Argoeux's Viewpoint:

"Ughhh, what do I do?!? What do I do?!?"

With the repmuj, right behind me I was surely running out of time.

"We can think this through!" I hollered back at him.

Obviously, no answer.

I began to run out of words to say and with every step I took, he kept getting closer.  Damn, why did he have to be so skinny?! It's UNFAIR!

"Huhuhuhuhu, can, huhuhuhuhu, we settle this?!?!?!?!" I said with bated breath.

And the only thing that came out of his mouth was a deep, threatened:

"KILL."

"I'll take that as a No."

As I rushed quickly towards the dining hall, I hid behind one of its concrete walls. I had to think of something and fast! I needed to warn someone or else its going to be the end of me. Suddenly, everything went quiet. The only thing I could hear were my breathless pants. And his soft whispers, began to ring in my ears.

"Come out, come out where ever you are... A r g o e u x."

I was shocked.

"How could he have known me?!? I didn't even know him!"

A slow chill ran down from the back of my spine every time he would say my name.

"Oh Argoeux. Argoeux. Argoeux. You know we can do this the easy-way, or the hard-way... You wouldn't want me to get messy now would you?"

I had to get some help. I tried to subtly get pass him, but it was no use. It was as if he could hear my every move.

"I needed to get pass him, but the question is, how?"
"Hmmm, maybe, maybe it could work!"
I said to myself.

Since he was so drawn to sound, I might be able to come up with a distraction and plan my escape route. I just needed something big and loud.

I promptly grabbed the nearest chair and hastily plopped it by my side. I tried my best to carry it and heave it across the room, as far as possible. And with a loud and successful plop, it drew the repmuj to the other side.

This was my chance!

I made my way to the other exit and slowly locked the door behind me. This will give me enough time to go find help. The door now began to bang and before I knew it, just beside my right shoulder, a blade punctured right through the door.

"Okay, maybe, little time..."


Nathas Viewpoint:

"Run AFTER HIM!"

We can't let anyone escape. I want HIM dead.

With all this manipulation happening, my brain was starting to ache.

"Ugh, I knew these things would have its defects."

But, nonetheless, I had control. It was just a few minor setbacks. From here, I could see everything. The only thing I have to worry about now... is time. It's of the essence and nothing will get passed me.

"HURRY puppet, PICK UP THE PACE!!!" I scolded right back at him.

Argo was taking the repmuj someplace that I haven't seen before.

"HA, it seems like I have the upper hand."

Judging by the design and the vastness of the walls, if memory serves, he led him into the dining hall. The whole place was surrounded by concrete pillars and my personal favorite was the touch of full darkness.

"This is where it ends, Argo."

I clearly knew that where he was . All I needed to do now was to play a little game of hide-and-seek.

"Where's the fun if I just killed him straight on from there? And besides, I want to do it as silently and quickly as possible. I want to leave my artwork hanging-up for the others to see tomorrow morning. Ooooo what joy it will bring them!!!"

"Come out, come out where ever you are... A r g o e u x."  Ely whispered-out.

"Oh Argoeux. Argoeux. Argoeux. You know we can do this the easy way, or the hard way. You wouldn't want me to get messy now?"

"HAGGHAGGG!!! AHHHH!" I was running out of god-dammed time! The connection was starting to disappear.

"AHHHH!!! HURRY UP YOU BASTARD!! AGGHHHH!!!!" I cried out. "Just a bit more time, I ALMOST HAVE HIM!

Because of the spell, he slowly started to wander-off. My brain was loosing contact and my commands weren't as strong enough as before. 

I MUST HAVE ARGOEUX!!
NO ONE CAN EVER KNOW!!!!

With the presence of his scent gone, I knew that he has sneaked passed by me. The door was locked from the outside. I had to break it down! Fortunately, Argoeux was very smart enough to leave the other two big-gaping doors open from the other side.

"That big blithering buffoon hasn't learned has he? THIS IS SO DELIGHTFUL!!!" I said running of the other direction.
