-----------------------------------------.

Shooosh!

Feifei screamed so loud as claw-like fingers came flying to get her!

The flesh eater's fingers unhinged from his hand and extended!

Really extended!!

Its gnarled fingers are almost like a bear trap, if a bear trap could reach out and grab you.

What madness is this?!

Yuan squinted his eyes as he leisurely made a slicing motion with his hand.

ZAP!

And the claw-like fingers were smoothly cut off!

The flesh eater's eyes almost popped out from their sockets as it lit with savage fierceness!

He wailed and screamed as it leaped and jump in madness! Its struggling and pulling hard from its chains more vigorously than ever!

His chest heaved up and down in aggressiveness as he frantically claw on the chains and chomp them like crazy!

And the sound of his metal like teeth chomping the chains makes Feifei's blood curdle! His heart is pumping so hard that his ears are buzzing with the loud sound from it.

Feifei felt numb.

He stared dumbfounded at those root like fingers.

Like their tentacles, their fingers are like twisted trees and a gnarled hand of a witch! But instead of it being greasy, the fingers are as rough and dry as sandpapers!

And their claws!

Their claws are long, thick and sharp. If this claw catch a part of you, it would automatically sink into your skin like jelly. The only escape there is would be amputation. Either your limbs or the flesh eaters.

"Yuan..." Feifei grabbed Yuan's shirt as he stared at the crazy flesh eater jumping and thrashing around like a lunatic.

Yuan wrapped Feifei's shoulder in his arms in a half embrace.

"Ssh.. I'm here, baby." Yuan hook his arm around Feifei's head and kissed his temples.

Feifei looked up at Yuan. His eyes wide with terror.

"Can we survive a wave of flesh eaters?"

Yuan held Feifei's waist as he held Feifei at his side.

"We can only do our best."

"Yuan, is this flesh eater mute?"

"No. I spelled him that way."

Feifei looked at Yuan with a complicated expression.

How powerful is his man? Despite the tense atmosphere and his near death scare, Feifei can't help a smug smile from erupting his lips.

Yuan raised a brow seeing Feifei's prideful smile. But he did not comment on it. He is just simply glad Feifei has somehow managed to find enjoyment from this gruesome experience.

Anything that can make Feifei smile is good. Yuan brought Feifei closer to his side and kissed his forehead.

His eyes full of doting.

"Why did you hex his voice?"

"His voice is not....pleasant."

"Really?"

"I can let him speak. You be the judge."

"Wait..! Wait..!" Feifei frantically held Yuan's hand.

Yuan tilted his head at Feifei.

"Why did his fingers unhinge? Can they all do that?"

"I don't know. But they can extend their fingers as far as two meters. These fingers are attached by their ligaments and works as their flying claw if they want to drag back a runaway victim."

Listening to what Yuan said, Feifei's eyes widen in horror! How can a flesh eater be this...abhorrent?!

They are really especially built to hunt, to feed and to gnaw on humans! A terrible predator!

If humans will not sweep the world clean of them, sooner or later, their society will be infested with their filth. If these flesh eaters live secretly with them, it would be like hell.

Everyday would be like a sea of blood!

There will always be torn pieces of flesh and mangled limbs everywhere like common cabbages!

"Is there a lingering hope of an escape if flesh eaters set their eyes on you?" Feifei whispered underneath his breath.

"If its still not in their mouths, there is still a chance. As long as you are not caught by their tentacled tongue."

"But with their fingers that can chase you up from a distance of two meters, its all about agility and a quick mind." Yuan added as an after thought.

Feifei was stuck on Yuan's first comment. He did not give attention to his succeeding statement.

"Huh? What about their tongue?"

"You just see their tentacles slimy. But its actually sticky. It sucks flesh."

"W..what?!" Feifei leaned back as if he received a heavy blow. With one hand, he covered his throat. Stopping himself from puking his guts out.

"Their tentacles are like adhesives. Its almost impossible to pull out from their grip once your caught. Not unless you risk stripping your skin right down to your bones."

W...what? If a tentacle catch you, the only way out is to have your skin peeled like a banana?! Wouldn't that make you see your skeletal bones?!

It would be a disaster if flesh eaters multiply like the vermin they are!

