Spider

Dominique pulls out from the corner running as fast as he can, "Be ready!"

Christian holds tightly to Dominique he skids out keeping a decent pace running, Alice catches on to them in the distance, a sound wave causes Dominique and Christian to cover their ears.

Alice dunks down crying out, "What is going on, what is this sound?"She yells.

Christian covers one ear hobbling off Dominique's back, Alice is almost fully paralyzed by the sounds to notice him get behind her, he grabs her by the face.

She barely fights back when Christian grabs her face concentrating on returning Alice back to her former self, "Please remember me, Alice..."

Dominique holds a stance in case Alice acts out, she becomes limp in Christian's hands; he sighs in relief, "She will be okay Dominique..."

"Oh good, but aren't we missing someone?" Dominique asks himself, Christian becomes anxious squeezing tight to the bite spot.

Alice comes to, Christian winces closing his eye, "Christian...where are we?"

"The whole clan is dead Alice..." Dominique says, "Christian is trying his best."

She leaps onto Christian hugging him, "Christian...you look so sickly."

Hiding how dizzy he was using the eye, he looks up while the sound subsides, his cheeks were almost rosy due to losing strength, "Chara is out there, we have to save her too Alice..."

"Let's go then if we need to find Chara then!" Alice replies happily, pulling Christian up from the ground; Christian's legs buckle under him.

"I just need sleep, Lady Alice..." Christian replies, Dominique catches Christian falling backward, Alice notices how where his hand is.

Unbuttoning his top they see Quinn's bite, it had spread halfway down his chest, his eyes glitter closing with tears brought on by the pain, "We can't have him use his eye anymore Alice."

Alice helps Dominique load Christian on his back, but not before taking off his jacket laying it on top of Christian's shoulder, "I will deal with Chara alone..."

"Dominique, she is a magick user though, will we be able to fight her?"

"There is also the twin if I remember right."

"I can...help Chara..." Christian whispers, Alice pats his head amused by his self-righteous nature.

"Go to sleep, you need rest and we need to get out of here, "Alice adds.

"Alice, look I am sorry about how I acted in the past."

"I understand, no worries as I already knew..."

"Is that your ability as the new sword?"

"It sure is!" Alice chimes, they decide to walk slowly taking their time; everything is covered in webs and darkness almost impossible to see if one were human.

They stroll what comes off as long time, the closer they get the sounds of roars and cries to reverberate, the ground they stand on rattle with an intensity.

Coming forward they see Alex locked in a fight with a large bulbous spider at least seven times bigger than him; his book lays open on the ground.

Alice holds her hands to her face shocked to see the floor-lined bodies, "Alex!" Alice shouts, her eyes fixed upon watching him pummel the tremendous beast.

Dominique blocks her from going further, "There is something wrong with him."

Quinn runs over to them concerned, "It's Alex, he is possessed!"

They notice Chara and Quell knocked out on the floor, Dominique inhales and exhales before smiling, "Thank goodness Chara is okay..."

"I need you to take Christian for a little bit Alice please...this is my mess and it is time I clean it up," Dominique says, Alice takes the jacket off Christian lying him on the ground, folding the coat to place under his head.

"Of course...please do your best out there."

He sprints out tearing into his palm, "Avic, you don't want him. You want me!"

Alex twists his head angrily to notion Dominique away, "You are a fool, Dominique!"

"You are Elijah's demon in that body aren't you?"

"Please be quiet!" Alex reprimands as he parries Avic's next attack, Dominique swings his blood out; Avic cries out as the blood burns her skin.

The hairs on her legs turn patchy, she howls in pain; her feet trample in a bid to scare them, but they hang tight to the ground.

"We must fight together to win Dominique, you trust me this time?"Alex asks, Dominique only nods belting his next barrage of needle-like threads lashing into the skin of the creature.

"Please trust me this time Alex..."
