The Goetia Family
Antauri was alone in his room, looking at the photo of his late parents since he's been in a foster care years ago after they went away for a job. He kept waiting for them to come back to him, but never get to return when the police informed of their deaths. It got him devastated, learning that his parents were murdered, but didn't get to know the reason why. He wanted to find out how his parents were killed, but he won't be able to get some information from the police because they'll think he's too young which it's obviously true for the most part.
Antauri has been abused by his foster father for only a year ago, getting beaten by him and being yelled at. Not to mention he got picked on by kids at his age ever since he first came to school. But that changed when the three imps took him in after they killed his foster father. Millie and Moxxie were able to bond with the white hellhound since they became parent figures to him. Loona got off to a bad start ever since she threatened him at first and it got him to leave the I.M.P. HQ, but she felt guilty for emotionally hurting him and she saved him from the hellhound, and for being drowned in the pond. Loona was able to bond with him, considering she became a mother figure to him.
Now, Antauri was thinking about using a grimoire to open a portal to the human world and find out how his parents were killing since the police won't be much of help at all. Just then, Blitzo barges into the room.
"Hey, kid, what are you up to?" Blitzo asks.
"I'm planning to find out what happened to my parents." Antauri told him, turns to Blitzo. "The police said they were killed a year ago. I don't know how, but they won't tell me because I'm a...child."
"Well, you pretty much are, I mean, you're like what? 6 or something?" Blitzo inquires with a ponder. "I don't know why you wanna know how they're dead, but you need to know that they won't tell you."
"That's what I thought, if they weren't corrupted." Antauri points out, leaving Blitzo confused. "They're dirty cops, basically and I can smell a lie when they just spat words out of their mouths."
"Oh." Blitzo said with an understanding.
"Yeah." Antauri said. "Anyway, I'm planning on heading to Georgia and find out myself since the cops won't help."
"Now hold on a sec, you know, what you're planning is not something you can do alone. I mean, seriously, if you wanna go, you need someone who can help you out and deal with those pig dicks and some fucker who killed your parents." Blitzo told him. "And if that happens when you go alone, Millie and Loona will kill me! And don't want that to happen!"
"Then, what am I supposed to do?" Antauri questions. "Sit out here and not learning about what really happen to them? If I don't get answers, where will that lead me too?"
Blitzo tried to come up with an answer, which he came up with nothing since the white hellhound does make a valid point. But, Blitzo thought of an idea since he remembered of Stolas coming at the I.M.P. HQ by tomorrow morning.
"You know? Stolas is coming to I.M.P. HQ tomorrow, he said something important about the grimoire which it's not that I care or anything, but he'll make an exception by telling us about your parents." Blitzo suggested. "Also, we'll head to the human world and learn about them."
Antauri is confused, wondering who's Stolas.
"And you're telling me this, why?" Antauri inquires.
"Well...I don't know, I don't ask about his personal shit and all that." Blitzo told him. "Anyway, the point is, he might know about your parents. If he does, then it'll get your attention and he'll be given us a mission to find out how."
"Blitz, I'm the only one who knows the location of where in the human world." Antauri point out. "I mean, do you know where you'll be heading when you're in the human world?"
"Well...I, uh...when you put it that way..." Blitzo said, which he got nothing and knows that he's right. "But once Stolas arrives, you'll tell him where are they at and we'll take care of the rest? 'Kay? How's that sound?"
"That's fine, but you may need to take Loona with you." Antauri suggested when Blitzo was about to protest, but the white hellhound raises his hand. "Hear me out, like dogs, hellhounds are known for tracking by using the sense of smell, meaning Loona can track them down along with someone who killed my parents."
"Hm, never thought about it. Okay, you convince me, we'll take Loona with us, and she'll help us track them down while not getting caught." Blitzo said. "But if we're being scene, we'll be sure to kill those fuckers and make sure they don't tell anyone."
Antauri responds with nod, which they've made an agreement for bringing Loona with them to Georgia to find and track his late parent and find someone who killed them. The white hellhound hope that he'll find the answers to who killed his parents and why.
During that night, it was Millie's turn to have Antauri for the night, so she and Moxxie took him back to their home. Millie did her mother routine of getting him cleaned up in the bathtub, changing him into his pajamas, and took him to their room. Antauri went under his covers and started to sleep while Moxxie and Millie started to get ready for bed.
The next day, they got ready and got in the I.M.P. van as a morning routine when Blitzo told them that Stolas is going to visit at the office, and Antauri was wondering who he is. As they made their way to I.M.P. HQ, there was Stolas waiting for them at the lounge.
"Oh, there's my sweet handsome Blitzey!" Stolas said with glee.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm here." Blitzo groans with embarrassment. "And not in front of the damn kid, 'kay! Now, what is it?!"
