The Forbidden Child

Chapter 16 | The Heartless Soldiers

"The moon will guide you through the night with her brightness, but she will always dwell in the darkness, in order to be seen."

Ryder (P.O.V)

"I know your here" I said in a menacing playful tone. "Why don't you all just come out and play?"

If they think that they can escape the horror from us, well they have a lot of hell coming amongst them all. The Dark Lord wanted as much information of the heavenly castle and he will most definitely get it with me in charge.

The smell of sickeningly, sweet metallic scent of blood were sense across the entire room. It was quiet, so very quiet that you couldn't have have heard a critter pass through. Colours of red can be seen painted on the walls, floorboards and windows. Not to mention the stains it created on my clothes.

"There's no one here left, except the dead bodies we thrown outside in front front of the building". Damien sneered. "Let's leave this shit now".

"No we won't be going until we get what we came here for Damien!" I scowled back. "They are definitely here, I can feel it".

"Well I am sure no one is breathing anymore except for us! I'm gonna wait outside with the others" Rae complained as the others followed her.

I look at Damien who gave me a slight nod, signaling me that he was also going to step outside to join the others as well. Looking around the building for the final time made me believe that there was probably no one left. As I was about to head off I suddenly heard a quiet creaking sound coming under the floorboards. I frowned and stomped my boot hard on the floor, making the whole building shake. Immediately there was a slight whine.

They never learn.

"HERE!" I shouted loud enough for my team to hear.

The gang came barging through the doors in a hurry and help up their weapons.

"Where are they?" Seth asks.

"Take out the boards" I commanded.

As I said those words we all started to rip out humongous amounts of floorboards. Ripping, throwing and breaking up the the boards to pieces until we finally found what we wanted. A group of many different kinds of demons of both men, women and children hiding and comforting each other in fear.

"Well, well, well what do we have here Ryder?" Damien glanced down.

"P-please d-don't hurt us! We have kids down here with us" A demon stuttered. "I am begging you sir, please have m-mercy".

"Hurt?" Seth sniggered. "We're not gonna hurt you mate".

The demon that spoke sighed in relief. "Thank the Dark Lord". As the group of demons exit out of the hole they were hiding and stood face to face in front of us.

"We're gonna kill you of course" Seth smiled, finishing his sentence while locking the bar doors tightly.

The demons eyes met our eyes and gave us all a terrified look on their faces, as if they were begging for mercy.
