Gone. All hope was gone as Alexander's illuminated form disappeared into the portal. Sinking to his knees, despair choked him as the Shadow crawled into the Inner Sanctum, slithered slowly underneath the old iron and wood.
"No...no..." His only hope of getting out of here...was gone. Alexander had the pleasure of watching Daniel's face turn to complete horror as he disappeared and now Daniel was to be killed by the hands of the Shadow. With tears running down his face in total loss of hope, he looked over to the door and slowly began to back up on his hands and feet.
The red, pulsating Shadow latched onto the circular walls of the room, quickly spreading like the legs of a spider, ready to feast on its meal. Daniel swallowed and nearly squeaked as the castle suddenly trembled. Is it really...going to end like this?
Feeling his breath hitch in his throat, he let his wide eyes focus on the god forsaken substance that spread over the ceiling. The door was already covered, licking its way around the hinges solidly and keeping it forever closed.
Upon feeling a strange, cold temperature wrap around his wrist, he looked down and yelled, tugging fiercely at his own hand. He had noticed the creature crawling above him but not along the ground. The Shadow stayed well on his wrist, causing Daniel's heart to pick up.
"No, no, no! Get off me!" Tugging again, the same texture suddenly clinging to his opposite wrist. Quickly standing, having long since dropped the empty oil lantern, Daniel felt the red substance crawl onto his forearms and stick there. Daniel felt his own tears leave his face as he struggled violently, hoping to tear the Shadow away from him but it seemed hopeless as another quickly formed around his legs, having finally both enveloped the floor and ceiling.
"Well, well,~ looks like I succeeded in catching my prey, once again~." Daniel swung his head around the room, his eyes widening at the voice. What in God's name...?
"W-Who-" A finger pressed against his lips from behind, another arm freely wrapping itself around Daniel's body slowly, from shoulder to the opposite hip.
"Shh~." Cold lips laid themselves near Daniel's ear, making him shudder. "Come now, why the frightened face? Is it because of the Shadow, dear, dear boy?" The sudden voice was like a mix of sweet, sweet vanilla and the enchanting taste of melted chocolate. It left Daniel in a daze and for a moment, he couldn't think right.
"...Who...are you?" Slowly, the finger that continued to press against the Englishman's lips trailed itself along his lower lip and slowly over his jawline. This person sent a chill down his spine before he even revealed himself as more of the red substance climbed up his body, leaving him in a web of red.
"I'll only tell you, if you agree to become mine," the male whispered and Daniel gasped, feeling a cold hand gently caress his neck. W-What is this nonsense! Does he not see the Shadow is ready to devour me! But a thought hit him, causing him to attempt to rip himself away from the mans hold and the Shadow's firm grip. Both tightened their grip, leaving him to struggle in vain.
"You! You are the Sha-" The hand suddenly climbed up from his lips to tenderly place it over Daniel's lips. The Englishman's guess was confirmed and an icy hand grip his heart in absolute fear.
"Yes, Daniel. I am the one who killed those lovely men back in London. I am the Shadow." Daniel nearly fell to his knees again but that same strong arm kept him up and close. "What~? You thought I only had one form? I have two. Congratulations...you just met me...Daniel."
