-Feyhollow Town - Feyhollow Wood-

"There better not be anything but Butch through those trees," Juana said, marching in the direction Leavanny pointed out (careful not to step in any webs). She waded through the bushes and emerged in a clearing. There were pawprints all over the ground, all of which led into a dead end by a bunch of flowers and briars. Juana looked up, and spotted a myriad of Pokémon staring back. Hoothoots, a Gligar, some Butterfree... they all had a strange, dazed expression, as if in some sort of trance.

Juana stepped back. "Well, this is unsettling," she muttered.

A Beedrill wandered into the clearing. Suddenly, a huge Comfey jumped out of the bushes and started spinning wildly. The Comfey was about a foot larger than normal size, and had a myriad of more colorful flowers adorning its tail. A sickly-sweet pungent odor filled the clearing, causing Juana to become a little dizzy. The Beedrill's eyes dimmed; the Comfey had put it under some kind of spell.

Comfey turned towards Juana and gave a sneaky grin.

Suddenly, it loosed a Fairy Wind attack upon Juana, sending her and Bounsweet reeling back into the bushes. "HOLY--" Juana started, before tumbling into the brambles. "OW-AGH!"

Bounsweet squealed.

Lord have mercy, if we get out of this I am never making a joke about Comfey again, Juana thought, struggling to pull herself out of the bushes.

Comfey spun again, this time prompting the swarm of Butterfree to rush at the three trainers with a Tackle. Juana and Bounsweet ducked.

"Skorupi!" Juana called, as she waved off the Butterfree. She tossed the ball and Skorupi popped out, eyeing the giant Comfey.

"Poison Sting!" Juana ordered.

Skorupi skittered forth and jabbed its tail into Comfey's body for super-effective damage. The Comfey reeled back and growled in a very un-cutesy fashion.

The massive lei-monster whirled around and around, making hooting noises. In a flurry, the Hoothoots sailed into the fray, their eyes blank, their beaks poised for Skorupi's carapace. Juana ripped herself out of the brambles and on top of Skorupi, protecting it from the relentless owl pecks. "Bounsweet, Rapid Spin!" Juana shouted.

Bounsweet got the owls off Juana's back--literally. Juana was covered in scratches, and her shirt was torn where the Hoothoots were the roughest. Juana felt something damp and warm spread out on her shirt, and swore under her breath.

She looked up when she heard a deep howl.

"Uh, muchachos?" she gulped, standing up and watching the bushes rustle.

A dark shape leaped out of the bushes with a fearsome bark.

"I think we found our lost dog."

@Dusksong @Lugubrious

With shaking legs, Ella stood up. Leisy was right. There was nothing either of them could do to help. Giving one more helpless glance towards the other two trainers, Ella pulled back with Leisy. "I'm sorry..." she choked out through her tight throat and dry mouth.

Why had she and Leisy gone looking for the culprit right away, without doing anything to prepare beforehand? Why hadn't she suggested a training session first, or asked around for more information? It seemed like such an obvious thing to do now that it was too late. As it was, all they'd managed to do was drag two other unprepared trainers into the creature's path, and get several Pokemon badly hurt.

First she'd let down Vivian, and now the residents of Stillwater... So much for helping people. Maybe she should have listened to her mother after all, and stuck with her cleaning job.

The only thing she and Leisy could do now was fix as much of the damage as possible. "We've got to get to the Pokemon centre!" she said, heading in the direction of the building. If the Malamar had done that to a Tentacruel, what had it done to the Inkay, to the Sewaddle, to Brighteye?

"Thank you. I thought it be easier to catch the Onix, since she could crush us just by rolling over. " Tora responded to the others as they noted her new catch, before pausing as the Leavanny seemed to chat with Bounsweet before they both seemed to point a direction. Perhaps the bug pokemon had seen where Butch had run off too? It was then Juana was attacked by a large Comfey, who seemed to be the one behind making the other Pokemon act a bit funny.

"Lady Juana, are you alright?!" Tora exclaimed, hopping off of Pezi as she moved to Juana, fingers lacing along the younger girl's back in examination. Feeling the warmth of blood, Tora quickly took off her backpack and rummaged through it. Taking out a towel and pressing against the scratches. "Sirius, bubbles please." she said, the staryu flitting some bubbles from a limb gently against the towel to help.

