Assassins' Bureau Cole quickly snatched the paper from Flints hands and began to examine it. A small smile slowly spread across his face.
"Sure. We haven't killed anything in a while. Just sort of...injured. Anyway, it's not like we /need/ the money but, you know, it may come in handy sometime. But the high bounty doesn't exactly mean strength, they could just be good at hiding?" He smirked again before lowering the paper.
"What do you plan to do about the werecat? Are you just going to leave her at the house?" Flint shrugged.
"she shouldn't be able to move at all for a while. But I'd rather not dwell on it. If she gets lose then she's stuck as a cat forever.. Or until she meets some person as good at potion mixing as me. Which is unlikely."
He shrugged.
"Lets go."
He said as he stood and raced to the entrance/exit fo the AB. Cole shrugged and quickly followed Flint. He turned back and looked at the tree he was in and then up at the moon. It shone through the tree branches an onto the ground. He pushed it aside and turned back to face foreword.
"Soo...where should we start looking? We don't know anything about this person so....We should probably ask around." "Naturally," Said Flint as he neared the gate.
"Do you want to start in the city? Castle Town to be exact. We can get some info and enjoy our selves at the same time...."
He laughed as he remembered the last time he had gone to Castle Town.
It wasn't very pretty, well... It was for him... Tasty too. Cole came up next to Flint. "Sure, that would probably be our best bet right now. And yeah, Castle Town is full of...well, you know." He smirked as he came to the exit. ((~Cole and Flint: Exit to Hyrule Castle Town~)) Aurora awoke to the searing pain upon her neck.
She went to touch it with her hands but found that she could not.
Opening her eyes, she looked down.
She gave a small yelp as she realized that she was in her cat form.
Thankfully, it was her true from.
The metal was still tight around her neck, but it was oddly loose around her wrists.
The thoughts that came quickly soon stopped as she looked over, the red apple gleaming slightly upon the wood.
Her memories flooded back, tears welled in her eyes, and a sadness filled her heart.
"W-wha....." she mumbled, unable to form a sentence.
However, a sentence was un-needed. She knew fairly well what it was, what it meant.
Her hate for this monster wasn't for nothing, this simply confirmed it.
It just made everything a little bit.....worse.
Anger and pain gripped her as her fangs grew silver and long.
The spell repeated itself over and over until she bit hte metal that held her to the wall and the metal that held her paws close to her chest.
The chains broke and feel, her wrist bands colliding with the wood as they slipped from her.
She didn't bother with the neck hold, it would take too much time.
Her fangs became normal once more as she gingerly picked the apple up from its stem.
She didn't know why, or maybe she did, but it wasn't truly her choice.
It was an impulse, one she couldn't ignore.
She lept from the table, tears in her eyes, and headed for the open window.
Bouncing from item to item, she managed to leap through, landing on the soft earth.
The cool night wind blew through her fur.
'It'll be morning soon,' she thought.
She slowly began to walk, not knowing where to go, just fallowing the edge of the walkway.

Hyrule Castle Town Celest was startled by Elliot's sudden reaction, but she quickly looked over to were he was pointing. When she saw the flier, she wasn't sure if she should be relieved, or disapointed. She got up to take a closer look at the paper. She scanned it once, then again before she actually spoke.
"So....they're the heads of...the Assassins' Bureau? I've never heard of it. Well, I guess that's obvious. It doesn't say much about it...." Elliot nodded.
"I've actually never heard of it up till now, but I guess we should head there after we eat."
he said. Celest looked at the flier again. "But...it doesn't say were it is. It just says 'If interested, contact Flint or Cole, if you can find them'. How are we suppossed to find it? Besides...I don't know if walking right into a place full of assassins is such a great idea..." Kalo passed by Elliot's table nonchalantly.
He had just finished a meal of roast boar,
and was fairly full.
As he was walking by, he heard A.B. and where.
He looked at them, and then turned and said,
"Hey! I know where the Assassin's Bureau is!
A creepy old zombie dragged me there once!" Luna struggled to sit up, her attention upon the flier.
'Cole.....,' She grimaced and sat back agian.
She massaged her arm gently.
'I'll let them decide what to do... ' She thought. Celest turned around and looked at the Kokiri behind her. "Really? Do you know how to get there still?" She looked over to Elliot for a moment before turning back to Kalo. "Uh... yeah, I think so." Kalo said, nodding rather vigorously.
Elliot turned his head and stared off into the distance.
