Quil rolled her eyes, deciding it was best not to egg Angel on.
Denny's face broke out in a grin, before he shook Liz awake. "Hey, sleepyhead, Angel's up and running, even if Bryant's still out cold," he told her.

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Dec 21, 2011 10:25 pm

Elizabeth felt the shaking and groaned, not wanting to wake up yet.

"I wouldn't do that. She's very grumpy when you wake her up." Angel cackled. "But it's your face, not mine. Speaking of, Denny, what happened to your nose?"

"Leo punched me," Denny grunted, brushing Elizabeth's hair out of her face, before sighing.
A mischievous look surfaced on his face, "Fine, Liz, you asked for it." He kissed her forehead, feeling a little less worried about her sanity now that Angel was awake.

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Dec 21, 2011 10:41 pm

Angel cocked her head. "What are you doing?" she asked him, confused. What had happened while she was unconcious?

Elizabeth opened her eyes. "Denny, what are you doing?" she asked him.

"You wouldn't wake up, Sleeping Beauty. What better way to wake up a princess than with a kiss?" Denny teased, ignoring Angel's confusion. It would be difficult for him to explain, and that was effort wasted in his head.

"Denny Singles, I swear to god, if you are using your man-whore tendencies on Elizabeth, I'll rip off what makes women actually fall for you." Angel glowered at him, folding her arms.

Elizabeth sighed. "I'm awake now..." she trailed off.

by quackers are yummylicious Wed Dec 21, 2011 10:50 pm

"You can't rip off charm~" Denny chuckled at Angel, giving her a thumbs up.

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Dec 21, 2011 10:52 pm

"I can rip off your balls." Angel glowered. "She's my best friend. Break her heart and I'll break your face."

by quackers are yummylicious Wed Dec 21, 2011 11:01 pm

"You think I don't know that? Why the hell would I mess with her if I knew you'd fuck me up later?" Denny asked a bit irritatedly, before laughing. "Either way, Leo beat you to it in the break Denny's face department."

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Dec 21, 2011 11:04 pm

"My warning still stands." Angel warned, and looked around. "Where are we? Did we get out of the house?" She shook her head. "Dammit. I missed all of the fun." she said sadly.

"Angel, chill. He's alright. And no, we haven't left yet. We're in a hideout in the house." Liz said.

"Are you kidding me? You went exploring without me?!" Angel said angrilly, glaring at the rest of the room.

by quackers are yummylicious Wed Dec 21, 2011 11:05 pm

"You were leading the exploration, dumbass," Denny retorted. "Physically, at least."

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Dec 21, 2011 11:11 pm

"What? All I remember is going in the house. Next thing I know, I'm here." It was here that Angel noticed Bryant on one of the beds. "Oh my god! Bryant! What happened!?!?!" she almost screamed.

Elizabeth frowned. "The monster..." she trailed off, losing her voice and unsure of what to say.

"You mean Sqooshy? No way. He doesn't look like he could do that." Angel said, picking up the blob and squishing it more. It almost giggled.

"No! There's a huge monster running around the house and it isn't that thing! Wait, you named it?" Elizabeth asked.

"In the ten minutes I've been up, I named this blob thing Squooshy because it's squishy and naming it Squishy is too mainstream." Angel nodded as if to say that's that. "Anyway, what happened to Bryant?"

by quackers are yummylicious Wed Dec 21, 2011 11:19 pm

"The monster attacked him," Quil spoke up, her eyes hard. "Bryant locked Joseph, Liz, and me in this cell in the basement, and tried to fend off the monster on his own. It..." She swallowed nervously. "It swatted him aside, and was trying to get at us, when your group found us, Angel. You guys scared the monster off."

Denny sat next to Elizabeth, patting her shoulder comfortingly. He wasn't quite sure what to say; it wasn't like he could erase the monster and the attack, hell, this whole ordeal, from her memory.

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Dec 21, 2011 11:23 pm

It was here Elizabeth started crying. "I should have fought harder to get out. I should have done more." She repeated this over and over again, until she finally leaned into Denny's chest to attempt to calm down again.

Angel shook her head. "Oh my god."

Whoever was holding the journal may have heard a bell chime in the distance. Bryant's eyes were wide open, but they were blank and emotionless. His breathing stopped.

Aria stared at Bryant's body, her expression not changing at all. "Did he...?"

by quackers are yummylicious Wed Dec 21, 2011 11:26 pm

Denny wrapped his arms around her, rubbing her back comfortingly. "Shh...shh..." he murmured, for once unsure of what to do.
Upon noticing Bryant, Denny held Liz tighter, not wanting her to notice their friend's death. There wasn't anything she could do.

