The Dark Carnival

Jace looked at Al and said, "You have terrorised me and everyone in this carnival enough. You have to die."
Al just laughed, a hollow sickening laugh seconds before he hit Jace with the tendrils on his right side, sending him flying through the air to land on the ground at least ten feet away.

Jace slowly got to his feet as soon as he landed and coughed, a wracking, painful cough and knew that there was something wrong with him, badly wrong. He got to his feet and picking up a handful of darts, threw them with as much for as he could manage, one dart hitting Al in one of his eyes.

Al began screaming out in pain, a wretched, unholy scream and hit Jace again, sending him sliding across the ground and straight into one of the booths with a crash.
 
I wasn't ignoring you Maniac, it is just that I had something else on my mind....sorry about that. What is it that you needed to know.
 
OOC: Sorry Maniac...we just assumed you would jump in..In fact I just set Cordillia up so that you could do just that while the two guys are in a fight.

I wont post again until you do...I am hoping you can streatch this thread some. I really like it.
 
Ok sorry.Thanx.Well strech this thing out for a while how about that.I have to to get re acuainted with it.

IC:


What useless rambling they do.It was better for me to be the right hand of the devil.I crept up behind the young woman "Cordillia," i hissed when I recignized.She had always been mean to me,time for payback.My new strength would help me a great deal.I decided to pretend to be a good guy for a while,"Cordillia help," I uttered pretending to be scared....
 
Cordillia's attention was pulled away from Jace and the foul thing he was fighting just before it hit him so she did not see him go down.

Her eyes flew wide as she recognized the owner of the voice-Derek Rogers. He was not a popular boy and had, on occasion, asked her out but she had steadily refused. She was Jace's girl and everyone in town knew that.

He looked hurt and scared and right now anyone who was 'normal' was a welcome sight so she ran over to him and put her arm about his waist.

"Derek," She said,"Dont tell me you got caught up in this too. Come on, I will help you to the tree and you can lean against it. I really have to help Jace-I am afraid he might get hurt or even killed."
 
Jace got slowly to his feet, getting a huge amount of pain as he rose. He then started coughing and looked down on the ground, noticing for the first time the blood.
"Oh shit, that isn't good," he said as he looked at Al who walked steadily closer.

Al then raised the tendrils on its left but before it could strike at Jace he rolled over the top of the booth. The tendrils smashed the front of the booth into pieces seconds before the creature grabbed Jace off the ground and held him up off the ground, squeezing him which caused Jace to scream out in pain.

Al looked at Jace with a smile, "Now, you die."
 
Derek:

She actually thought I was hurt.I played along with it."That thing is not the main evil in the carnival," I told her as she turned to watch jace."There is a power worse," I said having to conceal a smile.I fell the the ground pretending to be hurt.Boy was she in for a surprise....
 
"Worse?," She felt herself shake in fear,"No, Derek. What could be worse than that THING over there."

As she pointed to it she saw Jace go down and she cried out. He was hurt and badly. Forgetting her fear, she scrambled to her feet and went to run around Derek to get to Jace.
 
Derek:


"You'd be suprised,"I called to her.I started to laugh under my breath.Wait till she meets master."Get him out of there,hes no match for it," I called.I got up to run over to lend a hand.Of course the creature knows Im on his side so its all alight."Need a hand,"I asked her as I came up beside her....
 
Cordillia screamed as she saw Jace bleeding from his mouth and hanging from the thing's tendrils.

"Help me distract him, Derik," She cried as she picked up one of the darts and ran towards the thing, jumping on it and shoving one of the darts in the uninjured eye and yelling for it to let Jace go.

The thing reared up in pain and dropped Jace to the ground, its tenticals slashing around blindly in an effort to knock her off. Cordillia held on until her hands finally slip and she drops to the ground crying in pain from a twisted ankle.