The kid was already annoying him with his immaturity and peppiness.
"It's in the woods, a little ways off of town.
I can show you there!"
He beamed at the three. Celest smiled back at Kalo but felt worry well up inside her. She didn't really want Kalo to know why she was worried, so she spoke to Elliot through thoughts. 'Elliot? Do you think it's such a good idea to just walk in there? I don't know what it's like, but...if Cole has told anyone about me....Well, we should at least come up with a plan first.' Luna jerked 'awake' when she heard what this Kokiri was saying.
It shocked her to the extent of fear.
"Why were you there?" she asked, it seemed to be a reasonable question to her.
'What if, as imposible as it may seem, he's an assassin or atleast working for them. '
"I told you, a creepy zombie guy brought me there!"
Kalo said, rather annoyed. He sighed.
"Some people just don't listen..." Elliot thought to Luna and Celest,
He seems harmless enough. And we don't really need a plan.
We can alert the guards. They may be weak, but they're reliable in groups and can take out two men, even when they have skills like Flint and Cole do.

'Hmm, well...I guess it's worth a try. It would help if we knew anything at all about it...'
"Can you tell us anything about it? Umm, like...I don't know. Anything?" Celest wasn't sure what to expect, but she wanted to know as much about it as she could so she wouldn't be surprised. It wouldn't be good to be surprised in a situation as dangerous as they were going into. Luna chocked down a resonce and just paid attention.
She didn't seem to believe that the city gaurds could take down two assassins at such a high level of training.
'Not my Cole.... And not by a few gaurds.'
"Kreepy zombies....?" She muttered to herself. "Yeah! He saved me from a poe, but then turned all wierd and ***** and stuff!"
Kalo heard his stomach growl loudly.
"I can show you there, but can I have some food?" Luna looked to where he had walked from.
A waiter was lifting up a dirty plate and was cleaning a table.
she looked back to Kalo and studied his lips.
She tried to catch even a hint of his breath, but only succeeded in almost choking on a lung full of air.
she looked back at the tale she presumed he had been sitting at and then back at him once more.
Her face was confused as she pointed to the table.
"Didn't you just eat? and from what it looks like, I'd have to guess a roasted boar.... How can you be even remotely hungry?" She questioned. Cole walked into the city quite casually. He looked about the busy streets taking note of the people who were there. He put his hands in his pockets and turned his head to see if Flint had followed. Flint cocked his head to the side as Cole looked behind him.
"Who are you looking for?" He asked quizzically.
"Yes, but I'm even more hungry!"
Kalo yelled, exasperated.
"Whatever. If food is what he wants, he'll get it."
He pulled a waiter over, and told him Kalo's order.
Cole turned and looked at Flint with an unamused look on his face.
"Haha." He said in a monotone voice.
"Alright then...so, what should we do first? Ask around or...whatever else you wanted to do." He raised one eyebrow in a questioning look for no real reason in particular. Celest shrugged and looked over at the empty chair on the other side of the table. "I guess you can sit down then.” Flint smiled gently.
He turned and started walking down the path, his cloak spraying out behind him.
"Well,... I doubt we'll find them here. But some info is always nice."
He pulled out the paper once more and poked the pcture.
"If its such a high bounty, then the must be hard to find. Just like you said Cole...."
He looked back at him.
"Should we start in the bars?" He asked. Luna pulled the chair out gently, making room for Kalo.
"I hope you enjoy your fill...." she said simply. Cole matched Flint's pace so he could walk next to him.
"Yeah, I guess the bars are as good a place as any. Except that we'll probably find some drunks there. They won't be great to talk to but...heh, well..I guess if they get too bad..." Cole smirked and laughed quietly to himself.

The waiter came back rather quickly, laying down the plate
of steaming Green Gill, and roast boar leg.
He ravenously ate the food, and said with a mouthful,
"Well, first you have to kind of walk through the city..."
He proceeded to tell the directions of the A.B. Celest watched Kalo eat, almost a little afraid. The way he ate made it look like he hadn't eaten in weeks. She then thought of herself and how she had gone quite some time without eating. But had forgotten about that most of the time.
When he was finally finished, she nodded. "Thanks." Luna stared at Kalo for a moment before taking a few bites of her food.
she cleaned her plate quickly enough. She wiped her hands and face clean of any food and neatly folded the napkin. Flint shrugged.
"Personally I like drunks. They don't have any reasons to not talk, and if there are they have already forgotten it. I really do love talking to them... They're easy to drink from as well...."
