Moonlight War

[Self:.:Pity]

I will.

That would be great.

she giggled, but then, the bat started to fly up in Nathaniels face.

Jade said, "Colder ones are metal, hooked to my spine. Warmer, more flexible ones are plactic, hooked to my veins. There are a couple hooked into my heart, my legs, et cetera." Then she winced. "He's coming. You two had better hide."

Toby listened intently, then let out a swear word. He grabbed Croy's hand and led him into a dark janitorial supply closet. Then he waited, hearing footsteps from outside of the room, approaching.

record it <3

Nathaniel caught the bat, and stroked him. "What's wrong?"

 

[Self:.:Pity]

Croy was silent, intent on the door to listen to what was happening with Jade.

Tettra heard something outside the cavern, a voice, a single voice, seeming to talk to itself. And it didnt speak of friendly things. She hushed Nathaniel as the bat calmed down in his hands.

 

[Jinx3295]

Nathanie pulled Tettra and Screech into the shadows, watching. Waiting.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

A man's voice quietly said, "Good morning, Jade."

Jade gasped, "Please, let me go. This isn't you, Henry!"

Henry shook his head. "Look, my parents adopted you two out of the kindness of their hearts. Because of things like you, my parents are dead!" Then there was the sound of machinery running.

Jade sobbed loudly, the excruciating pain even worse this time around.

 

[Self:.:Pity]

Croy seemed more interested, only just stopping himself from putting his hands on the door.

The person, a lady, it seemed, strolled around the cave when she entered, seeming to search for something. She sung something in an odd language, Italian, maybe, or something close- a lullaby, but one to lull you out. Tettra seemed do be doing her bes not to step out or move away from Nathanial.

 

[Jinx3295]

Nathaniel watched, curious.

 

[++ Necromancer]

Screech fluttered to a hang-sill on the roof, silent, as the lady passed them over and searched the corners of the cave lightly, before leaving. She muttered something about the bird not being there.

 

[Jinx3295]

Nathaniel's eyes widened- was she talking about his lovely Tettra? He almost growled, refusing to let this woman take his love away. He remained silen though.

 

[++ Necromancer]

Tettra shuffled a bit, and that was enough to reveal them. The lady turned slowly, her long, white hands caressing the wall. She smiled broadly, silver eyes gleaming in the night-like darkness. she cooed, sweetly- "Whos there? Come out, my dear..."

Tettra was frozen in between going and staying with some sort of fear, and, seeing as the bat didnt move and seemed afraid of this lady, maybe it wasnt a good idea to step foreward.

 

[Jinx3295]

Nathaniel remained silent, and then smiled a bit when a bunch of rats rushed past them into the lady's direction.

 

[++ Necromancer]

The lady paused to look at the rats, her face not loosing its faux emotion but nonetheless disappointed in one way or another. She seemed to have a suspicion about what lay back where she might have lacked in checking, In this cave where the rats come, but she could always come back... She leaned down and picked up a rat, a medium sized black rat, one of the many that had rushed around the cave in a dazed panic, and stroked it lightly, talking to it quietly. It squealed and struggled and was utterly terrified, and when she was done talking to it, she seemed to stroke it a bit longer and then kill it simply, out of what seemed to be boredom. and dropped the body to be dealt with by the mercy of its former peers.

And she didn’t leave.

 

[Jinx3295]

Nathaniel's eyes narrowed, the smile fading. Nothing would get rid of her, would it. He started to think, desperately trying to get an idea. He hated fighting- he didn't want to have to confront this lady.

 

[++ Necromancer]

Tettra hid her face in him, as to not see the animal die, even if the animal was one she would have eaten at any other time. Killing wasnt good unless it was for a reason, and not just out of boredom.

The lady lingered, and sung a little again, leaving slowly and watching the cave for a little longer before being swallowed by the shadows, which seemed to swallow her voice up with it.

 

[Jinx3295]

Nathaniel didn't move though, just in case. He would stay there with her for a while, still feeling suspicious.

 

[++ Necromancer]

She was silent in his arms, shaking slightly. The bat didnt seem to want to come down until she was out of the area, and when she was gone, the bat spread his wings and dropped down to them, fluttering slightly.

 

[Jinx3295]

Nathaniel reached up, and caught Screech." Tettra, your safe now."

 

[++ Necromancer]

She shook, silently, but nodded and smiled weakly at him and the bat that saved them.

 

[Jinx3295]

Nathaniel smiled, petting Screech. "i like this little guy."
