Chapter 5 - Devils Deal

After a few hours Mittias woke in a cold sweat to a ceiling of a cave which was odd and so he throught "Talk about efficiency he killed me in a flash" as his breathing stabilized he started taking his surroundings in

CLANK

Look at his body, he moved his legs only to find they were chained together, each chain glowing with a low cyan colour making him as himself "This is a kinky thing to do" he closed his eyes as his dangling by his legs

Mattias looked left and then right opening his eyes at seeing his completely alone leading to him Letting out a sigh

As he sulked while dangling, a small hamster like creature latched onto his calf peeling flesh and sucking black sludge that oozed out instead of blood. "Owwww" he said in half slightly bored

Mattias just watched as it tore his flesh and ate it "Your really digging in there might

The creature was surprised at being caught and confused he could understand this weird big creature so it just ignored Mattias and continued tearing his flesh and eating it "It almost looks like your purposefully ignoring me"

The creature avoided eye contact and was sweating refusing to believe this guy was talking to him

Mittias closing his eyes in understanding gave a knowing mancing smile "so you can understand me"

The creature was hesitant but turned to look at him before nodding slowly confirming Mattias is suspicious

Mattias gave an even more menacing smile "since you chose to have a meal on my flesh I believe its only basic manners to help me as a favour"

"Basic manners?"

The voice came from the entrance.

Miras appeared walking into the cave with a huge bone with him his wings folded lazily as he stepped before Mattias "shouldn't be more worried about your situation"

Mattias coughed and looked away trying to hide his growing concern, "who said am not but am not a sissy to start shaking from some little intimidation" he said so while visibly shaking

Miras tilted his head. "Wow your really bad at lying" He sounded delighted at Mattias' cheezy answer. "But you don't have to worry I jusy want some answer to some questions I have"

Mattias, still suspended looked relived that he won'tbe dying again, watched Miras in anticipation "I don't know how much help what I can remember is but I will answer to the best I can"

"Thank you for cooperating, first do know your name." Miras leaned closer as he put the bone aside. "And can you tell me how you ended up there?"

Mattias was confused. This were odd questions. "Sure I am Mattias Astoria, I remember just waking up here a few days ago I do remember my old life or some of it at the very least alot of my memory is still fizzy."

"Hmmm that's not very helpful" Miras' hand landed on his chin "well for the most part you seem normal enough to release but, by any chance did you eat some ugly looking dog?."

Mattias gasped, and then entered a cold sweat at Miras's question. "Nope haven't seen any dog around?"

Miras looked at him then gave a sad expression. "Well if you find it please bring him back to me I have been looking for mister Pickles all week" he said so in a slow and dramatic voice.

Mattias smiled through clenched teeth as he sweated even more. "It was your pet."

Miras looked confused "What do you mean 'was my pet'?"

Mattias looked away in his panic. "Oh nothingI just wanted to know more about Mr Pickles so that I can identify him if I see him"

"Oh that makes sense well he has dotted fur and has a collar, his also 8 feet tall and weirds 400 pounds." Miras spoke with a cheerful smile as he described this abomination of a dog realistically where did he even find that beast

Mattias' closed his eyes as his expression became unreadable but then relief washed over him. "Talk about close call I had the wrong dog," he said with a joyful voice till he realized he spoke out loud

Miras hadn't expected this and was stunned for a moment. "I see, what colour was the dog?"

Mattias still happy responded "grey what's the matter"

Miras just smiled as he prepared to kill him, Mattias accepting his fate gave a final smile appreciating the life he lived, the dinners he had with Mr pickles jr, then dates they went on and even the late night talks they had. "Tell Mr Pickles am sorry."

Miras, with an unreadable expression Mattias closed his eyes preparing to be struck by an attack

Miras snapped his fingers, and the chains shattered.

Mattias fell toward the ground and hit the ground

Opening his eyes slowly, Mattias saw Miras Looking away dramatically as the hamster creature shown a light at him "Mr Pickles Jr would want you to be strong thats why he gave you that five to help you pay for your sick wife is medicine we can't dishonor him by fighting we must join together and rescue Mr Pickles for his sake"

After Miras's dramatic speech the hamster hit the back of his head with a paper fan as even for him this was some nonsense he was spewing

"Talk about buzz kill." His voice was joking

Mattias looked up at him shocked as he connected the dots "there is no Mr Pickles jr"

Miras grinned from ear to ear before he could Mattias also hit him on the head with a paper fun

Miras held his head from the hit "Hey that was uncalled for."

Mattias took a deep breath and put hus finger on hus chin "So what I ate was just some random creature but before we talk about anything else what the hell is up with that hamster thing" he pointed at the hamster that posed at the attention

Miras still with his hands on his head gestured to the hamster "that's a turd"

Before another else the hamster hit him again with the paper fan making Miras make a 360 spin in the air and then fall down

As he fell Mattias throught

"What a terrifying little guy"
