Interesting Iscribble RP

Iratus: (Return to your normal selves. Regain your free will.) *he closes his eyes*

Sam: *he blinks a few times, as if waking up, then glances over at Sarah and sees her completely naked, with her arms covered in blood* o//////o;

Sarah: *stares back at Sam when she snaps out of her trance, frozen like a deer in headlights* O///////////////////O;;; *eventually unfreezes, and bolts into the bathroom*

Claire: *catches up to Iratus* What's going on? D:

Iratus: *without opening his eyes* (I fixed them.)

Sam: F-fixed - ?? Y-you manipulated us!! D8<

Sarah: *from the bathroom* W-W-What the HELL, Iratus?? We trusted you!! D8< *goes to scrub the blood off her arms*

Claire: You don't understand, Lucifer had manipulated him...!

Iratus: *he stays silent, looking at the ground sadly* ...

Sam: Th-that - m-manipulated?? That - HOW?? YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE READY FOR HIM!!

Claire: He was--! Lucifer bent the truth, sent him into a rage... He didn't mean any harm...

Sarah: *listens to the conversation outside, still trying to scrub her arms clean. She could believe what Claire was saying--Lucifer was good at bending the truth...*

Sam: *he snorts* Fine. Just... FINE. The damage is done, no use getting pissed off about it.

Iratus: ... (I really am sorry, Sam...)

Sam: I know.

Sarah: *doesn't say anything*

Claire: ... *nods* come on, Iratus... *tugs him away*

Iratus: ... *he leaves with his mother* (Oh - Todd and Key.)

meanwhile

Sam: *can't help but feel angry at Iratus, even if it WASN'T his fault, it still FELT like it was.)

Claire: Them too...? Okay. *heads towards their room*

meanwhile

Sarah: *is having issues getting all the blood off herself* ...Saaam...?

Sam: Yeah?

meanwhile

Iratus: *he opens the door and enters Todd and Key's room* (Wake up. Look at me.)

Todd: *does so, falling into a trance*

Sarah: ...I can't get this stuff off...

meanwhile

Key: *does the same, staring blankly*

Claire: *waits outside*

Sam: ... I'd offer to help, but I think that would be awkward for the both of us.

meanwhile

Iratus: (Regain your free will.) *he closes his eyes*

Todd: *becomes more focused, and shakes his head* Woah, wait - what happened? D:

Sarah: ... I don't think we have much of a choice... Are there any clothes out there? D;

meanwhile

Key: *blinks back into awareness* Ah... um... okay what's going on? D:

Sam: Uhhh... *looks around carefully* ... No.

meanwhile

Iratus: *he leaves*

Todd: Hey, wait! What happened? D:

Iratus: *closes the door behind him, not answering*

Sarah: *groans in frustration* ...Well, that means I'm stuck. In a bathroom. Without clothes. UUUUUGH. *turns the faucet back on, trying to scrub the rest of the red residue off* Why doesn't it come OFF??

meanwhile

Key: *looks at Todd* ....UM?

meanwhile

Claire: *follows Iratus* ...

Sam: I COULD go in there and help, but you'll have to not freak out. <:/

meanwhile

Todd: ... I... don't know. D:

meanwhile

Iratus: *walks with his mother to the teleporter* ... (should I help Father?)

Sarah: ... Only if YOU don't freak out...

meanwhile

Claire: ...What did you DO to him...?

Sam: I-I won't - I won't. >__>;

meanwhile

Iratus: (I put him to sleep forever.)

Sarah: ...Okay, come in... *faces away from the door, towards the sink. she tries to ignore the awkward circumstances and keeps trying to clean her arms*

meanwhile

Claire: ...He'll be FURIOUS when he wakes up, but... The RIGHT thing would be to wake him up...

up

Sam: S-Sarah! You're turning back to normal! D:

meanwhile

Iratus: *still sobbing* (snap out of your trance...) *he pulls his mother into a tight hug, shaking, sobbing*

Sarah: [It hurts... I'd rather just stay a fluffy whatever-the-frack, because this HURTS...!] *continues to whine and scream, her human voice mixed in with the beast's now--she seemed to be halfway through her transformation now, a few inches shorter than Sam, her fur beginning to withdraw back into her skin*

meanwhile

Claire: *comes out of her trance to find Iratus hugging her--then she remembers what he had said, how he had attacked her-- and she hugs her son around the neck, tightly, stroking his fur* Shh... shh... it's okay...