He stretched his hand out straight in front of his face.
"Speaking of drinking.... its about time again. This trip could serve me well in many ways." He muttered aloud. Elliot watched as Kalo finished his meal.
Kalo yawned, said thanks, and ran abruptly away.
Elliot sighed, and left a silver ruppee on the table.
The waiter glanced at the ruppee, and then back at Elliot.
"Unless that ruppee is going to magically sprout two more,
I hope you have more money. That kid didn't exactly eat the cheapest of meals."
Elliot threw the waiter a 'you have got to be kidding' look,
but tossed two more silver ruppees onto the table.
"Whatever..."
Money really didn't mean anything to Elliot,
because when you lived as long as he had and have the ability to read people's mind, let's just say the stocks work in your favor. Celest stood up to follow Elliot. "So...to the Bureau I suppose then?" Cole continued to walk. "Yeah, but...." He began, but was cut of. He had been looking in the windows of various shops and such when he spotted Luna. He stared for a moment and noticed Celest and Elliot heading for the door. He cursed under his breath and grabbed Flint's shoulders.
"It's them..../they're/ here. We shouldn't let them see us. I'd rather not deal with them right now." He hissed in Flint's ear. Elliot walked out of the shop,
walking easily. He wasn't being cautious because
they were going to walk straight into the hands
or assassins, exactly what their original plan had been.
Oh well, at least this time it makes sense to.
He didn't sense Cole because there were so many buzzes in his ears from other peoples thoughts that he had to tune it out

Luna looked out into the crowd of people but saw nothing, nothing that grabbed her eye.
She stood and fallowed the only people she knew.
For now it was her only connection to the world, she doubted that her heart or mind would allow anyone else to even get to her like normal. Flint rolled his eyes slightly and bounded down a small alley-way.
'Fallow me,' He thought to Cole.
His ears were still ringing from what Cole had said, but he held back his lecture until a better time.
'Idiot, he knows I have just as good hearing as his...' He thought as he rubbed his ears.
His long cloak sprayed out from behind him as he rushed through the darkness.
The stone was slick with god-knows-what, and random beings dotted the walkway and walls.
He was heading down the straight area when another, although quite smaller in size, alley-way rushed past him.
He slowed down and turned, leaping into the even darker shadows. Celest took one last look behind her as they exited the City. According to Kalo, the Bureau was somewhere in the forest near the Border. It wasn't /too/ far, but it would take a while to get there anyway. Cole followed along behind Flint. He kept his eyes on the road in front of him. He moved quickly, his feet pounding the streets.
He finally slowed and stopped. "I think this is fine. Unless they saw us, which I don't think they did, they probably wouldn't come down here." He stopped and looked around the dark, dirty ally they were in. "I don't know why anyone would come down here." He added as he lifted his foot up from a puddle of some unknown substance. ((~Celest, Luna, and Elliot, Exit to Assassins’ Bureau~))

Hyrule Castle Town "To get in there," He said as he pointed to the large wooden door.
A small sign hung next to it that read 'Bar'.
"A bit odd,... but as good of a place as any.' He shrugged as he walked forward.
A young lady was leaning up against the damp wall a few feet away from the bar entrance.
She stood up as they neared, her hand reaching for the door's handle.
"Why hello boys...." she smiled, winking as she pulled the door open.
Flint's smile grew as he brushed away some of his hair that had fallen into his face.
"Why thank you ma'am," He replied as he walked into the bar, a smile still beaming.
"Like I said," he muttered to Cole, "I do lo-ve bars." Cole glanced at the lady standing by the doorway. "Sure...we couldn't have come here a few days ago...." He muttered quietly as he walked into the bar, completely ignoring the lady.
He stood in the entrance for a moment and scanned the place, looking for the best spot to sit. He eyes a few empty seats by the counter before making his way over to them. Flint sat down with a yawn, the wooden chair biting into his back.
"Food or information first?" He asked Cole, ignoring his comment.
He kept telling himself it wasn't his place to be.
They had to have /some/ limits. Cole walked over to one of the stools and sat down, oblivious to the girl approaching him from behind.
"Well....I don't know. Maybe we could...." He stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. The girl behind him leaned down next to his ear and whispered. "It's been a long time....Cole."
Cole recognized the voice and cringed a little. He spun around slowly to face her. She smiled at him and sat down at the stool next to him.
"I thought you wouldn't come back, I missed you."
