Victus Mortuus
Rain, why does it always have to be dreary and wet in these sort of situations? This was a question that often rang in the head of one tired canine. He sighed his jade eyes looking to the sky, as water dripped down his pale lilac, dark gray, and white fur, soaking his black hair, and running down the odd black shiny spikes that jutted out - four on each side- of his spine. He groaned and trudged further through the all but empty city, looking weary and worn.
"Brother.... why do you mock me by letting the Heavens weep for me? I chose this fate, as you have yours...."
The canine- a dhole- was named Hades Vindico'nex, once a very powerful figure; now however, he was just a Fallen God, forced to live amongst mortals. His body shook as if he was under great strain; Damn this curse that caused him weakness, unable to spend four hours before being forced into a sleeping trance, unable to wake up or be woken for sometimes even days.
He glanced around, there was no one around and this alley seemed as good as anything, ungracefully sat down, looked up at the sky again, vision fading.
"DAMN YOU ZEUS! WAS MY IMPRISONMENT NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU? I CURSE YOUR NAME AS YOU HAVE MINE!"
And with that he lost himself to the curse of sleep once again.
~~~~~~
"Male, species.....unknown..."
"I think it's a canine"
"It's got spikes coming out of it's back. I'm pretty sure there's no kind of dog that has spikes"
"Not important. Anyways...."
"Anyways...purple, gray and white with Black hair.....green eyes...."
Where am I?
"Cause of Death... unknown."
"Don't we have to cut him open to do that first?"
"Not always.... "
"Besides all you ever WANT to do."
People?.....Wha.....cause of death...? I'm not dead.
"I guess there's nothing else we can do but get him open and see if we can figure it out."
"Yeah yeah I got this, you just keep taking notes."
Wha?
The feeling of his skin being cut open on his chest sent Hades's mind a jolt.
"Oh what the hell?! That's so gross! It's blood is all rank and green colored!"
"This is....odd.... I should get this tested."
"Whoa....I think it's pregnant!"
"In it's chest?"
" Come look"
"....That's....not....normal..."
"You think It's pregnant?"
"Doubt it"
"....Maybe it ate someone then....eh..."
Hades slowly started opening his eyes, but shut them again from seeing the bright light in his face. He let loose a silent growl, while the hole the two strangers next to him made started to close.
"Oh Goddess.... It's alive! It's a Miracle!"
"....Yeah..... a miracle... It's gunna eat our brains!"
Hades tried to sit up, the one that had been making the cut, now backing away, the purple dhole tried to glance around again, seeing a white weasalish creature....maybe an ermine? He didn't care, the other was an aubrun cyborg fox with red eyes.
"Where.....where is... here.....? Όταν είμαι εγώ αυτός που είστε γιατί είμαι εδώ?"
His eyes adjusted, it seemed the fox was facinated by him in some way, and the ermine looked scared out of it's mind.
"Παρακαλώ ... Δεν νομίζω ότι χρειάζεται να ... να ... Ι. ... όταν ..... διαμάχες αριθ. .... that's ..... μου πλακούντες σοκολάτα ..."
The fox blinked and smiled a bit. "Heh.... it's speaking in tongues... PRAISE THE MOTHER!"
The ermine's eyes went from Hades to the fox,"Dawg, ya'll are crazy."
Hades tried to sit up all the way and slid off the autopsy table holding his head. The ermine stealth-fully snuck up and hit the confused canine with a tray causing it to flinch and yelp. Hades looked at the ermine with a confused look, rubbing his head,"W....why...?"
"DIE YOU ZOMBIE THING!" and the ermine hit him again.
"OW!...Z-zombie...?" He tried to grab the tray and yank it away from the ermine.
The ermine grabbed a scalpel,"YES, ZOMBIE... DIE."
The fox blinked,"I don't think it's a zombie."
Hades looked at the fox, then the ermine, then slapped his head into his palm. "I'm..... not... a zombie...."
"Then what the hell is it?"
"Hell if I know.I told you it's a dog!"
"Dhole."
"Okay, its a Dhole..! See? Not a zo-What's a Dhole?"
The ermine lifted his palm to his face.
Hades blinked, then looked down and grabbed a sheet,"What the fuck are my clothes?! WHY THE HELL AM I NAKED!? WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE AND WHERE AM I?" he asked now panicking.
The ermine blinked, his eye twitching, as if he were still in shock, and a little bit of annoyance. The fox smiled and looked at Hades.
"You were found in an alley, drenched and unmoving. You weren't breathing... they checked your pulse, and thought you were dead. So they brought you to this mortuary..... You didn't have a heart beat, period."