Sam: *continues hugging Sarah* I-it'll be over soon, okay? It's be over soon, so just hang on... D:>

meanwhile

Iratus: (I-I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Mother, I was wrong, wrong about EVERYTHING) *he continues to sob, hugging Claire, not wanting to ever let go*

Sarah: *It takes another few minutes, but Sarah finally returns to her normal form. She collapses against Sam, the pain leaving her entire body feeling numb, the blood from that day's battle still coating her arms*

meanwhile

Claire: *hugs him tightly* It's okay, it's alright... I'm here, we're okay now... shhh...

Sam: *hugs Sarah just as tightly as before, not minding the blood* It's okay now... it's over...

meanwhile

Iratus: *eventually calms down, sniffling* (I'm sorry... I'm sorry...)

Sarah: *her breathing is shaky, and she tries to stand on her own, but can't seem to be able to stay balanced* thank g-god... can't even move...

meanwhile

Claire: It's okay... it wasn't your fault. *strokes his fur, still hugging him* it's okay.

Sam: Do you want me to help you into the bed?

meanwhile

Iratus: (M-maybe we should go sleep. I-I don't know, I'm just... I feel tired.)

Sarah: *nods feebly* Please...

meanwhile

Claire: *nods* Then sleep it is. Come on-- *lets go of him, and touches his shoulder as she goes over to the bed*

Sam: *without a word, he picks her up and carries her to the bed, lying her down and gently pulling the blanket over her. Then he gets into the bed with her*

meanwhile

Iratus: *he climbs onto the bed and curls up, closing his eyes and soon falling asleep*

Sarah: *moves closer to him, snuggling into him*

meanwhile

Claire: *lays there next to her son, absently stroking his fur until she falls asleep*

Sam: *snuggles with Sarah until he eventually falls asleep*

THE NEXT MORNING

Sarah: *is still asleep next to Sam*

meanwhile

Claire: *wakes up before Iratus, and gets out of bed, getting ready*

Sam: *waking up* Mnn...

meanwhile

Iratus: *he snaps awake with a realization* (Th-the others! They're still - I need to help them!)

Sarah: *asleep*

meanwhile

Claire: Huh? D: Wait, what did you do??

Sam: *watches Sarah sleep* ...

meanwhile

Iratus: (I-I just... ) *he runs out of the room without answering his mother, all the way to Sam and Sarah's room, and knocks on the door*

Sam: ? *answers the door* Oh, Iratus... how may we help you?

Iratus: (Step aside for a moment, allow me to enter the room.)

Sam: *does*

Iratus: (Sarah, wake up.)

Claire: ?? *grabs her gun and runs out after him*

meanwhile

Sarah: *wakes up, sitting up in bed* Oh, hello Iratus...

Iratus: (B-both of you look at me.)

Sam: *does and falls into a trance*

Sarah: *does the same, and falls into a trance as well*

up

Iratus: *he ignores his mother* ... I do not know why I did this to you... I felt so very angry, is all...

Todd: We like this, Master. We like this feeling.

Iratus: ... Please do not call me "master"...

Sam: ... Yes, Iratus.

Key: We will do whatever you ask, Iratus.

Sarah: *sits there, watching Iratus, awaiting an order*

Iratus: ... (What is love to you?)

Sam: Love, Iratus?

Iratus: Yes, love.

Todd: It's a wonderful thing, really... though it's hard to describe. It's a warm feeling. A very warm feeling.

Key: It's something you feel with someone else... it can be family, or anyone else...

Sarah: *rests her snout on Sam's shoulder, nodding* [You know it when you feel it.]

Iratus: ... *he looks back at Claire* ... *he looks away and lies down on the floor*

Sam: Is something wrong, Master?

Iratus: ... (I don't know...)

Todd: ...

Iratus: (... No one loves me, do they?)

Sarah: [Claire loves you... she's your mother.]

Key: *nods*

Sam: Yes! Yes, she does!

Todd: *also nods*

Iratus: ... (no she doesn't... it was all a lie...)

Key: ...Why don't you ask her yourself?

Sarah: [Not a bad idea. she'll tell you how she really feels if you ask her to.]

Iratus: ... ... (Go to your rooms.)

Sam: Yes, Iratus.

Todd: Of course.

*they leave*

Sarah: *lumbers back to her room with Sam*

meanwhile

Claire: *...*

Sam: *once he enters the room, he doesn't know what to do, and simply stands there*

meanwhile

Iratus: ... (mother, come here.)

Sarah: *doesn't know either--when she suddenly gains a splitting headache. she growls, putting a hand to her head, wincing* mnrrrhhh...

meanwhile

Claire: *gets out of bed and goes to Iratus* ...

Sam: *he looks over at Sarah, noticing her pain, and becomes worried for her - what was happening?* Sarah? D8

meanwhile

Iratus: (Are you able to answer a question?)

