Mr.Bloodbath

Chapter 10 Old Stereotypical Haunted Mansion

October 12th, 2017-Theo

Theo sat at the bar stool, looking over the evidence of the Bloodbath deaths. All were the same; a single to multiple small stab wounds, all deep. No fingerprints, no forensic evidence, just wounds. But they all had something in common, the victims were close to Theo and the other detectives working on the case. Theo sighed and ordered a shot of Four Roses whiskey.

He leaned back and drank the shot of whiskey and set the shot glass down. The door opened, Theo turned and saw a normal looking business man with a briefcase enter the bar. The man sat next to Theo and ordered a glass of Samuel Adams beer. The bartender poured a glass of Samuel Adams and handed it to the man.

"Hard day at the office?" The bartender asked.

"You have no idea," The Man said, taking a drink of the beer. "This guy wouldn't leave me alone, it makes me want to rip his windpipe out."

The Man turned to Theo, who looked up from his work. Taking another drink The Man said, "Guess who?" Uh-oh, Thought Theo. Why now? The lights turned out. Blood started dripping from the ceiling.

"Why are you so hard to kill?" The Man said in a demonic voice. "You're like a cockroach, you always come back!"

Someone screamed, and intestines flew and hit Theo. "Why are you so PERSISTENT!" The Man yelled. Another person screamed, the lights turned back on, and these words were written on the wall in blood: "LET'S HAVE SOME FUN, THEO". Theo looked around, he was no longer in the bar. He was in the entrance hall of an old mansion. Theo then heard a child singing.

"Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are..."

Theo followed the voice up the stairs, he heard the voice again. "Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are..." Theo turned right, and walked down a hallway. He stopped at a door, and heard the child singing the same line behind the door. Turning the knob slowly, Theo opened the door. He saw a bedroom with a child playing with a stuffed bunny in the center.

"Hello...?" Theo asked. "Are you okay?"

The child didn't respond, just sang the line again. Theo walked over to the child. He tapped the child on the shoulder. The child spun its head around all the way. Theo screamed, the child had no eyes and was missing a jaw. Its tongue hung loosely. His eyes were blood red, and he was wearing a miniaturized version of The Man's suit. "Twinkle twinkle little star..."

"That's not a real kid," A voice behind Theo said. "Leave it."

Theo turned to see Reaper standing in the doorway. He had daggers in both hands. He was also wearing a long black robe. "Oh, good. I need help. How did I get here?" Theo said in relief. Reaper just sighed and shook his head. "Mr.Bloodbath summoned you here." He said. All of a sudden the child lunged at Theo. He pulled out his Glock 22 and shot the "Child" Three times, twice in the chest, once in the head. The demon screamed and fell to the ground.

"What was that," Theo said, confused. "Why did it scream like that?"

"That, my friend was a demon child," Reaper stated. "They are commonly used as slaves."

Theo shook his head, and checked his ammo. He reached in his bag, and grabbed his laser and reflex sight attachments, and his flashlight. He attached the mods and turned on his flashlight. Walking out into the hallway, he heard the grumbling of another demon. "You do realize that bullets don't work on Mr.Bloodbath, right?" Reaper inquiries.

"Yeah, I had a pretty up close experience of what he does with them," Theo replies. "It's pretty awesome."

He walked down the hallway, looking in every room. They reached the last room and a demon jumped through the door. Theo shot twice at it and missed. The demon ran at Reaper, who cut its head off. Theo realised he hadn't turned the laser on. He switched it on, and turned back. He reached the landing and looked around. Theo decided to walk away from the stairs. Walking down the hallway, he heard pained groaning. Turning to the right, he saw a woman leaning against the wall. She had a huge gash across her chest. Blood was gushing from the wound, it was so vicious, Theo wondered how she was alive.

"He-Help...me," The woman said with great difficulty. "The monsters..."

The woman staggered and fell. At that moment, a demon jumped onto her from behind. She screamed in pure agony as the monster tore a huge chunk of flesh and bone from her shoulder. Then, demons seemed to pour from the walls. Blood and bits of flesh and organs flew everywhere as the monsters tore the woman apart with no mercy. Theo and Reaper turned and ran down the stairs in pure terror.

They were almost to the door when Mr.Bloodbath appeared in front of them. He was leaning on a Hellish pimp cane and wore a demonic cape.

"Aren't my pets cute?" He asked...
