Bump In The Night

[Hexus Manifesto]

It was very late at night and many stars could be seen while everything in the night sky looked beautiful. Everything in the old graveyard looked ugly. The trees were dead the tome stones were unreadable and a very heavy fog was down below so you could not really see where you were stepping at.

Hexus stud in the middle of the graveyard staring off into distance not making a move or sound. His arms were behind his back and some of his hair was covering the left side of his face. He never bothered to move it away from his face he just stud like he was in deep thought. His eyes glowing blue and the sound of owls could be heard.

Soon the shadows of the trees and tome stones started to move around the ground in the entire graveyard and a wicked smile appeared on Hexus's face.

[Reyshi Nylecoj]

Reyshi looked around the forest in the dead of night. Dressed in all black she appeared to be just a traveling shadow going seemingly no place. In reality she was lost, having gone to train in the forest and becoming so tired that she’d wandered farther and farther from the village at sunset. She had been stupid to push herself past her limit, and even more foolish to not rest once she had instead of continuing with her training. When she returned to the village she would have a nice cup of water and rest on her home’s hallway where no light would reach to aggravate her power.

If she returned home. Looking around in the dim lighting cast by the moon Reyshi could hardly make out anything, and a fog had enveloped her feet. Fog was such an idiotic thing, who had even come up with it? Damn nature. Reaching a place she didn’t recognize she took in the tombstones, which really just looked like regular rocks in the current lighting, and the dead trees. Why were they dead? The trees didn’t look any older than the ones surrounding them, so what had caused it? The disease that had killed all the adults? She shook her head (bringing with it a dizzy spell) and scanned the area once more with her purple-blue eyes.

This was such a pleasant place, and there seemed to be a building close by where she could rest for the night. Making a beeline for it she was startled by moving shadows and, not watching where she was going, tripped over a root of a dead tree she was passing. Preoccupied with what was making the shadows move—there couldn’t be someone else out here could there?—she didn’t make a sound as she fell flat on her face. The pain was instantaneous, the dirt and sticks that littered the ground scratching and superficially cutting into her face producing a high amount of pain at first but as she lifted her face off of the ground it lightened to an annoying throb. Careful to stay low to the ground so that she was at least half covered by the fog in case there was someone else near her that had caused the shadows to move—though she hoped that was just a delusional hallucination from her fatigue—she rubbed the dirt off of her face, but it stayed stained a light tan that like her clothes contrasted greatly with her alabaster skin.

OOC: I hope you don't mind, but I'm joining your thread Hexus.

[Hexus Manifesto]

When Reyshi hit her face on the ground the moving shadows started to move faster and the wind blew harder and soon you could hear screaming and howling followed by the sound of women yelling and men shouting, breaking plates, dogs barking and gun shots. As the wind blow the fog started to blow away and some weak breaches from the dead trees broke off and dropped to the graveyard floors.

Then the voices of the shadows started to get creeper. The sound monsters growling and demons laughing echoed through the area then a super loud T Rex roar blasted in the air scaring the owls causing them to fly away. Hexus's continued to stand in the middle of the graveyard still staring forward and not once blinking.

"It seems the monsters of the forest are doing a terrible job at getting ride of the village but what could i expect from low life creatures. I'll just have to get ride of the village myself." Hexus said in his head.

The shadows that were around Reyshi started to whisper to her telling her to do horrible things to herself as they moved through the ground. They said things like kill yourself. Do it do it do it do it you know you want to. Come join us its better on this side. Your ugly no one loves you kill yourself. Your worthless jump off a cliff. Please please slit your throat. They continued to bother her hoping she would become depressed and end her life. Were these really shadows or were they ghosts and would Reyshi give in to the creepy ghostly voices? While this was happening Hexus's never sensed Reyshi was there.

OOC:Its fine with me.

[Reyshi Nylecoj]

Reyshi’s head whipped around as the shadows around her began to move on their own and was sure that she was not hallucinating—and if she was her mind was doing a spectacular job of it. It took her a moment to become aware of the flurry of movement due to being preoccupied with cleaning her face but now she was increasingly aware of the black specters surrounding her, and the eerie din that seemed to emanate from them was as ubiquitous as the night sky. Frightened of the noises that reminded her of a day she did not want to relive she whimpered and pressed herself against the ground as her arms gave away, placing them instead so they covered her head as she shut her eyes tight.

