Escape the Midnight Mansion- Story /rpg

[LavenderFairy]

Hi! This is a horror rpg for anyone who wants to join <3. I`ll explain the rules below...

Rules:

*In this RPG you can either be a human, a werewolf or a vampire, your choice.
*Please...I know its fun and all but no godly powers. I promise your powers will increase as the rpg goes by.
*This is NOT a normal rpg, its written in story format but the fun part is you can continue the story. Thats right, there is no master in this rpg, we are one big team.
*ANYONE can post the continuation of the story, the fun part is to see how many twists and turns each person can give to the story.
Your character`s action can also be written by the one who is continuing the story, but of course respect the personality ofthat character. If you see your partner`s chara is a quiet person, you cannot write in the story.. : "And Adam went bazookas all over the place", because that wouldnt be to respect your other partners.
*You can also decide if your character is from the good or bad side, that is up to you.
*You CANT kill other people`s characters, even if you write the next part, sry. You need the permission of the owner or me to kill the chara. But yes you can wound them.
*Also, the point is to continue this story, if you dont participate in any way I`ll continue it myself. <3

Next come the limitations... without them the ones playing humans will be lost, so here`s to a releif of you:

HUMAN LIMITATIONS
I`ll be nice on this one, as humans are pretty weak against werewolves or vampires, the only limitation is that they arent allowed to have BIG guns like : bazooka, tmps, rifles, canons. You can carry handguns, magnum, shotguns though but theres no guarantee you will kill the monsters with them. Also, any type of sword, daggers, and other weapons that are not guns are totally permitted.

Humans can also choose to control one of these elements : Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light. Though they cannot make really powerful attacks with them, only maybe use the power of the element on their weapons.

VAMPIRE LIMITATIONS
Sry for this guys...
Vampires can:
*Drink the blood of any chara but not killing them and the chara may counterattack to stop the vampire.
*Move as fast as it wants.
*Hide in the shadows
*Talk to other vampires
*Ally with humans, ally with werewolves for their own advantage.
*Charm the humans but only humans with his/her vampiric powers


Vampires cannot:
*Fly
*Dissapear
*Be invincible
*Regenerate really fast (though they regenerate slowly)
*Control any element only shadows to their convenience



WEREWOLF LIMITATIONS
Here goes nothing:

Werewolves can:
*Destroy walls with their power
*Control small animals that are in the mansion. Ex: rats, cats, bats, insects.
*Move very fast in the wilderness
*Track down anyone with their nose
*Serve some vampire master

Werewolves cannot:
*Rettain their appeareance if the moon is not full.
*Make use of their power if the power source is cut, like covering the window where the moonlight shines through.

Werewolves appeareance is human like, when not using their powers or not being under the moon.

Nowww and last but not least...

::::::::: ESCAPE FROM THE MIDNIGHT MANSION:::::::::::

It was there, deep in the woods, huge as a giant monster that refused to die with time. White as the snow but so withered by nature that it was now a greyish color. The front yard extended for miles, where there once had been flowers and grass now lay dried roots and rotten tree trunks. The little lake that ran in the side of the mansion, was now a swamp, the birds that filled the place with joy were now dark crows that cried each night.

But the moonlight, sweet moonlight, it never died. Always came and went illuminating the demonic creatures that started inhabiting the place, each room , each floor, the mansion was so huge that it could hold them all.

A vampire`s lair, a werewolf`s cave, a perfect place for despair.

No mortal could have withstand the horrors that hid between those walls, the wails that came every night from the poor souls that had wandered too far.

From the top of the mansion, in the 13th floor, he stood. His crimson eyes scanning his vast and eerie territory. "Its been some time since I have had any fun...", he murmured looking about. "I miss the sweet smell of fear..."

"Master...", a raspy voice came from behind him. A pale being of raven hair and green eyes approached him, "What are your desires?".

"...Flesh"

"As you wish, Master..."

Not far from there, a human girl named Lavey wandered about, she had lost her way when she went to take a walk with her school partners, they had gone on a trip to the woods.

"..Man", the deeper I go, the darker it gets. She shivered and hugged herself. She was wearing jeans and a light pink hoodie that barely kept her from the cold that surrounded her.

Without knowing... she approached..

