"What have you done?" Skitzs stared at the bloodied sword in her hand then at the nobody who was crumpled on the pristine, marble floor. The expression on his face shifted into one of fear then dread. He didn't know what to do, so he stared, stiff and with hands shaking. 

The girl before him was transfixed by the crimson blade in her hand, her eyes glazed over. "What...what have I done?" She approached Skitz and reached out a hand, but the butler recoiled, nearly stumbling over his own feet and too scared to say a word. Her hand tightened around the blade's hilt and Skitz yelled out for the bunny guards, for help. These humans were too far gone and maybe they were beyond saving. He and the Queen had did everything in their power to help them, but they were lost. 

Luke stared at the bloodied pipe in his hand, eyes blank and knees shaking. What had they become...why were they so angry? So full of hate? Nothing made sense anymore! He just wanted to scream and beat something, anything to a pulp. He didn't think twice, instead, he allowed his body to move as it pleased. He swung his arm sideways as the metal pipe connected with Skitz's jaw. 

The butler crashed into a wall, slumped, and brought a hand to his bloodied jaw. "Luke, Caitlyn...are you?" His red eyes widened, "are you still you?" The butler curled up against the wall, as he hugged his arms close. Perhaps the other nobodies were right, perhaps the humans really were evil. After all the queen had done for them, didn't they understand...the laws of Nowhere weren't like the laws of the human realm and while the Queen was in charge, she couldn't send them back. She couldn't even leave Nowhere if she tried, the list was the only way and they had to understand! They had to be reasonable! Fear brought anger, but what good would any of this do? What good would attacking and--was John the Flying Avocado dead? Oh, gosh...he wasn't breathing! Schizophrenia felt sick to his stomach and suddenly the humans he had enjoyed chatting with had become monsters in his sight.

"Y-You killed him!" Skitz wheezed as he kept a hand to his jaw.

"Yes," Luke's eyes were still glassy. "We did." He raised the pipe, but before he could strike something caught him in the shoulder. He dropped his pipe then stared at the carrot at the ground. So reinforcements had arrived? It was time to leave. ??? Continued staring at the floor, at the blood that surrounded the avocado guide. They were losing it, they were dangerous, they were becoming less human. Luke held onto her hand and before she knew it, they were running out the door.

The queen stared from down the hall, brows furrowed in worry and a frown on her face. "We can no longer save them."

Look for the impossible? Ace had the right idea, it was Nowhere after all.

"The impossible," he muttered, hoping that it wouldn't involve a flying shark that spewed acid or seaweed that tried to eat people. He shook his heads, willed the thoughts away then stared at the lake. It was less frightening during the day, pretty even, but still eerie. Jasper stared at the lake while Ace decided to go in, the moment the latter waded into the water Harper nearly protested. His heart did a panicky little jig in his chest, but he remained calm. There were three of them and it was day time, if anything went wrong...they could handle it, right? All the same, he cupped both hands around his mouth then called for the girl to be careful. For all they knew, something sinister could be lurking beneath the calm surface.

He held his breath, but Ace didn't go any farther and he let out a relieved sigh. Rocks and sand were better than sea monsters, but it wasn't a clue, it wasn't what they needed.

[b]"Any idea what could be here? Or what I should look for?"[/b]

He shook his head. "Maybe it really is a music box?" It was unlikely, but the thought of finding something that wouldn't try to behead them was nice, though deep down he knew it couldn't be that. A music box would have been too easy...too unlikely for a town like Yonder.

[b] "Don't know... Unless we're suppose to find the actual Siren... But that would be bad for everyone wouldn't it."[/b]

Not longer after Ace had mentioned a Siren, a sweet, childish voice filled the air. Harper froze, before jumping in place, eyes wide in terror. 

[center]Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.[/center]

He waited stiff, but for some reason the song had no effect. His eyes flitted towards a girl, floating on her back in the water--she was quite far from the shore.

She looked around 15, with translucent skin and lights in her hair. She continued singing, her voice astoundingly beautiful, but not bewitching. He looked from Ace to Jasper a hesitant smile lighting up his face. Perhaps their search wasn't doomed. "Hm, maybe she knows something?"
