Her Cold Beast And His Dark Beauty

A SECOND REUNION - PART 2

Third POV

In the lounge, we see the couple tied up separately and sitting on arm stools with duct tape wrapped around their upper bodies, strapping them to the chairs. Also, their arms were taped to the arms of the stools and their legs were taped to the stool's legs with their mouths being taped shut. The culprits made sure to tie them up securely and tightly. They look helpless as one of them has their head hung down. A few bruises can be seen on the woman's face, they are from earlier when they were attempting to prevent her from escaping through the backdoor earlier. One of the beastmen kin had decided to have her silenced, temporarily. Currently, her husband is trying to get his wife to wake up, turns out she was knocked out by one of the beastmen. Carlos catches a scent that was sweet enough to send him to vampire heaven, and then as if on cue the source of the scent comes trouting down the staircase, it is a little girl. She's holding the leg of a stuffed tortoiseshell, black and brown-furred, cat doll in her right hand while holding the railing with her left, still dressed in pyjamas

?Little Girl?: Daddy, I took a bath and drank my medicine, can I go to sleep now?

Carlos coos at the little girl, stretching out his hand to rub her head, as he gives her a sweet smile

Carlos: Hey there little one ~

Even though Carlos looked like a child, he still had an intimidating aura to him yet, somehow this little girl only stood there and stared at him blankly with a hint of sleepiness

Carlos: Oh dear me, that won't do. Mister, you seem to have an extraordinary daughter here like your daughter is-

The man screams at Carlos but he only hums a tune as he quickly covers the child's ears to prevent her from hearing her father's words

?Man?: You bloody bastard! Don't you touch her! She's very precious-!

The man is immediately punched across the face which stops his ruckus. The man's face flies to the side from the impact

Carlos: Language mister, has your wife never told you to mind what you say in front of a child?

Carlos clicks his tongue at the man and then looks back at the child before placing a finger on his lips. The child looks into his eyes and goes silent instantly from fear. He furrows his brows expressing his concern or worries about his outer image in the child's eyes

Carlos: Hey... little girl, do I scare you?

At first, the little girl shakes her head but suddenly starts trembling then rapidly nods her head while looking behind him

Carlos: Do you love your mommy and your daddy?

The child pauses as if looking for a sign from behind the boy then nods furiously once her eyes catch sight of something behind him, the boy doesn't miss it either. Human behaviour is far too easy for him to see through, he grabs hold of the girl's shoulder while continuing to ask her a question

Carlos: Do they take good care of you?

As soon as Carlos' hand makes contact with the little girl's shoulder she winces as if in pain. Carlos retracts his hand as a scent of blood knocks him straight in the face. Already knowing what to expect, when the boy looks at his hand. He still can't help but feel shocked even his face couldn't help but express it. Then it changed to one of horror which is closely followed by anger that could not be bottled at this point. He couldn't continue acting anymore

Carlos: Indeed how precious she is-! I can't stand liars especially dirtbags that use or harm children!

Carlos clutches his hands into fists, they are clenched so tightly that they begin to tremble as he tries to hold back his anger. He turns to the foursome of supernatural beings, one is unconscious and being carried by one of the beast kin while the other two are standing side by side. He forces a smile as he rubs the girl's head while rubbing her head

Carlos: Take her upstairs, put her to bed, and ensure she feels safe and secure. Also, take care of my sister, make sure they don't hear anything from down here

The three beastmen nod as one of them picks up the girl and heads for the stairs, leaving the man who is shaking his head in shock as his voice stutters from disbelief

?Man?: No... The-Ther-re is no w-w-wa-way. I don't believe you. This- this is not- not- not happening to me- us-! Shit!

The man struggles vigorously to free himself

Carlos: Sounds like you'll be sacrificing yourself. So I guess I'll allow it just this once. After all, a bastard like you deserves a chance to redeem yourself right?

The man's anger begins to flare due to a careless move. He sends his chair tumbling to the ground, and the man's build increases rapidly. Like an inflating balloon. It looked like he was going to explode out of his skin. However, it starts to rip at the top of his forehead, while this was happening the expansion of his body didn't stop. The man bellowed a spine-curling scream that sounded demonic to all that heard him. Even Carlos could not describe the type of feeling he felt from this man, just what was he? How come Carlos couldn't sense his abnormal aura or smell this putrid smell when he was within inches of him, but now that he was a few feet away it smelt like this creature was right next to- no, more like this thing was in his face. The smell coming from the man's insides was so putrid and revolting that the beastmen ran up the stairs to get away from the smell due to their sensitive sense of smell

However, whatever came out from inside the man, even causing the railing to break from them went straight through the wooden railing. A splinter enters Pishka's leg causing her to swallow a pain-filled scream. Grunting as her eyes snapped open as she's forced into consciousness from the sudden pain, the training strengthened her but it didn't mean she couldn't feel pain since she was still half-human. She looks around to see the situation, only smelling a disgusting smell and a figure jumping at her. The thing is flicked to the side as Carlos comes to the rescue in the nick of time but the scream of the beastmen fills the room before dying down in seconds. There in the corner of the room is a slimy-looking creature with greenish reptilian skin, one has its neck in the creature's tail and the beast-man is showing a distorted facial expression that seems to be frozen in time. Sadly two of the beastmen were killed and one of them is in said creature's hand, or rather would be more appropriate if it was said that the creature has buried its claws into the beast-man's face, blood and internal skull fluids and organs ooze out in a bubbly and slimy manner. A gruesome sight is what beholds the third. Once the creature turns the third beastman can be said to have been eaten alive as his entire front is missing. Only his internals and skeleton are seen

The smell of blood and the putrid smell coming from the creature fills up the whole room, but the little girl's sudden scream gets the attention of both Pishka and Carlos. The woman said to be the creature's wife, who is tied up to the chairs has broken loose from it by smashing it to bits and pieces when transforming into her true form. and turns out to be a demonic being, but one that is more pleasing to the eyes. Similar to a succubus however she had antennas like an insect and pinchers for her hands and feet, with thin wings on her back. They looked like those a fly or ant with wings would have. She was holding the terrified little girl from the back of her collar, the child's legs are dangling mere inches from the ground causing her to choke from how her shirt was wrapped around her neck. The creature smacks the insect lady's hand, making her drop the child. The child lands on her feet but immediately falls to her knees seconds later due to her lack of consciousness from the lack of oxygen. Carlos moved to try and get the child but the sound that the slime-man served as a warning. Carlos looks up to see the creature staring at him with predator like eyes

Slime-man: Mine, don't touch!?!

It seems that with his transformation he traded his previous intellect for power, speed and strength. Carlos' eyes freeze over as the monster slithers over to the circle, it's tail circling her small frame. Carlos chuckles as he points at the slime monster. Pishka steps forward as the wound, where the splinter from earlier, in her leg heals. She cracks her knuckles as her eyes sparkle in excitement, making the room feel as though it was burning up the two monsters that seem to have come from hell

Pishka: Now I'll grant you your death wish. Don't you know not to wake a sleeping panther? ~

Carlos grins as he steps next to his sister

Carlos: This is going to be fun sis ~

Pishka: Yeah, it's been a while since we had to fight monsters from 'that' realm