Antauri was shocked of how tall Stolas is and walked closer. Stolas looked down with surprised look, tilted his head.
"Uh...hi." Antauri greeted nervously as Stolas squatted down to his level.
"Did one of your targets have this child?" Stolas inquires.
"Foster, actually, and yes, we didn't know that the kid is actually a hellhound. We decided to take care of him." Blitzo informed him. "Which brings to know if you know his actual parents that are hellhounds."
"Well, you made a good decision since he deserve a good life." Stolas told him, started pinching Antauri's cheek which made him uncomfortable. "And since you brought that question up, yes, I knew of his parents, which it's the reason why I came here to give you a mission."
"Yeah? What do you need?" Blitzo inquires which it got his attention.
"After learning of this social media when I look at the image of this little one, it got me to realize that his parents weren't here. It's only been 6 years since they've gone to the human world for finding their target, but neither of them has returned here." Stolas explained. "But recently, Octavia showed me the image of their son from social media website. Now that I take a good look at him, he has the same fur color as his mother, and his handsome looks like his father. "
The three imps and Loona couldn't help but snicker a little while Antauri blushed, which apparently to them, handsome is an understatement, but cute, that's different. They think Antauri is cute despite his young age and he's still a pup.
"But now that I think about it while being reminded of something, I came here to ask you to find his parents and bring them back here safely." Stolas told them. "However, if they're dead, then..."
"The police said they were murdered, Stolas." Antauri interrupted which it got his attention. "I don't know how, they just won't tell me because they've been bribed by money. And as far as I know, they're dirty cops and someone kept them quiet about their deaths."
"Hm...I see." Stolas said with a ponder. "Well, I suppose it'll be best that the three of you take Loona with you to...where were they last seen?"
"Georgia." Antauri answered. "Alpharetta, Georgia."
"Alpharetta, Georgia." Stolas repeats, turns to the imps as he opens the portal. "Find out what happened, and bring something that's important to them."
"Kid, did you got a photo with you?" Blitzo asks when Antauri extends the photo to him, grabs it. "We'll be needing that since Loonie can track them down."
"We'll be back soon, kid." Loona said, kissed Antauri's forehead as she walks through the portal.
Millie did the same, kissing Antauri's forehead as she walks through the portal while Moxxie and Blitzo follows them before the portal closes.
And now, it's just Antauri and Stolas alone in the office. Stolas decided to take him to his mansion to keep an eye on the white hellhound while he had to deal with his wife, Stella.
At Alpharetta, Georgia, Loona and the three imps jumped out from the portal, into the forest. Loona and the three imps were watching the people passing through the woods while hidden inside of the bushes and not being scene.
"Are we really in some shithole called Alpharetta?" Blitzo questions.
"Seems we are, but we're in the middle of the woods for the most part." Moxxie replied. "And as far as I can see, we're in downtown."
"Nice place to live if they're in human form." Loona states with a shrug. "But we still have to find out how they got killed."
"Well, asking dirty pigs won't help and we're still gonna have to do it by not being scene, because it'll cause panic." Blitzo suggested, extends the photo. "Loonie, you got their scent."
Loona then starts smelling the photo which she got their scent.
"Got it." Loona replied.
"Good, now track." Blitzo said with a smirk.
And with that, Loona starts smelling the odor of Antauri's parents which she picked up a trail as they began to run, follow the trail.
Meanwhile, Stolas took Antauri inside of the mansion, which the white hellhound was amazed until Stella started throwing vases around and cursing very loudly. Antauri got a little scared when she approaches.
Stella is a tall, slim, white avian demon. She has long, hair-like feathers that have a gray tips and a large gray stripe on her head. She has a short pink beak, and very long curved eyelashes. She has gray markings underneath her eyes, which themselves have red sclera with light pupils. She wore a white dress with puffed sleeves and feather trimmings, along with black accents. She also wore a crown, and has painted nails underneath her black gloves.
"YOU HAVE SOME NERVE COMING BACK HERE STOLAS!?" Stella shouted. "AND WHAT IS THIS HELLHOUND DOING HERE?!"
"He's a guest since I asked I.M.P. to find his late parents that were hellhounds, like him." Stolas told her. "The ones that were very close friends of mine and yours."
"What?!" Stella exclaimed with shock. "You mean to tell me they're..."
"Unfortunately, they're dead." Stolas said sadly. "And it's been 6 years since we've got no word from them, but they left this little one behind and have him under the foster care. He's been through enough in the human world, he'll currently under the care of I.M.P."
