Game Two

[Erik de Maricourt]

Nightfall's face is pale, his breathing ragged. He has been shaken to his core.

"The child... I wonder if she escaped... is she... still alive...?"

[vampyr_Jakayle]

*smiles at nightfall* She is. She still breathes, among the delecate flowers of north. Be careful... *she looks down at the ground* it's tainted with evil. She will only be set free, if you retrieve her. She can only leave by the hands of this party... You can only find her if your intentions are pure... that's the only way you can leave... she will then be part of the party.... *she grins evilly* how do you know her intentions are pure? *she returns looking innocent... as if she knows something, she stays still, not moving, looking straight ahead..... not breathing.... just waiting*

[Erik de Maricourt]

Nightfall notices the look on Jakayle's face.

"Care to elaborate on that?" There is a tremor in his voice.

[vampyr_Jakayle]

*Smirks, at nightfalls horror* Whats wrong?? Scared?? Well, ... I am trapped, in my darkest form... The highest evil... It may even turn me insane, I still know though... I know about her... *she returns to looking wise, still, not even blinking*

[Scardy]

The girl had returned. Her parents went ballistic,and the girl was forcedto stay with Scardy.
"She waspretty," the girl said. "Her feetnevertouchedthe ground, and she tok me to a house.when shedidn'tcome basck, Idecided to come home."
Scardy patted the girl and handed her somemore wool to card. They were working hard. Scardy was often sent bad children to help her with chores. She was a slow worker, and didn't say much at times. the children often told stories in order to get sent there.
Her intended scared the kids, but not as much as Scardy's stories. Stories of evil lights in the woods, mutilations, ghosts, and evils the catholics had subjected the protestants to long ago.
The Sheriff banged on thedoor and Scardy got up, her backcramped forthe long hours of sitting.
"the first search party hasn't returned, nor the one TWEEK< Jerry, and Nightfall were with. After whatyou told me, they may of gotten lost.
"'Lost' is a serious understatement,sheriff."
"Where werethey headed last, Mrs-"
"It's still Miss."
"Miss Rath."
"they were headed toward Coffin Rock the Last time I saw them."
"So was the Lady!" the little girl interjected.
The sheriff and Scardy lookled atone another, the impliactions dawning on them, and the denials.
"I'll go with you." Scardy told him,and the conversation was over.

[Jerry]

"What the f*ck?" He rubs the back of his head and looks around. The corpses smell horrible.

"I don't remember anything about falling." He looks at Tweek and remembers that he hates his guts and has a score to settle with him.

"You know it's just me and you here a*shole. I don't like f*cks that put knives to my throat."

Jerry rears back a fist and slams it straight into Tweek's chops. Tweek falls back landing on one of the dead bodies.

[Tweek]

TWEEK rubs his jaw, then turns his head to spit out a tooth and a quantity of blood. The red goo swirls into the creek water and vanishes at once. In a second TWEEK is back on his feet. The fight is on.

There is a brawl in the creek that lasts the next fifteen minutes. Until both Jerry and TWEEK are bruised and bloody, and too tired to throw any more punches. Exhausted and soaking wet, they both collapse on the muddy creek bank.

Unseen by both men, there is movement on the rock. Near the bodies a large vulture has landed and begun to feed on the cadavers.

[Jerry]

"You fight like a girl!"

Jerry is out of breath and lies on the ground, looking up at the sky. The sound of flesh being pulled off of one of the dead bodies can be heard.

"What the hell is that . . ?

[Erik de Maricourt]

Nightfall stops, his eyes scanning through the trees. A strong wind begins to blow. His cloak dances violently in the wind as he raises a hand to shield his eyes.

"Something is wrong... Very wrong..."

The sound of rocks banging together echoes through the trees. A look of fear crosses his face.

"Something is here..."

[vampyr_Jakayle]

*Being the only female in the search party, Jakayle turns away from the men, fighting like schoolyard boys* Stop fighting... your intentions were more evil than Elly's powers itself. You managed to overturn her... *she smiles* Evil overpowered itself... *she screams* IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! *she grabs ochre and mixes it with the creek water, she paints a picture, almost a photograph, of scardy and a little girl, returning calm, even a smile on her face.*

[Tweek]

"Ah good. You're back. Hand me my gun. I'm gonna shoot this sumbeech! You just... AWW HELL!!!"

