The Gargoyles
2071 Words
"What the f**k are these things" d**k shouts aloud as he brings his weapon out and fires repeatedly at the monsters through the side of the window, it was very tricky for him to drive and shoot at the same time.
The silver bullets seemed to have no effect on the creatures as it deflected off their skin.
"That ain't the only surprise yet, you ugly f***s" d***s mutters under his breath, he tasted blood. He hadn't completely healed from his showdown in the tunnel. With one hand on the wheel, d**k slides his other into his left pocket, he brings out a few rounds; the blue coloured ones from one of the pockets of his trouser, d**k looks ahead of the road, when he was sure he had no incoming vehicles, he retracts his other hand on the wheel, inserts the bullets inside the weapon, then when d**k was satisfied he set it right, he looked in the rear mirror, one of the statue creatures was about to catch up with him, with careful planning, when the creature reaches the opening. d**k turns and fires at the creature.
KRRANG!!!! the creature makes sounds as it thrashes the floor heavily.
Dick was over-joyed at his triumph, he quickly stops the car, though not orderly. He quickly gets down and fires rounds at the remaining approaching stone creatures. They each collapsed on the ground making loud noises.
"For a bunch of stones, y'all are real soft" d**k smirks triumphantly.
"Y'all are so weak I bet plankton would school you" he continues
"The only thing more embarrassing than tripping over your feet is the way you guys fly, it makes flying a complete turnoff" d**k adds.
When d**k was through with his wise cracks. He turned his back as to head to the vehicle.
"For a mortal, you are really cocky" comes a gruff voice from behind.
Dick turns around, he was completely shocked. The creature he had first hit had become taller and robust. He was about four feet before, now, he was a seven feet mean looking statue.
"I thought your mouths were just a poor excuse for decoration" d**k says struggling to maintain an haughty expression on his face.
Almost in unison, the other creatures began to rise on their feet, each bigger and robust than before.
"Mortal, don't annoy me" The first creature says with a slight tone of annoyance.
"Does the stony statuey wanna cry" d**k smirks.
"You shall address us by what your irrelevant kind knows us as, GARGOYLES"
"So y'all talking stones got a name" d**k scoffs.
The first Gargoyle ignores d**k's remark and continues
"Master wanted us to kill you, it seemed really difficult as moments ago we were just flying creatures without reason, but thanks to the sunlight you bestowed upon us, this task is very much easy indeed" The Gargoyle says narrowing his eyes down at d**k. d**k moves some steps backward.
"This isn't going to go well, I boosted these thing's ability and it's not one for gratitude, I have to get outta here and fast" d**k thinks still trying to maintain the haughty look on his face.
"As a reward for your help, mortal, we shall kill you very slowly" The first Gargoyle says moving towards d**k. When he got to a few feet from d**k, a sound began to ring in the air, it was coming from the direction of the car, the Gargoyle stops, he looked perplexed.
"That's a sun dampener" d**k says aloud "Make one move and with my voice, it will activate and smoke the little sun rays you got into your bodies" d**k continues, his haughty look appeared to have vanished, now, he looked almost serious.
"You are bluffing, mortal" The first Gargoyle says moving closer.
"Why don't we find out, d**k says as he grabs the phone from his car seat
"Do you really wanna find out after just living for minutes" d**k says holding the phone above his head.
The other gargoyles had stepped back, they seemed to fear the device d**k had in his hands. The first gargoyle still had his eyes set on d**k. He looked as if he was trying to pierce through d**k with his eyes.
"Your sibling dummies made a choice, don't be the reason they die" d**k says with his finger hovering over a button. The Gargoyle seeing that he was defeated move back.
"Holy s**t, are those gargoyles" comes a feminine voice from the car. In all that was happening, d**k had completely forgotten about Mrs Hudson.
"Why are you holding your phone like that" the voice continues.
"Thought you said it was a sun dampener" the voice of the first Gargoyle appeared fiercer.
"It is, it's part of the functions, now stay put" d**k adds quickly.
As quick as his weak legs could take him, d**k leaves the spot, gets into the car, starts the engine and drives off.
"Good one, Hudson, you almost had me killed by some stone figures" d**k blurts out coldly. Mrs Hudson re-adjusts her sitting posture in the back.
"What the f**k is going on" she asks
"Nothing much, just uncovering the reason behind the murders in your family and saving your ungrateful ass" d**k says with a mockery tone.
The first gargoyle ascends a few feet into the air, he spots a young man walking his dog, he was busy with his phone, the distance between them was about forty metres away, with overwhelming speed, he dashes at the front of the man.
"Jesus Christ" the man shouts, fear written all over his face, his dog kept barking. The Gargoyle looks at the dog, he imitates the barking sound back at the dog, the dog begins to whimper, he then hides behind his owner, whose pants were getting wetter by the minute.
"Ca...nnnn... Can...I.. Help ..you" the man stammers shakily with fear written all over his face.
