PKMN-SKIES | Scare Tactics

Dekolamp:

In the deep of the night the blue flames around the old creaky house welcome a new face. Followed by a long drawn whimper the entrance begs the visitor to come closer.

Selenethewerewolf:

Piper creeps from the wood, toward this creepy, old house. Neh.. She whimpers softly and walks toward the house. Standing in the doorway, trying to ignore the blame flames that begins to create a face.

Dekolamp:

The face of the flames turn into a wide smile before suddenly ceasing to be. The door opens as if pushed by wind, leading Piper into the large Main Hall.

It is filled to the brim with faceless wooden dolls wearing the most fancy costumes reminding of a few hundred years back. Standing there as if to celebrate the arrival of their guest of honor

Selenethewerewolf:

"Not creepy, not creepy." She chants to herself as she creeps into the house as the door opens. "Eh, why am I alone.." whines softly to herself. She dares not to look at the dolls.

Dekolamp:

If Piper does dare to look around she can find an open door further on. Light shines through it as the main hall itself begins to darken. Faint cracking can be heard.

Selenethewerewolf:

Peek upwards and sees some light filter through a door. Avoids looking at the dolls, but hurries to the door. Maybe it was a quick exit?

Doodlydoda:

The door was found jammed no way to budge it, just her luck.. it had to be like this, there was a breeze passing through from where? who knows..

The wooden dolls suddenly a light lit on them as they start to dance, she could hear heavy footsteps above her or was it coming from the stairways.. This place was big, who knows whats in store in the mysterious beyond..  it might contiain unknown creatures

Selenethewerewolf:

Nope, she doesn't want to look. Not at the crazy dolls flying around as they begin to light up. Running back through the house in some random direction she tried to open any door she can find. None of them would budge. When she hears the footsteps, she stifles a scream and darts under the stairwell and stays as quiet as possible.

Doodlydoda:  

She heard the footsteps come closer as it goes down the stairwell though until he fell through one of the steps, landing right besides the stairwell Piper was hiding in.. there was not much lights to see clearly of what had fallen in right in front of her

"Ow.. damnit.." Came Stream's voice dazed from that fall.

Selenethewerewolf:

"Stream?" Tears were brimming in her eyes, but thanks to low lighting no one could see them. "Stream, what are you doing here?" Thank goodness she wasn't alone now. Slowly she comes out from under the stair well and stands beside him, looking him for to make sure he wasn't hurt.

Doodlydoda:

Stream murmured under his breath though she couldn't hear what he said.. but it was a line of cursing and how that plan didn't work out as he thought.. though he could go with it, rubbing his head. "Oww.. Oh! Piper! Was that you that slam the door shut?" he looked to the entrance door, "What happened?"

Selenethewerewolf:

"No, wasn't me. I thought I was here alone." Glancing back at the door, she wrapped her arms around herself. "This house seemed to beckon me inside, but when I came in the door slammed behind me. I haven't been able to find a way. A-and there are these creepy dolls!"

Doodlydoda:

"I was here for awhile now.." he simply said, "At least those things.. got us together huh?" he beamed at Piper as he slowly sits up from where his spot, he laughs at how terrified she looked from the creepy dolls. "Don't worry.. I'm here! I can fight.. those.. things.. eheh." he scratches his head sheepishly, he hopes Rika would go easy on them..

Selenethewerewolf:  

"Oh? So we are both trapped.." She was a bit uneasy. She didn't like this place, even if she was with Stream. "But, they are ghosts we can't ghosts. You came from upstairs, what was up there?" Trying to get her mind off the ghosts.

Doodlydoda:  

"I guess.. we are.." Stream stated, "Uh.. maybe if we use... salt and candles it will scare them off!" raising a finger up as if that was some good idea, "Yeah I was.. running away from some of them.. well I heard noises.. and came running.. then heard some door slam, I thought it was my chance.."

Selenethewerewolf:

"Salt.. Yes, we need salt!" She said excitedly, grabbing his hand and pulling him in a direction she only hoped was toward the kitchen. "Do you have any idea how long you've been in here?" Surely she hoped she would not be trapped in here forever. Trapped forever in a house of ghosts, she'd die.

