Oh no, god, how could that wretched little blue thing even think of taking her away? How could she?! The small creatures stared in jealousy at Seung and Aylana, mashing their faces together in seething silence. Their eyes locked on Aylana possessively, and the closer Seung got to her, the angrier they became.
Soon, it was far too much for them to contain, and the two creatures started crawling towards the pregnant woman, breath raspy against the floor. They completely disregarded everyone, save for the blue woman, and skittered past anyone in their way.
They were quickly on top of Aylana's ankles and looked up at her, faces merging to become one, infantile form.
"MOMMY!"

"That's exactly what Aylana would say!" Cerena protested, wringing her hands and slowly edging behind Arrien. Yeah, so maybe the one in the back always died first, but at this point she just wanted as much distance between herself and that thing as possible! "I mean -- what something pretending to be Aylana would say! Arri, I... She feels like... She does!"
Her hands began to flail everywhere as she tried to best explain coherently what she didn't even exactly understand. "The thingies! This house! She feels like that!"
She managed to stop babbling long enough to catch a glimpse of Seung approaching. "Seung, yes, stay -- like Arri said --" Cerena sidestepped to follow her friend's motions around the elder Fa'e, so as to better tend to the smaller girl. "--Are you okay? Hurt anywhere -- HOLY EXCREMENTTTT WHAT IS THAT THING."

Seung started to run to Aylana before Arrien got in the way. She didn't recognize the older Fa'e, but she wasn't scary looking and Seung hadn't learned the concept of not speaking to strangers yet. The toddler stepped back nervously when Arrien stepped between them.
Had she done something wrong? The toddler glanced from one face to the other, confused. Then those...things grabbed hold of Aylana. The toddler screeched and grabbed onto the closest person, Cerena. "Go away!" she yelled at them in Korean.

Aylana jaw dropped slightly as she couldn't believe she was hearing all of this. Lifting her fingers to rub at her temples she shakes her head "Look I'm not going to tell you to believe me as I know that won't work. But do you honestly think I would hurt a child knowing I'm pregnant with twins myself? It just doesn't make sense. Plus only fa'e as well as guardians can get back into this area as it restricted." she stops as she feels the creature in the corner move.
Turning she tries to move but it was already ontop of her. Gasping she tries to kick at it "Let me go!!!" unfolding her wings she uses them to keep herself balanced as she tries to get free from the creature.
Glancing at the others she turns to the group as she screams at them "Get Seung away from the creature. Don't let them get her no matter what." looking at the child she shakes her head as she flaps her wings still kicking at the creature attached to her ankles.

There were a few obvious logic flaws in Aylana's arguement- like, how did the SPIDER get back here if nothing else can get through?!- but Arrien didn't really have the time to point those out before they got their new batch of company.
Aylana'd said it, and Arrien would agree- Seung was the first priority. Not just because she was the littlest, but also because she was the only one who might have even a chance of knowing where the other kids are. Cerena seemed to have her covered for the moment, she thought, but she wasn't going to leave her alone in the most important task of looking after the mothfish. "Cere, come on!" Trying to herd her and Seung, the Jack-of-all-Trades attempted to put some distance between the trio and Fa'e with the creatures, holding her cell phone up to try and take stock of the area. She didn't really want to leave Aylana behind just on suspicion, but if the creature proved too much for her to handle, then maybe she and Cere could get Seung into the green bedroom and hole up until the coast was clear....

Surpressing her automatic urge to panic, Cerena tried to remind herself that she was a Mother and Mothers were invincible, and finally managed to stop shaking long enough to lean down and scoop Seung up into her arms.
She allowed herself to be herded back, eyes glued to the thing at Aylana's feet, and suddenly wished desperately she knew where Lethe was.
--But, she had to concentrate on Seung, and calming her down before the toddler became too distressed. "It's.. It's just a game. Like a haunted house. A nightmare, that's all. We'll wake up soon, okay? I promise." She realized that these were nothing but futile, empty promises, but hoped Seung would not realize this herself.

"MOMMY STOP IT YOU'RE HURTING US!" they shrieked, completely oblivious of the people standing around in terror. As Lana kicked at each of the baby-like creatures, she felt a painful twinge in her stomach. After each kick, she'd feel the pain, and the creatures would cry out in disgust and fright.
How could Mommy do this to them?
Aylana's mind flashed images of her unborn children, which merged with her vision of the horrors before her. Eventually, after several shutters, they almost resembled what Lana thought her twins would look like. Each shriek pulsed through her brain.
"MOMMY? MOMMY, DON'T YOU LOVE US?"

"A game?" Seung buried her face into Cere's face. She didn't care right now that she didn't know the woman. Cere was older and she was taking Seung away from the scary kids. "Not fun!" she wailed miserably. As the "twins" screamed, Seung started bawling into Cere's shoulder.

The moment the images appeared in Aylana's mind she froze as she felt the pain soon after. Covering her stomach she places as she looks down at the creature around her legs. She couldn't breathe right nor was she thinking straight.
Closing her eyes she swallows the bile that was coming up as she attempts to clear her mind. This wasn't real, none of her surrounding were real. She had to keep telling herself this or she lose it completely. Opening her eyes slowly she licks her dry lips "I won't hurt you I promise, we just need to find the other kids so you have someone to play with. Can you help us and mommy will be careful she doesn't hurt you again." she was trembling out of fear and pain. She didn't want to hurt them again, yet she knew she couldn't allow this to happen.

"MOMMY."
"MOMMY, DADDY NEEDS HELP."
"DADDY NEEDS YOUR HELP, MOMMY."
"DADDY IS THIS WAY."
"COME WITH US MOMMY."
The infantile creatures started to stretch, to dig their bodies into the floor to draw the older woman into another bedroom. The Blue Room, to be exact, where Daddy supposedly lay. Their screeching kept anyone else at bay, but thankfully they left everyone else alone. The Valkyrie, the Jack-of-All-Trades and Seung meant nothing to them.
Dragging, dragging her into the room, where whimpering sounds emerged.
"COME ON MOMMY."
"PLEASE MOMMY."

Watching the scene unfold, Arrien hesitated. At this moment in time, Aylana wasn't screaming for help, or looking threatened, or even anything slightly of that nature. What was she supposed to do? Aylana seemed.. sympathetic, towards these weird little creatures. But Arrien sure as hell wasn't going to follow, not without knowing what was happening and what they- and, for all she knew, Aylana- were.
She didn't know the Fae, but it didn't look like she was asking for help. Unless she said something to ask for Arrien's assistance, she'd let well enough alone and focus her energies in looking after Seung and searching for the kids.

Stepping out of the blue room, she scans the hallway carefully. She was searching for a easy mind to feed off of. Holding her hand out a orb of light forms hovering slightly in her hand. Seeing no one was in the hallway she clicks her tongue before looking down at the shadow creatures "We'll find something my pet. Just give it time...we have all night to play." glancing down one side of the hall then the other she scans outwards trying to find the nearest person.
The shadows seem to giggle as they hover in a circle around her. They look like little kids that had been swallowed by the darkness. They kept close to her, yet were still eager to go explore and find souls to torture.

Faint noises of footsteps could be heard from the stairway, as though someone (or someones) were just now taking their leave towards the Inner Hallways.
