Chapter 15
Duo calmed his heavy breathing and sighed with contentment, savoring every last second of the elation that came with killing. He hadn’t done something like this in so long. Too long. Eons.
Duo licked the knife, sucking down the remaining liquid that once pumped through the bulging veins of the pig he had considered a friend for so many years. She always had such pretty veins. He was overjoyed to have finally gotten to puncture them. And on a mission of revenge too. Satisfied, He shifted Peppa’s warm, heavy body to the floor, a small smile emerging onto his face when he heard it thud onto the flood, and hauled the screeching glass door back open again, off to take a shower.
“Conjug?” Duo whispered, gently awakening the glistening frog who was still asleep on the bed.
“Mmmmm” Conjug moaned, clearly displeased with his return to the bright, awake world.
“Let’s go to Moldy Voldy’s Castle. I’ve heard a growing number of reports describing rather exciting events there. Forget Peppa. Runaway with me my love.” Duo begged.
Still half asleep and not entirely sure of who Peppa was, nor who was talking to him for that matter, Conjug nodded and whispered “sounds fun” before promptly resuming snoring. Duo took this as agreement and began to pack for their journey, arranging for subway tickets and folding clothes away into suitcases. He drew curtains over the sliding door, leaving Peppa’s unmoving body where it lay, and then woke Conjug to set off. They arrived at the Castle the next day.