"Archie, fire spin!" Tora called to her fire pokemon, the Growlithe growling before breathing a stream of flames that encircled into a fire tornado, ramming against the controlled pokemon and their puppet master. Looking up as a howl was made, Archie growled, fur fluffing and howling in alarm.

"I'm starting to feel like this isn't our day." she murmured.

Cillian Weiss

— Feyhollow Town Outskirts —

Cillian looked on with surprise as the Comfey took over the Beedrill. Mind control? Well that’s new, he thought frowning just as the Comfey turned and spotted Juana, face lighting up in mirth before it struck.

“Haz, Flame Burst!” Cillian shouted. Energy gathered in a spherical formation in the Charmander’s mouth as it leaped forward, casting the fireball at the Comfey and driving it back as Tora’s Growlithe performed a Fire Spin. Rushing to Juana’s side, Cillian glanced over her with apprehensive horror. “We need to get you to a hospital,” he said, eyes wide as he rummaged through his bag, pulling out a standard but small medikit that was part of his camping supplies. “Here, Tora. You’re probably better at this than I am,” Cillian said, handing the black-haired girl the medikit.

A howl sounded from behind a bush just as a Granbull burst out, eyes glazed over in the Comfey’s signature mind control look. “Hazmat, Smokescreen!” Cillian yelled, hoping the smoke would provide an adequate distraction for Tora to patch up Juana. “Follow that up with a Dragon Rage, Haz,” Cillian called, pulling out another Pokeball and opening it. His Mudkip appeared at his side, eyes fierce and ready for the battle.

“Kelb, Rock Throw at the Granbull,” Cillian said. “Let’s try to take it down without hurting it too much.”

Hoothoot attacks, a killer Comfey of Doom, and Butch gone bonkers. Heck yes, this wasn't their day. On top of this, Comfey was exuding this noxious sickly-sweet odor that was making her dizzy.

"It might be that Comfey's smell that's intoxicating all those Pokémon," Juana grunted, turning to glance back as Tora and Cillian tended to her back. "So if we can kick that thing's butt--ow, that stings--then it should free all the birds and bugs and most importantly Butch."

She looked back forward as the rock beaned Butch in the head. The Granbull momentarily blinked, and looked around as if confusion.

Comfey growled and ket out another wave of fairy potpourri-o'-death, bringing Butch back to La-la Land.

Comfey was hit with the Smokescreen, obscuring its vision. However, when the Dragon Rage struck, Comfey shrugged it off as if it were nothing.

However, the flames of Fire Spin licked at Comfey, preventing it from moving out of the vortex.

“Skorupi, get it with a Poison Sting!” Juana shouted.

Skorupi scuttled forth to the prone Fairy-type and stung it from behind. The Comfey whirled around, attempting to find its opponent.

Butch, however, slammed into Skorupi, throwing the scorpion into a tree trunk. The bug let out a squeak and crumpled into the bush. Skorupi attempted to get up, but the Hoothoots were circling around, ready to peck Skorupi now.

Leisy Takigawa

— Outskirts of Stillwater —

“Agreed,” Leisy said, following behind Ella. “We’ll be heading back to town first — best of luck,” she said as she passed Olivie and the other trainer. Keeping pace with Ella, Leisy soon saw the roofs of Stillwater in the distance, and the two girls headed straight for the Pokemon Center. Depositing all her Pokeballs on the counter, Leisy waited agitatedly as the man who ran the Pokemon Center appeared. “We really need to get our Pokemon patched up,” she told him, indicating her Pokeballs.

The man nodded, picking them up and depositing them in the machine behind him one by one. “So, what’d you young’uns run off and do, gettin’ all roughed up like so?” he asked, starting up the rather old-looking machine.

“We met a wild Malamar — probably the one that’s causing all the nightmares around town,” Leisy explained, thanking the man as he handed all her Pokeballs back. Looking at the six red-topped capsules gathered in her arms, Leisy felt an overwhelming amount of responsibility for their helplessness against the Malamar. As a trainer, it was her job to provide the necessary training and determine the battles best fit for her Pokemon as to not get them hurt. On some level, she’d failed today, although she’d managed to get away relatively unscathed.

"Thank you Mr. Weiss." Tora said, gratefully taking the medkit before turning to Juana. "Pardon me Lady Juana." she whispered before lifting the back of the younger girl's shirt to get a better look at the injuries. Cleaning up the blood with some cloth and treating it with some ointment and the like. It would definitely hurt with cuts these deep, but it needed to be done. Glancing to the battle, she saw Skorupi in trouble and she looked to her Staryu.

