Saul looked down at the squashed corpse of Carlos and was lost for words. He couldn't believe what Aaron did.
Aaron panted as he threw the shovel away. He thought he did the right thing. Saul then looked at him.
"Why did you do that for?!" Saul yelled. Aaron was surprised by this reaction.
"What do you mean? I killed that monster!" Aaron defended. Saul then walked away to the corpse.
"I killed that demon! You just killed Carlos!" Aaron looked over at the corpse of the demon and saw it was dead.
He winced. "My bad…"
Saul sighed. "No, its fine… you didn't know…" Saul looked at Carlos' corpse. He couldn't believe that the cat that read him a bedtime story was dead.
And he seemed so nice too. A great friend for his dad and a better friend for Saul. Saul shed a tear.
Suddenly, an orange light came around the corpse. The two back away as Carlos appeared fully healed. He gasped as he woke.
He looked the same cat before the accident. Yellow with brown stripes and blue eyes. He then turned and spoke to Aaron.
"What the hell was that for?!" He shouted. Aaron didn't know what to say.
"You… you should be… dead?" Saul stuttered. Carlos then got up.
"I'm immortal. That means I can never die. So are my friends. We didn't want to tell you that because… we thought you might shun us." He said as he sheepishly rubbed his arm.
Aaron walked up to him. "Hey, we're not going to shun you! In fact, I'm also immortal!" Carlos looked at him strangely.
"Really?"
"Yep. But the only difference between us is that I regenerate after every death. You can keep your original body."
Carlos smiled. He felt like he belonged. He went up onto Aaron's back and hugged him. Aaron smiled. Saul then walked over to the book.
"How did you get this book dad?" He asked.
"Oh, it was just buried in this den. I think this used to be a satanic burial ground."
Saul turned and his eyes widened. "And you just kept living here?! What about the bodies?"
"There were only two."
"Well, didn't you give them a good resting place?" Carlos asked.
"Oh, hell no! That would take time. I just dug up the bodies, pissed on them, and then buried them upside down."
Saul's and Carlos' jaws dropped when they heard this. "Why?!" They said in unison.
Aaron thought for a moment. "Why? I don't know… I was drunk… but I remember burying them in a cave where no one can find them."
"Well, that's comforting." Carlos said sarcastically.
"Yeah, yeah! Let's just get that squid out of the den." Saul then picked up the demon and the trio went on to bury it.
