15: Carry On As Normal

..

Corpse's pov

The next morning, we do as we've done for the 12 days we've been here for, we get up, make food, begin our jobs, only this time, the stakes were higher and a lot more tense.

We all knew what was happening and while it didn't actually scare me and Enna, what did, was the fact it was all going tits up.

I head down into the basement and once I hear the front door close, I stand at the bottom of the steps.

"He'll be on his way baby." Enna calls from the kitchen.

"Alright!" I reply and head over to the wall with the door.

"Bug. Bug you there?" I ask, not hearing anything.

"I'm on my way father!" I hear the squeaky, yet rhaspy voice call out as footsteps grow nearer.

I wait until I hear a thud on the wall from him not being able to stop running.

"Get yourself up, get out here and talk." I fold my arms, leaning on the wall.

The wall slowly opens and out creeps the little monster, dragging his feet.

He turns to me and stands, his neck craned and his tail dragging on the floor.

"Father, what did you need to know?" He asks. I sit on the floor and shrug.

"I need to know if you have updates on K. You know how much your mother means to me." I look up at the creature who's stood awkwardly.

"Can I sit too?" He asks.

"Whatever just talk." I nod. He sits infront of me and crosses his legs to the best of his abilities.

"We don't have anything else. We can't find him." He near enough whispers.

"You can't fucking find him? Are you kidding me?! With how many stalkers, monsters big AND small here, you can't find one adverage size, creepy, one eyed man ANYWHERE?!" I snap at him. He jolts and shakes.

"N-no father I'm sorry." He shakes his head rapidly.

"Do you WANT us to stop bringing you all food? Do you want that? Because if you can't find him, and he hurts Enna, that means he can take over, that means he's got his way and you guys won't be getting her treatment anymore. Or mine for that matter, because I'll up and go, do you understand me? We have to keep him from hurting her." I snap, my voice raised and with vemon spitting out.

"Oh Corpse don't shout at him. Come here darling bug." Enna walks down the stairs and opens her arms. The monster infront of me slips and clambers to his feet before skittishly running over to the woman and hugging her round her hips since that's how tall he is without using any of his abilities as a monster.

"THEY CANT FIND K, ENNA! YOURE IN DANGER!" I now begin to shout as I stand up.

"Not so loud! What if the other two come back and hear you shouting this? Then my poor poor babies don't get feeding." Enna's face now wears a smile as she looks down and strokes the animal furr on the top of Bugs head.

"But I understand what you mean." Enna straightens up and looks at me while bug clings to her.

"Thank you." I sigh.

"If we don't get him gone, we don't have this place anymore. He's a threat to everyone and even though I don't want him here anyways, he is here. I don't welcome rapists or sexual assaulters, do I baby?" She looks down at bug again. He twitches and grunts before speaking up.

"No mother you don't. And neither do we." He starts to get rather excited and wiggles a little.

"That's good now get gone. I'll pay you a visit some time soon." She bends down and kisses his head. He bounds up to me so I hold my hand out.

"What is it now?" I ask. He takes something from his little skin pocket and puts it in my hand.

I look at it and then show Enna.

"He's gone and got the radio towers keys. Good lad." I look at him and smile. He wiggles again then bounds into the wall before closing it behind him. We listen to his footsteps grow quiet until we hear nothing.

"Let's go, we don't have anymore time to waste." Enna says, waving her hand at me. I stand up and walk over to Enna. She smiles at me and takes the keys from my hand.

"We found these... In a plant pot." She laughs and kisses my cheek.

"Mhm." I nod and follow her up the stairs.

After letting the horses out, we re-enter the house again to see Sykkuno and Rachell freaking out.

"What happened?!" I ask, seeing the tears in sykkuno's eyes.

"I-I found a diary entry talking about what that siren is and what the creatures are. It's said that the sirens are a being called siren head and if you hear your name through the speakers of his siren you're better dead." Sykkuno shakes.

"And you heard your name didn't you?" Corpse asks, putting on a Shakey voice.

"Yes! Yes I did and--" sykkuno sniffles and sits down on the couch, shaking.

"You don't need to explain. It's okay. We're all protecting eachother, you'll be safe." I say softly, walking over and crouching infront of him.

"But tomorrow, R-Rachell has to do the chicken eggs while I have to feed the cattle and I'll have to do it alone." He sobs into his hands.

"No corpse will do it with you won't you?" I look up at corpse.

"But then you'll be alone and you--"

"Won't you corpse?" I give him a look. He sighs and gives in.

"Yea I'll be with you tomorrow." Corpse nods.

"O-okay t-then." Sykkuno nods, trying to calm down.

"Just be careful Enna and if you need help. Scream." Rachell looks me in the eyes.

"You know I will."
