The serpent man shivered at the touch of the shadow dog's tongue licking down his face, Nana could already taste the fear in him but Aveline was quick to wave her hand at her. "Enough, Nana. We need to reeducate the second party on his own behalf," she sighed softly as Nana trotted away and towards her side, barking loudly with a full-grin appearing on its face. With a whisk of her flesh hand, a scroll began to form out of nothingness as a papyrus scroll appeared rolled up in her hand. She glanced over to her right hand to find that it returned to normal and so, she gripped the scroll with her right hand and pointed it towards Mr. Juniper. "Nana, on the other hand, go out to the Endless Forest. If you find a corpse, bring it back. I have an idea." The shadow dog barked as it soon vanished in plain sight and a black mist rolled under Aveline's feet and passed through the cracks of the door. The serpent hissed loudly as he tried to move but Aveline was quick to press her foot down onto his stomach, not something much empathy. "Now, where should I begin..?"
Meanwhile, Nana had already morphed back into its canine form while venturing throughout the Endless Forest, catching the scent of a recent killing. Nana's tail wagged softly to find a pale corpse on the ground with a bite mark on the man's neck but there was sure identification of who he was. The dog glanced back to find that nearby, there was other bodies but they were of police officers. "It's better to take this one.. Humans in these uniforms are far more importance or this is what Mistress Ulter has spoken about.." At first, the dog was curious and began to scratch at the man's pants to find a wallet fall out and with a push of its muzzle, the wallet opened. 'This corpse's name is Martin..? Odd name choice,' Nana as it buried its fangs into the arm of the deceased man began to drag it away from the scene of the crime. The shadow dog ended up making its way throughout town without even being noticed seeing as how everyone flocked to their homes, already fearing for the worse as police officers, a teacher, and a man were killed but Aveline and Nana weren't aware of the teacher's death.
Aveline Walker was pressing her foot during the time Nana was gone, she was waiting for her subservient shadow to return with the ingredient she required. "You stupid..cu.." Mr. Juniper was breathless as he felt a sharp feel already stab him in the stomach and Aveline sighed, "Whoops. My foot slipped." The sarcasm rolled off her tongue with much amusement and she glanced at the door to find Nana having returned with a body. She skipped towards the door and opened it, "..Nana, you're a mess." The dog dropped the body at her feet and barked in joy, with its tail wagging to see that the mission was a success. Aveline stroked Nana's head to find her hand covered with blood but Nana licked it off, enjoying the salty taste.
"As you wanted a life changing experience.. Why not live another person's life?" Aveline smile twisted as the door slammed shut behind Nana and Aveline, with the lights flickering. "Please, no.. I-I can complete the contract," Mr. Juniper called out but it was too late. All that was visible in the darkness was green glowing eyes and a muttering from the witch's voice.
