Nihte ran as fast and hard as his feet would carry him away from the mall, pausing only briefly at the now and again fork in the road, trying for left, right, left right, going back in what he thought was the proper direction as soon as the turn presented itself, but still found himself very very lost. The air seemed to change after not to long and he paused at the newest fork in the road, thoroughly frustrated. he took a deep breath and sighed. Damnit- he paused, turning his head toward one of the two directions. The smell of something absolutely enticing tainted the air in that direction. At the same time for who knew what reason, the scent carried something with it that triggered a voice in the back of his mind screaming danger. He scowled, his curriosity and that little voice warring in his head for a good couple of minutes before curiosity won out. He would just have to be very VERY careful.
Hah, because that always worked out right?
He shut up the pessimistic thought and tip toed in the direction of the smell. Upon actually seeing the source his jaw dropped, and he clapped a hand over his mouth, stumbling backward and falling on his ass. A dark red-brown stain covered a large portion of the ground near a crumbling building, a bent nail seemed to be the center of the splatter and a large pool near by. he choked and gagged. It looked like most of the blood had seeped into whatever. He knew now why the place had attracted him. And why it had at the same time triggered something of a panic button in the back of his head. All this blood? Would probably catch the curiosity of anyone or thing able to catch the scent. The fact that it was probably all his, is his... did it still count as his anymore? Either way, it made his gut wrench in all kinds of uncomfortable knots. He skittered backward into a shadow, trying to get his head on strait. Just how much blood had he lost before Seph had given up on fixing him up. Had he given up or had he snapped? This night was just getting more and more screwed up by the second. If he waited here long enough... would Seph show up? With that thought, Nihte took a shaky breath to steady himself mentally and went on a search for somewhere nearby to hide if the sun started to come up.
