The door didn't open. Ace tried again and frowned at the result. The door was locked. "Crud. So, slight problem. Just a small one." She turned, only to face the sight of something forming behind them. "Okay... maybe a big problem." She moved out the way so the guides could struggle with the door. "Anyone know how to subdue. . . Dead things?" Her sword flickered as the amulet started to drain. With the candles on, her sword went out and she lit her candle using the one Brandy was holding. 

When Inadi took a step forward, yelling out, Ace raised an eyebrow. She was going to say something, but the door was forcibly opened. "Alright, out we go! We'll thank Inadi later!" She pushed literally everyone out, and herded them like cows before turning to Inadi. "Come on you dope! You wanna be a hero, help us find that sword." She couldn't help the small laugh at the thought of Inadi becoming one of the 'heroes' in the worse case scenarios. Kind of like Harper. "Besides, that thing is going to follow us around the house anyway." Before she turned, she noticed Leila panicking and run right into Inadi. She turned when Riley spoke up, her attention turning completely. She saw Haku handling it and was sure they'd be behind them.

[Quote=Riley] "Hey Ace, let's light things up!"[/img] 

"Heh, alright. But you gotta keep up!" She once again pulled out her sword and helped the light the way. The two ran ahead keeping the place bright enough for them to see. She skidded to a halt when Riley mentioned they were missing two people. "What part of follow don't they understand?" Before Ace's sword went out, she lit her candle. "Alright you two, we're going back to get everyone. Can you guys keep the lights up?" Before the guides could answer, she was running after Riley. 

"Hold on Riley! You can't just run into the middle-" She looked around seeing all three of their buddies on the floor. "Gosh guys, you can't just lay around. We all have work to do!" She teased as she went to help Inadi and Leila. "Riley! Hey, are you-" One of the tendrils hit her unexpectedly and she was sent backwards, bumping into Brandy. "Ow. . ." Ace rolled onto her stomach and sat up. "That kind of hurt. . ."

She squinted as the lights flickered on and she put the hilt of her blade away and stood slowly, only to be faced with the the writing on the wall. "To the library? Aw, lucky. . .The other team got the sword first." She helped Haku up and then looked to the guides, and then the group. "Heh... See? Nothing to worry about. We will be perfectly fine. Now let's hurry to the library. . .Before other things start happening." 

She glanced back where the Midnight Man had been only moments before. But since he was gone, Ace relaxed and hurried with the others to the library.