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Dec 21, 2011 11:30 pm

And yet, Elizabeth heard the bell chime from the journal in her pocket. "What was that?" she asked, confused.

"No..." Angel shot up out of bed and ran to the bed, almost crying. "Bryant, can you hear me? Bryant?" she started to shake him. "Come on, little buddy, tell me if you can hear me. Come on, please Bryant. Tell me something. Tell me how horrible weed is. I don't care, just say something. Tell me you're not what I think you are."

Joseph stood next to Angel, his eyes wide with fear. "Bryant...no...Bryant, you can't do this..."

by quackers are yummylicious Wed Dec 21, 2011 11:38 pm

Somewhere along the way, Denny stopped hugging Liz for her comfort, and more for his own. Tears traced down his face as he shook quietly, not making any noise while he cried. This was ridiculous. He was supposed to be the strong one and yet he was so weak.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Wed Dec 21, 2011 11:42 pm

The journal in Lizzy's pocket seemed to get thicker, or maybe it was just her imagination. Maybe.

There was no response from Bryant, just his blank, eerie stare. Aria frowned. "He's..." ...I don't want to be the one to say it.

by Book the Hero Wed Dec 21, 2011 11:42 pm

"Bryant..." Leo whispered. from behind Joseph and Angel. "...You got to be kidding me...this can't be happening..."

Joseph dropped to his knees, his head looking down. "Damn...damnit..."

"GOD FUCKING DAAMMNNIT!" He yelled, as he punched the ground, crying.

by quackers are yummylicious Wed Dec 21, 2011 11:45 pm

Quil stood up abruptly, rubbing the tears off her face. She gently closed Bryant's eyes, unable to take anymore of his blank stare.

by **Rose Hathaway** Thu Dec 22, 2011 5:55 pm

Angel let Bryant's body go, almost crying now. She was shaking now, not in sadness, but in anger.

Elizabeth was even more furious. She yanked herself out of Denny's arms and went straight to Angel. "This is all yout fault!" she screamed at her.

"What?" Angel demanded.

"You were the one who wanted to come here in the first place! Now Bryant is dead because of you! Because you wanted to be crazy and get high off of life in here or something! What are we going to tell his parents?! What are you going to do once we get out of here and we watch our friend be buried in the ground!" Elizabeth screamed, shaking with rage.

"I don't know, okay?! I didn't expect this to happen! I thought they were just ghost stories, I didn't think there would be a man-eating monster in here! Besides, it was-"

"I don't care what you fucking expected! I care more that your reckless ideas got Bryant killed!"

"You know what? I'm going to get us out of here, and I'm going to save Bryant too. I don't know how, but I am. If you think I got us into this mess, I'm getting us out of it." Angel snapped, and picked her whip and Squooshy off of the bed. Squooshy hummed, and Angel disappeared out of thin air, while Elizabeth sank to her knees, crying.

When Angel teleported through the house, not like she expected she would, she had just meant to walk out of the hideout and go from there, she appeared on the first floor in a library. The door opened, and the monster walked in. "So we meet again." she smiled darkly. "You killed Bryant. I know what happened before, Squooshy here told me, about the whole time thing. Why did you go after him? Why did you have to go for the little one, the one we all cared about most? Why are you so set on hurting us?" Her fist clenched around her whip, digging her nails into her palms. It felt good.

"I'm going to hurt you back. I'm going to get us out of here. But if you want to live, I want to make a deal with you."

"YoU wIlL nOt EsCaPe." it said.

Angel smirked. "Well then." Squooshy jumped on her shoulder, and sang. An immense power built up inside her, and she put her hands out and blasted him with magic given to her by Squooshy. The monster burned up, and everything went black, even though it felt like she was still standing. She sank to her knees, laughing. "I killed you. But we're still not free. I'll get us out. I'll be everyone's hero, and I'll make up for having this idiotic idea." She laughed more. "But you bastard, you blinded me. So now I can't see you. You can sneak up on me and kill me if you want. That's a little unfair, don't you think?" More laughing. "Ah well. Too late to turn back now."

Denny breathed in, slowly regaining control of his emotions. He needed to stop Liz. He needed to fix Angel. All he wanted for things to be normal. "Liz..." he said quietly, placing a hand on her shoulder.

by **Rose Hathaway** Thu Dec 22, 2011 6:01 pm

After she had yelled at Angel and she disappeared, Elizabeth instantly regretted everything she said. "We have to... stop her." she sobbed. "Before she... ends up... like Bryant." she stood up and threw her arms around his neck, crying into his shoulder.