The voices of demons, of them seeming to mock her insignificant presence, were a welcome change from the screaming that stabbed into her soul like a hot diamond through ice, but that didn’t make them any less alarming. As what seemed like a monstrous roar like she’d never had the misfortune of hearing before shattered the air around her the purple haired teen let out a frightened scream she could not contain. The owls hooting only worked to amplify the terrible scene she found herself in and she wished for a moment that she could flee just as they had.

Go away. She implored the voices around her. What business did these apparitions have with her? She had done nothing to them or their family members; she might as well have not existed—but they were right. If she was so insignificant then it would be just as well if she killed herself by slitting her throat like one of them had whispered so tentatively in her ear. Her left hand slithered down to the dagger at her hip and fingered the handle, wondering if the afterlife, if there was one, was as good as they were advertising.

Her eyes flew open as the dagger was freed of its prison with a swift movement and she saw that there was no one around her, only shadows. The discovery made her hesitate and wonder just what exactly these things were. Her resolve shaken she grew angry at herself and these unusual talking specters. Her previous fear was gone in a second, as if it had never occurred, and she held the handle of her dagger so hard that her knuckles were white and the pain in her palm replaced that of her face. Furious she screamed, “GO AWAY!”

[Hexus Manifesto]

The shadows continued to bother Reyshi saying that's right that's right do it do it as they saw her reach for her dagger. Hexus still stud in the middle graveyard while all this chaos was happening then he heard a girl scream and all the sounds stopped and the shadows started to move slower as Hexus turned his head and spotted Reyshi. "Ah. A child from the village." Hexus said and then smirked after that. Hexus eyes turned bright orange and his hair started to hover in the air and dark aura began to surround him. Then he slowly pointed at Reyshi. "You will meet your death here." after those bone chilling words Hexus took a deep breath and roared like a demon super loud and that's when the shadows quickly came off the ground and morphed into grim reaper type ghosts their eyes were flaming red and they could stretch out their mouths super wide when they moaned and screamed. They started to swarm around Reyshi like flies would do to a corpse. The forest surrounding the graveyard become wrapped looking.

The shadows screamed and laughed in creepy way at Reyshi looking at her with their scary looking faces. Flying above her and then swooping down at her. This was not a nightmare it was real and Hexus was planning to make Reyshi wish she had never come here.

Battle Music

OOC:BOSS FIGHT!!! lol sorry getting hyper picturing the fight that's about to happen.

[Reyshi Nylecoj]

Reyshi looked around quickly with an unusually fiery gaze that was uncharacteristic of the purple haired girl for she was usually seen with an apathetic, almost sad, face. She tried to forget the memory of the shadows that had persuaded her with great success to almost end her life, not wanting to dwell on the negative reality of the moment coupled with the knowledge that no one would notice her disappearance. Not even her bunkmate would notice because Reyshi did not bother sleeping there as her night terrors would surely plague her that night as they did every other night, and she would not subject someone else to her screams nor bear the questions of why she was screaming.

She caught sight of someone far away from her in the graveyard but couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination once more as the eyes shifted from a blue to a Halloween orange. What’s more, his hair seemed to be floating as if compelled by a passing zephyr, but she quickly discarded the possibility—or as quickly as a sluggish, fatigued, and furious mind can muster. As he pointed at her Reyshi’s eyes drooped for a second and his sentence took a while to reach her head, but once it did it did not please the girl. Die? The hell she’d die here!

Standing up quickly as he roared—much like that weird monster one from before—she ignored the aching pain in her legs as they protested at the fast movement and willed herself to stand. She would not die here, not by the hands of these…these…what were they? Sending a chill up and down her spine that made her jolt to attention she avoided their unnerving eyes and tried to block out their horrendous moans. One was quite easy—Reyshi was painfully shorter than these black specters—but she could not cover her ears in a fight.

Holding on tightly to her knife she tried to fight the swarm off, looking very ludicrous as what she was fighting felt and looked like shadows. Usually when she fought, or rather hunted, she kept her feet steady and was away of her surroundings, but having wandered for an uncounted number of hours toward this godforsaken place she was clumsy and disoriented at having to keep track of so many enemies in the dim lighting. She wished that what was happening was merely a new night terror of hers and that she would wake at any moment, but knew that the pain she felt as a shadow weapon tore into her left shoulder blade was as real as any other. Still she continued to try to fight them off with only her dagger, kicking them away from her and dodging them as best she could.

