So Nikolai came back with Strider today. We were lucky that he was tired and he let us take his weapons. He won't take his pills and he keeps screaming something about 'TRAINING IN THE RAIN'. I haven't slept in days with looking after the injured and now I don't feel safe sleeping with crazy Strider running around the place.
I would force him but I still feel that punch he gave me and the idea of what Strider off his meds would do kind of scares me. Me and Nikolai finally convinced Aveline that we would handle it and that she could rest. So shes sleeping in the next room right now.
As if Strider wasn't enough we've been having a lot of sightings of Smiley on the camera feed. I also had my first encounter with Darkness. I'd been sitting outside the bunker looking at the stars.
I knew someone was near by.
"Who are you and tell me why I shouldn't kill you right now" I had been getting edgy from the sleep deprivation.
"Now is that anyway to greet a guest?" When she stepped out of the shadows. Though I had never met her I knew from Spyre's different accounts that this was Darkness.
Instantly I was on guard slowly reaching for the dagger I had taken to keeping on my belt. My hand rested on the hilt. "Why are you here?" I asked in what I hoped was a threatening tone.
She chuckled. "Oh please you don't expect to hurt me with that little toy, do you?" She was taunting me. After what she had done to Spyre seeing her here mocking smirk on her face, it made my blood boil.
"I don't like repeating myself. Why are you here?" I asked her again.
"Just to have a little chat." She explained in a matter of fact tone.
"Really now? Somehow I doubt you came here just to talk to me." I was trying to stay calm. I didn't want to do anything rash.
"I'm not here to speak with you. I'm here for Strider. He and me have something to settle." Anger flickered in her eyes if only for a second.
"Your not entering here." I went to draw my dagger. She appeared suddenly in front of me hand on my wrist. Her touch was cold. It was painful. Her grip was strong and I was tired. When a voice spoke up.
"Let go....now darkness!" I looked over and saw Sagari. I was surprised she was here. It seemed darkness was to because her grip loosened enough for me to rip my hand away. She glared at Sagari for a moment before disappearing.
Sagari sighed " I can't be saving you all the time Roy."
"So why are you here Sagari?" Her face turned serious.
"I don't really know what but Smileys planning something. Something big and it has something to do with you."
Me and Sagari talked for another hour or so before she had to travel back to Sanctuary.
Strider just started yelling something....that is it! I'm tired of not sleeping. I'm going to go shove those pills down his throat.
I'll post again when I get some rest.
The path is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWho the heck are you? I don't recall seeing you around here.
DeleteWhoever the fuck you are. This. Isn't. Funny.
DeleteDarkness...ERGH. GREAT! She's HERE now! This is just FANtastic.
ReplyDelete...Lemme count them up
We've got these Fears in California at the moment:
~ The Slender Man
~ The Smiling Man
~ Darkness
~ The Black Dog (Possibly)
Could things get much worse at this point?
Uh....yeah they really could.
DeleteI'm just now starting to remember how big of a bitch Darkness is. If you want, Roy, I'll do a post about everything I learned while I was a Shadow.

That would be much appreciated.
DeleteI'll get to that ASAP, then.
