~*~Chapter~*~
Jenny pushed Angel away determined to show nothing of how she really felt. She was here to free, Julian, the one of which she had and did crave, want, love enough to go to this God forsaken place. She couldn't allow herself to be seduced by yet another shadowman. Especially one that she had just made the devils pact with. Jenny slowly detached herself from Angel and picked up the flashlight that she had dropped.
"Exactly how far do we have to go into the cave before you summon the other shadowmen." She ventured, walls of ice forming around her mind.
Jenny thought she saw a flicker of something in his eyes when he lifted his eyes to meet hers, but then as quickly as it had come it vanished, leaving Jenny to think it hadn't been their at all.
"I could summon them whenever I want to, but the fact of the matter is we need not worry because their already her." Amusement danced in his emerald eyes. "I was a little *destracted* before and didn't notice, but now, yes, can't you *feel* them?"
Sudden panic filled Jenny. Yes, she could feel them, she'd have to be incredibly stupid not to be able to. Great destructive power emanated from them. She heart sank when she saw a familiar shriveled fetus scurry towards her. Jenny heard it laugh obscenely as it looked her up and down, "Can we take you? We can carry you."
Jenny back up until she bumped into Angel, who seem anything but worried, "Don't worry Jenny, they can't touch you remember I brought you here. Your not their prey anymore, Julian took care of that." Angel gave her a slight nug forward.
The fetus scurried away into the darkness as another shadowman stepped forward out of the nothingness. This was the one Jenny remembered all to well, his voice was oddly beautiful not reflecting the hideous crocodile eyes that popped out at her, "You have come again, you must know we could take you now, enjoy you. You would be powerless to stop us."
Jenny decided to ignore the way of fear that threatened to engulf her and spoke firmly, "I came because I want Julian back."
"We do not bargain with our prey. Come we will take you with us. If you come willingly we will be gentle."
Jenny looked at the crocodile eyes shadowman, disbelief shining in her eyes, "Gentle, I'm positive you wouldn't know what the word meant. The only thing you know about is the best way to rip an unwilling soul from its body. Tell me have you had any prey since my grandfather, P.C. and Slug." Jenny crossed her arms over her chest and glared furiously at the shadowman.
Its only answer was a sadistic smile that seemed to do little to comfort Jenny in anyway as countless pairs of luminous eyes became to come from the darkness. They wanted their prey and Jenny could do nothing to sate their appetite as she was enveloped in a smoky mist...