"Sirius, Power Gem!" she instructed, the water type giving a 'Hyah!' before spinning in the air, gem glowing brilliantly. Mystical glowing gems shooting out and smacking against the flock in order to drive them off.

"Archie, Flame Burst!" Tora called, the puppy Pokemon giving a yip before turning on the Comfey and Butch, opening her jaws and releasing a ball of flames at the fairy type trapped in the vortex, the ball of fire would smack against the mischievous pokemon and bounce off towards Butch. Hopefully distracting the large dog from attacking the other Pokemon.

“Comfey, huh,” Cillian said, looking at the Fairy-type that was wearing an awfully knowing grin for a Pokemon. “All right. That Comfey’s going down.”

Juana’s call to her Skorupi called Cillian’s attention away from ordering Hazmat and the Charmander’s battle with the Comfey, and Cillian saw that the Poison-type needed some help. “Mudkip, trap the Granbull with a Whirlpool!” Cillian called to his Pokemon. The blue-and-orange Water-type immediately called forth a spiral of frolicking water that wrapped around the purple Fairy-type, blocking it from view and effectively trapping it inside.

Cillian turned back to the Comfey, a grin stretching on his face when he realized it was trapped by Tora’s Growlithe’s Fire Spin from earlier. “Haz, let’s try that Flame Burst again,” Cillian said. Nodding, his Charmander charged the Fairy-type trapped in the swirling fire, spitting a fireball at the twister to recharge the flames. Additional flames ricocheted off the spiral, driving off what remained of the Hoothoot flock.

Not wanting to get hit by rock crystals or licking flames, the Hoothoot flock scattered in a panic. Butch, trapped in the spinning water vortex, could not move, and was instead dizzied trying to orient itself.

The Comfey looked around nervously. Everything was coming apart around it.

Skorupi, freed from the wrath of tiny owls, leaped out of the bushes. "Skorupi, Poison Sting that guy!" Juana ordered. Skorupi's pincers lunged at the Comfey and struck.

The Fairy-type was badly exhausted at this point, but it wouldn't give up its playthings easily. It went for a Fairy Wind upon Skorupi, since it was the closest target. Skorupi scoffed and stung Comfey again.

Juana turned back. "Hey, Cillian, when your Mudkip bonked the dog over the head, Comfey lost control for a sec. Think that'll work again?"

“Let’s give it a try,” Cillian said, looking to Kelby. “Kelb, Rock Throw at the Granbull again.”

The Mudkip nodded, slamming his tail against the ground and stirring up a rock as to hurl it at the larger Fairy-type. Colliding against the Granbull with a dull thud, the rock rolled off, leaving the purple Pokemon disoriented. Its eyes widened slightly, confused as it picked itself up off the ground and looked around.

A shriek sounded from the Comfey when it realized that the Granbull was free again, and it immediately attempted another puff of sparkling pink miasma only to be thwarted by an incoming poison sting from Juana’s Skorupi. Seeing that Hazmat was having some fun chasing off the Hoothoot, Cillian looked towards Tora. “Here’s your chance!” he called to her.

Hearing Cillian, Tora nodded and looked to Archie and called out to her Fire Pokemon. "Archie, Fire Fang!" she called, a confirming yip comming from the puppy pokemon. The orange ball of fur charged foreword, leaping into the flame tornado, fangs enveloping in fire as she glared fiercly and let out a vicious snarl.

"GRAAAAAH!" Archie snarled, jaws opened and clamping the Comfey between the flame enveloped jaws, scorching the flowers it held into a burning inferno. Exiting the flame inferno that dissipated when the Growlithe dispersed from it. The Fairy Pokemon firmly trapped in between the dog like pokemon's fangs, whom didn't look at all happy and had a fierce glare. As if ready to gobble up the Comfey for good measure.

Tora sighed in relief, returning Sirius and looking to the others. "Everyone alright?" she asked.

The Comfey wriggled about as Bounsweet and Skorupi ran over to the dazed Granbull, helping it back to the three trainers.

“Butch, here boy,” Juana said, clicking her tongue and beckoning the Granbull. Butch heard her familiar voice and bounded towards her barking as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, Corphish popped out of its ball, scuttled up to Archie, and yanked Comfey’s tail, pulling the Fairy out of Archie’s jaws. The crawdad scuttled up a tree, and with a swift motion, tied the posy-picker Pokémon to a branch. The Fairy-type wriggled in frustration, but Corphish laughed.

