[Short Story] Awakening the Dead #1-6
Jorleif
Ah it is good to see you again Miss White, things have calmed down a lot since you dealt with those Vampires for us
Angela
Anytime Jorleif, happy to help always.
In fact I heard a rumor you have another issue?
Jorleif
Ah, well yes. See we had a bit of a... situation here in Windhelm a few weeks back, but all of that is behind us now thank the Gods.
Angela
What happend?
Jorleif
There was a manic on the lose, he attacked and murdered woman on the streets. But he has been brought to justice now by a Hero
Angela
I understand
Jorleif
Yes, but his... lair, it is full of his evil. If I am to sell this home in the future all of that evil must be cleansed.
Angela
Sounds like I'm just the person you need then?
Jorleif
Miss White, this is a.... serious matter. I've sent for the aid of the Vigil
Angela
No need friend, I was once a member of the Vigil myself.
Jorleif
I'm sure you can, but the evil that took place... I fear the souls of those woman still haunt it. The Guards refuse to enter and remove the crime scene, folk say they hear things when walking by... others.
Claim to see shadows in the windows
Angela
I'm not afraid of the Dark, I can handle this Jorleif
Jorleif
Very well, if you think you are up to it then please take this key, it will unlock the front door. Do what you must and return to me
Angela
I'll be back before you know it
Jorleif
Very well. Good luck
Angela
I don't believe in luck
Jorleif
That so?
Angela
I believe in fate
Angela
Gods... it is so dark in here
Angela
Thats....
Better
Angela
Okay the creepy factor is off the scale in here
Angela
And this is where the woman were murdered? Gods
Angela
I can almost feel the dark energy in here
Angela
I've not felt this kind of power in sometime. I wonder what this "manic" was doing in here, they sure caused a lot of panic around here
Angela
This is... different, a hidden door?
Angela
I have get.... one... of those
Angela
By the Divines!
Angela
Angela
Yuck! That smell...
Angela
This is a dark place indeed
Angela
<Gulps> I'm... sure thats just the wind
Angela
Ah shit, not again!
Angela
Come on stupid spell...
Angela
Why.... do I feel like I'm being watched?
Angela
H-hello?
Angela
Can't see shit
Angela
Anyone in here?
Angela
I... want to go now
Angela
Oh Angela, get a hold of yourself! There is nothing to fear
Angela
Well.... almost nothing
Angela
Something is in here and it is... haunting. I must find it and put it to rest
Angela
Okay... last room
Angela
Finally... you work!
Angela
EH! Hey, who turned out the light?
Angela
Stupid... stupid... spe--
Angela
<!!SCREAMS!!>
Mercy
BOO!
Angela
!!!MERCY!!!
What... what are you doing here in here? You frightened me half to death
Mercy
What? <Shrugs shoulders>
Angela
You... you were the messing with me, trying to scare me!
Mercy
I have no idea what your talking about
Angela
Why are you even dong here?
Mercy
Oh, that old guy with the terrible fashion sense thought I was you and... well long story short I came in here to find you.
Angela
What are you wearing?
Mercy
Whats wrong with it? I was at a party
Angela
What party?
Mercy
Count Henuils Party
Angela
Whose.... You mean a Vampire party?
Mercy
Well yeah and relax I went with Lullaby & Pandora, no one touched me... well they touched me a little but you know how Vampire parties go. No one drank form me if thats what you fearing Angela
Angela
Why did you not tell me about this party?
Mercy
Why, so you can moan and groan at me?
Angela
I would not have... okay maybe a little, but still you should tell me in the future. I thought you were at home
Mercy
Oh I was! I left a few days after you did I even told Vlam to keep the house in check before you came back. Oh and Tyq'ra wanted to go human hunting but I was busy so she decided to keep an eye on Vlam for us, but yeah the Party was pretty... hmm what's a good word to choose?
Angela
Sadistic? Vile? Bloodthirsty?
Mercy
All good ones Ange, but no I mean more... exotic words
Angela
Disgusting? Dreadful? Gruesome? Dangerous? I have a book back at home if you'd be happy to hear more?
Mercy
No no it was more Awe-Inspiring Ange. Vampires are such creative creatures we do not give them enough credit for their creativity, there was singing and dancing, paintings oh it was pretty sweet.
Angela
Right. So, I'm guessing you want to see the crime scene downstairs?
Mercy
You bet your sweet ass I do
Angela
It's not pretty
Mercy
Since when are murder scenes pretty?
Angela
You tell me, you were the one hanging out with Vampires?
Mercy
HEY!
Angela
Say why were you in the Palace of Kings anyway?
Mercy
I was going to talk with that Unliving guy
Angela
Oh?
