Chapter 7 - chapter 7

Back at Mammons room Marrow is stood guard out front. He knows Cam is there invisible and Cam knows he knows but they both say nothing. Just then Titana turns the corner and say "Hello Cam, hello Marrow."

At that moment Cam revokes his transparent form and stares at Titana in confusion before asking "How did you know i was there?"

"I ssssee in infared."

"Aren't you a little too strong for a weak shapeshifter?" Cam asks

"He's not a shapeshifter he's a species that is part human part beast and has no full human form they can't die of old age or disease and are really rare because the older they get the stronger they get. Björn was his older brother and the bear morphic." Marrow replies with a sigh

"We can be killed though." Titana says with a smile.

"Wait how old are you Titana?" Marrow asks with an inquisitive look.

"I'm fairly young only five hundred yearssss old. Five hundred and thirty eight to be precisssse."

"You two do me a favour and look over this room for me." Marrow says as he quickly runs off.

The two stand there in awkward silence for a solid minute before Cam drops the obvious question.

"You were a villain right?"

"Thatssss rich coming from you Camo world'ssss besssst sssspy."

"Aren't you a smart snake."

"Sssso everyone knows there'ssss a traitor right."

"Look slithers I don't know whether to trust you and those machete teeth yet so I ain't telling you shit."

"Where'ssss Ssssuzie?" Titana says in a cold demanding tone as he glares at Cam with obvious murderous intent.

"So you realised."

"YESSSS I FUCKING REALISSSSED NOW WHERE ISSSS SSSSHE?" He shouts as he slams Cam into a wall with his tail.

"We found her dead. She was eaten by something. The wounds are teeth but not yours and we can tell it isn't a zombie." Cam says in panic.

Titana instantly realises whats happened and his face distorts to pure rage.

"How many over have been found Camo?"

"Three, not including Suzie. All kills were done systematically."

"He only hassss a minor power trail him and get evidence sssso i can kill him." Titana says coldly.

After that Cam goes invisible and Titana is left on his own guarding Mammons room.

Elsewhere in a secluded alley there's the shine of metal and the sound of eating and the smell of death. Further down the alley there's a man feasting on a dead man who looks overweight but not much more as most of his body is mutilated by teeth and bites. The hidden cannibal slinks into the shadows and disappears entirely using the darkness to hide his escape.

In a much calmer room Robotica is sat with Toon who is in tears and starting to scratch at his skin.

"Hey, Tommy look at me. Take my hands. Focus on me, I'm here, Rose is alive, you saved so many." Robotica's gentle reassurance and guide helps Toon calm down as he holds Robotica's hands to stop the scratching.

"I always knew you would make a good dad." Marrow says from the doorway as he enters the room to see the two of them.

"Who's watching the room Boney." Robotica says in a flat tone whilst focusing on Toon.

"Cam and Titana."

Robotica nods and Marrow sits down with the two of them. Now Toon has started to calm down and removes his hands from Robotica's hold.

"You okay mate?" Marrow asks reassuringly.

"D-doing better now I know y-you two are okay. Do you know a-a-about the overs?" Toon asks with a shaky voice.

"Including us we know the fates of 5 in total. Us three are here somehow. Björn is bit and in semi-permanent hibernation in the deadlands. And Staminatrix is dead." Robotica says calmly.

"We're gonna lead an expedition to find Lady Life once we fix some leaky valves here in the sanctuary." Marrow says trying to lift the mood.

"There's a cannibal in our walls and the sins took one of our generals simple as that we're literally going to hell soon. Stop sugar coating it babe." Robotica replies as he rolls his eyes.

The room stay silent for a while before an emblem appears on the wall and a well dressed tall demon steps out.

"Such peasant action by the weak." The demon says as he looks down at them.

"Are your siblings coming?" All three immortals say in unison.

"No I'm here to negotiate."

"Go to Mammons room and bring all your siblings with you. We'll meet you there." Marrow say as all three heroes stand.

"I'll see you there." The demon replies before stepping back through the emblem."

Around five minutes later Mammons room is filled with 7 demons including Mammon and those who know of her kidnapping but Cam is no where to be seen. Within a minute weapons have been raised and everyone is seconds away from a fight.
