Crimson let out a scream of pain. He felt the pain surging through his leg and all of his body and it made him feel alive. Even wounded he went after Selene with a fury. "You should've stayed dead mon cherie" he shouted as he went to kick her, but the pain was so great when it connected that he backed off. "You may have won this time, but we are long from done" he said softly as he limped away from her. He limped to the elevator and went down to the basement and into one of the rooms that had some weird kind of torture device in the middle. He couldn't help but laugh as his eyes were filled with joy at looking at this marvelous machine.

((Arn't we already in the basement???? Under the first 3 first floors????? I'm so confused!! You said you were gonna be in the basement... but we already were there... where the heck are we??? D;
Welcome Samona, hope you like it here ^w^))

Mercedes turned in surprise as Selene got back up, and chased after Crimsons... What should she do? She'd been challenged by a demon, and it had been a while since she'd taken her power to it's full extent... but... Mercedes glanced behind her shoulder, back down the hall way that she had come, expecting Sabrina, Lily, and Darren to be right behind her... had something happened to them? Had they run into some harm or something? She knew she should go back to the kids... but that demon just infuriated her... it was like the bastard was mocking her, posing as her sisters murder... Finally she made up her mind. The demon was going to pay, and she was going to make it so.
Mercedes ghosted along the hall way until she got to the stairs, and fell through to the basement. There, she saw Sabrina, with a shot gun, standing over Crimson. "Wait!" Mercedes yelled, "don't kill the kid! Guns won't work on these guys, you have to..." Mercedes faltered... She'd encountered demonic possessions... Hell she had even been possessed for the past few years of her life...
But both her and her sister had given up... They'd taken the easy way out... Both choosing death over fighting... What had she been thinking? Mercedes' mind was reeling, she wasn't sure what the heck she had been thinking... How did she expect to help this boy, when she hadn't even tried to help herself? Mercedes pushed both hands into her hair, as Crimson ran to the elevator.
What had she expected? For her to just confront the demon, and expect it to leave? To abandon this perfect host? Young, strong, seemingly submissive boy? Mercedes felt like laughing, and just giving up...
She stood there, hands in hair, mind trying to make ends meet, for what felt like literally forever... But when she finally looked up, the doors to the elevator weren't even fully closed. She hadn't fully made up her mind, no ends had been fully met, and she wasn't completely sure that she had made the right decision... But she had made a commitment. She had said that she was going to help this boy, and dammit, she was going to help him. Even if it meant sacrificing her eternal life as a ghost... and finally going to the other side...
Mercedes set her sight forward, right at the elevators, and let the metal plate fly, hoping to the god that she barely even believed in anymore that it would stick, at least between the elevator doors...
Mercedes could have cried, screamed and cheered, as the doors jammed open with the plate smashed into the opening, but she knew she didn't have the time. She ran towards the door, as fast as her ghostly legs would allow her...

~~Darren~~

'Sabrina?' Darren threw his voice out through the hall way. He regretted the fact that he had started to follow Mercedes before realizing that both Sabrina and Lily were gone... He could find Mercedes, just by searching out her unique life force... But humans all felt the same... It was only after they had died... or after something dead had taken them over... Darren hoped that he wouldn't have to wait that long before he could find the girls... 'Sabrina??' He yelled out louder...

[[giving others the chance to fill in, not in the mood really to RP much of right now]]

((Haha sorry for the super late post, been super busy with school and waiting on Darren to do something I could act off of :) ))

Sabrina heard a faint voice, which sounded like Darren, as she ran down a hall. She froze and called back "DARREN? Darren is that you?" She prayed it was, and as she started towards where the voice had come from she heard a blood curdling scream. "oh no Lily..." Sabrina took off down the hall towards the scream, and prayed Darren had heard her or the scream.

