The Means of Escape

"So what are they?" Paine took a glance out the window seeing on of the shapes standing tall as it howled.

"There no fiend that's for sure" Yuna held her own shoulders.

Tidus and Nooj went to one of the windows. The shapes moved further away disappearing into the mist, the howling started to slow to a halt.

"Where are the going?" Yuna came over to the window where Tidus was.

"Not away from here that's for sure…think they're trying to set a trap?" Nooj kept a stern eye on the woods outside.

"Then we just don't need to go outside…ya?" Wakka couldn't stop the trembling in his voice.

"But if they get in here…" Paine trailed off, everyone gave her a fearful look. "We might want to- LOOK OUT NOOJ!!"

Nooj turned back to the window, his eyes meet another pair. The yellow feral eyes pierced right through him, he found himself frozen in time minutes becoming hours. The brown fur was over a muscular frame, the jaws had long canine's. Claws were mounted on long fingers, a bushy tail and murderous eyes. Yuna sprinted over to Lulu burying her head and fighting back tears. Tidus jumped back as Nooj hide on the edge of the window, the thing looked in baring its teeth then sprinted round the corner out of sight.

"That's no fiend like I've seen!" Tidus picked himself up from the floor, he'd tripped over his own two feet while trying to get away from the window.

"It looked like a Ronso!" Nooj popped his head out just for an instant to see if anything was there.

"Not a Ronso…more like a dog" Paine was trying to get Rikku to uncover her eyes.

"Right we're getting out of here. You guys wait here while me and Gippal bring the cars up to the door" Baralai went to the couch and fumbled through both his and Gippal's car keys.

The two disappeared Baralai tossing Gippal his keys. The others tended to each other and to themselves…but.

"GIVE US A BREAK!" Gippal's roar came from the kitchen.

Yuna eyes fell on the orange glow as she rounded the corner, her hands drew up to her mouth as something dawned on her. Baralai and Gippal's cars were twisted wrecks of scrap metal each with a small fire burning in the engine. The tops were gone, replaced by a mass of severed wires and the very core structure of the cars. This was the work of no ordinary fiend, none thought like this…and none would know to destroy ones only means of escape. Four dark shapes moved just outside the mist…they dissipated into the mist leaving as swiftly and as silently as they'd came. Yuna felt her fear build…there was no way out now…they were all trapped.

"Great! How in the name of Sin am I going to explain this to my dad?" Baralai was nearly pulling his hair out at the thought.

"You think that's bad?" Gippal sighed. "Lest you didn't 'borrow' your own dads car…man he's going to kill me for this"

"I'm sure if you just say what happened Gippal…he won't be too mad" Yuna gave a very sweet reassuring smile.

"Nah, it's not the car Yuna!" Gippal lazily waved it off "It's all his dirty magazines in the trunk" Everyone gave him the 'what the hell' look…how could he had said that so calm?

"Right…" Paine sort of pulled everyone back from marking Gippal's father down as creepy. "Now that we've got that out of the way. We should really board up these windows…I mean it not really safe here"

"Yeah…look at the state of it!" Tidus grinned while everyone shook they're head.

"What can we board them up with?" Baralai had broken from his midlife crisis he had been having.

"Well…" Lulu dropped into thought. "We could always use pieces of the furniture?" She saw the look of terror in Baralai's eyes. "Fine! There has to be a basement…hopefully that will have something." The others started looking around. "And if anyone has a phone it would be wise to get some help" Lulu added thoughtfully.

"I do!!" Rikku jammed her hand into her pocket and dug out her mobile. She flipped the screen up her fingers punching in some numbers…the screen went blank. She frowned and opened and closed the phone again…the screen blanked before she could touch the pad. "Oh Poopie! I thought I had charged this thing!" Rikku felt defeated…

"KUPO!!"

Rikku's ears perked at the sudden noise, she turned. Yuna stood with pink mobile in hand and a very red face.

