Sarah whimpered. "I can't... I can't do it..."

"B-b-but... but I..." Sarah whimpered more. "Do I have to?"

"......." Sarah sighed ".....Okay. Okay. I'm sorry..." She got up and went over to Micky.

Micky tensed and bit her lip. "O-okay." She said nervously and got up.

Ravos found a bottle of vinegar, shoving it in his pack. "Yeah, I found some. I'll give it to you later, when you're ready to go back into your body." After taking everything he wanted from the house, he leaned back against the counter and waited. When Taron came out and gave them the OK, they'd rush in and disembowel the humans.
Taron slipped into the dreams of the woman, giving himself a moment to get used to his surroundings. He was in a forest of some sort, the sun was setting most romantically on the horizon. The woman was with what he presumed was her husband, snuggled up against each other in front of a fire. There were on top of a mountain, overlooking a glorious view of white-capped stony hills created by nature. Taron took in the sight in a few seconds, quickly devising a plan as to how to corrupt the dream.
Taron began to darken the skies. The sun fled from view quickly, the sky became an unnatural shade of black. No stars twinkled in the sky, no moon graced the sky with its presence. Shadows began to dance around the light of the fire, creating various ghastly shapes and images. The woman clutched her husband fearfully, glancing around like a frightened chipmunk. Taron smirked as suddenly she screamed. Where her husband had once been was now a skeleton, meat still hanging onto its bones. Its eyeless sockets and leering grin stared at her. She shoved it away, getting up. Tears began to rain down from her eyes.
Taron transformed into one of his favorite disguises. He became, effectively, the Western interpretation of the Grim Reaper. A coat blacker than the blackest night clothed his ghastly form. A simple scythe was held in his skeletal hand, with a menacingly curved steel blade at the end. He stepped into view.
"It is time, Mary Henshaw," he said in a voice that could be compared to the cracking of bones. A smell of rotting flesh suddenly came into being, adding to the menace of his presence. She barely even noticed his top hat.
Mary's eyes bugged out as she scream, falling back onto the fire. The flames began to lick up around her body, burning her flesh. She screamed in agony as Taron stepped forward, staring at her solemnly from his hooded face. He lifted his hood, revealing a face that was identical to her own, but rotting. The face was twisted into a maniacal grin, one eye was missing. Maggots squirmed in the sockets of the other, festering in the dead flesh. Taron raised the blade of his scythe, bringing it downward until it was embedded in the heart of his victim.
He was snapped back to the world of consciousness, making it just in time to disappear with a cackle as the woman got up with a start. She was completely out of breath, taking several deep, sucking pulls as she tried to steady her shaking form. She looked at her husband, breathing a sigh of relief. She laid her head on her pillow once more, determined to get back to sleep.
Taron tapped her forehead, sending her into unconsciousness. He then began to work on the man. The man was shirtless, which was perfect for Taron. He sank his teeth into the nipples of the man, taking out of the blood within him. It tasted very sweet to Taron, much like chocolate would be to a human. One who fancied sweets, anyway. After he had had his fill, he began to work on pressuring the man awake. He slowly became heavier and heavier, grinning as he saw the discomfort begin to show on the man's face. Time passed, when suddenly he woke up, eyes wild. Taron jumped off his another hellish cackle, disappearing from view again. He then sent the man back to sleep, heading out of the room.
"I'm done," he said with a joyous smile.

Sarah sighed. ".... I'm sorry... You sure this is okay?"
Vera looked up. "Hm? Okay, good. So..."

"Our turn. Come on, Vera," said Ravos with a toothy grin. He walked down the hallway nonchalantly, opening the door and waltzing right in as if he owned the place. He grabbed both of the humans by the neck, squeezing so hard they were choked to death almost immediately. He grabbed one of them, not really caring which, and sank his teeth into the neck, tearing it open and drinking the delicious liquid within.

Vera shrugged. "Okay then. Actually not really hungry anymore, but..." She grabbed the other one and ripped them open, ripping out the heart and eating it.
Sarah started drinking, whimpering slightly.

"I like to stock up," said Ravos, taking out another bottle and filling it with the blood spurting from the neck wound.

Sarah drank a little more, then stopped and hugged her tight. "Are you okay?"
"....I can see that." Vera shrugged and just ate the rest of the heart.

The trio repeated this process a few more times during the night. Ravos ended up getting tons of supplies, so many that they were nearly bursting out of his pack. They were headed through the woods now on their way back. The woods were unusually quiet once again, which unnerved Taron.
Suddenly, a wild crashing sound was heard in the distance. Ravos and Taron both squinted, trying to see what it was.
"Well... crap," said Ravos as he saw what he recognized as that shadowy creature from before. It looked like a woolly mammoth, crashing through the forest with total abandon. One leering yellow eye with a single slit was positioned in the center of its head. Ravos remembered the Elder saying that underneath all that shadow was the core, which had the real power. Maybe that eye was the core? Or at least a gateway to it? Only one way to find out...
Ravos tossed his pack aside with a sigh. "Let's get this over with."

".... Great." Vera went out of her body and threw it aside, watching the shadow creature. ".....I have absolutely no idea how I'm supposed to help fight this thing."
Sarah sniffled and hugged tight back. "I hate this... I really do...."

"I think you can tear the shadow part to get to the core. You should be able to do that with your teeth. If you really want to. Doesn't matter," Ravos said with a shrug, jumping into the branches of a tree. The creature lumbered closer, eye flicking this way and that. Taron became invisible, waiting for a moment to leap into action.
As the creature came near, Ravos leaped for its head with a hiss. It tossed its head, slamming its tusks into Ravos and sending him sprawling onto the foliage below. He got up with a curse, readying himself for the next attack.
The creature then suddenly reassembled itself, becoming more agile and catlike. Soon, a shadowy replica of a gruesome tiger stood before them. The single eye still stared from the forehead, looking quite agitated.

"Um... ew. I'm not biting that thing. Gross." Vera said, staring at it and floating a little higher, out of reach.
Sarah just hugged tighter back. "I want to go back now...."

"Wait, what? 'Gross?' This coming from the flying head with its organs dangling below it?" Ravos said skeptically as he steadied himself.
The shadowy tiger lunged with its feline grace, claws extended. Its jaws were open, revealing a ghastly mass of teeth. Suddenly, it was hit by a large wolf-like creature mid-bound, sending it crashing into the forest floor. Taron gave a throaty laugh as he leaped at the creature, tearing at its face. His claws scratched the eye, which caused it to give off a terrible shriek. It jumped back, its shadowy body maimed.
Slowly, before their eyes, the shadows shifted until the wound Taron had left was gone. Except the eye, which still had a slash on it.

"Yeah... yeah, we will." Sarah sighed. "It's just... this place scares me..."
Vera blinked, still staring at the shadow thing. "...Yes? What does that have to do with anything? That thing probably tastes disgusting, I'm not biting it."

"My bad, I guess I didn't expect you to be that picky about taste," Ravos said, voice dripping with sarcasm.
Suddenly, the shadows began to shift again, taking on the form of a behemoth snake. Taron disappeared from view again, lying in wait for another opportunity. It lunged forward in a snapping motion, aiming for Ravos. Ravos lunged for it as well, just barely missing the maw of the beast. He slashed its eye again, causing it to give off a terrible screech that brought Taron to his knees. It rushed off into the night now, disappearing into the distance.

Sarah just sighed and hugged tight back.
Vera just rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Well, there it goes."
