Hoss had the wind knocked out of him as he flew backwards and hit a rack hard. He gasped for breath as the wind had been knocked out of him, and before he knew it he was buried by whatever had been on the shelf. Coughing, he fought to get free and find his gun. While he struggled, Delphine sputtered as she fell to the floor and lightly grasped her neck where the shadow had grabbed her. She gasped, desperate to get some air into her lungs but was harshly grabbed once more. She opened her mouth to try and suck in any amount of air, but the force crushing down on her neck was too great. She kicked and flailed again, but her movements started to slow and weaken.<br/><br/>Hearing another loud crash, Charles looked back at the doors and saw there was something in front of it. He pushed hard and tried to move the debris himself but there was simply too much of it. "Dan, give me a hand here!" He shouted when there was really no need to, since Daniel was beside him. "Son of a bitch!" He grumbled, roughly shouldering the door.<br/><br/>As she struggled, she began to feel strange as the shadow started to merge with her. Her grip on the shadow's wrist loosened before her arm fell to the ground entirely and she felt paralyzed. Fear took over her, but there was nothing she could do. She simply was a passenger in her own body that begun to pilot itself. She tried to fight it but she couldn't even feel anything at that point, like her nerve connections had all been severed.<br/><br/>After freeing himself, Hoss stood up and looked at Delphine was standing. He no longer saw the shadow figure, but immediately noticed the red in her eyes. "So do something, you crazy bitch!" He yelled angrily when Zolstra spoke. "You started this all, so surely you can end it too!"
