[QUOTE="Graf, post: 3940291, member: 3087"] [b]Beth's and Biggs' Prelude[/b] [i]I'm going to go crazy now[/i] The scary dude was getting closer again. Beth's eyes are numbly locked on on the knife. Following it's every move. He'd cut her with it before, and she realizes that she's dimly aware that will probably happen again. [i]not crazy yet, if I was crazy I'd be less scared[/i] she thinks. She'd thought she was going crazy when he fed her that stuff and she started seeing all the little bugs, or when he told the security guard to go to sleep and he did, or when he started all the screaming and dancing hours ago, or when he cut her and poured the stuff in her wound. But she's not crazy yet. A crazy person couldn't be this scared. [i][color=red]Sit there, don't move[/color][/i][color=red][/color]The words are still curled around her forebrain. preventing movement. When she realized she could still make sounds, maybe an hour ago (five? who knew) she'd started screaming. But creepy guy had just looked at her like her father did when he was on the phone and didn't want to be disturbed. So she stopped. Creepy guy was working himself up into some sort of climax. She didn't really want to think about what that meant. Her eyes just followed the knife. A short guy with a sword ran out of the cloud of white insects surrounding them and stabbed the crazy guy. [i]OK. I'm going to go crazy now.[/i] ********************************* The haze had gotten so thick now it was like fighting in a fog bank. Biggs' had been dead on to nail the ghoul when the ghouls crazy dance pulled him out of the way of most of the swing. The ghoul spun and jabbed at him with a knife. Biggs' momentum had brought him in too close. He grunted as the knife slid into his gut. BIggs let out a scream and brought the sword down. But he was swinging at the haze now. The ghoul had tumbled away. Biggs felt a sharp pain in his leg. [i]There he is[/i] the hunter thought to himself. ********************************* Beth pushed her face up off the ground.
