A deep noise, perhaps the monster's own version of a cackle, escaped its mouth the moment the boys started trying to break away from its firm grip. The boys were just too small and quite frankly not strong enough to do that. The monster, though having skeleton-like features, was stronger that it looked. It had, after all, taken down the caretaker and made a nice meal out of him.
Speaking of the caretaker, the beast had dragged the boys down to the room where he had in fact devoured that man, savouring his flesh and drinking his blood. It wasn't the freshest of humans, but the monster was going to make up for it tonight. The boys were so young, so scared, so juicy...
It grunted when the vial of potion was thrown at its head, which led to the two boys being tossed aggressively into the corner of the room, not for from a set of decaying bones. The monster grinned, flashing its sharp teeth at them, licking its lips. Which one wanted to be eaten first?
