a possible MISadventure

[Angelus]

Angelus followed Cecil through the cave. The close quarters of the cave made everything echo and all Angelus could hear was his and Cecil's footsteps. He hoped that no monster would surprise them around the corner up ahead.

((sry guys...im leaving this board))

Cecil stopped the fast paced jog he was doing, and popped a cough drop into his mouth, hoping that it would just be that bothering him for today. Deep breaths drew out from Cecil after running and in his condition.
"Now let's see," Cecil said in a low, flat voice; scanning the perimeter for any lurking enemies that could happen to show up.
"Well, I don't see anyone here for now; I suppose it is safe to continue once Vincent gets here." he thought, giving a pivot turn to the direction which he came from.

[vi]

The other followed at a much slower pace, mostly because he couldn't see three feet in front of him. Eventually catching up with Cecil, the silver haired boy moved the torch away from him in an effort to see farther out, casting a slight light.

"Find anything intresting?"

[Arual]

"No, we can-" Cecil started coughing quite badly, "we can continue." The boy turned away, covering his mouth with his hands, and coughed more.
He looked like a ghost! Cecil's skin was just about pure white, although everything else looked alright from the outside other then that. Cecil popped in another cough drop and continued to go on.
"I'm fine Vincent."

[vi]

The beserker raised one silver eyebrow, catching a glimpse of the other boy in the torchlight. "You sure?" He asked, because it WAS pretty cold here, and he really didn't want to have to carry his roommate down the mountian.

He sighed slightly, then continued down into the depths of the cave after Cecil.

[Arual]

"Sure." Cecil replied confidently to his friend, " Just keep following my eyes when I look back alright?"
Cecil halted immeadiatly, something was there that he did not see before.
It was large, odd, and unfarmilar to him in everyway it could have been. Not to mention that Cecil was in no shape to fight the creature if to be attacked, but he would stand his ground if it came to that.
The boy ahead put his hand back in a halt position, so they would not been seen; for now at least.

[vi]

((I have returned! Sorry about being gone for so long. I didn't forget about ya, I PROMISE!))

Vincent bumped into his roommate's hand, stopping immetially and looking around, though he couldn't see anything. Just a natural reaction. The silver haired teen held the torch up a bit higher, the light casting eerie shadows around and onto some of the monster.

"Oh dear..." THAT was quite the understatement of the year...

[Arual]

Cecil turned around quickly, swiping his hand over the torch that was now blown out entirely. All that could be seen were the boy's red eyes, and even they were toned down to no signs of existence. Although he could not bee seen at the time, he had his head turned still to his friend Vincent. He slowly lowered his hand, trying not to make even the slightest sound imaginable.
The 'thing' turned their direction, but it seemed as though that as long as the lights were out, it could not see them.
"If we move, it's going to give us away. If we do not, we're bound to be spotted eventually. Turning back is not an option at this point." Cecil thought. The pressure was pretty great, but if it's one thing Kari had taught him, it was self control. And obviously at sometimes, he had forgot; but there was no time for self doubting memories or even an if statement.
"If either of us are going to get out- alright, I have to distract him. If Vincent doesn't have the torch, he's almost as blind as I used to be. (and it was pretty bad)If he does, we'll be spotted for sure." Cecil almost second guessed himself, but he could let his friend be safe. He knew he was not in the best of health to begin with, so why risk getting your only assurance to find help if they need it?
The ghastly smelling thing was like a million year old bog was in front of them. His nose was like a pug snout; short and small.
It was no troll, but it seemed to have some of the same qualities to it. The large footsteps shook the whole tunnel of the walls, which made dust swarm all over them from above.
Cecil grabbed hold of Vincent's sleeve; it pulled forward until the turn for another passageway was opened up in front.
A cling of steel against the sheath was apparent now.
"Go to the end of the road for this tunnel, I'll meet you there!" Cecil yelled as the monster went in for an attack, but Cecil moved to the side, stabbing it with his dagger. Little did anyone other then Cecil himself, Vincent, his family, and some other classmates he had knew that his dagger was deadly by touch.

[vi]

Well, going into a cave nearly blind could go on Vincent's list of things that weren't so smart to do. The white haired teen took off reluctantly when his roommate pointed him in the right direction, but he went anyway. Knowing that he would have been more of a hindrance than anything else at that moment.

He stopped about a quarter of the way down the route, looking back for Cecil, even though he knew it was usuless...

[Arual]

The blade seemed to have never lost it's sharp edges or sides. Cecil made his last move, drawing up more poison then probably needed ( however, it never runs out so it doesn't really matter) and gave one last slice. The beast fell, dead and cold.
Cecil made his eyes glow again, as he ran up to Vincent and stopped.
"That did not take so long, did it?" he joked.
As he turned sideways, Cecil made a few good coughs, then popped in another cough drop.
"Seems as though my winter health problems just won't stop bothering me. Nows the time to debate whether I should tell Vincent that we should go on or go out," he reminded himself of their little deal earlier.Cecil was still for a moment, pondering what he should say. It was true, his health as declining, but it was also true it was not bad as it could be. He was going to press on; bad health or not.
His skin was more pale then when they got intothe cave. It wasn't looking so good, but willpower was still as strong as his dagger so to speak.

[vi]

The other boy smiled slightly, shaking his head.

"No it didn't." He said quietly, looking in Cecil's direction and listening to his cough. The berserker didn't say anything about his health, though he did feel he need to remind him...
"Remember, getting back is half the trip..."

[Arual]

He was right. Maybe it was the right thing to do, but the need to go on was still there. Getting back would be 10 times as hard if they continued on in the tunnels.
"Yeah," he gave up and replied, "Lets- go back."
He tunred around and started walking again.

[vi]

The other boy smiled faintly and followed after his roommate, slightly glad that they where leaving these caves. He really didn't like being without his sight, it tended to make people feel vunable. Vincent moved a bit faster this time, having already been down this way once.

[Arual]

"My- immune syst-em, is getting worse at a more rapid pace. I've been away from winter so long, it's-really hard to-" Cecil said, feeling woozy, but continued to walk. He gripped onto the wall for support as he said those words.
Cecil popped another drop in his mouth from his pocket as he decided to sit down, saving his energy.
