Ria heard Derek's voice but did not
acknowledge him instead focusing on the clutched page of the ancient text from
the journal laying by Julia's feet. Her fingers continued methodically tracing
the letters on the page over and over and sped up as she retraced each curve of
the letters bobbing from the page. A loud cackle rang in her head and a
faint picture of the earlier images filled her mind. Her rotting bloody
covered corpse, maggots crawling on her skin and parts of her body missing. It
was strange but the images were not her, but at the same time they were.
"Ria, are you alright?" She heard the question but could not shake the disturbing images from her mind. Her hand began shaking as her pace quickened and she began mumbling something in a strange dialect under her breath. Julia looked down and tilted her head to the side before
gently lifting the pages up and making sure Ria's hand stayed on it until she
knew what it was and thinking it would have more than just an adverse affect on
the woman if she moved them, and read out a couple of words to Derek to see if
he knew what language it was or their meaning. Then she looked at Ria and
blinked as the woman's gaze turned to her. That feeling was growing
stronger and she gulped.
Elsewhere...
"She's gone and he's
here." the woman murmured, looking at her partner in crime "I'll wait until he's
asleep and visit him. The time is nearing. When Julia returns, split
her off and take her for your purposes.. then return for your
Rachel."
Shamus nodded, liking the
plan. Liking it a whole hell of a lot.