Sarah: *the headache only gets stronger, and seems to SPREAD--until her entire body ached and she shook from the pain. she collapses to her knees, whining from the pain*

meanwhile

Claire: *nods* ...all you need to do is ask...

Sam: SARAH! D8> *doesn't know what to do*

meanwhile

Iratus: (Without my influence - ANY of my influence - would you truly love me?)

Sarah: *her whines turn to pained snarls, and her claws dig into the ground--she looks at Sam pleadingly, as if begging him to do something, to make the pain stop*

meanwhile

Claire: ...I would... you're my son... Lucifer's spawn or not... you're still my son...

Sam: I can't... I can't help you... D8> *he hugs her tightly*

meanwhile

Iratus: (What about what he said?? About you HATING and FEARING me when I was born??)

Sarah: [Make it stop... please make it stop, I can't...] *roars in agony. she seemed to be getting... smaller?* [PLEASE, GOD MAKE IT STOP!]

meanwhile

Claire: I DID fear you... because I thought you would be like your father... but once I was sure you weren't... I feared FOR you... for your safety... I knew your father would hate you...

Sam: *continues to hug her, helpless, useless, unable to do anything for Sarah*

meanwhile

Iratus: ... ... *he looks down at the floor* ... ... *his mother really DID love him... she LOVED him... tears trickled down his furry face, and he finally lets out heaving sobs, his pain renewing itself in his heart*

Sarah: *continues to cry and scream, both physically and mentally, as the pain was unbearable enough to make her simply want to die just to make it stop--but she was slowly transforming, returning to her human form; her horns were withdrawing into her head and her snout shortened, and she was gradually losing her height*

meanwhile

Claire: *only stands and stares, still stuck in her trance, completely unaware of anything Iratus does*

up

O. Todd: Well, you've been following that big monster around like a sheep for one thing, and for another, you've got this kinda blank look all the time, now, and finally, you... you just... with the KILLING...

Sam: *killing*

Iratus: (There's no reason for you to be worried)

Todd: Of course not...

Key: Absolutely no reason...

O. Key: Yes, the killing is worrying me. D;

Sarah:

O. Todd: But Sarah... you're no killer... D:>

Sam: *killing*

Iratus: (You want to join us. You want to serve me.)

Todd: We want to join you...

Sarah: [We must... or we die.]

O. Key: ...

Key: We will serve you...

O. Todd: D:> ...

Sam: *killing*

Iratus: (Now look away and snap out of this trance*

Todd: *he does as commanded, snapping out of the trance, but smiling happily, proud to now serve Iratus*

Sarah: [It's the truth. Maybe you should go fight as well.] *pulls away from her father*

O. Key: *looks at Todd, confused, not knowing what he had heard*

Key: *does the same* ...How may we serve you, Master?

O. Todd: ... *returns to Key* ... She's just... she's different... I still don't know what happened.

Iratus: (Go fight.)

Todd: Yes, Master. *runs off to kill*

O. Todd: *notices* D8 !!??

Key: *goes after Todd, and easily slaughters anything in sight*

O. Key: *sees this also* D:> ... *looks at Iratus* Okay, HE definitely has something to do with this...

Sarah: *goes back to killing*

Todd: *killing*

Sam: *killing*

Iratus: *watches*

O. Todd: Like... some kind of mind control?

Key: *slaughtering*

Sarah: *ripping*

O. Key: That must be it... I've never seen ANY of them like this...

O. Todd: ... How are we going to help them? D:>

Todd: *killing*

Sam: *shooting*

O. Key: ... I don't know... we can't fight that thing...

Key: *STABCLAW*

Sarah: *RAWR*

O. Todd: ... Then... then I don't know. I don't know what to do...

Iratus: *watches*

Todd: *SOMETHING DEADLY*

Sam: *I AGREE*

O. Key: *feels rather useless at this point--and she hated feeling useless*

Key: *VIOLENCE*

Sarah: *YES*

O. Todd: *he quickly hugs Key before slashing out a charging monster's throat in order to defend them*

Everyone: *is killing*

Iratus: ...

Someone: RETREAT!!

Everyone: *heads back to the stronghold*

IN THE STRONGHOLD

Iratus: *to his slaves* (Follow me.)

Sam and Todd: *follow*

Sarah and Key: *follow Iratus*

O. Key: ... *goes into the stronghold with Todd*

Iratus: *heads back over to his room, entering it*

Sam and Todd: *follow him in*

meanwhile

O. Todd: *quietly heads to his and Key's room with her*

Sarah and Key: *follow them*

Claire: *is still laying on the bed where Iratus left her, completely catatonic*

up

Iratus: *he wakes up, the first thing he sees being his blankly staring mother. He snorts at her then climbs off the bed, walking out of the room and over to Sarah and Sam's room. He enters* (Wake up.)