"Are flesh eaters rabid? I mean, are their bites contagious?"

"No, baby. They are not contagious. Flesh eaters are especially made the way they are."

"Are you sure it's not like a disease that has a probability of contamination if were exposed to their blood or whatever fluids?" Feifei asked with a clear mind.

But he is in a panic!

If these creatures give birth to more of their kind, heavens! He would rather die by his own hand than feel those nauseating teeth chomping on his flesh and bones!

"I'm sure. Flesh eaters can only be made through Dark Arts. Not through whatever mode of contamination."

Hearing what Yuan said, Feifei somehow felt relieved. Things couldn't get worse as it is now. But knowing this one fact is a consolation. Things could get out of hand faster if this flesh eaters recruit soldiers through biting.

Feifei is so involved and busy imagining all the gruesome possibilities and the probability of humans surviving this calamity called flesh eater.

When suddenly, he felt the hairs at the back of his neck raise.

When he glanced over his shoulder, he cringed.

His eyes collided with the flesh eater's eyes which are as cold as eel. He is intently looking at him as if he is a delicacy!

And to make matters worse, even his multiple, glassy serpent-like tongue is crazily waving at him like a long time playmate ---beckoning him to come close.

Feifei rubbed his arms. The flesh eater's eyes makes him feel like he is being drowned by his drool!

He can almost even feel his numerous serpent-like tongue wrapping his body. It would be cold, smooth, wet, and slippery. A preparation for the inevitable chomping feast to come.

Mother...!

These flesh eaters really came crawling from the deepest corners of hell!

From their repulsive smell to their horrendous mouth, to their scale like flesh and rotten skin to their retractable fingers ----these flesh eaters are a true embodiment of the word monsters!

They are a nightmare to behold! Even angels and saints would scurry and disperse in fear with just their gruesome sight alone!

Feifei scuttled close to Yuan.

"Can you...can you let him speak?"

Yuan looked at Feifei in surprise. He never thought Feifei could be this brave. He was just scared at the onset. But he is getting braver by the second.

Good! A corner of Yuan's mouth lifted in satisfaction. Seeing how Feifei quickly dealt with his emotions, Yuan is proud of him.

"I really thought flesh eaters are like mindless monsters, you know?" Feifei added as he glanced at the salivating flesh eater behind him.

"They are not mindless. They are getting smarter."

Feifei stared at Yuan.

Yuan kissed his nose.

"I will undo the spell. You can have a chat with him. But you have to be prepared. His voice is somewhat...unnatural."

Yuan glanced at the flesh eater with nonchalance.

Humans may find it a struggle to fight against them. But with enough magic, you can just blow them up.

Unfortunately, magic is exhaustible but these flesh eaters are endless. Unless you find their Maker. Yuan silently added to himself.

-----------------------------------------.

Hello everyone!!

I'm not sure how you envisioned the flesh eaters.

But I hope the flesh eater I gave life to did not disappoint you.

I really wracked my brains on how to create this creature that would be passable enough to be called a monster.

I even gave myself a nightmare just conjuring these weird images in my mind! Hahaha.

Megan_Meijian, is this the kind of monster you thought it to be? (-_;)

Guys,

This would be the last icky description of the flesh eaters. I don't know if its explicit enough?

If its not, please..please let me know so I can work on it. It will be a challenge but I will give it my best shot!

I'm hoping you guys would have a picture in your mind how gruesome and scary these flesh eaters are.

So when my characters would tremble before these monsters, I'm hoping that somehow, you can say "oh~ I understand you there!"

If I ever see a flesh eater's mouth in real life, I, myself, would certainly shake like a leaf and piss in my pants! Haha

The latter part would be a chomp-chomp. I can downplay the gore or I can go full blast. Let me know what you think.

If my description of flesh eater is not thorough enough, In the latter part, I can try my hardest to expound on the nitty-gritty details when flesh eaters play Napoleon and wage their campaigns for territories.

By the way, for the smut, its going to be like a BDSM genre at a later part. Not all of course, but...you'll see.

So please proceed with caution when you see a warning.

Any comments would be most welcome as this would greatly benefit my writing.

To all of you, thank you so much!!

I really appreciate you reading my chapters!

Hoping to hear more from you!

YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE! (*o*)
