Chapter 335: Meant To Be
"I don’ get it," muttered Désiré as he slowly made his way back to us. Every last living person in the hallway was staring at the spider who had just ripped Jonas’ head off. "Don’ girls hate spiders? Shouldn’t she be de one screamin’ and runnin’ away?"
"I think you forget who she is," sighed Dante. "She created demons, after all. Do you really think she is going to stress over a simple spider?"
"Simple spider?" grunted Dimitri. "Yous no gonna kill dat with a flipflop, dat’s fer sure."
Ever so slowly, Luca turned away from the bloody scene in front of us and looked at me. "We are going to have to find space for the Hellhounds," he kindly reminded me, taking my hand in his. "How about we leave the spider here, and once we have the hounds settled, we can come back for it. I think Tink also wanted company, so maybe we should look at getting another gator before the spider. We don’t want Tink to feel left out, do we?"
Narrowing my eyes, I stepped closer to Luca, resting my head against his chest. "Fine," I grumbled, knowing that he was right. Besides, I had cleaned up too many spiderwebs and killed too many spiders in my life. Who knew if the creature would take revenge on me for killing his cousins.
"That’s a good girl," nodded Luca, even as he gently stroked my head. "We still have a lot of levels to go through to get back to the surface. Maybe you’ll find something there to take back with you. Maybe something smaller?"
"And with less legs," grunted Désiré.
Realizing that they were right, I just didn’t like their tones; I nodded my head and started to walk toward the elevators. "I don’t think we are going to all fit," I muttered after a second. Turning around, I saw the arm of hounds following behind the guys silently.
Narrowing my eyes, I opened a random door and pointed inside. "Come on," I announced, taking a quick peak and seeing the house on the other side. "Get in, and don’t make a mess."
