TW MENTIONS & DESCRIPITIONS OF DEATH

As the red alarms went off, Telum felt an urgency to hide as soon as he could.

He noticed lots of OCs traveling away and had his hand gently taken by Inkwell.

He allowed himself to be dragged a moment before he broke her hand off and hid in the shadows.

Surely wherever they were going, he could travel to later, however he wanted to watch from the shadows to see what was happening, a decision he would quickly regret.

As OCs cleared the room, Telum got to see statics very close by and watched in horror as he watched OC after OC dropped dead and got turned. Even Spade, while he fought well, found his end meet by the static that had taken Dixen and the static that ended up taking him.

Not wanting to watch any more, he tried to figure out where the others had gone, and followed after in the shadows, but he couldn't find them. He couldn't see them from any shadow, which scared him.

Everyone has a shadow, how can they just… disappear!

Telum hid deeply in the shadows, not knowing what to do.

After a few minutes of the fight dying down, he finally saw Puri. They didn't notice them at first, despite being a pink colored dog, they surprisingly were quite sneaky. He could barely see or hear them as they snuck past.

Not sure what they were doing, Telum kept watching. They must've been sneaking for a good reason, and he didn't want to watch someone else drop like the others.

As Puri left the room, Telum noticed three statics following them.

They all looked very familiar, he saw the static who had taken Spade, along with the one that took Dixen.
There were a couple other statics following behind as well, they had not seemed to catch hosts yet.

Telum got scared, he should warn Puri! But just as he was going to exit the shadows to warn them, they felt themselves get grabbed by the ankle.

Shocked, he tried to use the shadows to get away, bit the more he used them, the tighter the grip on his ankle got.

He looked around frantically as he suddenly got dragged across the shadowy room.

He heard the laughing of whatever had captured him as he tried to claw at the wall to get away.

“Mai… Mai, Quet ash fieshty pequen thingzz… Suy peqeun too… Ach ould almush chust toogel chen hite up…” The language they spoke sounded alien, almost like it came straight out of a TV screen.

Telum frowned at the voice, he still couldn't tell where it was coming from. It sounded like it came from all angles.

Telum kept trying to fight, he needed to escape, he felt his pulse as he tried to figure out what to do.

Suddenly he heard a loud roar.

Whatever had him stopped at the sound.

“Mai mai… quet nuw?!”

A sudden bright light turned on and Telum fell to the floor.

Telum tried to turn to the bright light where he heard growling, but the light was too bright to see who it was.

Telum wasn't sure which beast he wanted to face more… The one that had him, or the one that got rid of it…

“Telum, get behind me.” He heard a familiar voice shout out.

Telum took a breath and walked towards the growls.

As he passed the light, he was handed a flashlight.
