Tuyen only had any physical fitness when it came to running (too much experience), not lifting. She didn’t have the luxury to use her shadow for this either. And a quick glance at Tansy and Trisha told her they weren’t going to be much help for that kind of manual labour… [quote=Tansy]“Where is that little psychopath! Did none of you idiots check if she was actually coming? Areyouallthatfuckingstupid!?” [/quote] Tuyen flinched back, fingernails digging into the skin of her palms hard enough to draw blood. She shoved her hands in the pockets of her jacket to hide their shaking and the white glow that engulfed them. The extra sharp pain she felt as the light wounds healed was enough to distract her, expression only wavering slightly. This wasn’t about her. [color=Gray][i]Stupid.[/i][/color] Unlike the other three, she’d stuck around long enough to see Sabrina go off to get Georgie. But it had been stupid of her to assume they knew too. [i]Smash.[/i] The sound of shattering glass rang in Tuyen’s ears, distorting until it turned into a high pitch screech that wouldn’t go away. She winced, momentarily closing her eyes and turning away from the Vanburens. It was like someone was scratching glass right against her ears, a phone smashing turning into a horrendous cacophony of screeches in her mind. She [i]needed[/i] it to stop. [color=MediumSlateBlue]”Oh do calm down, Tansy, at your age this much stress could strain your heart,”[/color] Trisha sneered, smug smile tugging at her lips showing how pleased she was with the thought. If only Tansy was actually old enough to fall over from a heart failure over her anger. Now that would be quite the sight to see. Her phone buzzed in her pocket as she went on, but she ignored it. Probably nothing important. [color=MediumSlateBlue]”You didn’t even notice Georgie was missing? Doesn’t that make you the stupidest of all? You sure don’t pay attention for someone who pretends to care so much!”[/color] Tansy was enjoying this so much, watching Tansy lose control and then struggle to get it back. It almost made being stuck here worth it. Ah, she didn’t have many opportunities to witness something like this. [color=MediumOrchid]“Oh yeah, sure, I send Georgie hate texts all the time,”[/color] Trisha rolled her eyes at Tansy. Her phone buzzed in her poc [color=MediumOrchid]“We’re not all creeps like you that check up on our siblings every move through text.”[/color] Yeah, no, she’d rather die than have Georgie’s number on her phone. Was bad enough seeing her at family occasions. The bickering, and Shane’s to the point words, filtered through the noise still ringing in Tuyen’s ears. She gritted her teeth and forced it away. Even if they didn’t trust her, [color=Gray][i]rightfully so[/i][/color], she had a job to do. It was just auditory hallucinations, and she’d been dealing with those of a much worse nature for too long now. She had to stay in control. [color=MediumOrchid]“Your sister, Sabrina I think, went to get her,”[/color] Tuyen turned back towards the Vanburens with a cold gaze, an attempt to cover up the panic that was still clawing at her lungs. [color=MediumOrchid]“Maybe try calling her?”[/color] Or whoever Shane was calling would work, assuming they picked up. She would do it herself… if she had anyones number but Justin’s. Really it would’ve been much easier if he had just knocked Georgie out and let them drag her here. [color=MediumOrchid]“While he’s trying to get through, let’s start setting up. It’s better for us to be prepared for when they get here.”[/color] Because right now, she didn’t want to consider the possibility of this falling through. [color=Gray][i]Any failure here would be on her.[/i][/color] [hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/YgTBKGx.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/KQDgYEn.png?1[/img][/center] [right][b][code]Outside the Sunrise Resort[/code][/b][/right] [hr] [quote=Blu]"Are those actually dogs like Ezra says? They feel like something else, something...macabre...?"[/quote] “They’re hellhounds,” Oscar said quietly, awkwardly patting the hands that had ended up wrapped around his arm. For all he was friendly he wasn’t really the type to comfort someone else… It was all facts and logic to him. “It’s fine, they’re gone.” It didn’t take them much to reach the resort, with no hellhounds on their tail. He only hoped they were heading towards where the other group was rather than a lone Sabrina and Georgie. [color=Gold]“I agree with Ezra, I’m sure they’re both out of there by now. Georgie’s stubborn but she’s smart.”[/color] He checked his own phone, just in case there were any updates. None. [color=Gold]“I hope they managed to set up a trap in time...”[/color] Oscar fell silent in thought at Ezra’s question, trying to think it through. Unfortunately his abstraction wasn’t so useful when it came to distraction or getting someone’s attention. [color=Gold]“If anyone’s going to be able to get a secret message to her it’ll be Arabelle, since she spoke to her before. Perhaps it would be easier to just distract the rest rather than secretly trying to get her attention?”[/color] Maybe a concert from Blu… No, that was a ridiculous idea. He glanced at Justin. [color=Gold]“Maybe we can try and force them all out, and catch her attention that way, I can easily make it look like the sprinkler system was set off.”[/color]