Cole turned back to face the counter and put his elbows on it and leaned against his hands. He refused to meet her gaze.
"Leave me alone." He muttered.
"Ohh, what's the matter?" Her eyes averted from his face to the wound on his shoulder. She gasped loudly and ran over to the other side of him to get a closer look. "What happened? This looks nasty..."
Cole shot his hand back into her stomach and pushed her back. He glared at her as he spoke. "I said leave me alone, okay? I don't want to see you. I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to you around me. I don't /like/ you, okay? So would you just quit it?"
Her face looked hurt at first, but then quickly turned to anger. "Well fine! There are plenty of other men in this bar who would die to have me! I don't need you!"
"And I sure as hell don't need you." He retorted.
"You.....Well, fine. Maybe your friend over here would like a shoulder massage then?" She said as she walked over behind Flint. She placed her hands on his shoulders and smiled. She was obviously trying to get back at Cole, who obviously didn't care. Flint twitched a bit as her hands rested on his shoulders.
His face flushed quickly as he brushed her hands away.
His face grew pale as normal as he shruged.
"I'm sorry, I'll have to pass. I'm not getting into any kind of Cole's business."
He paused and smiled.
"Although, if you'd like.... " He started, a fang poking from his smile.
"The blood bank might be a little low and I can promise it will be the ..... unique-st time of your ...short... life..." Cole waved his hand to the side. "No no, by all means, go ahead. She's not any of my business anymore."
He lifted his hand up to call the bartender over to him. "Bartender, get me a glass of ice water tonight. I don't feel like anything else at the moment..."
The girl came around next to Flint and sat down. She stared at him, a little confused yet still provoked. "Well, I'm not really sure what you mean, but...it sounds interesting." She smiled flirtatiously. "I'm up for anything."
Cole laughed once to himself at her last sentence. "Sure you are..." He said quietly.

Assassins' Bureau Elliot walked to the front gate of the A.B.
He had no plan, but at least he was expecting
the two. He waited for the others before proceeding. Before Celest walked through the entrance of the Bureau, she pulled the hood over her head so only her mouth was visible. She walked into the building and the guard at the desk eyes them.
"You gonna sign in?" He asked, his voice gruff. Elliot appeared in a blur behind the man.
He aimed a swift karate chop at the guard's neck,
and twisted his foot as to sweep him off his feet. The guard fell to the ground with a 'thud'. He wasn't expecting an attack, and especially not such a fast one. He quickly recovered, however, and rolled backwards. There wasn't much room behind the desk, however, so he couldn't go very far.
He quickly got to his feet and drew his sword and pointed it at Elliot.
"Look, kid, this is just a job and I'd rather not fight you. But I will if I have to." "Well, can we go through then?"
Elliot retorted.
"I'd rather not kill you."
He threw his fists up,
and prepared for another attack. Luna had been creeping past the group while all this had been going on.
She was coming closer to the counter, and she could almost touch the back of the guard.
'Thank God that Elliot has his attention. Other wise this probably wouldn't work.' She thought to herself, her staff clenched in her hands tightly.
'Elliot. Do you think you could keep his attention without letting him move? I can hit his head pretty hard from here. He would pass out and maybe not even remember us.' She thought as she stared at Elliot intently, hoping that he would hear her thoughts. "Kay." Elliot thought back.
He round-housed-kicked at the guard's head,
trying to throw him off. The guard quickly ducked sideways under Elliot's attack. He shot his hand up to knock it into Elliot's foot, trying to throw him off balance.
"I can't let you pass, unless you sign in. I have orders and those are the rules."
Luna grimaced as she pulled her staff up high and brought it back down with tremendous strength.
Her staff smacked him hard at the back of his head, his body shuddering as it tensed.
His muscles relaxed, his body crumpling to the floor.
Luna ran up, checking to see if his pulse was still normal.
she gave a sigh of relief as she stood and pulled the guard up against the back wall.
"I guess he'll be fine... With a hit like that he shouldn't remember anything,"
She stated.
"It doesn't make a bit of difference. If we take back Aurora, they'll probably figure out that we've been here." Elliot said, looking
down at the crumpled guard.
Elliot began to move inwards, towards the bureau's center. Celest cautiously came up behind Elliot. She peaked he head out of the door slowly. There was a guard on either side of the door, but, luckily, neither of them were looking, so she pulled her head back in quickly.
