Marilyn remained where she was, a weird smell began to fill the air after a few minutes, her nose wrinkled in distaste as she shifts and moves to the edge of her bed. Rising to her feet and grabbing the gown closest to her, she moves toward her window and then away, swallowing and gagging she steps away and feels the world tilt and fade around her. Reaching hee bed and lifting the skirts until a familiar white python slithered into her lap, she soothed Eros' scales and brought his head close t her lips. "Go find...him...get away..." she manages to whisper before her throat closes and her limbs go numb, her eyes blink heavily as the smell seems to shift and increase. Trying to get to her feet only caused her stomach to churn and roll unpleasantly, she'd just managed to get to her feet when a hand yanked her hair and something cool was pressed against her skin. "You won't be able to move for a bit dear. Now shall we chat?" The voice that drifted into her hear mixed with the odd smell that filled her room, the press of the cool object against her pulse point had Marilyn's eyes blinking slowly in an effort to keep them open. "...how?" She grits out, her half-lidded gaze shifting to where Eros is slithering towards the door, rearing up and using his tail to unlock the door, he slithers out into the corridor. "I have my ways. Been breaking and entering since I was a lad, now shall we get to business?" The voice was soft, soothing as the cool metal seemed to caress her skin. Marilyn stiffened when it passed against the mark that connected her to Artemis. "What's this young lady?" He hummed against her temple, Marilyn jerked away from the metal as he began to trace the design, her stomach gave a lurch as her vision faded to black before returning. She felt heavy, dizzy and so tired. [i]Why..can't I move...[/i] she thought softly as her body gave a faint twitch as the blade -she vaguely recalled it from the point that ran against her skin- moved against the mark again. She wanted him to stop. [@pyroman]