"Yes, the Gargoyle says " the thing in your hand, what does it do"
"Ooh these, it is just to receive and make calls, also for texting messages, you can have it you like" The man says trembling, he was even shaking worse than his dog.
"Is there any other function" The Gargoyle asks.
"Not that i know off and this is the best phone you can ever find" The man says, his trousers getting wetter.
"No sun dampening effect or ability to absorb sun ray" The Gargoyle asks.
"Not in any phone model so far" the guy said, the fear on his face turning to weariness.
"I am gonna crush that mortal" the Gargoyle shouts aloud as he flies up in the sky. He looks at the other gargoyles.
"We have been had, the mortal tricked us" the gargoyle announces aloud. The other gargoyles ascends to the air in unison, they were about five in number.
"We are gonna make him pay".
"You are so incompetent" Mrs Hudson says "You were at the case for weeks, you came up with nothing relevant, now, my kids", she then bursts into tears, she put her hands on her face.
"Well, if it is any consolation, I provided intel which helped save your husband" d**k says not appearing to feel sorry for the woman at all.
"Who cares about that ugly piece of s**t" she shouts.
"Finally, something we both agree on" d**k says with a smile coming on his face.
"You aren't just incompetent, you are stupid as well" the woman says focusing her rage on d**k.
"Anything that makes the wife of a piece of s**t feel better" d**k remarks with glee in his voice. When Mrs hudson didn't have a comeback for what he said, she just relaxed back in her seat.
"Just take me home", she orders.
"I don't look like your faggish driver, i am a private eye and you are my client, my priority is to keep you safe, your house is probably being watched at the moment" d**k answers back.
"Where are we going then" she asks
"A place that will shut your fat mouth up" d**k says coldly.
"I should never have associated with a coloured man anyway, they are as incapable as they come" Mrs Hudson sulks
"Well, you were saying the total opposite the night we met, remember, the one when you was moaning" d**k says staring at her through the rear mirror. Her cheeks blushed red when she heard d**k say that, apparently, that seemed to calm her down.
"If you can shut up like this till the ride is over, we might revisit the pleasures of last time."
"Not interested" her answer was cold.
In his peripheral vision, d**k catches something, he adjusts it, and he sees the gargoyles coming towards him, only they appeared more annoyed than usual.
"Ooh s**t" d**k says as he hits the accelerator and pours on more speed.
"What's wrong, your s****l urges have never been let down before" Mrs Hudson said smirking.
"I am not in a hurry to f**k your maggot-infested p***y" d**k makes a sharp turn into an alleyway, "we got company."
The car could barely fit, d**k packs a few containers from the safe which he pockets, after which he quickly gets down, he goes over to Mrs Hudson and tries to help her out.
"Why don't we just outrun them" she asks
"The gas is empty, besides they don't look like they can fit in here with those oversized wings."
"Fair point."
Dick helps her out as she moved as if she was in maternal labour.
"We have got to hide", he tells her "and i know just the spot."
The Gargoyles arrive at the entrance of the alleyway, one of them lifts the car like it was a toy and hurls it backward like it was weightless item.
"The mortal couldn't have gone far, spread out" The first Gargoyle orders.
They first try to pass inside the alleyway but it was proved impossible
"If only we could get rid of these wings for now" the smallest of them says.
One of the Gargoyles then retracts it's wings inside it's skin, she was then able to pass through
"The wings can be retracted" it says aloud.
The other gargoyles also retracts their wings, then they were finally able to pass through.
The first Gargoyle (the one who d**k deceived) catches something like movement up ahead, with amazing speed, he dashes there, he then saw a long cloth, it was the jacket d**k had been wearing and it appeared it was covering something.
"Got you now, you insignificant worm" he says as he lifts the cloth, a few rats emerges, then they scatter of in different directions.
"I am so gonna crush that mortal'' He says with annoyance obvious in his voice.
One of the other gargoyles came to another dark hiding spot, he peeps in for a look, d**k emerges, he slides under his feet and with a move of a stick present in his arm, he connects it with in between his legs, PUUM!!, the stick breaks into two. d**k gets up
"You have a sad long life ahead of you" he says. The Gargoyle launches forward to d**k, as he was about to hit d**k, he loses his balance and hits the ground. THUDD!!!
"Clumsy and stupid, an obvious combo for a stone" d**k smirks. He moves towards the gargoyle and pours some substance at the side the wings were supposed to protrude from.
"I had poured some slime on the wall earlier, you fell on it, that's not all, i poured sticky gum all over the floor thereby making it impossible for you to get up" d**k says
"Then i added some to the place where your wings are supposed to come from, you won't be flying for a long while" he smirks.
"Come on, dollface, let's go" d**k says looking at Mrs Hudson who was coming from the dark hideout. The two ran very far, they pass the entrance but they don't go far until they hear the sounds of the gargoyle.
"Where is that mortal"
It was accompanied by a flapping sound, it appeared to be getting closer, d**k looks around for a place to hide but didn't find until a veil was immediately placed over his head, before he could do anything, his body was bonded with ropes. He felt himself being dragged by an external force.
