Natalia stood there and screamed. Loudly. It took her only about 3 seconds to start running.
"IM SORRY!!" she cried out to whoever was there and left the building, arms over her head and terrified tears streaming down her cheeks.

Cassie clutched her ears from the screeching, she couldn't see the pure darkness or the terrifying blood. She heard Natalia run through the door and out of the house by the distant crunching of gravel. "He-hello?" she stuttered nervously, she was all alone in a house, no clue where her stick was, and she could feel something warm and wet by her foot.

She couldn't see anything going on in her new house, but she heard the ghosts footsteps and the mans voice from the stairs. These things scared her badly, but she couldn't go anywhere now. Carefully, she laid on her back and scooted under the bed, trying to hide from whatever was there.

The spirit laughed with a sickening high pitch screech. Then the same dark voice once again spoke in the head of the runaway girl. "Why would you leave such an innocent person inside the haunted Manor, only a coward would do so..." The voice then disappeared in the girl's head. It then spoke in the massive building. "OUT? OUT YOU SAY! OF YOUR HOUSE! NEVER!" The Manor then exploded into a fiery illusion. "Don't underestimate my power." The voice was now feminine and in a whisper. The clicking of metal boots continued, but now much closer to the blind girl. There was a whisper in her ear.

"A table won't save anyone, Cassie." At first nothing happend but slowly the bed levitated above the floor. The worn wood creaking and moaning in mid-air. It then dropped creating a ginormous cloud of dust around the blind girl. "Wanna see a miracle?" Taleos waved his hand around the girl. Her eyes immediately became normal. She could see! Taelos grabbed the girl's stick, then snapping it in half. "You won't be needing this anymore." He smirked and threw the two halves of the stick against the wall. "Don't underestimate my power." He smiled under his white helmet


Taelos vanished only to reappear next to the girl who fled. "Not a very courageous or brave thing to do, Anthro." Taelos had a plan to his madness, but he won't say what just yet. He put his armored hand on the anthro's shoulder. "Natalia, an anthro, banished to the Ghost town, barely any food, or shelter, no one cares to take you in, except, for the blind girl YOU just left behind, maybe that is the reason no one takes you in, because you are a coward, and a fool." He then vanished in thin air. A loud cackle from what seemed a witch then silence, as it was before.

(Can I join in or no one cares?)

(You probably could, just no randomly flouncing in your mansion or garden with your butler. Kapeesh?)

(I am not sure how to respond..... He just restored Cassie's vision......... Not sure how I feel...)

Natalia froze as she was touched and she just stood there and sobbed in terror. It was true, she was a coward. She was terrified of everything. But she wasn't a fool. She looked up and slowly, nervously went back the picked Cassie up as best as she could, pulling her arm over her shoulder.

(Please don't bring that up it was weeks ago got it?)

Momoko had her hands in her pocket, She was looking for something but she couldn't find what it was. The road was nothing but dirt, the farther she walked the more foggier and lifeless the path she walked on got. Until there was nothing but dead tree's, and ash.

Cassie got more scared the closer the mans voice got until the bed rose and crashed down. Although the room and the whole manor was pitch black, she had the sense she could see again. Hearing her stick break and crash against the wall was even scarier, considering it was steel.

She heard the man vanish again from the creaking of the floorboards, a minute later she felt herself being lifted up and supported on someones shoulder. "Wh-whats hap-happening?" she asked, easing some of her weight of the person that was helping her.

The man reappeared at Cassie. "But, you have to do something for me first." Taelos waved his hand around Cassie, she was blind once again. "Get there trust. Then kill then all, quite simple, if you think about it." He smirked once again under his helmet. He chuckled a little bit but then gave a serious look at the stairs. Where her walking stick lay. "Try and do it, without your precious stick. He made a black blade appear in the girl's hand. "Plung it into each of their hearts, then return, but if you don't, and you tell them, you along with your loved ones will be destroyed. Understand me?" He harshly patte the girl's back with his gauntlet. He vanished.

