(If anyone can suggest a better title, please do!) Alexa- I never expected to hear news like this. That poor elderly lady! I was sitting next to Darryl (it's still impossible to say dad) as he told me this. I was horrified. Plus, there were only the three of us here. Unfortunately everyone else was busy. "I just wanted to tell you..." He began, but I raised my hand.
"It's okay." I replied. "We'll handle this."
"Don't expect me to leave." He told me, defiant.
"That's exactly what I expect. We will be okay. Plus, you could get really hurt. Go back to your wife." I told him. I saw him flinch and I felt like a stranger intruding on his life.
"Fine." He told me. "But I'm staying nearby."
I sighed as he left, walking through the house to find the others and investigate what was going on.

Sam- I walked down the street when I heard a mew behind me. "Luna!" I sighed, turning around. The white and ginger cat purred up at me, her yellow eyes unblinking. I picked her up and paused. I was supposed to meet the others at the manor, I didn't have time to take her back home. Sighing, I headed towards the manor, the purring Luna in my arms. She could stay there, no one would have problems with that. (they are supposed to meet at the manor right?)

Antony-
Phoebe had told me the gist of what was going on, but it didn't make any sense to me. I had just sat there dumbly, as though none of it phased me, when in reality, my mind was reeling. I could tell she was worried about me, but everything would be alright, I assured her.
I was laying on the bed contemplating the words still. Honestly, I couldn't see why the others would need me. I couldn't control my own powers, after all. Hopefully, this disturbance would be something petty, and there would be no need to worry. Then again, Halloween was a perfect time for horrible things to come out, so I wasn't keeping my hopes up.
Sighing, I got up off my bed and left my room to look for someone else to talk to about this. I was scared, sure, but I figured that we had some sort of chance in a group, even if I couldn't do much to help. I wished my sister were here, because she's one tough girl, but alas, I rarely seem to get what I want.
(ha ha, Antonin is such a pessimistic guy, oops! Also, sorry for late post. I didn't have much time, and I kept forgetting to post! )

Alexa- I stared at the map as I realized I didn't know what I was scrying for! I decided to consult the book of shadows and find a demon that sucked the life force of humans or witches or whatever, since I had no clue who the elderly lady was. I jumped at the scratching on one of the mansion's windows. Why did halloween and demons have to be so scary? It had been a while since I phoned everyone, so I hoped they would get there soon. I didn't know how much longer I could be here by myself. (Eagle- Yep, we meet at the mansion. (Z- it's fine for the late post, you made it on halloween anyway!)

Sam- "I'm here!" I shouted loudly as I entered the manor, still holding Luna. "Sorry, brought a little, friend. She wouldn't stay at home." I dropped her to the ground and, with a purr, the cat strolled off into the house. Rolling my eyes, I walked into the room where Alexa was. "Hey! So, find out anything about our demon boy?" I paused. "Or girl, or whatever they are." I took a seat on one of the chairs, smiling.

Antony-
Alright, screw this. No one's home. How could I have forgotten that? My memory these days, sheesh. Looking in the driveway, I saw that there were no vehicles around either. "Great. Well, there's no way I'm walking. Looks like I'm taking a taxi," I mutter to myself, picking up the phone to call.
About 15 minutes later, the taxi has me escorted to where I need to be. 'Hope I'm not too late!' I think. I knock on the door before entering. "Uh, so...what's going on?" I ask once I see them.
(crappy post is crappy, sorry. It'll get more normal next post!)

Alexa- "Well, the book is giving me a run around. There's a thing here called the sleepwalker that sucks the life force out of people, witches, whatever it can. But that's all it talks about. I don't think our ancestors knew much about it." I told them. "We should go investigate the crime scene, maybe get a piece of skin to scry for it. We should also write a spell to at least give us time to escape if we need it. Have any suggestions?" (Sorry, really detailed but important. Just so you know the book of shadows in the menu may not always match up with the one in the role play so that we can fill it out a little and be part of history! And z, love the avatar!)