Stella didn't like the idea of Antauri lived with the three imps and Loona which they did found him first and took care of him. However, she does want Antauri living with them at the mansion, where she can take care of him and treat him like a son she wants. But Stella and Stolas have a daughter, which neither of them pays attention to her, mostly because they've been arguing about him cheating on his wife. But after learning of Antauri's parents, she wants to make it right by taking care of him, which she's gonna have to find a way of having him here in the mansion as part of the Goetia family.
After Stella left, Stolas took Antauri to the living room, where his daughter, Octavia is relaxing on the couch listening to her music from the phone. She then saw her father setting Antauri down on the chair and turns on the TV before given him the remote. After Stolas left, Antauri noticed her which he remembered her at the park. He didn't forget that Octavia did chase after him along with the female demons.
Of course, Octavia noticed him given that glaring look, given her a 'I'm watching you' look on his face. Octavia cringes, had a feeling he didn't forget for what she did which of course, she felt guilty for chasing after him and not given a chance to get to know him. She decided to break the ice, hoping she can get to know him and learn about each other. She was only 8 feet taller than him and Antauri was only 4 feet tall.
"Hello, little guy." Octavia greets simply, earned his attention. "Look, I'm really sorry that I chased you. I just couldn't help it that you're adorable in the media and up close. And I really want to have you here, just to know how it feels like to have a little brother."
Antauri was surprised that Octavia is the only child and has no siblings, but he was also the only child as well.
"I'm Octavia." Octavia introduces herself. "What's your name?"
"It's Antauri." Antauri answered.
She noticed he was still a bit skeptical which it's understandable, decided to pick him, and show him around the mansion.
Back at Alpharetta, Georgia, Loona and the three imps continued to follow the trail of scent and through the forest, which leads them to the mansion. Loona notices the scent of Antauri's late parents.
"No doubt, they were here alright." Loona said. "And the last place where they took the mission on finding the target."
Then, they noticed the security guards at the front lobby, guarding the mansion and the target. Loona and the three imps knew that finding Antauri's late parents would be too easy, but not easy on going through the mansion with the security around.
"We're gonna have to find a way to get inside, look for his parents, and finish what they started." Loona suggested. "Any ideas?"
"I'd say we give those dipshits hell, find out about what happen to the two hellhounds, and kill their target." Blitzo told her with a smirk. "That way we can scot free! It's a win-win, right?"
"Sir, I think we-"
Before Moxxie could even try to protest, the two security guards noticed the car is coming towards the mansion as the gates were open. The car drove through and stops the main lobby, the door opens as the man entered inside of the main lobby. Loona picks up his scent, but widen her eyes as she growls.
"That's the target, he killed his parents!" Loona snarled angrily. "Change of plans! Get to the mansion, kill the target, and give them hell!"
And with that, Loona and the three imps rushed out of the forest as they leap over the gates, ran towards the security and began to kill their multiple targets.
While back in Hell, Antauri was hanging outside in the garden with Octavia. Octavia carried him around and the white hellhound was amazed of how beautiful it was. Just then, they went back inside and into her room since she needs to use the restroom real quick.
"Wait here, Antauri." Octavia suggested.
Just then, Antauri noticed how comfortable her bed is, decided to take a nap for a bit since he's not wearing shoes at all because of his current hellhound form. Then, Stella walked inside of her daughter's room, noticed him sleeping. She thinks for a minute, picked him up, and took him into the room.
While back in the mansion, Loona and the three imps made a quick work out of the two security guards and went inside of the mansion. Once they're inside, they noticed the security guards were fully armed with handguns which both Moxxie and Blitzo were arms with UZI guns while Millie pulls out her throwing knives. Loona charges after the security guards, Moxxie and Blitzo gives her coverfire while firing their guns at the guards, and Millie throws her throwing knives at them.
The number of the security guards were quickly decreasing when they're killed in headshots and multiple bullet wounds, causing the blood and organs to splatter all over the room. Loona mauled the security guard with her claws, then kills the second by slit his throat, and then kills the third by snapping his neck.
After they made a quick work out of the security guards, Loona caught up the scent as she and the three imps follow the trail while killing more security guards.
Once they found their target, they entered inside of the room which was filled with dead animals, including two pelts of the hellhounds, mounted on the walls along with a hunting rifle. It turns out that the rich man is a big game hunter who only hunts animals for trophies and money, which the animals were mostly from Africa and it's illegal. Loona noticed two of the hellhound pelts which it got her growling at the game hunter angrily as he was about to run for his gun, but Blitzo fired his flintlock pistol right at the lower spine, causing the hunter to scream in pain.
"Don't think of trying to get your gun, bitch!" Blitzo snarled, aiming his gun at the hunter. "He's all yours, Loona."
Loona gladly walk towards the big game hunter as she brings out her claws, began to maul him. Loona rips his clothes into shreds, started tearing the flesh and bones which causes the blood and gore to splatter, then finishes him by ripping the head out of the body.