Sam: *immediately wakes up and sits up, smiling cheerily at Iratus* Good morning, Master. :)

Sarah: *does the same, stepping off the bed* [Good morning.] :D

Iratus: (Get ready for the day.)

Sam: *nods and quickly gets himself ready* :)

Iratus: (Now follow me.) *he walks out to the main hall, his two slaves in tow*

Sam: *follow*

Sarah: *follows*

Alarm: BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

People: *start coming out of their rooms and walk down the hall*

Todd: *notices Sarah and Sam's blankness*

O. Todd: *also notices. But only recognizes Sam* Hey! Are you guys alright? D:

Sam: We're just perfectly fine, Mister Huntings. *gives him a blank smile*

O. Todd: Who's that with you? D:/

Sam: Sarah.

O. Todd: SARAH?? D8 *runs over to the beast that was apparently his daughter* S-Sarah, how did you turn into this... this THING?? D8

Sarah: *touches her nose to her father's head*

Key: *also notices the blankness* ...

O.Key: *waits for Todd* ..

O. Todd: What are you talking - thinking - WHATEVER about?? This is TOTALLY something to worry about, you've turned into a MONSTER! D8>

Sam: ...

Todd: The hell's up with them? Was it Lucifer, you think?

Iratus: *snorts, hearing the commotion behind him. It was nothing to worry about*

Sarah: [It only made me stronger. Don't worry.]

Key: It must've been... *looks around* but... I don't SEE him...

O. Key: *wonders why Todd was yelling at a monster--she couldn't hear them clearly over the crowd*

O. Todd; D:> ... *he backs away from her, back over to O. Key* Something's wrong with Sarah - that thing is Sarah, and something's wrong with her, like, with her mind! D8>

Todd: ... What about that monster thing in front of Sarah?

Voice: TELEPORTER ACTIVATED, PLEASE STEP FORWARD.

Everyone: *does*

O.Key: Wah--well, we need to do something! D:>

Key: he LOOKS like Lucifer, but something's off... And he doesn't look as pissed as yesterday...

Sarah: *awaits orders*

O. Todd: What're we gonna do? Talk to her? D:>

Todd: ... So then... what happened?

Iratus: (Fight.)

Sam: *does so. With his new skills, he's easily able to kill many things*

O. Key: We can at LEAST try that... *looks at Iratus nervously* I don't like how that black monster keeps looking at them...

Key: ...i don't know... but have to check this out.

Sarah: *kills things, ripping them apart, not minding the blood anymore*

O. Todd: That thing - it can't hurt them, I mean, it's on the same team we're on, right? So... so then, yeah. Yes. Let's go talk to Sarah. *runs over to Sarah*

Sam: *shooting things mercilessly*

Iratus: *killing and eating things himself, but keeps an eye on Sam and Sarah*

Todd: Right - c'mon. *runs over to Iratus*

O. Key: ! *runs after Todd*

Sarah: *kills things, not even noticing them coming*

Key: w-wait! D: *runs after Todd*

O. Todd: SARAH! HEY! WE NEED TO TALK TO YOU!

Iratus: *notices the older couple bothering Sarah and growls - but then he sees the younger versions coming at him. He speaks to them without looking at them* (What do you want?)

Todd: We wanna know what's up, and what happened to Lucifer? And why you're not pissed?

Sarah: *rips an orc in two, then turns to face her parents* ?

O. Key: o______o;

Key: A-And we wanna know what's wrong with Sam and Sarah.

O. Todd: U-uh... well, you and Sam have been acting really weird. D:

Todd: Right - them too! D:

Iratus: *he sighs, then turns his head and stares at them*

Todd: *gets sent into a trance, smiling happily* Oh... those eyes... so pretty...

Sarah: *nudges her father with her snout* [What makes you think that?]

O. Key: *has no clue what's going on* D:

Key: *falls into a trance as well* Ooh... so pretty...

up

Sam: D8 ... *he runs out of Lucifer's room, to his mother's*

meanwhile

Iratus: *after a while, he starts to feel almost... guilty for what he was doing. Perhaps his mother didn't have to suffer THAT much...* (Do not suffer any more. Return to as you were before, and remain there. Forever.) *he closes his eyes, then turns away from his mother. He was still hurting, and therefore, still angry* ... >:(

Claire: *stands there, in the middle of the room, trapped in her trance, eyes staring blankly into space*

Sarah: *runs with Sam, skidding to a stop in front of the room* !!!

