"Oh contraire, little American, she is INDEED mine with to do what I please. Now, you are starting to make me quite agitated. We have let you go for her. Now leave." the voice demanded as Lena screamed again, trying to crawl away from what was holding her foot. *** Greg looked up in surprise as Linnea burst into the room, and grabbed his hands. "What the? Linnea, what is it? I do not understand Swedish." he asked as he jogged after her, Kam up and behind him immediately. |

Xade shook his head and stubbornly started walking forward. He hadn't meant to get anyone in trouble.... especially not Lena. "I don't know why I'm talking to myself... you don't exist... this is all just a big dream, right?? Lena? Can you hear me? I'm gonna find you." ~~ Linnea, keeping a tight grip on Gregory's hand, was talking to him in Swedish. She was far too upset to translate in her head. Looking back only once to make sure Kam was coming as well, her bright sky blue eyes darted up to meet Gregory's; she looked visibly upset. She led him downstairs, taking them two or three at a time until they reached the first floor. When they did, she turned and led them down the hallway and then pulled him into the suffocating darkness of the spiral staircase that led downstairs into the basement. Her hand tightened around his as they reached about halfway down into the basement. "Xade?" she called into the dark. "Xade...? Lena?" |

The voice laughed again as the room around Xade suddenly got ice cold. "Believe what you want little American, but there are some things that are VERY much real. I'm sorry, but I don't believe I can let you find her. We need her." the voice said, the air cold enough to form icicles. Lena could only hear Xade's voice if she strained, and right now she was a little too preoccupied trying to get her foot loose. She was panicking because her powers weren't working, and she was starting to lose feeling her foot because whatever it was, was holding on very tightly. She screamed again and again as she tried to pull herself away, fingers scraping at the stones beneath her hands. *** "Linnea? Wha-" Greg tried to ask but was too busy being pulled down into the basement. Basements were never good places in haunted castles. "What are we doing in the basement and why are you calling Xade and Lena's names? Linnea, I can not understand you." he told her, as he used her hold on his hand, to pull her closer so he could looked down at her, Kamau having shifted into a large jaguar so he could have better night vision. |

Xade scowled and continued blindly into the darkness. He didn't care if he was the one who ended up lost down here. He couldn't wait for Linnea to come back with Greg.... Lena needed him now not in ten minutes when they showed up. "What do all you Europeans have against Americans anyways?" he asked. "Listen, I don't care what your deal is with being dead, since obviously you are, but that doesn't give you the right to go killing and stealing people! Now. Give me back my girlfriend, damn it! I'm getting mad!" ~ Linnea pointed out at the darkness and paused, only a second to look up into Greg's eyes. "It's Xade and Lena," she finally managed in thickly accented English; it seemed when she was upset, it was hard to switch. "They're down here somewhere. I think...I think someone has Lena and Xade went after her. Gregory, you have to help. Xade can't do much, he's normal! He's probably in more trouble now anyway. I'm useless too, I can't control myself enough to help...." She looked over at Kam, "Can you see them, Kamau? Xade surely can't be far." |

The laughter got louder as Xade went on, before there was a sudden flashing light and a most horrible screech. Then, there was a floating shadow in front of Xade that looked rather similar to a guy, his face discernable. "I know where your girlfriend is, but we have to hurry. I do not have that much power in this Castle." it told him in a whispered tone, sounding urgent. It was obvious he was a weak ghost. *** Greg cursed in Russian as he ran his free hand through his short-cropped hair. "We will put Kamau in the lead, and he will lead us to Xade. Xade first since I believe he was he first down here, and we can not have him act rashly. Spirits are not ones to be messed with." |

Xade's rather stubborn gait faltered a moment when something just popped up like a firework in front of him. He jumped back a couple steps, looking warily at the floating, wispy,.......THING in front of him. "This is so mental," he muttered, staring at what looked like a sort of shadowy, remnant of a man. "I'm going to need years of intense therapy to recover from this god damned trip." He narrowed his eyes a bit, blinking a couple times. "Well then, what the hell are you waiting for? Take me to her!" He paused..... "...er...please." ~ Linnea nodded, feeling a creeping fear that the silence that was around them was simply a trick of the spirits, causing them to hear nothing of what was going on. She stayed remarkably close to Gregory, practically against his side and looked at Kamau. "Lena went that way." She pointed. "I don't think Xade knew that... he could have gone any which way..." |

The fading ghost chuckled as he swept through the basement, it's body emitting enough of a glow for Xade to follow as he led him to Lena. The scene that they arrived at was not pretty. In fact, you could not exactly describe that the thing WAS that was holding on to Lena's leg as she tried to get away. It looked like the remaining body of a human, but it was so decayed and rotted that all it was was a pile of disgusting smelling mush. Yet for a pile, it had a strong grip on Lena's leg. *** Greg looked down to see how nervous Linnea was, and took his free hand to brush it against her cheek soothingly as he held her close as the followed behind Kamau as he followed Linnea's instructions. They would find them soon enough. |

Xade followed the ghostie, as he so aptly named it in his head, and wrinkled his nose at the scent. It was almost enough to make him feel sick.... but seeing Lena was enough to push that away. Without thinking it through all the way, he dashed forward and gave his absolute BEST football punting kick to the pile of rotting goop that had it's nasty hold on Aleine's ankle. Instead of completely letting go, his well placed kick sent most of the pile soaring into black, but it's hand was still firmly gripping her foot. "Piece of crap, stubborn ass dead thing. What the hell," he grumbled and kicked at it's dismembered wrist. It finally released her and Xade bent down, reaching his arms out for Lena. "Aleine...come on. We gotta get outta here, girl." He smiled, weakly, but it was lost in the dark. ~~ Linnea looked gratefully up at Greg, but now wasn't the time for him to calm her.... they needed to worry about Lena and Xade. "They could be anywhere...." she said quietly, and mostly to herself, as they set about after Kamau. She had no idea how Kam would find them....and she felt terrible for leading Lena down here.... even if it was MOSTLY Xade's fault. He had BETTER have a damn good reason for being down here in the first place.... she was going to seriously hit him if he didn't..... |

Lena looked up through her wild dirty hair at Xade, her blue eyes wide and fearful as she looked at him. "Xade?" she asked quietly before throwing herself into his arms, but not before seeing the ghost that had help Xade vanish with a sad smile on his face. She didn't think twice about it as she hugged Xade tightly. "Thank you so much, but you idiot!! What were you doing down here in the first place? Are you ok?" she asked as she looked at him, her hand resting on his cheek. *** "If anybody can find them, it's Kam." Greg told her soothingly as he looked up to find Kamau wrinkling his nose in disgust before following the smell and leading them right to where Lena and Xade were sitting. |

Xade pulled her in, despite her dirty hair and kissed her forehead. He reached up and put both hands on her jaw, tilting her face to look up at him. He smiled sheepishly and shrugged, "Er, first off, you're welcome. Second off, can we not talk about that right now? This smell is really bothering--" He heard what sounded like footsteps and tensed. He looked around for Casper, his new name for the ghost that had helped him, but he seemed to have disappeared. "Cheeky Europeans.... well... thanks anyways!" he called out, seemingly to no one. He looked back at the sound. "Lena? Xade?!" Linnea pulled from Gregory, though refused to let go of his hand. "Are you two alright? God, we need to get out of here. Come on, come on, let's go back upstairs, alright?" Xade stared at the darkness, narrowing his eyes only enough to see Linnea's outline. "Psssst, Lena..... is there a crazy Swede talking to me in languages I don't understand and expecting me to understand??" |