OCC: lol nice, and unfortunately my computer won’t play music so ;_; Plus it said the link’s address wasn’t valid anyway.

[Hexus Manifesto]

The shadows laughed at her while she fought them and some taunted her saying things like you cant get me in a creepy little girl voice. Things got even creeper when the forest around the graveyard vanished in darkness and images started appearing on each side of the graveyard. The images started playing like a movie showing Reyshi being gruesomely killed by the shadows and screaming in pain while the villagers looked at her with a wicked look on their faces.

While this was happening Hexus started to walk to Reyshi as she fought the shadows. Hexus smiled as he watched coming closer to the area she was in. When Hexus was about eight feet away from her the shadows and the images disappeared and everything went back to normal. Hexus stopped walking to Reyshi and stared at her. "My name is Hexus Manifesto....but the villagers call me the Boogieman of the Forest." Hexus said to Reyshi his eyes now back to blue and his hair no longer hovering in the air.

"Tell me......how are the people of the village doing? Are they having a hard time living? If they are i can always end their misery." Hexus said after he bent over and picked up a rock and held it in front of him then crushed it."Then i'll dig a hole here and dump their bodies in it or i can just leave their bodies out in the open and let some mutated creature eat them it doesn't matter to me as long as your all dead and gone."


OOC:I fixed the link but that sucks that your computer wont play music.

[Reyshi Nylecoj]

Panting Reyshi looked about herself as the shadows were a flurry of unpredictable movement that seemed never-ending, much like the forest around her had never ended as she wandered aimlessly. Attempting to run from her assailants she tripped and caught sight of the forest around her for a fleeting second before it spontaneously switched to a scene she did not relish: her death. What was this? This was unnatural! She could write off the shadows to some person’s powers but the forest should not be pitch black and playing these horrendous scenes. Catching sight of the villagers she lived with her face darkened at their expressions and she realized that of course they wouldn’t help her if she needed it.

A quick whooshing noise accompanied by a sharp pain on her cheek caused her to snap out of her momentary daze and Reyshi rolled away from the weapon. She ignored the pain in her shoulder as it protested to the action and was about to strike back at one of the ones with the annoying laughter, to slice its throat, when they disappeared as if they had never existed. Instantly she fell to her and attempted to catch her breath before the horrible scene could reanimate itself and finish its job. Blood poured from the wound in her shoulder, staining her black shirt as well as some of her hair and making it stick to her body, and she reached behind her to survey the damage, knowing that the slice on her cheek could wait.

Mentally cursing she had forgotten about the man she had spotted until he spoke again and her head snapped up at him, gloved hand tightening on the dagger. Her skin was flushed a light pink from her fight and she still could not catch her breath as her body threatened to give out on her. Her eyes searched the stranger and even from a distance she could tell that he was much, much taller than she was, but his eyes had returned back to a pleasant blue. Had she just imagined the change before? Listening to him she managed a small scoff as he introduced himself; she had always thought that the Boogieman had been a figment of the two hunters’ imagination that could not exist in real life. Yet here he was, in the flesh and speaking with her.

Pushing herself up on her right knee she turned her gaze toward him. She was apathetic once more but her voice held a hint of pain as she responded to him, “I hardly count as a member of that village.” She flinched as her shoulder throbbed and fell down once more as her knees buckled, the small golden disk jumping against her neck as she did so. “Kill them if you want.”

OCC: I read the lyrics. Nice. xD

[Hexus Manifesto]

Hexus then walked to her again and stopped when he was close to her. Hexus was surprised at she said even if his face never showed it. Did she really not care about the village? He really thought she would care and would fight for it.

Hexus guessed that the images he made about her made her really depressed and not care about anybody and if he was right then he did his job good. He saw how hurt she was and smirked and decided to let her live to tell the tail of her encounter with him hoping that it would put fear into the villagers letting them now that the Boogieman of the Forest was real and was waiting for them all.

"Really now? Im must say im shocked to hear those words from you. i thought you would be all like this." Hexus snapped his fingers making a shadow appear in front of him that looked exactly like Reyshi except had red eyes. Never. I would never let you hurt the villagers." The shadow Reyshi said and smiled cutely at Reyshi its eyes glowing as it did. Then sudden Hexus stabbed through the shadow Reyshi chest with his hand. When he did the shadow Reyshi let a painful scream and melted to the ground and vanished. "But i guess i was wrong." Hexus said putting arms behind his back.


