Venno Rapter ~ A Hellish Series ~

The Beginning (Story 1 - Part 5)

With Venno: 

The Velociraptor demoness had entered an abandoned Casino, one that appeared to be rundown down and partially worn out. 

Looking around, it was huge, a bunch of slot machines and poker tables broken or overturned. 

She had entered through the front doors, all of the windows being boarded up. 

The doors had also been boarded up, but she had managed to use her toxic venom saliva to corrode the boards, allowing her entrance to the abandoned casino. 

Arachné had suggested some old run down buildings she could make her own base in, telling her that the Spider Mafia had run a lot of business dry because of their constant attacks on non-Spider demons who enter their turf. 

The Black Widow demoness had told her that she should be able to claim one of the abandoned buildings as a place to live, considering nobody ever goes in them anymore, since their closure. 

Venno, wanting someplace big and spacious where she can live in, decided to choose the old abandoned Casino. 

Arachné had told her that it was a good choice, and she should be able to get a lot of privacy since the Spider Mafia doesn’t bother with demons who are friends to those protected by them, which in this case, would be Venno. 

The Velociraptor demoness smiled as she walked through the large spacious lobby, taking in how big and grand it was. 

She could only imagine how it used to look before it closed down. 

From what Arachné told her, apparently there had been a fight between the Spider Mafia and Shark Gang, and the damage left behind caused the owner to close the doors. 

There was a glass elevator in the center of the large room with a staircase on either side going up to the second floor. 

High above, Venno could see that there were at least three floors, a sort of balcony where one could look all the way down to the first floor. 

Walking over to the elevator, Venno pressed the button only to find that the power was out. 

She sighed, hanging her head. 

She knew that if she wanted to live here, there was a LOT of work that needed to be done first before she can officially call it her home. 

She would have to see if there was any running water, too. 

If not, she would have to see if Arachné knew anyone who could help set up the plumbing and fix the lights. She had a hard time learning about Electricity back when she took science classes, and she doubt she’d be able to be a good plumber, much less a decent one. 

She turned around and scanned the entire first floor. 

Looking around, she spotted a lot of slot machines and some poker and roulette tables that were either broken or overturned. 

She would have to get rid of those, of course. 

Off to her left, she spotted what looked to be a buffet, or at least what used to be. It appeared someone large had been pushed into it, breaking the thing. 

But where there’s a broken buffet and remains of some tables and chairs, there had to be a kitchen. She confirmed it when she spotted a pair of double doors nearby, the word ‘Kitchen’ written on the wall beside it. 

If she could clean out the entire first floor, she’ll be able to store a ton of food in the kitchen, that way she didn’t have to go shopping too often.
