880: Story 880: The Devourer’s Pact 880: Story 880: The Devourer’s Pact The suffocating darkness of the alley lingered even after the Watcher had vanished.
Its voice echoed in their minds.
“Not yet.”
Lucas wiped sweat from his forehead.
“What does that an?
Not yet?”
No one answered.
They all knew the truth.
The Watchers weren’t hunting for food anymore.
They were hunting for sport.
A New Threat
Mia pressed her back against the crumbling brick wall, gripping her pistol.
“We need to keep moving.
Staying here is suicide.”
Evelyn nodded, her mind racing.
They needed shelter.
A plan.
A way to fight back.
Reaper led the way, navigating through the wreckage of the dead city.
Shadows stretched unnaturally along the cracked pavent.
Then, a low growl rumbled through the night.
Not from a Watcher.
Sothing bigger.
Leon froze.
“You hear that?”
The group barely had ti to react before the wall beside them exploded outward.
A grotesque shape erged—a hulking, skinless creature, its exposed muscles pulsing with unnatural energy.
Its face… was a nightmare.
No eyes.
No nose.
Just rows of jagged teeth lining a gaping maw.
And behind it?
A long, barbed tongue, twitching like a living weapon.
Samantha stumbled backward.
“Oh, hell no—”
The creature lunged.
Survival Instinct
Evelyn barely had ti to shove Mia aside before the beast’s claws slamd down, crushing the concrete.
Leon fired first.
A shotgun blast tore into its shoulder—but the thing didn’t flinch.
Instead, it turned, grinning.
It enjoyed the pain.
Lucas cursed.
“That ain’t normal.”
The creature whipped its tongue forward, striking Reaper across the chest and sending him flying into a pile of debris.
Blood splattered.
Samantha scread.
“Reaper!”
The monster crawled forward, its limbs bending unnaturally.
Drool sizzled against the pavent.
It wasn’t just hunting them.
It was savoring them.
Mia acted fast.
She grabbed a shattered steel pipe and drove it into the creature’s side.
The thing howled—but instead of retreating…
It laughed.
Evelyn’s breath hitched.
It was learning.
Adapting.
Then it spoke.
“Not yet.”
The sa words as before.
And then—it vanished into the night.
The Truth Unfolds
Silence fell.
Only the sound of their frantic breathing remained.
Lucas helped Reaper to his feet, blood trickling from his forehead.
“What the hell was that?”
Evelyn’s heart pounded.
“A new evolution.”
Leon reloaded his shotgun.
“It could’ve killed us, but it didn’t.”
Mia’s voice trembled.
“Because it’s waiting.”
They all exchanged looks.
The Watchers… the Devourer…
They were planning sothing.
And whatever it was—it was only just beginning.
