“No,” Hairy said.
“Can I take my phone?Otherwise, I won’t be able to call someone to take care of the cats.It has all my phone numbers on it.”
One of the cats started scratching at the bedroom door.
If it had only been one monster in my room, I might have tried to fight.But three?All of whom were a foot or two taller than me?I didn’t stand a chance.
Hairy nodded.“You may pick up your phone.”
I did, and I scooped up the tracker and put it in my pocket along with the phone, which was super awkward with my hands cuffed together.“If I vanish, leaving all my stuff, the human authorities will look for me.My father will think I’m dead.”
“If we do our job right, everyone will think you’re dead.”Praying Mantis smiled.In the light, they didn’t look that much like a praying mantis, but they did have lots of weird, hard scales covering their body, or at least the bits I could see.
All the monsters were wearing a uniform, even though they seemed to be wearing different versions because they were all built differently.And each piece of the uniform had a logo on it, and what I assumed was their name written in a language I couldn’t read.
Hairy crouched and dragged me to the floor with him.Beneath my bed was the swirling golden vortex, far bigger than I had ever seen it, but then I only looked after Farrow was gone.
Oh shit.They were really taking me across the bridge.
“Don’t try anything stupid, as those cuffs will bounce any magic straight back on you,” Praying Mantis said from the other side of me, where they were now crouched.They placed a limb on the back of my head, pushing me down further.
Then I was tumbling across.
Or at least my stomach was tumbling.
I tripped, but was held upright by Hairy, and when I looked up, I was no longer in the bedroom.I was… I had no idea where I was.
The room was much bigger than the bedroom, pale blue and sterile, and all smooth surfaces.Hairy kept hold of my arm, as if expecting me to make a run for it.Run where?
I was in Farrow’s world, and I had no idea where he lived or how to call him.And if I only got one call, I didn’t want to use it on the cats.
Chapter28
Farrow
When I finishedwork and checked myScream and Steamaccount, the messages were blowing up for all the wrong reasons as I hadn’t released a new video…that was meant to be tonight’s job.
I scowled as I scrolled through them.Had something gone viral?
Love the way you made it fit.
So jealous.Will you post that here?
Throwing coins at you for more.My eyes widened.They had thrown quite a few coins into my account.But what were they referring to?
That was gross.
Monsters shouldn’t fuck humans.
I hope you lose your job.
Oh shit…
Someone had added a link to the video in their comment.I hit the link, needing to see what the damage was, even though in my gut I already knew.I sank onto the bench in the change room and made sure the volume on my phone was turned off.The video had been posted to a social media account with a throwaway handle, but there I was fucking Timothy.Not that anyone would’ve known it was me, as the only part visible was my cock, if my brother hadn’t added a link to myScream and Steamaccount.
I was going to kill him.Rip my horns through his stomach and feed his intestines into his big, fat, screaming mouth before pulling them out of the gaping wound in his stomach.
I scrubbed a hand over my mane.
