| Ushi'tora continued to meditate, his eyes open, but staring into another world. The one-armed Samurai was staying in this very hotel, he was searching the hotel in his mind for the signature of the samurai's presence, when he was suddenly disturbed by visions, visions of his parents being slain by the samurai.
"..." His concentration was broken, his search yielding nothing.
Meanwhile...
"Hehehehe..." Kel had spotted his next victim. Aquaria, whom he had used as his subject of fear before.
"Ahhh..." She still remained in the pool, enjoying every minute of it.
"!?" She felt something scrape past her arm, she stopped swimming. Whatever it was didn't seem to be doing anything else.
"(Must be my imagination.)" She thought to herself. Then, something wrapped around her leg, and pulled her under. She couldn't breathe, she couldn't move, she was being betrayed by her own element! There seemed to be no end to the pool's depth, further and further down she was pulled, until finaly the pressure began to increase greatly upon her body. Whatever creature had pulled her down turned around, it was a hideous squid, but it bore the faces of both Inferno and Shadow.
"No use for you..." The voice oozed out of the creature in a sickening tone. The creature then ate her.
"Gasp!" She suddenly burst back into reality, her body still intact, the pool only about twelve feet deep, and her brothers nowhere in sight.
She pulled herself out of the pool, wrapped a towel around herself, and started towards the bar with great haste. |
