14 managed to catch sight of Alex, and he watched from a distance.

Nil looked around nervously. Mr.Puppet was going to be so angry at them for exposing him as a killer.

Alex stared at "It" for a while. What would he do now? He couldn't just leave "It" here, could he? Maybe the voices would continue speaking to him if he did? Alex looked around, there must be something dead around. He'd never leave "It" alone. And "It" wouldn't ever leave Alex.

14 watched silently, creeping a little closer. What was Alex doing? He thought.

Nil got to her feet and shakily went to stand outside the hospital for some fresh air. She couldn't help believing that this was all her fault. Darcy was now close to death because of her. She growled at herself, angry. If Mr.Puppet came back, she'd be waiting to make sure he got what he deserved.

{Recap?}

[Dradogo]

((Basically, Gwen had a rather strange chat with 14, who's now sneaked away from her to go and find Alex. Alex is considering getting rid of It, but is worried about it. Mono is still with Peregrine, and Nil's outside the hospital blaming herself for Darcy's injuries. And Puppet's flying around, plotting to kill Darcy and Nil.))

Mr.Puppet snarled but didn't follow. Instead he flew up and started to think of just how to kill Darcy and Nil.

Riya was still out, her body trying to recover from the low energy. Yet in her darkness something seemed to be forming.

{Lol, all's normal at the Freakshow.}

"Who's Shadow?" Peregrine asked confused. She shrugged again. "Can't you just ditch your brother... or clone, or whatever he is?" she asked.

Dr. Schneider was busy orchestrating the operations on Darcy, trying to keep her alive. After a time, her lung was once again re-inflated and fluids flowing back through her veins. No more bones had cracked, luckily, in Mr. Puppet's attack, but her chest and back were bound, the flesh beneath the bandages too tender to trust to heal on their own. Darcy's lip was stiched up from where Mr. Puppet had punched her face, and a large black eye was developing on her flesh side, but otherwise it became clear to Dr. Schneider that the girl would be fine, if only a little shaken. He had the anesthet sedate her, taking a deep breath as he watched the skeleton girl's body go slack. In one moment, he had gone from worrying about a cancer patient, to chasing after a man who beat mutated children. He shook his head, bewildered. The police had to be on their way by now; the doctor had one of the assitants check to make sure of their arrival, nearly forgetting Nil in all the hustle and bustle until he exited the operating room's doors to find that she was no longer there. He frowned, walking through the halls to look for her.

The nurse watched over Riya carefully, pressing a soaked towel to her forehead to keep her body temperature level. It was exhaustion, pure and simple, and there was simply no cure for it but sleep.

"Riya," Rolan breathed as he watched the nurse tend to her. He wasn't sure what was happening, but he wasn't about to leave her alone in here, especially in a state like that. He huddled up in his chair and folded his wings around himself as he watched the nurse do her work.

Mono pulled the tips of his hair absent-mindedly as he answered. "He's exactly as his names suggests. A shadow. MY shadow." He sighed. "My father's co-workers refused to give 14 his own shadow, so I have to share mine."

Nil sat down on the cold pavement, hugging her knees to her as she buried her face again.

The images became clearer, first as always the insane laughter of Puppet. Riya shifted uneasily in her sleep.
