Smii7y+ House And The Descendents Of Revenge

Chapter 9- The Breaking Of Truth

After a few hours, John, Droid and Pezzy would arrive in a bedroom. Knowing how dire John's situation was, they just went into the first bedroom they came to.

Droid and Pezzy would carefully place John on the bed, and would start looking around in draws and cupboards for a first aid kit, or at least some bandages.

"Anything yet?"

"Nope. But I'll keep looking."

"Alright. I'll do the same. Worse comes to worse, we'll just use the bedsheets."

As Droid and Pezzy looked around for something to help John, John would be thinking to himself. It was clear he found something wrong, this whole experience was too quiet to makeway for anything good. Inferno hadn't attacked at all since they arrived at the mansion, and this deeply concerned John.

Considering what John knew about Inferno, it was only a matter of time before he attacked, and it would be when they were at they're most vulnerable.

"Any luck yet?"

"Nope. I've searched every cupboard and drawer, and there's nothing."

"Same here. We might have to use the bedsheets. It's something at least."

"Yeah. Better than nothing. How are you John?"

"Better now I've had a rest, so I could recover. But it does worry me that Inferno hasn't attacked. It's not like him to not attack, he lives for the hunt, and will take any opportunity he can to attack. The only thing I can think of to explain it, is that Inferno is plotting something bad, way worse than anything he's ever done before."

"I understand your concern John, but don't think on it too much, it's not good for your head."

"Hey guys. Look at this."

"You found bandages?"

"No. Unfortunately not. But I have found some kind of note. It might help us."

"Well, what does it say?"

"It reads as follows

'He grows ever stronger with the passage of time, feeding on my essence, exploiting the shadows of my fears. He weaves a web of deceit, bending my will to his dark desires.

I have risen against him countless times, yet each attempt only deepens my torment. My strength wanes; I can no longer resist.

I pen these words in desperate hope that they reach a soul brave enough to confront him. His downfall is my only salvation. I must endure, for freedom lies just beyond the horizon.'

No idea in hell what it means though, or who wrote it. Any ideas?"

"That's a bit forboding, isn't it? You just randomly find a note and it reads that."

"Yes. But do you know what it means?"

"Not the faintest."

"Well shit."

"You guys really are dumbasses aren't you? The basic idea is that some evil being lives inside an innocent being's head, and feeds off of their fears, growing stronger each time.

This evil is torturing the innocent to get what they want, even if it goes against their host's morals. Despite what the innocent being has done, they can't win against the parasite in their head.

This is the innocent being's cry for help, they know they can't win, and that the evil being's power has grown. They've been holding on, knowing someone will save them. It's really that simple."

"I want to know how you worked that out, but it doesn't matter right now. Maybe another time."

"Wait. Droid. You said Inferno wasn't always evil. What if Inferno was the innocent being that left this note? What if we are the ones that need to free him? I mean afterall, we found the note right?"

"You might be on to something Pezzy. But right now we still have questions that need to be answered. But I guess we'll find them on the way."

"Droid. Pezzy. There is more to this web of horrors than meets the eye. But we will find answers, and unravel the truth. It's time to embark on this journey of darkness, and save Inferno from his endless torment."

With that, John rose to his feet, a determined glint in his eyes as Droid and Pezzy regarded him. They had come seeking revenge, yet now found themselves on a mission to rescue Inferno—a being once deemed an enemy, now embraced as a friend. Caution lingered in their hearts; trust in Inferno was a fragile thread. But the moment to shatter the cycle had finally dawned, and it rested upon John, Droid, and Pezzy to seize their destiny.