Lily lay still pinned on the bed as surgical scissors impaled her thigh, she couldnt help but scream, as the pain and the fear set in. A second knife floated through the air slashing at the beds, slowly working its way towards hers. Lily began to shake almost violently with fear and pain and adrenaline. She could feel her heart racing as if she was in a marathon and knew she had to do something. The only thing she could think to do however was force the spirit that had possessed her out, but how do you force a spirit out? Lily could think of nothing and decided screaming was her best and only option. She let out a second scream praying someone would find her, and quickly.

Darren heard the screams, and admittedly ran to where they were coming from. He found Lily first, and Sabrina soon ran into the room. He quickly glanced about the room, noticing everything at once. He went right over to Lily, and did the only thing that he could think of... He went in. First he looked right into Lilys eyes, then he said, as clearly as he could, 'focus on me.' He dove into Lily's body and was immediately bombarded on all sides by screams, and yells. He looked blindly around, and suddenly felt a strong hand grip his throat. "What is this?" The demon asked in a gravely voice, "a little ghost? Attempting a possession??" Darren heard deep throaty laughter, and felt himself being shaken. "What could you do against me boy? What did you hope to do? Force me out?" More laughter, more shaking... Darren felt like he was going insane. He shouldn't have done this, what had he thought to accomplish? What was he doing? Darren gasped for air that he didn't remember he didn't need, and attempted to kick at the demon holding him. "Wow! Look at the fight in this kid! What a joke!" Darren felt close to tears, though he couldn't cry, as he screamed out, "Lilly can you hear me??"

Sabrina watched the spectacle in the room, confused what to do, she stood there in horror. Lily was shaking violently and Sabrina could hear multiple voices coming out of her mouth. Though the objects had stopped flying across the room, Sabrina was fearful to enter.

Lily watched Darren she could hear him and welcomed him in unsure what else to do. She called out his name, and could hear him inside her along with the demon. She could feel the struggle going on inside herself, and tried to focus all her energy on Darren and helping him.

Crimson continued to wait around in the old room with the strange looking device in the middle of it. He kept looking at this device over and over. It was large and had places where it restrained the hands and feet. It looked like a table a mortician would use, stood up on one end. There were all kinds of cables coming from it. He followed a really big cable with his eyes to the source, a big control panel of some sort. "Oh my... I think I get it! They would hook up the "patient" and give them "electro-therapy". That gives me an idea" he said to himself. "Now where are those people? Have they forgotten all about me? I guess I'll have to go get them!!!" Crimson left the room with a huge grin and went looking for the first person he saw. He started calling out names. "Selena! Mercedes! Sabrina! Lily! Selena! Mercedes! Sabrina! Lily! Selena! Mercedes! Sabrina! Lily!" He kept repeating those names, getting louder and louder, taunting them more. "Come out come out! No use in hiding from me, even though I would be scared beyond death too"

Selene closed her eyes hearing the call from afar. She didnt have the greatest feeling, though in itself, he had already killed her once, the only way she was going to die was if her head was lopped off, or had her brain fried. Looking back she remember about the other girls "Mercedes, I've died once I think I can handle it once more, I just want you to keep the others safe, including yourself, though your a ghost, it doesnt matter." Selene cocked the riffle and walked to find Crimson once more, going through the elevator, she felt a more grim feeling then before. She entered the hall then, and walked out looking around, without notice she passed the room Crimson was within, would he have seen her?

((Just a little note, Crimson doesn't know Sabrina's name or Lily :) ))

((Crimson does know Sabrina's because she told him her name when they met bfore Crimson was possessed))

((okay but he still doesnt know Lily then :) ))

Name: Dalix
Age: 34
Powers:Werebear
Description: 6'4", red hair, Scottish(with kilt )

Crimson noticed Selene walking by and just stood there in horror. "How is that possible? I saw her die! I took her final breathe" he thought to himself as he was shaking slightly and gasping for a breath. He didn't know what to do or what to say.

