A moment after the gauntlet had pulled the heart from its cage the fire which had given him his stregth abated him. however now he felt a new presence. There was a demon inside of him now. A creauter he knew was meant for his father but had gotten him instead.
A demonic myst filled the room. Two glowing orbs appeared infornt of Alex. He knew that this was the demon. The oni which seemd now intent on having an audience with him. "We are one now. I have saved your life and now it belongs to me. bound to one another forever." IT spoke in a whispy almost horse voice. nothing like a demon shoud sound.
"Alrighty then.... " As much as that seemed to be the least apropriate response it was all Alex could think to say."Let me just put it this way. If you are real and this isn't just some sort of drug induced coma, then I have NO intetion of doing anything you say. Unless you can make it profittable and agreeable to me." He said it with the most Fuck you tone he could manage.
"We will see." Said the demon as it faded away.
Alex grabbed the guards keys and boots as he had nothing for his feet. He then patted the guard on the stomach right below the gaping wound and said "Good luck in the after life asshole!". He then left and ventured into the hallway. going to the end and following the stairs up. AS he walked he could still hear the moans and the screams from deeper down in the dungeon and almost wondered if he should go help them. He ignored that feeling and the horns grew. Just a little but he could definetly feel them pushing out a little bit more. It was like a throbbing migraine headache but on the outside.
"Im gonna kill that demon" Thought Alex aloud. Why the fuck do I have horns? He traveled to the top of the staris and found a small door with a barred hole in it. There was no apperent way to open to so Alex tried the the obivous approach. He knocked on it. There was an answer.
"who is it and how many fingers am I holding up?" What kind of fucking question was that? "Bob and 3." ALex had no idea but was hopin the guess was good. The guy didn't respond for a long moment.
"Bob arnt you supposed to be home today preparing for your trial?" Alex heard the door unlock. "No matter get on out of there before some of those creatures get out and follow you. Alex walked up and the man immediantly attacked as if he knew all along that 'bob' was not who he said he was. And again the gauntlet flared to life and snatched away the mans life in a flash of blood and gore that was erily electrifying to Alex. The man slumped to the floor blood slowly drained from his wound to the floor but alex just kept walking as if nothing had happened. He needed to get out of here and find someplace safe.
