Bloody Painter X The Puppeteer Novels & Stories

Sheila, having only seen a few photos, was not entirely certain. "Yes, it's him!" Alexander confirmed the identity, pocketing the photo. He gazed at Brody in the distance, lost in thought. Fate had finally led him to the person he sought in the vast sea of humanity. Alas, the person had become a War Puppet, and he did not know if there was any salvation left. At that moment, the War Puppet launched another attack, fearlessly charging toward Mister Xeno. "Good, come at me! Let me incapacitate you!" Mister Xeno, stronger even than a scorpion, remained undaunted.

He asked. He then flicked out a puppet from his pocket. “I took the liberty of having your daughter here Clarisee make this for me,” he exhaled. “Irs main ability is to return whatever damage I deal on it to whoever's DNA is embedded on it. And you wouldn't believe this… I took the Liberty of getting a bit of your blood on the puppet,” he chuckled. “So I suggest you obey me,” he said and then broke the hand of the puppet and Diane yelled in pain as her bones cracked. “Ouch,” Harkov laughed.

I burst through the double doors into the main gallery space and come skidding to a halt. The white sheet that had covered my painting earlier now lies in a heap on the floor, revealing the artwork beneath. It depicts a circle of children holding hands, playing ring around the rosie. Werewolf pups swirl around their legs. All are smiling. All are happy. It was meant to be a statement. One of hope, of happiness, of peace. But now, that message is obliterated. Someone has thrown what looks like a bucket of blood over the canvas. Thick, crimson liquid drips down the children’s faces, pools in their outstretched hands, stains their clothes.

Heavy footsteps thundered and ran down the corridor. Chaos truly erupted. Impact and groaning sounds echoed one after another. Gunshots boomed and ricocheted off the concrete walls. Paul saw flashes of light from gun muzzles. The stench of gunpowder filled the air. He heard a guard scream in pain, followed by the sickening sound of bones breaking. The atmosphere grew tense. The physical fight intensified when something changed. Paul could feel the vibrations—fabric tearing and low, inhuman growls. He saw several guards transform into wolves.

Theresa alone had been altered. The pain caught up with me again as I glided over the stairs. I coughed, clutching my bloody belly, and stumbled to the ground, my blood spilling onto the floor. I had to get up, had to keep moving, but it was so painful . . . Then I noticed movements in Salem’s murals. The figures portrayed were distorting, bulging, until they pushed out from the walls and ceiling, becoming flesh and form. Claws and maws grew from every wall. The maids tore open as Uncivil ripped out from the paintings behind them. Their blood splattered against the walls, becoming part of the vast paintings.

Baxter's eyes glazed over and he grabbed my hands like an automaton. “Baxter, are you okay?” I panicked. We launched into a series of twists and spins I didn't know existed. His eyes were dead, and a dreamy smile haunted his face. Our peers cackled, embracing the mania that seized the room. The music filled us, making us move in ridiculous ways. Puck roared with laughter, leading the crowd. Even Damien swayed behind the bar, his partner a broken broom. “I've been a puppet, a pauper

Who stays in the dark and deal in the dark. Three of us seek every point of this world to search for them and we did. The only thing that I can remember is killing the last member of this pack who has the same tattoo on their nape. A Series of lines were connected across the entirety of what looks like a canine. A small circle connects each line forming a disturbing image, a disturbing mark. “ Hail thy Erebusias.” That voice. I turned around and see Victoria Stephens leaning on the door. Her face is pale as her body trembles and her eyes are fixated over the body in front of us.

Liam didn't heed what Andreas said, because he had walked over to a painting and stood there for a while. "Your majesty?" Andreas asked in a low voice and raised his hand to signal for the other guards not to make a sound. "You found something?" Liam traced the edges of the painting with his fingers as he stared straight ahead. There was something bothering him about the painting, especially when Mila's scent ended there. Not only the girl's scent, but also the faint scent of two other vampires, which Liam didn't recognize. "Take this painting down," Liam ordered. He then took a few steps back to let his men do the work.
