The Children of the Blood Diamonds

Chapter 9: The End and The Beginning

(Nine years later)

"Come on Wally let me spot for him this time," Hoagie complained as Wally spotted for Butch.

"I've gotten another letter," Nigel said as he entered the gym.

"You still bother with her?" Wally asked in annoyance, "she still won't come off it," he reminded Nigel, "if she did she'd be free by now."

"It sounds so real though," Hoagie said, "I know Butch can't be easily killed," he admitted, "but Abigail's story about what happened years ago in that factory sounds almost like fact to me."

"Except for the fact that I'm alive, Wally isn't one-legged, and we deny seeing a red haired ancestor of Fanny," Nigel pointed out, "I told you Abigail was delusional and that you were to knock her out the moment you saw her," he reminded Hoagie, "she even told you that I sent you to her and I still deny that," he added.

"But my brother…" Hoagie started.

"Suffered the same delusions that she did," Nigel told him, "we told you about the weird thing that came into the factory and blasted both her and your brother," he said, "and Tommy admitted to not being sure about what happened years ago," he reminded Hoagie, "Abigail's the one who's stuck on this whole thing with Butch being practically immortal and remember how she stabbed him in his shoulder a week after the incident?" he added.

"Yeah," Hoagie said uncomfortably, "Butch was injured and you Nigel had to tend to his wound because he wouldn't trust anyone else."

"Can you blame me?" Butch asked frankly.

"No, I guess not," Hoagie said.

"I think we should call it a day," Wally said suddenly, "it's almost sunset," he added.

Butch and Nigel looked at each other.

"Yeah I agree," Nigel said, "hey Hoagie," he said to his friend, "let's head to the showers and let these losers pack up," he said with a laugh.

"Who you calling losers cue ball?" Wally demanded.

"He's just jealous of our blonde locks," Butch said simply and Nigel snorted, "we'll pack up," he said.

"Alright, let's go Hoagie," Nigel said and Hoagie nodded and followed Nigel.

"Do you think he suspects?" Wally asked.

"He has doubts," Butch said, "but he's still safe."

"Can we let the servants do this?" Wally asked, "I'm starving," he said and started salivating.

"Don't do that here," Butch said incredulously, "great, now acid has gotten unto the stuff," he said in annoyance.

"Sorry," Wally apologized.

"It's okay," Butch said, "we'll get them replaced before Hoagie comes back to the mansion again."

"I'm just glad we got away with it," Wally said frankly, "getting Tommy to stay quiet, you turning Nigel that day who in turn turned me, making Abigail seem like a crazy girl, claiming that you suffered delusions but somehow fought them off after the thing that made you mentally unstable struck both Tommy and Abigail, and I'm just glad that I didn't have to live my life as a one legged guy."

"I always thought that it would be bad if I allowed the curse to take over," Butch said reflectively, "on the contrary, it's freeing," he said happily.

"You got that right," Wally declared, "after you ate that Red girl your 'good nature' went under," he said, "and I'm glad it did," he continued, "emotions like love and kindness only hold you down," he concluded.

"So true," Butch agreed, "now I can feast on whoever I want without remorse," he stated, "and those we bite with means of turning feel the same."

"Plus we're granted hundreds more years of life," Wally said enthusiastically, "and we turn old," he said, "it's awesome."

"Soon there'll be millions of us," Butch said, "we even have some in politics and best yet, congress."

"I'm not interested in world domination," Wally said dismissively.

"Neither am I, but Nigel is," Butch pointed out.

"Good for him," Wally said and rolled his eyes, "let's eat."

"Mimi!" Butch shouted and a stout pale skinned maid came in, "please tidy up," he said and Mimi nodded.

"And Mimi," Wally said, "you know that annoying latino maid you dislike so much?" he asked and Mimi grinned, "you get to eat her tonight," he said and Mimi's grin grew wider, "just do it as she returns from that club she likes on that lonely road," he added.

"Of course," Mimi agreed, "I live to serve the owners of this mansion," she said and bowed to Wally and Butch.

"Exactly," Butch said and he and Butch both walked out of their in home gym.

They soon came to a room labeled storage. They entered and closed the door behind them. They went down the nearby metal winding stairs until they got to the huge steel soundproof door. Butch opened it single handedly and entered with Wally behind him. Wally closed it as the area became filled with cries of people of various ages, races, both genders, and social statuses.

"Ready to eat?" Butch asked Wally who was freely salivating green acid.

"You bet," Wally said in a voice that sounded like a deep monster's growl forming words.

Butch grinned evilly then immediately transformed. Wally had changed before him and was gnawing out the stomach of a chained prisoner.

Butch simply turned to the nearest prisoner, a sobbing richly dressed woman, and bit her head off.
