Introduction

You land on a hard, cold surface and their is nothing but darkness all around. You can not remember where you were before you landed here...or anything about your past...You can only remember your name.
All of the sudden creatures start appearing around you, chasing you and taunting you , "A Tasty Human, a TASTY HUMAN!!"
You run for your life, and you keep running, time does not exist in this place. You will spend an eternity running from these creatures, if you are killed you will just pull yourself back together...over and over again...feeling the pain of each death as vividly as the first.
Unless... There is only one way out of the Abyss and that is to make a contract with one of the demon creatures, then you with both be freed back into the real world, for a time. Your contract will have a time limit...once your contract is up, your creature will drag you back to the Abyss and kill you itself...over and over again. Will you accept the contract? Is it worth going back somewhere you don't remember? Just to be dragged back down to the darkness...?


Image
The moment you touch your creature and form the contract you feel a searing pain in the middle of your back, as if a knife has been driven through your spine. Your eyes open wide and your head is thrown back in agony, and you feel it. A weight on your back, and mirrors appear all around you. You claw at your back to see a shadow girl digging her claws in your back, try as you might she is only a shadow.All you can do is watch. She whispers into your ear as she dissolves, "It is going to tear you bit by bit," you hear the cackles from the invisible being, "Its going to rip you apart and watch your blood drain to the ground," she reappears before you. "And then you will be mine forever!"

Image
You wake once more, this time in the real world. Where the girl clawed your back you have a black symbol signifying the contract. You're creature lands beside you. You have fallen into the home of the Keeper of the Door. She greets you and explains, "This is more than likely not your time. The people you love are long gone, though it may have been hours or days for you in there," She points to the black door, "It has been years out here. You have come here because you have made a contract correct? Well, you see what you have done is illegal! I must turn you in now or...you earn your way out of the Abyss and work for me...

Doldum cried out in pain, and momentarily to the girls dropped limp to the ground. He turned and swatted Arian away, catching razer sharp claws in the hand in the process.
A slight but noticeable *snap* can be heard, looking down he see's that Red is now "limping"
He clutched where Daemon had pierced him, thick black blood spilled from the wound.
Marline screams in agony, tears flowing from her eyes...but Doldum picks her back up again.
"Foul Creatures, get away from me!" Doldum growled, he lifted him arm to pull up Red's weapon, making her press it to her own throat, "One more step and I'll off her. She means nothing to me!"
His lips form a cruel grin as he stares back at Arian.

Standing back a little So-So and Dodado watched the situation change over again. "Hmph, if it wasn't for the order to keep her alive I'd have already sliced that stupid ventriloquist in half already." So-So said throwing a potato chip in his mouth.
"You're as cold as those serpintine eyes of yours So-So," Dodado responded, "You really are cruel............where did the bag of chips come from?"
"...I......don't really know, weird huh?"
"Yeah, also we can use an illusion from this distance. You know that right?"
"Unlikely, your powers are waning. With this being a void demon he's as suseptable to your powers. I doubt we could hold him for a few seconds...unless you turn off the illusion to keep your self looking like that."
Dodado's eyes widened, he hesitated but finally, "Fine, let's just get it over with."
"Really? I didn't think you'd go for it. Hehehe, let's do it! Cobra Coil."
The ground under doldum and Marline shifted and coiled around them turning into snakes. Dodado and So-So strained to keep up the hold on the two of them.
"Hurry and finish it!" they yelled in unison, "We can't hold them for long!"

Doldum became entwined, and struggled to move. With the inability to use his hands, Red drops to the ground, and the strings connecting her sever.
He snarls, "What is this!!" and whips his long neck around in fury.

Marline goes limp in the catches of the vines, while he loses his connection with her she mumbled, tears streaming down her face..."Kill him...make it stop..."

Arian smirked back at Doldum, hiding her irritation at being trapped by Doldum's control of Red. Her fur bristled. Below, she saw Gwyn circle Red warily, just as trapped as she was. Or were they? As So-So and Dodado trapped Marline and Doldum in an illusion, Arian realized something. Doldum's time was almost up. They just needed a bit more time...

