Reaching Salvation: Post-Acer Part 12

"Wh-What...?" Kira blinked at Paul, drawn back into reality.

---

"No," Heidi responded automatically, before recognizing the voice and nearly leaping out of bed and hugging Erika. "Erika!" she laughed happily, before another wave of sickness took her over.

Erika grabbed the bucket and lifted it up for the woman to use. She had become used to this by now.

"Your nerves in your arm are acting funny," Paul said, "Is something wrong?"

Heidi blinked back tears, before rubbing her eyes. "I'm sorry..."

---

"I don't th-think so..." Kira trailed of, biting her lip. Was she sick?

Paul shook his head. "Never mind, thanks for the trees," Paul said, "I hope you don't mind if I build a house so close to your forest."

"I-It's fine, a-as long as y-you don't intrude..." Kira smiled weakly at Paul.

Paul nodded. "Thanks," he said, before heading out the the trees. Lots of work to do.

Erika lightly smacked Heidi across the face, kind of a bitch-slap.

"You. Idiot." Erika replied bluntly.

"I'll just head out now..." Neo said, quickly excusing himself.

OOC: God dammit, thanks alot Ib for planting this idea in my head...

With Joey's departure, Sage went home to investigate the mirror more closely. When she entered...the door closed itself after she got a few feet in,a nd then locked itself.

Sage gasped, and quickly turned around.

...

The lock was broken...she couldn't get out that way.

Come Sage....come...

"T-this is a little creepy...When did my house get possessed...?"

Upstairs, the mirror still had Sage's image, and was laughing to itself...

Heidi took the hit, vaguely wondering why Eeika just didn't hit her harder. "I...fucked up..."

Melaney walked into Sage's house. "Sage...?" she called out.

OOC: Door's locked Poker, no way in. ._.

OOC: Melaney has many methods of getting into places Like her shadow warp.

OOC: Well then, I'mma ahve to speed this up... And by speed it up, I mean completely bs this.

(~)

The house was deadly silent...except for the broom sweeping up Kira's cut hair still.

OOC: If you don't want me interfering then say so... ^^;

Melaney looked around the room, her serpents stretching out and sniffing the area.

OOC: Eh, it's nothing major. Just wanted to be creepy for once. xP Or rather, something else.

---

If they were sniffing for Sage, they would have smelt her scent all over the house. Just to mess with them...can snakes even sniff?

OOC: They can smell with their tongues. And these are serpents. it's different.

Melaney frowned. "Where'd Sage go..."

Leave....Now... A voice said as a window near Melaney became stained with red liquid. Only visible somehow on the inside.

"How fast can you 'fly' since I restored your flow?" Nathan queried, not really fancying a walk at normal pace.

Melaney blinked, not really disturbed by the stain. "...well that's new..."

There was knocking at a window.

Melaney went to the window, staring at it with curiosity.

All that was on that window, was a handprint.

Leave now, Melaney...

"...can I at least know why? i was never mean to you, house..." Melaney mumbled.
