Post #2502828 in Healing Break, a roleplay on RPG

Anneliese watched as the man woke. It seemed to take him a moment to realize what was happening. The man was quickly moving away from her. "What...Who are-Who the hell are you? And how did you get in here?" The man asked. Anneliese was frozen. She couldn't even begin to remember the last time she'd allowed someone to truly see her. It was a odd feeling, she had to admit. She was quick to pull herself out of her thoughts. "We don't have time to talk right now. Please. He's coming." She said, looking at him with fear and concern.

A noise that came from the kitchen caused her to quickly tear her gaze from the man, looking towards the other room. She quickly turned back to the man. She was hesitating. She didn't want to leave him there, alone and not knowing what was coming for him and the other man. However, she also didn't want to leave her sister alone when he was so close. She moved then, approaching the man slowly. She was quickly realizing that he would most likely not go with her unless she gave him something to believe.

"I'm Anneliese. This is my home. You and the man upstairs are the intruders." Her tone had taken a edge though slowly it disappeared. "Regardless, I can't allow anything to happen to you. I couldn't forgive myself." She was sure that he had no idea what she was talking about. For all she knew, he thought her a mad person. She reached out towards him slowly. She placed a hand upon the man's arm and slowly took hold of his wrist. Her touch was gentle yet firm. She would not allow him to die. "Please..you don't want to end up like me." She was frightened, that much was clear.

She tugged on him, trying to get him off of the couch. When, at last, he was up, she led the way through the house quickly. She was silent as she led the way up the stairs. She entered into the closest bedroom. It was empty though there was boxes and furniture sitting about. She quickly pulled open the closet and pulled the man into it. She shut the door and moved back as far as she could. She then slowly slid down the wall, hugging herself.

It was only a few moments later when she heard the other man calling for the one that she'd tugged along after her. She glanced up at the man. "Be quiet." She said softly. "My sister is out there. She's looking after him." She eyed the man closely. Suddenly the room became cold and foreboding. The door to the closet began shaking violently and Anne began crying quietly. She wanted the Darkness to go away. She was tired of the fear and hiding.

Landon thought that he heard movement out in the hall. He rose from the bed and made his way out of the room. He watched the hallway, looking about. He saw Johnny disappearing into the bedroom. He debated with himself for a long moment before he made his way after the younger man. He walked down the hall, calling out. "Johnny?" He paused at the door, not seeing his friend. He knew that he saw him go in. Confusion crossed his features. "Johnny?" He thought he heard whispering though ignored it. He was beginning to worry about his sanity. Was he loosing it?

He shook his head and then made his way back into his own room. He sat down on the bed, looking towards the door. Something was going on..he knew it. He was feeling odd. Like something was off. He didn't care for it. The lights suddenly began flickering and he could hear creaking throughout the house. He felt as if his heart had stopped. He couldn't say he cared for the feeling. He debated with himself for a long time before he rose from his seat once again.

He glanced to the closet. Something was urging him to get in, to hide. He had no idea why, though. He made his way to the closet and opened it. His was slightly smaller than the one that was in Johnny's room. He entered, closing the door. He sat down on the floor, leaning his back against the wall. He closed his eyes, trying to calm his nerves. Suddenly, the door to the closet began shaking. Landon tried to keep quiet. He had to admit that he was freaking out pretty bad. How was he going to explain this to Johnny. The younger mad would only think him mad.

As the shaking got worse, Landon pressed himself against the wall. Whatever was causing this..it felt different from the presence he'd felt earlier. This one was clearly evil. Plain and simple. He was definitely planning on speaking with Johnny now. He had to know if the younger man had experienced anything as he had. However, he would not be leaving until he felt as if it was safe once again.