[WeirdlyHero]

A little about yourself <33: He wears a black shirt, jeans, with red converse. He is 17, pretty tall, messy medium length blonde hair, brown eyes that when you look into, you feel strange. (Decide for yourself how it makes your character feel.)

On one faithful night Raphael had decided to go out on a road trip, until he had a flat tire, ending up in the middle of nowhere. So he then decided to look for a place to stay the night, and use the phone, and then he did something that would change his life forever, he stumbled upon the mansion.

'Wow, creepy.  I really hope these guys have a toilet im practically bursting!  Oh, and of course a telephone and maybe a place to stay...im talking to myself again aren't I?...nevermind...'  Raphael muttered to himself as he had approached the mansion's gates.

[LavenderFairy]

Lavey walked down the path, it was getting darker and colder. "Not my favorite place to be at nightime", she whispered looking about. Then it came into view, the mansion looked at her, its presence inviting.

"...This looks weird, but I guess there I can protect myself from the cold". She walked over to the huge iron gates and pushed them with all her might but they wouldnt budge. Sighing, she sat down next to the gates, the wind was starting to blow faster, the dead trees surronding the area dancing in a macabre way, their long claws moving back and forth as if trying to reach her.

Then she heard it, faint at first but getting louder with the wind. A howl, she was certain, it sounded like something from a hollywood movie, except she wasn´t in one. She stood up quickly, alert to her surroundings, the howls were coming from the east not too far away.

~~~

Nearby, Raphael walked about, the dead leaves crunching under his feet. "Those gates were too heavy, I wonder if theres another entrance somewhere...". He was walking around the iron fence, the wind pushing him backward. "This place is way to big". The fence seemed endless, and the iron bars though old, could harm him if he tried jumping over them.

Then he saw it, the wind and darkness was making it hard to see at first, but the moonlight soon came. A silhouette, the shape of a tall man, stood before him. A long cape dancing wildly at his side. "Umm Hello!! is this your place?", he cried, trying to raise his voice over the wind. The man didnt move, not an inch, it even appeared that he wasnt breathing.

"Weird...", he thought to himself. Then the man moved, but not his arms or legs... His eyes glowed a fiery red, the fangs on his face shone under the moonlight. "Oh hey man, Im sorry I couldnt stay longer... but you see I have a party later, so... see ya!". Raphael turned around slowly, took a few steps and then dashed at full speed away from the scary appeareance.

"Ok Raphael, you knew this was gonna happen someday... whats next? a werewolf in this crazy place??".

Suddenly, a monster jumped in front of him, its fur standing in dirty spikes, eyes glowing yellow and fangs beared. He stopped just inches in front of the beast who clenched his teeth hardly in an attempt to grab him. "And I just couldnt keep my mouth shut... sorry boy, not today!". Using what he had learned sometime in gym class, he slid between the animal´s legs and ran to the other side.

"I need to get the hell out of here". He was running at full speed, the werewolf following closely behind. The trees closed on him, dark and eerie, like trying to stop him from running away.

The gates suddenly came into view, at their side, stood a girl, she gasped when she saw him. "Run!", he cried, dashing towards her. "..Wait! ", she tried to dodge him but failed, he crashed into her and sent them both flying towards the gates, that opened with a loud creak upon impact.

"Quick to the mansion!". He recovered quickly, and motioned for her to follow. Lavey was a little dizzy but the mere sight of the devil behind them was enough to have her on  her feet in an instant, she followed the stranger to the entrance of the place. With some effort, he opened it and got in, she went in right behind him.

"Now, close it!", they both pushed hard on the door, shutting it. A loud howl was heard behind the door, loud scraping noises followed. Lavey moved to a side and closed her eyes, "Please go away", she begged silently. Raphael held the doors shut, the noises were getting louder and louder.

Suddenly a soothing melody filled the air, it sounded like an ancient celtic song. Lavey opened her eyes and looked around. Raphael didnt move but stayed alert. The noises then stopped abruptly, they both stayed a few minutes to make sure the beast had gone.

"It was the flute wasnt it?", he asked, finally letting go of the doors. Lavey nodded, a little bit shaken, "But who could possibly...?". He looked at her, "I dont know... but we must get moving, it can come back...". She nodded.

Closely, from the dark corners of the mansion, a pair of red eyes watched them. "Humans... you have found hell on earth..."

TBC x3

Anyone can continue, if you dont I will xD.

 

[Woo]

Name: Silvia Blake
Type of being: Vampire
Personality: secretive and seductive, she leaves little evidence of her passing other than dark impressions and the occasional nightmare.
Weapon: she has a long, thick staff made of wood so strong it cannot be broken. on the end, razor sharp blades are inlaid into the staff and decorated with red and black ribbons.
