Life Shards: The Recollections

[Tim Siguire]

Sotharc slept soundly against the bloodied bed. Although dry, it still seemed damp.
He laid against the bed and mumbled in his sleep.


"Im not dying here.. im not staying here...."

[Jacob Hail]

Jacob sat up, a look of confusion on his face. "What do you mean attacked? What shadow beast?" The fox looked around to each of the protectors, finally settling on Vital. "I missed a lot.... didnt  I"

Upstairs Lennox went to the emploies lounge and tried to ignore the bodies of his friends. He went to his locker, opened it, and pulled out his spare hoody and shirt. He put them on and then also grabbed his spare knife and two belt bags that had 10 throwing knifes each, and his backpack. He strapped the bags to his belt,  and headed to his boss's office.  "Sorry boss but i need a raise." It was a little easier to search the body of his boss but then again he hated his boss when he was alive. When he found the key to the safe he, opened a trap door beneath the desk where the safe was. Using the key he opened the safe and began stuffing the money in his backpack. When he was done he headed back down stairs. At one point he thought he heard muttering in one the rooms but ignored it. He came down the stairs and rejoined the group. "We should leave, this place has to many memories. My car is in the parking lot."

[Saphira/Sephir Wolfdragon]

Sephir nodded at Jacob "yeah, but we sorta missed it too so don't worry too much about it. Saphira was halfway to Luxembourg and I was out cold on the parking lot when Lennox killed that wierd monster and apparently the fight was a distraction for it to kill everyone here so I think you're lucky to have missed it" he said.

Saphira hugged Vital "good morning sleepyhead" she said to him and nuzzled him.

Then Lennox came back.

"We are not getting into any car" they both said. "We fly, but you can drive" Sephir added and made a gesture towards the door.

[Tina]

"That's what i figured, but the rest of us can't. I don't know where you guys were headed before you stopped here but where ever it is, its better then here."

[Tim Siguire]

Sotharc awoke and yawned, stretching out and getting up to look out the window.
He stared out into the city and watched the snow covered streets.
"I gotta destroy this building but I love the beds..." He felt his face and noticed the tattoo had a slight engraving in his cheek.
"Hmm, wasn't like this before.." He picked up his 44 and fired a round through the window, hitting the street.
"Im going to have to destroy the hotel's gas line.... if it has one."


Sotharc held his 44 and checked it's chambers. One was blank from recently and another was blank, mid-roll.
"4 left. All I need is one."
Sotharc left the room and was respecfully carrying a body, but he went upstairs instead of down.
"Hahhhh... maybe I should just go to the boiler room... I forgot how heavy furs get after death. I still can not understand that. Shouldn't the live body be heavier? I mean, it would make sense since a live fur can manipulate how heavy they feel.
Hmmm... Im kinda hungry.. im sorry guys but I am hungry. Im going to take a break and eat something.
Breakfast, a Dinner... anything."
Sotharc gently laid the body down and stared out the window again, almost as if he was waiting for something to leave.

[Saphira/Sephir Wolfdragon]

"Luxembourg in Luxembourg" Sephir replied and held the door for the rest of party.

[Tina]

Lennox left the building and went to his car. He couldn't help the feeling he was being watched but he was too tired to care. He got in his car and started the engine and waited for Jacob to get in.

[Babydoll Animis]

Vital nuzzled saphira back and giggled, "wheres luxembourg?"

[Jacob Hail]

Jacob sighed and stood, checking the clip on his .45 before proceeding out the door. Getting to Lennox's car he stopped for a momment and turned to Saphira. "Would you prefer we take Vital in the car? Id assume it would make it easier for you yo fly if you had less weight."

[Babydoll Animis]

"W-Well if im getting in the way i could always just go back into the shard..." he said a bit sadly,

[Tim Siguire]

Sotharc watched everyone leave the building. He gently laid thae body down and walked downstairs.
some mysterious feeling poked at him after the hotel became a bit dim from the doors closing.
He felt the hotel.. all of it, he hadn't gone to the darkest part yet. He felt the boiler room would actually scare him.
Sotharc readily held his Large Nightblade and his 44, then he descended into the boiler room to find the gas line.

The hotel didn't feel like this before... I think someone or something happened and now it feels really... deadening.
Hmmm, that's not a word but I know what it means.

Sotharc's Shadow split from him, manifested into a self aware form and watched Sotharc's back.
''Don't you worry. If I sense something, i'll let you know. ''

Sotharc found the gas line but it was already pumping into the hotel. He knew if he shot it now, he'd die.
I have to use a cement or metal plate.. AH, My knives!

Sotharc covered his face, stepped out of the Hotel, and placed two small knives in the window.
Now.. to ignite the- "Sotharc... I think I sense something at the door. It isn't a wraith, but it isn't alive either."
Uh, what? Can it walk? Can it run? Can it make sounds?
"I can't tell.."

[Fenox Helkiin]

A few growning noises came from behind the door as the room got darker and black veins and vines spread around the room coming from the shadows and covering over any source of light it could.   

[Tim Siguire]

*gulp* Ahgem... Shadow.. what is that..? I swear, if you're pulling a prank, i'm gonna make hay outta you.
"That's not me.. what's at the door? Sounds like a person.. alive?"
I'll check, where's my chain... aha, Hyu! *Sotharc throws the chain at the door and tries pulling it open*
umm... it won't budge. *chain breaks the handle* Great.


Sotharc wields both blades and steps towards the doors, listening to the groan get louder and louder the closer he gets.
The groans stop for a short period and Sotharc reaches to pull the door open, hoping it went away.

[Fenox Helkiin]

When he opens the doors a one of the other tenants is standing there void of colour and life with completely blacked out eyes, pail fur and the strange vines stretching from a gaping hole in his chest and up his neck into his tear ducts. The tenant looks straight through Sotharc as though he isn't there and stumbles forward.
