Jim turns over, looking around the darkness, searching for signs of life. Near pitch black surrounds him, he is stricken with gut wrenching guilt, and sobs noisily into the darkness, knowing no one else can see his tears. Jason is gone...completely gone.
Bella sits with her back pressed against a wall near the altar, unable to see, like the rest, but also not sure what to take in of the situation at hand. She can hear Jim sobbing, someone moving around, groping at walls, and she herself seems reasonably...alive. What comes next? She wonders to herself. Alive or not though, she failed. She'd said she'd make sure Jason lived, even if it meant sacrificing herself, but she'd never really been given the chance...

Jason slowly came to, though he wasn't sure if he really was awake.. it was so dark. When the sounds started to enter his ears, he knew they were, so far, safe.. He was weak though, from blood loss, and frankly, he felt a bit sick. ".... J-Jim? ... Bella?" he asked softly, struggling to shift into a sitting position, though his body rebelled and did its best to keep him laying there.
Were they still in the church? were they somewhere else? Dammit, how could they even tell anymore? He used the Sword of Obedience like a crutch to stand up and keep balance, though already disoriented and the room dark, he had his difficulties. "........" he knew the altar was still there...... his lip quirked, there in the darkness.. "Jim.." his weak voice a bit louder. ".... you .. did promise me, didn't you?"

AS FARRAH
After Farrah investigates the walls of the cathedral and lights the four candles around the Altar, she looks around the stone slab trying to find any sign of the boy, but there is nothing, not even a cinder or an ash. Instead, she finds Bella. Farrah is not sure what to say to her, now that the immediate threat that has forced their alliance as been vanquished, can she trust her? And why did she try to kill her, she even shot at her, grazing her face, she almost killed her. But that seems to be over, and she seems withdrawn.
"Bella, I'm sorry... I'm going to find the others."
She feels out in the dark, she recognizes Jim's tears and quietly and blindly walks from pew to pew in search of him. She bumps into somebody in the dark, almost knocking the other person down. She quickly apologizes and helps James back to his feet.
"Um, Hi, you must be James. Yes, we are still in the church, and alive, but I couldn't find a way out, it is just smooth stone on every wall. Can you please help me find Jim, and tell me what is going on here. I tried not to asked earlier, well but this is the first time that I've had a chance to think. Nothing that is going on here is making any sense. And since you guys seem to have been here longer, you must know something." She pauses for a moment, realizes that she is still holding James hand, and quickly lets go. Hears Jim again, and blindly searches again "James, can you help me find him?"
As she walks off, James stumbles and bumps against a pew.
"James, nevermind, maybe you should rest." She helps him sit down. "I'll go find Jim, oh and James? Thank you for killing that monster, it probably doesn't matter know, but I'm glad that it is gone, thank you." Farrah then walks out in the dark, after a few minutes and stumped toes he finds Jim. Sits near him and holds him in her arms. "You did all you could have done, that man, Jordan wasn't human, and the Angel... we didn't even have a chance. You almost killed yourself trying to save him, and you would have gladly given your life to save him. You are a good man, a brave man, never forget that. I'm here for you."

Bella stood in the darkness, she'd been wrong about Farrah so far and felt terrible for it. She'd stuck with them until now, and was just as confused and frightened as the rest of them. There had to be a way out of this place, somehow.
She too groped through the darkness, searching for something out of place, a lever, knob, something.

James sat and rested, letting himself recover... this was really weird.. was it really all over? All that was there was the altar and some pews. That was it. Not that the altar was bad. He needed that, but he also needed a way home. He ran through the rituals he knew of.. he was missing a few of the relics. And he only knew of one that led to a way out, but it seemed more like a way to end it all, rather than get home. Now, this was truly bothering him. Not to mention the intense feeling of blood loss... or was this even about the bloodloss now? He was still shaking from the blood loss, but.. maybe it wasn't totally about that. He coughed several times before leaning over. He felt like he was going to throw up. He began dry heaving, vision losing all focus. Shit, this wasn't all the blood loss.. this was unfair! "F-Fuck! D-Does anyone have.... a-anything!? Anything... vicodin, medicine, I don't care.. just anything!" It was only going to get worse from here.. He needed a fix NOW.
James is resting.

GAME UPDATE
Bella eventually finds a set of double doors, but they have been fused together, stuck to the door is an old parchment, yellowed and brittle with age.
Welcome Initiate, by God's will and mercy you have endured the Trials of Isolation and have caught a glimpse of Humanity's beastly nature. You are now given leave to complete the Ritual of your choosing. Keep in mind your studies, Initiate, do not stray from the Necromonicon, Book of Lost Memories, and the Book of the Crimson Ceremony. They are your guides, your teachers, and mentors; any error of judgment could be fatal. You may proceed, but if your courage fails you, leave through these doors, Bella-Marie Kalivosa, and you will not be able to return to this sacred ground again.
The doors may now be opened.
Farrah is Resting, she has recovered from her wounds. James suffers from Major Wounds, he is Resting. Jim suffers from Major Wounds, he is Resting.

James sighs.. he feels no better, but forces himself over to the doors to see the note. He takes it and begins to read it, though his vision somewhat betrayed him and he took a good while longer than he should've.
(let me know if he sees exactly the same thing and I'll add to this.)

"This doesn't sound good at all... I was hoping this was over...we've lost enough blood, taken enough sacrifices, I'm tired of this." Bella whines aloud.

James looked over in Jim's direction..... then to Bella and Farrah..... He didn't have a lot of time now.... he coughed several times, nearly starting a new fit of dry heaves.. Jim owed him. He owed him big. He just.. needed more time to get blood back. He needed more time.
"We should figure out what else we need... Bella, do you still have that Halo?" he asked, curious. He walked to the altar, collecting up the relics there. He wanted to see what all they had. He was interested to know... just what they were able to accomplish now.. seemed like... probably everything.
(hopefully he'll still be resting enough to heal a bit xD;; hopefully)

GAME UPDATE
James and Jim have recovered from their wounds!
The candles at the Altar are noticeably shorter then before. They cannot be extinguished to save the wax. It is only a matter of time until they die.
