[Sswiiiworm]

A pitch-black cocoon with snow-white lining, grows from Sirus's back and slowly devours him whole.

[Ke-Click]

"S-SIRUS!!"

"Is…...He…"

"I....Don't kno…."

"What di....This!"

"It's…..To hard…..To...!"

"Don't…...You….!"

Several hours before, all hell came loose.

"You know, Sasha."

[Chop]

[Bang]

[Chop]

"Hmmm, Yes dear?"

"Hasn't Sirus been well, too quiet? He usually always makes a racket"

"Now that you mention it, he has been too quiet for the past hour. Even when he sleeps peacefully, It's never this. Quiet." She glances at Ethan with a worried look and stops chopping up the meat..

"You take over, while I go check on Sirus." She replies

As Ethan watches Sasha walking to Sirus's room with hurried steps. Ethan has this deep unsettling feeling in his chest.

As Ethan goes to pick up the butcher knife.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH! MY SIRUS!"

Ethans looks back to where his wife just went and suddenly a cold shiver runs up his spine. He jumps into a sprint to Sirus's room.

A deep frown creeps over Ethan's face as he approaches Sirus's room.

Ethan arrives behind Sasha's back and tells her what's wrong with Sirus before looking into Sirus's room and seeing a pile of blood on the floor and a pitch-black cocoon with snow-white lining.

Ethan takes a step back and continues to stare at the horrifying mess.

Sasha glances at Ethan's condition and slaps him on the cheek.

"ETHAN! TAKE SIRUS TO THE DOCTOR NOW!" She exclaims whilst weeping uncontrollably. She falls to her knees and stares at the black object and the pile of blood back and forth.

She yells and pulls her hair apart..

"SOMEONE HELP MY CHILD!!!"

Her voice echoed throughout the whole village.

Her Mana flares up like an uncontrollable fire, projecting her voice by several folds.

Ethan finally snaps out of his daze as he hears her wife scream like unlike he ever heard before.. He looks at the black object and falls on his knees and gently picks it up. Though with slight effect as it seemed to stick to the blood surrounding it

[ZzzzzZcroom]

The moment he picks up the black object the blood on the floor instantly turns pitch-black like the object and hardens rock solid. Ethan bolts outside of his house and runs towards where the doctor resides.His breath haggard, hands and clothes covered in the pitch-black blood, countless demons rush out of their houses and sees Ethan covered in a black liquid and sees him holding a strange black object.

Sasha continued to scream and that made the whole village run towards their house.

"She's in here!"

"Ms Sasha, what happened to you!"

The villagers rushed towards Sirus's room, where they see Sasha on her knees with her hands on her hair, ripping it apart, she looks up at the panicked demons and continues to scream and weep uncontrollably.

"What's all of that black liquid on the floor!?"

"Ms Sasha, I beg of you please stop screaming and tell us what happened!"

Sasha looks towards all the villages and continues to scream.

"MY CHILD! AHHHHHHH!" She cries out in agony.

A confused look spread across everyone's faces.

"Some of you follow me! And look for her child!"

"Alright!"

But before they could step out of the room, Sasha yells.

"MY HUSBAND!" She screams as she points to where Ethan ran off to with the cocoon in hand.

With a look of surprise and confusion on their faces, the villages stare at Sasha, not knowing what to do.

One of the villages remembered something as they ran over.

"I saw her husband outside covered in some black liquid, holding a black object. Is her child inside of that? Don't tell me that black liquid is actually blood."

Before taking further action, the villages murmur among themselves.

One of the villages who was the biggest out of the group, nearest to Sasha, shouts out to the other villagers.

"All of the female's that are here comfort Ms Sasha and look after her, while the men chase after her husband!" He roars while lifting his fist in the air.

"He must be the one behind all of this!"

"Let's chase after that bastard!"

All of the male demons rush outside and run towards where Ethan was running to..

The female's demons rushed to Sasha's aid while trying to calm her down.

[Bang!]

