《Saer Servitude》Chapter 19
Advertisement
Squid like creature tightened its grip on them. Saer's hands were tied by the tentacles, so he had no way to access his sword. But Fierlo had reached to his dagger and was stabbing the monster till another tentacle snatched away his only weapon.
"I don’t see its mouth. It won't eat us." Fierlo said to Saer.
The monster spread its tentacles to expose a mouth with countless teeth. Both of them could get crushed inside the huge mouth at once. The only thing to find out was the first person going to be under the sharp teeth first.
"AAHHHH-" Saer screamed in fear, but something covered his mouth.
It was not any tentacle but was a normal sized hand.
Human hand.
Turned out, the hand belonged to the same man who had been running in the passage.
"Quiet!" he said by looking at Fierlo.
The man untied sword from Saer's back and caught it softly before it could fall on the door.
"What are you doing? Help us!" Fierlo fired at him.
Monster heard it and caught the third man as well.
"Calm down. They are not here to hurt you." Man said to the monster, but it would take none of those words.
Now it was about to eat three of them at once. But all of a sudden, the creature's mouth disappeared.
Monster panicked when he realized he was missing his mouth from its body. Dismay was visible in its huge eye, but there was nobody to see fear grow in its gigantic eye.
Creature dropped them and began touching the region where his mouth used to be, by its slippery tentacles.
"See!" the man showed the squid like animal a bag.
It watched him as if it was pleading. He opened a door, without removing his eyes off it, "Be a nice woman." He said and threw his bag inside the room.

The monster crawled inside the room.
"Good woman." Man said and locked the door.
Then he moved his attention towards the two men, "Rule number one. Don’t scream here."
"What just happened?" Saer was breathing heavy while removing slime off his body.
"How did its mouth disappear?" Fierlo asked by getting on his feet.
"I can make mouths of monsters disappear once a day for a while." Said the man, "One monster a day."
"Monsters?" Fierlo said by passing Saer his sword.
Snoring came from the room where the squid like creature was locked in.
"Didn't you hear them sleeping?"
"Them? How many of them have you been living with?" Fierlo was stunned.
"Wait! Isn't this Calajhan's home?" Saer intervened.
"No. this is Tadeas' creation. A place where he sends his foes to die."
"What about you?"
"He tested this place on me."
"And your name?" Fierlo interrogated.ve
"I don’t have any, but you can call me Housekeeper." Housekeeper said, "I will name myself once I get out of this place."
Rapid breathing became audible from some near distance.
"Can you make his mouth disappear too?" Saer drew his sword.
"One monster a day." Housekeeper repeated himself.
This time, Saer looked more scared than Fierlo.
A regular sized dog came running in the passage with a big bag clutched between his jaws.
"Shit!" Housekeeper watched the dog run past them.
"Is it a monster as well?" Saer asked.
"No. A family dog. Guardian of the door."
"Hey." Fierlo came in front of him, "Why the hell do you look scared? Dog went away without even glancing at us."
Housekeeper had turned pale.
"How long have you been here?" asked Saer.
"Does Tadeas still sleep on the street?" Housekeeper had queries of his own.
"He owns a big house now."
The question answer gave Fierlo an idea of how much time Housekeeper had spent with the monsters in there. Housekeeper was talking about things that had happened decades ago.

Find a way back home? Or stay and change the flow of time? A little note here; this story is a bit rushed. Considered that it is old and I have little time to revise the story whole. But unless you dont mind it and decided to just read it for the sakes out of it, then be my guest... Not in a offending way obviously.
