It's been one year. One long, horrid year. He lays awake, the late insomnia arresting his sleep. He can only think of Maria. She stole his heart, and died at his side. A screech fills the night, the only true positive outcome of insomnia. It keeps him alert. Slowly, getting up he dresses and walks into the night. Hoping his day may come to avenge her death. Burden by guilt he walks into a nearby alley and sees the struggle. A simple mugging he stops, frozen with fear, Maria's death flashes before his eyes. The fear is taken over by anger. He ferociously beats the attacker. His rage is like an aura and as the victim runs in fear the mugger says "The blood looks quite black in the moonlight doesn't it", the scum laughs at his own joke. Pulling out his veins Nikolai rips his victim to pieces "Blood ha you ain't seen nothin yet." Another scream, this one of satisfaction. He yells into the night, for his first good night sleep in a year will finally come.

codi is walking down the street and he realised he was lost he saw someone up ahead he approched them they were asleep on the side of the road next to bloody remains of what looked like human
"oh dear gods on olympas what went on here!"

Clea ran quickly clutching her ears and trying not to scream. What had that noise been that scared her so much? She finally stopped clutching her ears when the ringign stopped, and heard a yell. She stopped in mid-step and peered around a corner. Someone unfamilar to her was in front of a body of a person. She clutched her nose at the smell. At least she wasn't being mobbed by the people she ran into earlier. Blinking, she swallowed and stayed back, hoping this person wouldn't notice her, or at least leave her alone if he did see her.

codi's nose twitched a little he smelled maple leaves but this was a offputting smell next to the corpse. he spun around so fast his hat fell off exposing his horns he reached as fast as he could for his hat but it was too late she had seen his shameful mutation. but he did not have time to be embarrased "call for an ambulance quickly please!"

Clea jumped at the sudden voice and quickly covered her ears as if the voice was too loud for her to handle. She opened one eye and looked at the man, her head tilting to the side as she saw two chibified horns growing from the man's head. She suddenly grew concious of the vein colored cracks across her skin. Slowly, she slid back behind the wall and pulled her hood up. Carefully, she peeked out again. "Clea doesn't know if the ambulance will hear her." She wasn't too sure what an ambulance was. Looking at the person, she clutched her nose, "what's that smell?"