The door slams open hard as Ethan arrives at the doctors house. Standing at the front counter, He eyes darts around the room, looking for any signs if the doctor is home.

"Huff, huff, Doctor! DOCTOR! Where are you? I need you! Huff, huu."

A curtain behind the counter swings open and a demon with ram-shaped horns, black glasses, a long white robe, and long pointy ears rushes out to see who is causing such a ruckus.

"Mr Ethan!" He shouted while looking at Ethan's figure up and down, seeing him coved is some kind of black liquid and seeing a black cocoon in Ethan's arms.

Ethan replies while looking at the Doctor with an intense worried look while weeping uncontrollably. "M-my, son! I-i, don't know what happened. One moment he's fine, then he went quiet and we saw a pile of black liquid with this black object surrounding it!" He answers while looking at the black object. 

The Doctor surprised at his response and did not know immediately what the right course of action was. He kneels in front of Ethan while putting his long pointy ears on the object, looking out to hear any signs of life. Ethans looks at the Doctor in front of him and tries to wipe the tears from his eyes.

"I-I, hear a faint heartbeat!" The doctor exclaims in shock.

Ethan glances at the Doctor's response and slowly gives a slight smile with a reply.

"Is my son in this black cocoon object?"

The Doctor looks at Ethan and shakes his head as he does not know.

"I don't know if your son is in this weird object but we can only assume so for now." He assumes while looking down and shaking his head with a frown.

"What s-should we do then?" Ethan stutters while looking at the cocoon still.

The Doctor replies. "Bring it to my office and place it on the table." He says as he leaves for his office while completing what to do.

Ethan gets up from his knees and rushes to catch up to the Doctor.

Momentarily, they arrive and Ethan places the object slowly on the table, the Doctor pushes all of the paper off his table.

He looks at the object while saying.

"Ethan, where is your wife? She should be here in case anything happens."

He glances at the Doctor and nods his head in agreement before rushing outside.

"What is this strange object? Is Sirus really inside of this thing?" The Doctor asks with a confused look while he puts his hand on his chin to ponder.

As Ethan runs towards his house, he stops as countless of the villagers appear in front of him and stare at Ethan with fury in their eyes.

"There he is!"

"What have you done to your son Ethan!"

"I-I don't know what happened! W-wait! What are you doing!" Ethan shouts as he raises his arms to his face to defend against the sudden barrage of attacks.

One of the villagers kicks Ethan in the back and he gets launched several metres away and into a tree, vomiting out a mouthful of blood.

"Argh!" He coughs as blood drools down on the side of his mouth.

He tries desperately to shout and explain that he needs to find his wife, but all of the villagers have rage and fury lit in their eyes and continue to beat up Ethan.

A few moments later a 3 and a half metre demon with an average build and horns that are facing forwards and short grey hair approaches the crowd and shouts.

"Enough!" His voice shook the area, kicking up dust.

The demons looked at who shouted and shrank their backs in fear.

Ethan on the ground curled up like a ball covered in bruises and dirt, slowly tilting his head up, only to see the Village Chief, standing furious at the other villages.

"Village Chief, what are you doing here!" One of the villages asks with a confused look.

"Argh… You just had to wake me up and beat up a fellow demon without knowing the situation." He shouts as he spat on the floor with an angry look at all of the villages.

The villages looked at one and another before one of the villages replied.

"Sir, Ethan has done something to his child and we saw him run off with a strange black object covered in black liquid." He claims.

The Village Chief looks down upon Ethan who is curled up like a hedgehog and sees the tree Ethan got launched into, snapped in half, with his arms crossed and sees the remains of strange black liquids on his clothes.

The Village Chief stares at the villages and declares.

"This father did not steal his wife's child but took him to the Doctor." He sighed as he looked down and shook his head.

"Ehhhhhhh!?"

The Village Chief facepalms his face as he couldn't believe the bad response Sasha gave the villagers earlier, causing this whole misunderstanding.
