Growing Flowers

Chapter 14-clocks ticking

Redder stood there lifeless with his eyes filled on the blind demon as it screamed in pain as the knife straight gutted through his heart, blood drool from its head like a waterfall as the demon went and fell directly on the water, it's mouth was gutted open with his eyes shutter. Mara watched as redder retrieve the pocket knife his father gave to him. Mara walked over "what's the point of Thai demon if he doesn't go after us?"mara asked as redder looked at her.

"Maybe scrubo only allows Him to attack if there's fear. If it senses fear he'll come over and ripped you to pieces."redder asked as Mara was confused. "Let's get out of here, we have one more game to play."

They both walked more into the abyss as scrubo formed from the blind demon smiling "it ain't over yet you two, one more game ain't enough for you."he smiled as he vanished.

Redder and Mara walked over more as it was still dark. Redder can feel his lungs tighten for no reason as he bent down as Mara watched "you ok redder?"she asked slowly, not asking another word.

Redder coughed up blood directly from his soul, seeing it spatter on the water "my lungs... they feel tighten like someone or something is trying to take it out of my body.."he asked as he kept walking with Mara more, still feeling more pain in his chest. They kept on walking on the murky water as it was rising to their lower legs as reddersaw the water rising a little bit as there was laughter coming from behind. "What was that?"he asked.

Mara stared at the abyss "it was a hissing like noise. These demons won't leave us alone redder."she asked. She was terrified with her arms both hung up by her chest, chewing half of her finger nails together. Redder glanced back at the Mara with him having no light as he saw a pocket watch coming slowly in the distance from the abyss. Redder and Mara looked at each other as they were confused, Mara could see redders soul is dying out.

They were both silent, no noise nor sounds were heard from them. Redder didn't have any lights nor anything to attract if anything is indeed in front of them. Mara kept hearing breathing like it's getting closer as if the breathing felt like someone is drowning or ticking.

They hear clocks chumming back and forth, standing there lifeless with redders shoulders crouched with his dirty red bow tie still hanging. On for as long as it could. His blue tuxedo was with muddy dirty water drain and stained on him but you can still see the blue shinning through.

Mara can't see with her vision about what that noise was. Angels can't barely hear any noises due to how their power is. Demons on the other hand can hear more quickly and soundproof than an angel could do. They stood there in silence more, redders ear tickles as a way the noise is getting closer and closer more.

The sound of clocks ticking more, with brief of aniexty rolling in redders rain. He heard the clicks more and more as if someone was ready to punch someone during a bell ring. They both heard clapping noises as if someone was watching the two of them through out the entire game.

It was scrubo as he clapped more than few times as he stopped, flying over with his razor sharp green mermaid tail as he smiled as redder and Mara watched behind them, seeing. Him coming out of nowhere. He didn't say anything at all, mostly with him just not saying anything to them. Redder was scared less, Mara watched with a mad look.

Scrubo chuckled than "well I supposed you both came to the last level of mine huh?"he asked. Smiling and laughing nonstop. Redder stood there impatient while Mara got her wings raised up like to have a battle. "Easy there child! Don't want you specks being all naughty!!!"he shouted.

Redder began to spoke up in a hurry "tell us what this damn last game is!"he shouted as scrubo floated there unamused by the way he was shouting. He still smiled with his fur tighten and scrawled with scratches everywhere.  His red eyes glow higher and higher like a dark beam. He was furious like a straight bullet.

"Alright!!!!"he shouted so loud that god doesn't want to hear at all. He smiled with his crooked skull face that's falling apart from his stitching  issues. He waved his hands in a faster way as he was mentally more aggressive. "This last game is all about your time, if you fail you two...(he laughed) you'll suffer and Burn!!"he shouted, disappearing into thin air, showing him slowly whispering giving the both of them heard his whispering slowly, his red eyes still glowing through as clocks appeared out of nowhere by redder as Mara saw levels of heavy metal bars trapped her as she was scared of being trapped.

Redder tried to run as more grandfather clocks appeared, trapping him in place. The clocks were ticking and ticking nonstop s redder began to fear his life now, he glanced down at his hands that were shivering nonstop. He can feel his veins not normal at all as he felt the clocks were ticking louder as Mara watched in horror, trying to scream as scrubo knocked on her cage, telling her to shut up.

"Shut the tuck up child!"he shouted as Mara got jumps-cared, sitting on her butt scared. His red eyes glowed on her "don't you see? You kids are pathetic!"he asked as scrubo sighed, smiling as he grabbed her by the back of her clothing, "let's watch him suffer don't we?"

Scrubo grabbed maras head back against the metal bars in a rush, bruising her head as she watched redder panicking more and more, hearing the clocks chumming in and ticking back i fourth over and over nonstop. He was scared of the way the clocks chin more and more, with the bars singing and dinging. The clocks both ring their heavy bells back in fourth as well.

Redder looked up at scrubo as he smiled, as he felt a sharp pain through his head as he screamed loud like a giant monster. His tuxedo hooked back on himself with redders head flunked backward to face the sky with his mouth open as he was getting mind controlled again. "Make it fuckin Stop!!!!"he shouted loudly with Mara, loosing her father cried, horrified by his screams.

Scrubo peeled more, using and  wasting his energy nonstop, his red eyes still glow harder with his broken halon still showing in place. He hates people, not after what he told to God. Redder hears the clocks more and more as he looked up at each one, getting angry Ss ye begs. By grabbing his fist together as without hesitation he began by ripping out all of the pieces of the clocks, destroying it with his hands as blood began to pour from his skin slowly.

His hands were bleeding with itching, as if his skin is telling him to punch more to make himself even bleed more and more. But he can't control it, at all. Redder can feel his own soul breaking apart one by one, his blood drooling downward from his hand and into the clear water that he's standing on.

Redders eyes were horrified, seeing how much blood that drooled to develop the feeling of agony, his family that died from that smog, the dread he gets that scrubo and his depression never leaves him alone, his thoughts as well. Redder glanced at scrubo, he smiled on how he's treating him, depression isn't a joke redder thought, he got aggressive when he stared into those eyes.
