The poisonous mist contained flesh-eating bacteria. Once a Boneseeker Man reaches adulthood, the eight hormone sacks inside its legs transforms the poisonous mist it produced as a baby into a black corrosive acid that can melt steel. A female Boneseeker Man’s womb was in her throat and that’s where she produced her eggs. Before a female Boneseeker Man gives birth, a white rotten-smelling substance exits from her mouth.

Jessa ends dad’s attempt to figure out why she doesn’t remember receiving it. “Is that why you mentioned prolonged torture?” Dad asks. She nods. “Why would he poison her husband to death and half her kids if he didn’t plan on killing her as well?” “But it’s not just her.” She responds sadly. “While I haven’t done a physical on her I can tell you that when he gave this baby the injection of silver the needle was jabbed into her leg with enough force that it went through the bone into the marrow. Like the others, I will be checking her for malnutrition as I do suspect a calcium deficiency has weakened her bones as her femur shouldn’t have been penetrated so easily.

The darkness of the room was all around her. The smell was the same as she smelt last night but heavier. She got the mitt and opened the door, and looked in to see the coals on the bottom still glowing red. She knew she could not really go into the unit until they were out completely. She looked around in it and then saw the one thing she was hoping she wouldn’t. A bone. A long human bone. She stood there and looked into the unit some more.

Seraphina & Declan ✦ 18+ — explicit language, graphic violence, torture ✦ The basement smells like concrete and old water and the particular kind of fear that has been marinating for several hours. I know that smell. I've been in rooms like this before — not many, and not as the one asking questions, but enough to understand the architecture of them. The single hanging bulb. The drain in the floor that doesn't try to hide what it's for. The chair bolted to the concrete, which is a practical detail that tells you something about whoever built this room and how seriously they took their work. Declan built this room. Of course he did. The man in the chair is named Caruso. Nico Caruso, forty-thr

In just a few moments, everyone had come together to distribute the bones of the mouse. Alex noticed faint bone patterns on the mouse bone demon as well. They weren’t golden but a whitish-grey instead. He could tell that the power within these bone patterns was far less potent than the ones on Shirley, let alone any of the bone patterns of those two gigantic bone demons he encountered. Zendaya handed Alex a bone, which consisted of five bone patterns. It was considered one of the bones that had more patterns than the others. The patterns seemed to be made out of a rare type of language.

'Haha…' Yusof did not panic even when faced with the fact that Ambrose was about to kill him. He laughed pleasingly. "Ambrose, oh, Ambrose. I was scared of you before. But from the looks of it, you're just a reckless kid too. Since I have the courage to reveal myself, I'm not afraid of you anymore. Truth be told, the tea you drank just now is mixed with a Bone-eroding pill. It is a poison that I refine. It is colorless and odorless. When it spreads out in your body, it will infiltrate into your bone marrow. You're not going to withstand it even if your bone is made out of iron steel. Hahaha…"

Why would anything inside me recognise something even Inara had apparently never known existed? I looked at her again, unease crawling slowly over my skin. “I think you need to change back before my brain explodes.” The beast seemed to consider me for a moment before stepping away. Then the cracking began and I winced immediately. Bones shifted beneath fur with deep, horrible sounds that made my stomach turn. Her massive frame folded inward as though her entire skeleton was being taken apart and rebuilt. Shoulders narrowed, legs reshaped, claws drew inward, and the orange-striped fur slowly disappeared beneath skin.

It was Betty, immersed in a light blue shimmering, viscous liquid, which she let her breathe and her smashed arm surrounded with cellular nano fabric. Silas stood next to the holographic console. His hands flew with one Speed over the bright buttons that made me dizzy. His glasses reflected the blue light of the capsule. “Reconstruction of the radius and Ulna bones is at eighty-eight percent”, Silas murmured more to himself than to us. He typed another sequence. ‘I increase the calcium feed in the nutrient gel. This archaic slum feed has its Bone density is ruined. If I already repair them, then right.”

The car sped through the city and soon reached the hospital. I took Lila through every department for a full examination, from dermatology to orthopedics to psychiatry. Each diagnosis pierced me like knives. "Multiple lacerations and burns, the same areas repeatedly cut open. This child has suffered far too much." "One rib on the left side is fractured. No wonder she’s been short of breath. The pain must have been unbearable." "Severe anxiety disorder with major depression. This girl’s mind is already damaged. If this continues, she’ll break completely."

“You need to see this.” I opened it. It was a medical report for Viki. I scanned the prescriptions, the dosages, and the accompanying notes. Then my eyes caught blood test results and the bolded phrase: High Levels of Redbone Essence. I frowned. “That’s just an herbal supplement for her nausea, right?” “No,” Henry said. “Redbone essence comes from the Redbone Flower which is toxic.
