Torn: MUFFFFRGHHH!!!
Torn tried to scream, but the person who had him held him tight in a bone- crushing grip. He was put into a headlock, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a gleam of silver; a gun was pointed at his temples.
A sharp, hissing voice muttered into his ear, and it sent him chilling all over.
*****: Where is it?
Torn: What?
*****: Don't you play smart with me, buddy. Now tell me, where is it?
Torn: I don't know what you're talking about..
Suddenly Torn heard another voice in the distance. It was Erol.
Erol: Torn! Where are you?
The man who held Torn tighted his headlock, preventing Torn from saying anything. He growled sharply under his breath.
*****: (Hissing at Torn) You're coming with me!
And with a strenght that shocked Torn, the man draged him away into the darkness. The cold tip of the gun never left his temples.
Suddenly, Torn realized that he heard rapid footsteps; Erol was running.
Erol: HEY! HEY! YOU STOP!!
*****: Shit!
Torn stared in horror as the man took his gun away from his temples and pointed at Erol's running figure.
But before be could pull the trigger, something appeared out of the darkness and leaped for the arm pointing the gun at Erol. The man screamed out in pain when a little green monster clamped its sharp teeth deeply into his arm, thus releasing Torn from his crushing grip.
Torn fell hurtled to the ground and looked up to see the man struggling to get the little crocadog off. He eventually did with a brutal whack with the butt of his gun, sending the poor little beast yelping off.
Torn knew he had only seconds to make a run for it. He grabbed the whining crocadog in his arms and tried to sprint away, but the man's stare held him.
For the first time he saw the man's eyes. They were an electric blue, so deep and so haunting. He knew it was the same person who had stalked him, for they also gave him the same spine-tingling sensation.
Torn was lost in a sea of electric blue, the haunting gaze held him in that position. He knew he was vulnerable.
But then suddenly a fist shot out of the darkness and caught the man full in the cheek. He fell to the ground and was pinned there by Erol's quick hands.
Erol: Quick Torn! RUN!
But Torn could not run. Something held him there in his position, watching Erol grapple with the black clad stranger. The little crocadog was also stiff in his arms.
He watched as Erol struggled to keep the stranger down. He managed to punch him in several different places, thus keeping him firmly to the ground. Erol raised his fist high to deliver the final blow.
But then something stopped his fist in mid air. His eyes widened with shock when he realized something was happening to the man's eyes.they seemed to grow pale, the irises shrinking away to leave only the white behind. The man had opened his mouth wide, frighteningly wide! And in that gaping hole of black, Erol saw two sharp canines gleaming sinisterly in the moonlight.
Erol: Holy shit.
And in straggering speed, the man knocked away the hand holding down his neck and lunged for Erol. Erol screamed in a voice filled with fear and pain as those two sharp canines met against the sensitive skin of his neck and pierced into a vein.
It was then when Torn finally snapped out of his trance. But before he did anything, the mad stranger leaped away and disappeared into the darkness.
Torn ran towards the moaning Erol and helped him sit up.
Torn: Erol! Are you all right?
Erol: (Groans loudly)
Torn: Hold on, buddy.
Torn got Erol slowly to his feet and put his arm over his shoulder. Once done, he led his injurd comrade towards the palace.
Back inside the Great Hall.
Samos: ... and when Keira comes in, Daxter will start pouring down the pink, heart-shaped confetti-
Torn: Guys! Samos! Help!
Ashelin: Torn? EROL! What-what-
Jak/ Daxter: What happened!?
Torn: No time to explain, Erol's badly hurt.
Samos: (Talking to Erol) Erol boy, you can't get sick now! You're in charge of the fireworks!
Erol: I.don't.ohhh.
Erol fell limp from Torn's supporting shoulder and fell to the ground, unconcious.
Torn: EROL!
Jak: Quick! Get him to the Medic Wing!
Once at the Medic Wing.
Tess: (Examining Erol's wound with a grave expression) I've never seen anything like it. Are you sure it wasn't a dog that bit him? (A-HAH! 'Underworld' line!!)
Torn: I said it was a man.with fangs.
Tess: Well, one thing's for sure, this is a bad place for an infection. I'd better get some antibiotics for him.
Jak: (As Tess went off) Who did you say did this?
Torn: It was the same guy who stalked me. Ashelin: Someone stalked you?
Daxter: Who in the world would do that?
Torn: I've no idea.but there was something about him that really gave me the creeps. It feels like some kind of instinct; it had to get away from him.
Jak: What did he want?
Torn: That also I don't know. He kept asking 'where is it?'. I really don't know what he was talking about.
Ashelin: Well, in that case, if he wants something from us we'd better watch our six. Look what he did to poor Erol.
Daxter: If you asking me I think he's got rabies.
Tess: (Helping Erol drink down his antibiotics elixir) Oh, don't be ridiculous, Daxter. Rabies is only found in animals.
Daxter: Oh, okay then. And I suppose Torn's case of beast-changing isn't an advanced form of rabies!
Torn: (Growls) That's different!
Daxter: How can it be more different? Erol got bitten the same way!
Torn: It wasn't a beast, and if it were, I'd know.
Daxter: How would you know exactly?
Torn: (Getting angry) Because he was something even bigger than that!
Daxter fell silent after that.
Jak: Are you saying he's.not human or something?
Torn: What do you think I've been trying to tell you after all this time?
Ashelin: I'm really starting to get worried about Erol.how is he, Tess?
Tess: The poor guy's asleep. So far he isn't showing signs of anything funny if that bite were really supernatural.
Torn: We'll see about that tomorrow.
Tess: I suggest we all go to bed now and leave Erol here to rest. G'night everyone.
Torn only wished her words were true. Because if it was one thing for sure, he's going have another nightmare-filled night. And those horrific fangs weren't helping.
Torn tried to scream, but the person who had him held him tight in a bone- crushing grip. He was put into a headlock, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a gleam of silver; a gun was pointed at his temples.