“Oh, come on, Corphish, don’t be cruel,” Juana said.

Corphish poked Comfey a couple of times before shimmying back down the tree.

Juana picked Bounsweet up and stood. “Well, we got the dog,” she said, glancing over to Butch. “Thankfully he’s not too hurt, though from the looks of it he’s got a bit of a headache from taking to rocks to the face.”

Butch pawed its forehead a couple of times as if looking for the sore spot.

“Anyway, we should probably get out of this forest pronto, just in case that Comfey has some unsavory friends,” Juana said.

Archie tilted her head as Corphish snatched the Comfey from her jaws, before scurrying off to leave it a little tied up in a tree branch. The puppy pokemon gave a yip and wagged her fluffy tail in approval. Glad that the troublesome Comfey was now out of the way.

Tora sighed before looking at Juana, quickly pulling down the tattered shirt before the younger girl stood up. "Glad we located Butch. You are correct, we should return to town as soon as we are able.... We.... don...t want further trouble." the tall woman murmured, slightly pausing between her sentence. Now that the excitement was over, she could feel her chest tighten painfully, and she felt so cold, throat drying up again. Did she have a fever? It was hard to think. There was no time for rest though, already they had taken much time and she was growing more anxious by the second. She would have to make it to the next town.

Walking foreword, trying her best to walk as graceful as she usually did, but she did slightly waver and had to place her hand on a trunk of a tree to catch herself, before continuing back to town. Archie and Pezi quickly jogged after her, Pezi obliviously bounding about while Archie gazed at her trainer with a bit of concern etching the puppy's eyes.

@LuckyBlackCat

Tommy smiled and nodded. He could understand why Feyhallow would seem less appealing after the ordeal she'd just been through. "Well, I was thinking Tefan Village, to the south. Lots of different types of Pokemon live down there, plus far as I know, there's no history of evil Pokemon." After a short discussion on the matter that lead through breakfast, the pair boarded the train headed for the town on the edge of a Volcano.

---

A short two hour ride later and the pair found themselves able to see where the volcano was from the station, a large plume of smoke rising into the air even though it was a confirmed inactive mountain of fire. "So, got any Pokemon you wanna catch in the local area? I hear there's some good fire types."

“Sounds like a plan,” Cillian said in response to Juana’s suggestion to head back to town. “Let’s get on with it and get our Pokemon healed up, grab a lunch, and travel to Zephyr Strip.”

Pausing, Cillian looked back at the Comfey. “What should we do with the rogue Comfey? I doubt we’d be able to carry it all the way back to town, although we could try,” he said, frowning as he looked at the Fairy-type in question. Eyes fierce despite its loss, the Comfey did not appear to have given up yet, struggling against Archie’s fangs. Kelby spat a bubble at the struggling Pokemon while Haz — ever the happy-go-lucky Charmander he was — simply hopped around, alternating which foot he balanced his weight on as he tuned out the world.

“Alright, back to town it is, you two,” Cillian said, laughing as he shooed his Pokemon alongside him as he walked behind Tora. After about a minute, black-haired girl paused and took to resting against a nearby tree. “Whoa, Tora you alright?” Cillian asked, coming to a stop beside the girl.

Juana nodded to Cillian. "I think I've had enough of fairytale lands for one day. If I checked my Pokédex correctly there should be some trains leading to the Strip a bit due west of Feyhollow," she said, wincing a bit (for the wounds inflicted by the pecking Hoothoots stung). "Corphish? Would you be a lamb and snip that branch?"

Corphish climbed up, poked Comfey one more time before making one swift Vice Grip attack and cutting the branch off the tree. Juana caught the branch and slung it over her shoulder, the grumpy fairy dangling off the tip of the branch like a hitchhiker's sack.

Juana gave a concerned glance to Tora. "We'd better hoof it, I don't think the air's good for Tora. Especially not with this chupacabra stinking up the forest."

Comfey blew a spiteful raspberry.

"Don't make us tie your arms together, too," Juana threatened the fairy.

Juana led the three trainers, along with Butch, back to the Pokémon Center. Penny was quite ecstatic to see the Granbull safe and sound.

