Jacob picked up Tori, and carried her across the room, stopping to gauge his jump down into the black murky water that separated them from the opposing basement exit.  "Hold on" He said and leaped in, splashing down and pushing his leg muscles hard , he meant to move quick. He noticed one thing immediately, Methane, the gas was forming bubbles in the water as it seeped up through the floor. Something was happening, and it wasn't going to be good.<br/><br/>He pushed hard and tried to cross the distance as quickly as he could.  But with the debris and other underwater hazards he wasn't surprised when his foot caught on something. His momentum jerked to a stop, and he almost dropped Tori into the water, but stopped just short, they'd made it almost all the way across to the other landing.  Jacob leaned, stretching his lanky form and Tori hopped off onto the dry stone platform.<br/><br/>He jerked hard, and then twisted his hips trying to free his ankle, seeing that it was more bound than he'd assumed, Jacob reached down into the water and tried to grab whatever it was off of him.  The second his hands touched the slimy muscled tentacle , he realized how bad the situation really was, His eyes grew large as his face stared up at Tori. "RUN NOW!!" Jacob screamed just as several more black tentacles rose from the water and swarmed him.<br/><br/>Tori reeled in horror as she saw the massive things envelope her boyfriend, slithering around him and pulling him down into the water.  "GEEET UUUUSED TOOOO IT!" The dark echoing, booming voice filled the basement chamber, shaking the mansion's foundation, dust drifted down from the ceiling.<br/><br/><br/>************<br/><br/><br/>" LOOK HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN, FATHER! MY MOTHER WAS BEAUTIFUL, YOU USED TO REIGN IN DECADENCE HERE IN YOUR HOME AND NOW LOOK AT YOU....YOU RUN AND HIDE IN ANY FORM YOU CAN FIND....WHATS THIS? A COMMON WHORE, BEATEN AND MARRED? " Jacen screams out at Shanna while she bucks wildly on Fish's broken form.<br/><br/>"Begone....You are nothing but a failed experiment boy, your mother tainted your blood!" Shanna's head twists around to stare down at the small decayed form.<br/><br/>"I still bear the blood of Crenshaw, and you will never have it, I will go and cast myself onto the flame!" Jacen shot back, and this was enough to draw the monster that inhabited Shanna's body's attention. Her lips peeled back and her big black eyes rolled back into her head as she began to shake and quiver.<br/><br/>Suddenly the massive stone arm of the statue reached up and grabbed Shanna's slumping body, it picked her up and ripped into two pieces, sending blood and gore everywhere. The busted up statue rose from it's seated position to its full height, oblivious to Fish, who slid off of the thing and slumped to the ground. The busted head and shoulders of massive thing stretched and strained against the timbers of the ceiling above it, bringing plaster crumbling down into the room. Jacen shuddered in fear, watching as Megot Vazhoul began to take it's true form.
