Chapter Twenty-Five

                                    

                                          
After Hooty screamed, all the lights in the house went out.
"HOOTY!!!" I turned off the stove and ran into the living room with King tailing behind me.
"W-what is that?!" King cried out as my voice wouldn't work.
What greeted us was something I never seen before. It was a massive beast with glowing yellow eyes but I couldn't see what it looks like. It was too dark and the lighting outside didn't help either.
The beast growls at us and like a phantom, it vanishes into the rain.
I quickly made my way over to Hooty and sighed out in relief when I saw that he was only knocked out but his door was unhinged. 
"King have you seen a beast like that before?! H-How did it get past the field spell and Hooty?!"
I was trying to stay calm but after seeing the size of that thing, I really wished I could use magic like everyone else here.
King thought for a moment and shakes his head nervously," No, I've never seen anything like before not even at the night market with mom."
That made sense....wait!!!
"King we gotta go check on mom!!! She doesn't know about the beast!!!" 
King's eyes widen and scooped him into my arms as we sped up the stairs towards her room. Praying that she's okay and just sleeping the exhaustion away.
'Please let her be okay...'
We made it to her bedroom door and I yanked it up. This was my first time seeing momma room, there was a big vanity with one of the biggest mirrors I've ever seen on it by the massive round glass stain window, that was scattered, and instead of a bed, there was a big comfy birds nest that upon closer inspection. Had alot blankets, pillows and weird shiny treasures.
Her room was a bigger mess than most of the orphanages I've lived at but you can tell it was her own kind of chaotic system like how my room is.
But momma wasn't anywhere in sight and my heart started to race as the claws of fear began to grip my chest.
"S-She's not here... What are we gonna do s-sis?" 
King was shaking in my arms, terrified at the thought of momma being....
Grrrrrooowwwwlllll
The beast was here....
King's P.O.V 
As we  slowly turned around I could see that the beast itself had a very strange yet familiar face. It's eyes were pitch black, it's was super feathery, and the beast was the size of rat cart!!
Both Luz and I took one look at it and ran out the room as the beast was rapidly tailing behind.
Luz scooped me into her arms quickly as the beast was gaining on us. With her quick thinking, we ducked into one of the closets nearby. I could feel Luz trembling as she held me close to her.
"Luz? What are we gonna do?"
"I don't know King, I haven't seen a beast like it before. Not even the ones in the forest are this destructive."
My mind was racing as I went through every single demon I knew by heart from all the demonology books and textbooks mom got me but nothing!
I couldn't figure out what type of demon beast it was and I starting to panic. Luz wasn't far behind on the panicking part too but she kept a straight face.
I was ready to my head in when I remembered something I took from mom's room eariler today. I quickly pulled out a weird glowing orange potion I nicked from her night stand.