"There are two more guards outside the door. What should we do?" She said in a hushed tone. Elliot searched the ground, trying to
find two decent size stones.
Only finding one on the path, he figured
he could resort to magic.
Elliot walked up to the door and peaked through it,
just as Celest had. The guards were standing in an awkward
form, so he couldn't hit them with fire at the same time.
As he backed up, he muttered,
"Here goes nothing.."
Elliot formed a '0' with his fingers, and
kicked the door in. He raised his thumb up
to his finger hole, and blew, creating a virtual blowtorch
at the guard to the left.
Flames spewed out, their heat wave could be felt
from several feet away they were so intense. Celest backed up a few steps from the flames. She could feel the heat from were she was and she wasn't very fond of heat. The guard to the left was blind-sided by the attack. He was obviously not expecting this.
He fell to the ground to try to get away from the flames. The armor he wore had gotten heated almost to dangerous levels. He began to take off the arm piece but decided it would be best to get farther away from the flames first. He rolled away from the building quite a ways, still fiddling with his armor.
The guard to the right quickly looked to were Elliot had kicked the door in. He unsheathed his sword and pointed at Elliot.
"Hey!" He shouted as he came closer. He brought his sword up and swung down at Elliot's shoulder. Elliot side stepped the guard's blow and kneed him
in the stomach. The guard went down, and then soon up
in flames as Elliot used another blow torch. The kid fell to the ground as a stalfo knight knocked him out with
a swift blow. Elliot blacked out, the last thing he saw was Avery walking towards the group, an easy pace in his stride, his sword drawn.
Avery kicked the kid in the head again to make sure he was
out for now, which he was.
"Careless... Why didn't the masters expect this?"
Avery muttered, looking first to the charred guard near Elliot
and then to the one desperately trying to pry his burnt armor
off. The Stalfo made a move to help the living guard.
Avery noticed the other two.
"You are his friends? You'll best leave too, and don't try to play the hero because it just gets you squashed like your little friend. Is this the one Cole was complaining about? The one who ripped his shirt? Well, well. Maybe I won't have to pay rent after all."
A redead rose, and carried Elliot off with him.
Avery turned and walked away briskly as well. Celest put her hand over her mouth to stifle a gasp when Elliot fell. She wasn't expecting it, obviously. She stared at Avery for a moment. She wasn't quite sure what to do.
She remembered the reason they were there to begin with, Aurora. She side glanced out the door and then looked at Luna. She thought for a moment before running up next to Luna and whispering in her ear.
"Can you find Aurora? I'll go see if I can find Elliot and then....well, I guess we'll see what happens after that..." Avery sighed as he muttered to himself.
"Why won't these people learn?"
It wasn't even a question, Avery had said the phrase
many-a-time. The redead threw Elliot rather roughly into
one of the empty bunkers, and Avery took the key from
it as he walked by. Elliot lay motionless on the floor.
Avery set up several Stalfo sentries, and they paced the corridor.
Avery, meanwhile, appeared on top of the gate post.
He sat there with a bored expression, watching as Luna and Celest conversed.
He recognized the Sheikah symbol on the blond's neck,
and although he didn't personally have one, knew what
it meant. If only she knew some of the clan magic, how we can
appear and disappear at any time. Luna struggled slightly.
"Is that such a good idea? I mean... With your circumstances, I don't think we want you running around by yourself."
She did a quick scan of the ground, searching for any traces of Aurora. Aurora sighed slightly as she rounded a corner on the trails, the apple hanging by its stem in her mouth.
Tears welled in her eyes but she was unable to cry.
'Curse this form.... I can't do much in it at all... Not without using my magic.' She thought with a curse.
The smell of others reached her on the wind and hope tickled at her heart.
'Celest! Luna! Even Elliot... But.. there are others?' She tumbled it over in her mind.
'What are the others.. I don't know them.. And It isn't Cole or Flint.... Perhaps other Assassins?' Celest, also, went to look around. Other than the guards, one dead, one unconscious, and one preoccupied by his charcoaled arm, she didn't see anyone.
She looked back at Luna and put her hand on the priestess' shoulder.
"I'll be fine. I don't think I've gotten a chance to fully prove myself yet. But I can fight. I was taught well by my mother, though she wasn't able to teach me everything. Elliot has helped me plenty of times in the past, I think now it's time I returned the favor." Avery smirked.
"Little girl will kill herself." Avery said,
his dark eyes amused.

Hyrule Castle Town Flint's smile widened.
