Chapter 20
“Don’t like Queen”
“Why?” Lycus growls
“Mean, evil and hurts” Seven responds as she continues to lick at the bone in her hand.
“You hungry little one?” Daimon asks as he walks towards her slowly giving her a bag of salted roast pork skins.
“Smells” Seven mumbles as she takes a sniff and then cautiously picks on up and places it into her mouth.
“Mm Yummy” Seven says loudly as she continues to crunch away on her salted roast pork skins.
“Thought you might like that. Better than eating dead bodies” Daimon mutters as he looks at Lycus.
“Do you see anything?” Daimon asks Lycus as he turns slightly to keep his whispered words low so that Seven doesn’t hear but also so Daimon could keep an eye on Seven.
“No, this whole thing is unsettling, why now all of a sudden. Something is wrong” Lycus whispers back.
“You mean something more wrong than our own people trying to kill us? Or that the people that were put into place to help advise have become greedy” Daimon whispers back with a raised eyebrow.
“Exactly. There is something about this whole situation that feels familiar but not at the same time. I wish that we didn’t need this cloak and dagger shit and that we could just find the answers without anyone getting hurt” Lycus mutters back.
“Everyone hurts” Seven mutters as she continues to munch away on the salted pork skins.
“We don’t have to hurt, but there are some out there that enjoy hurting others” Daimon replies.
“Everyone hurts and everyone wants more” Seven responds by handing out her now empty pack to Daimon and shaking it slightly.
“More” Seven all but yells.
“Ok” Daimon responds before disappearing and reappearing in a blink of an eye. This time the packet that Daimon hands over was a lot larger than the last one it was so big that it was the size of a full-grown adult standing over six feet tall. Seven greedily snatches the bag and leans back against a tree munching away on her pork skins like she was made in the shade.
“You think that was big enough” Lycus asks with a laugh.
“I told the shop owner to keep them coming and that we needed large bags shipped to the heavenly realm ASAP. I don’t want her eating the dead, if she is hungry then she can have food, not dead people” Daimon mutters as he looks at Seven crunching away.
“Yeah. That was slightly unsettling but it was more so seeing Athan enjoy it so much” Lycus mutters with a shake of his head.
“Agreed” Daimon responds.
As they continue to watch the castle, Lycus and Daimon watch supers come and go repeatedly. The supers would bring crates and bags full of things even several wagons were brought into the castle grounds.
“You know what I am finding weird here?” Lycus says as yet another wagon was brought in.
“That all the goods go inside nothing is unloaded and there are too many guards” Daimon says as he notices several guards walking around.
“Yes”
“Supers” Seven calls.
“What?” Lycus snaps turning towards her.
“That wagon has several supers inside they are breathing but they are not awake, just like all the other supers that were brought in” Seven responds quietly as she stares off into the distance.
“Seven, what is wrong” Daimon asks as he moves towards her.
Seven’s eyes roll back into her head and when she opens them again, they are black as night.
“Seven isn’t here right now. There are others and supers being torn apart as we speak. We can all sense it why can’t you?” The demon asks as it comes to the forefront.
“We can’t feel anything at all. Seven said that there were supers in there but we can’t feel that. Why can she?” Lycus growls as he looks at the demon.
“Probably because she has so many senses that it is easier to pick up. But then again maybe not. You can’t be here they know that you are watching and they are about to attack. You need to leave” The demon growls
“Leave, leave where?” Daimon asks
“Archon and the kids need you. They are being attacked. Soon the warning will go out but it is already too late you need to hurry.” The Demon snarls at them.
Daimon reaches forward and grasps Lycus’s arm as well as Seven’s and transports them back to the heavenly realm as they appear smoke, yelling and screaming can be heard in what use to be the courtyard but now remains nothing more than a graveyard. A loud pop sounds from the left and as they turn there, they spot Athan, Bride and Erebus.
“The call just went out, how are you here so quick?” Bride calls.
“Seven’s demon warned us.” Lycus responds before taking a step forward. Just as Lycus’s right foot would have touched the ground Seven tackles him to the ground.
“Trap” Seven mutters before her eyes turn purple and her hair grows white
Seven or whatever she is chants and raises her hands as she continues to chant several explosives rise from the ground once Seven has them high enough, she detonates them and watches as the remains sprinkle down on them like tiny specks of dust.
“Thank you Seven” Lycus calls
“Your welcome but I am the witch not seven. You need to be more careful. Archon is up head and to the right. Be careful, Tito, London, Dom, Landon, Tennessee and Jameson are several meters further spread out they need assistance. Hekate is trapped in the entrance of the temple.” The Witch responds as she disappears.
“Where my snacks?” Seven snaps as she looks around
“What snacks did she get?” Athan calls “I want snacks, get me snacks” Athan continues to whine.
Bride, Erebus and Lycus rush towards the location that the witch said Archon was while Daimon rushes to help Hekate.
“Archon” Bride calls.
“Help…. They took them” Archon mutters before passing out.
