[QUOTE="talien, post: 4855612, member: 3285"] [b]Black Guard: Part 4 – “I Love You…”[/b] Jim-Bean pushed aside a floppy orange-colored doll with wide, staring eyes and a huge grinning maw to reach for the figurines. To his psychic perception they were sparkling with energy. He had no idea how they’d gotten into Marissa’s closet. Jim-Bean didn’t realize the temperature in the room had plummeted until he caught sight of the sleeping girl’s breath, misting in the air. He shivered. Banging resounded from the kitchen, breaking the silence within the home. Crashing sounds and breaking glass quickly followed, as the volume of noise increases to deafening levels. Jim-Bean leapt up and ran into the kitchen, pistol out. Archive and Jim-Bean skidded into the kitchen at the same time. The cabinets of the kitchen violently opened, slammed shut, and opened again. With each opening, contents of the cabinets crashed out onto the tiled floor. “What the hell is going on?” shouted Hammer, pointing his pistol everywhere at once. “Poltergeist!” shouted Archive. “It’s probably connected to the girl—“ The pantry door boomed as it banged shut, and reopened. Jim-Bean ducked a can of food. Unlike his two companions, he could see the normally invisible poltergeist. It looks just like Marissa’s doll, only larger. It had two saucer-sized eyes, the black pupils punctuating the white surface. Its maw was in a perpetual expression of slack-jawed stupidity. It had large, bird-like feet and rubbery arms that ended in cartoon-like hands with just three fingers. A short stubby tail wagged behind it as it tore open cabinets and tossed their contents around like a toddler throwing a tantrum. Forks, spoons and knives leaped from their drawers and struck the opposite walls. “I’m going to wake up the girl,” said Jim-Bean. The huge glowing orange head turned to face Jim-Bean, the black pinpricks moving to focus on him. It started a slow, shambling gait after him like a gorilla, picking up speed. It shambled right through the bar, the drinking glasses above the bar shattering as it passed, sending shards of glass in every direction. Jim-Bean ran into Marissa’s room and over to her bed. “Wake up kid!” he shouted. The girl didn’t react. When Jim-Bean looked up the thing was at her doorway. Its features had shifted from benign stupidity to malevolence – a brow it didn’t have before furrowed over its vacant eyes, and it curled newly-formed lips over its huge teeth in rage. The thing grabbed hold of the door. Jim-Bean shook Marissa. “Wake up!” He ducked as the door, torn off its hinges, flew through the air. It smashed through Marissa’s bedroom window on the other side of the room. The orange thing smashed drawer and dolls aside in its fury as it stomped towards Jim-Bean. There was only one chance. Jim-Bean opened a link between his mind and the girl’s… And then everything got real quiet. [/QUOTE]