Hexus had been waiting patiently for the day that he would meet a villager that would send a massage to the rest of the people that he did in fact exist and that day was now but then he thought about having a little fun with her first but if she got a little tough he would forget the idea of letting her go but he would play with her in a moment sense he had to rest his powers sense it took a lot of energy to do. Hexes watched her as she panted. "Anyway why do you say that you don't count in the village?" He said with a curious tone of voice.

OOC: Lol yeah. It fit the moment nicely.

[Reyshi Nylecoj]

Reyshi attempted to move away as he came near her, not wanting to have him next to her when it occurred to her that he might have been the one to control the shadows. Though her power stemmed from shadows as well his was far more dangerous than a person who could easily gather information because his could actually kill and torture a person. What’s more, he didn’t seem to have any remorse for hurting another, a trait she found in little people and one she did not like at all because it reminded her of her brother and his dark blue eyes.

Her legs, however, would not listen to her command and stayed how they were in protest of how she’d mistreated them. Cursing her own legs she watched as he was so close she could almost touch him, and had to crane her neck to keep her eyes on his face. Damn his tallness. Why did so many men in her village—and apparently outside it as well—have to be so darn tall? Wouldn’t the lack of food stunt their growth instead of make them shoot upwards into the sky? The smirk she caught as she looked up at him through blurry vision did not please her but she did not show the scowl she wanted to.

Flinching at not the pain in her chest but the dead imitation of her—and the scream it had let out—she tore her gaze away from him. Though it was just a shadow it sounded and looked just like her, only with the glowing blood red eyes and a naïve smile that she had not shared in years even in solitude. In her heart she did not want the village to die, at least not all the time, but she would never utter that wish aloud. No, the only thing that the shadow resembled was her appearance and nothing more. It was just an imitation she reminded herself.

Hearing the Boogieman’s voice once more she turned her head towards him again and her eyes looked at him without emotion. Reyshi did not like this man, he looked like he was toying with her and wouldn’t help her at all. She needed to return to the village or at least find some place to rest away from him because besides the fact that he had tried to kill her, he was a he. She took him in again, his blue eyes, stark white hair and cloak. His curious tone had surprised her greatly because of his previous unfriendly actions and she held in a scoff. People always wanted something didn’t they?

Deciding to answer him she said in an equally curious but no less sarcastic voice, “Why should you care?”

[Hexus Manifesto]

"I care cause i want to know." Hexus said simply then got on one knees and put his finger under her chin. "Now tell me young one. Why? Why did you say that? Do the villagers not like you? or.......did they banish you?" He said in a angry voice his turning orange for a moment then back to normal. Hexus could tell that the girl was hiding something and he was determined to find out what it was. "You dont have to worry i wont hurt you.......for the moment. I'll wait until you regain your strength. Then we could have some fun." Hexus said.

Then two shadows that looked like girl versions of Hexus came out the ground slowly. At first they were pitch black then they started looking like real people. One was a little girl wearing a black and red lolita dress with black stockings and old style black shoes that little girls would wear back in the old days. The other one was a sexy teenage girl wearing a black and red lolita dress and had a black choker with a red skull on the center of it on her neck. She also was wearing black eye liner and black lip stick and lastly wearing black and red striped stockings with short black boots. These shadows were advanced. They were totally different then the other mindless shadows Hexus made. Hexus had two more advanced shadows and each one had their own personality.

"We would like to hear as well." The teenage girl said while the little one nodded her head agreeing with the older one.

[Reyshi Nylecoj]

Reyshi rolled her eyes at the man. Knowledge was what he was seeking, was he? Though she could give it to him along with more information he might like to know she was going to refuse him blatantly, and stupidly she knew, simple because she didn’t like how he’d acted towards her at first. He could rot in hell wondering what she would’ve said for even if it cost her her life she wouldn’t utter a word, her passive way of protecting her home because without it where could she have gone? That was her only tie to the village, and one she never liked admitting.

As he touched her chin she instantly jerked her head away from his finger, but had become disoriented as her power overtook her for that moment. Reyshi had never liked touch, and how quickly he had gone to one knee in front of her had unnerved her. Was she really so fatigued that she could not react to how he moved? Preoccupied with the worrying thought she almost missed his questions as she locked eyes with him, something she always tried to avoid, and spotted his eyes switching colors once more. So last time was not a fluke, his eyes really weren’t a steady color and seemed to change with his emotions, particularly anger.

