(Some of this post might be a bit chronologically confused but... what the hey?)

Nish's bite mark was starting to throb; he grabbed hold of it and noticed that the corner of his eye was beginning to go dark and that he was losing focus.

He then heard a buzzing sound in his ears.

"Someth- Someth- ing's not righ-"

Before he could warn them, his vision had cut completely.

Nish awoke, isolated in a dark place; he adjusted to the surroundings and rubbed his eyes.

It looked like a sewer of sorts... but no it was more familiar, Nish had been here before.

He glanced around and immediately recognised the layout.

Not this shit hole...

He recognised it alright; it was the ratway, a place that he loathed.

The cannibals, the painful memories, the thieves’ guild... plenty of reasons to hate this place for its impact on his life.

Not to mention the smell...

He got up and looked around, trying to find a way out. The tunnel that he was in gave him the choice of two exits, one was currently in front of him and the other was behind.

Both of them had 'death' written all over them.

"Lovely..." He muttered, heading forwards.

He then stopped as he noticed a shadowy figure run in front of him.

"What the bloody..."

He looked around, to make sure that he wasn't being followed.

Nothing...

He quickly turned around to be greeted by a figure, which seemed to be hanging from the ceiling, upside down.

It grinned at him and his orange glowing eyes brightened, before it punching him in the face.

Nish yelled and fell to the floor; the figure jumped back onto the ceiling and scurried away.

"This is too easy..." its mockery echoed through the tunnels.

Nish sat up and wiped the blood from his nose, looking around for the culprit.

Nish drew his knife and peered around "C'mon arsehole!" He snapped, looking around to see if he was hiding.

The figure dropped down on top of him and pulled him to the floor, causing Nish to drop his knife.

It too had a knife; however the knife dispersed as soon as Nish dropped his.

Nish hit the figure across the face, sending it staggering to the right. He then kicked it, knocking it onto its back and giving him time to escape.

Nish ran through the tunnels, being careful not to step on any rats that were scurrying about along the floor that would likely give his position away.

He eventually stopped when he got to a room that was better lit and more open.

Before he could think of what to do, he was tackled to the floor and pinned down. He looked up and finally got to see his attacker, the attack was an exact duplicate of Nish but with vampire eyes and teeth.

Oddly enough, his nose was also bleeding.

Before Nish could react, the figure wrapped its hands around his neck and tried to strangle him. Nish was quick to react and punched the vampire across the face.

"What are you?" He snapped, it seemed a good place to start.

"A future..."

It then lunged for him again, Nish reached for his knife, thinking that it was there.

To his surprise he had the knife in his hand again, however, his enemy used this brief moment of surprise to tackle him to the ground and push its knife against Nish's neck.

Nish held the figure's hand and by extension the knife away from his neck, it took a lot of effort as they were both equal strength.

"I look forward to killing you..." He seethed.

Nish ignored him and focussed on trying to get the creature off of him.

"Don't know what I'll do with that dark elf bird, don't know if it would be funnier to tear her throat open as soon as I wake up or wait a while for her to gain my trust..."

Nish thrust his knife forward and stabbed the doppelganger in the gut, causing them both to shriek in pain.

Somehow the damage he inflicted on the vampire had marked his body to.

How can I kill something that would die when I do? Nish thought, trying to stand up on legs of jelly.

"If I die here, you die out there! If you die here, I die out there and there's nothing that you can do to stop me!" The vampire taunted.

Nish thought for a second... moving his fingers.

The vampire Nish noticed that something had appeared in his hand; he looked down and was surprised.

"A tangerine?"

He was interrupted when Nish's tangerine hit him square in the face and sent them both staggering; however, Nish had expected it and fled the area.

"You can't hide from me Nish! You're stuck here until you die!" It called.

Nish found another room, similar to the one he had just battled the vampire in.

He swore that they were on a loop but he didn't have time to test the theory.

"Foolish child..." The vampire hissed.

Nish looked up to see him perched above him, as soon as it was seen; it jumped down and landed before him.

I can't... Nish fell back and leant against the wall.

I can't beat this bloody thing...

The vampire could taste his despair and began to approach him.

Nish looked up and saw it heading towards him.

I've failed you Eilo...

Then he stopped, something just occurred to him.

Nish then stood up, fire in his eyes.

"Oh... here for one last stand hero? Good it will be more amusing when you fail..." The vampire mused.

Nish reached over his head and drew Lilly's staff

It's a long shot...

The vampire grabbed hold of an identical staff that summoned before him and laughed.

On a mental count of three, Nish flicked the staff forward sending a red energy ball to him, which struck the vampire on the chest.

The vampire Nish was hit and burst into flames, screeching.

It ran around, clawing at the walls until it fell on its back and its shrieks weakened as its skin became more charred.

To Nish's surprise, the staff had healed him instead; it truly was as unpredictable as Lilly said.

As the vampire turned to dust, a door appeared before Nish, he quickly ran through it, not waiting for anything to stop him.
