Burned on [Complete]
Characters: Mio Amakura, Zetsu
Setting: Cemetery, just after night has fallen
Time: Night 005
Summary: Mio and Zetsu explore the catacombs by chance and what they find is more than a little unsettling. Sadly, there are no explosions.
Warnings: None.
Mio was no longer sure why dunking into the catacombs had seemed like a good idea.
Investigating the mother's study had once again revealed that there was no longer a mother or a child to be seen either in that room or the nursery. It was a small relief, but one that was easily overshadowed by the sickening sounds now coming from the hallowed space behind the wall. There were definitely wails and then the crunching and gulping, it almost made it sound like...like...
She tried not to think of it as she pulled him along. The lack of lighting (and the malice - she had to wonder if she hadn't been touched by the Darkness, she was so sensitive to it...) only served to add to her growing paranoia, but she at least her flashlight was still functional and her camera's filament existed solely to inform her of ethereal threats. It did it's job well, even now, as she caught sight of a dim blue glow as they grew closer to the graveyard, something that was startling enough to her to where she ran forward without saying anything to her companion. She had the tendency to check with him first, but they could be so fleeting that she didn't tend to think about it.
She did, however, stop short as she caught sight of them, shifting her camera to her opposite hand and raising the camera. It was awkward to maneuver the zoom with one hand, but she managed to do so and snap the photograph as she slowly, hesitantly approached the group, hopefully with Zetsu close behind...