She spotted her blood on his finger that had come from her cheek wound but ignored it as she tore her gaze away from his, towards the shadows. Or what she thought were shadows. Watching in controlled amazement that only slightly leaked out onto her face she wondered what kind of power Hexus had as she tried not to glare at the incredibly real females standing in front of her. They were just shadows she reminded herself, don’t alarmed at how real they look.

Glancing from person to person she ran a hand through the bush she deemed to call hair she closed her eyes in pain for a second and tried to think up what to say. Yes he said he wouldn’t hurt her at the moment, but what would happen later? She was too weak to defend herself, of that she was well aware of, and he had already proven that he could kill her easily. Taking deep breathes as her breathing finally returned to normal she focused on the cool feel of her glove against her skin and the pain she felt in her shoulder before opening her now completely blue eyes and replying, “I’m lost and as insignificant as you are.”

[Hexus Manifesto]

After hearing what she said Hexus got up and the turned to the two girls. "You two can play with her. Don't kill her though." Hexus said then walked to a tome stone and leaned against it. The teenage girl smirked and walked to Reyshi and smiled wickedly. "Hey there names Agony. Alright then no more talking let mess up that pretty little face of yours." Agony said then swung her arm back then swung it forward attempting to punch Reyshi in the face. The little girl stud there and watched. Mean while back at the tome stone Hexus started to think about stuff while all this was happening. Now that he knew that Reyshi would not tell him anything he started to rethink about letting her live.

"It seems that this girl wont talk about the village. It i guess she just has to go to the afterlife then." Hexus said to Malice witch was the little girl who was now next to Hexus grabbing on to the bottom of his shirt."Do you want Agony to kill the girl?" Malice said to Hexus as she watched Agony with no emotion on her face.


"I dont know yet but lets see if this girl can put up a fight. Hexus said to Malice putting his hand on her head and stroking her hair as he too watched Agony.

[Reyshi Nylecoj]

Satisfied that she had aroused a reaction that wasn’t him strictly toying with her Reyshi didn’t mind as the fist collided with her face because even if she had attempted to dodge it her body would not have responded to the simple command, it was simply too drained of energy. She wondered what was the deal with the “Boogieman”, why he was living out in the dangerous forest by himself and decided that it must have had something to do with his fury at the word ‘banish’. But why wasn’t he hitting her himself? Surely his fists would hurt her far worse than this woman’s were.

Sitting up Reyshi spit out blood but did nothing to defend herself because frankly she couldn’t, and knew that sometimes people got joy out of hurting another. If the other didn’t play along what was the point then? There would be only a few reasons to get joy from torturing another when they didn’t fight back, one of them simply vent anger and another because they were sociopaths. Seeing as these people, no, shadows were living out here with Hexus she only partially ruled out that they were antisocial but was positive that they were out of their minds. Who would willingly live in the forest? If she was banished she’d simply sneak right back into the village.

She looked up into Agony’s eyes and said not a word, almost daring the girl to hit her again. Reyshi did not care about her so called ‘pretty little face’ for she had no one to impress, but knew that if she ever returned to the village she’d have a nice number of bruises as rewards for her stupidity. Still if push came to shove she’d have to try and defend her life, but first her body needed to respond instead of repeatedly giving out on her. Dagger still in her fog hidden hand she flexed her fingers and wiped the blood off of her face from both her wounds.

[Hexus Manifesto]

Agony continued to punch Reyshi start to laughing when reyshi's covered her fists. Soon she stopped for a moment to rest and lick Reyshi's blood from her fist. "Mmmmmmm your blood is so damn good. Dont stop giving me your blood." Agony said in a seductive tone of voice but when Reyshi looked at her with a daring look Agony's eyes turned orange and the sexy part of Agony was gone and replaced with her psycho said.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Oh you think your tough huh? YEAH IS THAT IT!" Agony shouted at Reyshi and swung her fist back and then forward toward Reyshi's face with all her might and would continue doing it if Reyshi did nothing to stop it.

Malice eyes grew wide at the sit of agony getting angry and putting all her power into her punch. Hexus just watched seeing if the punch would connect to Reyshi's face and if it did then Reyshi's face would become even bloodier. "Hmmm it seems that this girl would not be the one to live to tell the tail....all well i guess i'll just have to wait until another fool comes to the forest." Hexus thought in his head.
