| Chapter 14 Acro paced the room in his lair. He was beginning to lose patience with his creation. He summoned for Hailahk and Divad sometime ago, but they too were nowhere to be found. Acro sat on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He envisioned having Sam chained in one of his dungeons below and torturing her to no end. He smiled as he saw the Blue Lewej in his hand and the destruction of both the human and demon world. He sat well with this thought until, the spirit returned flying about as though it were attacked. Acro sat up and witnessed the spirit trying to get back into the jar. �Where is the girl?� The spirit did not give him anything, instead began to change color and disappeared into thin air. Acro threw the jar across the room and let out a thunderous roar. �She will pay.� He looked out the window and did not see the barrier anymore, nor could he sense the aura of Odeda. This frustrated him even further and he scowled. There was another presence near though, a power that was just awakening. He couldn�t tell whose power it was and he began to swing wildly and desperately needed a good kill. Confused and angered, Acro crossed his arms in front of him like an x and began chanting. A dark circle encompassed his body, his eyes turned jet black, and he lifted his hands high into the air. A fierce wind blew in all directions knocking over just about everything in the room. His hands, arms, and legs grew fur. His fingertips became long sharp nails, and his head turned into a wolf�s head. His back cracked and turned as his spine split into many pieces so that Acro was now hunched over. His human teeth became long and sharp, the jeans he wore shredded, as well as his shirt. His shoes were completely destroyed. When the transformation was complete he let out a ghastly howl and began foaming at the mouth. �This time, you will be mine.� He turned at the feel of wind blowing in his direction. A portal containing Hailahk and Divad had opened. The two hideous creatures hobbled over to Acro, with blood on their claws and mouth. �You finished it?� Acro�s voice was demonic, yet still held the tone of a human. The two nodded their heads and smirked. Acro barred his teeth at them and they coward in fear. �I have another job for the two of you. I want to you to go back and find the human I took earlier. She shouldn�t be hard to find. Follow her aura and bring her back unharmed.� Hailahk nodded at his request and turned to go back through the portal. Divad did not move. He glared at Acro. �Did you hear me you fool! I said go!� �What about your promise to us? We have done our job, we helped you get rid of the human friends and we helped you find a human body. I want my fare share, where is my cut of the deal?� Hailahk beckoned for Divad to stop, but he shrugged her away and limped closer to Acro. Standing tall, Acro took up his large, sharp claw. �You want your cut demon, here it is.� Acro slashed down at Divad, cutting him into five pieces. His black blood splattered everywhere landing on everything, including Hailahk who now shivered in fear. Acro jumped in front of her and pushed her against a wall. He could smell the fear in her as well as the dried human blood on her lips. She did not look up at him. �You want your cut to�Hailahk?� He was inches away from her. Hailahk still did not answer and Acro grabbed her by the throat, slamming her into the wall again. A dent was created in her form. � I asked you a question. Do you wish to challenge me too?� �No�no my Lord�please let me go. I will fulfill your every wish. You shall have the human girl by tomorrow I promise.� Pleased with her writhing between his claws, Acro threw her down and she hobbled over to the portal before disappearing completely. He let out another ghastly howl and then vanished out of the room. His laugh echoed in the halls of his lair. |