Ducking the flailing monster, she runs to Jace's side and kneels down by him. Putting her hands on his chest she realizes by his shriek of pain that his ribs are either bruised or broken.

"Jace, baby," She sobbed,"Come on, we have to get going. Derek says there is something worse here and I dont want to meet it."
 
Derek:



I Helped Jace to his feet."Lets get out of here," I told them and fakely limped towards the way I came in.Im gonna take them right to master...
 
Jace was dimly aware of the two people helping him and said, "I don't think that I am going to last the day. I am too banged up, I did a really stupid thing, didn't I?"
 
Cordillia nodded, tears in her eyes.
"Yeah, baby, you did a real stupid thing. But we are going to get you home and I am going to take real good care of you until you are all better, I promise."

She kissed him gently on the lips and slipped his arms around her shoulders to aide him in walking. Slowly, due to the injuries Jace had sustained, they walked after Derek.
 
Derek:



I grimaced when she kissed him.God I hate her.Him.The whole goddamn world.But at one time I thought I was in love with her.I was wrong.She was nothing but Jaces Slut.
"Try to stay awake," I told jace.I wanted him to see the master and what He was gonna do to her,maybe let me have a go at her.I flashed a fake smile at them....
 
Cordillia never failed to make Jace feel good. All that he had to be was next to her and he felt well and safe even though he knew that he wasn't and wouldn't be unless he got some medical attention and quick. He looked at her and said, "We are going to get out of this and when I am well I will take you somewhere to make up for this nightmare."
 
Squeezing him gently so as not to aggrivate his injuries, Cordillia smiled up at him.

"Tell you what. Next time I will simply take you up on the necking part of the date at the beginning and we can avoid all of this."

Looking ahead at Derek, she knew she would never enter a carnival again. Wondering where, exactly Derek was taking them, she called out to him.

"How much longer until we get to some help?," She asked him,"We need to head to the carport so I can get Jace to a hospital."
 
Derek:



I smiled at her,"Not long," I said. Soon you could feel the overwelming presence of the master.Cordillia and Jace didnt notice it.I stopped to take it in."Not much farther,"I told them.Soon,payback...
 
Cordillia caught Jace as he stumbled and looked at Derek again-a puzzled expression on her face.

"Derek," She said,"This isnt the way to the car lot. Not to be pushy or anything but I have to get Jace to the hospital. We need to head to my car and then all three of us can get out of here."
 
Derek:

"I know a short cut," I informed her.They blindly followed me without knowing I was leading them to there deaths.I stopped them right outside masters doors."Wait,Ill see if its clear," I said to them.I went in,got out of earshot of them and said "Master,there here," "Good," His voice boomed....
 
As they walked along Jace could feel that there was something terribly wrong with the way that they were going and said, "No, we can't go that- there is something not quite right here."
 
Cordilla stopped and looked at Jace. She nodded and helped him manuver around a bench.
"I think the car lot is this way," She said not questioning why they were leaving Derek. Jace had had a dose of whatever was in this place and she would trust him and his feelings.
 
Jace raised his arm slowly, wincing in pain when he did and said, "The carpark is that way, I am sure of it. Now, lets get the hell out of here. If we can."
 
Cordilla nodded and headed where Jace pointed. All she knew was that she needed to get him out of here and now. As she followed where he pointed, she was relieved to find that she could see the car lot just ahead. She almost sobbed with relief.

They reached her car and she opened the passanger side and slid Jace in before sliding into the drivers side and putting the key in the ignition. "Hold on, baby," She said,"We are going to get you help."

OOC: What do you guys think? We can have the car NOT start or we can have them reach the hospital and get help, the carnival really doesnt exist and now they are followed by Derek in thier world. Or whatever you two can come up with.
 
Derek:


OOC: He will follow you and bring you back later.


IC:

"Im sorry master,but they got away," I said solemnly."Find them,bring th back," he screamed.

"I will my lord,I know right where they are going," I said with a smile...
