Darkness of Emotion

Hellhounds are Idiotic

Why am I not surprised?The next day, we went to the park. At the park, my mom followed us like a creepy stalker. Anyway, we had tons of fun. Scarlet brought a picnic, while I supplied the board games.The day was perfect, with sunshine, and winds, just right. Right when we were going to leave, we heard a screech. Not a screech of pleasure, but the one when you are cut or hurt or something of that sort. We ran there, only to find a pool of blood. It was kind of freaky, seeing a pool of blood with nobody leading to or from it. Then there was that hellhound. It was just standing there, staring at us. Not sure if that was a good sign.

My landlady urged us to get into the car. "Quick kids. Before the hellhound starts running."

"Why? Is that thing bad? Why do you care what happens to us?"

"Because I am your Landlady, child. Now, both of you- IN THE CAR."

Just when it seemed to me that the day could not get any weirder, that stupid hellhound started chasing my mom's car. We stopped in the middle of the highway because Mom was out of gas. That was interesting because she was full when we started and our "rest spot" was not more than 15 minutes away from the park. Then the hellhound howled.

Our car broke completely.

The hellhound came toward us and clawed at my mom. Scarlet just stood there frozen. I knew what she was thinking. This exact same thing had happened when our sisters had disappeared. Except that day our moms had gone out shopping. Anyway, the hellhound just scooped up my mother and lifted her up to its mouth. Then it said, "Nah, I'll want my master to give you a painful death; one much more painful than getting chewed by my teeth."

The hellhound put Mom into it's pocket and then turned to us. "Now for all the dragon blood. You know, your mom has some in her too, but her's is not as pure as yours. She will now be left to the mercy of Feeling." He began a gruesome ritual which involved burning trees and haunting flute and lute music. That stupid hound's music sounded like a dying cow. Then he took Mom and put her next to the burning fire. Mom screamed like her life depended on it (it kind of did) and started cursing randomly. Well, Scarlet and I were used to it, but obviously, the hellhound was not. He started saying things like "Such improper language" and " You, idiot! What do you think Master will think of you." All of Mom's screaming was dying down and even Scarlet and I were starting to panick.

After a while, the screaming died down and her body fell limp. Mr. Hellhound decided that the ritual was over and put her in his pouch and flew away. Yes, he had wings. Somehow, Landlady fought againt the thing midair. But in the end, the hellhound got the better and stowed her in his pouch.

We realized that we had to keep moving, so we did. Wen knew that there were bigger things at work in the Universe. But we did not know how big, and surely did not expect to find out.
