Katherine wasn't happy with flying again, but Hellboy holds her hand and comforts her as they rode the helicopter towards Pendle Hill. After washing his mouth out...five times...he finally rid of Baba Yaga's foul taste and sighs as he breathes in the minty scent.
Rock music blares from his boombox as he sits with Katherine and Alice. Katherine moves and snuggles against his chest. He happily takes her in his arms and felt his anger melt away. The feeling of her soft touch against his chest made him purr.
With Daimio flying, Alice decided to research about Pendle Hill.
Katherine looks up at Hellboy as he's so deep in thought. She sits up, flipping on of her ear muffs and presses her ear against his chest. Listening to his heartbeat. Hellboy grins and holds her close. The music and his heartbeat drowns out the loud engine and motor of the helicopter. Giving her a soothing sound for the ride.
Alice suddenly exclaims, "This is sick. Do you know what they did to the witches at Pendle Hill? They cut off their tongues, fed them to maggots and buried them alive right there on the spot." She speaks through the mic of her headgear.
Katherine frowns, "Jesus. What did they do to deserve that?"
Hellboy was growing tired of hearing about it the violence against his people. He snatched off his headphones and moves to the end of the helicopter, pulling Katherine with him.
"Don't believe everything you read on the Internet." He scoffs bitterly.
Alice frowns, "What did I say?"
Hellboy grunts and lies back as he occupied two of the seats while Katherine takes the third. He was still bothered with what Baba Yaga told him. The curse she placed on him. What she said about Katherine.
"Hey, Red."
Hellboy looks up at Katherine as she gains his attention.
"Yeah, babe?"
"There's a possibility that I might be the Demon Witch after all." She says.
"What do you mean?" He frowns.
"Alice managed to find more to the story about it. The Demon Witch is actually part of a powerful witch's bloodline and a Demon. Broom doesn't confirm it...but...it makes sense. Which is why I'm considered as 'Queen'. I could carry royal blood. But if I'm a demon...or half...would that make me...evil?"
Hellboy frowns at her question, "Do you feel evil?" He asks
She shakes her head, "No." She sighs, "But it's not Halloween yet."
He reaches out and takes her hand in a gentle grip, "Halloween or not, you're not evil."
She lets out a shuddering breath, "Remember what I said, Hellboy. If anything takes a wrong turn...stop me. Please." Her voice breaks.
Hellboy sits up and cups her face with his human hand, "I'm gonna do everything in my power to make sure you're okay." He says softly and leans to press a kiss on her forehead and holds her close. "I promise." He whispers in her ear.
Katherine couldn't help but worry. The outcome could be too great. She cared about Hellboy and never want anything to happen to him.
"Ridding the world of evil is a dirty business." Daimio scoffs out.
Alice frowns at him, "What's with you and monsters, anyway? One of them touch you funny as a kid? I've been seeing freaky shit my whole life, and if it's taught me anything, it's that hate hides behind the most righteous faces."
"Are you seriously gonna lecture me about faces? Maybe you think I got these scars from shaving." He snorts.
"What happened? I'm not gonna stop asking. You might as well tell me."
