Arbatian Mental Institution

Ch.19 Revenge

Lenny drops down as glass splinters into rainfall across the recreation room. Clients scream as glass hits their bodies at various locations. Lenny rolls under a table and looks around the room nervously.

"What the hell just happened?!", he looks around confused and scared.

Delkatov begins to run to the double doors. He lunges forward splintering the doors into pieces. The bronze statues fall to the ground breaking apart into multiple fractures. Mrs.Cranston jumps up and locks her sights on the creature. He runs down the hallway ignoring her. The floor shakes as multiple demons come rushing in.

Dr.Arbatian sits in his office lighting a cigar as a light earthquake rumbles outside. He smiles and takes a puff, "So it's time huh? Well can't live forever I suppose. I'm ready my old friend."

Three creatures turn and jump the counter pouncing on Mrs.Cranston. Two hold her down while one breaks her ribs apart pulling them outwards as they snap like frail tree branches. It pulls her heart out and shoves it into her mouth violently digging it's claws into her face.

In his office Dr.Arbatian takes one last taste of his cigar and exhales as his body forms into a pile of ashes.

In the recreation room Lenny starts to stand up when the doors break off the. Creatures of unimaginable horror come flying in. Some crawling on the walls, few on the ceiling. One runs up to Kiel, its body morbidly obese. The skin seemed to be covered in oil or grease, it's head was a blank mannequin.

The skin atop it's head separates and widens while picking up Kiel and the wheelchair. Large daggers for teeth slither out forming a mouth. He raises Kiel above and drops it. Its teeth start to grind and pulverize both Kiel and the wheelchair into a dilapidated mangle of meat and metal.

A pale thin creature grabs a girl screaming trying to run away, it pulls on her tangled hair peeling her scalp back. She falls down as the demon bores into her eye sockets cracking her skull in into two broken halves. Staff and clients alike are ripped apart as the floor becomes a lake of blood. Body parts and intestines splatter on the walls and floors.

Lenny tries to run but his legs turn to jello. He falls to the ground and tries to crawl backwards. In the midst of all the creatures, one walks between them looking like a normal human. Except for a tight laceration in it's face. He walks towards Lenny as it opens up revealing a dark yellow eye.

Completely naked it slithers his fingers into his chest and pulls the skin back. Exposing his insides Lenny sees darkness in the hole. Pink veins shoot out wrapping around Lenny. He fights back gripping the vines but they burn his hands like acid. His hands sizzle while skin slides from them like melting cheese.

Quickly the veins burn into his body squeezing tighter, slowly breaking down layers of tissue and bone. He drops to his knees screaming. Falling sideways the veins begin to lure him into the void. Lenny shakes and twitches, the veins steadily getting tighter. Lenny's right eye pops halfway out his skull as his body is slowly swallowed into the gap. The demon's skin closes back up afterwards.

Delkatov runs through the reception area on all fours, Nurse Penny gasps as he breaks the desk apart running through it. Her and the other staff flee down a hallway cornering themselves. One of them grabs a nearby staff like a shield as urine trickles down her calf.

Delkatov inhales a deep breath and exhumes heavy fumes of fire. The heat is so intense and swift that they melt and fuse together in a large puddle of melted flesh and bone.

Other demons come running down the hallways ripping doors off the hinges and jumping in mauling the individuals. Lola sits in her room as the stink of death begins to linger in. She rubs her stomach as Delkatov rips her metal door off.

"I just don't care anymore. I'm ready.", she talks in-between tears.

Delkatov walks in lugging his heavy body. It drops to one knee, in a hoarse voice it replies, "Princess Lola, we've come to save you."