"Alrighty then... I guess you won't mind if-"
He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close.
He leaned toward her, his breath warm against her neck.
To anyone else it looked like a simple couple in a bar, the male simply showing his affection.
Its how Flint got all his meals. Guys were harder so he always picked the females.
His mouth opened, his fangs gleaming as he leaned even closer.
The tips brushed against her skin lightly, blood softly oozing from the thin cut. Cole glanced over at Flint and smirked a little. This girl was getting what she deserved in his mind, and Flint was getting his meal.
The waiter came bringing a glass of ice water and placed it in front of Cole. Cole nodded to the man and grabbed the glass.
The girl was totally oblivious to what was going on. She smiled, thinking that Flint was being flirty with her.
She wrapped one arm around his shoulder and put the other on the side of his face.
"Ohhh, you're a feisty one, aren't you?" "As ever," Flint snickered as he bit deep into her artery.
Fresh, iron-filled blood swept into his mouth.
Pleasure overwhelmed him as he took his feast, his eyes closed but glazed.
He wrapped his arm around her back and took his fill.
He pulled himself away, not wanting to kill someone who might give him another meal later.
He reached up and placed his thumb against her open wound.
Blood continued to trickle down past his hand.
He quickly pulled back his hand and cut his thumb.
Black oozed from the open flesh with searing heat.
He pressed his thumb once more to her wound, his blood healing it shut.
He pulled back again, not wanting to turn her.
"Now, be a good dear and have some meat," He said as he ordered her a small steak that dripped of juicy smells and oils. "You'll need to replace the iron."
He smiled as he gently placed the meal closer to her. The girl almost squealed in protest as Flint cut deeper into her flesh, but she held herself back.
Once he let her go, she straightened up again and but her hand to her neck.
"Well....okay....."
She glanced over at the steak Flint had just ordered and, taking it as simply a kind gesture, smiled.
"You're a nice one, aren't ya? Oh, you're so much better than the other boys around here."
Cole glared over to the side at her.
"You couldn't have drained it all, could you?" He muttered quietly as he took another drink of water. "But if I did that," He said with a smile to Cole, "then I wouldn't be able to get another meal, now would I?"
He patted his shoulder gently.
"but we came here for info, and we need to get it before we leave."
He looked to the girl and smiled gently.
"Why don't you stay here? We'll be right back. I promise."
He stood and waited for Cole.
As he waited her looked around the relatively large room.
'So many drunks, so little time,' he thought to himself. Cole took one last large drink of his water before setting the glass down on the counter. He stood and paced over to Flint.
"Well...I just remembered...." He looked down at his bare arm and back as he spoke. "I left my cloak at the Bureau. It should be dry by now, and I don't want it to rain on it again while it's hanging outside. So....you have fun with your 'information', I'm going to go back and get it. I'll probably be....back later I guess. If not, you know where to find me. So...." He glanced over to the girl who was patiently waiting while munching on her meat. "...have fun."
He patted Flint on the shoulder and walked out the door quickly. He turned and waited for the door to shut behind him. Once it was, he turned and pointed his finger down his throat and gagged. He then rolled his eyes and quickly walked off. ((~Cole, Exit to Assassins’ Bureau~)) A dark shadow fell over the bar as a large grin fell upon Flint's face.
Screams came from a few drunks but were quickly silenced by the incrouching shadows.
"Please don't scream, it makes my job so much harder."
The drunk's mouths moved, their hands clawing at their faces in confusion.
"Well,..." He snickered, "If you insist..."
He drew his hands away from his sides slowly, a dark liquid oozing and dripping from the bottom of his arms.
The goo stuck to his sides and dripped to the floor, inching its way over to the tables.
"Spread,.... take your fill."
A man stumbled away as the dark ink inched forward and wrapped itself around his ankle.
He struggled as it sped up his leg and around his neck.
The rest was a blur as more inky legs reached out and 'took their fill'.
Flint glanced over at the girl, wondering what she would think.
It would benefit him if she became one like him.
"I can save your life,... bring you into a dynasty of great pleasures dear... You can be like me... But be warned. If you refuse, it shall be another place... Not so wonderful... that you will be heading for." The girl stared, wide-eyed at the scene that played out in front of her.
"What....what /are/ you?" She managed to stutter.
It was clear to her now that Flint wasn't 'just another guy', and she was actually scared now.
She swallowed hard before she managed to speak again. "I...I..you....um..." Words would not come to her, however.
