Ðêvïl§ Ðêår [Howdy x Wally story]

Ch: 27

Howdy and Wally were again, walking along a path. Howdy was trailing behind, but luckily his boyfriend stood beside him and made sure to stop whenever howdy was tired.

It was sundown, almost night. And the wind was cold, howdy and wally were talking. Howdy explained how he got a role as a priest, and Wally didn't say much about his own life. Until howdy got a question to ask Wally.

"Hey uhm..Wally" howdy Said "yes?" Wally replied "if..if your a demon. You can take any form right?" Howdy asked "not all demons do. But yes I can" Wally said "is that form you just...made up?" Howdy said "what do you mean?" Wally questioned "well- I mean I've seen your other forms. And I'm just wondering, are you taking someone else's or is this your natural and true form?" Howdy said. "No. No this isn't someone else's form. I used to not be a demon howdy, 1619. I was a puppet just like you. Till I made bad decisions" Wally said "really?" Howdy said "yeah..I suppose you can say I really messed up my life back then." Wally said "what did you do?, I mean in your life. And your acts" howdy said "well" Wally sighed "I was born into wealth. My original name was Wallace Delirah Darling the 4th." Wally said "and let's just say, I was a very bratty kid. A spoiled teenager. Then a ruthless adult....but one day I thought that wasn't enough. Even if I had more than others I still wanted more." Wally said "so..I started what's called, a cult." Wally said "cult?" Howdy said "yes. A cult, I'd...I'd sacrifice young people to get anything I wanted...and I mean it worked. For a bit..until I noticed the changes in my life. Like my own hands, my skin was turning more paler and my eyes were dripping black substances. My servants actually thought I was a demon. Making me go on trial myself.." Wally said. "I was sentenced to death, and I was put to death by water." Wally said

"But when I arrived to what I thought was my eternal punishments. I was bounded or..gifted?, a role as a demon. A demon who Bounty hunts and kills puppets who deserve to be punished..." Wally said. And howdy was quiet, he was one of those Puppets..the ones who deserved to be punished. He remembered why he even met Wally in the first place. The woman..the lie he told, not helping her, and even setting her aflame himself.

They arrived at a path that was familiar to howdy..too familiar. "What's wrong?" Wally asked "I've seen this path before." Howdy said "you come out here this far away?" Wally said "no. No I've never been more than 3 miles away from the village" howdy said. He put his lips in a line, his antennas twitched "something doesn't feel right." Howdy said. Howdy turned his head to the side. As if he felt like they were being watched.

Both howdy and wally heard a twig crack and they turned around. Wally walked over to a bush from where the sound was. And saw it was just a rabbit.
"Oh thank the lor-" "none of that." Wally stopped howdy's sentence. And howdy put his hands up with a smile. But they both were quiet when they heard hallow footsteps.

They both turned their heads. And howdy's eyes widened.

They were seeing flame light from afar..

"We got to hide" Wally said grabbing onto howdy's hand and quickly, they hid beside some close up trees. And the footsteps got closer until howdy saw maybe the whole village holding torches, some of them are rocks, the injured priests holding chains and ropes. And the only injured sister, holding holy water. Howdy watched as the village walked past them.

Wally reached over and gently held onto howdy's hand. When the coast has cleared, Wally and howdy got out of their hiding spots.

They continued to walk the other way from where the others were. A few minutes past, and they were both still quiet

Howdy started to get the feeling he...saw this before. The path, the intertwined hands..he realizes that he had seen them before. While he was passed out..In the court as well.

Howdy stopped dead in his tracks "what's wrong?" Wally asked "Wally-" then they heard stomps and propelled voices..oh no.

Howdy turns and saw father admonish and other priests, along with other puppets. They must've found them while following the other villagers "GET THEM!" Admonish ordered.

"GO!" Wally said and they both started to run, it was difficult for howdy, with the pain and cut in his back he was a little bit behind. His mind raced with thoughts

'I've seen this' 'I've seen this before' 'how have I seen this before?, how did I even know before it happened?'

But howdy saw Wally take a sharp left into further in the woods. And howdy's eyes widened.

'No.'

Howdy tried to keep up

'No..'

Howdy was then tackled and pushed to the ground. "You will be punished." Father admonish said to howdy. And howdy flinched when he felt something very sharp touch his arm. He looked over and his eyes widened.

Sharped chains. The chains were used for puppets being out to death, but only if the victim were to escape or try to, they would put the chains on the puppet to make them bleed out. So they wouldn't be so strong and energy filled. Howdy shouted in pain when the chains were wrapped around each limp, from his bottom arms to his chest and a a few spikes on his neck.
And pulled on tightly.

Tears fell down howdy's eyes and he tried to search for Wally, but Wally must've ran to far away.

"WALLY!" Howdy shouted, "father Wally will be punished too. Especially when I found out both of you are two sinners. Demons in disguise, hiding amongst the people of god." Admonish said.
A few priests pulled howdy up and made Wally walk. And his chains were tied to a horse. So howdy couldn't get out of the church's grasp, anymore.
