Chapter 22: Boogeyman

Reaching Pyramid's room again, I slam the door shut and move away from it, once again feeling aching from my stomach due to hunger.

Pyramid's POV:

I arrive at the sanitorium, drawn by the scent of fresh blood. I enter the building as objects on the floor catch my attention, human food items. Moving my focus from the items, my senses are captured by a figure down the hallway, another protector of Alessa who is currently on his knees pulling his own weapon from his chest, I approach him.

'How have you stabbed yourself with your own weapon?' I ask.

'I honestly believe I ran into the sibling of Alessa, Hecate Gillespie. You are familiar with her, right? You must be.' The one Alessa had briefly nicknamed as the Boogeyman responds to me.

'What makes you believe it was her?' I ask plainly, stopping before him as I grab onto the end of his Great Knife, yanking it out of him the rest of the way as he howls from the pain. I then hand him the weapon as he takes it, holding his wound with his other hand.

'She has the ability of telepathy, correct...?' He groaned.

'Yes.'

'She used it on me to force my weapon from my grasp and into my abdomen.' He informed me, slowly rising back onto his feet.

'What have you done to give her a reason to have done that, brother?' I respond to him, walking away from him to pick up some of the food items Hecate must have dropped.

'I must have scared her, I think she believed I was you, and I was unaware of the fact she was not a regular human wandering the streets as I did not respond.' He approached me.

'I am glad she was able to protect herself before you attempted to kill her, otherwise you would not have been able to protect yourself from me.' I threatened, picking up as much of the food as I can carry in one arm, I continue to speak to him, 'Pick up the rest, you will not be the reason she does not get fed.'

Boogeyman nods as he picks up the remaining food items, not responding to me after my aggressive words toward him.

Hecate's POV:

Sitting on the bed, I ponder over the thought that I may have just killed one of Alessa's executioners. I groan and put my hands on my face, "Why the hell did I do that...I could have just ran...it's not like they can run fast..." I sigh, thinking maybe that one could have been able to move faster than Pyramid since its weapon didn't look too extremely heavy.

A sudden loud pound against the door basically makes me jump out of my skin as I look at the door, grabbing a knife from under my pillow, I point the knife at the door in my hands, thinking that it might be that one executioner I tried to kill that must have found me and is out for revenge, "Go away! Leave me alone!"

Another slam at the door makes it come open, revealing Pyramid as he enters the room, making me lower my weapon and smile at him as I get up off the bed, seeing the food in his arm. I freeze as the other executioner enters the room, my smile fades.

'Do not worry Hecate, he will not hurt you, he is ashamed of himself for scaring you.' Pyramid spoke to me as his helmet turns to face over his shoulder at the other executioner, as the other executioner then nods, having heard Pyramid's statement as well.
