I have an idea where such a thing is." Britney said. She harkened back to when she was searching the basement and found scrape marks on the ground. If there was a tunnel to the barn to the garage, perhaps there's a tunnel that goes from the house. If the tunnels are clear. "Let's go!" Britney shouted as she ran to the basement door, and noticed a few bees, beetles, and wasps floating around in the suspended time. Britney's hand was coated in a wheat colored light and thin wooden spikes came outwards and impaled all the insects floating in mid air just in time for the time to resume. Once everyone was in, Britney closed the door, and placed her hand on the stairs, and created a massive root that filled the crack under the door. Afterwards, Britney ran down the stairs and pointed at the wooden shelf that she noticed was peculiar. "Guys, move this. I think the hatch would be here." Claire stepped down the stairs holding Justin, and then gently placed him down on the floor. "Hey Penny," Claire said as she rubbed her hands together. "Ask your bro what his group is up to - what any plans they're cookin' up so we don't run in there and fuck it all up."

Hagan scoffed at Billy's comment. Seemingly to go along with Lynette's idea, because any idea is an idea. It was probably up to Lynette to come up with some kind of plan at this rate. Causing smoke to fill up the tunnel would work perfectly... if there was something to burn. Even if Lynette could cause a fire with a mere drawing, how would they cause it to burn enough smoke to fill up the tunnel, and how would they get it through without causing this biblical plague to come through and kill them anyway. Paige and Caelea don't have abstractions (that they probably know of anyway). But, there was Rien and Nathan that came to mind. And a beautiful idea was hatched in her head. "Rien, that won't be necessary," Lynette said as she raised a marker in the air. "I got all the fire we need... but, what you [i]could[/i] draw was something to burn. Something like cloth or wood. Then that brings me to you..." She turned to Nathan, and then grinned, "You can phase it through the floor, and then I ignite it. That'll produce enough smoke to clear the tunnels. Or burn enough of them alive." Then Lynette had to bring up something else, "When we were in the tunnel, I heard the insects coming down a separate path - so that [i]must[/i] mean there's a way out of here." Jordan looked up at Paige and Rien, she would had cracked a smile because they were so concerned about her. However, while it hurt like hell right now, she knew it'd be a lot better if she was far away from here as possible. "Yeah, I'm good," Jordan said, "It's going to hurt like hell for a little while, but nothing some pain meds can't fix." She put her hand up at Rien, "I don't need all that, she might need you more than me." "I wish I could help, but I have no abstraction..." Kimberly seldomly said, before thinking about the weird symbol on her forehead. A "sigil" they called it. But, she was wondering what kind of abstraction could be mean. A symbol of a camera's eye, as she liked to call it. She always felt a strange pull towards photos since the incident...

Sharon didn't realize what was going on, but she felt nauseous from all the buzzing that was filling up her ears. She looked up, and couldn't see a thing, there were too many insects- Suddenly, the swarm cleared up around her, and left a bubble where she could see in front of her. At least a good six feet in a dome before the insect swarm made it impossible to see past it. She stood up, still clutching that pained arm of hers. What in the hell was going on? She tried dragging her feet back towards her house, but she couldn't- The insects cleared up a path straight to her house. "Am I..." Sharon trailed off for a moment as she released her arm, and let it loosely flop to her size. She raised a palm up into the air, and saw a dragonfly land on her hand. It flew away, but she looked off to the side. She realized she was one of them. An Awakened. It was finally time, but it came at the worst time... she looked up, and closed her eyes as she tried to will them away. ... and they didn't go away. Maybe... her heart was still racing, and she could barely focus right now. Everything was happening at god damn once and she couldn't... she couldn't think. Not a word. She needed help. She didn't know what was going on, but something was drawing her to the house. She could feel something coming from the house (and slightly from the garage). She dragged her feet towards the house, towards where she could feel that [i]signil[/i].
