Day 24+25: Demon/Grave

Egos: Antisepticeye, Robbie the Zombie

Anti sniffed the nighttime air, his black spiky tail swishing against the grass. He growled quietly, frowning, as the taste of grass entered his second stomach before looking down, and his long elf-like ears drooped. His torso looked as if it had been cut into to make a huge hole. However, sharp teeth lined the edges of the hole and, inside, was nothing but teeth of all shapes and sizes. He then grumbled, as he slowly laid down on his stomach then winced as he felt the sharp tug of the collar and chain.

'Stupid humans, shoulda never been fooled by one...' he grumbled quietly, the voice sounding muffled because it was coming from his torso; his face didn't have a mouth, so it needed to be somewhere.

He started picking at the grass when he heard a yawning sound and quickly sat up before looking round. There was someone else here?!

'STAY BACK! I'M A POWERFUL DEMON! NEXT IN LINE TO THE THRONE AND I'LL-'

'Why you yell?' a soft but confused voice suddenly appeared from his left, making the demon jump, a quiet meow-like sound escaping him. His head snapped round to look at the person who had talked and blinked.

He guessed the person was what these humans called a 'child'. He was very small ('I reckon I can eat this thing whole' he thought), wore a very dirty white and purple striped shirt and carried a battered looking teddy bear. His face and eyes were extremely pale, and blood was splattered round his mouth. Anti's ears twitched: that's what he had smelt earlier!

'What are ya doing here?! Fuck off!' Anti snapped, but then yelped as the child hit him on the head with his bear.

'What was that for?!' he snarled, shuffling backwards so the collar wouldn't cut into his throat; if his throat was slit too early, his coronation would be no more.

The child stomped his foot, pouting, 'my mummy and daddy told me that what you say is bad word!' he whined, trying to sound like an angry parent.

The demon growled at him, which got another smack from the bear. Anti tried to swipe at it but missed before glaring at him.

'Why are ya here? To torment me!?' he asked sternly. The child softly smiled, before looking at him then the chain.

'I live here-what all this?' The child answered but then got distracted as he approached the chain. He frowned as he looked at where the other end was; it was dug deep into the ground by a headstone.

'Stupid humans chained me up, all because I ate their king and cursed the princess' Anti growled, but then giggled to himself as if he'd told a hilarious joke.

'You eat hooman too?'

The demon froze; had this child said what he thought he'd said? He slowly turned his head to face him; the child looked expectant, as if what he'd just said was normal.

'Yeah...how did you know?'

The child shrugged, 'coz I do so I thought you might do and then we both do!' he explained then smiled innocently as he finished.

Anti raised an eyebrow then rolled his eyes, 'where are ya...what did ya call them 'mummy' and 'daddy'? Go back to them' he grumbled.

His uninvited guest happily pointed to something near another grave, 'they over there!' he squealed happily.

Anti blinked then followed where he was pointing and tilted his head: the child had pointed to two dead bodies, messily piled on top of each other. It was like they had fallen onto each other and bite marks were evident.

Anti spotted the bodies wide, shocked eyes, then chuckled before slowly turning his head, '...so ya ate them'

'NUH UH! I was hungy and...they were there...' his guest yelled, but then it changed to a mumble as he looked down and fidgeted with the bottom of his shirt.

Anti noticed his guilt and scoffed, 'hey...I don't care. Ya gotta eat.' He said then winced as he felt hunger pains; speak of the devil.

His guest noticed it too, and crouched down to look at the strange mouth, 'hello? You want food?' he asked softly but didn't wait for a response as he wandered over to the two bodies that had been his parents.

The demon then watched with a raised eyebrow as the bodies were slowly, and clumsily, dragged across the grass towards him. When they stopped moving, he watched as the child flopped onto the floor then pointed at the two.

'Ta-da! They don't mind' he said, then started picking at the grass, 'my mummy said that it was ok, and that she loves me very much...' he mumbled, ignoring that Anti had ripped an arm off and was munching away.

'Mmhmm-'

'THEN I ATE HER EYE!' The child then squealed proudly and smiled as his new friend just stared at him.

'Well...like I said, ya gotta eat I guess' the demon mumbled as he didn't stop eating to talk; he was so hungry.

'I Robbie'

Anti looked at the child confused, 'Wha?

Robbie's smile didn't fade as he repeated himself, 'I Robbie' he said then pointed to his grave, 'I live there, and I go sleep now. What your name?' he said, but then tilted his head to ask the question.

Anti blinked: this human was all over the place. However, he finished the bite he was eating, 'I'm Frith.' He looked insulted as Robbie giggled.

'That cute name!' Robbie squealed, not realizing the scowl Anti was giving him.

'It's not cute, it's-HEY I'M TALKING TO YA!' Anti started to growl, but then yelled angrily: Robbie had decided that he was too sleepy to listen to what the demon had to say and had started to wander back to his grave.

'Night night Fish!' he called out softly, giving him a small wave, and Anti snarled.

'IT'S FRITH!!' The demon screeched then huffed as he realized Robbie wasn't listening. He laid down again as he watched the child jump into his grave.

'Stupid human' he grumbled before closing his eyes to nap.