Sam: *he yanks the door open* D8

Iratus: *he turns his head in surprise, finding Sarah and Sam there. His rage grows. THEM. They KNEW, didn't they?? They knew and kept it from him! They probably didn't even really like him either - he was just there for them to PITY! Well, he didn't need their PITY - he stares at them*

Sam: IRATUS, NO - *he falls into a trance, smiling happily from the sight of those eyes. Those wonderful eyes. The greatest thing to look at in the world, them, and that mysterious void inside them*

Sarah: !! *is caught in his gaze, and falls into a trance as well, smiling as much as her animal snout would allow her to*

Claire: *stands there*

Iratus: (Follows my eyes, you two - follow my eyes.) *he backs into the room*

Sam: *follows him into the room, wanting to continue staring into his eyes, wanting to get CLOSER. He remains stuck blissfully smiling*

Sarah: *follows him in, almost tripping over Sam in her attempt to get as close to those eyes as possible*

Claire: *...*

Iratus: (You want to do whatever I ask. You want to become my servants.)

Sam: Oh yes... yes, Iratus, we do... serving you would be wonderful...

Sarah: *only nods, seeming enthusiastic*

Claire: *...*

Iratus: (Good. Let that command sink in, then close your eyes. Sarah, you may speak - I can understand you, since you're the same species as I am for some reason.)

Sam: *he closes his eyes, snapping out of the trance, but now believing that he was Iratus's loyal servant*

Sarah: *closes her eyes as well* [Yes, Master.]

Claire: *...*

Iratus: (Good. Do not look at my eyes unless I tell you to - understand?)

Sam: Of course, Master.

Iratus: (Now... now hug me. Hug me and tell me that you're my friends.)

Sam: *he opens his eyes and hugs Iratus* You are our best friend, Master. There is no other friend out there like you*

Sarah: *hugs them both* [You are the greatest friend we could ask for, Master.]

Claire: *...*

Iratus: ... *he knows it's fake, and he hates that fake feeling. He sighs* (Go to your room and sleep.)

Sam: Yes, Master. *he leaves the room to his and Sarah's room, getting into their bed and sleeping in it*

Sarah: *follows Sam out and gets into bed with him, falling asleep*

meanwhile

Claire: *is still standing in the middle of the room*

Iratus: *he turns to his mother* ... *he walks over to her and whispers in her ear* How are you feeling?

Claire: ...wonderful...

Iratus: (I bet you are. Go lie down in your bed.) *he climbs into the bed himself, curling up* ...

Claire: *silently climbs into bed, still wearing that blank expression*

Iratus: *he stares at his mother - a person who, in reality, HATED him - until he feels tears well up in his eyes. He blinks them away, but more come, and soon, all he can do is cry, cry, and cry until he falls asleep*

Claire: *only stares into space, stuck in her happy world--she doesn't even sleep. the next morning comes, and she still hasn't moved*

up

Sam: Yeah, really - I hope Iratus knows what he's doing...

Iratus: (I will take you on, Father. In your room. Alone. I know it's what you want.)

Lucifer: ... (Very well. There, I will tell you the truth.)

Iratus: *snarls* (What truth?)

Lucifer: (You'll see.)

Sarah: *watches* ...

Claire: *though she IS confident in Iratus' abilities, she still worries* ...

Sam: *shakes his head* Too dangerous. WAY too dangerous.

Someone: RETREAT!!

Iratus: (There, Father - let's head over to your room then. To discuss this "truth".)

Lucifer: *turns into his human self and walks to the teleporters, into the stronghold with Iratus, to his room*

IN THE STRONGHOLD

Claire: *watches them go to his room, a feeling of dread settling in the pit of her stomach. she goes to her room and locks herself in before she decides to change her mind and go after them*

Sarah: ... mrrrhhhh.... DX *really wants to make sure Iratus is okay*

Sam: I... I think he'll be fine, Sarah - I mean, he IS pretty damn strong...

meanwhile

Iratus: *enters the room with his father* (Well?)

Lucifer: SUCH an attitude. You don't even realize...

Iratus: (Realize WHAT?? Don't TOY with me!) *he snarls*

Lucifer: Oh-ho... such hatred in your eyes... but Iratus, you don't remember what happened the day you were born... I spared you from a life of loneliness and despair.

Sarah: mrrrr.... *nudges him forward* [Let's go to our room--i need to get this stuff off my hands...] D;

Sam: Right. *heads over to their room with Sarah*

meanwhile

Iratus: (What are you talking about?)

Lucifer: Your mother never loved you. Not TRULY, anyway.