Dekolamp:  

The kitchen door was on the opposing side to the room, behind the flying dolls. Still dancing, distracted enough with themselves they hung up in the air for the two of them to casually go underneath undisturbed.

A looming flat shadow of a dressmaker's mannequin now stood up, freely in the air, at the beginning of the stairs, vaguely pointing in their direction. Twitching.

Doodlydoda:

Stream was pulled by Piper to wherever she is planning to go which was the kitchen, "I guess about an hour.. or was it half an hour?" tapping his chin in thought, "What about you?- What is that?" he spotted some shadow right the top of the staircase as he points, he grimace at how it was twitching.. that was creepy.

Selenethewerewolf:

"Only just got here." she said, then frozen when a shadow loomed in front of them. She didn't want to look, she didn't. She had to though. Daring herself to look she peered up the stairs. On the top of the stairs, staring..? down at them was a mannequin, it's hand pointed at them. Piper was sure Stream could hear heart beat. It was pounding a million miles an hour. "Wh-what do you want?" she whimpered at the ghostly mannequin.

Dekolamp:

Swiftly moving the arm, pointed forward, to the side towards the kitchen door that in the very same moment sprung open with a bang.

"Your life, dear~"

The light narrowed, the room growing darker with only a light spot above the two "Don't get caught~" with that increasing rustling noises can be heard. No flying dolls above them anymore.

Doodlydoda:

Stream jumps in his place, boy that did catch him good.. then looked to the mannequin just pointing at them.. "You know point is rude." he stated, then leaned down next to Piper's ear.. and whispered. "I'm going to eat you.." in a deep dark tone to frighten her, extends his hands and wiggles his fingers over the other one's sides just to give her the creeps. "WOOO~" he mused.

Selenethewerewolf:

Piper was beginning to feel faint as the mannequin answered her. And of course, Stream was not helping as he whispered in her ear and wiggled his fingers. It took all of her energy to squeak loudly and run forward to the kitchen, just to get further away from the creepy mannequin.

When she reached the kitchen, she had to put a hand on the counter, but ended up on the floor on her knees. Her body was shaking so hard, she could hardly breathe. She felt like she was about to have a heart attack.

Dekolamp:

The kitchen was well lit, with nothing unusual inside. No dolls. No walking, pointing mannequin shadows. The rustling of the dolls outside however was looming dangerously close. Wherever the shadow is they would be.

The light in the hallway the two came from was completely gone and the light in the kitchen seemed to dim. They had to move. Or get caught. " Opposite of the kitchen door, is the one towards the second hall

Doodlydoda:

"Piper!" Stream called after her watching her go, didn't she realize it was just him.. man the poor girl is just to terrified.. was this worth it? He should check on her it was for the best.. ducking his way before any of those looming dolls could touch him, he looked back behind him to investigate if anything was behind him following but found nothing, so he came to a halt where Piper is.

"Piper you ok? Everything will be alright.. I'm here." he tried to reassure her, reaching to her hand and hold it.

Selenethewerewolf:

Piper was breathing heavily and fast. She felt as if she couldn't catch her breath. The pain in her chest was becoming a throbbing ache. In a few seconds, she realized she left Stream to the mannequin. Before she could get up, he was at her side.

"St-stream, I..I don't think I can move.." The rattling of the dolls made her throat close and her hand gripped his  hand tighter.

Dekolamp:  

The kitchen door, as soon as Stream steps insides, closes quickly and without a bang this time. If they would try they could not open the door and faint scratching and rustling can still be heard. Only one way left, in case they decide to move.

Doodlydoda:

"W-what..?" Stream blinks once he approached her in the kitchen, this is bad.. this wasn't going as he was planned.. watching her grip onto his hand so tight.. aww she is such a small fry.. that needs to be protected.. as he pats Piper's head to try and comfort her, "Don't worry.. everything will be ok."