A little about yourself <33: One of less than 100 surviving members of an ancient aristocratic family of vampires, she is well educated and well trained. It is rare that she needs to fight, as she is more of a spectator in events, but if occasion calls for it she is more than capable of handleing most forms of fire arm as well as swords, daggers, bows and arrows and even spears. she has had a long time to hone her skills, and was once an assasin. She has no 'side' in any battle, and will normaly stay out of proceedings untill she feels it would be more fun to get involved. she has dark purple eyes, long black hair and a long, black silk dress made to cling to her slender figure, with a slit that runs the entire length of one of her shaply legs, leaving it fully visable.



Silvia smirked to herself, swilling her glass of wine and looking down from the balcony as the deamons scattered from the door. "Poor frightened bunnies. You know, Thanatos my dear pet, I'm starting to think our little gettaway here wasn't such a dreadful idea after all. This could be fun." she said, turning to a figure made entierly out of shadow that stood beside her, eyes of pure glowing green, a flute clasped where one would expect its hands to be. She turned, heals clacking as she crossed the marble balcony, heading inside. "I'll have to take a look at this... come along my dear. the show has yet to begin."

 Downstairs, Raphael was able to relax and step back from the door. He turned to Lavey. "What the hell is this place? a haunted mansion or something?" The two of them looked around the darkened room they found themselfs in. It had once been a grand and beautiful palace, the delicate plastering on the ceiling decorated with gold leaf, the huge staircase carpeted with rich red velvet, and the huge crystal chandalier overhead had once shon with brillian light. Now, the place was dark. the moonlight from outside glowing through the stained glass window at the top of the stairs (Just before the staircase split in two directions to circle the walls) and cast grotesque shadows all about the place. The cold was so bad that the two could see each breath they expelled. Silvia stood beside the vile stained glass window, covered by her pet Thanatos, odscured from the sight of the two humans by his shadow.

[LavenderFairy]

Yayyy! With Woo-chan´s writing skills, this story will be teh best <333
*******************************************************

Lavey sighed deeply and stood up from where she was. "So...", she looked at Raphael intently, "Hmmm...". He raised an eyebrow, "What?". She smiled, "Thankyou". He eyed her weirdly, "What´s with you all of a sudden?". She laughed softly so as not to make much noise, "Im sorry, its just that if it werent for you, I would have been eaten by that thing...and also, this situation is very weird itself, so I find it funny".

He laughed softly too, "Yeah you could say that". She raised her hands to cover her mouth, "Oh yeah! I forgot, my name is Lavender but you can call me Lavey". He smiled, "Im Raphael, nice to meetcha". They both turned to look at the stairs, they looked somehow inviting. "Should we try going up there?", he asked pointing to the long flight of stairs to the right. Lavey nodded, "I dont think down here is safe, and maybe we could find a phone line or something... but first". She looked around, "We need to find weapons".

"Weapons?", he raised an eyebrow, "Like in here?". She nodded, "By weapons I mean anything that we could use to defend ourselves with...". He nodded, "Yeah I guess you are right. There´s a problem though, its getting darker and we dont have any light". Lavey shook her head, "No trouble! I have some stuff. After all I was going camping with my friends". She took off the little backpack she was carrying and handed him a flashlight, she took out another for herself. Raphael began searching in the bag, "What do you have in here?". She leaned on the wall, "The basics: bottled water, flashlights, some canned food, candy, alcohol, bandages and a little knife".

"Fair enough!". He pointed to their left. "Well then, follow me".

They started walking around the first floor, it was huge. Cabinets and old furniture was scattered everywhere, the place was all dusty and full of cobwebs. Each step they took made a creaking noise on the old wooden floors.  They made their way to a huge living room, the place was littered with old books, some flipped open and some lying on the couches that surrounded the area. Raphael walked over to the fireplace, ashes lied everywhere, but in between the ashes...

"Lavey... come I found something".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Enjoying the spectacle?", a voice came behind Silvia. She turned around in a flash, glaring at the intruder. "And I will enjoy it more, once I get rid of you", she spat. Vladimir, stood before her, his evil grin showing his long fangs. "Identify yourself before my darling pet finishes you in one gulp". Thanatos readied himself, he growled deeply at the intruder.

Vladimir smirked, "Now now, lets not get ahead of ourselves, I can see we are both of the same kind... now what could you be doing here in his territory?". She smirked at him, "That is not your business". "Oh?", he approached her, Thanatos getting angrier by the second. "But it is my business, you see them?". He pointed to the mortals now kneeling before the fireplace. "Those are my meal, and I will enjoy ripping them to pieces before he does. If you interfere even a little, you wont live to..."

