David
*The man turned around, then gasped aloud at the sight of the haunting figure.*

`"You! You are the one that almost killed my daughter! What are you playing at, stalking my family both night and day? I will not allow you to terrorize us any longer! I have had enough of your nonsense!"`
Adam
*The Ghost would obviously view the old man as weak and frail. He would be almost relaxed when speaking to him.* 
"Oh, don't worry about that. You won't have to deal with my "Nonsense" Much longer."
*The Ghost would brandish his blade before leaning forward and kept into the air with his knife outstretched, the blade reflected the moonlight in a single flash before the knife came downwards aiming for the man's upper chest.*
David
*Makimi's father quickly dodged to the side before pulling out his own blade, taking up a fighting stance. He made several horizontal slashes towards the Ghost's abdomen, attempting to slice him wide open.*
Adam
*The Ghost upon missing his mark would land and do a sweeping kick to knock the old man on his arse and would follow up with another attempt to pierce the old man's chest.*
David
*After falling down, he got back onto his feet with surprising speed, then made another attempt to disable his foe. He would step forward to make his attack, then step back to avoid getting stabbed*
Adam
*Underestimating the old man's speed when he went for the follow up stab the knife hit the balcony floor that made a soft chink sound. The Ghost would roll side ways attempting to avoid the old man's frontal assault and swiftly threw his knife aimed for the old man's right leg.*
David
*With quick thinking, he was able to step out of the way, through the knife did slash his clothes near his ankle as it flew past. He then followed up by attempting to kick the Ghost in his ribcage to knock the wind out of him.*
Adam
*The kick would connect with The Ghost which sent him stumbling backwards from the impact. He then dashed backwards a second time while throwing two more of his throwing knives at the old man at the same time, aiming for his chest. He would then brandish another knife and went into a defensive stance.*
David
*Both knives hit their target, yet neither one hit any vital organs. Makimi's father slowly removed the blades from his flesh before tossing them down to the ground 20 feet below.*

`"You will pay for this! If you lay another hand on my daughter, it will be the last thing you ever do."`
Adam
"Still threatening me whenever you are about to die? I must say your courage is impeccable but ultimately futile. You will fall under my blade and serve my machinations."

*The Ghost would throw yet another two knives at the old man whilst sprinting towards him. He would brandish yet another blade and vanish in a puff of smoke.*
David
*Though wounded, he was still able to get out of the way with only a second to spare. Unable to see his opponent, he grabbed the bottle of red wine he had been drinking earlier and tossed the liquid in the Ghost's general direction.*
Adam
*The wine would miss, but he would be able to see a slight shimmer to his right side as The Ghost attempted to jab his knife into the old man's side,*
David
*The stab caught Makimi's father off guard, and he fell to the floor, glaring up towards his attacker.*

`"I pity you... Because you will never know what it feels like to have your own family... Hideous creature."`
Adam
*An invisible would make a sly remark as his invisibility spell deactivated.*

"Oh, stop that you're making me blush! I'll consider those to be your last words... Time to put the other foot inside the grave old man." 

*The Ghost not underestimating the old man anymore in case he has a final trick up his sleeve, threw his last knife aiming for the old man's throat.*
David
*Even in his weakened state, he still managed to roll to the side, the knife hitting the floor beside his head as he kicked at the Ghost's legs, noticing how close to the ledge he was.*
Adam
*The Ghost fell forward next to the old man due to the kick at his legs. He wouldn't waste anytime and went for his blade that had missed his mark. If he were to retrieve it, he would plunge his knife into the old man's side once more.*
David
*The knife pierced his side, causing him to cry out in pain. He closed his eyes, believing he was going to die. Then, at that moment, the balcony doors flew open.*
Adam
*The Ghost panicked as the doors flew open he would quickly take out his knife and then slice the old man's throat before rolling his aside and getting up.*
Kasey
*There she stood, having returned from her trip, her brother standing just behind her. What she saw made her freeze in place like a marble statue.*
Adam
*A smile crept underneath his mask when he saw her. He gave a mocking salute before jumping off to the side of the balcony with knife in hand. He would grab onto the lower side of the balcony and plunge his knife into the wall as he carefully slid his way down.*
Kasey
*While her brother went to tend to their father's corpse, Makimi stepped towards the balcony's edge, staring out into the darkness. Though she couldn't see the Ghost, she knew he was still there, hiding. Her movements were zombie-like, her blue eyes dark and hollow.*
Adam
*The Ghost would make his escape out of the estate to resupply back in Etolia before he continued his hunt. For now he would allow the chaos he has sown to take his place for now.*
Kasey
*Days passed, and the whole family was drowning in their grief. The head of the family, Makimi's grandfather, just couldn't handle the tragedy of knowing that his son died before him. It wasn't right.*

*As for Makimi, she spent her days after the funeral alone in her room. She wouldn't eat, wouldn't move, wouldn't sleep. It was her fault that her father was dead. If she hadn't met the Ghost in the first place, none of this would've happened. Everything was all her fault.*
Adam
*The Ghost would be at the Inn in Etolia remaking his knives as well as sew pieces of his robes back together.*
Kasey
*There was a knock on Makimi's door, and a servant came in to clean her room. They found her sitting and staring off into space. The sight was unsettling enough to make them leave immediately.*
Adam
*The Ghost finally finished preparations. Now he would wait a few days for the children to go after each other's throats.*

*The Ghost would snicker to himself inside his room.*
"I wonder if they've killed eachother some yet. With the old man out of the way prematurely it's sure to drive the offspring up the wall to reach that position of power."
Kasey
*The siblings continued to argue through the door, but eventually, her brother stormed off, leaving her alone with her thoughts again.*

`"I am the only one left to blame."`

*She glanced down at the knife in her hand, the one that was used to kill her father. It shined brightly.*
Adam
"This has turned out to be a very interesting hunt indeed. I haven't had this much fun in ages. Well it's your move My Lion, I wonder what you'll do. Will you succumb to your grief or will you rise above this and fight for that position. That old man was about to run out of time anyway, I did him a kindness, by putting him out of his misery."
Kasey
*For a while, not much had been heard of the Bazin Family. Now that they had lost a family member, they had stronger security measures put into place, and each member would only leave the estate when they had several guards with them.*

*There were rumors that Makimi was talking to herself, rambling on and on about a "Curse" She had brought onto her own house. It had been a while since anyone saw her*
Adam
*With it now being days since his last visit The Ghost was tempted to back into the fray but refrained and decided to wait a little longer. The seed has been planted, all that is required now is patience.*
Kasey
*While Makimi was no longer starving herself, she was still avoiding human contact at all times, claiming that this "Curse" Would kill anyone she cared about. Her servants were concerned for her mental health, but nobody dared step into her room anymore.*

*Once more, Makimi's brother knocked on her door, trying to comfort her. There was no answer. When he opened the door, he found the room empty, and his sister was gone. He ran to tell the servants, who began to search the grounds for Makimi.*
