"No!" Kumori shouted, backing away from the invisible monster making the claw marks. "Go away!" Were it not for her younger sister in her arms, she might have prepared to fight. But, she wasn't about to risk putting her down in order to fight an invisible monster. "Leave us alone!" she shouted again, trying to look around for a way out of the room.
Amei curled up in Kumori's arms, unable to to much more than crying in fear of the monster. After all, she'd been trained to be submissive for almost as long as she could remember. So, what else could she do?

Suddenly, the claw marks stopped dragging, and for a moment, the vampires were granted silence...then the claw marks started to bleed and seep out like tree sap until it turned the center of the room into a buddle of scarlet red, flooding over the cruel words that were writtenover the marble. It remained there, between the sisters, and the door, their only escape. Then, as if things werent disturbing enough, the puddle started to bubble, as if something was living in there...then something started to rise from the red surface slowly...it was a skull, but not a human skull, no, this skull had fangs, just like a vampire. Still oozing with blood, the skull, protruding out of the puddle stared directly at kumori, though it had no eyes, its emptry stare peirced into her like daggers as it suddenly whispered in a familiar feminine voice..."Sweet heart..." it chimed sweetly, almost motherly...then, the voice was recognised as the sisters mother as she said continued to ask in a soft, sweet voice, "did you do something bad...?"

"Mama..." Amei recognized, though it had been at least five years since she had heard her mother's voice and she was only five at the time. She sniffled and whimpered, still crying as she also remembered that the last time she was her mom was the night of the fire, when both her parent's had died and the two sisters had been kidnapped. The night they'd been forced into prostitution.
"Madre..?" Kumori asked softly, a bit confused. "N..no... It can't be you... You died. You and Papa died..." She held Amei closer, trying not to cry. "There.. there's no such thing as ghosts... You're.. you're n-not real... Like the.. the wheelchair before... You're not real... You can't be real."

"Kumori...my darling..." Suddenly another voiced echoed in her ears, a uch more masculine voice than her mother, it was deep, yet tenor, and spoke in a gentle tone..."Dont say that about your parents...little kumori...." suddenly, another skull with fangs joined the other skull's company as they both stared blankly at the sisters from the puddle of deep red blood with their empty eye sockets.

"Mama." Amei whimpered through her tears. "Papa." She tried to crawl out of Kumori's arms, reaching out to them. "Papa!"
"Amei, no." Kumori held her close, protectively. "Amei, they skulls. See? We both heard them in that fire... You know they can't be alive." She took a deep breath, trying not to cry. "You know they would've rescued us if they were... We wouldn't have had to spend five years in that place."

As the girls struggle to keep their grip on sanity, the skulls continue to display even bizare traits as they started to levitate above their puddle, still dripping and soaked with scarlet fluid. Then, their once empty eyes started to overflow and spill with more blood as they they continued to say slowly in unison, "We...love you...we love you...we love you...we love you...we love you....we love you...we love you...we love you...we love you...we-" Suddenly, the two skulls drop back down into the puddle with a tiny splash and a hard click against the shallow bottom. and as they did the puddle ignited in bright vibrant flames, hearing the distant screams of their parents dying while at the same time they spoke in the same pattern, only slower and slower as if the quality of a recording was deteriorating. "We love you...weee..looove..youuu...weeeeeeeeee llloooooovvve youuuuuuu..." then, as they continued to talk, the very bone of the skulls slowly started to melt while engulfed in the flames until finally...it stopped. The voices were gone, the skulls vanished, the blood, the fire, the claw marks, they all just...dissapeared. Even the blood written words that surrounded them with such gruesome disdain were missing as well, as though they were never there. Fortunately, they still had their flash light...as least that was real...

Kumori leaned against the wall behind her and slowly sank down to the floor, shaking. "Madre... Papa..." she whispered, starting to cry.
Amei curled up in her sister's lap, sobbing. Being so young, she hadn't remembered much of that night. But, hearing her parents screams brought it all back to her. She sobbing and hiccuped, clinging tightly to her older sister for protection.
Kumori held the younger vampire close, crying quietly. "Please.. stop this..." she whispered through the tears. "Why are you doing this to us?"

