Come Back

(I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO SAY THIS BEFORE RELEASING THIS CHAPTER BUT YES THERE WILL BE LOTS OF VIOLENCE AND BLOOD, LIKE FOR THE ENTIRE CHAPTER. WELL EXCEPT THE LAST FEW PARTS BUT THERE'S LOTS OF ARGUING AND NEGATIVITY AND IM SORRYYYYY GHBNGVF)

"Ercole?" Antonio frowned at Ercole as he kept his eyes on the bushes.

Without responding, Ercole grabbed his harpoon and cautiously approached closer to the bush. The glowing eyes grew angrier, the closer he was.

"I've got you now..." Ercole squinted, clutching the harpoon tightly in his hands.

Matteo stared at him, lost. "W...what do you see?"

"Shut up," Ercole hissed, not taking his eyes off the creature's. Keeping his mouth shut, Matteo just continued staring at Ercole. Chiara and Antonio did the same, unsure of what to do.

Ercole crouched down as he stepped closer to the bushes. "I know it's you, piccoletto. Why don't you come out? Show your face? Your secret's out anyway, so there's no point in hiding anymore. There's also no point in staying here. Because soon, the entire town is going to know about you two. You BRATS will be on the streets, STARVING!"

Chiara spoke up in a frantic tone, "L-let's just go, Ercole! We've been hurt badly enough! Antonio needs a hospital, he'll die if he bleeds out!"

"SHUT UP!" Ercole whipped around, glaring at her crazily. "This is the LAST time I will be dealing with these FREAKS! You don't know how LONG I've been waiting for this moment! Ever since these DISGUSTING things came to Portorosso, my life was RUINED! Every time I'd been close to killing the two, SOMETHING WAS ALWAYS IN MY WAY. I will NOT lose to a couple of QUEER SEA MONSTERS!"

His group stared at him in complete shock. There was nothing but silence now.

Brushing his hair back, Ercole sighed. "Especially that green one. He'd been stealing my chance of killing Alberto, EVERY TIME. So instead, once I get my hands on the little piccoletto, I'll-"

He was cut off by a low, deep growl. Like a wolf's growl, but there were gargles and hisses in it. Slowly turning around, Ercole peered into the bushes again, and now saw not only a pair of eyes, but sharp, bared teeth too.

Matteo gasped, covering his mouth. "No...no, I can't do this. Let's just go, guys! Please!"

"SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" Ercole snarled at him, "You will NOT take this moment away from me! And you WON'T run away, either. Being a coward only gets you punished! And if you think I'm wrong...I'll gladly show you otherwise. Now come here, you three! NOW!"

But before they could do a thing, Chiara jumped up, screaming, "ERCOLE! BEHIND YOU-"

"AAAAHH!" Ercole fell face first onto the ground as Alberto lunged from the bushes and onto his back. Dropping his harpoon, Ercole whaled loudly as Al scratched at his skin and ripped his clothing apart, seething furiously.

"UGH!" Grabbing a rock, Ercole rammed it into Alberto's cheek and shoved him off of him. Getting up, Ercole grabbed his leg, but Alberto wrapped his tail around his neck and tightened his grip. Losing his grip, Ercole released him as he started gasping for air.

Crawling back on top of him, Alberto rose his hand up, claws out. But before he could swing at him, he was sent to the ground again as Antonio threw himself onto him. Growling with anger, Alberto tried to get up, but Antonio held him down on his stomach with his arms. Alberto hissed and snarled as Antonio squeezed him tighter.

"Hold him down!" Quickly getting up again, Ercole snatched up his harpoon and stormed over to them. Chiara and Matteo stayed back, holding each other and shaking in fear.
