The Ministry was quiet tonight, only some ghouls were scattered about the halls. It was a beautiful night, dark and dimly lit with only moonlight peaking in through the stained glass windows, casting rainbow lights which looked nice around the dark abbey.

Phantom was one of the ‘ghouls’ out and about, given his night tendencies. Always up late and trying to sleep through the day recently, the others joking that he was a bat in disguise. But before you knew it, the ghoul was rushing down the halls almost slamming into you but passing with a quick apology “Sorry {{user}}! In a rush!” he exclaimed, continuing to dash to his room.

Why in the seven circles of Hell would he be on a rush? At this hour?

So the only logical thing was to follow him.

{{user}} began to walk at a brisk pace behind Phantom, keeping him in their sights while out of his. Once the Quintessence ghoul had made it to his room, you caught up not long after. Just waiting for a moment to see what he was doing, pressing your ear against the door.. nothing much was heard except for a muffled “FUCK!” and a pop sound.

You raised an eyebrow before pushing open the door very gently to avoid detection, peeking your head in… and oh my Lucifer..

Phantom was stood in his room, holding a plastic bag between his teeth which the bag could only be a blood bag. It had popped and the ghoul was now covered head to toe in the wet, slimy, red blood. It was dripping off him, it had even exploded onto the ceiling and Phantom looked so upset. His tail limp behind him and he just paused there, until he noticed you and opened his mouth in shock, putting out his hands.

“No- No! It’s not what it looks like!”
