But this staff...is too important...to leave behind" Vangelos replied as he continued struggling.<br/><blockquote><div><cite>xblurp wrote:</cite> The girl continued watching the monster and Vangelos wrestle, but it looked like the creature would win if she didn't do something. "You really owe me after this one." The girl said walking over to the creature. She was quiet, very quiet in her movements and it seemed almost unnatural how close she got to the creature. Before Vangelos could realize where she was in the dark, she stood next to the creature reaching her arms around it's body. She pulled it's body back off of Vangelos, just quick enough for the creature not to react, but as soon as she did both her and the creature seemed to fade into the hall.</div></blockquote><br/>Vangelos sat up against the wall breathing heavily as the creature was lifted off of him. How the girl was able to do such a thing so effortlessly was beyond him. He looked around the room for the pair but they seemed to have vanished. Vangelos looked to his right and left, but it was so dark that it was hard to tell exactly what he was looking at. In the distance, however, he could make out two shapes. They were fighting one another just as vigorously as he was if not more so. Vangelos shot to his feet, staff in hand, and raced towards the girl, hoping to aid her. It was hard to tell who was winning and who was losing, and at times they couldn't even be seen as they fought in pitch darkness.<br/>Before Vangelos got any closer there was an abrupt silence. He stood there in the darkened hall and looked into the inky blackness where he had last seen the pair. There, rising from the shadows was a form, but it stood close to the ground and moved slowly. Much like the creature had.<br/>"Miss...is that you? Are you alright? If it's you can you please let me know?" Vangelos said as he ever so slowly approached the darkened figure.
