[quote=Caits] Penny went to duck out the room, but saw Nolan tackle the spirits. She frowned. She had assumed that when she picked up the staff, the spirits would disappear. She frowned, wondering what to do. Wondering if she was meant to do something. She planted her feet, and held the staff up, maintain her fire to keep the woman at bay, and stared at the staff, hesitating. "Begone?" She said, more asking then ordering. The spirits seemed to chortle at her, and she glared at them. What was wrong with her? She didn't ask for things, she demanded them! She worked her way into getting what she wanted and what she needed. She glared, and said, her voice authoritative and commanding "begone!" She vanished the staff at the spirits, and they disappeared. "Hurry up and get out of here! I can't keep the flames up forever you know!" She said, needing to get out, wanting to let the staff go. She didn't like it, didn't like the feeling of it in her hands, and she shuddered, but she couldn't go until Nolan had. [/quote] She didn't have to tell him twice. Nolan sprinted out of the room as fast as he could and glanced at her quickly with his cold eyes. "Thanks" was all that he would say to her before he would grab the staff that she holding and run with her along the building in hopes of exiting soon. What he felt from the staff was the most sinister and wicked feeling he felt. No wonder that old man wanted this back; it's dangerous and evil. The thought of destroying the staff did cross his mind.
