Night 49: West Wing, North Hall 1-B

Heat weighed his options as he stepped into the hall. He could go left, head outside and see if one of those birds came down for him to make a meal out of again, or he could go right and head toward the main hall - see who showed up. While he was hungry, it was more likely that monsters would be there at any point, while patients would meet up and move on before he could reach them.

It wasn't as if he expected to find anyone. No other Embryon had arrived after he had, and those that had been here when he arrived were all gone now. Still, it couldn't hurt to check. He still hadn't seen Cielo. Maybe he was due for a visit.

The darkness here didn't reveal much that the last hallway had, minus a few more extra heads. But he wasn't dealing with them. He was satiated - even if it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted by them - and could concentrate on the task at hand.

He didn't bother trying to pick up her trail since it would be long-gone either way, and it would definitely have been dissipated by the air from outside. Surprisingly, the door wasn't already opened - as it always was when he had been outside. Maybe he'd been the first to be here?

No. He had to check, at least. There wasn't a pause - except to test for Venom's presence - or hesitation in his movements when he opened the door to the field.

She had been there before, therefore that was where she was? It was poor logic but, again, it was panic. No, it was more than panic. It was almost desperation. She had to be there because he knew she was there before and if she wasn't there, he was lost.

Venom may have been blind to most social norms, but he wasn't an idiot. This wasn't just a friend of Edward's.

It was strange; as much as he could be easily guilted with the knowledge that he were perfectly willing to leave that girl to her fate (if she were stupid enough to wander off on her own, she deserved what happened to her), it was also coupled with the fact that he were just as easily guilted for caring at all.

He kept quiet as he followed behind the other. All that mattered was finding the girl and returning as soon as possible. They didn't have time to waste.
