Nightshift 45: Greenhouse Yard

Nov 25, 2009 01:46

( From here.Pulling Chris through the door, Sean nearly slipped on the grass as he ran barefoot across the yard outside the greenhouse. It was quiet--a strange and eerie silence that made Sean's skin crawl. He had a bad feeling about being outside. Like eyes were watching him run across the grass. Like he shouldn't be out here without something ( Read more... )

He could feel something warm and wet run down his chest and leg and Chris bit back another wince. His stiches had torn and now he'd get into even more trouble. Chis reached up and pressed his hand over his heart, feeling it pound as he peered through the darkness.

It really was only a matter of time before they were caught, but for some reason, something was telling him that it wasn't the crazy red-haired man they needed to worry about...

[Has caught up again from here.]

Well, that just about capped off the night. Artemis - the boy who was supposed to be a genius - had run headlong outside, at night, dragging Haku. While, unless Arty had gotten very good at hiding things from him, they were both still virgins and prime prey for whatever those bird-things were. And with Haku bleeding, or Schuldig's eyes weren't nearly as good as he knew they were.

It was the sounds that alerted it first, the footfalls on grass, whispering voices and furtive movements. What had truly caught its attention, though, was the scent of blood, sharp and crisp in the air. Still, at first it didn't move: for a moment it waited, nostrils flaring as it scented the air, ears swiveling about to listen to the pair in the yard ( ... )

Sean didn't dare speak when he heard Schuldig coming across the grass. His heart seemed to slow down, like he was a cornered animal without any means to fight back. What would happen now? What would Schuldig do to him? Torture him and Chris until Sean gave in? Carry him back to his room and corner him there? Kill him and Chris?

He clung tighter to Chris, as though putting himself between Schuldig and his friend would somehow save them both from whatever was happening. Pausing, he released Chris' shirt and looked at his hand. There was something wet and dark on his fingers. Something that smelled distinctly of blood. He'd run Chris so hard, Chris' stitches had opened and he was bleeding. He hadn't noticed that.

'He's injured.' Sean looked up and saw Artemis crouched on the other side of Chris. 'You've really done it now. Injured your best friend running away from your prob--...' Artemis cut himself off, falling silent. Sean recognized that look: Artemis heard something. The only question was, if it wasn't Schuldig he ( ... )