One of her ears twitched and both flattened against the back of her head. "Gwyn, back up a bit," she warned. I don't know how long So-So and Doldum can hold them and I don't want us caught when we're diluting time like this... Her stance relaxed and her fur lay flat. She gazed at Doldum calmly, her glowing blue, pupil-less eyes dimming slightly. Suddenly, matching circles of pale white, nearly-transparent smoke spun around Arian and Doldum's necks while a miniature version wrapped around Gwyn's wrist. The circles had thousands of little runes around the edges and as the spinning stopped, it was easier to see the elaborate clock-hands set in the middle, pointing at various roman numerals. They had been ticking along in matching time, but now, the faded clock around Doldum suddenly sped up. The hands began to slide along, gaining speed.

Meanwhile, the "clocks" for Gwyn and Arian slowed slightly. Gwyn's brow furrowed as he felt his movements slow down marginally. While it wasn't slowing down that was the worrying part - with Arian's help, they could make up for the movement-speed loss though they'd tire faster. It was the fact that Doldum would now be able to move much faster as his contract's time began speeding closer. Arian loped towards him, going at her fastest speed while boosted with her power. The slowing down however, kept her barely at an average person's speed. Gwyn reached out a hand and let Arian flow back into her masked form. He hoped So-So could hold long enough that Doldum couldn't escape. With the boost in speed, Doldum would probably outpace all of them...

{A: This post is super overdue
B: it's gonna suck, because I need sleep XD}

A clock rang out in the massive hall. The Keeper of Clocks smirked and set down her tea. An almost painful pressure was exerted on her upper-right canine tooth. Her false tooth. A dark shadow drifted from between her lips, a demonic smoke. The smoke settled in the form of an evil young woman, The Keeper's second creature: The Nymph of the Seal. 

As Cheshire scampered under the table, the Keeper of the Clicks rose and faced the Nymph. She spoke clearly and deliberately. "You are to return Doldum and Merline to me directly. You are to do nothing more." The Creature grinned wickedly and vanished from the hall. The Keeper remained standing. 

The Nymph appeared just behind Doldum and his puppet. She placed her hand on the evil Creature's and Marline's back, just over the Seal. "Time's up," she hissed and cackled deviously. Then, the Nymph, the Creature, and the girl all disappeared in a puff of dark mist.

Back at the hall, the three appeared before the Keeper of the Clocks. The Nymph cackled once more and ripped the seals painfully from the bodies. Marline screamed. The Nymph laughed some more, then dissolved into shadow, replacing herself in the hole in the Keeper's mouth, once again her canine tooth. 

Doldum was seething. "Unfair!" he cried. "Unfair!" Marline kept sobbing on the floor. The Keeper smiled. "Aw, wah, poor you." Then, she growled, "Time's up. Back to the Abyss." She waved her hand and the two vanished, Doldum growling and Marline screaming, back to the omnipresent horror of the Abyss.

The Prince walked forward to the place where Marline was moments just ago and picked up a flower, glowing with a pruple aura.
"You did well, and now you see how swiftly the Keeper of the Clocks takes you. She shows no mercy, everyone...even this little girl is taken by her one day."
He walks up to the group and holds up the flower. He places it in Amanda's hand as he helps her up. She feels a pulse throughout her body.
The scenery around them quickly changes, they begin watching the memory locked away in the flower, a memory from Amanda's past.

Red's blinks as the world around her and the Prince changes until their standing in the middle of a house, it cluttered with dirt and trash, the sound of a TV playing loudly in the background. The scenery changes again, bringing them to the upstairs part of the house and into a room, on a king sized bed a man sits, he looks fairly handsome with thick black hair and blue eyes. He's wearing worn jeans and a loose light blue T-shirt. He's starring at young girl, maybe eight or nine with long brown hair that reaches all the way down to the back of her knees. She wore a dingy and dirty white dress that ended about 5 inches above her knees and a tattered pale pink bow was tied sloppy in her hair to keep it out of her eyes. She held with a shaky hand, a gun towards the man sitting in the bed. The man narrowed his eyes at her, "Just try it missy, go on then!" she man smirked, "My precious daughter, odds are you'll just like the feeling of killing someone, just like me." The girl looked down, the gun following until it was pointed at the ground. The man frowned, "God, your just a disappointment like your weak mother, thats why i had to kill her, she was a bad influence on you, but apparently i didn't get rid of her soon enough." He says coldly, motioning to the mangled and bloody body. The man stands up and rushes towards the girl, the girl raises her arms with the gun in hand has a defensive reflects, but, the world again quickly fades until Red is standing back in the streets of where ever. She frown's, her curiosity still searching her brain for what could of happened next but failed, as expected. "W-was that me?" she whispered to herself before Daemon, back in his human form, walked up to her and slapped her against the back of her head. "You know girly, you should use your head more before you do stupid crap that again and make things worse." He says, his cold stare seeming the pierce through her until it quickly changed into a slight smile and he ruffled her hair.

