(OOC-Well its a good thing i'm taking the time to read through this lol)
::Eva had a mix of reactions though the one about her standing out mostly had her shaking her head::
"Its the hair isn't it..."
::She stuck her tongue out at Lillith before giving a smile and looked towards the rest of the guys::
"Looks like we'll see you boys later..."
::She gave a slight wave before heading up the stairs behind Lillith::

::Lillith gives Eva a sly wink::
Don't give me that look. I couldn't book a room with you and Dante together. Oliver and Iole are a little young to learn about that just yet, don't you think? You don't see me and Kenny going all cavalier do you?

::Lillith takes one last look down the stairs::
Iole, make sure you and Oliver don't stay up too late.
Iole: I won't. I'm just not quite ready for sleep is all. I'll be up in a minute.
Alright then.
::Lillith and Eva retire to their room with the men staying just down the hall. After only a few minutes, somehow she isn't surprised to find that Eva is actually a pretty heavy snorer. But right now the mental and physical strain of the investigation is winning out over her body and her eyes close, letting her drift gently off to sleep::

::Once again Eva goes as red as her hair::
"Oh come on! Don't tell me I have to hear that from you too Lillith, I've already heard that question from Iole...maybe someone isn't as quite innocent as you think."
::She smirked seeing her shocked face::
"And besides who's to say that you haven't went cavalier yet."
(OOC-Lies on the snoring! lol)
::She bid Iole and Oliver good night before going to the room to head to bed herself::

(OOC: Yeah, I should have asked first, but it wouldn't surprise me if Eva did have a snoring problem).
::The last thing Lillith says to Eva before she drifts off is this::
No Eva, I am happy to say that that adventure is one he and I are saving for last.
::Feeling a little too embarrassed to continue on, she pulls the covers over her head and is out cold::

::Sometime during the night, Lillith awakes to a startling sound and the unnerving feeling that someone is in her room. The last lingering moments of sleep fade yet, she finds herself unable to move, like under the spell of some otherworldly sleep paralysis. Her eyes refuse to open, her ears hear as if she is submerged under a blanket of water, distorted and muffled. In the other bed, Eva remains still, frozen under he sheets, unaware of the presence that invades the privacy of the room. The presence slowly walks closer and closer to Lillith’s bedside, each step echoing inside her head.::
“This appeared as a moral dilemma, ‘cause at first it was weird though I swore to eliminate the worst of the plague that devoured humanity. It’s true I was vague on the how, so can it be that you… have shown me the light?”
::The presence is now beside her bed, looming over her.::
“Now that you, the savior is still as the grave you’re beginning to fear me… Like cavemen fear thunder, I still have to wonder, can you really hear me?”
::The voice is now right beside her ear, the hot breath of the presence wafting over her ear, bathing it in a disgusting warmth.::
“I bring you pain, the kind you can't suffer quietly!”
::The presence steps back, again looming over her bed, laughing lowly to himself under his breath.::
“It’s a brand new night, the moon is high and all the crickets are singin’ that you’re gonna die. You hear me, Lillith, you're going to die. You should of stayed away, but no, now you will be another piece to complete my puzzle.”
::Suddenly, a sharp prick pierces her a vein in her forearm, her blood now flowing slowly into what sounds like something glass that rattles beside her head. Then, a pressure weighs on her chest as the presence, what feels like a man straddles her chest. A sharp instrument pierces her right cheek, that slowly cuts into her flesh, and no matter what her mind demands, her body refuses to listen.::
::Just then, there’s a disturbance at the door. It swings open, the light from the hallway striking the assailant and reflecting off the eye-glasses they wear. Suddenly, a charge of energy explodes around the door, throwing whoever interrupted back and against the wall with a spine shattering crack. The assailant suddenly grabs what he brought with him and leaps from the bed and dives out of the nearby window, shattering the glass, dropping two stories to the wet street below and flees down the dark street. The spells upon Eva and Lillith fades.::
((OOP: First one to post can be the lucky one to get a nice blast to the face.))

::Lillith gasps like she's just emerged from a freezing lake. Cold and terror are all she feels right now as she raises her hand to the still hot blood that streaks from the wound in her face. Her body is her own again, but she can't will herself to move it. She's not even coherent enough to see who it was that opened the door::

Post by Iole on Nov 6, 2008 1:55:05 GMT -5
::Iole staggers back to her feet, rubbing the back of her head where she slammed into the wall. Spots dance across her vision, and she can't quite see the scene clearly yet::
Geez Lillith, I knew you were jumpy, but was that any reason to...
::Her eyesight focuses again and the light bouncing off the bright crimson of Lillith's blood is the first thing she sees::
What... the... hell? Somebody help! Lillith's bleeding!
::Out of the corner of her eye she cans see the shattered window where the assailant made a run for it. She rushes over to the sill to peer out into the dark moonlit streets below::

Adrian runs up the stares and to Lillith's room. "I heard a crash, what's wrong!?" He enters the room and runs to Lillith's bed side, looking her over quickly. "Stay still, let me see." He checks her arm and cheek. "It's superficial..." He yanks a metallic object out of her arm, a needle. "What the hell? Lillith, you with us, wake up. What happened?"

