'Control.. Control..' He thought over and over to himself every time Rachael talked. Like you could do anything to her in your state "That seems to bee all the details," He spoke coldly "It's not like I'm doing this to devour your soul, I'm not from one of her fan fictions," He bit his bottom lip and looked at the girl, 'Just say yes already,'

"You still haven't told me what the sacrafice is." I pointed out. "And you being impatient makes me less likely to say yes, not more. So don't get smart with me." This guy was starting to bug me. It wouldn't affect the long term - I had the most annoying real life friends you could imagine, if I held grudges when people pissed me off, I'd have no friends - but right at that moment, I was so annoyed with him, I felt like I should just say no. Of course, unless the sacrafice was the ridiculous catch I was trying to find, I probably wouldn't. IF he'd called it anything else - a deal, an agreement, a compromise - I probably would've sad yes straight away. But a contract? A contract brought to mind long sheets of paper with something evil written in the fine print, a buried second side to what sounds like a good deal. Contract also brought to mind the concept of contractors - which reminded me, if I ran into Kaitlyn or Silver out here I was so royally screwed - from Darker Than Black, that had been given powers, sure, but had to pay a price for using them, and were stripped of their concience and empathy. They'd probably gotten the short end of the stick, in my opinion. The last thing I wanted was to become like Havoc.

He let out a breath and lifted his hand next to his face. He opened the fist it had become and exposed the design that marked his hand. It was intricate, like a sunbursted circle, spiked on the outside and completely founded on the inside. Filling the inside was an outline of a lotus, I've which a spiderweb. Each line was red and delicate.
"This is the sign of my contract," he said to her "By shaking my hand this design will attach to yours, like a tattoo or a brand. It's Our connection. If at any point you want out of the contract before it fulfilled you remove the mark yourself. A little bit painful but that was the point of its design.. Any more questions?"

"How is it removed? Just like a tattoo, like, I burn it off or something?" That I could handle. I thought.

"Dont burn it," he put his hand back down to his side, "Scrape it off, let it bleed, repeat until gone," he said this so casually like he was discussing how to wash hair. "It's a simple process, a bit of pain, then it's over, that's why I put it on your hand. Some people do it on the eye for extra ability but.. Well if you wanna get rid of it you end up removing your eye,"

..."Alright. I don't see a problem with trhat." I said finally. "It's a deal." I took his hand.

His cold expression turned to a smirk. He could feel the power, of course she was his restraint but as long as they were a team that wouldn't be an issue. He grasped her hand and said "The name's Seamus," As he spoke his name that was when the mark spread to Rachael. He knew it would burn, like a red hot knife cutting in the contract. He held her hand tight, so she couldn't pull away, a half contract hurting her but killing him.

Seamus... well this wasn't Alaric at least. "Ow!" I tried to pull my hand away, grimancing in pain, but was locked in his iron grip. When the pain finally stopped, I looked up at him. "You could've warned me," I said. But it didn't particularly matter. He wasn't the most annoying person I'd ever become friends with. I needed his help. We were partners.

He let go of her hand and looked at his own. The mark had turned purple on him. As long as it stayed that color the contract would be in process, he would be part of her, his blood part of hers. He felt his hands warm until they were burning hot. He couldn't help but keep that smirk on his face. The restraints of a human body were now gone, he could disappear from sight, lurk in his hosts mind, where no one would be aware of his existence, almost no one that is.
You don't need to talk out loud anymore, just think what you need to tell me. It makes you seem a little less insane when others are around and only you can see me

"Yes!" I hugged Sparrow, nearly tackling her in my joy. Firstly, she looked a lot cuter in person. Secondly, I wasn't alone in this crazy dream. Thirdly, I was now accompanied by the very person who knew this land best.
"So, uh," I mumbled, "Have you seen anyone else around... like us?"

Alright. Thanks. You wouldn't happen to know where the others are, would you?
Arrianna smiled. "Come on then," she said, and started walking in the direction of the clearing Cheshire had told me to go. She knew her way around this place.

I took Sar's hand, glad to have some point, even if it was just going to get us trapped, and followed Arianna.

I can't sense my creator if that's what your asking.. I can however sense.. Another creation. He's a dangerous one but he has a connection with our creator that could help us. I don't trust him but.. We could use it to our advantage Seamus knew they'd find her that way, like hell if Skyler would leave Sar alone, that bond was strong.
"Would that be a risk you're willing to take?"

I held Rave's hand tightly and started to move forward to follow their guide. "Is it gonna take long? Or is it a shorter journey?" Skyler tensed, not liking socializing with this creation.

What's his name? I asked, wondering if I knew him. Kenny?
"It depends if we run into anyone dangerous," She said honestly. "if we're lucky and run into no one, it should take maybe an hour. If we're not... well, this could take all night."
