They walked for a long while, the wordless interaction leaving no room for enjoyment in the pair's company. It seemed random, leading the girl down one street to another, but soon enough they ended up at a large apartment building. It was old-fashioned and terribly rundown; there were walls missing, with a creaky sign hanging above the arches that gave the whole place a creepy air beneath the darkening sky. 

The figure suddenly came up and pointed a finger to a brick wall. 

"Knock... and it will be opened to you." said the being, the voice still low, leaving their gender still incomprehensible. Though spoken quietly, the words seemed to weigh down the air around the two.

Pressing down lightly, the being dragged the finger in bizarre ups and downs across the wall. For a brief moment, nothing was happening until an image began to form. A faint purple symbol was being drawn upon the wall, the circular shape beginning flow off the surface. Peculiar letters and shapes lined the entire diagram, most of which just looked like gibberish to others. Stepping back, the robed being placed both hands flat at the center, both touching at the palms. Slowly rotating them, the magic symbol turned in response. 

All at once, the letterings vanished, and the symbol immediately tore into the wall, creating an opening into a pale white hallway. From this side, all they could see was a row of doors with markings too small to read.

The figure then turned, making a ushering gesture with a swing of an arm, "You first."

For the first time, under illumination of the purple symbol behind, the mysterious being's face was shown; however, just barely. A single purple eye watch Melissa, or rather, an eye and a strange metal covering in place of the other.

The creature licked the woman's face, ignoring her helpless cries. When it heard the man speak once more it turned from the shadows to expose it's face, if there was one. A mangled, rotten jaw with long forked tongue hung below the flat featureless upper skull. The dimming sunlight showed a long and skinny body that had small patches of gray hair lining it's black shriveled torso. Five moldy arms dragged from it's side, two at the left and 3 on the right. The twisted claw was coming from it's chest, large and disproportional to the remaining mass. The rest was still hidden by the darkness, though there is much doubt whether anyone would want to know what else this thing has for show.

It hissed despite making no motion with it's mouth, breaking into another fit of snickering, "Haha! Playing the hero are we?! Look where that brought you!" 

Leaving the woman, it lunged forward with a slam of it's arms, it's long tongue lashing out for the man.