I think she's in shock! Where's Kenny! Eva, wake up! Quick!

Post by Oliver on Nov 6, 2008 3:01:36 GMT -5
Oliver awakes, dozing at a table on the first floor, to the sound of a window shattering and something falling from above. He jumps from his seat and takes to the door, swinging it open just as a shadowy man sprints from a landing crouch and down the street. Oliver grabs his shank and readies it.
"Stop!" He yells at the shadow as he darts after it, streaking through the street. He plows through people, just as the shadow does. The shadow crosses a street and Oliver takes aim and throws his crude shank at the fleeing assailant, striking him the thigh.
In one quick motion, the dark man rips the weapon from his thigh and throws it to the ground, never once stopping to run. Oliver losses his them, the moment to stop costing him the vital moments he needed to stay on his trail. Frustrated with himself, he retrieves his shank. For a moment he stays in the middle of the street, staring off into the distance where the dark man ran off too, his hand clenching tightly around the bloody metal.
He turns back, the cold now growing more bitter in the night. He wipes the blood away on his pant-leg, stuffs the shank back into his belt, tightens his scarf once around his neck and slowly heads back to the inn, emotionally beating himself up over his failure to catch who fled.

No!!!!!!" :He saw her wounds and was mad and crying at the same time: "I'm sorry!!!! I wanted to protect!!! WHO DID THIS? ?" :He was worried for her safety:

"What are you doing out here?," Ren said suddenly appearing behind Oliver. "C'mon, let's go back inside."

Adrian raises his arm to prevent Kenny from getting to close. "Stand back, she needs air and last thing she needs is someone yelling, get ahold of yourself." His attention turns back to Lillith, lying there. He taps her good cheek and calls her to her senses. "Lillith, snap out of it." He shakes his head. "Some sort of magic she was under, check Eva someone."

Ren went back inside with Oliver. “Lillith..,” Ren thought. “Oliver here saw the assailant, but the man ran away before I caught up with Oliver.”

Oliver refuses to turn around and continues walking back toward the inn, tucking his head in closer to his shoulders. "Wha, ya me dad now? Wher'ya at when tha guy was runn'in, huh!?" He scolds. "Thas was the Harvester, it was, I cou'd feel it an ya jus tell me to 'get 'ack inside'... Don see ya do'in anytin abou'it so dun tell me to do sumtin, you ain't a grown up anyway, ya arn't, so 'eave me a'one."
Oliver picks up his pace, no longer acknowledging Ren's presence behind him.

"I tried to catch up with him too. I saw jump outside and I hurried," Ren explained. "Lillith made us stay here to make sure you don't do anything stupid!"
It was the first time Ren had been angry. "I just did my duty and It a good thing you didn't get injured!"

"Lil'ith probab'y dead..." Oliver says, angrily, still refusing to look back at Ren. "Jus 'ike me mum, all dead." He sniffs. "An I don care if I get injured, stop treatin me 'ike a baby! I near'y had him, you didn't!"
Oliver storms through the inn's pub towards the stairs, knocking chairs as he passe by them to block Ren's path. Up the stairs Oliver approaches Lillith's room door. He peers inside to see Adrian and the others hoovering in and around the scene and it appears the Lillith is mostly unhurt. Oliver breaths a sigh of relief, turns back to the wall beside the door and slides down it till he's sitting in a ball on the floor. Still frustrated and angry at himself for what he perceived as a failure on his part.

Ren quickly puts his hands down on Lilith's forearm. His hands suddenly glowed. it appears that Lillith's wound was healing. Ren didn't say anything but tears slowly flowed down his cheeks. The wound was restored into skin sealing the wound. Ren then put his hand on right above Lillith's heart location. "I'll try to restore her pulse. Just a few minutes."

Adrian stops Ren cold, grabbing his hand and throwing it back. "Stop! She's not dead, the wounds were surface cuts and whatever foul magic she was put under just stopped her from becoming fully awake, she just needs time for her body to recover. Doing anything like you planned could kill her." Adrian looks back up to Iole, towards Eva's bed and then Kenny. "How is she? And Iole, what did you see? What happened?"
