BLACK GHOUL
Chapter 187: Black Beast [1]

Chapter 187: Black Beast [1]

"Tell me Sean" Iris began as their bodies moved to the slow beat.

"Do you really mean what you said?" She asked, blinking. She needed to know, her insides were screaming inwardly for answers, he just told her she was the first and most important thing to him.

A smile found Sean’s lips, but then they disappeared faintly. "You know..." he began with a deep breath. "Ever since... ever since Paige, I thought I wasn’t gonna find what I had with her"

Iris forced a smile.

"It hurt so much but I knew, I can’t dwell on that"

She nods.

"And then there was you"

Her heart skipped a bit.

"Yes, you... but then you were into Liam"

"Even that time?" she giggled.

"Yes, I think"

She giggled once again, hearing her make these wonderful sounds made his heart flutter, she was beautiful when she made such sounds.

He stops moving, and so does Iris, and then their eyes are locked on one another.

"I meant everything I said... I never realized it until now" he adds, cupping her cheek with his hand. "I was afraid that I won’t be able to feel anything again"

Her eyes trembled at his words.

"Iris I-"

*Loud Crash Sound*

The sound came from above at the glass ceiling, they all looked up in awe.

Something penetrated in... no someone, as the bones from his back penetrate the glass smashing it in an instance... revealing Seth Judson wearing a smirk against his lips as he slowly descends.

***

Where Liam and Riley were, the alarms went off, alerting of an intruder.

"Someone is here," Linda said in realization.

"The agency," Riley said certainly.

"Impossible... this may be a party but this location is highly secured... it couldn’t be," Linda said fearing for the worst.

"Sean and Iris," Liam said in haste as they both rushed to the other side of the building.

***

They both barged the door open, the lights flicked, and they froze when they saw the scene before them, blood, and bodies on display on the floor. Some struggled to move while some stayed still, dead.

Liam and Riley look around for Sean and Iris.

"SEAN!!!" They heard Iris shout in horror.

They rushed towards the location.

Iris, kneeling on the floor close to Sean’s body, turned her teary eyes to meet theirs.

"He’s not breathing," she said with a deep sob, her hands applied pressure to his chest, but the blood kept gushing out.

Riley gasped as her eyes shook at the horrible state Sean was in.

Liam stood immobile, his mind unable to process what was unfolding before him, his best friend was on the floor bleeding to death, and his insides felt like they were clawing out.

"The ghoul killer, he came out of nowhere" she cried and sobbed.

"Sean he... he protected me and now he’s gonna die" she cried, she felt like her heart was breaking apart, she was not really to lose him, not when she finally found love, not when she really realized her feelings.

"Iris, Iris... look at me!" Riley hissed going to her knees beside Sean’s bleeding body. Her teary eyes met Riley.

"Do not take your hand off," she warned. "Or he will die" she adds.

Iris nods, applying more pressure, to his chest wound, she knew Riley must have sensed he was still alive, so hope filled her, but watching him bleeding out still breaks her heart.

"Liam we have to get him out of here, now!" Riley said but no answer.

"Liam!" She turns.

Liam stood still as the wall but Riley knew fury burned him inside, his ghoul eyes present, staring at a distance. Riley’s eyes followed the direction of the gaze seeing Seth Judson.

Seth stood there, wearing a smirk, about 10 of the spider leg bones behind him, swaying back and forth, covered in blood.

"Black Ghoul... there was a party and you didn’t even bother inviting me," he said in beaming amusement as his red eyes beamed more.

"Liam" Riley began.

"Leave," he said in a simple order that left no room for question... she knew Sean was his best friend and he was angry... but there was something off, he wasn’t just angry, his intent to kill was high, so high that it almost sucked the air. She was angry and hurt too, she stared daggers at Seth ready to rip his heart out, but Liam has already said she should leave.

He took off his jacket, handing it to Riley without even sparing her a glance. Riley took it in silence, turning back to Sean and using it to apply pressure more on his chest.

"Signal the rest" Riley whispered to Iris who nodded.

Liam took off his mask, flinging it to a corner.

"Isn’t the power couple gonna face me this time? I was hoping for it" Seth said in amusement as in a flash he was beside Liam, he looked down, hoping to find them but they were nowhere to be seen like they just disappeared.

"Seth Judson," Liam said sternly, not sparing him a glance as his whole body erupts in black shadow. "You made a big mistake coming here!" he hissed.

Seth growls using his claws to dig in Liam’s chest, he smirks at his accomplishment but it fades when Liam grabs the hand connecting to his chest, blood splashing. Liam’s dangerously ghoul eyes land on him and then he shifts, his body increasing in height, in Ghost form, extended arms, and leg, bald head, with a black spiky crown around his head, a black aura around it, his body wrapped in black bandages, his body erupting in the black aura, he stood high and tall no longer hunching. His eyes were covered with a black bandage.

Seth quickly drew back, as fast as he could, the bone retreating back inside him.

Liam growled deeply... it shocks the earth around them.

"You really aren’t the Black Ghoul I faced three years ago," Seth said in amusement.

Liam’s claws extended, ready to rip Seth to pieces without blinking.

"Good thing I brought backup...let’s say someone who can match up to your strength," Seth said smirking.

As suddenly like a sharp bullet a being lands beside him from above, Liam’s body tensed on seeing it... it was unlike any ghoul he has ever seen.

It stood high and tall the same 10 feet as he was, the body covered in something like a coil, dark brown in color, with a horn at the center. It looked more like a beast than a ghoul, having no eyes but sharp deadly fangs for a mouth.

’That thing is bad news, it doesn’t look right, Ghost has a bad feeling about this’ Ghost said in Liam’s head.

’Wouldn’t be the first’ Liam replied, not trembling a bit, but there was this odd feeling he felt when he saw that being, he couldn’t pinpoint what...but just like Ghost said, there was a bad feeling about this.

"I present to you The Beast... amazing isn’t he?" Seth said admiring the piece of art before him, Vincent Jones really was a prodigy at what he does.

"I wonder what innocent human you had to dissect to create such Beast," Liam said in a deep demonic voice.

"Why Don’t we see what he’s capable of then... I might interest you in a story of how it came to be" Seth said, smirking. His body itching in excitement, he couldn’t wait for the Black ghoul’s downfall, it was inevitable. He wasn’t as strong as he used to come head to head with the black ghoul, their last experience in the plane taught him that, but now with this Beast, he was certain, he had a chance, the chance to finally get rid of the Black Ghoul and take revenge for Barbra.

Liam stood on high alert, getting ready for any attack, he didn’t know what the Beast was capable of, so he would expect anything, as for Seth, he could read him like the back of his hand, but the Beast? Not so much, either way, he wasn’t backing down without a fight, not until he finally ended the Ghoul Killer and avenged Sean, that was all he could think of and he was hell-bent on doing so.

His looks were more murderous than ever, and rage building within him like a tempo

"Let’s dance!"

The Beast zapped towards Liam in lightning speed that he almost didn’t see him coming. He was fast! Faster than him!

’LIAM LOOK OUT!" Ghost shouts in Liam’s head as in a flash the Beast was behind Liam, the claws fused with gold substance slits Liam’s back, he roared in pain but that didn’t stop Liam as with one kick the Beast was sent flying across the wall, breaking them instantly, waving backward as the sound kept fading from the constant crashes it had to endure.

Liam went on one knee, the pain in his back was excruciating.