Selenethewerewolf:  

When the scratching began back at the door, she whined softly, both hands now gripping Stream's hand. Her body was visibly shaking, even with Stream's soft words of comfort. Piper closed her eyes tightly, as if trying to summon strength. If they got caught what would happen?

Exhaling deeply, shooting air from the top of her head, she tried to stand. Using Stream as an anchor, she managed to stand, albeit on shaky legs. "Wh-where sh-should we g-go?"

Dekolamp:  

There is only one more door behind the table. Unless they'd prefer going back to the room before. The door is a gab wide open, light flickering light shining through.

Doodlydoda:
: Stream takes Piper's hand as he spot the direction they need to go.. or so the 'ghosts' or house leading him where to go.. obviously, "Well.. the only door that's open.. that one." he gestures with his head forward and pushes Piper in front for her to feel reassured nothing will come up behind her, "Let's go."

Selenethewerewolf:  

Piper gave an audible whine as she stared at the only remaining open door. Never ever was she going to give into her curiosity. Arecus, just let her survive this. Her and Stream had to survive right? She couldn't make it as ghost! When Stream grabbed her hand, warmth floods through her. A small wave of strength enough to get her moving. "O-okay." With a weak mentality she takes the lead, but was sure to hold firmly on Stream's hand as he walked behind her.

As they passed through the doorway, she looked for an immediate exit.

Dekolamp:  

As they pass the door, the light in the kitchen goes out instantly, followed by the shattering of glass as if something just crashed the light bulbs. A light over Piper pops on, barely reaching Stream, as a black mass gathers behind them. It grabs the feraligatr and tries to drag him into the darkness.

The light over her head keeps moving, she would have to decide whether to help him or run.  The next door was jst around the corner

Doodlydoda:  

Stream looked back into the kitchen just when they walked out of it, to see what was the noise all about.. hoping none of the broken glasses or light bulbs.. up and decided to jump at them from behind, "Keep going." he turned as he encourages Piper.

Feeling something creep behind him and starts pulling him, that caused him to jump and lets out, "EEH!"

Selenethewerewolf:  

Piper was on the verge of tears when the light bulbs shattered. The light above her flickered and she gripped tighter on Stream. And when that large shadow stood up above them, tears sprang up in her eye. Stream could feel her body visibly shaking.

When the shadow grabbed him, she could only hold onto him. "Stre-Stream, I'm not letting you go!" It was probably because she couldn't. If she let him go, she'd shattered into a million pieces.

Doodlydoda:

Stream looked over his shoulder to see what was holding onto him but he couldn't tell it was to dark, "Ack! Piper I think you need to run!" Stream looked upwards, placing a hand over Piper's shoulder to keep her calm.

Dekolamp:  

The darkness creeps further, completely swallowing Stream, muffling his sounds. With a big 'sploosh' the dark draws closer to Piper, grabbing her hand and arm It's a cold and sticky mass, if Piper pulled strong enough she still could struggle free.

SeleneTheWerewolf:

The darkness swallowed up Stream, along with her hand that was gripping onto him. Then, that dark mass reached out to her. The black mass was tangible! It was cold and sticky. A chill ran painfully up her arm and down her back. Piper suddenly felt sick and light headed. "Ngh.." It was as if the blackness had swallowed up her too. There was a loud thud as her body hit the floor. Piper was out cold..

Dekolamp:  

Silence. The black mass stopped flowing and winding and fell flat on the ground, slowly. Waiting and slowly getting back off from Stream. "Chicken. Chicken can you check on her?" stated flatly and in great concern.

Doodlydoda:

Stream blinks and looks ahead of him, “Oh jeez.. We went overboard with her?” he quickly moved next to Piper and check on her pulse or breathing, “She’s breathing.. But out cold.. We gotta take her to the doctor..” he lifts the whale in his arms, “Let’s go.” he dashes out of the haunted house, luckily the hospital was not to far from them.

Both Doublade and the feraligatr made a Mad dash in taking poor Piper to the doctor, they hoped she was alright, guilt and worry was shown in their features..

The End