Sam- I shrugged. "Hey, I'm pretty good at making things up as I go along. I'll see if I can come up for something. It'd be easier if I knew more about them though." Luna gave me a small, reow(my aunt's cat used to do this all the time. xD) and trotted off into the house. "Anyways, if we find a piece of skin or something, how are we to be sure it is from the creature and not a victim? I'd rather not get super close to a demon that could suck my life force out." I made a grossed out face and a pretned grimace before my usual grin returned.

Alexa- "According to the book..." I skimmed through the passage again. "A sleepwalker can look human but if a piece of skin falls off or an appendage that area basically transforms back to the scaly skin of the demon. It's tough and nearly unbreakable." Great. Maybe that's why our ancestors didn't mess with it. "Even if we don't find skin there's probably something we can use. Otherwise we would have to wait for it to come to us." I looked at Sam and Antony. "Let's hope it doesn't come to that." I felt really nervous and anxious about this. "Sam, do you think you can give us a ride?"

Sam- I am beaming. "Of course!" Then I paused. "Do you mean orbing wise or driving wise?" I then add. I adjust my hat slightly. Suddenly, Luna come streaking by my feet, hissing. Her fur is tuffed up in her anger and she runs towards the door, giving a loud yowl of anger. I walked over behind her. "Hey Luna, what's got your tail in a not." she stops hissing to look at me then glares at the door.

Antony-
I just stand there, soaking it all in. Really, these sleepwalker things didn't sound very pleasant. Lately I've been seeing the color black a lot lately, but heck if I know what that's supposed to mean. Finally, I decide to speak up. "So...we're going to the scene of the crime? Are we even allowed to do that?" It seemed like the only way to catch this thing, but at the same time, what were the chances of some skin falling off. Better to look and find something than not look and get stuck with a monster on the loose though.

Alexa- I felt Sam's cat-Luna- give off some serious vibes, like she wanted to attack the door. "I think whatever we're looking for is here..." I began, then I heard two knocks on the door followed by silence. That's when the voice came.
"I'm here to fix your plumbing." It snarled. I stared at the others in horror. We didn't know how to vanquish these things.
"Don't open the door you guys." No sooner had I begun when it busted through the door, in human form. But I could somewhat see through it's disguise, as if the creature was overshadowing it's human form.
"Do you see it?" I breathed.

Sam- "No, but I feel it." she said angrily. Luna hissed furiously and latched herself to the creature's leg, digging her claws in and snarling. Sam looked at the others. "Time to get the Book." She grabbed them each by thier shoulders and orbed them up into the attic. "Ok, we have like five minutes top before that creature gets up here." she said, panting slightly. She wasn't the greatest at orbing others yet.

Antony-
'Alright, this really, really, REALLY sucks,' I thought to myself. It had all happened too fast for me to really comprehend what the heck was going on, before I saw that were in the attic. "Five minutes?" I echoed. "That's not very long. What are we going to do?" I was honestly scared out of my mind and just wished my sisters or mom was here. They would be way better at this than me. The fear wasn't allowing me to think very quickly. What happened to the old times when Halloween was all about dressing up and eating candy? The first step would be to find the weakness of the creature, I guessed, but I doubted the book had that information for us.

Alexa- "Um, give me a sec to think. What if we tried to get a piece of skin and make a potion? Antony, you're good at throwing right? Take a knife and try throw it to snag some skin. Then we'll run." I looked around. "Great. It looks like Piper took the knives to the kitchen to be cleaned. You two go get some and I'll distract it." I quickly grabbed some herbs that would be used to vanquish upper level demons (we don't know what type of demon this is) and stuffed them into my wallet. "If we get seperated let's try to meet at Antony's house." I said as I shifted into my panther form, saluting them with a wave of my tail and running to distract the thing. I had noticed the reaction the creature had when Luna attacked it. I decided that maybe a cat would be the best distraction. (How's this? We're getting lots of action! Hey Eagle, is Luna like Kit in the show? Like a guardian that sticks around until she is released I believe or isn't needed?)
