Chapter 4: House of a feeble old woman (Part III)

Another day, another virtual adventure. Hareta would sit on the ground watching Ben hack and slash his way through the several enemies in his game, but this time it was a different game. Hareta would hold the controller up as it was some kinda artifact, as Ben tried over and over again to redirect her to the screen.

"Whoa...How do I use this?"

"Okay, so to have Link use his sword you press B, and that's all you need to know; alright? Okay."

"Why is Link called 'Fuck Face?'"

"Uh, I didn't own this at first."

"But...there are three separate save slots-"

"Just play the game, Fuck Face!"

"Alright, Alright...fine."

Hareta would start playing the game, as Ben would tell her where to go and what to do from time to time -- then the girl at the dinner table from last night would silently walk into the room along with them, eyeing them down as she would inch closer to them

"Ben...Hareta....Can you two hide me?"

She spoke in a soft voice and tone, as she looked at the both of them with a very worried expression

"Oh, sure I guess? Are you playing a game...?"

"Madam Iris wants me to help her cook....I don't want to help her."

"Can you....not cook or something? I mean, you went crazy about it last nigh-

Madam Iris: "Deary, Where are you?"

The girl would freeze, as she started to freak out scanning for just a small place to hide, but it had been rendered useless, as Madam Iris placed her hands on the girl's shoulders as she stood behind her with a smile

"I. . .I. . .no. . .please. . ."

"Come on, all you have to do is help me cook one meal and you can leave, along with Carrie and Jim."

". . .I don't. . ."

Madam Iris would take the girl by the hand, as the two of them walked away, Ben would then look at them with a questionable look, standing up from his chair as he stared down the hallway Madam and the girl were walking down

"Ben? Ben where did you go....I need your help."

"I'm literally right here. I haven't moved very far."

"Where...where are you going?"

"I'm gonna....check up on Madam Iris and what's her face, hey -- you come too."

"I'm playing a gaaaaame."

"Alright, fine. Stay there."

And Ben would begin walking down the hallway doors, Hareta would pause her game and follow quietly behind him. The two would sneak into the Kitchen -- but would find that Madam Iris nor the young lady were able to found. Shocked, the two adventurers would continue to search throughout the house as they walked down a hall of stairs. They could hear the girl being yelled at by Madam Iris, as their ears lead to the door she hid behind. They would watch by peering their eyes through the door

"EAT."

"N-No....I don't want to eat anymore.I feel myself becoming fatter and fatter..."

"Nonsense my dear, now tell me, wouldn't you wish to feast upon a house made of candy and sweets?"

The very walls, doors and interior design of the home became a candy wonderland. The door turned into chocolate, the walls a sort of bread, and the accessories in the room became a plethora of different sweets, such as Peppermints and lollipops to name a few. This did not please the little girl, however -- Madam Iris sighed, her smile faded away -- and anger painted her face.

"Wouldn't you wish to create a delicious meal, just like your friends Jim and Carrie did?"

The little girl shook her head left and right, and Madam Iris clenched her fist.

"....Very well, but what you want at this point is irrelevant. I've kept you around for quite a long time and I'm not going to let your body go to waste!"

The girl tried to run to the door, but an insane amount of pitch black hands grabbed her and slammed her down, rubbing and touching the innocent girl. Black lightning would Serge throughout Madam Iris's fingers, and just a slight shook sent thousands upon thousands of shocks through her body, as she cried for help. Tears streamed down her face, as she tried to stand up but was slammed back down by the Wrath of the Madam's foot. Hareta almost yelled out, covering her mouth and shivering as she watched, she covered her eyes, and Ben would grip on to the door.

Should. . . should we go and save her?! We have to....! But just look at her, Hareta is terrified, I don't know what I can do now. . .

The girl would put her hands over her head, trying to protect herself from Madam Iris's shocks while also trying to swat away at the many hands that had a tight grip on her. Her clothes began to tear the more she moved away, and the violence would stop, as the girl cried. Covering herself as she would place her hands over her eyes, she couldn't take it anymore. She would look up at the door -- staring directly into Ben's eyes, as she would reach out to him. Ben's heart began to quiver, as it became more and more clear she was talking to him.

"Please....help me. Help me, I'm begging you to save me! I can't take this anymore, It hurts!"

"Silence!"

As Madam Iris's fist was covered in black flames, she would aim to take a swing at the girl, when in an instant -- a new face decided to join in on the struggle. Ben leaped into action, moving without a moment to waste as he delivered a strong jab to Madam Iris's face. She collapsed, and Ben would swiftly pull the girl out of the grips of the black hands, as she wrapped her around him and sobbed even more. Hareta would soon run into the room, with a nervous smile on her face as her legs began to do a little dance by shaking left and right, she was terrified.

"H-H-Hey....are you alr-right?"

"Yes... .thank you, Ben. . ."

"You two, get out of here."

"Yeah, come on Missy. Let's go....Come on let's go, let's go!"

"You ungrateful brats..."

Madam Iris would slowly rise, as her body melted and she turned pitch black. Dead white eyes and terrifying long fingers as she roared at the children, slamming their hands down as she looked them straight into the eyes.

You....I was going to save her so YOU two can eat! Now. . . you all will be apart of MY FEAST.
