❄️By Crownway Amef❄️
??Episode 02??
?Not every hellhound belongs to hell?
Previously on Hound’s Duty….
After hades saved Violet, a human carrying an angel’s baby in her womb, he asked her to pledge her soul and her baby to him and she did so. Falcon’s essence got separated from him during the terrific war with the black angels and it disappeared off to earth where it possessed a human body.
Erik’s life being a nerdy boy is about to take a drastic turn as Violet now know who he is due to Falcon’s essence inside of him which he didn’t know about,now Falcon is back looking for a host and where to hide.
A long trail of flame whirled from the sky and landed right in front of Erik,that’s Falcon growling in pain.
⚓⚓Now on Hound’s Duty⚓⚓
The noise was so deafening that Erik had to cover his ears but seems he’s the only one hearing this right now.
His shaky legs tried to move back but remained stuck with the fear eating him up.
Falcon could sense what belongs to him in this young boy and his growling ceased as his narrowed erie vision inspected clueless Erik.
“What the hell is this? And it’s burning with fire….”Erik whispered as he swallowed hard on his saliver.
Falcon rushed up to him in matter of few seconds and entered into him completely like a gush of wind.
The strong force pierced into his system and his memory went blank before his eyelids became weak and he passed out.
Inside⚜⚜
Grandma Sarah stood up immediately and she asked to find Erik that he’s in danger.
“What do you mean Mother?” Mr.Taylor questioned as he rose to his feet.
“How did you know?”Mrs.Taylor cut in.
” Wh@tëver you call them, your business partner or not… They are coming for him”
Grandma Sarah opened her drawer and brought out a walkie talkie which she used to summon her guards.
“Find my grandson and guard the entrance well” She commanded.
“Yes ma’am” one of the men replied.
“Also” she stop the man and paused for a while….. “Do not answer any call, disconnect any form of waves or landline in my mansion” she ordered.
The guards found Erik lying unconscious on the ground and took him inside. His parent were shocked as to what Grandma Sarah said earlier but seems no one knows who she really is.
???
A foggy portal appeared in the middle of nowhere and a creepy jet came out of it. Jet made of bones and scary stuffs.
Black angels dressed as normal guards troop out of it each with guns and wireless talkie in their ears.
They arrived somewhere and set up their computer.
They started hacking the local networks and citizens profile looking for anybody named Erik Taylor but found none.
“Boss, we found none”the hacker reported.
“I definitely saw his face in Haliah’s memory and when he introduced himself to her…hmmm that means he’s not here but at Citadom so you cant expect to find his name as a citizen here”
“So why are we here ma’am?” one of the guards asked.
“Haliah’s spiritual eyes showed Mexico” the corner of her eyes crinkled.
“Okay boss,I’ll look for any household with that name”
“Pta-pta-pta” few clicks on the buttons and different households with that first name showed up.
“Ma’am we have hundred of Taylor’s here”
“Try calling the numbers and follow my order” she said and her evil smirk came up.
Taylor’s Mansion
Erik woke up with a big headache and he couldn’t open his eyes, the distant muffled conversations filled his brain as If they were standing right by his bed and his weak eyelids parted slowly trying to come back to reality if it was a dream like it always was or something else.
Suddenly he jumped out of bed touching his own body and checking his face in the mirror “What was that?” He thought.
Just then the telephone came up ringing and with the scary thought of what happened earlier, he picked the call and “Yeah…he…hello, hello who is it?”
“This is from the post office and we’ve got a order for the Taylor’s” a voice rang out from the other side.
“Uhm yeah I guess that must be for grandma… Hold on please I’ll get her on the line” Erik said with a squinted face as he felt a sharp headache.
“Who am I speaking with please? It’s very urgent to put this down in record else I’ll be in trouble” the voice came again.
“You are talking to her grandson, Erik Taylor”
Just then the call ended from the other side and Erik dropped the phone. He was about to go out when his grandma barged inside.
“What have you done? You shouldn’t have picked that call”
“Grandma you’re here? They were talking about some orde….
“You know nothing do you?”
⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓
“Boss I got the address already, we found the boy” he reported closing his laptop.
“Good, let’s go” Violet said.
???⚓??⚓?
Granny Sarah opened her wardrobe and removed a sharp blue sword from its sheath.
Erik and his parent were surprised as to why she has that and what she’s up to.
She tossed a gun to Mr.Taylor(David) and likewise Mrs.Taylor(Diane) as well.
“Granny what’s going on?” Erik asked sounding more confused.
“You’re no more a kid, you only fulfilled the written destiny and you must stay strong. No matter what,always remember this.” She said to Erik who is still clueless about the whole thing.
“Stay inside and stay safe son”
Suddenly the ground in the mansion shook and dust started falling from the roof. They almost fell off their feet.
“They are here already,they chased you from Citadom… For what?” Granny Sarah asked.
“I don’t know, they only said we possess something which belongs to them” David replied as he glanced at the ceiling.
“Just how did they find you? They found his home but didn’t recognize him then but now that they are here, seems they’ve managed to know his face”
Violet keep ordering his men to drop grenades everywhere in the big mansion.
Grandma Sarah set out with her son and daughter-in-law and they started shooting sporadically at the intruders.
