Hell's Heart

Segment 3

Segment 3

Subsection 1

The blood soaked ground shows only the sign of the devil itself resting upon it. The mark that the beast has left showing it now has a purpose. No life is near, the city streets are filled with the sound of burning wood and flesh as if they were touched by the hand of Death himself. Drying blood sprinkles the area, a mix of red and blue liquid falling from the skies on the dead morning. The still air reeks of rotting corpses left to burn in peace.

The silence is broken. A figure appears in the sky above, as a dark cloud looming imminent death over the horizon. The black silhouette of Death himself falling from the heavens falls closer, as if the gap between living and dead is being demolished and the living will share a life among the dead. The silhouette stops with a bone crushing force, landing with a pool of green to surround it. The flowing liquid drains from its body, slowly forging a symbol that was given to it. It rises.

Blake stands, dripping his new blood, he waits. Waits for the cold touch of death to embrace him and take him to the dream he desired. Alas Death did not sweep his cold blade across the defenseless skin of what use to be a man. But still, Blake with high hopes, stands looking to the sky for his answer lets out a blood curdling scream to the heavens.

F1: TAKE ME! JUST DO IT! FINISH ME OFF! SWEET BELOVED DEATH GRIP ME BY THE ARM, TAKE ME UNDER FOR YOU ARE THE ANSWER TO MY PAIN! TAKE ME WITH YOU, DRAG ME DOWN TO THE DARKEST DEPTHS OF HELL. DEMON RELIEVE ME OF MY SUFFERING TAKE MY LIFE! TEAR THIS LIFE FROM MY BODY, EMBRACE ME! LEAVE ME EMPTY! DESTROY MY LIFE AND YOU SHALL BE FORGIVEN. TAKE ME UNDER YOUR WING! SPILL MY BLOOD CREATURE! KILL ME, SMITE ME DEMON!

Blake turns as he hears a laugh.

F1: Show your face and you will not be harmed!

The unknown voice’s laugh seem to come from all sides, dancing around Blake. Blake reaches for the blade left from a fallen comrade. The laughs grow louder. The blade glows red as Blake’s hand goes to touch it, the voice speaks.

UV: I wouldn’t do that... eheheheh

Blake turns to see a mist vanish from sight.

F1: I know you’re there, face me creature!

UV (singing):

Ring around the rosie

Pocket full of posie

Ashes

Ashes

We all fall down

Ehehehe

F1: Show yourself! Enough games!

UV: As you wish....

Blake’s limbs grow limp as they are tied to the air. His blood begins to boil, bubbling and oozing out of his skin. A creature of black mist appears in front of him.

UV: You need to be careful young one. The creatures will hear you scream. You don’t want the creatures to hear you scream, oh no that would not be in your best interest.

F1: I will do as I please! Release me monster!

UV: You speak with such harsh words. Why would I let you go, look I can make you dance.

UV controls Blake’s blood causing his arms and legs to move in a dance. Blake bickers and complains while being toyed around.

UV: See look we can have fun together, just the two of us, dancing among the stars. Can you see it? All the little Angels are paired up. Ready? On my lead. And 1 and 2 and 3. How do you feel Mr. Carter? Do you feel better now that you have danced your fears away? You know it’s better to relieve yourself of this stress before something happens. Dancing can do just that, just look at all the Angels dancing and singing together. Don’t you want to join them?
