monster that is gasping for breath. The sight of this causes Blaine to scream.
"Is this a dream?" Blaine shouts gripping Puck's hand even tighter.
"No… Blaine. You're breaking my hand here" Puck says wincing and he wasn't sure was he wincing at the pain Blaine was causing him or the sight before them.
"It has to be" Blaine says choosing to ignore Puck.
The door behind shuts closed and metal bars come down in its place. The boys look at the bars in terror and to their shock they sees there in another elevator as it starts to descend. Blaine and Puck back right up against the metal bars when the monster that's still alive bangs on the roof of the elevator.
"Not even a kid could believe in this!" Blaine says looking at the monster lying casually on the roof of the elevator.
The elevator jerks slightly when it passes a fan, they didn't see it for long but both boys could make out the shape of a person with triangular shaped head. There's another noise and the moster above them disappears out of sight.
"If this is a dream. When are we going to wake up?" Puck questions sinking to the floor with Blaine. One thing Puck notices, the radio stopped emitting static after those creatures left their presence.
The elevator came to a stop. The minute the doors opened, Blaine got that feeling again, like he was being drawn somewhere, he grabs a hold of Puck and rushes out following his gut instinct. Puck not wanting to be left behind, easily let Blaine take the lead, but he was very confused to what Blaine was doing. After killing two of those dog like monsters along the way, they go into a room. Puck examines a radio while Blaine makes a beeline for the symbol over on the table.
"Hmm. Everytime there's a monster close, this thing goes mad. Blaine have you noticed that?" Puck asks a distracted Blaine.
"Blaine?" Puck asks again walking over to Blaine.
"It's like a magic circle I remember reading about in a book on black magic. Does it seem so familiar because I read about it in that book?" Blaine asks himself, forgetting that Puck was with him.
"No, that's not it… It's not the book… It's from the altar….." Blaine says trailing off.
"Eh Blaine?" Puck asks again but gets no response from the boy.
"Altar? What am I thinking?" Blaine asks himself again.
A red flash of light envelopes Blaine's vision and quickly disappears.
"Dude you still there?" Puck asks worriedly.
"Hmm what?" Blaine replies.
"Oh good your all right. You spaced out there for a second" Puck explains.
"Oh ok, lets go then" Blaine says leaving the room with a confused Puck.
Puck and Blaine stop and catch their breaths as they get into the room unscathed. They'd just run past several Closer monsters. All in a very bloodthirsty mood, some even attacking each other to satisfy its own bloodlust. Blaine sees two flash lights and goes over to get them while Puck peeks out to see that the creatures are gone.
"Here" Blaine says tossing Puck one of the flashlights.
Puck turns his on and places it in his jeans pocket but left enough of it showing so it could shine out. Blaine had his in his cardigan's breast pocket. The boys raided the room, finding some more handgun bullets, a first aid kit and a clothes hanger before they decided to venture back out into the mall, which had taken on a weird appearance since the elevator ride. Everything was dark and rusty coloured red. The rust on the walls seemed to have formed vein like structures. Some of the windows around the wall had even rusted barbed wire around them.
"Let's try that room with the ladder we passed out earlier, you know the one we couldn't reach. I think we could get it with that hanger." Puck suggests.
After navigating around the twisted version of the mall that the boys deemed 'Otherworld', many monster kills and weird magic symbols that seemed familiar to Blaine later, the boys had arrived into a very large room. Most of the floor was gone except for a path leading to a ladder going down. They climb down the long ladder and eventually reach the ground.
"Hey. This place looks a bit familiar" Blaine says walking towards the centre of the room.
"You're right. It may not look like it but this is where the fountain was" Puck says joining Blaine in the centre of the room. The walls in this giant room had many open tunnels except for one that had a gate over it. A sudden noise behind the boys causes them to do a quick turn.
"What was that?" Blaine whispers grabbing onto Puck again.
"No… Fuck!" Puck shouts to the now broken ladder.
The two boys walk back over to the ladder. It was broken off in an awkward angle and was way too high for either of them to reach, even if one went onto the other's shoulders. Another noise behind stops the boys investigation of the broken ladder. Blaine slowly turns around as does Puck who grips his handgun to tight that his knuckles were beginning to turn white.
Suddenly a worm like monster bursts out from behind the tunnel with the gate. It begins screaming as it splits open a part of its head. Puck and Blaine back away slowly, Puck with his handgun at the ready and aiming and Blaine is totally terrified.
"Blaine, come on snap out of it" Puck says shaking Blaine with one hand keeping the gun aimed in the other.
