Nightshift 29: M1-M10 Hallway

[Currently from within M2]

Daemon been half afraid this night would be a repeat of last, that he would continue, night after night, to be trapped as a puppet of this place. An illogical fear, maybe, but there all the same. He'd been used for such things for far too long to not anticipate a re-occurrence. The relief he felt when none were forthcoming was almost breathtaking in its force.

Settling back on his bed, he made himself comfortable, fully intending to wait for Renji to show up for their scheduled brawl. He was actually looking forward to, an equal meeting, a way to work off some of the frustration and helpless rage this place was so good at instilling in them. He was certain he could use the outlet as much as the redhead.

Darkness fell, and the radio snapped on overhead once, then again, signaling the change of things out in the building, although there was no doctor taunting them this night, only the harsh gutteral sounds of a transformed nurse, if his guess was right. He listened to the words with a fierce frown, sliding his legs over the bed and wondering if he should really be waiting here in his room while others were being dragged away for much worse tortures than he'd endured last night...

The pondering lasted all of a moment. That was when he felt it. Felt her.

For one long moment, he stood there in the center of the room, frozen in shock, and then a roar of disbelief and fury escaped him, the temperature dropping to an icy degree within the four walls, a covering of frost coating the furniture almost instantly as his rage unleashed. Without pausing to grab anything other than his flashlight to illuminate his way, Daemon tore out of the room, following the faint pulse of familiar Ebony power that filled him with both furious and joyous relief.

She was here. She was here and afraid, and she was alive.

[Going here.]

This was not what the spider had wanted. There was no way for it to crawl back and hope it would back off. In a moment of panic, it turned to scurry away as quickly as it could, leaving its body open for a split second before it could retreat.

[fight concluded with David's permission]

There was the opening he'd been looking for. Renji ran forward, leaping onto the thing's back and plunging his sword down into its eyes. He didn't trust there to be vulnerable spots elsewhere on it.

The blade struck true and the spider shrieked, bucking and flailing. Renji hung on to his sword; he wasn't losing that or letting it get broken. With one mighty lunge, the spider threw him off, sending him into the wall again. But that was it; it was in its death throes. Renji picked himself up, leaning against the wall, and watched it die.

His shoulder and arm still burning with poison, he headed back slowly the way he'd come. Daemon was over by the female block, and River would be over there as well. Either way, it was where he needed to be.
