“You can thank me by playing a little for me later,” Aegir could sense in her mind things, he knew right now she would learn what he had meant later on of course. Here and now she may have come to think that he only wanted to listn to her olay something today.

Of course that was not the case. He grinned a little, then looked into here mind.

Here in this room he could have taken her if he had been so inclined. She was isolated and there was only the janitor at the other side of the building to worry about … well he could sense the brain waves of another just now and they weren't hunab … a monster looking for prey or learning that some came her at a particular tim? He was unsure right now, evenmechanics get bored of that kind of stuff. He brought his attention back to her as he folded his hands beneath those am-le breasts as he got use to this moment that he was anticipating in a few mo,ents though for now he supposed he had to wait.

“Take one now, bring it back before classes begin in the morning.” He encouraged her to take the instrument before he moved to it. At one stage these instruments were such a bane too him though now he had found them quiet fond.

"Well I guess it would be okay for me to take one, as long as I bring it back in the morning." Ariya felt like a bit of a rebel as she picked up the guitar. Giving it a few test strums, frowning slightly she adjusted some of the strings strummed again and smiled. "Brilliant this will work perfectly." Turning towards the door she looked back at Ruby. "You coming?"

“Sure am ...” Aegir considered carefully as to his next move. Currently he had her more or less secluded but didn't think that it was so hard to do should he need it again. He followed her out of the room though, her strumming distracting his thought process a little as he shook of the musical effects that the action had over his mind.

He had overcome that particular weakness long ago and had overcome it for the most part so it was easier now to shrug off any distracting effects.

“I would like to hear you play though ...” the dorms were probably a poor choice people might hear her playing though getting the guitar in would be obvious too not that it mattered since it would be back before it was missed.

He considered though. “I know a spot not to far from here that you could play something if you were so inclined that is.”

"Play for you? Well. If you know somewhere I can play and not be overheard than sure, seem like a fair deal. Lead the way"> Ariya was not aware of the danger that Ruby posed and followed her to their next destination.

With Aegir there was always a danger, most of the time he was rather mild and easy to deal with … most of the time. She actually had some talent though and thus some bargaining power if it came to it though as they moved towards the door Aegir was still considering things. It was likely that he would lure her to some secluded spot in the forest, then either make a deal with her or introduce her into life on the island …

He did not prefer to intodoctrine people and rather liked it when they were use to this sort of thing for he often looked better by comparission. It did stroke his ego a bit being thought of in a favorable light … but he did like virgins too, he didn't have so many of them when he first got to the island but had his fair share in later years.

Pondering all this he sensed it. Brain waves that weren't human, something on the prowl and it was coming this way …

Setting a hand on her shoulder, Ruby turned her, pushing her back to the wall, a hand clasping over the other girl's mouth as a finger came up to her lips telling her to be quiet for the moment at least.

Ariya was taken by surprise when Ruby wrapped her hand over Ariya's mouth, her muffled cries of confusion and anger could be heard dimly though the girls hand. Looking at Ruby as she tugged at her hand she saw Ruby putting her finger to her lips. Instantly she was quiet listening out for what Ruby had heard. A Teacher or the Janitor perhaps, what if they were caught she would get in trouble for sure.

She had been surprised at first until dawning slammed into her. At first it was quiet though a moment or two later there came the sound of someone or rather something as Aegir knew opening up the doors to the rooms, checking them.

He supposed that this little interuption wasn't too bad …

I can smell you … you smell of the earth and forest … come out, come out where ever you are!

“We have to hide,” Ruby whispered drawing her hand away from her.

"what the hell is that?" Ariya whispered to Ruby her face full of fear. "Where do we go?!" Ruby grabbed hold of Ariya's hand leading the lay, the guitar she was still holding feeling extremely heavy now. "Oh god, what is that thing. Ruby?! What is it?" Ariya began to pant heavily becoming increasingly more scared as the seconds went by.

Ruby took her by the wrist heading back towards the storage room with the instrumentes. “I, I'm not sure ...” but her tone seemed to indicate that she did indeed know. She closed the door beyind them and move a set of drums near it though that wasn't going to be enough.

“I … I … God no … but that voice!

“Hopefully it just looks in the room, sees it empty then moves on. God we can only hope.” She sighed. She sent her gaze in Ariya's direction. “You wouldn't believe me if I told you ...”

Aegir let Ariya's paranoia build as the thing grew closer to the adjacent classroom that they were near.

Ariya was now getting quite worried, she composed herself as she tried to push her fear if this unknown thing away from her mind. "Couldn't we just run for it. If it's looking in the rooms than we just wait until it checks a room and run out of the school. Surely it can't catch up to us. I may be a musician but these legs aren't just for show!" Ariya was determined to not be scared but more importantly for her and Ruby to get out of this situation safely.

“We can,” Ruby professed, “though I'm not that quick … there's a T intersection at the end of the hall if we wait until he checks one of the rooms and we make a break for it we can split up there, if it follows me I'm almost bond to get caught. I'm pretty fast for a few seconds but lack the stamina and slow drastically after a few seconds like a cheetah casing down a gizelle ...”

Ruby seemed torn but the other option was just hiding and probably getting caught. She took a deep breath. “Ok, lets do this before I change my mind.”

Ariya touched Ruby on the shoulder "Don't worry, I'll hit them with this guitar if they chase us." Ariya smiled bravely as she inched the door open. "You best lead, I don't know my way around this school as well as you do. The last thing we want is us getting split up."

Ruby smiled weakly. This was going to be better than he thought actually … Aegir ticked over the scenario in his head, monitoring positions as he lifted a hand to the door.

“Ok, once I open this brake left down the hall, there's a T intersction at the end, right leads to an exit though it's probably locked and if we go that way we might get trapped, our best bet is to go left then circle back the long way, I know where there's a fire door we can get out of ...”

He opened the door and was swatted by the large four armed grayish creature that was standing there ready to open the door. The blow sent Ruby spiraling back and taking out a few desks in the process.

The thing had a cannine-like head full of snarling teeth and green eyes. Fresh meat! It said as it's eyes swung to regard her ...

"Ruby!" Ariya's courage quickly disappeared when she watched Ruby being swatted aside like a doll. Gripping the guitar that was still in her hand she decided to simply attack. There was no where for her to go in the room, even if she did this creature would surely catch her. Bringing the guitar above her head she ran at the beast swing it down over what she assumed was his head.

The creature instinctively brought up two of it's four arms crossing them in an “X” to take the guitar blow on it's forearms to protect it's head, two other arms snaking out in attempts to grasp her as a delicious grin spread across his features as if he had already won.