Selene stopped in her tracks, and started laughing to herself. She wasnt herself, but became a vengful spirit. She turned to crimson, giving him a twisted smile. Taking a step forward she held a scaple tightly in her hand. Selene walked a slow pace to him "Now you deserve the pain you brought me, and other innocent people" She stopped, and stared at the floor for a moment. Selene started laughing manically "Now you die~!" She charged forward thrusting the scapel at him.

[[i believe the hunter became the hunted =] ]]

Crimson stood there, frozen by fear, before stumbling backwards and falling to the floor. He tries to scream but nothing came out as he tried to get up and run. He suddenly stops and faces Selene and is impaled by by the scalpel. He looks down and sees the blade in him and smiles at the blood starting to trickle out and stained his shirt red

Selene crouched down to him with a smile, and a wicked glance "You sir, claim to be the Fleur Du Mal, I know you really arent, Crimson. Release yourself from this innocent. Or I'll have to finish you off." She leaned down and bit his bottom lip, and shoving the scapel deeper into his stomach, licking the blood exiting his mouth "I dont want to kill you.." She then whispered into his ear.

Crimson started to close his eyes. "Even the Fleur Du Mal can lose some of its life, but it can never die." He struggles to get to his feet, but finally he stands and pushes Selene away from him and wipes the remaining blood from his mouth. He's seriously injured, but still manages to give a slight grin. "I was shocked to see your still among us, yet I'm glad at the same time." He then collapses and falls to his knees. Crimson felt the demon fading for a moment "Do you see that machine? It's designed for electroshock-therapy. You've got to try and shock it out of me. I think that's how it originally died..."

Selene slightly smiled, but then wore a frown at the very least. She helped up Crimson and sat him within the chair. "I dont want to do this." She whispered softly while strapping him in. Selene walked over to the switch, and looked back at Crimson. "Are you sure you want to do this.." She asked

Mercedes cursed again, as she wandered around the empty halls. She'd lost them, too focused on the elevator, when had ended up some how being empty. She passed around another corner, frowning. She sighed, and came across another ghost, a little girl who was sucking her thumb with tears running down her face. She looked up at Mercedes and tilted her head to the side, like she was confused. Mercedes barely paused to look at her, poor ghosts like this were much to common here to really notice every one. But the little girl reached out a hand and pointed away from her, down the hallway that Mercedes had just come from. 'That way,' the voice echoed, and Mercedes turned around, "are you sure?" She asked unsure. The girl looked up, removing her thumb once again, 'positive,' then she returned her thumb, and slowly vanished.

Mercedes sat there looking doubtfully at the empty hall way, suddenly Nina was next to her. The vision of her twin pushed her forward down the same hall, nodding. Finally Mercedes gave in and began walking back down the way she'd come. Her sister following close behind her. When Mercedes heard the first of the screaming, she turned another corner and began running. At the second scream, she was fed up with running, and dematerialized her legs. Now gliding along the floor she was faster and made it to the room in half the time, but it wasn't enough. By the time she got there Selena was already helping Crimson into the chair.

"I thought I told you not to kill him! That wont help anything! That demon will just jump into the nearest body, which would be you. And with your witch curse or whatever, we wouldn't be able to extract him then." She said as she went over to Selene, attempting to pull the boy from her grasp, but with such little experience on this floor, she couldn't even touch him...

Crimson could hardly speak because of his weakened state. "Kill the host. Kill the Parasite. If we have any luck, we'll meet again on different terms" he dropped his head to the side a bit and gave a quick smile. "I'm ready, but do it quick" he said at last.

Mercedes shook her head, glaring, as Selene set Crimson in the large chair, "that's not how it works, and if you'd spent any time studying the demon inside you you'd know that. To banish the demon, you have to administer the same life threatening stimulation to the host that it needed to get in." She was still shaking her head, "so unless you were hit by lightening when you were possessed, then this will do nothing but piss him off, and end you life..."