Iratus: (YOU LIAR! SHE ALWAYS LOVED ME!) D8<

Lucifer: No, Iratus, no... *he suddenly puts his hands on the spawn's head*

Iratus: !!! *after much struggling, he falls into a trance*

Lucifer: Remember the orders I gave Imperia after you were born. Feel ENRAGED... *lets go*

Iratus: *he remembers... and becomes furious. Furious with EVERYTHING, wanting nothing but DESTRUCTION because of his realization - that nobody could love him. Nobody could love a spawn like him... he first blames Lucifer. Lucifer, who made him exist in the first place. Howling in animal-like RAGE, he shoves his head against Lucifer's*

Lucifer: !! *he falls into a trance, looking deeply into those eyes* ...

Iratus: (FALL ASLEEP. FALL ASLEEP FOREVER!)

Lucifer: *suddenly passes out on the floor*

Iratus: *smashes his way out the door, to his mother's room - she will pay as well! He yanks the door open, and storms inside, greeting his mother with a roar*

Sarah: *was about to go into the bathroom, but she stops and looks up when she hears a distant roar* D:> ...

meanwhile

Claire: !!? *she knew it, she knew something would go wrong--but WHAT?* I-Iratus... Calm down, what happened...? D:>

Sam: What? What is it? D:

meanwhile

Iratus: (What's wrong?? WHAT'S WRONG?? IT WAS ALL A LIE!! YOU NEVER LOVED ME - NEVER!! AND NOW YOU'LL PAY - YOU'LL PAY!!) *he grabs Claire, staring at her*

Sarah: ... *touches her nose to his forehead*

meanwhile

Claire: *keeps herself from looking at his face, trying to buy herself time to reason with him* Iratus, you need to listen to me...! I DO love you, no matter what Lucifer says! You don't have to do this! D:>

Sam: ... Maybe we SHOULD go find Iratus...

meanwhile

Iratus: (LUCIFER MADE YOU LOVE ME!! YOU HATED ME BEFORE!! YOU WERE AFRAID OF ME!!) *he forces her head to face his*

Sarah: [Okay.] *pulls away from Sam, and paws at the door, looking impatient--and worried*

meanwhile

Claire: *is forced to look into his eyes, and falls into the trance*

Sam: *opens the door and runs out with Sarah*

meanwhile

Iratus: (Hurt yourself - and ENJOY hurting yourself. Live the lie you made ME live...)

Sarah: *romps down the hall, hoping they weren't too late-- she's surprised when she sees the door to Lucifer's room broken down, and Lucifer lying unconscious on the floor* ??!

meanwhile

Claire: *nods, waiting for Iratus to release her so she can carry out the command*

Sam: Woah - wait - what happened?? D8

Lucifer: *...*

meanwhile

Iratus: *he is about to close his eyes... but then thinks of a better punishment* (Wait...) *he remembers - that's RIGHT - he was far more powerful now... so how will his most powerful form of control effect the victim? It was a fantastic time to find out. He then pulls Claire's head against his, widening his eyes as far as they can go, drool leaking through his teeth, staring, staring, STARING*

Sarah: *shakes her head--she has no idea. she tentatively approaches Lucifer and very lightly pokes him with one claw, quickly pulling away*

meanwhile

Claire: *her mind seems to just LEAVE--in her head, she isn't in that room anymore, she's somewhere else--some wonderful place, where the sun was silver rather than golden, and all was well. in the real world, she smiles, not making a sound*

Lucifer: *doesn't stir, for he can't*

Sam: ... Where do you think Iratus is now? D:

meanwhile

Iratus: *he hisses* (suffer...)

Sarah: *shrugs, then touches his forehead again* [I'm really not sure.. maybe he's--] *her eyes widen* [Claire. He would have gone back to Claire...]

meanwhile

Claire: *suddenly, everything seems to flip, and the world becomes dark, with nothing but those hateful silver eyes STARING at her, causing her pain, guilt, every horrible emotion all at once, and it was DREADFUL--on the outside, her face had twisted into a mask of agony, but she was unable to close her eyes, unable to look away from the source of her suffering*

up

The Next Morning

Iratus: *still asleep. He's as big as Harry in his beast form now*

meanwhile

Sam: *waking up* Mmff...

Claire: *wakes up, finding herself pushed to the edge of the bed by Iratus' growth* ...??

meanwhile

Sarah: *asleep, her snoring sounding like quiet purring*

Iratus: *Waking up* Mrf... *he drowsily opens his eyes, but makes sure not to look at Claire* (Good morning, Mother. It would appear that I am fully grown now... my horns are nice and long now, too.)

meanwhile

Sam: *wakes up and smiles at this. He snuggles into her*

Claire: That they are... *gets off the bed, slightly uncomfortable with the lack of room* ...You're ready to face your father...

meanwhile

Sarah: *her purring gets a little louder, and she smiles* rrruuuuu...

