No worries :) These are the last few
Luke found a room next to Nathan and could be heard snooping around after a moment. "This does look like a nice place to crash," he said, his voice muffled. "Maybe too good, though. I'll bet lots of rough types spend the night here when they can."
Nathan heard Luke in the room next door talking to himself. He didn't question it, though. He'd learned to trust the guy.
He sat on the edge of an old bed frame and buried his head in his hands, inhaling the familiar smell of rotting wood and dust bunnies. It wasn't a pleasant smell on its own, but it was the memories that came with it Nathan clung to. A silver lining if ever there was one.
He grabbed some clothes and got changed, sensing a moment of weakness coming on. Before he could do anything stupid, he walked back to the girls.
Esme was already changed and waiting, eating something that crunched loudly while gazing out the window. "You know, I'm not really the curious type, but sometimes I wonder about places like this. They almost always seem to have a higher concentration of negative energy in them. It could be something happened here that keeps people from coming back."
(Thanks)
Maddie changed quickly, glad of the new clothes and the warmth that filled her suddenly. Putting her hands in her pocket to warm up her fingers, she walked back over to Esme and Nathan.
Dressed and warm, Nathan sat down on the musty floor and inhaled deeply. "How's it going, Maddie?"
Maddie shrugged, “Better then before, at least I’m warm now. What about yourself?”
He looked around the building, taking it in. "Half-decent, considering."
(hey, I'm back ^^)
Esme suddenly jerked away from the window and looked up at the ceiling, her expression wary. "Guys, shh. Did you hear that?"
From somewhere overhead had come a gentle creak, as if someone was standing on the roof above them.
Nathan jumped to his feet. "I do now," he answered quietly. "Quickest way up?"
"Hold it….." Esme's face was tight. "I'm not sure we really want to–"
All at once the ceiling exploded inward, showering them with bits of rotten wood and tile. A sharply glowing figure landed on the floor in a crouch, its massive wings spread out to brush either side of the room. It looked like a man, but his hair and eyes were steely blue. He carried a long white sword that hummed as it moved through the air.
Esme leaped back, swearing. "Scatter! Get out of the house!"
In the blur of wood splinters and noise, Nathan sprinted back into the hallway he'd just come from. He skidded to a stop in front of a familiar-looking door.
"Luke!" he shouted. "Where did you go, you moron?"
“What the hell?!” Maddie looked around for the quickest way out of the house from where they were. Spotting a window not too far away, she tried her best to make her way over without drawing much attention to herself and get out safely.
"Hey, name-calling is rude," Luke said, appearing from the chaos of the living room with a fresh cut on his jaw. "Got a plan, or just looking out for me?"
The glowing figure turned and lunged at Esme, who fended it off with a wall of darkness and sped off down a different hall. The figure said nothing, only tucked in its wings and released a blast of energy that almost shook the building to pieces.
(oops didn't mean to double-post there)
(well I had an idea that I think I'll stick to if you don't mind, but it's okay, we'll roll with it ^^)
"Well it looks like this place is about to bust a pipe," Luke called back. "Maybe lock it in the bathroom?"
(Go ahead with yours I'm not going anywhere with mine)
(Okay awkwardly fumbles rp and drops it oops I'm bad at this sorry)
Esme appeared out of nowhere, looking out of breath. "We need to leave. Where's Maddie?"
(OH OUCH THE MATT SMITH PHONE CALL)
(haha no worries you're doing great)
Nathan's head swivelled as he talked. "She ran out of the house. I don't know where she went."
(bed time for me, see yall tmr)
(okay seeya ^^)
"Okay well let's find her because that thing is about to give me blood poisoning–" There was a loud crash from the room nearby and Esme flinched violently. "…Okay?"
