Viana wandered the forest for a while. She was thinking about hte blind old lady she had tea with earlier that day. Viana had changed her minds about humans. They werent all that bad if they cared so much about cats. As she was walking she saw a figure dashing through the trees. She pulled out her daggers ready to fight.

Hours later, Sakeri's emerald eyes peeked out beneath her lids. The stars still dancing on their endless midnight stage. She gazed almostly loving toward the sky, and with a sad sigh she sat up, running her small hand through her rich crimson locks.

Sakeri... a voice whispered. Sakeri snapped around, looking out onto the dark horizon but found no signs of life. Sakeri, Sakeri... It echoed hauntingly. The teen scrambled to her feet, hand clutched tightly around the curved dagger at her side. She looked around wildly, but found no sign of anything, save her and Amati, who was still sound asleep. Shaking her head, Sakeri gripped it almost desperately, wondering wether or not she'd gone completely crazy. No, It's only us.... the gods.

"Shut-up," she groaned, tossing her head left and right, but the voices persisted to no end.

We can help you, they whispered. Sakeri grunted falling to her knees as she tried to block them out. We know where she lives. She froze at those words, eyes wide with surprise. Doris was only image flashing in her mind. Her hands clenched at the thought of the woman's avarice and betrayl. All these years, Sakeri had wished to confront the hag, but she didn't know where she lived. That... woman had seemed so nice, always smiling always laughing. Who knew there was a lying, seething beast beneath that charming smile? The offer seemed so tempting, but was it real? Or, was she really going crazy?

"Sakeri?" Amati mumbled, half alseep. All at once the whispers halted, and Sakeri turned around to face her companion.

"Yeah?" she inquired innocently. He gazed at her through half-lidded eyes, confusion filling them to the brim.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" he moaned, struggled to get up. Sakeri only giggled as she folded her legs comfortably and began swaying from right to left.

"I'm not tired anymore," she answered sweetly. The canine nodded, still half-asleep.

"Did you want to start moving to the next tow-" he tried to inquire, but before he could finish the girl had hopped onto her feet and begun walking away.

"Let's go!" she chirped, happily.

Reese Slater made his way into the city. He stumbled about, balancing himself against buildings and finally came to an alley. He slumped against the wall and sat down, allowing his self-repair system take over. He would be good as new in a few minutes, but for now he would have to wait. As he glanced about, sensors indicated that most life forms were sleeping in the general area.
Sleep, he thought. I haven't needed that in quite some time.
Pondering this, he grew sad, knowing that those people took away something he could never replace... his humanity.

In a seemingly deserted ghost town on an elevated land, a tall dark figure skipped merrily through the main street. The very edge of his dark blue royal cape was draped with blood as it dragged along scattered limbs. It was a freezing cold night, with dark clouds hovering low, but the full moon oddly in plain sight, shining down on the smiling stranger. His soft humming was just about the only sound that could be heard around, with the air laying still.

As he walked past a broken down house, the humming came to a halt. Inside was a shivering little girl crouching behind a set of clothing in a closet, who repeatedly said the words "mommy" and "daddy" in a low volume. The stranger outside grinned with ecstasy, and walked through the door, where a man and a woman lay dead, slowly pacing through the empty hallway. His every step that cranked the wooden boards filled the little girl with anxiety, as she sat stiff, wrapping her tiny arms over her bent legs, and holding unto herself tightly. Her wide open eyes were shaking with sheer fear.

The man entered the room she was at with a ghostly pressence, and the temperature around him dropped to an even lower level. He walked slowly towards the closet. As he set aside the thick coats, he found the cute little girl, shivering with fear and cold, looking straight into his eyes. The man bent down, and spoke fondly, "Hello, pretty little babe. I'm your new buddy, Kin. We're going to be best friends..."

He smiled at her most innocently, but the little girl, frozen stiff, only shook her head with disregard. He came to stare at her, forcing the child's head to turn towards him. Her eyelids were forced to open, revealing her mahogany eyes. Kin's left eye saw deep into hers, and seeked into her very heart what she feared the most.

"Don'y worry, princess. Boogy man is here..." Kin's caped figure melted away into a greenish blob, with razor sharp teeth that opened wide, revealing its serpentine tough that lashed about like a sharp whip. The thing laughed menacingly and opened wide to devour her. A high pitched shriek filled the empty town and quickly died away.

Moments later, Kin came out of the broken down house, blood stained on his mouth. "That filled me for the night, and it sure was a lot of fun!" He declared, his innocent voice echoing through the lifeless place. As he continued to skip around merrily through the dead bodies on the street, a portal opened before him, revealing a pitch-black emptiness from the other side. As hollow as it seemed, a dark being came out. Kin tilted his head in utter curiosity as he watched what seemed to be a skeleton wearing a pitch black cloak, with a big scythe held by his hand. It wore a dark hood that overshadowed its face, as to not make it visible.

"It is time..." The ominous "man" raised his hand and pointed his scythe towards a buzzling city below, just ahead of the town. Kin blinked twice in facination of the flashing lights.

"Woooow!" He made a gullible cry, placing his hands over his cheks.

"Destroy them..." But Kin had already gone, on his way to the flashing lights. The hooded stranger gave an evil laugh as it retreated back into the portal. The god of fear, was pleased.
