The screams of dying Red masks lingered in the air, their voices a bit far from Cece and others from what she could tell, 'Coco's really earning her position,' Cece thought grimly, This floor was already cleared, No enemy in their immediate vicinity, all clear from what she could tell, She was free to focus on the more pressing issue at hand......Cece gave Julie a sympathetic smile as she regarded the woman, She looked.... tired and hurt, Wanting to run over to check on Drake but also looking over at Cece, Trying ever so hard to trust Her, given how much Cece and her crew had done for the Renaissance already.'I'd almost pity her if she wasn't such a..... no, no I'm projecting now....' Cece shook her head, she was snapped outta her little world by a member of the Renaissance, he was approaching the bleeding Drake."DON'T!! HE'S DANGEROUS!!" Cece and the white haired man said in unison."Cece what the hell is going on? Why the hell did you shoot Drake?! And do you know this man?!" Ju
'Yep that settles it... I hate them all!' Cas sighed as he sst his eyes on the sorry cast before him.The ever bloodthirsty and violent Bloody Blue Hand, Their representative, Sally kept her eyes glued on Cas, a sinful, mocking smile plastered on her face, Their host, Big Banner was over by the grill, Some Grade A beef were spitting on the fire, He was having a discussion with some of his men, the others were guarding his 44 meter tall daughter Chel, Her physiology had garnered the attention of most members of the Blue hand, only two weren't interested in her, A Tall dark fella by the name of Stan and the aforementioned Sally, 'She's practically undressing me with her eyes,' Cas shuddered."So how long we waiting Banner?" Cas said, wariness in his voice."How long will it take your people to make it?" The man shot back."I told you signal's weak! I can barely get yo them!" Cas protested."Well I guess it'll be a while, oh! Brisket's almost ready, you up for some?" Banner turned to sta
"You may have shuddered through The House of Frankenstein, or even The House of Dracula, but nothing will have prepared you for The House of Devlin!" Drake said heartily, Cece groaned at the proclamation, 'To think I was worried about this shit stain a couple of moments ago,' she sighed."Drake, we really don't haveuch time," Julie pleaded."Hey...... did a parasite live inside your chest for a couple of weeks, without your supposed family suspecting shit?" He frowned."No..... I'm sorry...." Julie sighed."If you're sorry, then you'll allow me to tell my story in peace!" He looked over his audience, Cece was sitting at the far left end of an Old meeting room they found within the building, she was keeping half an Eye on Creeper and his prisoner, they were by the window of the right, The parasite was sitting in a glass jar that they found laying around, Creeper met her gaze, his perpetual smile still there, 'Yep.... that ame really does suit you....' Cece shuddered slightly.Lucy w
"BANNER!" Cas yelled, a little louder than he expected.... didn't matter, "We need to talk, NOW!" He added.The gathering went silent now, all eyes on him as he strode towards the bewildered giant, "Is there an issue my boy?" Banner asked, his tone slightly irritated despite the gentle look on his face.Cas muttered one word, "Thatch...." he had never seen such flurry of emotion take over a man, First confusion, then realization, next was fear, then..... hate, 'Right.... the Golden bastard screwed over his ancestors centuries ago,' Cas recalled the brief talk they had about Zebediah Thatch inside Dark Circus.Banner turned towards one of his subordinates, "Tend to the flames.... do not charr them!" He warned, The poor fella's face turned pale but he nodded vigorously as he took over the grill.Banner gestured and the two men made their way to a secluded area, From the corner of his eye, Cas noticed Sally get up and stride towards them, "Wait! What's this about!" She yelled, they didn'
Cece thought hard about the events of the past hour as she set a course to her brother's location, Lucy, Julie and their new Friend Creeper sat beside her in the White van they had secured during their mission, they split up from Julie's crew, the rest of her people kept their new bases secure, as well as hunted for any more working vehicles in the area.Coco sat on Lucy's lap, The Little ball of fur played with The mousey girl's hand as she tried to give her belly rubs.In the back of the Van in a glassy container sat Creeper's prisoner, Belfast, The creepy little Abomination squirmed with displeasure as he eyed his surroundings menacingly, J.J eyed him back, Snarling at the Spectral Creature.Cece didn't quite know why she was so..... jittery, She stared the Car as best she could through the ruined city, trying her best not to go there.... go to the dark corners of her mind, The ones that showed her images of her brother in a tortured state or even worse.... 'No.... Cas isnt dead,
The ceremony had always been a big event in our town. While the youth turned 18 on different days and received their divine blessing, they first revealed it to others during the Ceremony of Revelation. It had been a custom for many families to actually never call forth the summon before the Ceremony, while others would only call it in private chambers away from curious eyes.And so one week before the big event the town began preparing. Craftsmen erected a stage in the middle of the town square with a pyramid on which the young adult would stand and reveal what the soul formed from the godly power it was bestowed with. It was most common to find people being able to summon tools of their craft if they already had set foot on that path. Be it a sword, a pen filled with unlimited ink or a farming tool, the townsfolk usually tried to teach their children in ways that they would manifest what would help them in the family business. Well, except some of the scholars, they usually tried the
He knew something was wrong the moment he heard the music.....It was soft, it was on the Angelic side whilst having a twinge of darker themes, A mix between Soul and Gospel rock, Cas heard it, So did Sally and Banner from the looks of it.Their men seemed confused as well as many of them looked around fir the source of the music but nothing, It had no source nor direction, As though.... "It's all in our head...." Cas muttered."What?" Sally snapped, Glaring at Cas, "What are you on about?""He's saying the song is all in our head, I think that's mighty obvious Missy," Banner spoke.Sally gave him the most blood curdling glare Cas had ever seen in his life.... well not really, He'd seen far scarier things on his journey so far, but there was something shouting the mundane human giving such an unnatural glare that sent chills down his spine."I'm not anyone's missy! The next time you call me that-""What are they doing?" Cas interrupted pointing at the Saints.The small party seemed be
She swerved to the left just in time to crush a Hellspawn under her Van, "Cece! Watch it you-" Lucy was saying but Cece simply shook her head."I think it's impossible to be careful under this conditions Kiddo!" She said as she rammed another Hellspawn with the van, The creature clung to the windscreen trying desperately to stab into the vehicle, Cece shook him off with a well timed stop, The creature rolled and came to a stop, It was promptly finished off by Creeper with a gun."But your condition!" Lucy protested."We'll figure something out! I know I'm not right but C'mon! We don't much options here!" She started the engine again and continued on her path to her brother."I hope.... you know what you're doing...." Lucy muttered."That's the thing kiddo.... I totally don't!" Cece cackled as she ran over another Hellspawn, It gave a rather satisfying CRUNCH as it's head was reduced to a bloody pulp.From the corner of her eye, she saw Lucy's face turn pale, "look kiddo-""Get down!"
