A.A.M.S

later, as expected i kinda felt bad for beating them both up. i couldnt imagine what death might do to them. also i still had the nagging feeling that there may have been somethign wrong about something. a person does not go from lazy, to crazy, to absouletly beligerent and trying to kill a high ranking demon. obviously by saying ‘a few leaky jars’ i mean there is a poisin that's going to infect this place if the proper things are not taken care of. I pulled at my chin and said to myself, “what do we do when we have leaky jars?”
then i came to me, perhaps i should not have said that to heir. surely death would understand what i meant. and then she would purge the city, and sanatize it. just as we did to get rid of the poisin.
“and then she said, “it seems like the underworld has a few leaky jars.”, heir said after explaining rather ashamed of what happened as somethign shrieked from the chair he was chained to.
death looked at him blankly, and then everyone said the exact thought that was racing through her head, “what the here does that mean?”
heir shrugged and reverted to his bunny liek self and sat down with a sigh of relief. cat looked at him then at death and asked, “are you sure this girl istn insane? i mean, honestly we should just kill her.”,well, i say asked, but honestly she grumbled.
death blinked slowly and turned her head slowly over to cat, she didn't have to speak, for she was death, and death is always silent in the end. cat did not need to hear ehr speak to know she thought it was wrong for cat to keep a grudge. cat huffed and seemed to pout. the pimp from before nwo spoke, “i propose we set the hounds on her.”
this time it was another persons turn to speak, it was a creature with a multitude of arms, all splayed about like they had been broken and hanging with skin. heir quietly leaned away from it with a blank face as the things arms waggled and dripped blood everywhere, it shrieked at the pimp , “worm! are you an idiot? if we make him bleed than he can get away, i think she proved that when she was in this room before.”, it slammed it's hands on the table, and blood splattered onto the table. cat quietly edged back in her seat and gently brushed a few bits of skin away from her clearign ehr throat. the creature looked at her and smiled a bunch of multilayered yellow and black sharpened teeth ,”sorry abotu that my lady.”
cat gave a fake polite smile and winked at it, “oh you charmer you.”
“because you know throwing a few bit of skin and blood and the like at the women is charming.”, another person chimed in. this time, they all craned to see who it was. it was the man from before, which alice couldnt quite describe after seeing him. if she saw him now then she would have an even harder time describing him, he was still the usual pale skin, black hair and blue eyes a typical hot demon, but now black smoke dribbled out of his mouth every time he spoke, and his eyes glowed red as they smoked as well.
the pimp form before snapped, “oh shut it smokey.and you to centipede, and it's a her, not a he.”
“are you sure?”, the creature asked hissing slightly in a curious tone.
heir spoek up, “yes, she is female.”
smokey spoke, “doesnt she look familiar though, perhaps she is a demon?”
“you're all very dumb,” cat spoke with a sigh, she bit her cigerette filter and said as smoke billowed out of ehr mouth, “she is simply just a witch, just a human.”
“still, didn't she menton a curse on someone she knew?”,smokey asked.
“lets not forget she is a blood crone.”, heir said looked disheveled as he put his elbows on the table and looked annoyed, “and the curse is on her mother.”
“oh so shes simply a witch who is trying to save her mommy?”, the pimp said chuckling.
this time it was a raven demon spoke, she cawed and the feathers on her face that blended into hair stood up in annoyance, “you may not think it's funny but humans get easily attached. and will do many things to protect them.”, she stood up straight by the side of death, her black hair was long feathers dripping down her back and her teeth showed bright white glimmering like pearls among her pale gums.
“we cant argue with that can we malvina?”, cat sighed and continued with a smile towards the girl, “not with you being the right hand of death.”
malvina looked slightly surprised and nodded feverently. the truth of the matter was that malvina was the little kid of the group. and everyone treated her with utmost care because she was deaths favorite. cat was second, and thought of malvina as a little sister. heir edged slightly away from malvina, he was now the least favorite of death, but was never really favored ehr in the first place of course.the atmosphere quickly lessened from it's previous hostile feeling. a group of three demons with scales came walkign into the room, they placed down sets of tea cups with warm red liquid in them with a rattle of beads for the ladys in the flapper like dresses and a shuffle sound of silk on silk for the men. silently they moved back while holding their carrying plates and seemed to disapear into the walls. heir looked at the liquid in front of him and swallowed hard. malvina smiled as she grabbed her cup and said, “well then everyone, prijatnovo apetita!”, and sipped at it.
at this everyone, including death who reached towards her cup and made a ‘come here’ motion with her finger at the cup adn it slid quickly into her hand, gulped down the liquids in the cup. at least, it seemed everyone. but heir, while everyone was distracted drinking, simply looked at his liquid, swallowed and turned around and poured it on a plant. with a heavy and relieved sigh he put down his cup with everyone else. “now back to this issue of the girl.”, he said.
“yes, indeed that is a problem. among other things”, malvina said looking at heri as she spoke, just a hint of menace behind her voice made heir flinch. she fiddled with her cup and spun it slightly while looking at him, he swallowed hard staring at her hand. suddenly she clapped her hand delightedly, everyone looked at her and she beamed, “but i might have a solution to that.”
