The Dark

The ground floor stood still as the mist whirled outside, dark figures moved in the bluish smoke. One passed by the window peering in for just a second before disappearing with a growl.

Yuna stepped away from the second storey window as the shadows passed each other outside, the heavy navy curtain falling into place.

"So…their Werewolf's?" Paine raised an eyebrow, especially since this was coming from Lulu. "Did you hit your head?"

Lulu sighed "Paine" She said calmly and very slowly, which put Paine of a little. "All the things we've found in the basement are about them. Also I've skimmed through the diary like you and all the others have. All the evidence so far points to these creatures as being Werewolves…but if it makes you feel more at ease to think these are fiends then you can do so" Paine fell silent turning away from Lulu.

"Why don't they just come at us already?" Rikku still held the edge of her little spy hole open. She'd been spying on them for what seemed like forever.

"Maybe their just not hungry yet" Tidus rubbed the back of his neck.

"Hey! Don't think like that ya!" The group looked at Wakka for his sudden outburst. "I just don't like thinking I'm going to be something's lunch ya!"

"Hey…" Paine suddenly came to something rather chilling as a small argument started up. "Hey!!" She gained everyone's attention "…Where's Leblanc?" A small cracking came from outside.

The group dashed towards the windows each finding their own space. Just a little ways to the left a cellar door was being pushed open, the figure slowly came out. Leblanc's blond hair was all too familiar, she looked around as she carefully came completely out of safety.

"What the in Sin is she thinking?" Gippal whispered as he fearfully watched her form come out.

"Oh Yevon!" Yuna managed to squeak out as Leblanc moved further from the house…further from what little safety they had.

Something moved…something stirred. A new sent was in the air. Rikku felt a chill as she saw one of the dark shadows stop…it's nose turned skywards…it took a long breath then barred it's teeth. A thick mist covering came over the Werewolf, Rikku squinted fighting to see it…the thickness cleared…nothing was there.

"…They know…" Rikku felt her blood run cold as Goosebumps came over her body and a cold finger ran itself down her spine.

Leblanc wandered on unaware of the hunters moving in on her…forming a circle…closing in. Her eyes darted from side to side, her being chilled to the bone. She froze…something dark was silhouetted against the mist, something big…something animal. She stepped back, a hot breathe hit her back as her body knocked into something. Hot tears began to creep from the corners of Leblanc's eye, not tears of sadness…but tears of fear, tears of terror…tears for the fate that was about to befall her. Something razor hot broke from Leblanc's side a growl coming from behind her. Panic gripped her as she made a mad dash for freedom, the blood spilling from the deep gash in her side. She was thrown to the ground by one a terrible pain coming from her back as it's teeth dove into her flesh. She screamed in vain as the others closed in…ripping her body to shreds in their terrible feast. Leblanc gave a gurgle as they pulled away from her…her body lay in ruins. Flesh lay in long tattered strands…muscle flayed and torn…body gushing from her still dying form. A paw dropped next to her, her glazing over eyes draw up to the form. It was the alpha Werewolf…the leader of the pack. It's head draw back letting out a howl…Leblanc was still conscious when it bite down on her neck…forever sealing her fate…

Rikku squirmed her hands driving for the window handles. Before anyone could stop her, she'd wrenched the old window open her lungs filling with air.

"Leblanc run!!!" She looked up at Rikku terrified. "They now your there now RUN!!!!" Rikku nearly felt her voicebox break as her shouted raised into a terrified scream.

The shadows rushed in, Leblanc took of sprinting madly into the mist as the dark shapes gave chase. However, one came towards the house…at full speed.

"CLOSE THE WINDOW!!" Tidus lunged for the frame almost falling out while doing so. He knew that speed, that was no run…that speed was meant for a jump.

The pains closed shut, Yuna turning the handle to lock the windows in place. Gippal stepped back over to the window, only in time to see the shape dash through the cellar door. He stood there in silence the noise playing in the background, his mind was mulling over what he'd just saw. Every part of him wanted to deny what he'd just saw, he hoped it was the stress playing tricks on him. If…if that things in here…oh man are we in trouble. Gippal took hold of the curtain for some comfort, he was thinking of how to break the news to the others.

"Huh" Came a small unsure whimper from Yuna as the lights suddenly flickered. "Did-did we lose power?"

The light flickered casting long shadow then held still glowing brighter. The shadows on the wall growing larger and more monstrous, looking as if they were about to turn on there owners. Then the light faded slowly…plunging everything into darknesss.

"Something knocked the generator out…" Baralai's voice was a whisper. "I'll try and-" A large crash sounded from downstairs "Hide!" Baralai added in a harsh whisper.

Wakka threw open a closet door as Baralai opened the one on the other side of the room. The teens dived in one after another sharing themselves out between each. Baralai, Yuna, Tidus, Rikku and Gippal were on the left side closet. While Lulu, Wakka, Nooj and Paine were on the right hand closet. Baralai and Paine silently closed the sliding door, no one dared to move. The room sat in silence, terrified glances exchanged between the occupants and eyes fixing on the door. The sound of a footstep came from outside, a growl followed. Gippal slowly moved a little away from the closet door, Rikku and Yuna huddled in the corner. The door flow open almost flying off the hinges from the force, a growl came from outside. Baralai felt something fall on his shoulder as a strong grip came to his arm, he looked down to a terrified Rikku. Yuna covered her ears as her head darted down, she shook with terror like her cousin, Gippal put an arm around Yuna for comfort. The snout came beyond the doorframe followed soon by the muscular body of the Werewolf. Paine slowly moved back trying to keep herself in check, her heart was pounding in her chest.

