Something about the warm hand holding her own made Irina feel more comfortable. Reassured. She gripped tightly onto Gray’s hand, waved goodbye to the trio once more and headed back towards the direction in which she had come. Keeping one hand against the wall next to her, Irina led the girl to the sickening sight she had had to deal with on her own earlier. She kept her mouth shut the entire time, her lips making a scowl as she prepared herself for what was in front of them. Irina could already see the outline of the girl, laying not too far off on the floor. Taking her hand off of the wall, she plugged her nose and trekked on, although it didn’t provide much help. The stench was thick, it filled the halls and surrounded them. Irina could have sworn that she felt the decay hanging off of her skin. Nodding forward at Gray, she indicated at the dead girl and stepped to the side. 

Irina stood and watched Gray for a while, not wanting to get near the body again. This time, her stomach was handling the sight much better than before. Mixed with the smell of decay, the smell of her vomit from earlier still lingered in the staleness of the room.[color=0076a3] “I’ll go grab my things, I’ll be quick,”[/color] Irina told Gray before ducking into ‘her’ room. Taking a moment for one last look around, Irina was struck with disbelief. Her brain couldn’t wrap her head around the fact that this was real, this fucked up, crazy, situation was actually happening to her. It still all felt like a dream. In fact, Irina was pretty sure she had seen a movie like this a few years back; 13 Game of Death, the movie was about a person getting cryptic challenges that got harder and harder to complete as the movie progressed. She shook her head. No, it couldn’t be the same. Could it? 

In a moment, Irina snapped out of her thoughts and carried the box out towards the hallway. Gray was still searching the body. [color=0076a3]“Did you find anything?[/color]” Irina thought to herself that it would be unlikely the key would be out in the open. Or somewhere easy to find, for that matter. It could easily be hiding somewhere underneath the girl, or maybe even inside of her, seeing how she was ripped open. Irina shook her head, she didn’t want to think of having to poke around in there at all. She knew her stomach wouldn’t be able to handle that at all. She crouched on the floor and searched, maybe the key had fallen and been kicked out of the way somewhere.