"Uh…I charged before I left and…uh" Her face grew redder by the second, Yuna was hoping no one picked up on her Moogle welcome sound.

"Found it ya!" Wakka was over by an open door. "Got to be something we can use in the basement ya? But it's sorta dark down there…ya"

"Oh! I got a flashlight in my bag! I'll go get it!" Yuna started skipping for the stairs.

Yuna bounded over to her bed as she came into her room, she pulled her bag from beneath the bed. The bag bounced slightly on the mattress, Yuna tore open the rip and rummaged through for the item in question. The mist ominously swirled outside, the tree visible through the room's window. Yuna jumped with delight as she pulled the torch from her bag, she quickly flicked it on and off…she flicked it one again. Something shone silver near the window it huge in one long line…Yuna froze up as something dark lower its head. The brown furred face growled at her barring its teeth…Yuna switched the torch off…the window crashed in. Panicking she made a mad dash for the only cover…the closet…she slammed the door shut. The hairy arm crashed through the wooden door like it was a toothpick, Yuna ducked as it swiped across only catching her cheek. She yelled for help, the arm retracted the sound of glass and a leap. All was silent…Yuna's heart pounded in her chest as she slowly stood up from the closet floor. A hot pain came to her cheek and a warm trickle of red came from her neat cut. Shaking, Yuna peered through the hole left by the creature…nothing stirred in the room…a warm sense brushed Yuna's neck. Yuna stiffened her body turning slowly towards a very light breathing. Her arms rose at a painfully slow pace the torch flicking to life as the cone of light made its way up the darkness. Her heartbeat quickened, the light came on a furred face…a set of bared teeth…a low growl…a warm breath. She shook with terror tears coming to her eyes…the dark furred creature lunged at her!

"No way!! Bad idea!!" Gippal waved his arms in front of him making a cutting motion, Yuna stopped short on the stairs. "Paine you go with her!" Yuna and Paine exchanged a look of surprise between each other, then headed upstairs together.

"What was that all about Gippal?" Nooj asked calmly while the other man calmed down.

"I just don't want the whole 'Oh will go get it!' then 'Oh my god the monster! It's after me!!" then the 'Anyone seen where so and so has went? She's not came back yet'. And then the whole finding the body in the hiding spot thing!" Gippal took a huge breath panting heavily, Nooj just looked at him.

"Oh Yevon…" Rikku said quietly and partly terrified, everyone in the room turned their attention to her. "It's really going to happen…we're all gonna die! First they'll get Wakka or Tidus, or maybe just take one of them so we're down to one funny guy! Then they'll go after the blondes which means Leblanc will go first cause the bitchy ones usually do! Then I'll get killed next cause I'm the bouncy one and I'll probably get taken by surprise and not be able to fight them off! Then the hot guy will die because he wandered away from the other to do his hair or something! Then they'll get the tough girl so that mean Paine wont make it!! Then they'll pick off the hurt guy so Nooj will go!! Then they pick off the smart girl so Yunie will get taken towards the end when the last ones think its all over!!! Then it will boil down to the silent cute guy and the really quiet, smart, dark girl!!! But they'll drive away together and when they think it's all over!!!! They turn round in the seat and ONE RIGHT BEHIND THEM!!!!!" Rikku had managed to say the whole thing in one sentence…everyone was really quiet while Rikku caught her breath.

"…Then we find out this place is built over an ancient Yevon burial ground! And zombie start popping up outside and then they'll start dancing…and this is THRILLER!! THRILLER!!" Tidus started doing the dance, Wakka was the only one who laughed. The rest had just though Tidus and Rikku had cracked.

"Sorry it took so long!" Yuna bounced down the stairs, Paine followed at a steady pace. "Did I miss something?" Yuna asked innocently as she noticed Rikku having a nervous break down and Tidus doing some sort of dance. Yuna gave the flashlight to Gippal who was at the bottom of the stairs.

"…You have no idea…come on…let's just find something to board up these windows" Gippal felt exhausted as he started down into the basement.

They watch…and wait…
