IC:
I peek around a corner, out of boredom more than anything else. I see...
A skull-head. I've heard that they're really called faceless ratlizards, but they don't look like either. They just look like skinny humanoid things with leathery, muddy green skin, a long, tapering tail, and what seems to be a sheep's skull in place of a head. In comparison to other members of its species, it looks quite muscular. Nowhere near as muscle-bound as the WWE pig, by any stretch of the imagination, but still...
It hasn't seen me yet, so I slowly back away... Slowly... Sloooooowly...
"JESUS CHRIST, WHAT IS THAT THING?!" Screams the shrill voice that could come from only a sixteen-year-old girl in underwear too revealing to even be called underwear.
"Shut up, Maddie, shut up, shut up, shut up!" I whisper to her, she is now beside me. The skull-head turns around and somehow sees us even though it has no eyes, and presumably no brain. It bounds towards us like a bloodthirsty puppy dog. Ugh, I hate dogs. I really should run. And I do, pulling Maddie along with me.
I hear the heavy footsteps of the leap-running skull-head far too close behind me. Oh, God, it's catching up!
It's now running beside me, trying to snag a bite. My thought process is going something like:
OHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHIT
I take potshots with shadows and miss every time. I resort to sending spears of darkness flying at its head. some of them actually hit, but fail to penetrate the bone. This thing was made to last, I see. I go Wolverine on the skull-head, making a claw out of shadows and letting Maddie run away on her own while I engage the beast myself in good old-fashioned melee combat.
I rake my claw across its belly, causing a fair amount of blood loss, but not nearly enough for an insta-kill. In reply, the skull-head drags its claw across my face, nearly blinding me in the right eye. My glasses come flying off in the process, but there is no time to find them now, and GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
I scream as the skull-head clamps its jaws around my side and holds on pretty damn tight. I sink to my knees as the blood seeps through my shirt and stains my blazer. But then, my saving grace appears.
A spear of light impales the beast through the neck, and implants itself into the ground. It then splits in half and pulls outwards, beheading the skull-head.
I lay on the floor, bleeding heavily. My vision is going fuzzy, and I can only just make out the hourglass frame of Deomi, the light curling around Aaron and the uncomfortable amount of skin colour which must be Maddie and Lewis. I hear Deomi scream something like "GET HELP! QUICK! BANDAGE! HAS ANYONE GOT A BANDAGE?!"
The last thought that passes through my head is 'that was my best suit... Tosser..."
OOC: Guys, for the record, I am NOT killing off Felix. Not for a while yet. A looooong while...
