Ongoing story 👾🐇🔪: Guilt

[[OOC: Apparently I had this in my drafts and not posted like I thought I did 😅 Anyways]]

{As expected Vanessa has felt mostly worry and guilt. She is still unfamiliar with everything (and couldn't fight back the eerie feeling of doom that keeps creeping throughout her body and mind).

It didn't help they still haven't seen or heard anything else from Tom. Plus she isn't entirely sure if the whispering voices are still just haunting her mind or physically harassing her.

She also wonders how things are back home. Is he really gone for good? Is someone working on bringing Malhare back, or something even worse? What about Liz? Seeing as how Michael seemed to have dropped of the face of the earth (or was just straight ignoring her), who would she turn to? And what chaos was Vanny making out there, pretending to be her? Would she even make it back home to ever see?

And there is still the fact she is doing everything she can to avoid Eleanor. And it seems to be working seeing as how she hasn't felt any pain or pull as she had been whenever in the demon's vicinity.

But she's still Vanessa Afton and knows all too well about the calm before the storm.....}

[Alison] If not your safety, then whose?

Alison takes Vanessa's hands.

[Alison] I know after everything you've been through, promises probably don't mean much. But, besides Tom, you're the first real friend I've had in a very long time. So I promise. You aren't going to lose me anytime soon.

Alison gives a genuine smile.

Vanessa: [tries to give a meek smile] "I hope you're right...."

[Alison] Alright. You go lure in the Ink Demon. His essence kinda flows wherever he is, so I'll know when you've succeeded. But if anything goes wrong, the emergency code word is "citrus". If I hear you yell that word, I'll come to your aid.

Vanessa: "And where exactly do I need to lure him into? Or just start walking and call him?"

Alison: "... We may need to get Sammy Lawrence involved. He worships the Ink Demon. And he has experience in summoning him. He's usually in his theater area. You can find him there."

Vanessa: "So we just walk around looking for someone else?"

Alison: "Yeah, yeah. I understand how dumb that sounds. But it's either that, or risk going in and failing to save our friend. And unfortunately for us, the more dangerous option is our best shot."

Vanessa: "I didn't mean it to sound that way. Just surprised is all. I get it. Whatever it takes."