[Ah, sorry for this late post, but I haven't gotten a response to my question in the OOC thread yet. :P So I'll just post it here: Is everyone seeing the memory that was unlocked or is it only the person who's memory it is sees it? I don't want to write that Gwyn witnessed Red's memories play out or that he didn't if the opposite is true after all.]

Gwyn sat down tiredly, uncaring that he was right in the middle of nowhere. He took in deep breaths, trying to slow down his racing heart. "That... took a lot out of me." In his mind, Arian scoffed half-heartedly but didn't say anything, preferring to mentally close her eyes tiredly as well.

The Prince was picking up a flower with a strange purple aura. Gwyn watched him as he spoke about the Keeper of Clocks with only a vague amount of attention. He was too drained. Too tired. And I definitely know how merciless the Keeper of Clocks is, he thought caustically.

((Hey guys, I'm sorry I haven't been posting. If you don't know already my finance called off our wedding on Wednesday, so I have been kind of torn up. I'm gonna try and start consistently posting again. Everyone see's the memory as if you were standing right there when it happened. If I can get a response from So-so we can head back to the Mansion))

((Chloe I'm so sorry for you D: I hope every thing turns out okay in the end))
So-So was panting on the ground from the amount of energy he had used. He looked over to his left and immediately started laughing at what looked like a small stuffed rabbit with a zipper and some stitches. It glared at him and poke in a medium pitch, "If don't stop laughing I will cause you such horrid nightmares."
"Oh," He said snickering, "But you look so cute *snort* Dodado...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," this went on for about a minute of So-So laughing and Dodado trying to punch him with his tiny, plushy, rabbit hands.
When the memory started they both stopped cold and observed, as it went on So-So's look got colder and darker. "As excpected," He said standing up, Dodado on his shoulder, "I think it's safe to say from that memory we just saw that our lives were, in a word, misserable. Because of this reason I'm reluctant to remember anything of my life on earth. I'd rather stay in the dark then turn on the light's and see a waistland full of rotten corpses. I'll do the missions for the keeper of clocks, but I don't care about the memorys of a rotten past life." With that last word his expression lit up again.
"Now then, who wants to play with Dodado while he's all cute and fluffy!?" He exclaimed holding out a very PO'd bunny.

The Prince chuckled to himself and took Amanda by the hand when the memory dissolved and patted it saying, "You did well today Miss Red, and everyone else for that matter."
He walked a few roads down and the carriage appeared from around the corner. He stepped out and opened the door for the group, "Please all beasts return to your cute bunny forms," he chuckled as the group boarded.
Once everyone boarded he climbed in and hey were headed back to the mansion.

((Thanks, its been hard the last few days...but he actually got down on he knees and begged me to take him back :) Thats why I hopped back off. So ya today has been a much better day))

[That's great Chloe :D]

Gwyn did not comment as the memory began, but, like Arian, observed the events carefully. When they faded away, Gwyn lowered his head slightly, his eyes shadowed by his hood. Even if his face could have been seen, it would have been like a clear slate to any watchers - blank and expressionless. Even as So-So waved off the thought of getting his memories back though, Gwyn felt the opposite. Even with the knowledge that the memories he had lost - of a life far removed from the one he had now - could be horrible and miserable, he couldn't help but want to know more.

It was not a matter of wanting to face horrors. Gwyn would rather not, but it was his life. His memories. He hated the blank empty spots in his mind. What secrets could be held there? What unknown knowledge was hidden that could help him? Arian didn't speak as Gwyn's thoughts slowly redirected themselves back to So-So and his plush rabbit. He laughed softly at Dodado as he stood up and brushed himself off automatically. "What a nice bunny you have there, So-So," Gwyn responded, grinning. "I can think of many things we can do with it..." He smirked meaningfully, laughed, and followed the Prince to the carriage.
