[Nyx]

Nyx felt tired and sick. She just felt terrible and she didn't really know why. She wanted to puke out her guts but at the same time, she didn't get enough food so she didn't want to lose what she had. Plus, there was an insistant throbbing in her head from the darker and more insane side of herself. SHE wanted out to do what she wanted but Nyx didn't want to let her out. It wasn't safe for everyone else to have Lyess out.

She leaned against the wall for support. Nyx's long brown hair fell in front of her face, which hide her eyes away. Not that it was necessary when her eyes were closed the way they were. Sweat beaded on her brow before falling in a thin, elegant river down the side of her face. she dug into the wall with her finger nails, so hard that it made some of them start to bleed. But she didn't notice in her effort to keep out and awake. She was fighting back Lyess though, a couple more minutes and she would be fine.

Unfortunately, fate was not on her side today. "Hey hey... Lookie here..." A male voice said to her right. "A little girl all alone at night. Let's see what she has on her..." Nyx stiffened and opened her eyes to see if the situation really was what she thought it was. Yup, five guys surrounding her, probably going to rob her and kill her. She gave a bit of a sigh, she hated the criminals of gotham, they were idiots to try and rob someone who was obviously distressed. Fuck it, she was tired of holding back Lyess. Go ahead Lyess, have fun but come back in after.

It was from this that a grin came onto Nyx's face. Her movements came from being stiff to relaxed and her eyes glittering with madness. "Lyess wants to play!" She told them happily "She came out after so long and there are so many people willing to play with her. She is so happy!" She gave a very sadistic grin and one moment she was there, the next one of the men fell down, blood flowing from his throat. Lyess giggled and turned to the others with a tilt of her head.

"Let's play sculpture!" she told them "K, stay very still. Lyess will make you stop moving if you move." The people seemed a bit frozen in fear, all except for two, one of whom managed to run away and the other brought out his gun. His hand was shaking and he seemed frightened of her. She foudn that hilarious, they should be frightened of her. She wouldn't let them hurt her, she will hurt them first and have her fun.

She moved forward and with an elegant but very straight forward move, made him lose his hand. He screamed, looking as his blood poured out from the stump. She picked up the hand and put the pointer finger up then wagged it disapprovingly, her mouth in a mocking pout. "Ah ah ah..." She told him "Lyess told you not to move. Now your hand gone. at least you didn't lose your head!" She laughed as she realized she had made such a amusing joke. So much so that she leaned over and nearly fell but kept an eye on them. They were too frightened to move though because of how fast she was or simply how scary.

[Skade]

Skade smelled blood. It was fresh, and it was strong. She nearly went mad with hunger. She hadn't had real blood in quite a while, except for some scrawny alley dogs or rats. She hated rat meat. It was too scanty. But now she smelled human blood. And she was on the trail now, her half face set in a horrifying leer of mad anticipation and cruel delight.

She paused when she saw the carnage. She smiled, stepping slowly into the shadows, watching with a certain amount of condescending amusement. This girl was good...but she didn't know how to truly enjoy killing. Skade began to lick her half lip, her long purple-blotched tongue swiping the bared teeth on the lipless side of her mouth, feeling the sharp points rasp against her skin. She wanted some of that blood...and she wanted to rend some flesh.

Stepping out of the shadows, Skade came forward, the full deformity of her face shown in the dull light as she smiled, speaking in a voice that was more of a snarl, forcing its way out of malformed vocal cords, "Hope ye don't mind if I join in the fun, do ya?" Her heavy Southern accent seemed almost morbidly comedic, but the very sound of the drawl seemed to make her more savage.

She flexed her heavy muscles, the scarring showing like blue veins along her arms, her blind eye rolling madly in the torn socket, leaking yellow sticky tears that trickled down the horrible ridges and scarring of her face. She smiled again, her good eye narrowing to a red pinpoint, her strangely filed teeth bared in something that passed for a smile.

[Nyx]

Lyess was enjoying herself, the people weren't moving. If they were, she was able to cut more and more off. She took off another bit of the men with the gun's arm when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned quickly, almost completely seeming to lose interest in the playthings for the new person. Who Lyess could not fully see in the shadows. She tilted her head, the piece of arm against her face.

The person stepped out of the shadows and she gave a grin. She liked the looks of this person, her hair was stained a pretty red from the paint from many people. She walked over and grabbed a strand. "Pretty, oh so pretty." Lyess said appreciatingly "Beautiful paint, Nyxie won't let poor poor Lyess do what she wants. Even if it lost the pretty red color for brown." she stuck out her tongue in a very child-like gesture then let out a giggle.

When the woman let out the snarl quetsion, she gave a nod. "Lyess would love the company." She told him "Let's make them scream." She let go of the other person's hair to clap then turned on her feet. it was at that point that she saw one of them was trying to sneak away. She went over and cut off the man's ear. He screamed and she blew into the skin piece that was the outer ear. She then looked through it.

"Ah ah ah..." she told him "Lyess would think you couldn't listen with you leaving. Then again, now crook can't." She stabbed her knife into his ear and he screamed. She removed it slowly, twisting it around so she utterly destroyed his ear drum. But she left his brain intact. She knew what would kill and she didn't want to kill. Not yet when she was having so much fun. There was blood going down his face from his ear but he seemed more concerned with screaming. She opened his mouth and cut his tongue so he would stop. She didn't want to draw any more attention.

