Chapter 4 Deadly Couple

"What the-?"

Panicking me and Dale let go of each other's hands.

Dale is confused as he tries to free himself from Sherley's grip.

Sherley screams at Dale.

"Are you a crazy woman?"

Dale said, shoving Sherley away from him.

I turn to Peter.

He glares at me, tightening his grip on my hand.

"Damnit, let go of me old man, what is wrong with you?"

Peter stands up.

Peter yanks me out of my chair, throwing me onto a nearby cabinet and crushing it.

"Oof!"

I groan, attempting to stand up.

He punches me across the face.

His knuckles felt like stone.

It's like being hit with a rock.

"Nate!"

Dale shouts.

Peter grabs me by the collar, lifting me up.

Dale growls but Sherley is already onto him, pouncing onto Dale.

Biting into Dale's shoulder, Sherley began to chew.

Dale screams in agony.

"Graah!"

Peter threw me against the ceiling.

"Oof!"

Groaning as my body slams against the ceiling, falling back to the floor.

Peter stood over me.

Peter kicks me over onto my back.

He stomps on my arm.

"Agrhh!!"

"What the hell are you?"

I asked, while holding back my screams.

Peter continues to apply pressure on my arm.

"You are going to be my dinner for today, Nathan. You and Dale are our meals," Peter says. He opens his mouth, revealing hundreds of sharp teeth.

"Laura will be our dessert."

Peter said, drooling over the floor.

His saliva melted through the floor.

Dale shakes Sherley off, slamming her onto the dinner table, breaking it.

Peter's attention turned to Dale.

"You just made a huge mistake, human."

Sherley says, lying on the broken table.

"So did you."

Laura says, holding her hands up above her head.

A huge boulder made out of blue crystal forms in the center of the table, above Sherley.

Looking at my own reflection.

The giant crystal boulder slams on top of Sherley through the floor.

Shattering the floor beneath Peter, and I.

We both fall along with Sherley.

The boulder crushes Sherley as she lands in the basement.

The dust clears as I cough.

Looking around to see where I'd fallen.

It's the basement.

I looked up above to see Laura and Dale inspecting the area.

"I'm going to eat your corpse!"

Peter screamed at Laura, enraged.

"That was for the kid." Laura says.

Sherley convulses, dying underneath the boulder that crushed her.

Slime oozes out of her mouth.

The slime slowly melts the floor.

That was Laura's magic; she is able to create crystals out of the air using her mana.

Laura and Dale begin to rush downstairs.

"We are on our way down there Nate!"

Dale shouts.

I lose sight of them from up above.

Peter stands up stumbling, all over the basement.

His appearance is becoming more apparent, his body has become a literal stone.

As his clothes fell off his body.

"Stay down, or I'll put you down!"

I shout.

Peter growled.

I tackled him to the ground.

Growling I punched Peter, he didn't guard.

But I continued painting his face.

Blood covers his face, but he is not the one bleeding.

Peter licked his lips.

"Mmm delicious I want more!"

Stepping back, I held my broken hand.

"Aghh.."

"You need to calm down, human, don't you realize the situation you're in?"

Peter asked as he reached for my shirt, grabbing it.

Peter would pull me towards him.

Punching me in the face, with a huge right hook breaking my nose.

Knocking down, I fall onto the floor.

Blood leaks from my nose dripping onto the floor.

"You're not so fearless anymore now, are you?"

Peter says as his body slowly falls apart.

Peter begins crumbling like a broken old statue.

He then rushes at me, grabbing my neck.

"You people came into our home messing up our meal!" Peter shouted.

I grab his wrists, resisting his tight grip, his stone hands cover my throat.

My grip tightens, I glare at Peter.

"I'm just going to take your body because this one has reached its limit," Peter said,

His stone wrists begin to crack as my grip becomes tighter.

His mouth opens, revealing even further Peter's true nature.

He sticks his long tongue out to lick the blood off my face.

As Peter giggled, his teeth grew larger.

As his mouth widens.

"You're mine!"

Peter shouts.

My fingernails become sharper, impaling the stone.

Crushing Peter's wrists, I kicked him.

Knocking Peter onto the floor.

Standing over Peter.

I slashed at Peter's torso with my claws.

Peter wrapped his tongue around my wrist.

It burns my skin, it wraps around my wrist tighter.

"Agh!"

Grabbing onto Peter's tongue, burning my hands as well.

I rip out his tongue, Peter would scream.

"SCREEEEEEEE!!!!!"

Screaming so loud it echoed around the basement.

Tossing his tongue away.

I began to shred Peter down, slashing at his stone body with my claws.

The body falls apart completely, as my claws bleed.

"That's enough!" Dale shouts at me. Laura eventually comes down.

Breathing heavily.

"I think it's dead."

Laura said.

Dale walked up to me, patting my shoulder.

Looking at Peter and Sherley's corpses, the same green slime oozes out of their mouths.
