His hope was that Percy could use it as an anchor, to keep himself from teleporting away while also serving as one for Dorian. He'd managed to keep himself from flickering from any of the jumpscares the house had thrown their way. As they rounded the corner to move into a new room, he felt the loss of Percy's grip on his hand. A smile on his lips as he was about to turn and tease his boyfriend for falling for the steam vent trick. But when he turned, the scene had changed. Dark halls stretched before him as Percy was nowhere to be found. [Color=CC99FF]”Perce? Where'd you leap off to?”[/color] He'd hate the idea of holding up the house, especially if he accidentally ran into another group attempting to get in, but he didn't want to abandon Percy if he got scared enough to teleport to another hall. He called out to him, slowly making his way before turning around and wondering if maybe he'd accidentally gone forward instead. Before long he'd reached a room that was pitch black, he couldn't see anything, there were no sounds at all coming from the room. [Color=CC99FF]”Perce?”[/color] A sound came from deeper in the room, like a mixture between a crackle and a hum as a flare of light came in the size of a baseball. First it flashed purple before it began to become overtaken by a deep red. Dorian watched as the light elongated into a blade and the red glow now illuminated a [url=https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/392257844256440322/1185989801636274260/sci_fi_wizard_by_lin69099_dc9ci2l-pre.jpg?ex=65919e13&is=657f2913&hm=dae14a82568f98afc905ed79992e7f0e3919578291c43defaaf11e2559765014&]stranger[/url] in the dark. [Color=CC99FF]”So cool! ‘ey, ‘ave you seen anot’er student? ‘e's dressed like a doctor in a suit, is about t’is tall and-”[/color] Dorian was cut off as what he'd assumed was a scare actor began bolting in his direction, laser sword in hand. The stranger swung his sword at Dorian and he held his hands up instinctively as he watched the blade stop inches away from his face. The red light glaring off the reflective helmet of the stranger showing only a reflection of himself. He watched the struggle of the blade until he realized that he was the one holding it back. [Color=CC99FF]”I don't want to fight you, I just want to find Percy!”[/color] There was a shift in the stranger's demeanor, more aggression as Dorian could feel the blade pressing harder against the invisible force holding it back. A cold voice came through the darkened helmet, as if speaking through an intercom system within the suit itself. “Then you will die searching.” The masked man pushed his palm out towards Dorian, never connecting as a force pushed him back and on his ass. He swung once more, Dorian narily missing the blow as he flickered in and out of existence. Another swing and Dorian rolled to get out of the way. The barrage of attacks barring him from being able to draw his own blade. Dorian scrambled backwards until he hit a wall, sure that this would be it. But just as the swing was about to come, a small portal opened up, fizzling as a card flew out and slid under Dorian's heel. There was a small chirping sound, as a [url=https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/813132925003497512/1168963474118946877/image0.jpg?ex=658b0c12&is=65789712&hm=db905dd56c0d6334c6bc917ba042e9cb4bd4924e0b8d2d321e5b1ddd9a36e0ef&]raptor[/url] came barreling out and biting the wrist of Dorian's assailant. Dorian grabbed the note, pocketing it as he made a dash towards freedom. The small creature was shaken loose, thrown to the floor just before Dorian's feet making him halt in place. He heard the change in the swords hum as the figure swung at the defenseless creature. Dorian threw himself over the raptor, shielding the blow with his body. Dorian's skin began to burn. The sounds of him screaming in pain drowning out the deep chuckle that came from his assailant. It felt personal, as though this person knew he would throw himself before the blade, as if he was calling him weak for even doing so, it felt as though the intention was never to harm the raptor, but to put Dorian in a vulnerable enough position to manage a strike. The immediate burning had stopped, leaving only the residual heat from the blades cut. Dorian tried to look up, to ask why, he wanted to call for help, but before he could speak…the blade plunged in him. He gripped at the animal beneath him tightly as pain seared into every nerve before finally…it stopped. All that remained was a faint burn within his chest and a knot in his throat. His eyes hurt from how hard he'd shut them, but as he opened them up once more to see what had happened, he was gone. Dorian was now at the exit of the Haunted House, Percy being hugged by his sister and the dance once more under way. The raptor, it seemed, was still there with him, but all else was nothing more than a memory. Dorian got up and ran towards his boyfriend, gripping him tight from behind as he enveloped him and Diana into a group hug. [Color=CC99FF]”I'm so sorry Perce! I didn't know we'd get separated I t'ought you were…I…”[/color] Tears began to well up in his eyes as the raptor came in and began to nuzzle against his ankle.
