Even as the pair were the next floor door, even deeper within the basement, Artemis could hear the pounding and breaking of the door upstairs. Those hunters would be inside that room soon no doubt and she could little but trust the man who held her within his arms. The very act made her stiff, but she had hardly time to consider the close proximity of a handsome man, because their very lives were at stake. Too bad it was awfully dark in this portion of the room, but still, something caught her attention on the other side of the wall. "O-over there, another door. We could see if that leads us out. It was .. was rumored the basement of the library eventually opens up to the catacombs of ancient times. But.." She pressed her lips, feeling too, the strange aura in this room, as if something were calling to her- callign to her beyond the door they were heading towards as she chewed into her lip.
She must be hearing things, she wasn't hearing voices. She had to focus, to keep her wits about her.. lest she fall prey to the chaos all about. And as they neared the door, her eyes widened at the sort of lock upon it. And she knew her key would not fit.
THe lock itself held a silver carving with a demon's face, the key hole, it's mouth open.
Her face twisted at the very sight of it, a breath hitching int he back of her throat as she gasped.
"I ... I do not think I have a key for such a door,"s he stammered, feeling frustrated and helpless as more tears heated in her eyes. Even the door looked strange...
but then a loud THUMP caught her attention, making her yelp as she turned, glancing over her shoulder, catching sight of yet another door... this one appearing more squat and shallow, smaller even. But the lock...
It looked like her key might fit into it.
"Over there. The small door. I think my key might fit," she said. "Perhaps that could also lead to something?"
OOC: Maybe they find the demon book on some sort of alter in that room with the peculiar lock on it? And maybe they find the key elsewhere? I'm thinking the squat door is small where the pair would have to crawl into it if they wanted to see what was in it, and maybe it opens to a storage room that contains more clues/ hints towards the demonic book idea we wanted to go with~ just a thought >> and again, sorry the post might be rambly T_T *tired*