[Skade]

The cutting out of the man's tongue seemed to displease Skade. She went to the girl, apparently called Lyess, and snarled disapprovingly, "Don't cut out 'is tongue, stupid! Then 'e won't scream!"

She saw one that was moving slowly, coming round. She smiled, pouncing on him and retrieving something from her pocket. It was a strand of barb wire, long rusted and reddened with the blood of many victims. She shushed to him soothingly, her hideous face near his frightened eyes. "Hush, now...Skade will take good care of you if you just do as I say." Then, brutally, she grabbed the man by his hair, jerked his head up (a snap was heard) and wrapped the barbwire tightly around his face, setting it into his mouth and forcing him to bite down on the horrible gag, then she patted his cheeks hard, driving the barbs in deeply to the man's cheeks, not to mention her own hands, but she seemed to enjoy the pain.

Then she rose, ripping out something from her hair (along with a chunk of her hair) and tying them to her fingers. Wolf claws. Where she had gotten them, one could only guess. Probably from some wild beasts she had killed in her journeying. She secured them to her finger tips, looking about for another live one. But she contented herself with one of the dead ones. She bent over him, inserting one claw into the skin at his collar bone, and then giving a sudden savage tug, slashed his abdomen open from shoulder to pelvis, now putting both hands into the wound and pulling him open, eyes blazing at the sight and smell of the blood.

She then looked up at her host, smiling wildly, her mouth stained with blood as she pulled out the man's heart, licking it with relish.

"Thanks fer sharin'."

[Nyx]

Lyess looked like a scolded child and her lip trembled. "But he gargles." She told the blond haired fellow monster. "The others scream. Sides, Nyxie won't let Lyess draw attention." She played around with the tongue, using the cut end to paint a bloody trail on the person she had cut the tongue off of. He seemed to have issues breathing so she moved him so he was laying down in a way that would drain the blood. His throat was clear to make that muffled sound of crying. She even drew on his clothing with a child-like glee.

She watched Skade play with a smile, amused and interested. She laughed when the other girl made him bite down on the red wire. The pain as it bit into his cheeks and his screaming made her smile. She hummed and rocked in place before she began to cut into the man she had made mute. She rather roughly cut out one of his eyelids and then the other one. His eyes were fine but now stuck with blood going down them and perpetually open. She then proceeded to put out his nails, hearing his screams in her hears almost as though his tongue was still whole. The smell of pee rang in the air from one of the others at the sight of the two.

That distracted her from her prey and she left the man alone to bleed while she went to the one who had peed himself. "Ha." She said, pointing at him "You peeded... but that's gross... You should be punished." Lyess looked thoughtful before she got an idea. She cut off first his leg. It took a bit of work because her knife was small even if it was very sharp. Eventually, she managed to get to the bone an instead just cut off chunks of the leg. She had her tongue sticking out in concentration and the blood was getting all over her. She didn't mind though, she liked the paint. Her legs were crossed as she was working. She hummed to herself as she did so. He continued to scream and she seemed oblivious.

She gave a smile at the other girl and a wave. "No problem." Lyess told her "More fun, easier to get others to scream. Can see why nasty men played with others when they did this to Lyess." She frowned then just shrugged and continued. Eventually, the man died from shock and she pouted at the fact he had died on her. She picked up one of the pieces of meat she had taken from his leg. "Aww... but I didn't even finish yet... Why did he stop moving on Lyess?"

[Skade]

"They're weak...can't take a little pain." Skade had finished lapping up all the blood she could stomach (too much threatened to make her burst) and went back to the gagged man. He was whimpering pitifully, trying vainly to move. Skade smiled, digging a claw into his belly. He gave out a strangled scream that diminished into frenzied sobs as she bored a hole into his torso, grabbing onto a gut and pulling it out slowly. She rubbed it through her hands for a while, getting the blood on her hands before she acted.

"You just lie there, mister. Skadey will make it all better." She stood up, then took off at a strange lope, the gut still clenched in her fist. Agonized screams came from the man as his weight pulled against the girl's considerable strength and the gut began to unravel in him, tearing out large chunks of his insides as she continued to rip it from him. He soon passed out from the sheer agony. Skade laughed madly, gnawing on the piece of gut with fiendish glee.

[Nyx]

"Ahh..." Lyess seemed to pause for a moment before she noticed the last man standing. She grabbed him and moved him close to her. She didn't have a lot of strength but considering the fact that she had killed his companions in a ratehr brutal way, who would be able to move? Then, after that, it was all over and he couldn't move. Lyess cut his achilles tendons and they bled heavily. She then slit his wirsts and he turned so white that she giggled. She didn't think he had turned white because of lack of blood but it could be. There was a large puddle on the ground and blood spatter on her.

That last person ended up dying on her but it was more gentle then most of the deaths. She contented herself to drawing with the blood before she felt the insistant push by Nyxie and shook her head. "No no no... Nyxie doesn't want to come out." She told the other personality, not noticing or even caring that Skade could hear her. "There is another person and we are going to play, or talk, more." Then Lyess stiffened up as Nyx pulled her in to talk. At that point, their body became completely empty, like no one was driving. Which was exactly the truth of the matter, they were talking on the inside.

Finally, the body reanimated again. Instead of Lyess, it was Nyx though... She was still as emotionless and stiff as ever but the blood seemed to be bothering her, specially the large amount on her clothing. "We are going to have to steal more after this..." Nyx commented with a sigh before turning to Skade. "Hello Skade, I'm Nyx. I apologize for removing Lyess but she was only allowed to deal with these men before I was suppose to take over again..."