"That's because I don't have a heart." Hades muttered in great disdain.
The ermine looked at the fox, and the fox looked back at the ermine. "I swear it wasn't me."
Hades blinked,"Wait............what?"
The ermine shook his head, "I don't even know how you got this job...."
Hades growled,"Can I leave now? I'm clearly not dead... jeeze... a guy can't even take a nap anymore...." he was clearly pissed that he was woken up in such a horrible way.
"Hey wait you can't just leave! Just what the hell are you?!" The fox growled, grabbing Hades's shoulder. Hades glared at the kit, then looked away,"You wouldn't believe me if I told you... so just chalk this up to a mistake and let me go." He tried to shrug him off his shoulder, and looked around and growled, holding the sheet around him looking for his clothes. The fox then sighed very upset.
"Yeah, and you wouldn't believe half the shit I've been through in the past six months...."
Hades sighed,"Let me guess... the police have my clothes because of what ever "evidence" to my death may be on them or some bullshit like that?" The Fox nodded,"Wouldn't doubt it."
"ZEUS DAMMIT!"
The fox glanced at the ermine,"Hey.... Algar...why don't you go call the police... I'll distract it for you."
The ermine nodded and started running for the door. Hades blinked and watched him leave before he looked at the fox,"Hey where's he going?" The fox shrugged, and waited for the ermine to leave the room,"Maybe to get you those clothes..." he said hand on Hades's shoulder and a scalpel hidden behind his back. "Now why don't you just sit back on this table and wait." he said patting the table.
Hades glanced at the fox, then the table, then the fox again. The fox's red eyes showed something like anxiousness, though it was carefully hidden. "Fine..." Hades started hopping up on the table and sat there. The fox smirked and grabbed Hades and pulled him down on the table. Then the hidden scalpel, held with a metal hand, drove into the hand of the dhole and when through it, before being pounded into the table.
"What the hell are you doing?! Let me go!"
"Not a chance.... I'm going to find out what you are one way or another." The fox said using tubing and ripping cloth to tie Hades down. The dog struggled as much as he could, the fox grabbing another scalpel out of a drawer. "Now then....let's see what makes you tick."
Cold metal carved into equally cold flesh, and the purple canine struggled and squirmed, feeling the first layer of flesh being cut open and trying to heal, a few more times of this and the fox got annoyed. "Now that won't do... " a flame appeared on the tip of his finger. Hades saw this and started wriggling more. This didn't stop the fox as he started to cauterize the cuts he inflicted to keep it from regrowing. "DAMMIT LET ME GO!" but his yelling fell on deaf ears as his tools started cutting into the second layer of skin.
The fox was then almost hit in the face with the smell of embalming fluids, rust, and decay. His eyes widened and he started gagging, he dropped what he was doing running to the tub to vomit. Hades started yanking at his impaled hand trying to get it to slide off the ruined tool, he managed to get it off as the deranged fox started walking back, coughing a bit. Hades glanced across from him and smirked.
Then the fox saw an odd sight, the dead body that he and Algar had worked on before Hades started moving, and moaning. It stood up and started moving towards the fox. "OH SWEET VATIEL!" and he grabbed the first sharp object he could to defend himself. Hades watched while untying himself. The air grew colder and the drawers to the body tables started shaking more moaning coming from inside. Hades finally got free and looked at the fox who was fighting off the zombie. The dhole moved his hand to the cut which started healing, though the outer skin didn't.
"Now look what you did....this was my favorite skin too..... maybe I'll just have to take yours to replace it."
The fox looked at Hades, eyes wide. Hades grinned, teeth bared, smile becoming broader than that of Alice's Cheshire Cat. The fox tried to swing his weapon at Hades, but the dhole caught the hand, throwing the tool away and pushing the fox onto the floor. Before he could reach for another weapon, Hades sat on top of the fox, still grinning. "Let's see what your sinning soul tastes like..." he said putting a hand to the trembling fox's white and red chest fur.
"MYLZ THE POLICE ARE ON THEIR WAY!"
With that sudden outburst from the returning ermine the room went quiet once again, the zombie fell to the floor and Hades stared wide eyed at the albino weasel. He then looked at the trembling fox under him, and back at Algar, and in a puff of darkness, was gone, leaving a mess in his wake.
~~~~~~
When the police arrived the two tried to tell their story, but with no evidence of any kind of "soul eating body stealer monster dog" there was no case. However, the police were puzzled over the disappearance of the body they had brought earlier.
With no new leads, there wasn't much anyone could do, and no way for the ermine and fox to prove their story.
For all we know, this "Soul Eater Beast" could still be out there, waiting to strike again.
The End