That was enough, Thanatos threw himself on Vladimir who dodged just in time. Panting, he eyed her, she was calm as if nothing had happened. "Don´t tell me what to do boy, that is not nice". She chuckled softly, he smiled, "I like your ways...". She crossed her arms, "And?". "And I will warn you. If he sees you around, he will want to possess you". His eyes moved lustfully over her figure, she frowned. "After all", he continued. "He never misses any chance to get his claws on valuable things".

He turned his back on her. "He is on the roof, his minions are scattered around the place. The only key is held now by those humans...". He dissapeared into the darkness. 

"Naive...but helpful", she ran a hand over Thanatos, petting him. "This wont be boring anymore".
 

[Nimnim]

Name: Xelzias
Type of being: Human, Werewolf, Vampire
Element controlled if human: FIRE!!
Personality: slightly...no, batshit insane
Weapon: an array of used needles, a scalpel, and a machete
A little about yourself <33: he once was a doctor, till he went insane after he had an emotional breakdown and killed a cancer patient. he was admitted into an asylum, and escaped with used needles, he stole the scalpel from a morgue, and broke into a garden shed to get a machete.

[WeirdlyHero]

'Lavey...you see that? It's...a blood red ruby...'

[Nimnim]

Xelzias woke up inside of a  strange room, "WHERE AM I!!!" he yells, his torn doctor's uniform was stained with mud and dust. "GRAHHH! TELL ME THE ANSWER YOU DAMN PEOPLE!" he yells, he threw a needle at a wall.

[Woo]

The sound of Xelzias' wild cry echoed through coridors and came tumbleing down the stairs to where Silvia stood. she cast her eyes momenterily in that direction, but then decided to decend into the hallway. Glancing around, she picked up an ancient glass bottle filled with some faded liquid or another, holding it delicatly between her forefinger and thumb. she watched the moonlight that shon through the ancient stained glass window behind her catch off of particles instide the fluid, and sparkle from the layer of dust that covered the bottle. A whole little world glimmered there, traped forever in the stillness of the glass. Then, just like that, the peace was shattered as she dashed the glimmering bottle against the fireplace and the scent of an ancient perfume filled the hallway, the sound of breaking glass shredding the air.
 With a look of indifference and a slight tilt of the head, Silvia muttered "Thanatos, let us observe what ghosts of the past can be dredged from these ancient chambers." and she turned and walked briskly up the stairs to her chamber, slamming the door behind them.

[LavenderFairy]

Sry guys, I was srsly lacking inspiration to continue this story, but now I found it again ^w^. Okie ill write next part then <3

Lavey edged closer to see the ruby, it gave her a weird familiar feeling. She shivered. "I guess we should keep it, maybe it will work for something?". Raphael nodded, "Yeah I suppose". She proceeded to put it away in her bookbag when she heard the cries coming from the second floor, followed by a door being closed with force. Lavey jumped in surprise while Raphael stood still. For what seemed to be like an eternity, they listened without moving. Lavey´s breathing became a little faster, the cries wouldnt stop.

"That sounds human dosent it?", asked Raphael a little confused. She nodded, noticing she was gripping her bag so hard her knuckles had turned white, she released it slowly.
"If you want I can go investigate... if he needs help maybe I can try to do something... on the other hand if its not human, at least it won´t harm you", he said bravely. Looking at her current condition he figured she was still in shock.

"No Raphael...I wont let you go alone", she tried to stand up but her legs were a little stiff. "Damn it...", she murmured. He smiled at her to reassure her. "I will be fine, promise just to have a look and I´ll be back soon ok?". She shook her head, "But I...". He smiled and placed a hand on her head, "Dont worry...". With that, he turned back towards the stairs, walking cautiously and trying not to make any sounds.

Lavey saw his back dissapearing through the doorway, she shivered. "Please hurry back", she silently prayed. It was a little too creepy to sit alone in the darkness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Agh I want out, now!", cried Xelzias. He ran and banged on the door, but to no avail as it was tightly shut. "Damn you! Im not crazy I tell you!", he threw himself at the door once again , anger building in his chest.

"Shhh... shhh no need to get all excited", a voice startled him from behind. He turned around to meet a white ghastly face, long fangs and a river of raven silky hair. Vladimir was sitting on the ceiling of the room, his long black hair hanging down. "You thing, get me out now", spat Xelzias, apparently not at all amused or scared by his appeareance. It sent Vladimir a little wave of curiosity.

He jumped down from his place and walked over to the man, "You dont look like them at all...". Xelzias raised an eyebrow, "Them?". The vampire approached him, a smirk on his face, "The humans that were lured in here by Jhonny the werewolf. They are quite a handful I tell you". The doctor then took out his scalpel, he inspected it under the moonlight, the blade shone beautifully. "Yes...It has been a long time since I have attended a patient. I think they need a revision...".

Vladimir chuckled, this mortal was indeed a treat. "My brother, please take a look outside. But dont go spoiling that tasty soul of yours, because it is mine to take...". With that, the doors slowly opened. The vampire smirked and dissapeared.
~~~

