King Death

Chapter 27

Zero's POV

I followed behind the 3 men and made 2 very loud but discreet coughs.

One of the men turned around and stared at me.

"Is everything alright?" He asked as he stared me up and down suspiciously.

"Yea, I'm a smoker, smokers cough dumb ass" I said condescendingly.

He turned around and we continued walking through the forest until we reached what looked to be a home made out of a hill in the ground.

They opened the door and we all stepped inside. It was small but all 3 of us fit inside comfortably.

"Tell us about yourself, Scar" said the green eyed man as he sat on a pillow in the middle of the floor. The other men sat next to him and I sat across from him.

"Where did you come from" he asked again as I thought over my words carefully.

"I come from distant cult lands, I am the leader of my cult but by far not the strongest" I said only repeating most of what he said to me earlier when we first met.

"Who's the strongest in your cult, Zero" he said narrowing his eyes as if he was trying to figure me out. I made sure that I made it damn near impossible for him to get even the smallest info from me.

I looked up at the ceiling in thought before answering.

"You don't need to know"

He stared at me for a long time this time through his eyebrows and I honestly started to get worried that he was starting to lose his patients with me.

I hid my emotions and kept my straight face as I stared back. I stared straight through his eyes and ignored the raging snakes that seemed hungry to attack at any moment.

I fought not to show a single ounce of fear and if I slipped even once he would attack like a murderous monster.

Right now he was down right stalking my emotions with his eyes. He is the predator and I am his pray. He was waiting to catch me slip and I wasn't about to let it happen.

"Are you provoking me Goliath?" I said calmly as I refused to break eye contact.

His eyes dilated for a split second when I spoke his name but they softened quickly after followed by an evil grin.

"Why don't we show Scar the bone yard" he said in a calm tone to the men next to him.

"May I step out for a cigarette first?" I asked even tho I was going to either way. I wanted to make sure Lucifer was close by and even if he couldn't be seen by them I would know he's there by certain signs he likes to give.

"Of course" he said with wide eyes followed by a devilish grin as he pointed to the door with an open hand.

I got up and walked towards the door and one of the men followed behind me. I didn't question it because honestly I didn't give a fuck. But it would have been nice if they left me alone for just 5 minutes. It would make it a hell of a lot easier for him to give me a sign that he's there.

I stepped outside and the man behind me stood beside me, not once taking his eyes off me.

A while back I had learned how to recognize Lucifers animal impressions and he honestly did a 100 percent perfect wolf howl.

I caught just barely a glimpse of his hair in the far distance behind the trees and luckily the man beside me didn't see.

Just than I heard him make a faint enough Wolf call that sounded 100 percent real. He even made it seem as if it were coming from distant lands away.

God damn Lucifer is one smart fucking man. I thought to myself as I took hit after hit of my cigarette.

The man next to me finally broke the tension between him and I. He seemed as if he was trying to read my emotions with his questions to try and catch me in a lie. But I was a good liar.

"So, how did you kill the virgin?"

I glanced over at him taking another drag of my cigarette before exhaling the smoke towards his face in order to obscure my face expressions.

He didn't seem to mind and ignored the smoke that was all around his face.

"I told you guys back there, I needed her heart. Isn't that enough for you to put 2 and 2 together my guy?"

He looked me up and down and just about snarled in my face.

"Listen here you son of a bitch, I ain't buying it. I don't believe for a second that you hurt that child. I think you are covering for somebody, and I don't buy for a single second that you have sacrifices within your (cult) and honestly I don't buy your bad ass facade you put on. I think you are scared shitless of us, You're lost out here and don't know where the fuck your going, you're a gentle giant and you're way in over your head" he paused for a second and smiled as the smoke from my cigarette cleared, he stared me in the eyes and looked me up and down before finishing his thought.

"I think by the end of tonight we are the ones who's going to be feasting on your heart"

I stared him in the eyes and looked him up and down just as he did to me.

"Is that so?" I asked as I spit on the ground at his feet.

I was really sick of acting. And I was sick of the tension that was in the air. Something in me was hoping this jack ass would try something and trigger Lucifer, but it wasn't that time yet.

Goliath and the other man from inside soon stepped out and started walking into the forest.

I followed calmly behind them.
