She sighed softly, calming down and slowly her breaths. When she did, she turned around to follow Luke, but paused when a growl was heard. She frowned slightly and squinted her eyes, trying to see in the darkness. When her vision didn't get better one bit, she opened her mouth to ask is Luke was making that noise, but shut it when he asked her instead. Now she tensed and froze, eyes widening slightly. She would've been slightly offended with his words, but she knew something was terribly wrong when it wasn't her nor Luke. Her hands clenched into fists. "That wasn't me." She mumbled, absentmindedly taking a step closer to him

I'll post for Rak'zel soon.))

Scarlette's muscles abruptly tensed underneath Luke's fingers, and an uneasy feeling began to pound at him. He immediately knew the answer before she even spoke, and he took a step backwards, glancing around at the darkness as if it would provide him an escape. He felt her move closer to him, and his first thought was to flinch and move away. However, he found himself unable to respond; he felt frozen into place, nearly hypnotized by the fear that dangled in front of him.

Another growl rose in the room, and it sounded closer. Luke swallowed hard, knowing they were merely sitting targets by simply standing in one spot. He blindly leaned forward, searching for Scarlette's ear as he muttered, "Run."

A sudden, eldritch shriek shot out towards him, and an unbearable, pungent stench filled his nostrils. His heart jammed up in his throat as he leaped backwards, and he felt something hairy brush against his leg. He frantically yanked at Scarlette's arm, hoping she would get the message and start running into the darkness, away from this terrible nightmare.

[crystwolf]

Her breath hitched in her throat. She could faintly hear Luke's voice, and she wanted to run, but her feet didn't obey her. Only when a ear piercing shriek and a pull on her arm did she move, blindly running off in the dark, knocking into something and toppling it over. There was a loud thump of wood hitting the floor before the shatter of a glass breaking, and as she stumbled back she could hear the cracking of glass under her boots. A wooden table with a glass vase was what she bumped into, then. She stopped moving then, in fear of the noise attracting...Whatever that thing was.


He stopped and turned back to Apitre, eyebrows pulled together in confusion. "Well, yes...Isn't he your brother?" He glanced back at the building. "Aren't you worried?" He mumbled again, turning to move, but froze when a shriek was heard from the inside. Without a second thought, his legs moved to run to the building, but was stopped before he could even take a step by a hand grabbing his arm.


He knew what his yonder brother was about to do once he heard the loud noise. With a quick step towards the raven haired boy, he firmly grabbed Rak's arm. The younger turned to glare at him, and he returned it with a hard stare. "You're mad." He muttered, keeping his hold even when the other tried to pull away. "Stay. Why do you even want to risk your life? You'd never do that for anybody." He hissed, watching as Rak froze, his eyes trained on the ground, deep in thought.

Sorry if my RP is a little off. I blame MacDonalds. ;A;))

Just as Luke was preparing to tug at the girl again, Scarlette abruptly bolted at an unexpected time, causing him to be yanked along in a rough manner. His shoes scraped against the carpet as he nearly tripped, and he desperately grasped the thin air for balance. His grip on the girl's arm slipped, and he stumbled forward, miraculously managing to steady himself without doing a faceplant on the floor. Another shriek sliced the air, and he rushed blindly into the darkness in hopes of bumping into Scarlette.

"Scarlette!" Luke called, desperate to find her as panic seized his voice. Silence had fallen upon the room once more. Somewhere far off, he heard faint growls and grunts. His chest began to tighten, and he reached out in front of him. His fist collided against something hard, and he snatched his hand back, realizing it was a wall. "Darn it," he muttered, and he hurried away, not wanting to be cornered by the freakish creature that was pursuing them. He hesitated before taking another step forward, but his foot caught onto something soft that gave way to him. Horror jammed his heart into his throat as his balance slipped, and a cry shot out of his mouth as he tumbled forward.

With a thump, Luke landed ungracefully onto something soft. Relief flooded through him as he sat up, but it was quickly twisted by fear as he wondered what he had fallen on. He knew it couldn't be the floor. He hesitantly reached out and felt the object. It felt unnaturally lumpy. He traced it in hopes of recognizing it, and he found himself gripping a very limp hand. With a shudder, he immediately released it, and it landed with a soft thump on the floor. Thinking it was a dead body, he scrambled up to his feet and dusted off his pants, but his fingers tingled with warmth from the body. A frown tugged at his face. Warmth?

Luke felt the floor before bumping into the body again, and he pressed his hand against the skin. Heat pulsed through it, proof that the human was definitely still alive. "Who is this?" he mumbled, but the answer quickly hit him. "Jinx." He immediately scowled at the thought of saving the idiotic boy, and he was tempted to just leave him there. The boy was only a nuisance. However, Luke knew that Jinx was still a human in need of rescue, idiot or no idiot. Releasing a sigh of exasperation, Luke bent over, reluctantly slinging the younger boy over his shoulder and adjusting his new burden. Jinx certainly did live up to his name; he was, in fact, a jinx to the entire group.

Luke had found one missing person. Now, he just had to find Scarlette. Hopefully, she was still in one piece. Shuddering, he started off in the abandoned building, softly calling her name.

