[IC] Beauty and the Techbreed (Inner Demon and Narcotic Dollie)

[Narcotic Dollie]

"L-loocked...uss out..." Beast said slowly, like he was testing the words out. Evee watched as he extended his hand towards the door, quirking a brow in confusion. In this position, the blonde was half caged by the techbreed’s form, but it wasn’t as scary now that she understood him better. Still, that didn’t stop her from flinching when his arm quickened to an inhuman speed and slammed through the front door, leaving it to clamor to the floor.

“Jesus, Beast!” Evee squeaked, eyes wide as she turned around to observe the destruction. The creature withdrew his hand and sat back, panting quietly. “I guess that’ll work. Mom and dad are gonna be pissed though,” Evee admitted, rubbing at her hands nervously. “Okay, wait here for a minute,” she told him, before crossing through the door frame and stepping over the fallen door. Once inside, Evee turned to make eye contact with Beast (Well, not really, because he doesn’t have eyes, but you get the picture) and held up her hand and repeated, “Stay”.

Once she was convinced he was going to listen to her, Evee hurried to the living room and started pushing all of the furniture against the walls. Luckily, her parents decorating style was very simplistic, so there wasn’t much to it, just a couch, two recliners, and an end table. Once she finished this job she set about going through the house to collect all of the blanket and pillows. She arranged them in center of the room, making a nest of sorts for the two of them. Evee observed her work before nodding, pleased with the outcome, and turning back to the doorway, where she could see Beast had not moved yet. “Okay, you can come in now,” she told him, motioning for him to step inside. The house had a sturdy cement foundation, unlike the porch, so the teenager was pretty sure it would be able to take his weight. “It’s alright, just try not to make a bigger hole than you already have.”

An empty eyeless gaze was returned to Evee as she motioned for Beast to remain outside. It gave no real response of understanding or confirmation. Instead it continued to watcher her, seemingly expectant as she ushered it to stay. It did indeed remain motionless as she disappeared into the dimly lit confines of her home. Obliviously, the mechanical monstrosity stared through the empty doorway for several minutes before turning away from the house. The rest of the wooden awning clattered to the ground as the hulking creature moved. Rain water streaked down Beast's angular countenance as it stared up at the clouded sky, peering at the streaks that briefly split through the clouds. A soft mechanical whine escaped its fanged maw as one of the lights streaked above, silently landing not to far away on the out skirts of town and out of view.

The creature hadn't moved though its back faced the young girl as she reemerged from the doorway. As her voiced called out to it, Beast turned to face her, looking over its shoulder. Beast hesitated for several moments when she gestured for it to enter. It seemed to be confused, made unsure by the girls own indecisive commands. Stay back, come sit, stay outside, come inside. Eventually the massive creature broke from its motionless stance and lurched forward, its massive claws shuffling through the tattered wooden panels on the floor before poking its head through the doorway. It was a tight fit trying to get through the relatively narrow frame. The sides of the wall cracked subtly as Beast pressed its broad shoulders into the house.

Picture frames and paintings clattered off wall as Beast's rigid form pushed passed. A lamp toppled to its side and several booked fumbled to the ground as the large creature knocked a shelf case over. A light patter of rainwater dripped off the monsters metal body in its wake, leaving a damp trail. After several awkward movements and the near destruction of her furniture, Beast followed Evee to the sizable living room where she had thrown together the makeshift bedding. After a few quiet moments, the creature turned back to Evee, obliviously looking at her with a tilted gaze.