The Werewolf turned to the right, it's eyes piercing through the wood and also through Paine. Her legs refused to move as her eyes connected with the mad feral ones of the werewolf. Paine's her leapt as it took a slow step towards her hiding place, eye still on her. Paine was lost in a void of terror…a terror so strong it made her want to scream. A hand covered her mouth just as the urge came, a strong set of arms pulled her back into a warm hold. She looked up at Wakka, who gave a gentle smile in return. Paine turned away from the terrify scene burying her head into Wakka's shoulder. And for once…a hot tears dropped from Paine's eye her fear manifesting in a different form. Lulu placed a hand on Paine's head as the werewolf still came closer. Suddenly the werewolf stopped, it's ears perking head turning. It growled turning and charging through the still open door leaving the terrified group in silence. Gippal slowly reached for the door, but he stopped sort of the slot…his hand draw back.

The minutes passed…finally one of the closets slowly slide open. Baralai poked his head out, he nodded back then fully opened the door. Gippal came out, when he was fully through Baralai shut the slide the closet door shut again. Lulu moved to their door but froze, Gippal had signed for them to wait there she watched as the two crept out of the room. Gippal stepped on the first stair mustering all the stealth he could, Baralai was first into the main room. None of the windows had been knocked in and all the doors were still closed. Gippal stop short of his step…he looked into the black of the basement.

"Should we really do this?" Gippal kept his voice barely above a whisper.

"We need to close that door…I'll go first, I'm lighter" Baralai stepped onto the stairs a small creaking coming from under him.

They cringed with every step, the stairs seemed to be noisier than before. Baralai peered into the darkness his eyes seeing no dark shapes. Gippal looked around, his knowledge of electronics leading him to the power box. Three large gashes had put the power box out of commission…not even Rikku and himself combined could fix this. Baralai took a brave step onto the stairs outside, his heart beat became faster with each step he took towards the top. The woods outside were eerily quiet the mist just bordering on the top step, small parts of mist floating down onto the top step. Baralai didn't dare to go to that step…something in him was warning him not to. The hairs on the back of his neck were standing on end, he took a breath though his nose as he reached for one of the doors…his hand rested on it. Baralai started pulling the door shut…it caught on something, he gave a tug but it wouldn't budge. A dark clawed hand was on top of the door…Baralai felt his blood run cold as the Werewolf's head came slowly over the frame…looking right at him.

"GIPPAL!" Baralai shouted in terror as the Werewolf growled at him.

Gippal heard the yell, he turned his heart leaping as he saw Baralai nearly face to face with one of them. He grabbed something nearby, something heavy as Baralai was grabbed on the arm and pulled from the stairs. Gippal charged up the stairs.

"Lai! Duck!" Gippal swung as Baralai ducked as best as he could.

The heavy blow hit the Werewolf on the side of the head, Baralai felt his arm released and made for the basement door. Gippal rushed back grabbing the one of the doors as Baralai took the other, the Werewolf shook of the blow. The door slammed shut the two boys breathing heavily.

"Thanks" Baralai panted from his almost about to die experience, he was still hold the door shut with all his might like Gippal.

"Hey what are friends for, right?" Gippal kept his hold on the door…it suddenly jumped upwards. "Yevon this thing doesn't give up!!" In a quick thought Gippal jammed his weapon in the door.

"RUN!" The two made for the stairs as the door splintered and cracked under the assault.

Gippal bombed up the stairs, his mind working for a way to block of the staircase. He ran to the refrigerator and pulled with all his might. Baralai cleared the stairs and intently saw what Gippal was doing, he quickly ran over to help. The two gritted their teeth as the fridge came away from the wall, they strained themselves pushing with everything they had. They had to seal of that door…and they only had a little time to do it with.

"Come on Gippal PUSH!"

"What do you THINK I'm DOING!!"

The basement door caved in with a shower of splinters as a dark shaped burst through it.

"PUSH! COME ON!" They could both hear the door coming in from down stairs and the quick running. The fridge had caught on a small part of the floor and was refusing to move…Gippal had started singing 'That doggie in the window' like a mad man.

The Werewolf slammed into the back of the fridge, Gippal's hand came to rest on something cold and hard. His mind came back to him as he swung at the Werewolf with whatever he had in hand. Baralai quickly lent over and grabbed the handle of the fridge door, all the while praying that Gippal could keep the thing busy. Baralai wrenched the door up fully and pushed with what he had left, Gippal heaved on the fridge as it went perfectly over the door. The two collapsed against the back of the fridge…they were spent.

Gippal gave a small laugh. "Hey…Baralai?" He managed to get out between breaths.

"Y…Yeah?" Baralai panted.

"We…we just fought them off…with a stick of bread" Baralai turned a quick eye to Gippal.

The two started to chuckle, which grew into laughter, which came to hysterical laughter.
