BLACK GHOUL
Chapter 214: Black Option

Chapter 214: Black Option

The door slide open as Riley walks in, she watch the scene with sad eyes, her heart tearing apart at the sight. She knew what she was about to say would tear his heart apart.

"Uncle Sean, can he do anything to wake her up?" He said between sobs.

"We can’t identify what poisoned her" Riley said sternly as she slowly walks to Ethan placing a hand on his shoulder, her heart was breaking, it hurt as hell seeing her daughter like this and not knowing what to do.

Even more seeing Ethan like this, he looked completely broken.

"Hunter said he can save her... if i go to him then" he faced his mother. The knowing look in his eyes spoke volumes.

Riley saw red the instant she knew what her son had in mind.

"You. Will. Do. No. Such. Thing!" She said through clenched teeth, keeping herself from growling. There was no way she was gonna hand her son over to some old sadistic man that put them in this state.

"But mom!"

"No buts Ethan, Anubis will be here soon, he will help" she said firmly. He was the only one that could help with this. He must have some info.

"What? The clown face?" Ethan said, frowning at the idea.

"Ethan!" Riley scolded.

"And the clown face is here as summoned" Anubis voice sounds as he appeared. Wearing a black tux, his hands behind his back covered in white gloves, his face could not be seen, it was hidden behind an Anubis mask for a head.

"Although I do not agree with the name, clown face" he adds in amusement.

"Anubis" Riley said.

He turns to her.

She swallowed hard as she spoke. "We need help"

"I’m aware" he states as his head moved to a an unconscious Eden on the bed, he walks towards the bed, assessing her condition.

"She is poisoned by the Claw of a very special type of ghoul, if I may have a small talk with ghoul who did this then I might know the the type of poison" he said.

"The ghoul is dead... I ate her" Ethan confessed, grimacing at the memory. He held his stomach was the strong urge to vomit found him.

"Oh... I did not expect that" he said.

"I need help with the twins, both of them need your help... but first do you know a man by the name Hunter?" She asked.

Instantly Anubis mask cracks at the eye.

They froze at the action. It was simple action but it somehow showed Anubis rage even though subtle.

"What did you say?" He said in a slow deadly tone that signify he was pissed with rage within that even cause the mask to crack in response.

"I said Hunter, a fucking geezer with teeth for gold who hurt my babies" Riley said measuring up with his own rage.

Ethan gulps hard, seeing his mum angry was freaking scary, he knew she had been keeping it in ever since, if she explode it wasn’t gonna be good.

"If you know this man then you better tell me!" she demands, she knew by his action certainly he did and by her guess he was definitely someone dangerous and someone Anubis despise.

Anubis used his palm to cover the eye that cracked.

"I never thought i would hear that name again" he began removing the palm, the crack was gone.

"I’m sure you’re aware by now that ghouls aren’t the only supernatural creatures that inhabit this earth... Hunter is one of them, same as the ghoul responsible for Eden’s condition. This creatures may even be ghouls but they are more than that, they are not genetically made like the foes you faced in the past, these were born that way, almost as special as the black ghoul himself, marching up to his strength in the most terrifying way unimaginable" he explained.

There were many mysteries the world was yet to know, and the black ghoul wasn’t the only one.

Ethan gulps hard as his eyes went wide at the revalation knowing there were special beings like his mom and dad.

"If your boy faced those things... then he’s lucky to be alive or more exceptionally stunning he was able to kill one" he adds in curiousity.

For a boy like him to pull something like that, was greatly surprising, he expected no less from the black ghouls offspring.

"Ethan didn’t kill one of them with his Claw, his appearance" Riley began, gulping. The image of it played in her head and it was something that still bothered her, she would have happily welcomed a Claw but that?

"Was exactly as Omari’s form" she adds. This was what scared her the most.

"Omari? Isn’t he like the first ghoul or something?" Ethan said puzzled.

"Exactly young one, the bedtime stories I told you were real" Anubis said.

"I always hated when you told us stories like that, we were practically 5" Ethan said with clenched teeth.

"Alas young one, do not blame me, I was simply keeping my promises of assisting your mother" Anubis said.

Ethan just rolled his eyes, at that time his mom, Sean and Iris were out on a business trip, so it was just them, it was unfortunate Anubis had to look after them in that period of time, Anubis wasn’t exactly the babysitter you would want to have, it was creepy, being an ancient druid do not come with babysitting training... HE WAS BAD AT IT.

Not only did he told them gruesome stories with ease that haunted their young minds, he basically scar them with that memory.

"Anubis!" Riley snaps gaining both their attention.

"If Ethan doesn’t posses the next black ghoul lineage then what is he?" She demands.

"Something more, a mystery... like you said his appearance was that of Omari then I’m afraid I have to tell you that young Ethan O’Brien did not inherit the black ghoul like his previous ancestors but rather Omari’s essence itself" he explained.

"I need not remind you that the last time you were intimate with your husband, he was already deep in the essence of Omari, it might have affected this one" he adds rubbing his chin, it was the only possible explanation why he had the scen5 of Omari too.

"You mean when my parents were having sex?" Ethan said grimacing at the thought, sticking out his tongue in disgust.

Riley pulled his ear, hard.

"Ouch!" He cried.

"You are only 12 years old and yet you have a mouth of an adult" she scolds.

"13 in two months time, mom" he corrected in pain as Riley still drew his ear.

"I suppose that why Hunter wants you, he has seen what you are capable of and more, he might have originally came for Lord O’Brien but news spread of his condition so he came for his offspring instead" Anubis said in realization.

That sick old man had his eye out for Ethan. It was not a good sign.

"That sick bastard got some nerves" Riley said letting go of Ethan’s ear.

He rubs it in response, it were bright red already.

"Hunter is known for gathering strong and unique ghouls around him, if he has set his eyes on young Ethan here, then there’s no escape... he’s already began his plan in motion" he said referring to Eden’s state. "More will only happen from here if he doesn’t gets what he wants.

"So you’re saying I hand my son to that geezer, inorder to save one I lost the other?" Riley said as her pulse raced. If this was what this Hunter had in mind then he was a sick old men that meant business.

Preying on kids life to get what he wants, he ass borderline insane.

"I’m saying it’s the only way to save young Eden’s life or I’m afraid she won’t make it for her birthday in two months time" he clarified.

Ethan’s sad eyes lands on Eden, his heart tugged more. His teeth clenched as he placed his hand on his chest and gripped hard. His sister had to suffer because of him, it was fair.

Riley’s fist clenched hard, she turns staring at the twins, she took a deep shaky sigh closing her eyes. She knew what she had to do but it only broke her heart more.

"You have to make a choice, Lady O’Brien" he states.