"You're gonna wanna keep this fellow away from the fairies at night, míja," Juana said, jangling the helpless giant Comfey tied to the stick.

Some of the other patrons were murmuring about that Comfey.

Penny's mother took Penny's hand. "Thank you for finding my daughter's Pokémon," she said to Tora, Cillian, and Juana. "Penny, please be more careful and responsible next time!"

"Yes, Mommy," Penny replied.

"I'm so sorry if this caused you three any trouble," Penny's mother said. "I hope you can make use of these..."

Juana, Tora, and Cillian each received 5 trainer points and a Rare Candy. Juana gave hers to Bounsweet, elevating the mangosteen Pokémon to Lv. 10.

"You might just be ready to evolve soon, amiga, and after just a few days of travel! Juana marveled. Bounsweet chirped in response.

Juana turned to her friends with a smile. "So! Where to? Getting pecked apart by drunk owls sure works up an appetite!"

She joked about it, sure, but ow, that really freaking hurts. Juana wasn't sure if she was smiling or grimacing. Yep! Definitely gonna have to watch myself in the future!

Location: Feyhollow Town -> Tefan Village

@Zarkun

Just before leaving town, Cici remembered something. "Crap..." she muttered. She'd planned a gig in one of the eateries, and had never turned up. Thankfully, when she went and apologised, the cafe's manager was understanding about it.

"Well that was the most out there sounding no-show explanation," she said to Tommy with a chuckle, heading towards the train station. Before long, they were on their way to Tefan Village, leaving Feyhollow and the incident behind them.

...

Cici opened her eyes to find the scenery outside the carriage window had changed considerably. Mountains replaced trees, and smoke billowed into the sky from the volcano that towered over the village. "Did I sleep for the entire journey?" she asked. She'd had quite enough of drifting off and coming to, disoriented. Tonight, she'd have to actually get some proper sleep.

Stretching out her stiff limbs and aching neck, she gathered up her belongings and followed Tommy into the station. "Well, seeing as you mentioned Dragon types..." she replied to his question about Pokemon types as she walked alongside him.

Cici's reply earned a light chuckle from Tommy as he stopped to read over some information in his Pokedex. "Right, right, Dragon Types, Ghost types...oh, more Fairies, though from what the locals say, they're considerably kinder than those in Feyhallow." He mutters a couple more types to himself before lighting up with a smile suddenly. "Yes! Psychic types! I'll be able to find a Ralts hiding in the local area somewhere." Storing his pokedex, he turns back to Cici with an apologetic smile.

"Sorry, just excited is all. There's a rather rich number of types in the area, compared to Central City and Feyhallow. Wanna stop in town and get rooms first before we head out to get some new friends or get straight to the search?" Tommy himself was already imagining all the different dragon types that made their home on the Volcano and the places he might find a Ralts or even an Eevee. After a moment's thought, he figured Eevee would probably be in or near town.

Reuniting Penny with her Granbull went better than Cillian had thought it would. “Your Granbull seems to like you very much,” Cillian said when he saw the purple Fairy-type cover its owner with slobbery kisses. “Be sure to keep an eye on him from now on.”

Seeing Juana feed her rare candy to her Bounsweet, Cillian figured that he might as well take this time to go ahead and try and round out his team. Reaching to his belt, Cillian unclipped a Pokeball and popped it open, summoning his Scyther. “I’m here to make peace, nothing more,” Cillian said, holding up his hands in surrender when the Scyther pointed a blade at him in a threatening manner.

Noticing the foil-wrapped treat in Cillian’s hands, the Scyther narrowed its eyes, not letting up on its aggressive stance. “Here, this is for you,” Cillian said, attempting to hand the Bug-type the rare candy. Instead, Cillian found the candy snatched from his hands and thrown up into the air. The sound of blades gliding through the air could be heard, and the candy disappeared into the Scyther’s mouth just as the shredded blue foil came raining down around the Pokemon.

“Okay,” Cillian said at last, nodding. “I guess you like rare candies. Noted.” He paused, bringing a hand to his chin as he thought. “Hey, how about ‘Decus’ for a name?”

The Scyther flicked its blades again, not responding. Taking his silence as a “yes,” Cillian grinned.

“Alright then, it’s settled,” he said, returning his Pokemon and looking to Juana and Tora. “Starving here as well. Let’s pick up something to go at one of the small shops around town? Let’s head our own ways for now and then meet up at the station in, say, twenty minutes.”

