Hellboy simply chuckled at my laughter and escorted the three of us to what was the living room. As usual the place was a mess like a tornado ripped through and scattered everything in different directions. Standing in the center was a very pissed off Liz. And she was literally on fire this time. I simply sank to the ground and watched in silent amusement as the two began to argue over Hellboys' cats.
It had was just getting to the good part when the alarm went off and I stood up and began making my way to the garage. It was there that I saw my sister Anya. On the outside I was glad to get to see here again, but deep down oh how I envied her for her looks. Contrasting our looks, I had skin the color of pure white snow and hair the color of ebony.
My body had yet to gain any womanly curves or an ample bosom. She on the other hand had golden skin that seemed to radiate a healthy glow. Her body had the curves and the ample chest that any model would die to have. Under the light, Anyas' hair was the color of a rich gold that easily out shined the sun. Her eyes were a deep green that held a spark of mischief in them. I had always wondered if all half- angels appeared to look like this or if she was just special.
"Gwen, it's good to see you again" she said in her musical voice.
" yeah, I'm glad to see you are here as well" I replied stepping into the dump truck and waited for everyone else to arrive since I was an impatient child.
Once everyone arrived and was seated in the dump truck, we finally headed out. I took the opportunity to call Adrian and tell him to get a hotel room since I would be staying at the BPRD for the time being. A half- hour passed and we already had arrived at the scene of the crime. I was the first to step out and enter the auction house. My face contorted into disgust as I stepped on something sticky. I shook my boots wildly, but the sticky substance still stuck to my boots and I eventually gave up and walked upstairs.
I prefered to go solo since I worked better on my own for some reason. Judging by what I was seeing, nobody had survived whatever happened to them. My Intercom crackled with static and I radioed in.
" This is Gwen over" I said
" Over seventy guests and no one is alive odd" Liz said
" Tell me about it babe" Hellboy said
" Don't call me babe" Liz replied sternly
" Hey I said Hey" Hellboy said
" Fyi I'm listening in over" I said trying my hardest as not to laugh but failed and allowed a faint heart chuckle to come up through the comlink.
" Oh sorry." Hellboy replied
I didn't reply as I walked into a run down room that had various sizes of holes in the wall. I placed my hand on the floor and used my earth lore to scan the room. A thousand flickers of heart-beats entered my head all at once It made my curious as to what was hiding behind the walls.I stood up as silently as I could and tried to still my breathing as i heard little noises coming from behind the wall. My guard instantly went up and I quickly radioed in to Liz.
" Gwen, do you here my over"liz said
"Loud and clear. I might have a theory as to what happened to the guests" I replied never taking my eyes off of the wall in front of me.
" Abraham has already figured it out. These creatures are called Toothfaires. They feed on bones meat and organs. Be careful"Liz replied as the comlink went silent.
I had not heard what Liz had warned me about in that moment. The wall had exploded and these little fairy like things with multipule legs came at me with the intent to kill and devour me. I instantly ran and shut the door so they could not escape and harm the others. My earth lore switched to my air lore and I took a very deep breath as I sucked the air out of the room. I winced but did not stop when they began biting my skin and trying to eat away at me. Relief washed over me when the Tooth fairies stopped gnawing at my flesh and began clutching at their throats as the very air they breathed was sucked out of them.
Soon the tooth fairies laid lifeless on the ground. I had no time to radio in as I yanked the door open and rushed out into the main lobby to help Hellboy. One of the agents was already being devoured and i was nauseated as the sound of bones and flesh being stripped reached my ears. Blocking out the horrid noise I began blasting them with enough electricity to easily kill them.
" We need something bigger" I replied finally realizing that I was starting to get tired.
Hellboy looked at me expectantly as He shot the little things to tiny pieces. I looked at him and finally realized what he wanted me to do.
" I can't. using too much of my power could cause me to faint and in this place no way" I said and cried out when one bit me.
I grasped wildly for it as it tore open my skin and feasted on my flesh. I got a firm hold and squeezed it till the toothfairy exploded. Blood was dripping down my arm and I hastily covered the exposed skin with what was left of my jacket. Hellboy seemed to get an idea and went behind the large statue that was on display and turned it on it's side. I could hear faint little screams as the tooth fairies were crushed by it.
Next thing I knew, Hellboy, Abraham and me were running up the stairs to help out Liz and Anya. Anya was using pure light to kill them and roast them to nothing more but ash and dust. Liz apparently got fed up with them and used her full power on the toothfairies. Anya yanked me behind the shield that she had put up and screamed for Hellboy to get out of the way. The only thing Hellboy did was put a Cuban cigar in his mouth and wait for the inevitable to happen. Like a nuclear explosion, fire came from Liz and completely blew the entrie place up. But managing to fry all the tooth fairies. Glass shattering made me turn my head and watch as Hellboy was sent into the street below from the impact.