TWEEK locates his rifle. During the melee it slid off the rock and into the water. He won't be firing this gun at anyone now. "This is your fault too..."

He casts a hateful glare at Jerry, his eyes bloodshot and full of murderous rage.

"You are SO lucky, man. You just watch yourself the rest of this trip. This isn't over..."

[Erik de Maricourt]

Nightfall looks at Jakayle.

"A house divided against itself cannot stand..."

[Jerry]

"No sh*t it's not over."

He reaches into his pack and pulls out his revolver. He pulls back the hammer and smiles.

"Say your prayers a*shole!"

He pulls the trigger only to hear a click.

"What the . . ."

Jerry gets even more pissed off and throws the gun at Tweek, bonking him on the ole noggie. He chuckles heartily and looks around at the other two for additional laughs and support.

[Tweek]

A dazed TWEEK staggers backwards and falls into the water again with a great splash. Unable to stand back up, he is slowly being swept along with the current.

The vulture takes flight, swoops very close to Jerry's head, then flies away towards the south.

[Jerry]

"Well, is anybody gonna' save this puke?"

Jerry looks from Jakayle to Nightfall.

"I guess not."

Jerry moves forward and wades out into the water. He turns around abruptly.


"I wasn't gonna' kill em just scare em. I find it odd Jakayle that you claim that we topped the evil of your Blair Witch just fighting when the witch has killed people and children. I think you're a little mixed up."

Jerry moves faster than the current and catches up to Tweek, grabbing him by the shoulder.

"This a*shole is lucky I have a heart. Don't want you to drown sweetie."

[Heather, taking a piss.]

Those brave men were confuse and began wondering about if they were really going to exit those woods sometime soon.

[Tweek]

TWEEK gets to his feet at last, then blinks his eyes to get them to focus. He does not acknowledge Jerry's rescue or even seem to see him. His eyes are fixed on Coffin Rock.

"Where'd they go...?" he whispers. "Where are they?"

The bodies are gone. Every last one. There are traces of blood on the rock, and the flies still buzz around the spot. But the corpses have vanished into thin air.

"Boy. That buzzard must have been REALLY hungry..."

[Erik de Maricourt]

Nightfall turns to TWEEK.

"What?"

He rushes over to the rock where the bodies were, only to find that they were in fact gone.

"I don't believe this..."

[Jerry]

"They couldn't have gotten up and walked away. "

Jerry approached the rock and looked around.

"There are no traces. No blood trail. Nothing."

He turns around and looks at the others.

"What the hell is going on?"

[Heather, taking a piss.]

The eerie smell of death was all over the place, while the rock they were standing on was covered with blood and cutted ropes.

The strange event had no explanation.

[Erik de Maricourt]

Nightfall looks at TWEEK.

"We have to go. You know just as well as I do that no vulture had anything to do with those bodies disappearing. There is something at work here, something far beyond our understanding, and it does not have good intentions for the rest of us. We must leave now!"

[Jerry]

"I second that sh*t . . . that's what I'm screamin'."

Jerry looks at Tweek and at Jakayle. He never misses a chance to get a few jabs in.

"However these two f*cks want to go on about being in a mist . . . How they are the way and change your life or some stupid crap. Come on Jakayle . . . lets hear some more BS."

He looks over at Nightfall. "Lets get movin'."

[Erik de Maricourt]

Nightfall glares at Jerry.

"Cut the egotistical babble and MOVE! The longer we stay here, the less chance we have of getting out of here alive!"

He moves past them, his cloak wildly flapping in the wind.

[Tweek]

TWEEK approaches the bloody rock, hesitates for a moment, then presses his palms into the sticky blood. He then touches a clean spot, leaving a pair of crimson handprints.

"Wait up, Nightfall. I'm right behind ya..."

Collecting his waterlogged rifle, TWEEK casts a blank look at Jerry and then marches off behind Nightfall.

[Jerry]

Jerry busts out laughing at the cold stare from Tweek. He lifts up his pack and begins to walk. He turns back to look at Jakayle.

"Are you comin' Mother Goose or are you gonna' stand there with your thumb up your butt?"

He sees a "pissed off" look smear across Jakayle's face. He immediately begins laughing and walks off.