Raphael finally got to the second floor. A dark hallway extender before him, he used his flashlight on it and noticed there were several doors on the sides of the hall. The cries had already stopped for a while and now he couldn´t decide which door to open. He advanced slowly, flashlight before him. He held onto it as if it were to protect him if something went wrong.

Then something caught his attention, at the end of the hall, a door was slightly opened. "Maybe he´s there...", he thought to himself. He bravely continued his advance, every door he passed sent a shiver down his spine. If something were to get out and try to attack him, he had nowhere to run.

He was several steps from reaching the door when he heard it. A faint breathing, right behind him. He gulped. "Please god no...", he thought. The breathing was getting closer, and worse it sounded like one of a big dog. He turned around quickly to face the creature, and used the flashlight on it. He then gasped in horror.

It seemed he was illuminating darkness itself. A big shadow stood before him, red eyes looking directly at him from the dark. "Ah!", Raphael then dashed towards the only open door in the hallway. But before he reached it, he felt a long slimy thing, wrapping around his stomach. "Let me go!", he wailed, but to no avail, the creature was now dragging him backwards.

A door on the side of the hall was opened, and Raphael looked helplessly as it closed behind him.

"Whats wrong Thanatos?", a voice asked from the darkness. "Have you found a toy to play with already?"...
~~~~

Lavey had been massaging her legs and now they were a little better. She was worried because Raphael had taken a little longer than expected, she really hoped he was ok.

She began fumbling in her bag for her water bottle, she quickly took the top off and sipped a little liquid. Sighing she remembered what her instructor had said, "Take good care of your food supplies because if in an accident, they can save your life, if you make them last the longest they can". She began playing nervously with a strand of her hair, but then froze. A faint chuckle filled the air around her, a little kid nonetheless. It sounded like some kind of horror movie.

"...Hello?", she asked. Aware that it was probably stupid but whatever the thing was, already knew she was there. "Ok Lav, this is time to get up", she tried standing up again but her legs still hadnt recovered completely. "Sh**".

"M-mommy....", a child´s voice, not to far away from her. She shivered and struggled to listen in the darkness. "Mommy... please". It was at her right side and approaching. She iluminated the darkness with her flashlight and almost dropped it but held on to it for she needed to see the advance of the thing coming towards her.

It had the shape of a little kid, but it seemed his legs had been cut off. His grey face had chunks of skin missing, thick blood cloths replacing the skin. His lips had been sewed together and he was missing both of his eyes, in the sockets, only darkness. His clothes were muddy and bloody. He dragged himself towards her, a hand without two fingers extended at her.

"Mommy...".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Woo]

 Up on the second floor, Raphael found himself gripped by a huge beast made of pure shadow, who's form was never constant. Before him, in the ancient but grand chamber, stood what looked to be a beautiful young woman with silky raven hair that trailed all the way down her back, her eyes shon a deep purple and her skin was so pail it seemed to glow. She smiled, her rouge lips parting to unveil a pair of needle-point fangs in her rows of pearl white teath.
 "Why, Thanatos! Did you bring me a present? You always know exactly what I like don't you." she said with a laugh of delight. Raphael's face was full of panic and confusion. Silvia walked over and lightly ran a long, slender finger across his cheek. "My, he is a pretty one isn't he... Thanatos, drop!" The creature reluctantly let go. Silvia looked the shadow creature it its now blue glowing eyes. "Go fetch the girl. If they're so preciouse, then we must make sure they are both safe."
 Thanatos grunted and poured himself through the crack under the closed door. Raphael was sat on the floor looking around in utter panic, his flashlight just a little out of reach. Slivia put her hands gently on his shoulders and crouched down to look deeply into his eyes, as though searching his soul. "Do not worry, little bunny. You're safe in here. This room is protected by strong magic. I am Silvia, third daughter of the second son of the first Grand Lord of Vampires Jason Blake. I will keep an eye on you and your pink-clad companion. Forgive Thanatos, he likes to play."
~~~

