Survival

[Deepcrush]

Buck quickly ground to a halt. His ripper leveled at the nearly unseen target. "THERE TWO OF THEM!" Buck roared, and then so did his weapon. A triple scatter burst, dead center mass of his target. "COME LITTLE MAN! THERE ARE TWO!"

With nothing else to look at in the room Mir carefully tugs the sheet on Solaria down to her thighs and sits back on the other bed to enjoy the view as she slept.

The man in the shadows gave a curse at being seen, and started forward, only to be hurled bodily back as Buck's shots caught him square in the chest. He slammed into the alley wall in a spray of blood, bouncing back off the brick to land in a boneless heap on the floor. The running figure at the end of the alleyway suddenly vanished. A second later, and Skive came running, the servitor clanking along after him.

The hours pass slowly as before, though perhaps not quite as boring or dull. When Solaria comes to, she gives a great yawn, and pushes herself up on her arms, curving her back in a big stretch that sends a series of pops down her spine.

"Ohhh Sugar, give a man impure thoughts why don't you." Mir says with a big grin on his face as Solaria bends her back.

Buck roared seeing his target ripped apart by the shot of his weapon. "Other go that way..." Buck pointed in the escaping man's direction. Looking at the flying skulls Buck shouted "...and you go find him!" Buck turned and started running, looking to Skive as he did so. "We find him for you!"

"Like you need the help in that regard," Solaria smirked, pushing herself up into a kneeling position on the bed.

Skive didn't ask questions. A brief burst of electric buzzing and clicking sent the servo-skull whizzing along down the alley, the servitor bringing up the rear behind Buck.

The alley spilled them out onto another street. The skull paused, spinning in mid-air as it searched. It began to spiral, seeking outward in greater and greater circles, but the street was empty, with no one around or any sign that any of the nearby doors had been forced.

Mir was off his bed and beside Solaria in a flash, his hand in the middle of her low back. "Wanna go for round two before I nod off? You're already half way there sweetheart."

Solaria laughed. "What do you run on batteries or something? How long has it been since you got any rest?"

"I guess you really are a virgin baby, don't you know a starving man would detour from an all you can eat buffet for a fine piece of tail like you?"

Buck spun in circles, looking and looking and looking. Nothing! He turned to walk back to Skive, a pout look across his face. "I lose him."

"Then he'd be a fool. I'm not going anywhere, and you'll be a lot better for the both of us well rested."

"Do not be discouraged," Skive said, holding out his hand for the servo-skull to download it's findings. "Recall, we were dealing with a witch, what you percieved might not have been reality." He approached the body, and turned it over with his foot. The illuminator skull lit up, and the light revealed clearly the man from within the bookstore.

"Killjoy," Mir said with a yawn. "Longlas is over there," he said gesturing towards the corner. "Don't let me sleep too long, four or five hours tops." With that he relaxed back on the bed and tried to get some sleep.

"It's for your own good," Solaria told him. She waited for Mir to get ready, and bent down to give him a kiss on the forehead. As he let himself relax a bit, the full impact of the day's events came crashing down on Mir, and he passed into deep sleep.

Mir thought he must be dreaming, he wasn't sure how else he could explain there being two Solarias in bed with him. Neither one was wearing anything, and where smiling at him. It seemed to be a promising start for a dream, though something nagged at him in the back of his mind. His thoughts felt foggy, slow, and it was hard to focus. They were smiling at him, yet it was not the same look for both. One was a smile of warmth, of fondness. The other was something sinister, cold. That face was twisted, twisting, horns sprouting, finger nails extending to claws...

Mir's mind snapped awake in sudden alarm as his dreaming thoughts finally roused from sluggishness...but he did not actually wake up. The daemoness continued to smile her sinister smile, teeth sharp and dagger-like.

"Fuck!" Mir yelled, trying to spin around in the bed and kick the demoness in the face while pushing the nondemon one off the bed.
