The three of you finally agree that this box must be opened. Working together with what tools you can find around the basement, you quickly break apart the chains and open the box. Inside is...a shadow? That's all it seems to be, something with no real mass or form, but it's moving in there and expaning. A tentaclue of darknees shoots out and down Janice's throat. She siezes and gags and here eyes roll back in her head, but it doesn't last long. The tentacle retracts as another shoots into Tom the same way. There's likely a third for you, so you're already running. Then you feel something hit you from behind. Looking up, you see Janice, but her eyes have gone black as night and she's pulling you back to the box of shadows. You try to escape, but she's inhumanly strong. With Tom's help, who has now also turned, Janice holds you infront of the box. The initial attack is startling, but not painful. Then it simply sucks the life out of you, leaving something of itself behind. You can see it in there, that shadow seed, spreading through your body, but as you finally die you see that the body is no longer yours to control, anyway.