After a brief foray around town, the trio met up again in front of the train station. Biting onto the sandwich he’d bought, Cillian was organizing his bag after his brief trip to the Pokemart — two Pokeballs, to restock, and three rare candies, to befriend his Scyther.

Seeing Tora and Juana approaching, Cillian zipped up his bag and grabbed his sandwich, biting a chunk off and chewing heartily. “I didn’t even realize how hungry I was,” Cillian said with a laugh. “Well then, let’s get our tickets and get on with it?”

[Lugubrious]

In the same instant, both Bisharp and Malamar lunged forward to attack. By an imperceptible fraction, the wild pokemon proved itself to be faster, and it lashed its foe with a tentacle shrouded in darkness. Bernard shouted a command into the mayhem, but Painkiller retaliated so quickly that Olivie wondered if he heeded his trainer's call at all. Without any regard to the Night Slash that put a slight dent into the side of his helmet-shaped head, Painkiller let loose a metallic screech and launched shards of metal from his bladed ribs into the Malamar, dealing back 150% of the pain delivered to him. After this brief but furious exchange, Gespenst chimed in as best he could, shelling the wild pokemon with an Energy Ball. Just like that, the next flurry began, but this time Painkiller took the initiative. His arm shot forward like a bullet, delivering a steely punch straight to the Malamar's head. Though clearly in pain from the move, the Overturning pokemon's beak was twisted into a smirk, and Olivie felt as though it had a devious plan in store. A vortex of purple and black power surrounded it before coalescing into blades just like Painkiller's, then striking. Bernard muttered darkly under his breath, knowing that Foul Play would turn Painkiller's monstrous attacking ability against him in a hurry.

If he was doubtful, Olivie knew, then the situation must be dire—though what else was new? Time to switch gears. “Sleep Powder!” she called, and Gespenst obeyed. The Cacnea swelled before releasing a blast of glittering dust from his flower crown. It splattered against the Malamar, and for a moment Olivie seized up, thinking that it hadn't taken any effect, but a second later its eyelids began to slip. It could barely keep itself awake. Given ample opportunity, Painkiller readied his blade. Ruthlessly he brought his head crashing down on the Malamar, slicing into its rubbery skin with his blade, and the wild pokemon toppled over. A black liquid oozed from its egregious wound, and its lights had grown dim, but its writhing revealed that it was still alive.

Bernard heaved a sigh of relief. ”Whoa...talk about a close encounter.” He shook his head. ”If it knew Superpower, we would have been done for. Nice Sleep Powder.” Olivie gave him, and then Gespenst, a self-assured smile. They hadn't been useless after all. However, something black and hateful stirred nearby. Movement at the edge of her vision returned her attention to the Malamar, which had risen into the air. Its eyes burned, and red energy steamed from its flesh. While it couldn't be said to have muscles like a human's, they nevertheless bunched up. Bernard took a step back, aghast. ”T-t-that's Superpower! It must have understood me! That's crazy, no wild pokemon should be able to...!”

While his trainer babbled, Painkiller jumped to action. He threw himself headlong at the Malamar, his bladed head gleaming. Again, the Overturning pokemon was faster. It span as if performing a lariat, and its swollen tentacles slammed into the Bisharp with great force. The sound of rending metal split the air, and Painkiller flew backward. When the dust cleared, Olivie saw a massive cleft in his left side, and that his left arm was hanging on only by a thin ribbon of steel. The sight told her everything she needed to know. ”Run!” she bellowed, the word bursting from her lungs. Hesitating only to snatch up Gespenst, she beat a hasty retreat, with Bernard right behind. Painkiller, on his back as the Malamar loomed over him with murder in its eyes, vanished back into his pokeball. They sprinted back toward town.

The old man's eyes widened in disbelief at Ella's words. “Malamar?” he said, the question punctuated by a definite tone of alarm. “Ya don't mean Ole Nasty, do ya? By Giratina, what're the odds...don't tell me ya made 'er mad. She don't have anythin' to do with the nightmares, she keeps to 'erself unless someone crosses 'er. She's downright brutal in a fight, but she's also got...friends. Last folks that troubled 'er escaped, came back into town, and vanished the followin' night. I didn't warn ya 'cause I thought...she hardly never 'pears 'bove ground, durin' the day no less.”[/color] He rubbed his head, his expression one of great worry.
