Honey smile again, not asking who she was. Instead, she pushed herself off the wall.

(coughy cough)
Letting the men talk, she moved over to the telescope in the center of the room, taking a peak. Cassius was no longer in the room, but she could feel that he was not far.

Tolk looked at Hinata and gave a sad smile. He'd actually been quite happy to meet her. There were very few people he would trust his life with, and she had earned a spot on that list. He was kind of sad to be going soon.
Seth noticed Tolk's sad smile and glanced at Hinata. "You'll be able to come visit every once in a while right?"

Hinata looked over at them.
"Of course! Besides, Tolkalee here invited me and my husband over already."

Cassius’ spirit got into his serious mode after knowing what the figure was. Silently, he attempted to fight with the figure without waking anyone up. The figure’s attacks all came from their body and were impossible to see in the dark though Cassius managed to dodge most of them due to his glow in the dark eyes. He countered some of the figure’s attacks to which the figure retreated.
Cassius tried to follow the figure but came to a stop when his body started to disintegrate. He walked back to the ten meter radius as his body reformed itself. He jumped back up to Hinata’s room and silently positioned himself back on the stool, now on the lookout for potential threats.

Having said her piece, Hinata smiled and turned back to her telescope. She saw Cassius had returned to the room, but how he looked made Hinata's before crass slightly. Something was off.

Cassius’ spirit walked around the room, looking at the door and the window once every minute or so. He glanced back at Hinata once in a while as well, just making sure she’s sleeping well.

Aisen smiled softly at Adara’s and Jon’s interaction. He remembered something.
“Maybe you two should get some rest…” he mentioned.

Yes, something was off. Of course, she had guests at the moment, so she couldn't exactly wake up and see what it was. She also wouldn't bring Cassius back, for he had just left, and she had a feeling he was on the lot from the way he moved. She would wait and check in occasionally, then.

Cassius no longer stood still like a statue, he ran outside the room when he heard something from inside the house. He was shocked to see what had happened…

(You know what, screw manners. Hinata's kicking Tolk and Seth out even though nothing dangerous is probably happening XD)
Hinata turned to Tolkalee and Seth.
"Sorry guys, but I think I need to wake up. It was good having you over!" With that, Tolkalee and Seth returned to their own bodies, and Hinata opened her eyes. She quietly stepped to the door, thinking she was ready for anything.

(Are you sure about that last part…?)

Cassius was kneeling on the floor with two bodies lying in front of him. They weren’t even of the people in the house. The bodies were of Royce and Axel of the eleventh generation, both were cut and opened from their necks to their chest. Their mouths were bleeding and blood was all over the place. When Cassius tried to heal them, nothing happened. There was a seal on Axel’s left hand, one of the gunman hunter who was able to cancel out others’ abilities.

Royce’s body was slightly a bit more disturbing than Axel’s, having a dagger in his mouth and through his neck it went. Axel, on the other hand, had a dagger through his ear which passed right through his skull.

Hinata put a hand to her mouth silently.

Cassius activated his glow in the dark pair of eyes and looked around. When he turned to his right which was a blind spot, another lifeless doll was pinned to the wall. This was of Arthur, who had a dagger through each of his lungs and a longsword through where his heart existed. His eyes were blank and his mouth was kept shut by a needle and string which went from his collar through his jaw and came out through his mouth. There was a note tied to the string.
Shh… Sleep tight now child…

Hinata leaned against the doorway. She couldn't believe this had happened right outside of where she was sleeping.
(Right as I read this the horror episode of the show I'm watching came on. I'm slightly uncomfortable rn…)

(That’s just bad luck I think XD)

Cassius swallowed nervously. He had not seen something like this since… who knows when. He knew that there was no way that any of these three could still be alive even if Royce’s and Axel’s bodies wasn’t too badly messed up.
He walked up to Arthur’s body and slowly pulled the longsword out of his heart. Arthur’s body then fell to the floor with blood flooding around his motionless remains.

"This… This isn't good." Hinata swallowed, but her throat was dry.

(How did you know?)

From within the darkness behind Hinata, a figure stepped out and locked Hinata by her neck. His right hand holding a revolver while his left had Hinata in a bizarre posture in which she can’t escape with any ease.
“Silence…” the gunman said to Cassius, pointing the gun at him.
Cassius had both of his hands in the air.

(Idk. It's a family thing. Grandma had then too.)
Hinata's eyes widened when the figure grabbed her. She struggled slightly at first, then stopped when they point the gun at Cassius.

Cassius noticed something.
“Stop pretending… you aren’t the real gunman are you? Reveal yourself…” Cassius said in a very low tone.
The gunman laughed slightly and his face started to melt. The melted skin started to reform into an abomination of a person with muscle fibers and veins outside their arms, black and white spots and streaks across their body and several cuts and bruises everywhere.
Cassius quickly grabbed Hinata when the figure was transforming.
“Smart one aren’t you…?” the figure smiled as they shot their head up to reveal half a human face and the other half with veins sticking out like an octopus and its tentacles.

“Parasitic Host…” Cassius cursed the figure’s name under his breath.

Tolkalee jumped up when Hinata kicked them out, Seth was also on his feet. Something tugged at Tolkalee's gut. Something was wrong, he couldn't tell if it was here or at home, it could be both. Seth also felt that something was wrong. They looked at each other and then started moving. Tolkalee quietly moved past Dakota, but stopped. He motioned something to Seth who nodded, and then he looked back to Dakota. "Dakota get up, we gotta go."

Dakota slowly stood up.
“What…? Why… exactly…? It’s the middle of the night, where are we even going…?” He slowly got the words out.

"Two reasons, A, we need to find Hinata and make sure she's okay. B, we both have a bad feeling, and when we both have that something is going to go down and it's not gonna be good," Tolkalee explained quietly.