Some of the black angels shifted to their demonic form and leapt from one building to the other killing humans with their swords.
Mrs.Taylor climbed a statue outside the house with full speed,she hung her hand around the neck and released load of bullets into the flying black angels as they dropped dead on the floor.
Violet’s face was masked and likewise her men.
With little self defense that the Taylors learnt they continued fighting the bad guys.
While Granny was busy fighting, Violet came out of nowhere and shot a poisonous arrow from her crossbow.
“Mother” Mr.Taylor yelled and tried to fight his way to her by putting holes in the head of men coming to stop him.
Granny Sarah broke the arrow and threw it away but the metal head is stuck in her chest and she coughed out blood.
Granny threw her sword at one of Violet’s men trying to break into the house and then her hand became very long, she stretched it and removed the sword before beheading the black angel.
“Hmmm interesting” Violet smiled as darkness glowed in her eyes.
The Taylors kept shooting at them while Granny Sarah and Violet faced each other.
⚓⚓⚓⚓
Erik was becoming very frightened with all the shootings and scary wails he’s been hearing outside.
He tried to go out but the door is locked so he went to the window and decided to make it to the terrace to see whats going on.
???⚜⚜⚜
Granny Sarah is very weak and losing too much blood, she kept swinging her sword to attack Violet but all seems to be in vain because she made no effort in dodging the attack instead she clinked her sword away and continued closing on her.
Their swords clinked many times before violet made a tricky move and seized Sarah’s sword. She was about to stab her when Mrs.Taylor rushed for the attack and the sharp sword penetrated deep into her.
“Diana” Mr.Taylor yelled.
“Oh no….” Granny Sarah cried out.
Erik saw his mother getting killed right in his presence and he was scared to hell, he blamed himself for being so weak and unable to do anything, he can’t even jump down from here to catch her from falling, all he could do was to scream and cry.
Sarah’s men were all killed beause the black angels were too much and the weapons with them is too powerful than theirs.
A black angel shot Mr.Taylor on his attempt to catch his wife from falling and that sent Erik’s dream and happiness into an unseen fire.
Everywhere became silent and in slow motion, he could not hear anything other than his grandma’s painful wail, his mother’s painful groan and his father’s hurtful cry followed by a long high pitched sound.
Erik became unconscious and he slipped from the terrace.
He’s falling from such a height and Sarah thought she was going to lose her family in just a night but what followed next is a big thing that has no explanation as Erik’s body went up in flame. Body burning with fire and his clothes writhing away in ashes.
He changed to an upright position and landed on the ground.
The ground on which he stood cracked up due to the force and small hot fireballs shone like crystals.
Set of glowing reddish-orange eyes could be seen, deadly sharp claws and fangs, skin like black volcanic rock with vein of molten lava running through it.
The hellhound breathed out and scanned the horde of dead black angels on the ground.
“Now I see why the black angels didn’t disappear after been killed.” Violet said and she asked everyone to retreat because the hellhound is going to hunt them with the dead souls.
Erik isnt aware of what’s inside him, the hell hound is dominating over him and they are not in symbiosis relationship yet. Hell hounds are active only at night to carry out their duties and on sensing damned souls all around, the hell hound side took over.
Violet left with her men and Falcon took the souls of the black angels before they vanished into thin air.
The souls turned to shadows and started following Falcon to the afterlife meanwhile, Sarah lost consciousness and couldn’t stop Erik from going.
(Indeed Hell hounds, grim reaper, ghost rider and the banshee are all harbinger of death. Hell hounds carries damned souls of those that sold their soul to the devil somewhere in the underworld and during this duty hour, no demons or even hades can stop it from leaving)
Next morning⚜
Erik found himself on a spacious bed without clothes on and water line being passed into his vein.
He felt nauseous the moment he opened his eyes, the headache came back worse he and removed the drip before rushing to the bathroom.
He vomited everything been passed into his system.
“What’s going on? Why am I like this?
Oh… Mom…. Dad and grandma” he mumbled to himself as scenes of the tragic fight flashed across him.
He ran to his grandma’s room and saw her in bed with oxygen mask and hospital resuscitation tools.
Sarah’s personal guard sight Erik and he went to meet him.
“Your grandma fell into Coma, she was badly injured” he said to Erik.
“What? What about my parent?” Erik questioned tearfully.
“I’m sorry, we lost them”
Erik couldn’t believe his ears and he passed out again.
?CITADOM?
Violet put up the projection again and Hades came up to her.
“My lord that was our experience” she reported.
“The first possession was yesterday I saw Falcon myself but strangely I couldn’t control him.” hades said.
“But since hell hounds are always active at night, we can just kidnap the boy during the day and trap him somewhere till we can have full control on the hound”
“Right you are… You said Falcon only came out to collect souls right? And not to fight back to avenge the boy’s parent so that means they are not working together yet. The boy isn’t aware of the possession and Falcon isn’t ready to work with a weak host I guess”
“That means we can use the fact that they are not yet in unison and get them both” Violet said.
“But be careful so Falcon won’t take over”he warned.
“How will that be possible my lord?”Violet asked totally stricken with surprise.
“Fire is the only thing that can force the transformation of hellhound from human form during the day”
