The smell of blood wafted through the air around the stranger, her body battered and bruised from the beasts that stalked Soleil City. Vitessa helped the woman up to her feet as she responded, ”Unfortunately, I've seen more than I can count or care to admit. They just recently descended up this housing district. When I left earlier, it was almost peaceful. Almost.”
“We came from the Lumiere housing district, it wasn’t as bad when we left but…on the way here there was a lot of chaos. We had to leave our car behind because of all the road blockages and this housing district is the fastest route from where we were to get into Doux.” Vitessa also sighed, feeling a similar amount of frustration as the stranger.
Vitessa frowned at the thought, realizing that John had also left on a business meeting earlier today. Although, she trusted the mob boss to be more protected than the average civilian in Soleil so she forced herself not to worry too much. She continued to listen to the stranger’s observations, how the air was heavy and her stomach was twisted in knots. Beverly continued to scout the area as the two spoke, the personal assistant was rather hyper-vigilant.
”I’m still fairly new to the area...I'm basically on my own...And I lost my long sword along the way…”
“Do you remember where you lost it? We can help you back track to retrieve it. Then we’ll pour holy water on the blade, its more effective for these creatures from what I’ve seen on social media and smaller news outlets.” She had done her research before they left the estate. She also had time in the car to process more information while Beverly had drove. Vitessa didn’t want to leave this woman without a means of defending herself, not in this kind of apocalyptic atmosphere.
Vitessa knelt down, helping the woman pick up the scattered supplies, “I’m Vitessa, this is my personal assistant, Beverly. We’re going to Doux to look for a dear friend of mine…Hmmm. How about you come with us after we find your sword? We’ll be safer in a group, there’s no telling what it’ll be like as the day drags on.” After handing the woman the rest of the supplies, she then dug into her own bag and yanked out bandages. Beverly gave a quick glance over at the stranger, nodding her head in acknowledgement before peering around their general vicinity again.
”Here, for now you can use these until we stop somewhere to get your wounds cleaned up,” Vitessa handed her the bandages and watched as she wrapped them around the major wounds over her body. ”I don’t know much about the underworld or these creatures but I’m hoping there’s a way to stop this madness. Do you have any experience with the supernatural?” Once the woman finished bandaging herself, Vitessa took lead through the tall grass of Pasadena. Beverly took the back, allowing the two other women to walk in front of her while she kept guard from behind. There were screams coming from all directions of the housing district as more and more people were being attacked by the creatures from the underworld in broad daylight. If only they didn't have to ditch their car, they would've made it to Zara's apartment in Doux much faster. On foot was their only option for now. Vitessa took directions from their new companion, Rowan, as they were in search of her sword first.

The Prophet
↛ Listening intently to the other woman as she spoke, Rowan twisted her fingers together in an anxious movement. "Once things started to get bad around here, people were dragged from cars or just panicked and ran...It's chaos like I've never seen..." She mumbled to herself, her green eyes falling to the other woman who was keeping watch, a super vigilant person, not a bad thing to have at this current moment. This woman was lucky to have someone with her, also, the skill to protect herself as well. It made Rowan feel a little stupid for trying to go out as she was not much of a fighter, but there were things she had needed if she was going to lock herself into her home.
At the woman's offer to help her find her sword and cover it in holy water, Rowan smiled in an appreciative manner, "It would mean a lot to me for many reason to get that sword back. I had it covered in holy water, but after so many swipes through those things, it looses its effects..." Wincing as she moved a little, the wounds covering her body ached and demanded she slow down and get them under control first. Gesturing with her hand down the street some, she looked off in that direction, "It should be that way, probably not too far from here." She was definitely indebted to this woman for saving her life and her offer of help.
Wincing again as she picked up the last of the supplies she had dropped, thanking Vitessa quietly for her help with that, Rowan nodded to her as she spoke. "Under the circumstances, it's still a pleasure to meet you Vitessa and Beverly. I'm Rowan." She paused she gripped her bag of supplies tightly, "You don't have much farther to go if Doux is where you're heading. It'll probably be a fairly easy trek on the way too to recover my sword." She cast them an exhausted smile and bagged the supplies Vitessa had picked up for her, her eyes welling with tears at the offered bandages. "Thank you very much..." Her voice was soft as she took the bandages and began to apply them. There was one to her ribs that she hadn't noticed before, and it was a bit deeper than the rest, wincing and trying to cover them the best she could, she felt more like a walking bandage afterwards than a person.
Thinking on what Vitessa said, Rowan shook her head, "Unfortunately no...I'm not sure if there is something I can do...But I can try. But we need to be in a secure area first." What she wanted to do was touch something from the Shades. Whether it be a Shade itself, or something left behind by them, but she would exhaust herself trying to figure out anything about them that way...
Turning and following after Vitessa, she managed to keep pace with her as she lead them up the street the way she had come running before when she had lost her sword. "It shouldn't be too far up here..." She mumbled as she let her eyes swivel back and forth looking for it. But also keeping very aware of any potential dangers.

