According to eyewitnesses, the humans were seen at the center of town and they just scattered before anyone could tell where they went.
Jack was walking alongside Bell as the werewolf gave details regarding this morning's incident.
Humans shouldn't be able to be to cross into our world. I wonder if the gate is malfunctioning.
They were walking near the outer side of town. Eventually, the two approached a structure looking like a huge black crystal planted on the ground.
Jack placed his hand onto the crystal.
It doesn't look the gate was activated recently, so how were the humans able to come here?
This gate allows the residents of Halloween to travel to the human world. The only one who can activate the portal is the current ruler of the realm, which happens to be Jack.
Also, some of the residents were thinking about making human stew. I heard from the older folks that humans are chewy on the outside and crunchy on the inside. This would be my first time eating humans, so I can't wait. The werewolf said with anticipation in his eyes.
I think I will pass on that. Anyway, let me know if something happens.
Will do.
The two parted ways and Jack heads to his house to gather his thoughts when he notice that his door was open.
Did I remember to close the door?
Suddenly, he heard screams and thrashing sounds coming from inside his house, prompting him to run to the source of the sounds.
When he enter the living room, he saw his furniture and décor in a mess.
What in the world happened here?
Jack then noticed that there were voices coming from a crack in his closet.
As he went up the closet and reached for the knob, the door swung wide.
In less than a second, Jack finds himself lying on the ground. He felt a weight bearing on his chest.
Heavy.
When he opened his eyes, there were blue orbs staring back right back of him.
S-Sorry! The person quickly stood up. It was a girl with light brown hair.
Slowly one by one, a group of humans emerged from the closet.
Nine humans. Jack counted.
It's fine. Who are you all? Jack gets on his feet and padded the dust off his clothes.
Let me introduce everyone. I'm Honoka. These are my friends, Umi, Kotori, Rin, Maki, Hanayo, Nico, Eli, and Nozomi. The girl spoke while pointing to each respective person. What's your name?
Honoka!, this is not the time for introductions. The blue-haired girl hiding behind Honoka's back said.
The name's Jack Reaper, anyway would you mind telling me what you all were doing in my closet?
Well, you see, we got attacked by a huge purple snake and sort of ran to the nearest place we could hide. The ginger-haired girl said nervously.
A purple snake?
Oh, you must be talking about Scaly.
As if responding to my command, a giant snake with purple scales came out of an opening in the wall. The girls stared at the beast, their bodies frozen with fear.
The snake rested its head on my shoulder. I faced the snake and stroked the scales nears its mouth.
Don't worry about her. She just keeps out intruders.
HOW IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MAKE US FEEL BETTER? Eli said.
Jack heard something falling the floor and when he turned his head, he saw that Hanayo, Nico, and Umi were on the ground, passed out with their friends supporting them.
Scaly gave an ear-shattering hiss, startling the rest of the girls.
What does it want? Rin said with her body shaking.
Oh, she is just hungry.
HUNGRY!?, The other girls said with paled faces.
Jack used his right arm to grip his other arm and started pulling hard.
Hey what are you…
Before Honoka could finished her question, Jack ripped his left arm completely from his shoulder (note no blood was spilled during this action) and threw the limb into the air. The snake in turn lunged and catch the limb in its mouth, making sounds of flesh and bones being torn apart.
W-W-WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?! Honoka said.
As Jack was explaining that this was no big deal, a brand new limb was protruding out of his shoulder.
AHHHH!. Multiple screams filled the house.
By now, all but one of the humans fainted from the experience.
Jack saw a familiar white vapor emitting from the fallen girls, which he instantly gathers in his hand.
What are you doing?
Jack looked at the purple-haired girl who doesn't seem frightened like the others.
Are you not scared of me? Jack said with a confused look.
Oh, I have been able to see all things spiritual and supernatural since I was little, so that it wasn't that scary although I was a bit surprised, Nozomi said with a nervous smile.
I see.
Just as Jack was trying to figure what his next move would be, a figure walked into the room. He looked like a young man with hair and eyes similar to Jack, wearing white shirt, and a black cape.
Hey, Jack do you have a minute? I want to talk to you about next' years even-
The new comer stopped his words when he saw a number of humans in the room except one laying on the floor with Jack towering over them.
As expected from our leader to get time things done. Said the new comer with a grin, showing his fangs and giving him two thumbs-up.
This is going to be a long day.
