Chapter 11:
Monster

Everyone in life has a place and role to fulfill. Without them to be present at a certain time, a feeling of emptiness will fill that absent space. As though the universe has shifted to adjust to this void. Still a feeling of incompleteness will linger throughout time. Even though many in this world believe they do not belong. That is the emptiness that a missing person had created. If one thing is out of balance for one life, then they wish not to exist as well. Not that they are suicidal, just being incomplete in their present life can make their world unpleasant to face. Sometimes this results people being stuck in their current routines and unable to change at the present moment, because that is where they are comfortable. The unknown is what some call it, when they fear to take risks and be different. Everyone fears such behavior, since such acts can cause many stuck in their routines to be forcibly changed. But, these risk takers and those that wish to change, help everyone by being present. Even if the rest of the world wishes they would also disappear.

It has already been two months since the demon was brought to his cage. The Zookeepers, with the help of a Zora named Kirki had began to call him Dark to get his attention. He had realized that when they say that word, they were calling to him. From his cave-like cage he saw that many of the people that walked around would call to small children or to someone else with different words like: Jerry, Michel, Mary, Alexandra, Herbert and others. When these people called out another would answer, but only one. He would watch from the bars as groups of these would stare back and chatter to each other about him.

"Oh my, what a interesting creature." A lady with a sun hat said. "I wonder what it is?"

"I don't know dear"A fat man responded to the sun hat lady. "His plate just says Dark on it and unknown for the species."

"Mommy! Mommy!" A little boy said out loud. "Can you take a Pictograph of me near it's cage?!" He ran under the iron bar dividing the cage from the path and stood right by the name plate.

"Now Aidren don't get too close." The fat man said. Although the kid was almost pressed up against the brick base. "It is a wild animal after all."

The creature dubbed Dark got closer to the bars to see the young boy better. He bearly reach the top of the cage's base. The boy had light blond hair and was wearing a blue t-shirt.

"Aidren try to get it into the light." The lady said. "He's so dark the shadows are hiding him from view."

"I guess the name fits." The fat man chuckled.

"Okay mommy!" The young boy ran to the right closer to the sun. But, he miss stepped while running twisting his right ankle. "Ah!"

"Aidren!" The two yelled. "Let go of him you beast!"

Dark had caught the boy's right arm as he tripped, keeping the child from falling into the drainage ditch that brought clean water into his cage. The sides of it were crudely cut and sharp looking. The being just reacted on impulse to save the kid from more injury. Well holding the kid's arm a old famillar feeling shot through him. The cries of the child's pain struck him and he suddenly wanted to crush the child's arm. He wanted to hear the cracking of bones, the gush of a failing heart ripped from the chest, more desperate screams of... Prey. His heart beat faster, his gut felt emptier and his mind was quickly turning murderous. The temple deep in a lake, his old home did this to him.

Before he left, the temple fed him graciously As creatures got sick or couldn't continue on, they were brought into his chamber to wander endlessly until they died. For awhile he would simply watch them die and rot away, thinking it was just his mind entertaining him. But, overtime he began to investigate the corpses then eating them. Though he never felt the need to eat or sleep throughout his entire life before hand, but devouring these animals became an addictive habit. Soon he began to attack the still living, more for fun, then he found more amusement in devouring them well they still lived. He took great entertainment from the faces of horrified meals. Even if these treats came by once every eon in his mind, they were the most wondrous gifts the gods ever gave.

Thats when it hit him, the man, this world, these strange lazy creatures. It was a gift by a godly force, it must be. Why else would this young creature hurt itself, why would so many have so much flesh? He never left the temple, he must have died himself. That man was a god, his god and this was to be his heaven... And he intended to indulge in these gifts.

"No, stop!" The boy cried as he was lifted when Dark stood up. His ruby eyes glowed brighter with hunger. "N-no let go! AAAAAHHHH!" With a tearing and snapping sound, Dark pulled the arm hard into his cage. The skin broke open, muscle ripped apart as blood poured in huge amounts everywhere and finally the ligaments holding the arm to the socket snapped. "HHHEEELLLPPP!" The boy screamed as Dark grabbed hold of his sprained ankle and again lifted and tore off the limb. Soon the loss of blood was too much and the boy went limp, letting Dark to easily force it through the bars, by snapping the neck. He then began to rip open the body and devour the failed heart.

Well this happened the zoo was nuts. People screaming for help, cried, and fainted. The keepers had poles, and chains. But, most just stared in horror as Dark enjoyed his victim He was unaware of what was happening around him as he dug into the torso of the dead child. Smiling in delight as he snapped the ribs one by one and chewing on bloody bits of flesh attached. But something was off he thought, and he dragged the unrecognizable body into the water to eat more. The keepers nor the guards couldn't do anything to stop him. As time passed around evening Dark had stripped every bit f flesh off the body. Happy, he dragged the white bones over to where he made a nest of the hay. He laid down and drifted to sleep.

AN:

Hey guys! Well my poll didn't go as planned, so I'm just gonna stick with reviews to improve the story. So this means Between Dimensions maybe be revamped after a month or two after it is completely up and re-uploaded I have become aware I have some minor grammar errors and other mistakes that I need to address. But, for now just enjoy the story that I have right now.

(Sorry to the reviewer who wanted a Dark licking things, my mind is blocking on how it will fit into the main story at this point. But anyone else wanting a mini-story from me about that can PM me and I could have it as a small side story. [Hey a fanfic inside a fanfic! Has you mind exploded yet?]).

Anyways this chapter Dark gets into big trouble, though he doesn't know it yet. I wondered if he was always trapped in the Water Temple before in OoT, and if so did he eat (and what he ate) or he doesn't need to eat? Yes the chapter is gory, but I wouldn't have rated the story M if it didn't have at least a little gore. (Or sex... _)
