Night 48: Church (Ruins)

Apr 05, 2010 23:14

[from here]The heavy door seemed to drag as Anise slowly pushed it open, and the girl cringed at the scraping noise it made. To add to her uneasiness, there was a familiar, repugnant smell in the air, though she couldn't recall what it was right away ( Read more... )

Tenzen scowled at the scraping noise the door made as it opened, as it was practically announcing their arrival to whatever lay in wait. But as he followed the girl inside this so-called 'church', he noticed that those laying in wait weren't quite among the living. A large amount of skeletons were within the room, at the very least explaining the absence of people in the town itself. Some were sitting upon the benches, others simply lay on the floor.

The ninja's reaction was decidedly more stoic than that of his companion, though surprise briefly crossed his features he quickly regained his composure. He refrained from commenting on Anise's exclamation. Had she truly expected to find anything living out here? How naive ( ... )

Anise wished she could say this was the first time she'd seen so many dead bodies in one place. However, that didn't mean she was used to the sight. The girl backed away from the skeleton in front of her, worrying for a moment that it might jump up and attack, like the corpses in Doyleton had.

A sickening crack that sounded beneath Anise's foot caused the girl to freeze with dread. She pointed the flashlight, its beam unsteady, at the ground to reveal another body: this one laying on the floor with an arm stretched outward into the center aisle. She had just crushed a person's fingers, or what was left of them ( ... )

The writing seemed to have been done in blood if it's color and the many stains upon the floor were anything to go by. He couldn't quite tell to whom it had been directed, however. Certainly, the one responsible for this...curious massacre.

It would seem Anise hadn't been able to tell either, and she gave him a look. Tenzen merely shook his head, as there was no shame in admitting that he didn't know. "Both could refer to various people," he said. "Perhaps they refer to the head doctor, though that still leaves another person."

If the first person was the Head Doctor, then the second could be...

"What about that man from the radio? The Head Doctor used to always talk like he knew him really well," Anise suggested. He said something about being betrayed by him, too... not that Anise believed anything either of those two said. The Head Doctor and the people on the radio both spent their time leading people into deadly traps. Neither of them could be trusted for anything.

After a moment, Anise sighed. "Well, that's if it has anything to do with them, anyway." It seemed like it'd be a little too convenient if the people referred to by the bloody message turned out to be two people Anise knew, but at the same time, she really wouldn't put it past the Head Doctor to do something this horrible. And while she still couldn't guess at how all these people were killed, she was sure that he was capable of doing it ( ... )
