The pill made him a little sleepy. A hand at the small of his back steadied his gate. A harsh whisper in his ear. "Come. Steady now." It wasn't a comforting voice. The hand at his back was cold. The breath on his neck even more so. The scent of stale metal and death lingered in the air. But there was little he could do than lift his feet and move forward through the crowd where she directed.
It was a she -- that much he was aware. Long lithe fingers circled his wrist and the halls drew narrow but the illumination stayed the same -- maybe brighter. Images of the laughing skull flashed and vanished before he moved down each way. The wrasping voice spoke softly "Come, my pet."
The music was fading. His feet were heavy. Cruz sank to the ground cradled in the woman's arms. The euphoria was spreading through his body. The images were dazzling and amazing and then she leaned down, her smile was that of sharp teeth, and her lips were blood red. The dark black eyes in her sunken face cackled as she roared at him and Cruz could only scream as the images faded into darkness and horror.
