Soul Takers 2.0

"Uhg...fine then, climb onto my back." Riley said.

Mehra pushed herself up onto her knees then grabbed onto Riley trying to pull herself up onto his back

Riley helps her climb on.

[Well poo, I'm stuck]

Ignace went checking around the house, trying to find any sign of the dark presence he felt before.

Mehra held onto his shoulders tightly.

Riley started to climb up the walls.

Mehra helped by grabbing a few ledges on the wall to keep both of them up

[Haha, thanks Thok]

Kirin watched Ignace go, but didn't just want to leave Adri alone. She stood just a little aside to watch the two

Ignace walked back after checking the basement a second time. "Should we keep Alec and Adri on opposite ends of the house?" He suggested

Alec looked at everyone, one after the other. "If you want me to leave I will... I am afraid that it's quite possible he's still in my head. I don't want to put you all in danger."

Adri slowly moved out from behind Kirin and walked toward Alec hesitantly

Riley keeps climbing. 'Damn how deep is this thing." He snapped.

Kirin touched Amber's shoulder.

Amber looked over and nodded before looking back to Adri and Alec.

Kirin looked over at Ignace, "I want to see how this goes first," she said softly. "Did you sense anything?"

"Either there's nothing dark in this house anymore or I hit my head hard enough not to be able to sense it." Ignace replied.

"Pretty deep. We're almost there." Mehra replied

Kirin smiled softly and patted his head, "Well I'm sure you're alright"

Ignace smiled at her. "Whatever it was I hope it's not still in Alec's head."

Adri stopped a few steps from Alec and just stared for a moment. She then slightly smiled and ran toward him. She hugged him, "I th-thought you were d-dead...." She starts to cry a little.

Alec closed his eyes and hugged her back. He rubbed her back soothingly, "I know Adri... I'm sorry I never made it back. I couldn't find my way."

Kirin smiled, "I think he'll be alright for now"

Amber leaned against the wall

"That's good." Ignace said then leaned a bit closer to Kirin. "I'll keep an eye on him just in case." He whispered to her to Alec and Adri wouldn't hear

Kirin looked up at him and nodded, "Thank you" she whispered back. Her previously troubled eyes were calm and clear as she smiled up at him

"No problem. Everything seems fine now so I think I'll go rest a bit..." Ignace nodded back and walked towards the stairs.

Kirn reached for his hand and squeezed it gently, "If you need anything just let me know, okay?" she smiled sweetly

"Will do." Ignace nodded and smiled to her again. He went up the stairs quickly and she could hear his footprints leading to his room before it was silent.

Kirin smiled sweetly and sat on the stair way.

Amber sat beside her a moment later and nudged her teasingly.

Kirin just gave her a look and laughed

Riley kept climbing, hoping they would get there soon.

Once they were near the top, Mehra pulled herself off of Riley's back and up to the surface. She turned back around and offered Riley a hand.