[WeirdlyHero]

Raphael looked desperately around the room in search for something or even someone that could help him.
''Who or what are you!?...What do you want with me!?...And don't you DARE lay a finger on Lavender!!!''
'Oh don't worry my dear,' Silvia said with a sinister smile on her face and with her finger running across his cheek. 'All will be explained in good time. As for the girl, she'll be just fine...in fact, im sure she'll be here any moment now...'

Raphael couldn't stop staring into the deep purple shimmering eyes of Silvia, he felt as though he was trapped in her gaze, he felt a lump in his throat and couldn't speak, and for some reason Raphael couldn't move.

[LavenderFairy]

Lavey tried to scream but she couldnt, she was frozen in horror, watching helplessly as the creature crawled towards her. "Mommy...". She closed her eyes and hugged her bookbag closely to her chest, trying to keep her heart from beating any faster.

"Please... im not your mommy..", she answered terrified.

"Ahhahahahahahaahhaha!!".

A guy dressed in a weird outfit appeared suddenly from behind her. "Just look at this, isnt he cute?", he pointed at the horrible creature now inches from his feet. "What do you want now hmm??", he asked the kid. It was now holding onto his feet, slowly climbing towards him. "M-mommy!!!".

"Y-You are crazy!", cried Lavey. The guy looked at her and smirked, "Im not you, im Xelzias, so use my name next time you adress me". She raised an eyebrow, "Are you for real?". He frowned, "Some people never learn". He eyed the creature who was  crawling all the way up his knees.

"Such a nice thing kids are... so small and fragile". He gently placed a hand on the creature´s head, and gave him a light pat. "There, be a good boy...". He lifted his hand up to inspect it, it was full of the kid´s blood. "Interesting...", he murmured. He turned to the terrified girl and smiled, "It has a nice color, he is healthy".

"N-no... get away from me!", with all her might, Lavey controlled herself and she could finally stand up. She backed against the wall, now facing the Xelzias. He shook his head, "You shouldnt move, mommys dont leave their kids behind". "B-but im not ...", started Lavey. Suddenly Xelzias, took the kid by the head, it started wailing and kicking in the air in a macabre way. "Aiiieeeee Moommmyyy!!". The man smirked and threw it at her, barely missing her head.

A loud crack was heard, as the creature´s head exploded against the wall, its blood falling all over Lavey. She screamed loudly and ran towards the front door, down the hall and into a weird door at the end. Unlike all others, it was made of iron, but in her desperation, adrenaline pumped her blood faster and she found the strenght to open it.

"...What a nervous girl", Xelzias murmured. He started to walk away but stepped on something, it was a bookbag. He lifted it up and inspected it. "Hmm?? where does she keep the needles?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Woo]

Thanatos whatched, unseen from the stairs as the terrified girl hurtled past him and shut herself in the vaults. Silly little bunny-wunny, those don't open from the inside. And what dweles below is not for your eyes. he though. slinking across the floor, he poured himself through the keyhole and stood in rough human form silently behind the shivvering girl, who found herself at the top of a very long, narrow, dark flight of stairs. he softly placed a hand of pure shadow onto her shoulder, she squeeked in terror but he leaned in close and, very gently, wispered to her "I am Thanatos, my mistress requested I fetch you. I will not harm you, and you are in dire perril here. Will you submit?" Thanatos could be suprisingly eloquent at times.
