The virus of sins

Part 8:A new guilt to the bucket list.

As he started to re gain his senses, Eni looked at the body again ignoring the fact that Dante hadn't been back yet. It was already nighttime so he would probably be asleep without a care in the world that the woman he oh so loved was rotting away in his basement. Then. It hit him.

The strange smell. The weird cutlets of meat, Arlo eating it unknowingly... and Dante knew. He knew that his own son was basically eating all the evidence that linked him to any crimes.

Eni decided to take a closer look so he tried to lift his head up to investigate and the image that was now carved in his memory was enough to make him throw up.

Her eyes were missing, he tried to find where they were at but the dim lights made it tough along with the shock that he'd went through. The insides seemed to be..dug up by something, most likely for the organs to be removed carefully. And he knew that they were all stored inside the basement but instead of looking around his mind was interested in something else.

He tried to escape the metal handles keeping his hands in place but with no avail and in his fit of rage he realised the blood from the splinters of the chair but that wasn't what was hurting him. He heard a low sound like a recording device and from it came a voice..

"Oh poor kid. I thought you'd get worse eventually but in just half a day? You really are a special experiment and what you'll do is help me get rid of the crime! The fun part is that I'll let you roam around for a while! Have fun in there and remember. Not too much blood spill!"

The room went quiet and the sound of the metal bars unlocking was heard. He was free but he wasn't thinking of escaping. His eyes focused on the corpse and some of the guts still inside it.

Eni tried to calm down and snap out of it but the smell only made him think of the stew he had eaten some days before.. especially the meat.. now he had a limited supply and if it meant eating raw guts he'd do it just to find that taste again.

He reached out and grabbed some of the organs, the blood dripping from his hands as he bit down, tears already running across his face but his instincts said otherwise.

He snapped out of this rather slow and when he looked at his hands Eni realized his mistake and started crying. His humanity was destroyed as he tasted the blood. It made him throw up and he passed out again.

The next nights quickly went by the same way until one evening he heard banging from the door..

"Eni?? Eni!! Are you in here?!?! Answer me!!"

It was Arlo. And Eni knew he had to act quickly. He pushed the corpse back into the corner and tried to make it look as normal as possible for Arlo to not realize what had happened.

When opening the door, Arlo came in contact with the smell surrounding the area. It was blood but he didn't know from where. He found Eni tied up on the chair, looking at him with a deadly stare.

Arlo managed to break him out of the chains rather easily and as soon as that happened, Eni grabbed his arm jumping onto the window and running off into the woods with Arlo.

But their suffering was just beginning as the evidence Eni left behind was enough for Dante to make up his alibi...