While they sobbed in their pit of despair they suddenly heard a tenor voice echoe from outside the room. "Hello?" he cried out, it was clearly a young man, sounding lost himself in his tone. "Hello! I hear someone down there! Are you alright...?" then, after the breif sound of footsteps dashing towards the door way, stepping into the flashlight's beam was indeed a normal, average looking male human. He stood at about 5'11 with damp brown hair, wearing a leather jacket and torn jeans with musky brown boots. Seeing the two sisters and realizing how terrified they looked, he slowly knealed down and said gently, "Hey...are you two alright..?"

Kumori shied away from him, not sure if he was real or not. But, even if he was real, she wasn't sure she could trust him. Not after five years at a whorehouse. "Wh..who are you...?" she asked quietly, holding Amei close as she slowly got to her feet.
Amei hiccuped, moving out of her siter's arms and hiding behind her. After all, the only man she knew who could be trusted was her father, and he was dead. She tried to wipe away her tears, but to no avail.

The man stood back up as he explained carefully and gently, "I tried to find shelter from the rain after my car broke down...when I found this place I heard screams and crying coming from over here..."

Kumori nodded slowly. "We.. we were just hiding from the rain, too..." she said quietly. "But, there.. there's something going on here..."
"There's ghosts..." Amei whimpered from behind her older sister.

The man, at a closer look seemed fairly attractive, despite being soaked to the bone, he had vibrant blue eyes and dicently chizzled cheeks. He appeared to be just as normal as any other guy, even smelled like one too. Even so, the young man tried to maintain his solicitude in order to help the girls relax.
"I'll admit, I did notice a few strange things on my way in here. uh..sorry, I forgot to say my name. Folks call me Randy. You two?"

"I'm Kumori..." she said softly, knowing better than to trust his looks. Being attractive didn't mean he was a decent man. "And, this is Amei." She half-turned away from him, picking up her sister.
Amei curled up in Kumori's arms, watching this Randy person warily. She still didn't trust him.

Randy, reading their expressions well, he replied intuitively, "Guess yer still not completely convinced eh? Hm, someth'n tells me you two have been through alot even before entering this place...Hey! how bout this...?" he digs his hand into his jacket pocket and after shuffling around some lint and change he he unfolded his fist open and offered a small candy bar that read plainly, "Baby Ruth"
"you two hungry? Its not much, but I figured you two might want it more than me. If I may be blunt, you two look awefully bony, like you havnt eaten in days."

Amei, without hesitation and without a word, grabbed the Baby Ruth bar. She unwrapped it quickly and ate it, letting the wrapper fall to the floor.
Kumori let her have it, not too interested in eating human food. "Thank you..." she said softly. "And, you're right about not eating... We were- We just-" She hesitated, not really wanting to talk about where they were before. "We.. we don't have any money or anything, for food..."

Randy looked at both of them for a moment, then replied, "Ah...I get it now. You two are Runaways right? Dont worry, I know what thats like."
Suddenly, a distant creeking could be heard in the distance down from the lobby area. After Randy had glanced toward the sound, he looked at kumori and suggested strongly, "We should probably start moving. We cant go back that way. For some odd reason, the doors locked behind me..."

Kumori nodded slowly. "They locked behind us, too..." she said. "That's why we were even in this room in the first place. I thought there might be a way out somewhere here. But, ah.. something.. something was, and.. maybe still is.. in here..."
"It's ghosts..." Amei said, same as she had before. "We.. we saw Mama and Papa..." she added after a slight hesitation.

Randy glanced at Amei, his eyes widened a little, "You...saw your parents?" he then nodded slowly as he understood and said, "So I guess that means that that would be strange for your case....I'm sorry."
Another creek was heard in the distance, Randy glanced back at Kumori and said with his hand out as an offering for help, "We cant stay here any longer, we can try to work together...if you trust me."

"I.. I guess so..." Kumori said, shifting Amei in her arms so they were both a bit more comfortable. "Here. We, ah.. found this..." She held out the flashlight to him, as best as she could since she was still holding Amei.
"Which way..?" Amei asked quietly, clinging to her older sister.

Randy was about to say something, but then heard the distinct sound of a hard sole footstep tap against the marble floor just a few feet away from him down the corridor near the lobby...but could not see anyone.
"H..Hello!" he cried out.
No response...
