Ethan escaped the grasps of the demon holding the knife to his throat as they fell. Everyone hit the ground with a large crash, even the tree that was caught. They were definitely going to have bruises.
Luckily for Ethan, his staff has come along with them. He grabbed it and sprinted to Crystal's side.
"Crystal, wake up." He said shaking her. She wasn't responding.
Some of the other had begun to walk inside the building.
"Why did you bring us her?" Ethan said, anger and confusion in his voice.
"Evander?" Aroura used his first name for the first time. "It hurts..."
Her head throbbed, her body ached and her eyes where white hot pain. She struggled to stay awake. She was terrified of what would happen if she lost consciousness.
Gabriel had flown Terminus back to the Lux complex and the pair immediately started calling in recruits.
Terminus gave orders in the flurry of activity around him as people began showing up. People of all sizes, colors, shapes and abilities flooded to complex in the next half hour.
Ethan was there and so was that woman. He called her Crystal so Aroura guessed that was her name. Ethan looked confused. Synthia was standing next to a man with his hand on her shoulder, protectively. Aroura noticed the four new people in the room. "Who are they? Are they Nox?"
'Can you here me Synthia?' A voice echod in her mind. 'Who are you?' She spoke in her head. 'It is I, Slender. I have a job for you sweet child' the voice said. 'Of course! Anything!' She replied. 'When the time is right, I will need you to go to a specific place and call for me. If this works, I will be able to come to you without my Proxxys leaving.' 'Ok Slendy, I'll do my best!' 'I know you will child.' Synthia's face appeared emotionless, and her eyes unfocused as she conversed in her mind.
Toby nodded and Aroura smiled weakly.
"So what happened?" She asked Evander. That's when Aroura remembered her vision. Suddenly terrified, she grabbed Evander's wrist. "No one was seriously hurt right? No one is dead?"
As Synthia left she was glad Evander didn't ask her to many questions. She wanted to do this on her own. She walked for several minutes before coming to a dense forest. Another few minutes, and she was in a large clearing. 'Stop here.' Slendy said. 'Are you ready to try a calling?' 'Yes, I'm ready.' She replied. 'Good. I will try to use my disruptive field to block the energy signal. That way Terminus won't find it'
"And we weren't trying to kill her just because of how she looks. She is dangerous, and she needs to be taken care of."
Ethan couldn't even escape if he tried. There was too many of them, he was outnumbered. If Crystal was conscious, maybe they would of had a chance to make a run for it. But right now, all he could do it wait. He gripped his staff tighter. He wasn't going to let go on his only weapon.
Aroura turned to Ethan. "Really? What danger is that? Taking care of guy who was trying to murder us? Last time I checked it was self defense. And Synthia can control her powers. Do any of these people look like they're going to go on a rampage?"
Point made, she looked back at Evander. "So, does anyone know who that guy was? Or why he attacked you?"
Ethan continued, "Oh, and neither does holding someone hostage. I actually used to like you, Locklear. But I suppose that is my own fault for trusting someone I just met. Any idea on when you will be letting us go, or are you just gonna wait till you get bored of us?"
She listened to Ethan vent but couldn't follow his meaning. What was wrong with her?
Aroura slumped back and closed her eyes. She was so tired. "John, that guy drugged me. Or at least I think it's a drug. I'm so tired. Is...it's nothing serious right?"
"Look, kid." Evander said, getting angry. "I'm not holding you hostage. If you want to leave, go! I only brought you two because I didn't want to get hit with an immediate air strike. We'll patch the girl up and send you on your way. Stop acting like we're the villains. You attacked us, we attempted to defend ourselves. So far we have had nothing but unprovoked threats and attacks by Lux since we got here. Now get off your high horse and figure that out."
'Sing child.' Slender said 'As you wish.' Synthia replied
Slender man, Slender man, all the children try to run. Slender man, Slender man, to him it's part of the fun! Slender man, Slender man, dressed in darkest suit and tie. Slender man, Slender man, you most certainly will die
"The Nox have kidnapped three of our own. We have to get them back. But we have to kill the chanter at all costs." Terminus began his speech. "Gabriel, lead a group from the skies. I'm going to lead the rest of you on the ground. We're going to surround the mansion. I'd like as little bloodshed as possible. Knock people unconscious."
Gabriel pulled a group of guys close. "There is a kid in a red trench coat. He kidnapped the girl I love. He is hurting her. Can I count on you to help me save her?"
The man nodded and Gabriel laid out his plan.
Slender man, Slender man, his branching arms are for collecting. Slender man, Slender man, his face is empty of expressing. Slender man, Slender man, he won't let you say goodbye. Slender man, Slender man, you most certainly will die!
As she sang a low hum of static filled the air as Slender blocked the power surge out, keeping others from feeling it.
Suddenly Crystal began to wake. Ethan ran to her side, "Crystal? Are you okay?"
"Yes. Where are we?"
"We're at the Nox Mansion. We were forced to come here. But we'll be leaving now." He said as he helped Crystal up.
The thing that attacked Ethan earlier began to speak, "Hm, are you we should let them go? Once they're gone, we lose all leverage we have."
Terminus arrived on the mansion grounds with his team. They had spread themselves around the mansion. He was going to rescue his fellow Lux. Gabriel was flying above the mansion with his group from the skies. He was going to save Aroura at all costs.
As Synthia sang something began to rise from the portal. It took her a moment to recognize it as the building she and Evander lived in with the others. 'We're bringing the house here?' Glancing at Slender she saw he was undergoing some kind of change. Instead of simply being a monsterous creature, he grew till he was at least 15-20 feet tall. His suit formed on him and the ragged hole in his face sealed, leaving nothing behind. He looked like his normal self now. When she finished her song, the house made a groaning noises as it settled on its new foundation.