((I have to eat dinner. I'll respond for Apitre later. c:))

[crystwolf]

Sorry, I can't post pictures for now. ;A;

She tensed up again when a cry broke the eerie silence, definitely belonging to Luke. Or Jinx. "Luke?" She called, though her voice was a little quiet, in fear of aggravating the creature. She hoped the thing hadn't gotten Luke as well. Her hand bumped into something else - Another table? - And her breath hitched in her throat as she glanced around. surrounded by darkness and silence.

She was scared. Frightened. At first she thought it was because of the strange being at first, but soon realized it was because of how lonely it was and...How dark it was. She couldn't be scared of the dark - She wasn't a child anymore...Yet, this feeling gave her a sharp memory. She thought she could hear faint distant screams...Was there something over her eyes? Her hands would have flown up to check if they weren't frozen to place. She didn't notice that her breathing had grown fast and erratic, and her body was shivering as though it was cold, only that she stood there, unable to see.

(Hallucinations, because Scarlette. ~(o3o)~ )

She jumped slightly when something touched her, nearly stumbling back at the sudden contact. A cold feeling rushed over her suddenly, and she could just make out the shape of something human -Luke. With Jinx carried over his shoulder. She shut her eyes, trying to calm her breathing as she listened to Luke. She shook her head, though it was a obvious lie. She found that she couldn't quite speak yet, so she simply kept quiet and tried to relax.

An emotion along the lines of concern rose in Luke's eyes as Scarlette's breathing only increased. She made no responses to his demanding questions, and he decided she wouldn't be able to, as long as they were stuck in here. "Never mind,"  he muttered, grasping around for her hand. "Let's get out of here. Jinx is heavier than he looks." He jerked his head towards the darkness ahead of them, but he saw that the heavy black had slight lifted. He assumed that the clouds filming the moon had decided to part the way, allowing shafts of white light to shine upon the ground and find their way into the building. Well, that's a relief, he thought, finding that he could see a little better now. Although his vision still wasn't perfect, he could at least make out the outlines of objects sitting in the large room. A glimmer of hope rested in him. Perhaps they could still get out alive.

"You remember which way we came in from?" Luke mumbled to Scarlette, keeping his voice low. "I sure hope you do." They'd probably have to resort to wandering around if neither of them could draw out the memory from their heads.

Shudders of anxiety ran through Apitre's body, but she managed to restrain most of them. Once in a while, a small shiver would escape, but she kept the rest of her feelings locked up inside. She found it unnecessary to express emotions of fear around strangers, especially since they probably wouldn't be able to help her. Only Jinx provided her the comfort she desired. She cast a worried glance towards the silent building, noticing how the moonlight seeped through the gaping cracks and broken windows. Maybe the extra light would guide them to safety.

She glanced at Rak with slight surprise as his older brother's hand snagged his arm. She wouldn't have expected him to rush in after the others, seeing the way he seemed to treat most humans with contempt. She watched the two of them for a few seconds before redirecting her attention to the building. A quiet sigh laced with weariness escaped her lips.

Apitre didn't like how long things were taking. The two should have been out of the building with Jinx by now, according to her mind. She knew she was wrong, however. Who knew how far Jinx had wandered in before he was attacked? She blinked at the thought, and she tried to shove it out, but it remained firmly lodged in her mind. She fought the urge to run in after her brother and hopefully find him, but she knew she would only cause trouble if she did so. After all, she appeared to be of no use when it came to locating missing persons in the dark, especially in unknown buildings. On top of that, Jinx would be shaking with fury if he found her in there with him. He liked to keep her safe - she knew that.

"Sometimes, too safe," Apitre muttered underneath her breath, feeling the need to speak out loud to herself. She sometimes did that when she was alone, and rarely would she dare murmur her thoughts around strangers. But these were different strangers. She liked them. They also weren't within hearing range - at least it appeared so. It wouldn't matter if they heard her anyway; many humans had the same habit, right?

A tiny smile flickered on Apitre's face for no reason.

[crystwolf]

She opened her red eyes again, seeing a small strem of light coming in from the moon. Narrowing her eyes, she nodded slightly before grabbing Luke's hand and pulling him towards a direction, her steps slightly quicker now. She licked her lips nervously as she paused slightly to avoid bumping into anything, while hoping that she was going the right way. Well, this was pretty much the way that she had gone to before, so it should be correct.

Luke allowed himself to be pulled along, tightly curling his fingers around Scarlette's. He didn't want to lose her in the darkness again, not with the creature running about. He silently followed the girl as she made a few turns here and there, stopping when she paused for a few seconds before continuing on. He didn't dare speak to her or release any sarcastic comments in case she completely freaked and lost control of herself. The more he pondered over it, the more he realized he was placing his life in a stranger's hands by following her. The very thought caused him to abruptly stiffen, and hesitation filled him.

"Are you sure you know where you're going?" Luke nervously began to ask, but a sudden growl emitted from the darkness. He jerked his head up just in time to see a silver pelt flash in the moonlight as pools of wet yellow glowed. "The heck? Is that a wolf?" he hissed, immediately freezing up.