Loona took a deep breath while Millie and Moxxie took the two pelts out of the wall. Blitzo took out his phone and inform Stolas that the work is finished as the portal opens. Loona then took his head and puts it in a potato sack as a souvenir, then she and the three imps entered the portal.
While back at the mansion, Stella was in the living room, placing him on her lap and rubbing Antauri's head with a smile. She even remembered of his parents visits to the mansion between friendly visit, missions, and having her and Stolas try to work things out. Apparently, they were informed that the two hellhounds were having a baby named Antuari, which they're happy for them and really want to meet him. However, they were wondering what happened to the two after 6 years ago, but learned from Antauri that his parents were murdered.
Stella looked at Antuari, an orphaned hellhound who's left behind and abused by a foster father, but the three imps killed their target and took him to Hell, taking care of him. While Stella continues to rub his head affectionately, Octavia finally found him and her mother, informing her that supper is ready.
"Antauri, it's time to wake up, little one." Stella said gently, causing Antauri to groan. "Supper is ready."
Once Antauri fully wakes up, Stella picks him up as she and Octavia head towards the dining hall, which she wasn't too pleased of Stolas since he cheated on her.
At the dining hall, Antauri sat next to Octavia and her parents in the dining hall, eating dinner. Octavica was listening to her music and being on her phone while Stella was given a death stare to Stolas, who's ignoring her while reading a book and eating at the same time. Antauri stayed quiet while he eats what was in his plate. He was wondering about what caviar is since he has some on his plate, besides that looked a lot like fish eggs and they're very expensive to for a small amount.
'These are called caviar, and looked like fish eggs? Capital 'BARF'!' Antuari mentally thought, cringes uncomfortably as he tried the caviar which he doesn't know if it tastes good or not.
Soon as Antauri tried that caviar, he actually liked it, especially with steak and green beans. He was nervous of Stella since she's scary when she's angry, but he doesn't understand why she kept ranting about Stolas cheated on her. He just quietly continuing eating and finished his plate.
Antauri and Octavia went to her room since her parents started shouting again. Antauri started to yawn and was a little tired since it's about to be nighttime in Hell. Octavia noticed as she picks him up towards the bathroom to get him undressed, cleans him up in the tub, dried his fur, and got him on his pajamas. Octavia places him on her bed while getting herself cleaned up.
After Octavia got herself cleaned up, she also got on her pajamas, lays next to him on the bed when he's fallen asleep. She never had a sibling before considering she's the only child of the family, but she considered Antauri as a little brother to her. She pulled the covers over them and Antauri starts moving to get comfortable in Octavia's arms, causing her to hug him.
Later, Blitzo made it to Stola's mansion, and he walked inside. Loona, Moxxie, and Millie went to their own homes to get themselves cleaned up and getting some sleep. Stella got pissed of seeing Blitzo just walking in like he owns the place.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE YOU FUCKING HOMEWRECKER?!" Stella yelled with pure rage.
"I'm just here to pick up my payment from Stolas and take Antauri home with me." Blitzo told her with a shit-eatting grin.
Stolas then came into the living room with a wad of cash and gave it to him. Blitzo then showed them the pelts of two hellhounds which Stolas widen his eyes, now knows how Antauri's parents were killed.
"Thank you, now the kid." Blitzo suggested, takes the cash.
"Yeah, about that, um, Antauri is already sleeping with my daughter right now, and I think it will be good if he stays for the night." Stolas informed him, then takes the pelts. "I suppose...this is all that's left of his parents?"
"Yeah, some dickhead just killed him for his own shit-hunting season. I mean, you should look at the walls, there all full of animal heads and all that shit." Blitzo told him. "Almost like he's Elmer fucking Fudd hunting rabbits and all that."
"I see." Stolas said with a sigh. "Well, thank you for killing that bastard. For now, it'll be best you head home, I'm afraid Stella and I will give them a proper burial of their deaths."
Blitzo can tell that Stolas really wanted to have some time alone after what he just learned. He then leaves the mansion, leaving Stolas alone when he turns to his wife, who's in tears since she learned of the death of two hellhounds.
Stolas uses his magic to burn the remains of two pelts by turning them into ash while conjures two urns. He then closes the lids and places two urns at the mantles. Stella then walked towards to the room, needed some time alone.
During that night, Stella couldn't sleep and has been crying for a few minutes since she learned of how the two hellhounds were killed. Stella sighed and walked out of the bedroom, heading towards her daughter's room when she quietly opens the door a crack, looking at the white hellhound sleeping next to Octavia.
"Antauri..." Stella quietly muttered.
That's it for the 5th chapter.
