Black Cat In The Rue Morgue Novels & Stories

As expected from his silly-cute brother-in-law, the doorbell rang before the scheduled time. Chuckling to himself, Noah merrily hopped to the door and swung it open to welcome his brother-in-law with a big smile, and… nearly got a heart attack!!! 😱 A scream of bloody murder got stuck in Noah’s throat, coming out as a cute squeak that perfectly matched his current appearance of a Bambi caught in the headlights. Stiffly he gaped at the walking corpse standing in front of his door. It was dressed in black from head to toe, making the sickly pallor of its skin appear even more discomforting. The sharp contrast of black and white didn’t stop there, the huge dark circles underneath its eyes looke

His arms were bruised, his face swollen, and his chest ached with each breath. — Am I alive… or barely alive? — he wondered. Then he heard it. A faint click. The sound of a lighter. The flame illuminated a face that looked carved from stone. Salvatore Al Moro. The Black Scorpion. Seated behind an antique desk, with a glass of cognac in one hand and a lit cigar in the other, he watched him unhurriedly. His dark eyes, deep as bottomless pits, pierced through him with that stillness that is more terrifying than a scream.

It was a beautiful morning as the son graciously rose from the east. It hot effect was subdued by the freezing temperature. A Lamborghini stopped in front of the black market and the gates pushed up. It drove into the place and Morgana got down. She was on a black coat whose collar projected to up to her face. Her lips were painted black and her eye lashes were darker than the normal. Her high heels were also black as she catwalks toward Hayato whose guards moved toward her.

He walked towards it and crouched in front of it. “What are you looking at, Rune?” asked Adrienne who bent her knees down beside her son. Then, she saw that a black cat was playing its paws against an injured bat that was still trying to move its wings. And while the mother and son looked at the dead creature that was attacked by a black cat, a shadow loomed over them casting darkness on their sight. Blocked at sight and loomed over by an unfamiliar presence, Adrienne lifted her head to see an already forgotten face. Her face immediately turned cold and ashen.

"You must be the Moonwhore..." He chuckled lowly and my skin raised in hearing the familiar name before. Without time to ask, I was approached by him and separated by the raise of the sharp tip at the end of my fingers. "Stay the fuck away from me!" I shouted as he only cocked his head. "You think I'm afraid of death, girl? You don't know where you are..." My eyes moved for only a second to realize it was a morgue. Cold. Dark. Dank. And now ironic if he were to best me.

The claw marks felt like they were tearing open again. We turned down a corridor. The walls were lined with portraits of past headmasters and headmistresses. Their painted eyes seemed to judge me as I passed. They had all kept their students safe. They had all succeeded where I was failing. The morgue was in the basement. We would soon have to take the stairs hidden behind my office’s bookshelf. Each step down would feel like a small death. I could already imagine the stings. That's when I saw it. The thing was small. Child-sized. It moved along the wall like a shadow given form. Its body was covered in scales that looked wet and black in the dim light. The face was wrong. All wrong. Too man

I hung up. I rested my chin over my knuckles, casually staring at the nothingness in front of me as if it was a very normal thing to do. It's impossible for me to acquire that virus. There's no way I'm going to interact with anyone, especially now that there's a very reasonable excuse not to. Suddenly, a black and purple blur crossed my vision. I whipped my head to the side, following its trajectory. It was a butterfly.

Everyone nods in agreement before we are magically transported to a stunning, gothic hallway cleary located in another building. The walls around us are painted in a midnight black color, with stars spattered throughout the hallway in bright white lights. The stars illuminate the hall, serving as the only means of lighting throughout the long hall. Pictures adorn the section of the wall to my right. A picture of Morgana in a medieval dress is put up at the front of the row of beautiful women. Morgana moves up beside me without a word. Her gaze moves over the pictures of the women, a distant look on her face.

I glared at him but he ignored me. Just open the door, Allyson. You can kill him later. I raised my hand to touch the door but I felt numb, like the fear was coming back all over again. Caleb, on the other hand, couldn't wait anymore and when he pushed open the door, I saw the same girl that asked for my help, lifeless and with the same symptoms as the other bodies that had turned up before. No pupils, no fangs, black blood all over the floor. _________________________________________________________

Gasping for breath, I turned around, instantly regretting the decision. There stood a rogue, a colossal creature compared to its ordinary counterparts. Blood dripped from its jagged fangs that had a hand between its grip, a limb that belonged to an unknown victim who was certainly dead. It was evident that the rogue's monstrous growth was fueled by the consumption of flesh and blood. Its black fur was matted with dirt and caked with mud, while its ink-black eyes seemed devoid of any humanity. The smell coming off of him was nothing but a putrid reminiscent of decaying flesh and rotting bodies.
