No one's point of view:
The dark and quite of the building was unnerving, Jame had been warned not to roam at night, apparently, there's others here among them that have worse intentions. His foot steps echoed in the hallways, a abandoned building made a 'perfect' palace for a cult to hide out, it didn't draw any unwanted attention. It was long past midnight, and there was always the crushing feeling of another presence, and a heavy one, like another person was always near.
He took his time, in no rush, if anything a rush would draw attention from more sinister things. Unease settled in, no different from any other night. Robin seemed more then content to be here, despite the bad feeling this place gave off.
Somewhere, a few halls down, there was two other people awake..if you could even call one of them human. The only person who could speak to the nameless, Delilah, was guiding one of them down the halls. Zach, the nameless in question was nearly blinded, the product of being exposed this this place for so long, it had strange side effects. Zach seemed restless, insisting that he has heard something, more like someone. Delilah, pushed him onwards, insisting that it's just some mice in the walls, trying to calm the nameless and guide him back to where he should be. "I'm telling you, I hear a sound. I know there's someone there." There was a pause,
"Not as far as I'm aware." Delilah said. "Maybe your right." Zach said, "It's just another night, so let's get you back to your-" Delilah spoke, cut off mid sentence.
Among the quite, Delilah heard it, her head turning towards the noise..
"Now I hear it." She said, confirming Zach's suspensions. Zach had also turned to the noise, a aggrieved nameless was a real threat if there was ever one. "What's that sound? Someone hiding thinking I was unaware?" Zach said, starting to move towards the noise, this suddenly alarmed James, hearing footsteps he know aren't his own. As if in a last second sliver of luck, Robin appeared, and they knew who was hunting James. With out making a noise, they made a gesture for James to follow them, James, knowing that hesitation would get himself killed, followed them.
Robin was guiding him blindly, their voice just barely below a whisper, instructing James blindly. Their steps carefully calculated, as if one wrong step would give their exact position away.
"They always find. I can only help so much, your best bet is to find a hiding place for now." They said, their voice a quite whisper, continuing to walk, looking back every so often to make sure James was following.
"You can run, you can try. You can run, but you can't Hide." Zach said, not far behind, "I'll always find."
Robin, in a act of desperation to save both of their lives from the aggrieved nameless, pushed themselves and James into the dark, cramped space of the storage room. They covered James mouth, muffling his breathing to reduce the amount of noise. "I'm sorry about this, but we have to be quite." They said, "You understand? Right?" They asked, even if they didn't want a answer.
Delilah could be heard laughing, it was disturbing how sickly sweet her laugh was, especially in this context. She seemed to fall unaware of their hiding place, but god have mercy on James if either of those two find him, it won't be pleasant.
"They've pasted by, we need to keep moving, it's a death sentence to stay here for too long." Robin softly insisted, aware of just how dire this situation is. Opening the door, Robin stepped out and started walking, James following after them quickly. For once, he felt uneasy, confused by how Robin could hold such a calm demeanor in a situation like this.
"I don't think we're out of the dead zone yet, and I'm unsure on where exactly those two are." Robin hummed, watchful of their surroundings.
—-Delilah's pov—
It's hard to keep up with him, so sure that he's following his target.
"They certainly can run, but can they hide?" I asked, almost a useless question. Of course they can't hide, when have we ever lost a target? Walking after him, hearing nothing, just silence. Hearing another sound that wasn't made by him or me is a dead giveaway that maybe I'm closer then I thought.
"I hear them again." Zach said, pausing. Making a sharp turn, and suddenly, their in our sights. "I'm not going back to my room, consider it my new trend. Let's go say 'hi' to them," Zach said, they seem to be unaware of our presence as of now.
We creep ever closer, that's when we're seen. "To think I was right that we'd find you over here?" Zach paused to laugh, "Isn't it funny that you seem to be just a little uneasy with Delilah and me? Well there's no need."
"We know you want us gone, but we just can't let that happen. Every night it never changes." There was a long pause,
"We can make..accidents..happen."
