Chapter three

They sit down in the lounge, Vince is like the reluctant teenager who doesn't want to talk to his parents who keep poking and prodding until they get answers. He sits gently on the coffee table, his hands pressed firmly under his legs almost as though he were trying to stop them from doing their own thing. Howard and Naboo sit opposite on the couch while Bollo makes tea in the kitchen, the two watch Vince, he bites his lip, keeps his vision on the floor, his eyes only drift up a few split seconds to see if they are still starring at him, which they are then they snap back to the floor. He bobs his head forward letting his hair slip forwards to cover his face, to conceal it and to stop them from looking at him.

"Tell us what happened." Naboo pushes, he sits forward with his elbows propped on his knees, he waits patiently, stares at the mod, makes him feel unnerved and makes him fidget uncomfortably "Did something attack you...A Demon?"

"Everything attacked me!" He snaps not meaning to sound so harsh. He bites his lip again cursing himself for speaking in such a foul tone to his friend. He leans back slightly trying to get away from their burning gazes.

"Was it something besides a Demon?" He shrugs in reply, a half hearted shrug showing he doesn't care when secretly he does. Naboo doesn't sigh and doesn't loose his patience, he just carries on, digging through Vince's mind, hoping to get answers, not stopping until he does "Was it a spirit?" Another shrug "It was something though, right?" This time he nods back, now he resembles a toddler who knows he has been naughty "Describe it." He looks up at them both for the first time in a while, his ice blue eyes stare into Naboo's.

"Cloaked. She wore a black cloak and a white robe." He mutters, his voice is barely audible making Howard sit forward.

"She?"

"Yes."

"Where were you when you met her?" The younger man looks up, suddenly his face is full of fear, his speech becomes broken as he stutters out words hoping he makes sense.

"The sky looked like blood, twisted into discomforting forms. Cracked, bleeding, sore lips, disgusting for a woman that was once of such marvellous beauty. Skin as white as snow, outlines of bones showing through the flesh on the hands." Naboo sat back, his friend didn't sound like himself at all. His voice had taken a different tone, his eyes were wide with insanity, his skin had dropped a few shades getting paler with each word he uttered "Demons stampeding forwards, desperate to chew on his flesh, his fresh tasty skin!" Vince stood starring down hard at his three friends, his fists clenched into threatening balls "Lilac nail varnish, chipped and worn but still shining through just as colourful as ever! The rings, those beautiful gems and diamonds. One, the most powerful a mysterious shade of Ocean Blue. He was scared! He feared me, oh I pity the fool but I made him trust me. He had no choice! He was perfect, a scared, frightened little child who just wanted to wake up and go home back to the comfort of his friends! I relaxed him, soothed him with my voice, calmed his mind and soul then got inside his head, pushed power through his body, forcing its way inside! Oh his screams were so loud they could have woken the dead!" He laughs maliciously then suddenly gasps for breath bending over, he stumbles back and grabs the banister for some support, he stares at them with wide scared eyes. They just look back each looking as confused as the other, even slightly terrified.

"Her eyes…" Vince stutters, his grip loosening slightly on the wood "Her eyes were the colour of rubies." He shrinks down onto his knees loosing his clutch on the wood completely, his hands press against the carpeted floor, his feet become numb with pins and needles, his body quakes as he gasps for breath completely terrified at what had happened. He looks up at his friends who sit in their places just starring at him, his vision blurs, everything spins then darkness envelopes him completely.