Puck sees that Blaine is truly out if it. So he decides that he's going to defend Blaine as long as possible and hopefully soon he'll snap out of it. Puck begins shooting at the exposed part of the worms head. The worm didn't like that and screamed in pain and anger. It closed its armour like heads over its exposed part before flicking its tail in Puck's direction. Puck just barely manages to dodge it as the monster worm slides its way into another tunnel.
Blaine was still petrified at the things going on. He watched Puck fight that monster. Blaine wasn't stupid, he could see Puck was just as terrified as him. His body language might of said 'I'm Not Scared!' but his eyes could not conceal the terror Puck was feeling. The boys could feel and hear the monster approaching again. Puck readied his gun. Blaine just wished his legs would listen to him.
The monster came out of a different tunnel that it went in surprising Puck. It let out a roar at him exposing its fleshy head. Puck took the chance to shoot at it. Two out the three shots hit its head. The third bullet rebounding off its armour head. The thing shouts at Puck and quickly whips its tail in Puck's direction. This time it was too fast for Puck to dodge and the tail slams him to the ground. Puck lets out a pain filled scream. This gave Blaine the motivation to move.
"NOAH!" Blaine screams running over to Puck.
Blaine sees the worm eyeing them up curiously. Blaine decided to make the first move and he grabs Puck's gun. The worm hisses at Blaine who in return shoots at it. The worm slinks itself back into the tunnel.
"Hey Noah are you ok?" Blaine asks helping up Puck while also keeping an eye out for the worm.
"I'll live. Thanks to you. I guess I owe you one. How about after this, I let you give me a blowjob cos I know you want to see Puckzilla" Puck says making light of the situation.
"Don't make me shoot you" Blaine says glaring at Puck and handing him back his gun.
"Oh you want to shoot on me too, didn't realise you were into that kinky stuff" Puck says winking at Blaine who punches Puck hard in the shoulder.
The sound of the worm returning stops the conversation. Blaine pulls out his gun and get ready to aim. The slid out of the tunnel and it looked pissed. Blaine and Puck begin shooting at it. The monster screams in agony before sliding in the boy's direction.
"Blaine! I've got an idea so don't hate me for this!" Puck says pushing Blaine to the side.
Blaine lands hard on the floor and watches in fear as Puck jumps up to the worm. Puck pulls the armour enclosing the worms head back and open. The worm buck around attempting to knock Puck off.
"Yee Haw! Let's go Betsy!" Puck shouts holding onto the monster. Blaine finds it hard not to laugh. Only Puck can have fun in a life or death situation.
"Blaine shoot!" Puck shouts.
Blaine does what he's told and starts shooting at the monsters exposed head. Somehow in the back of his mind, this monster seems to remind him of his first sexual experience, how painful it was as well. Puck pulls out his gun again and attempts to fire at the worm. But a sudden jolt from the worm stops that plan and send the gun out if his hands.
"Fuck!" Puck swears under his breath.
Reaching into his bag, Puck pulls out the long kitchen knife that he and Blaine found earlier in the one of the kitchens they passed through. Puck throws a glance down to Blaine and sees that he now has Puck's gun as well as his own. Puck could see the look of fear and confusion on Blaine's face.
"Well here goes nothing" Puck says stabbing the knife down onto the exposed part of the head.
The thing lets out an inhumane roar and fully opens it head. Blaine lets loose a barrage of bullets into the worms head as Puck repeatedly stabs it, becoming coated in the things blood. The worms starts to get weaker before it drops down to the floor with a heavy thud, shaking the room they were in. Puck falls from the worms and straight and on top of Blaine.
"Is it dead?" Blaine whispers in fear of waking the now dead worm up.
"I think so…" Puck whispers back.
"Ohh. Thank fuck." Blaine sighs in relief.
"Well would you look here, Blaine you're under me" Puck says pointing out the position they're in.
"Is that a gun or are you just excited to see me?" Puck says winking at Blaine.
"…" Blaine is speechless but amused.
"Oh it was the gun" Puck says sounding deflated when Blaine shows him one of the guns.
"What the fuck?" Blaine says as a blinding white light begins to take over.
Monster Debut:
Split Worm: It's a gigantic, vile worm that's covered with a lavender-coloured outer layer. The thick armour like skin splits vertically to reveal a fleshy head with any visible eyes. It has a massive jaw with huge teeth. It symbolizes Blaine's first sexual experience which is shown by the many holes the monster enters and exits from. The teeth in the mouth indicates that Blaine's first time was far from pleasant, painful even.