Iratus: ... Alone, I think. If anyone else were to try to help, they may fall victim to him...

meanwhile

Sam: *he smiles and combs his fingers through Sarah's fur*

Claire: .. *nods* I think you can do it.

meanwhile

Sarah: *purrs more loudly, obviously enjoying his touch* <33

Iratus: Thank you, Mother. I think so too. I will take Father on after the fight today.

meanwhile

Sam: Sarah... Sarah, wake up...

Claire: Alright... We should get ready, then. :/

meanwhile

Sarah: mruuuuuhh... [But I don't want to... I'm comfy here...] XC

Iratus: (Well, I am ready as I am - I shall wait for you, Mother. *he gets up and stands by the door*

meanwhile

Sam: But we have to get up, Sarah - we've gotta get ready for the fight. <:P

Claire: *goes to get ready*

meanwhile

Sarah: *pouts, ears flattening back against her head* [What if I ask nicely?] :C

Iratus: *waits*

meanwhile

Sam: Nope, nope. We gotta get ready. *gets out of bed and starts getting dressed*

Claire: *grabs her gun* Alright, let's go. *opens the door for Iratus*

meanwhile

Sarah: *snorts, and climbs off the bed, waiting for Sam*

Iratus: *nods and exits the room with his mother, walking down the hallway to the teleporter. Even from a long distance, he was able to entrance people with his eyes - he wondered, then, what would happen when he shoves his face against a victim's - his most powerful hypnotic attack. Would the victim's brain become permanently damaged? Would the victim forget to breathe? Become a zombie of sorts? The possibilities were frightening*

meanwhile

Sam: *finishes up and walks out with Sarah*

Alarm: BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Claire: *can see the effect of Iratus' eyes on the people around them, and keeps her gaze away from her demon son. She waits for the teleporters to activate*

Sarah: *arrives at the main hall with Sam* ...

Voice: TELEPORTER ACTIVATED, PLEASE STEP FORWARD.

Everyone: *does, and start killing*

Sarah: *fights, cringing at the fact that she now has blood all over her hands* D; ...

Claire: *also fights, looking around for Lucifer* ...

Everyone: *FIGHTS*

Lucifer: *he spots Iratus before Claire spots him. Enraged, he turns into his beast form and charges at them* SNAAARRRGH!!

Iratus: D8 ! *quickly moves out of the way, pulling his mother with him*

Lucifer: *stops in front of them and snarls again, this time at Iratus's face* (You will pay dearly for what you have done, SPAWN!)

Iratus: (We shall see, Father - I know you are scared of me) >:(

Lucifer: *his fur bristles* (I have nothing to fear from YOU... I could KILL YOU if it wasn't for the creators's RULES...)

Sam: Sarah, look - look, with Iratus, and yeah. D:

Claire: *stays behind Iratus--her son may not be afraid, but she still feared Lucifer* ...

Sarah: ?? *looks where Sam's looking* ! *touches her nose to his shoulder* [That can't be good...]

up

Sam: We should cuddle. Seriously, you're a big fluffy thing. Cuddling is necessary. :D

meanwhile

Iratus: ... *with some effort, he turns back into his normal furry self and stares at his mother* ...

Sarah: :3 *hugs him again, picking him up and carrying him over to the bed* X3

meanwhile

Claire: ... I don't want to lose someone else...

Sam: Ah! Aha, what. :D *now on the bed, he hugs Sarah around the neck again, pressing his cheek against her forehead*

meanwhile

Iratus: *moves himself closer to his mother, widening his eyes to create more hypnotic energy* ... You won't lose anyone else.

Sarah: Kruuuu... *puts an arm over Sam, hugging him close*[mmm, this is nice...] <3

meanwhile

Claire: *nods slowly* ...okay...

Sam: It is... *he pets her, scratching behind her ear* XP

meanwhile

Iratus: (You believe that I CAN take Father on - I just need to grow a little more.)

Sarah: *purrs happily, not even realizing she was doing it* <333

meanwhile

Claire: ...you'll be ready soon...

Sam: *pauses for a minute, laughing* You're purring. XD;

meanwhile

Iratus: ... *satisfied, he nods and closes his eyes*

Sarah: [...am NOT.]

meanwhile

Claire: *snaps out of her trance, and stares at her son* ...What did you do...?

Sam: Oh yeah? *starts scratching behind her ear again* You weren't purring? XP

meanwhile

Iratus: *keeping his eyes closed* (I didn't do anything, Mother.)

Sarah: *starts purring again* [...that's strangely involuntary...] *smiles* [but it feels nice, so I don't care.] <3

meanwhile

Claire: *stares at him for a moment, then sighs* We should go to bed...

