[IC] Fairy Tail: We Are Family

[booksmusicanime]

There was no noise from inside the cottege except for a slight creak of a door swinging back and forth. But there was no voices, no screams. Nothing. Just dead silence.

[Jollan]

"Green skin?" Dremmick had to think for a bit but he finally remembered where he heard about him. "He should be fine. I've never seen him before either, but I remember the old Jailer records on the guy. Chelm: He was a person of interest for a while but shortly before he joined Fairy Tail, we dropped the matter. He's official though."

Hearing nothing in the cabin of interest, he started to get worried. "I'm not hearing anything but what seems to be a slight squeaking. I am starting to hope we have the wrong place because if she's not here, I'm not sure where she could have went." He waved as he saw them start to get close, which Terra returned it.

"How's the stakeout going?" she inquired.

"Terrible, y'all ready to do this?" he replied.

[manapool1]

"Yes, that is me, chelm the usurper. I didn't think anyone new about those old days... I'm almost flattered" He responded, almost sounding happy as he walked towards the door to the cabin. If no one else would go in he would. He didn't look it, but Chelm was looking for any possible indication that tempering has taken place around this place. Ruin, explosives, ect. Despite how much he loved a good story and a chance to see other fairy tail members in action, loosing one as strong as the person who was suppose to be inside.

[Jollan]

"Alright then, guess its time to see whats going on here." If there was someone waiting on them, hiding inside, it would be best to enter suddenly. So keeping true to his thoughts, Dremmick kicked the door down and stood at the ready with his dagger. After the door was finished clattering around, it was silent.

Terra, with a surprised look on her face wasn't sure about his methods. "Uhhh...wouldn't it have been better to sneak around and go through a window or something?"

"*!!!* Uhhm...." Dremmick was at a loss for words, in all actuality, it probably would have been better than going through the front door. "N- No, the front door is fine."

"You just wanted to kick down a door didn't you?"

"..."

"Your silence speaks for itself," Terra commented with a smile as she floated past him and into the house. "Whoa, look at this place."

[booksmusicanime]

There was still the sound of a creaking door from somewhere in the abandoned dusty house. It was sparsely furnished and the few furnishing were destroyed.

Ris tried to stand on her tiptoes to look in to the house.

"If you need a boost, I am not against helping" the large man said to the girl on her toes, though he was not looking to her. He was busy scanning the room. His face seemed to have changed. No longer a blissful grin, but a stern glare that looked a bit to wise. He may have found something, or not. Regardless it wouldn't matter. He wouldn't tell. The troubling news to him was that they already knew who he was. His stave, his magic, his physical enhancements, it felt like he was being probed.
"It seems your friend isn't here. Now what?"

[Jollan]

Dremmick lifted his mask to the side so his eye could get a better view of the room. "Her trail ends here," He simply stated, still on edge in case anything is hiding from them. "The dust looks thick... Try looking for any sign of a struggle or moved objects. they would leave a cleaner surface." He walked further in the room next to Terra. "Seen anything yet?"

"Not yet," she started, "but this place gives me the creeps. Something was here, and recently....but it looks so abandoned."

[booksmusicanime]

Ris looks up at Chem. "My sister...." She mumbled going to look around the house.

---

The first signs of disturbance and signs of life are footprints starting in front the the creaking door. There were two sets, one was smaller than the other.

[Jollan]

"Oh! I think we have something here," Terra called out as she got off her staff and walked to the door. "Some footsteps lead through here," she continued as she opened the door.

[booksmusicanime]

"Who should go down first?" Ris askes, peering down the dark stairwell.

[manapool1]

"I will. I'm older, it'd be less of a shame of it fell first. The strongest of you go to the back" he responded, and with that he walked off, his pace incredibly fast.

[Jollan]

Dremmick Dremmick stayed to the side of the group as they went in so that he could see at an angle through the door and keep an eye on their back at the same time. While he didnt like the fact that Ris and Terra were going in first, it made sense this way. If it were him he would have went in before the others to make sure nothing nasty awaited the others. However, this would keep everyone safer so that nothing came from behind without a fight.

Terra, on the other hand, all too easily took up the position behind Chelm. Being more of a tactician than Dremmick, she already understood why Chelm may have asked to do it this way, and she also knew that out of all of them, she probably wasn't the strongest in direct combat.

Her hazy memories having taken her for a ride once more, Morgan had zoned out, her eyes staring at nothing as everyone had been scouting the house and searching for any signs of a struggle. Soon enough, however, the flow of memories long lost was cut off as quickly as it had opened, leaving her dazed and a little upset, since for her, the whole experience had been like a dream. She couldn't remember anything. However, after realizing that everyone had disappeared into the now, *ahem*, opened door, she regained her composure and took off after the others, following them through the shadows of the dark stairwell, the others more than likely sensing her shadow's presence immediately.

[Jollan]

Dremmick turned to Morgan as she came through the door, "Oh, welcome back," he jeered, "I was wondering when you would come in." He then continued on with Morgan to the next room to see if they found anything.

[booksmusicanime]

Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs they were meet by darkness so dark that nothing could been seen ahead of them could be seen. If light were to be shown ((Note: There is no light I'm putting this here so someone can shine a light and know what is ahead)) there would be a very narrow hallway with six doors, three on either side and a eerie silence engulfed the hallway.

"Um, anyone got a light?" Ris asked, trying to figure out if there was another step below her or not.

[Jollan]

"No problem", Terra said as she used the power of a fire shard. She hopped off of her staff and one of the crystal halves detached from the end of it. "Crystal form, buckler," with that the crystal made a small, transparent, flat disc the size of her forearm. It the had a firey glow to it and edited small licks of flame from the edges now and again. It was a fire shield that could soak up fire magic, but it's glow did provide adequate light for the purpose.

After looking down the hall however, she took a step back, nervous . "Sooo.... hey Dremmick, wanna check that out?b she asked with a big smile.

Dremmick rolled his eye with a chuckle, "Sure, I'll check out the creepy hallway." He started to walk down the gall, staying on alert.

[manapool1]

Chelm had already wandered off, looking through the last room first and trying to see what might be inside. Chelm could not see very well, but regardless was too busy having fun with the idea of what mighthe come of this mission. He was sure it would be exciting and to see how the other brave warriors of fairy tail adapt would be nice.

Morgan giggles, first at Dremmick's jeering, and then at his response to Terra. "I'll follow after him. It wouldn't do us any good to have him be scared and lost in this shadow-filled place." With that being said to Terra, the tactician follows after Dremmick, not really having any use for the light being provided, for her eyes have had a long lifetime for getting used to the darkness.

[booksmusicanime]

Ris slowly crept forward, glancing at each of the doors. She went to the end of the hallways and stopped, becoming deathly silent and trying to find any noises using her dragon slayer hearing.

[Jollan]

"Well, here goes nothin'," Dremmick said as he formed a crimson short katana in his right hand. He then quietly turned the knob and then quickly pushed the door open and braced himself in case anything was waiting fr him on the other side.

Terra sent the light from her fire shield a little above Dremmick and behind him so that he could see in the room without the light from the crystal shield getting in his eyes. "Careful," she warned.
