Darkness engulfed me. I turned my head and saw the deranged rabbit himself. The only light came from a lantern. It glowed in the room, giving the chained hunchback jackrabbit a creepy appearance. He stood against the wall across me. His arms were up, held by chains. His clothes were ripped and stained with blood. The hanging chains clinked softly against each other as he stirred. His head slowly lifted up. His eyes were hidden behind his bangs, but I could tell he was staring right back at me. His arms tensed up and his mouth curled up into a sneer.

"Banshee," he said through clenched teeth. My body instantly tensed up. Kinski's eyes were still fixed on me, and looked like as if he was trying to kill me with his mind. I took a deep breath and exhaled. "Y-you said you wanted to speak with me?" I asked. Kinski's sneer relaxed a bit. His body shifted, making the chains clink and rattle.

"Come closer," he finally said. If he could, he would be pulling his hand out in front of him, using his index finger to curl and uncurl in a creepy gesture for me to come. I hesitated, but obeyed. I took only two steps toward him. Kinski's mouth twitched in annoyance. "A little closer," he said. I took a couple more steps and stood five feet from him. "A little more," he said, his face straining a smile. "No, this is close enough," I said. Kinski's forming grin disappeared. He shifted uncomfortably. The chains clinked louder.

"I understand… I can smell yer fear," he said. I narrowed my eyes. "I'm not afraid of you," I said. Kinski snickered. "Sure," he said. I revealed my fangs. "Kinski, snap out of it, you're not yourself, they changed you, Bill did something to your mind," I said. Kinski didn't answer. He stared down at the ground. He twitched uncontrollably. He was in there still, but he was trapped. Kinski looked up at me. His eyes were wide with fear and insanity. I took one step cloer to him, but stopped. I really badly wanted to help him.

Gradually, his eyes narrowed at me. He continued to twitch uncontrollably and snarled angrily. Suddenly, he came at me. The chains held him back. He snarled and screamed. His arms thrashed and clawed the air. He kicked the lanturn aside, blowing the candle out. Making the room go into complete darkness. My eyes adjusted to the darkness. The chains rattled and crashed against eachother loudly. Kinski grabbed the flying chains and pulled them. I took a couple steps away from him.

Suddenly, I heard the chains break from the wall, allowing him a couple more feet. He reached his arms out and attacked me. I tried to scream, but Kinski clamped a hand over my mouth. His claws dug deep into my flesh as he got a good hold on me. I flapped my wings and thrashed frantically, but it was no use. He grabbed my right flailing wing and bit down hard. Blood gushed out. I screamed a muffled scream.

Instinctively, I turned into The Nightmare and got away from the insane rabbit. Kinski wasnt able to hold on to me. I used my massive wing and shoved him away from me. Kinski crashed against the wall where he was chained up. He screamed in pain and collapsed to the ground. The chains screamed like crazy and rattled uncontrollably.

The room I was in was very small. Parts of the ceiling began to fall down as my head pressed up against it. I changed back to my normal form. My chest was rising and falling at a rapid pace. Kinski was breathing hard too. His mouth was covered in red. My blood. Kinski slowly lifted himself up on all fours. He glared at me from behind his bangs. His tongue slowly came out from his mouth. He licked the side of his mouth and tasted my blood. His mouth curled up into an evil grin.

They did something to his brain. They fixed it to where he wanted to attack me. He was forced into the mind set to kill me. Kinski got up on his knees. He lifted his arms, straining to reach me. I took a step back till my back pressed against the opposite wall from the insane hunchback jackrabbit. I heard the chains scream and scrape against each other. He couldn't think straight. His twisted mind was even more twisted. I waited till he was done.

Finally, Kinski collapsed back down to the ground, exhausted. My heart finally stopped racing. "W-why wont you talk to anyone e-else? Why m-me?" I asked in a shaky breath. Kinski lifted his head up to me. His eyes flickered different expressions. He shook his head a bit. He didnt answer me as he continued to twitch. I stared at him.

"What is it that you wanted to tell me?" I asked him. Kinski eyes shifted before going back to me. "...B-Blor...vatch out for Blor...he vants to take over ze town again...he's ze one in charge...not Bill...Blor...he...he...vants...ze metal..." Kinski jerked and twitched violently.

I got up. "What? What about the metal? What metal? why does he want it?" I asked frantically, but it was too late. Kinski screamed in pain and started to spaz. He came at me again, slashing the air. Suddenly, I felt a pair of hands clamp down on my shoulders from behind and pull me away from the insane hunchback jackrabbit. The door closed and I was out of the dark room and back into the main room of the Rodent family's. Elgin lifted his hands from my shoulders. I turned around and faced a crowd of nervous people. "What happened? What did he tell you?" asked Sergeant Turley. I stared at all of their faces.

"He said something about a person named Blor-" I started. "Not a person...a demon," a familiar voice interrupted me. The posse parted as Brim made her way to me. She stared down at me. Everyone was quiet. All that was heard was Kinski's muffled, violent screaming from behind the door.

"Blor is the villian, not Bill. Bill is just his host," Brim explained. I stared at Brim. "You know..." I said, my voice faltering. Brim sadly looked down. "Yes, I know. My people have been trying to stop the demons from destroying the worlds for many years," she explained.

I nodded. "...Kinski also said something about metal...I think he was meaning the metal under the town..." I explained, but Brim didn't look like she was listening. She looked over to the door, then back at me. She looked nervous. "Is he...?" her voice faltered. I stared at Brim for a minute, then realized why she was nervous. I narrowed my eyes at Brim. Tears came down my face.

"You didnt save him in time!" I screamed at the Immortal. Brim's eyes widened when she saw me flicker in and out of my transformation. I snarled angrily "He wants to kill me! why did you do this?! Why did you let Bill do this to him?!" I screamed again. Brim took a step back, as she did, she reached behind her and began to pull a large gleaming sword out from the scabbard behind her back.

The posse quickly tried to calm me down and get Brim to put her sword away. I transformed, thus scaring Brim. She took a step away from me. I loomed over everyone, trying to make my way toward Brim. Finally, Beans came up to me. Her hands up in the air, trying to calm me down. "Banshee! she tried her best! she got Kinski back! That's better then him being dead!" Beans yelled up to me.

Mixed feelings flowed through me. Finally, I calmed down and went back to my normal size. I curled up into a ball and began to cry. Beans and Priscilla helped me up from the ground and led me away from Brim and the others. We walked up the stairs to my room. Petunia left with Beans and Priscilla when they layed me in bed.

I cried in my pillow till my eyes started to sting. I stayed under the covers all day. The sun sank low and stars lit up the sky. No one came into my room to see how I was doing. I finally closed my eyes and fell asleep...
