((I did all the Halloween posts in one. now we are caught up))
You are alone. The brisk windchill nips at your revealed skin, underneath your light jacket. You manuever through the darkened wood, under fallen tree limbs and over hard stones of grey. The lifeless thickets sting your flesh as you make a desperate attempt to pull them from your denim legs. The only sound that can be heard is the crunching of autumn leaves against your heavy footsteps. Your eyes transfixed ont he scene before you, narrowing. Trying to find a source of escape. The wind howls in your eardrums as you clamber up a small hill. The creaks and groans of the bark startles you as branches snap from their trees. A creak can be heard behind you as your breath escapes you in short gasps, you whip around, something is behind you. You try to find the voice to scream, but find yourself silent as you lunge foward, your pace quickening as you glance behind you. The ferns and thorns burn your face as you bolt through a dencer grouping of foliage. You finally emerge from the underbrush, tripping over your own feet and collapsing to the earthen soil. You groan and squint through the darkness, managing to see a small shack in the distance. In your need to find shelter from the menacing chill, you drag yourself to the near parished building and slam your palm against the door, your fingers to numb to form a fist. To your surprise, the door creaks open, no one anwsering the door. The strange creak is behind you, and you release a small yelp before throwing yourself into the shack, whipping the door shut with a loud bang. You inhale deeply and clench your eyes shut, when reopened, your numb hands drift across the chipped wood floor, as they begin to clamber up the wall, your legs following... you search for a lightswitch, none to be found.
Suddenly, the hearth exploded into a bright flame, enlighting the room with a dim glow. You jump at the site, and can feel your heart race in your chest. With the deep inhale that rang in your sides. You see a shape in the back room... you narrow your eyes and listen to your feet carry you across the worn floorboards, into the back room. You are surprised to see a ghostly figure cocking its head curiously at you. You jump at the site, and shudder as you hear the door reopen behind you, the creaks echoing about the room. The ghostly spirit...no doubt a jaaku, gave a menacing glare to whatever whas behind you before it drifted across the room. YOu finally turn around, and see the pupiless eyes of a living carcas.s, its flesh hanging off only in strands, bones revealed and cobwebs collected on its bony wings. An ebilia. It seemed to have a heavy smirk as it glared towards you.
You press yourself against the wall as the ebilia approaches, its skull nudging your head, taking in your scent. The spirit like jaaku disappeared up the stairs and you finally heard bickering from the floor above. "Your ebilia have no personality, they are just skin and bones!" the voice was followed by another, "At least they have bones, jaakus are just empty souls!" the voice argued. The two silenced and the thump of feet rang above. You looked to your left and saw a girl standing on the staircase. She decended, her long blue dress dragging gracefully across the room, her blonde hair collected at her shoulders in lovely locks. her deep blue eyes kind and curious...she looked at the ebilia..."Xespa! Your ebilia!" she called up the stairs in what sounded like an angry hiss. The ebilia directed its gaze to the girl and released what sounded like a low growl. The echo of more feet rang above, followed by a girl who much resembled the one before you. Her red hair covered by a hood of a dark fabric. Her skirts collected at her feet, but showed her ankles. Her center was revealed as her garments were in two pieces. "Ebilia. Calm." she stated, and to your surprise the ebilia recoiled, disappearing into the next room.
You were about to thank the strangers when the red hair's, the blonde called her Xespa, cold voice hushed you, "Foolish human... you dare enter our domain?" she hissed. The blonde narrowed her eyes, "Silence, sister. Your pet shouldnt have been trying to ambush this poor soul." she scolded. Xespa snorted, "Xoria, Jaakus are poor souls." she growled before positioning herself on a far chair. Her legs crossed. The blonde, named Xoria, sighed heavily, her gentle eyes becoming angered. "Silence, you have been plotting my downfall since we were infants!" she argued. Xespa stood, "I did no such thing!" Soon the sisters were caught in another quarrel. You debated whether to interrupt, but said nothing. It seemed the blonde, xoria finally acknowledge you once more, with one last glare at her sister.
