Ch 2: Claiming a Pet

G.P.
"Aww, that's a shame. I guess I could take it. After all, they are delicious. I have an idea; how about you come with me? We are all famished here and seeing you don't want these, Grillby can reuse them. After all, you do like this place; you eat here~" He cackled once more before grabbing his arm.

He teleported to his shack. He was already excited to have a taste, hooking his ax handle around the other's neck and pulling him closer to him. His open skull looked.. weird, as if it was intentional or something had cut through it.

He whispered in the other's ear in a dark voice "Scream.." before he bit harshly into the side of his neck.

I.H.
He barely managed to hold back his scream, a strangled cry slipping past his teeth. He tried to push away from the other skeleton, but Horror was much too strong and he was already feeling weak and dizzy from the bite as blood dripped down his neck.

His left eye flickered purple as he tried to summon an attack but he was dismayed to find he could not from the shock and dizziness overwhelming him. "N-No.." He gasped, struggling weakly even though he knew it was futile.

G.P.
He moaned out, licking at the wound. Lust tasted just like he smelled: sweet and sugary, almost like he was a monster candy. He pulled away from the other, forcing him to the ground and pulling the top of his ax to his chest.

"Listen here now." He spoke in a serious tone. "You're definitely not from here. Let me give you the rules of this place, idiot. No one cares if you live or die. If I didn't do that, someone else would have cannibalized you quickly. Here, it's eat or be eaten. I'll feed you and give you a home."

"You'll let me take your blood every Monday so I can make a new menu dish and keep some for myself. A final rule: don't run from me. I will not hesitate to slice off your legs and eat them." He let go of him, a large smile on his face. The other should be happy. He allowed him to live..

Well, not really. He would spare the skeleton from all the trauma if he killed him right now. Horror looked down, his eye disappearing as he began to think deeper now. He was so hungry; he could take another bite. Maybe a finger? He can't risk letting go of this prize, though the other will need much strength.

He needed new clothing too.. The tacky clothing he was wearing wouldn't be much of a defense against another, he thought as he ate a head dog. But 'ketchup' at the moment seemed much more appealing.. far more, at he moment. He pushed down his hunger to a lower ache.

I.H.
Lust stared up at Horror with trembling eyelights. What.. What was this place..?

"I-I just want t-to go home.." He stammered, his voice barely a whisper from the raw fear coursing through him. "Pl-Please, there must be s-some way.."

He yelped as Horror suddenly shifted his axe, flinching violently and slamming his sockets shut. When the blow did not come, he looked back with fearful eyelights, finding the blade only an inch from his sternum.

"Please don't kill me." He squeaked. His whole body shook with fear.

G.P.
"Hehe~ You're adorable!  Now let's go home. My brother doesn't like me out. I'll get you some new clothes too!" He grinned happily, picking him up and hefting him over his shoulder before teleporting back. A Goliath of the monster was cooking in the kitchen. The small cooking spoon dwarf size in comparison to his large hands.

"GOOD, BROTHER. YOU'RE FINALLY BACK! DID YOU BRING ANYTHING HOME? I SMELL SOMETHING!" The tall skeleton walked out.

"Yeah, I got you some meatballs. And I have a new pet that I'm keeping around who will get us some money hopefully." He grinned, dropping his ax. He took out the pair of eyeballs from his pocket, taking some pocket lint off from them. The taller skeleton took them carefully, looking at Lust. His hollow sockets lit up with joy as rubbed his head like some dog.

"WELL, HE IS CUTE. HOPEFULLY HE IS A BIG EATER. I MADE A BIG POT OF SPAGHETTI TODAY! I'M THINKING OF GIVING SOME TO THE OTHERS OUTSIDE! SEEMS RATIONS HAVE BEEN LOW OUT THERE!" The taller one dropped the eyeballs into some red sauce.. 

Horror nodded before turning and walking upstairs with the skeleton and opening his room, his ax in hand. He tossed the other in. It actually looked rather normal.. Old yellow pictures of a huge group of friends surrounded Horror. His skull was fine. Some papers and other photos were scattered, but they were dusty.

Horror looked at the other, opening his closet. He took out a t-shirt, torn jeans, and a hoodie, almost like the one Lust was wearing but thicker and larger.

"I'll leave you to dress~  Come down to eat.." He gave the clothes to the other, respecting his privacy to dress as he walked downstairs.