Mercy
He said he had something interesting for me
Angela
Such as?
Mercy
I don't know, said it was right for my skills though
Angela
Meaning Necromancy?
Mercy
I'm a Conjurer not a Necromancer remember
Angela
You know that is a fair point, I've never seen you... oh wait, YES I HAVE
Mercy
When?
Angela
Lets see you raised those skeletons near Applewatch to scare the locals, or the time you rose that guy who been dead for like a day to scare his wife... infact you like to scare a lot of people by raising the dead
Mercy
That was for fun though, do you see me making the dead do chores and shit?
Angela
We have a Daedra for that Mercy
Mercy
Still, I would not ever think of making the dead do chores, because chores suck!
Angela
Oh I'd wager that chores can be fun, if with the right attitude & attire of course
Mercy
You mean like when we do Bondage stuff?
Angela
Yeah, I mean it makes a boring task like raking the leafs outside a bit more fun
Mercy
Because your butt naked and have a metal Chasity belt on?
Angela
No I mean because you set impossible tasks for me, ones I have no chance of completing because you like to cheat
Mercy
Hey you do the same to me
Angela
Because I--
Mercy
Oh! It's beautiful
Angela
Yeah... kind of is, in a messed up way of course
Mercy
I wonder what they were trying to do with all these bodies?
Angela
Rumor is they were trying to build like a flesh atronach or something
Mercy
Flesh Atronach, blah that's too easy... no no this is more then some simple zombie slave shit
Angela
Liiiike?
Mercy
Hmm, perhaps they were trying to build the perfect Thrall?
Angela
All the victims were female Mercy
Mercy
Female Thrall? What would-- Yuck!
Angela
Rumor is this Butcher was a man as well
Mercy
I'm 99% sure this was not a flesh sex doll, no this is something more
Angela
This stuff has been here a while, and look at that slab it has strange writing on it. I wonder--
Mercy
It's a resurrection rune
Angela
A what now?
Mercy
In theory you can summon a soul and tell it to inhabit a dead body, if you place items that belonged to the body of the soul then the better chance that soul comes for its body. So a resurrection rune
Angela
How do you know this?
Mercy
I read, like a lot of lot books and shit, some are lame others... less lame
Angela
So when we are apart all you do is read?
Mercy
Pretty much, I get a little action in from time to time but I'm a simple girl, I love to read and I love my ass kissed. Things you should know by the way my little ass kisser
Angela
Yeah yeah I'm an ass kisser I get the joke. So, what can we do?
Mercy
Nothing, these inscriptions are terrible, this "Butcher" had no chance to fulling this off. Hence all the dead bodies, he needed more and more.
Angela
Is it weird that it's kind of fascinating?
Mercy
What, listening to me?
Angela
And other things
Mercy
Heh, sure it is lover.
Angela
So, this place is not haunted after all?
Mercy
No, the souls likey moved on by now or when they were avenged. This maybe were their bodies were kept but if they're were haunting we have seen or heard them by now.
Angela
Okay so to clarify, you were the one messing with me upstairs right?
Mercy
Well dure!
Angela
HEY! Show some respect Mercy
Mercy
I'm a Necromancer, I have no respect
Angela
Just... do not break any of those bones, they should be burned and laid to rest
Mercy
I want a closer look is all
Angela
For what reason?
Mercy
Just curiosity
Angela
Well the view just got better from here anyway
Mercy
You mean my ass?
Angela
See-though really?
Mercy
Told you, Vampire party everyone was basically naked
Angela
Hah, bring me along next time. I might let them feed on you next time
Mercy
Hey since when are you Dominant?
Angela
Oh I'm sorry which role did you want me to do, oh wait yeah your the bitch
Mercy
I'm the bitch
Angela
And I'm the bitch
Mercy
See, makes sense
Angela
So, you wanna?
Mercy
Oh Angela, have you no shame?
Angela
I just suggested letting Vampires drink your blood to turn you on, you know I don't Mercy. I get that from you
Mercy
Hmm, could be hot? But then again I like it when they feed, you do not.
Angela
So?
Mercy
Well the next party is in a decade, you wanna wait that long?
Angela
A decade?
Mercy
Yeah, Vampires you know, sleep and shit. The Count hosts a cerebration party every decade for both mortal and immortal. Weird right?
Angela
Are we having sex or disguising Vampire parties?
Mercy
You wanna hear about all the sex I had or have sex?
Angela
Have sex please
Mercy
Shame, I have some freaky stories for you
Angela
You can give them to me later, right now Mercy White, I want you here with your lips on mine right now
Mercy
No tongue?
Angela
Shut up
Mercy
