Post #2504363 in Healing Break, a roleplay on RPG

Anneliese could feel the Darkness. He was searching for them. All of them. She could only hope that Blanche was doing as she'd asked. She did not care for being so afraid. It was nearly a every night occurrence. That, however, did not make it any easier. Were they cursed to continue on in such a fashion until he got them? And what of the two men? If the Darkness got them, forced them to die, would they be forced to remain together? She tried to ignore these thoughts. They never helped. She'd stopped crying after a few long moments as the dread moved from the room that they were in. Anne looked over towards the man.

Slowly, she stood from her seat. Her eyes never left the man. She had to admit that she was surprised that he'd not simply busted out of the closet the moment she'd let go of him. "He'll continue through the house, looking. He won't go away until dawn. Do me a favor, will you? Stay here until then. He won't find you here." She said softly. It was clear from her voice that she was still worried..but she needed to find Blanche. She'd left the younger woman alone for too long.

The woman suddenly disappeared from the man's sight and then reappeared out of the closet. She'd heard her sister's cries and could not ignore them. She crouched down near the woman, ignoring the other man. "Come. We need to go." She said quietly. She hoped that her sister would understand that they needed to disappear from the man's sight. It was the only way that they could feel safe.

Once they were no longer visible, Anne tugged her sister into the closet. She was sure that they knew that the girls were still with them though they were trying to remain quiet. The older woman slid back upon the floor, trying to get Blanche to do the same. As they sat together, Anne found her gaze shifting to the man she'd pulled to the bedroom. There was something about him that seemed to pull her to him. He'd not really seemed afraid of her..but he'd sense the Darkness..that much she'd been able to tell.

The moment the form of a young woman formed before his eyes, Landon was certain he'd lost it. He said nothing as she grabbed hold of his arm, forcing him to follow her out of the closet. It didn't seem like no time when the woman stopped, screaming. He had no idea what was frightening her and honestly, he was fairly certain that he didn't want to know. Landon was unsure how long the woman remained unmoving but he did not leave her. He couldn't. She seemed like she needed him..needed help though he did not know how.

When the woman began moving again, Landon continued to follow her to what was to be Johnny's bedroom..if they ever got completely unpacked. They stopped outside of the closet, the woman sunk down to the ground, calling out for someone named 'Annie'. Landon found himself simply watching the woman for a moment. Before he was able to speak to her, another woman appeared. She completely ignored him, focusing upon the woman on the floor. She spoke though Landon could not hear her.

Within a few seconds, they were both gone. Landon opened the closet door slowly, facing Johnny. He didn't know how he knew his friend was in there..but he did. He entered, shutting the door. "Man, am I glad to see you." He said quietly. He hesitated for a moment before he spoke once again. "Something's going on here. Can you feel it? I swear that I saw the two ghosts..the women that used to live here. Is that why you're in here?"

Landon didn't want to admit it, but he was freaking out a bit. He'd never really been into the paranormal stuff and now all this was happening. It was clear to him that something was going on in the house but it wasn't the girls doing it. They were hiding from it as well.