Sam: Well, I'll make it feel even nicer. *scratches her behind both of her ears*

meanwhile

Iratus: (Alright, Mother.) *he climbs onto the bed, curling up and closing his eyes again, this time to try going to sleep*

Sarah: *purrs more loudly, kicking her leg involuntarily* [oooooh my gosh that's soooo nice...] <3333

meanwhile

Claire: ... *gets into bed and tries to sleep, finding it a little difficult*

Sam: Oh yeah? XP *he stops after a while and lies down on the bed* Mmff... kinda tired...

meanwhile

Iratus: *falls asleep*

Sarah: *nuzzles him* [Then let's sleep.] *wraps both her arms around him and putts him closer* <3

meanwhile

Claire: *eventually falls asleep*

Sam: *snuggles against Sarah as best as he can without suffocating in her fur*

Sarah: *purrs happily* [Goodnight, Sam...]

Sam: Goodnight, Sarah... *he soon falls asleep*

Sarah: *falls asleep, snoring lightly*

up

Sam: Thank you. ^^

Iratus: :)

Harry:

Someone: RETREAT!!

Sam: Okay you guys, hurry to the stronghold! D:

Iratus: D: ! *runs with his mother*

Sarah: <:( ... *heads to the stronghold*

IN THE STRONGHOLD

Claire: *as soon as they're inside, she runs with Iratus to her room, shoving aside anyone in their way*

Harry: *enters the stronghold, turning human* ...

Sam: *to Sarah* C'mon, let's head back to our room. D:

meanwhile

Iratus: *enters the room with his mother, closing it and locking it behind them* ... Do you think now would be a good time to try using my powers in this form?

Sarah: *nods, then waves a goodbye to Harry before heading to their room with Sam*

meanwhile

Claire: *puts her rifle down* Go right ahead. I'm all yours.

Harry: *waves back*

Sam: *walks with Sarah to their room, opening the door for her*

meanwhile

Iratus: Okay... here I go... *he concentrates, concentrates and thinks as much as he possibly can until he starts to develop a headache. Still he doesn't give up, and soon, the faintest glow starts to appear in his eyes* Feel anything, yet?

Sarah: *as she enters the room, she wonders once again if she could use her powers in this form. curious, she waves Sam over* mrruuh.

meanwhile

Claire: *stares into his eyes, and feels the tiniest bit of fuzziness develop in her mind* there's something there... keep trying...

Sam: ? *he walks over to Sarah* Something up? :/

meanwhile

Iratus: *he thinks harder, his headache increasing. His eyes glow brighter and brighter* How about now?

Sarah: *touches her nose to his forehead, and tries to command him* [...hug?]

meanwhile

Claire: *falls into the trance, sighing and smiling happily* perfect...

Sam: *nods slightly and suddenly hugs Sarah around the neck, smiling warmly*

meanwhile

Iratus: *rocks from side to side nervously* But will this be enough to stop Father? D:

Sarah: :D! *pleased with her discovery, she releases Sam from her control and hugs him back* krrrruuuu <3

meanwhile

Claire: Maybe... I'm not sure...

Sam: W-woah, wait, what happened? D:

meanwhile

Iratus: Hmm... *he thinks harder, and manages to make his eyes brighter. He needed to be as powerful as possible for his father*

Sarah: ^^ *lets go of him, then puts a giant paw on his head, pointing to her head, then his head, hoping he'd understand the message*

meanwhile

Claire: *still staring into his eyes, she becomes completely lost in them* ...beautiful...

Sam: You're... still able to use your powers like that? Even when I can't understand you?? .__.;

meanwhile

Iratus: ... This still isn't powerful enough... and I can't push myself any further in this form... damnit, the only way I can stop Father from hurting us is if I'm myself!

Sarah: *nods, then has another idea. she presses her nose against his forehead again, and instead of inserting a command, she tries to speak to him* [Can you hear me?] <:(

meanwhile

Claire: *completely entranced, she doesn't respond*

Sam: *speaks in barely a whisper* ... Yes...

meanwhile

Iratus: *he sighs, frustrated, then relaxes his mind, allowing the glow to fade*

Sarah: :D [ohmygoshthat'sincredibleee!!]

meanwhile

Claire: *comes back into awareness* ...well, we know it works... Iratus, I'm not comfortable with allowing you to challenge your father... You've seen what he can do...

Sam: Yeah, seriously - I thought I'm not supposed to understand you! :D

meanwhile

Iratus: You've SEEN what I can do to him in my normal form, Mother, and we CAN'T just keep hiding like this!

Sarah: [Me neither!!] :D [This just made my whole DAY.]

meanwhile

Claire: ...
