Chapter 35 CHAPTER 35: TISHA NANCY (A TRAGIC TALE) III
?*BANG*
The door to their room flew from its hinges and whizzed past them before crashing into the wall behind them with a loud bang.
Cold sweat ran down their back as the man and his wife recalled the speed at which the door had flown past them, just narrowly missing them. Under normal circumstances, they would be thankful that they had just escaped a near-death experience, but the fact that they were now exposed and at the mercy of the beastmen bandits that currently stood at the door of the room covered whatever happiness threatened to bubble up from escaping death.
"Hahahahaha," maniacal laughter filled the room as one of the intruders stepped in with a crazy look on his face,
" I smell humans," he sang creepily in an eerie voice.
"Scared humans… the scent of their fear is so strong," another similarly creepy voice came from just outside the room as another shadowy figure stepped inside the room.
"So strong, so delicious, and we haven't even done anything yet," a third voice came and another figure stepped into the room.
Due to the absolute lack of a light source inside the room, the man and his wife couldn't see any more than 3 shadowy figures with glowing green eyes, but then all of a sudden, a strong wind blew and pushed away the window blinds allowing moonlight to illuminate the room and what the man and his wife saw didn't help them feel any better.
There were 3 similar-looking humanoid figures, but they were as far from human as they could get. They had grey with black spotted hyena fur covering their bodies instead of skin, dog-like ears and tail with the same color as their fur, and sharp teeth and claws instead of nails, but the scariest parts were their glowing green eyes that only showed crazy chaos inside of them.
"This is gonna be so much fun," they all said at the same time with crazy smiles as they eyed their prey.
"Please take whatever valuables you want,"
"Don't hurt us," the man tried to reason with the 3 hyena brothers by acting like he had given defending, but inwardly all he was trying to do was to buy enough time for the MPA officers to arrive and take care of the situation.
"We don't care about all of that," the first one spoke nonchalantly,
"We just want to see you bleed," the second spoke with his lips tilting upwards even further into a wider but creepier smile,
"Especially after making us break through all those doors to get to you," the third one spoke with anger in his tone, but then they all said together with drool beginning to drip from their mouth and their claws elongating,
"All we want is to see you bleed," they made it clear that even though their temperaments seemed different from the other, they had one thing in common, their crazy lust for blood.
'They're crazy!!!' the man was able to quickly arrive at this conclusion due to their words, yet one look at his wife who was shivering beside him and unable to say a word, put him into even more of a tense predicament as he didn't know what to do.
'Why don't those MPA motherfuckers just arrive!' he screamed internally when he saw them beginning to circle around him and his wife.
Suddenly one of the hyena brothers stopped and began to sniff strongly with his nose in the air,
"Hey, bros, there are two extra scents here," he called out to his brothers after sniffing strongly for a little while.
For the first time since the 3 hyena brothers entered the room, the woman flinched and then quickly reacted as she felt a threat to her children's safety. With her motherly instincts taking over, and in a bid to protect her children at any cost, she began to run toward the hyena brother that had noticed her children's scent with her knife poised for a strike.
"MARTHA, NO!!!" the man shouted immediately he noticed her course of action but was unable to do anything as she was already out of his reach.
Undoubtedly, it was a brave move, but at the same time it was an extremely stupid move to make, as the beastmen were people with enough strength to swat her out of existence like a bug, but her motherly instincts didn't care about that as all she wanted to do was to terminate any threat to her children's existence.
As expected, the hyena beastman sent her flying with one swipe of his claws. She flew backward until she crashed into the walls and then fell face-first to the ground, no longer getting up as a pool of blood began to pool beneath her body.
"NO!!!"
"MARTHA!!!"
"ARGHHHHH!!!!" the man seemingly lost it and began to run toward the same beastman that had sent his wife flying.
This time, one swipe of the hyena's claws didn't send the man flying, but the arm that held onto his knife was cut clean from his body sending great pain through his body, but he didn't give up trying to attack the beastman and quickly grabbed a lamp and tried to slam it into the beastman, but was sent flying by a hit from behind.
He flew forward and fell to the ground, but he was still alive, heavily bleeding and a bit winded, but alive. It seemed like the attack wasn't meant to kill him, he thought as he staggered back up and looked behind him at his attacker.
Another of the hyena beastmen seemed to have been the one that had hit him from behind and sent him flying,
"You already broke one of the toys, let us have our fun as well," that beastman that had hit the man from behind said with a displeased tone to the one that had killed his wife.
"...Toy…" the man said with disbelief with tears beginning to drop from his eyes,
"BASTARDS, THAT WAS MY WIFE!!!" he screamed in rage as he picked up the knife from his dismembered hand that happened to be beside where he had fallen and began to run towards the beastmen fully intent on killing them or dying while trying to.
