I'M GONNA MARRY THE NIGHT...RAY *OONTZ OONTZ OONTZ*

Oww... that hurt. At least his left arm wasn't bleeding as much now. Cursing inwardly, he peeked from behind the half destroyed wall, only to confirm those creatures were looking for him.

One... three... four. Four of them. And they were between him and what seemed like a path into the forest. He frowned deeply. There was no cover on the way, and the creatures would surely find him as soon as he moved from there.

Tch... where's Leo when I need him?!

He had no other choice. If this worked, he would confuse them and leave them behind... but he had to be quick. They reacted strongly to noise, didn't they? Well, he'd give them noise! His right hand went immediately to the hilt of his sword... He'd give them a good cut down if they managed to reach him.

He took a deep breath, ready to run and circle the old building. All other things in his mind were secondary.

Blood. Pain. Humpty Dumpty. Vincent. Leo. He could think of all that later. Right now he had work to do.

"Want a piece of me? Then come and get it!! I'LL TEACH YOU NOT TO MESS WITH ELLIOT NIGHTRAY!!!!"





*** Next morning...



[There's a wounded Elliot unconcious in a sunny patch in the forest, reason why he's not dead again. Feel free to poke him.]

[Moves his right arm to cover the sun from his eyes, still laying down.]

You make it sound like it's common.

[princesszero]

[Peeking at him from above xD]

It has happened to others. I don't see why else he would mark you.

[headstarting.livejournal.com]

[Marked.

I'm not an illegal contractor!

...so Death had marked him. That only makes his frown deepen, even when hiding under his arm.]

[princesszero]

Even with that mark, you should be able to do just fine here.

[headstarting.livejournal.com]

That was helpful.

[And he's not being sarcastic. Not much. At least, not aimed at her.]

[princesszero]

You better get up and moving.

[headstarting.livejournal.com]

[Moves his arm, half covering his eyes from the sun to look at her.]

Those things haven't come close since the sun went up.

[princesszero]

Not yet, but they will soon.

First it will be the bats and the rats, since they can move in daylight. You smell tasty enough.

[headstarting.livejournal.com]

[Grunts, but tries to sit. His body hurts a lot more since he tried to slice Death.]

I smell like blood and dirt, what's tasty about that.

[princesszero]

Blood drinking species would find you quite tasty.

[headstarting.livejournal.com]

[Oww... manages to stand up, looks for his sword. That sword has priority.]

I can deal with bats and rats. [Ah, there. It takes him a lot of effort taking his sword again, but he doesn't make a sound.] Since you seem to be good informed, what are those creatures?

[princesszero]

[She just keeps on finding the stubborn idiots, doesn't she? XD]

You can deal with normal bats and rats. And in that state, "deal" means "feed".

The others are undead ones.

Suzaku is his own category. At least Elly is not suicidal xD

[headstarting.livejournal.com]

Undead.

You got to be kidding.

[princesszero]

I'm very serious. You can always go back into the Dark City and give it a test, if you don't believe me.

[headstarting.livejournal.com]

I cut down at least six of them on my way here. It's just... agh! [Scratches head, leans on a tree.] Dead people coming back all the time, then dead people not really dying, it's all nonsense!

[princesszero]

[She chuckles... Before, lol, dying and coming back to life lol.]

Things don't always work like they are supposed to. That's normal.
