@neonju sent: "...That’s a lot of blood." Spoken as more of a statement than anything else, yet not without its widened stare. At first, Ji-Woon might have assumed that Mister Myers had outdone himself--it would have taken quite a lot of slaughtering on his part to cause that much blood to spill! Perhaps he merely returned from a particularly successful trial, but... upon further inspection... those luminous, golden eyes had caught sight of the rather staggering injury.
Ragged and labored breaths, each rise and fall of his chest tearing at the gaping hole in the figure’s side. The knife had sliced and turned within the flesh of his abdomen, The Shape’s own weapon turning against him in the previous trial. This was unsuspected, surprising, unfamiliar...
A stumble, and four bodies pried his fingers away from the handle, Laurie Strode fighting and pushing with more urgency and strength than the other faceless creatures.
The warmth of crimson both trickles beneath clothes and spreads into them, tainting the fabric with the stench of metal. One of the Shape’s palms is still coated in it, drying with the lack of contact after grabbing it as if attempting to sew himself back together. There is pain and there is weakness. The figure’s vision is clouded and swimming. The turn of Michael’s head towards the voice unbalances him, equilibrium unable to adjust. The Shape stumbles backwards slowly, body pressed against the trunk of a large tree. It holds him steady for the time being.
There is no doubt that the injury, over time, will cause him to dissolve into the abyss only to return somewhere else. The Shape must wait.
