The push and pull of the abyss soon snapped like rubber,strands of darkness flared out as Eli's soul broke free. Almost audible a snap was heard, the soul had been placed back. Eli's eyes shot open and he let out a cry as he sat up gripping his right wrist, the one he used to try and protect himself with. His breathing hitched as he fell to his side coughing, gasping, wide eyed as the air rushed back into him. He griped his neck and sat up rubbing it, looking to his wrist there was the series of bites from the darkness. So he had gained his spirit. A snake, that is what bit him. The marks were inked into his skin but dripping blood lightly before it stopped.<br/><br/>He looked around and soon realized that hadn't been a dream. Eli pulled his knees closer and his head bent, "She said good bye..." his eyes closed as he let tears flow. As he did he felt something sliding against his feet, lifting his head he saw a navy mist in the form of a snake before him. His eyes glowed as it stared up at him. Hissing at him. Making his skin crawl. The Slayer blinked as the snake curled around his knees and faced him. The emotions he felt were strange and he was intrigued, he wanted them. The murderous intent, it was strong.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #40BFFF">You lossst the one you want, to a man.

What emotion are you."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #40BFFF">I am the premeditation of murder. The Blood Lust of a Killer.</span></span><br/><br/>Eli smiled and picked up his knife after putting his coat on and closing it. His scarf wrapped around him as he went to the door, "The walls and streets will flow with the blood of the ones who try to confine me. I will take her back. Let the Rivers run red." he then left the apartment and began his hunt.
