Wholly Undead 194 At The Edge Of Insanity

Jack saw someone coming close to him in the darkness of this abyss, even with the flas.h.i.+ng of various memories around him. He had been falling in this abyss for a long period of time he felt. Though he had no concept of time in this domain, he could only find that he had enough time to think about Emily's and his current situation... Until...

From a long way, until he came close he floated down to meet this Skeleton.

The Skeleton he met at the bottom of the abyss mimic'd all of his actions, and after just a bit of though found that it was just his reflection.

[Why is there a mirror at the bottom of Emily's soul... Or... Is this the bottom of her memories to be exact?] Jack wondered to himself, as he floated just above the rippling surface of the mirror-like land.

Unperturbed and now calm, Jack looked long into the distance surround him now in this mirrored land. He could see various edges of the walls in this s.p.a.ce... Black stone walls lined all around in a circle long in the distance. After a few minutes of searching along one of the Black stone walls, Jack found a series of white doors, with iron chains binding the doors. Only one of the doors had the chains broken, and still swinging as if recently touched.

[...This has to be a trap... Walking into the spider's web, is it?] Jack came to a conclusion, as he approached the only chain broken door. He brought his hand to his chin, as Jack fell into thought...

[What is the nature of these doors...? Sealed memories? Buried memories? Why would the Spider Dunce lead me into one of these... Is it simply to retreat or is there a set up in here... Hmmmm.]

"Thup" "Thup" "THUP"

Startled, Jack looked to his left to a chained door that was being smashed from the other side. The chains that secured the door rattled again and again with each hit as if someone was beating on the door from the inside.

[What... the h.e.l.l...] Jack watched as the door became silent again.

[Are the connected from the inside, or is that some kind of monster hidden down here besides the Spider b.i.t.c.h???]

Shaking his head, [I'm not going to go through this side to where the Spider a.s.s is... I'm going to see what's thumping inside... f.u.c.k her plan.]

Jack reached over and gripped the chains on the door to the left. He squeezed hard and pulled at the same time, and with a loud metallic ring the chains broke, falling to the floor.

Jack had quickly stepped to the side, expecting the door to be blown open, but found it was still quite...

[That's... Odd...] Jack felt, but considering he was currently standing in a metaphysical realm that was expressed in a way that could be understood while residing inside another soul, he found something odd.

[It feels like... Emily.]

Jack reached out and turned the doork.n.o.b, and opened the door wide, as the door itself sw.a.n.g to the side to reveal the contents of the room inside.

The inside was... A brightly lit room... shaded and colored in pink... Jack's first thought was this was a little girl's room...

He stepped inside the threshold and after another glance around the room picking on the furnis.h.i.+ngs, a bookcase made of stone, painted pink with chipped paint... An evening tomb, also with chipped pink paint, a small desk with large stacks of tomes, and a small chair, etc...

But also with the chipped pink pain... Black b.l.o.o.d.y handprints all over the walls. Jack couldn't see anyone or anything in the room that would have produced the banging, so it took a few more steps.

As he looked around the room and found the edges of what might be a door that led out of the room, but had no n.o.b, he heard the door close behind him.

Jack looked behind him to the door that closed... Unlike the front side that was white... The backside was pink... and clawed... smeared in black blood... and pieces of splintered bone jutting out at the claw marks...

Jack's sight detected movement to the corner of the room that would have been behind the door...

There!

It was an undead... well, if undead could be said... it was more like a creature. It was hunkered over crouching down as if cowering in the corner. It had a body like a sickly geist, with some places looked to be stripped of skin... forcibly, as if the creature ripped parts of its skin and body away.

Jack couldn't help but notice its face. No eyes... In the place that a withered geist face would be expected horns grew where eyes should be and turned into ma.s.sive curved horns from the top of its head. A hole for what would be a nose, and then a ma.s.sive mouth full of ragged, jagged, and gnarled teeth that stretched from one side of the face under the pointed years to the other side.

The creature looked feminine, it had a few tatter pieces of pink and bloodied cloth hanging from its shoulders that looked to be the st.i.tching places for a dress, but it was so tattered now it looked more like hanging remnants... Hidden between these tatters of cloth, Jack could make out the swellings of what would be a female's chest...

On the back of this hunched creature, Jack would call a ghoul, were eight large curved spikes, from long to short lined in pairs going down either side of the spine of the ghoul. The ghoul's long arms were tucked around its body, but Jack could clearly see that each finger ended in a long talon... Obviously the Owner of the clawed and bloodied walls.

[What in the f.u.c.k is in your head, Emily!?]

Unsure of what kind of situation this was, and the fact the door closed... He could feel that this creature was strong... Stronger than himself... And he was a G.o.d... Was it because it was a creature that lived within Emily's soul and mind... Whatever the case, Jack could feel that this wasn't a creature or servant of the Spider G.o.ddess...

Jack took a few side steps to the door that opened back outside.

As Jack did so, the creature-like ghoul, turned it's head as if 'watching' him take his steps.

[s.h.i.+t... A lot of my power went into my cherubs... I should have reabsorbed them before falling...]

Jack's hand reached slowly to the doork.n.o.b on the inside of the room.

The ghoul reached out with one of its arms in Jack's direction as if to stalk prey like a cat, as its body moved with it.

[...shh....it...]

Jack slowly turned the k.n.o.b of the door, as the door produced a sound, indicating the mechanism triggered.

"Click"

Springing from the corner the Ghoul pounced on Jack pinning him to the floor, like a guttural and monstrous roar issued from the maw of the ghoul, as it screamed in Jack's face, as Jack was holding the thing off from him, as it began to claw at him... It started to rip part of his clothes.

Wrestling with the creature, as it opened it's large mouth lunging at Jack's face. It's long tongue snaked out, and with foaming drool, it splashed across Jack's forehead. The tongue made its way to his skull, as Jack turned his head, as to avoid the near prehensile appendage.

With one of the ghoul's arms shaking off Jack's hand that was holding off the creature, the fanged maw that hovered above him now lunged forward and bit into Jack's skull. Jack felt the ghoul's teeth sc.r.a.pe across his bald skull producing a near hair raising nails on a chalkboard sound.

"Ah! f.u.c.king! GET OFF MEH!" Unnerved by the sound, Jack put all of his strength into his arms, as he shoved the Ghoul across the room. It landed against the far wall with a crack, and slide down, but not before it lunged again, as if unphased.

Before Jack could get from the floor where he was knocked down, he noticed a change in the creature.

The ghoul creature landed next to him, and slowly extended it's right clawed hand.

Jack looked to the hand that appeared in his field of vision, as he felt slightly off guard... While still on alert, he saw a black and white ring on the ring finger.

Looking to the monstrous face the ghoul, with its ragged mouth that appeared to almost being pulled into a wretched smile...

Jack called out, "Em-Emily?"