A boy at about the age of fif-teen came running in. "Oh god," he was shocked at what he saw, the ghostly armored figure, vanished in the thin air. "Are you okay?" The boy helped the girl up. He obviously didnt notice the anthro outside. He grabbed her by the arm and escorted her out. He was horrified at the sight of the anthro. He walked the girl at about thirty feet away from it. He lied her down on a soft bed of grass. "Did he do anything to you?" He examined her for wounds, maybe a bit tro carefully, he obviously though her beuatiful.

(I feel like Cassie's parents are being completely disregarded... )

Natalia pulled Cassie away and out of the room, "H-help me carry her!" she looked at the boy as she pulled the blind girl along, having not heard what the demon had said (I assume only Cassie could here it). When the boy pulled Cassie away from him, she recognized the expression she had seen so many times. Horror... Disgust... That such a creature had been brought into the world. When Cassie was taken from her, she just sat down and curled into a ball, crying. She had come here to avoid that but hate seemed to find her no matter what.

Cassie stabbed the sword into the floorboards once the scary figure was gone and watched the boy come in. He clearly didn't see the other girl trying to help her because he took her through the door and out onto the lawn, she could feel the darkness seeping away from the house.

Cassie's parents came rushing into the front lawn when they saw her being escorted out by a boy they hadn't seen going in. They thought she had been hurt, but she was just really scared at what just happened. The screaming, the smell of fire, the figure that helped her up, the man, the sword. These thoughts flashed through her mind while her mother demanded to know what had happened.

Laying on the grass Cassie assured them that she was alright, just a bit shaken. She didn't tell them about the strange figure or the darkness. "Mama, I don't want to live here." she said, a tear escaping her eye. "Sorry hun, I know you don't like it here but its business." Her father said, walking back to the moving truck with her mom to finish the preparations. "Where is the other girl?" Cassie asked, referring to Natalia.

"The anthro?" The boy sighed. He walke over to the beast and tapped it's shoulder. "Hey, stop crying, c'mon stop. The girl over there wants ya." The boy pulled her up and patted her back chuckled a bit it the fur tickling his hand, he then immediately stopped coughed making the laugh seem like a cough. "Sorry for the look." He touched the anthro's ears. "I like the ears." He chuckled again at the fur tickling the tips of his fingers. "Fluffy." Was the only word that came to mind. His head twitched a bit. Was he special needs? He twitched a bit again. If so, high functioning. "S-so where are you from?" He wanted the walk over to the girl to be as least awkward as it possibly could.

When he approached, she whimpered, "P-please don't hurt me..." she whispered, hiding her face until he lifted her. She didn't look at him though and blushed as he touched her shoulders through a hole in her shirt and then her ears, "W-why do you hate me?" she asked quietly, not answering the question about her origins, "I-I'm sorry for whatever I did to make you hate me..."

"Hate you? I don't ha-" He looked down, she was meaning the look he gave her. "I don't hate you. Up close you are kind of," he cleared his throat. "Cute." He said in a hushe tone kinda hoping she wouldn't hear him. "Well, I had a bad accident with an anthro." A small tear welled up in his eyes. He quickly wiped them away from his eye. "My family was killed by them. I barely made it out alive." He touched her ears again. "Fluffy." He said once again, then immediately clearing his throat again. Small spikes were protruding from his back through his shirt.

Of course she heard it. She had the combined hearing of a shark and a fox. She bluhes deep deep red beneath her sandy fur.
"I-I'm sorry..." she whispered to him as the exited the house, "Usually we just try not to get in human's ways... And I've only heard of us hurting humans who have done exceedingly bad things to us..." she said quietly, not meaning to imply that his parents did something to deserve it.
Her ears twitched when he touched them, "Yueah... I guess..."

An illusion of fire only further frightened this apparition. What was this thing, invading her home?

The ghostly child sat upon the stairs now, sobbing in her fear until the terrible illusion had passed and the creature was gone from her sights.

Still, as fear subsided, concern rose. There were others here, children like herself, and for some reason - a family.

Her form materialized, and wiping her eyes, she approached the small congregation. "A-Are you hu-hurt? What are.... what are you all doing here?" Her voice was shy and nervous.

She whimpered as the other ghost appeared, "You weren't the one who did all that?"
