Chapter 149: Inside Out

An infestation...

Of those creatures!?

Oh shit, they are fucked aren't they...?

"Pruno, can you detect those things too?" Luke asked as he outside by the window, the sky was slowly turning grey as rain poured down the sky- Which was not something common on Camp Half-Blood, since a God had to will it to rain insdie this place. He knew that Eny could detect those things, since he literally ate one just now, but Pruno helped him get it out of Annabeth's soul- All he saw was Eny's jaw unhinge while Annabeth opened her eyes in pain, wailing silently as Pruno's eyes glowed white, and seconds later, this black sludge leaves through her chest into Eny's jaw. The creepiest thing about the sludge was that it had eyes and mouths, mouths that wailed and screamed.

"Yeah, i can." Pruno panted slightly, the thing was more resistant then he thought it would be- And if half of the camp is infected by these things... Then what would happen? "We need to take those things out, i don't know what they can do, but something tells me they weren't... Adults." A shiver ran downLuke's spine as he thought about what it implied, what it could mean- "Those things... They haven't grown to maturity yet. BUt they are, i bet they are, right now." Eny suddenly raised his head, his form was flickering between beast and man as he growled, his eyes glowing gold as horns growed out of his forehead, he was entering his [True Form], or his Demonic form.

An extra pair of arms bursted out of his skin, splashing his golden blood on the ground and walls, those two arms suddenly shifted into wolf paws as Enychta took a large wolf form with now 6 paws, a pair of bull-like horns on his head, and a strange wolf tail that was thin, like, too thin. "Awoo!" He howled, his glowing golden eyes darting around as he tried to bite something invisible- Then, something shrieked loudly, something was caught between Eny's jaws as he crunched down.

Flickering like a light from a horror movie, a strange creature appeared in front them- A black, thin insect-like being full of holes through it's whole body, from those holes, a black liquid poured down as Eny bit it, he pulled his jaw back as a piece of the thing came along with it, Eny only threw that piece away in disgust before his tail moved, impaling the body of the creature... It's reaction was strange, it only opened itself up before letting out a silent wail, then it simply turned into a pool of black goo. It smelled so terrible that it made Eny whine, pulling away.

Well, at least Pruno and Luke thought he winced due to the smell of the thing, but in reality, Eny heard an explosive wail come out of the creature, it invaded his mind, making him revive every single bad thing that ever happened to him before- BUt he couldn't remember what he went through, only that it made his heart hurt badly. It was like he watched someone imporant to him dying, over and over again, not being able to do anything about and being force to watch it- Worse yet, like he watched someone he loved being tortured endlessly, being in pain when he cannot help them at all. He immediatly turned to look at the two most important people on this world, his two beloveds, but seeing that they were alright, his heart felt a little lighter than before.

"You okay, Eny?" Pruno touched the giant wolf's mane, making Eny huff and nuzzle his head on his cheek and lick his hand in reassurance, his tail wagging a little when he felt Luke touching him as well- They could feel that he wasn't alright, but they couldn't feel exaclty why he wasn't well, only that he wasn't well- Like how they couldn't show him their memories and try to make him remember his through their memories... They tried, but it didn't work, which meant it was due to something that involved the Eldritch Beings. They were mindfucking with him and he was stopping them from interacting with it in any way, shape, or form- Something he was doing subconsciously.

And albeit that was sweet, it was also sad, he protected them even without knowing he was protecting them.

"Eny, we-" He couldn't finish his sentece because the six-legged wolf that Enychta now was, jumped through the window and ran towards the camp, so he jumped after. He did not know, however, that Enychta felt something wailing, a soundless scream of a soul in pain, that was familiar to him! His demonic nature was very sensitive to souls you see, and the fact that he ate several of them while in Tartarus also increased his sensitivity for Soul's screams of pain- They tend to scream when they are being devoured you see.

"ENY!" Luke easily caught up to to the wolf as it ran forward, with a purpose, that was when a scream echoed through the camp!

-Scene Cut-

[Singed by ???]

[It has a rythm like the Crooked Man]

There was a lonely shadow.

Dancing in the light.

It moved like a cat.

Giving others a fright.

It crawled through the windows.

It bolted through the doors.

It dived in the darkness.

It creeped through the floors.

That shadow was so lonely, so lonely in the night.

Until it found a wailing darkness that it made it's wife.

Together they had children, children up to three.

Evil, Hunger, and Fear.

Who each took for of animals

Raven, Rat, and Deer.

Dread creatures of flesh and blood.

And bone, and teeth, and eyes.

Gruesome beings that scream upon the endless night.

Just as the wails of their voices echoed in the void.

A lonely shadow heard them screaming saw the gruesome sight.

All those voices and whispers that the shadow annoyed

Found a head full of love and decided to it destroy

The head was of the son of night, the poor little boy

Who could not help himself against this voices and dark groy.

'Oh little boy, come join us in the dark.'

It called the poor child, who screamed and shouted and madness sprout

It made him mad, it made him cry, it made him turn wild

But in the end, sadly, it turned him inside out.