Why the heck had Ay decided he just had to follow Erik to the store? Erik wasn’t doing anything exciting, just picking up another pack of smokes since he’d run out earlier this morning. Perhaps Ay had never been in a convenience store before? Yeah, that sounded about right, the guy had been so damn sheltered that perhaps a store like this was a whole new concept. ”Go ahead and get whatever you want,” he called out to the elf, ”I’ll cover it.” Sure Ay was rich enough to buy all of Erik’s worldly possessions five times over with pocket change, but it was the gesture that mattered. As for him he was just getting the cigs and a candy bar and that was enough indulgence for the day. He was about to head up to the counter when several people all entered at once. Being just a touch paranoid, he scoped them out in secret, trying to figure out how much of a threat they might be. ”s**t, red alert. Where the hell is that damn elf.” He tucked his hair down into his jacket and drew the hood low over his face. As nonchalantly as possible, he found Ay and headed over to him. Ever so quietly he told him, ”don’t act alarmed, but the guys who just walked in are bad news. Grab whatever you are getting now, then we’re going to pay as casually as we can then get the hell out, alright?” Though the inflection made it sound like a question, there was no debate about whether or not they would go through with the plan, it was just a question of how well Ay could pull it off.

Erik beelined it for the cash register as well, careful to never acknowledge the gang in the store but still keep alert as to their location. He had his wallet out as soon as he put the items on the counter. They weren’t going to be in here much longer. Even the clerk seemed a bit disconcerted about the newcomers, probably sensed something was up but didn’t have enough street smarts to know how to get out of the way. ”That’ll be six twenty-three,” the clerk said with a barely steady voice. Erik was getting the change out when he heard a voice from the back of the store: ”Holy s**t you see that bird the chick’s got? That’s gotta be exotic as hell. Bet we could get a pretty penny for it.” Erik sighed, ”so close,” he muttered under his breath. The one who had been talking swaggered up to them, taking just long enough for Erik to slide the money over to the cashier. At least now they could legally take their s**t if they had to dash. ”Hey girl, how about you and that freaky bird come with us. Your boyfriend doesn’t seem like much of a man. He got the hood up so no one can see his ugly mug?” That elicited a bit of laughter from the others. ”Just leave my friend alone, alright? Neither he nor I are looking for trouble. And you wouldn’t be interested in the bird, he can be freaking annoying sometimes. Give you more headaches than bucks.” He kept the hood down low still, but he was looking in the general direction of the current annoyance.
’Who are you to say what I want? Pretty boy here ain’t a chick? Damn, guess you hand over the bird or you both are going to get your teeth kicked in.”
”Let’s go,” he said to Ay and nudged him towards the door.
”I didn’t say you could go. You’re going to do what I tell you or else.”
”Or else what? You really so dumb to pull some s**t in public where there are security cams? Why don’t you just show everyone your damn driver’s license you’re at it.” This was such a huge gamble on his part, especially when he didn’t know if they were armed, but there was no way would give his bird friend over, so placation was out of the question.
The brute considered this for a moment and cursed. ”This ain’t over, you hear? You’ll slip up some day and we’ll be there.” He motioned for his cronies to follow, some of them clearly taking merchandise out with them without paying for it.
Erik sighed, ”Well, that went well didn’t it?” The clerk gave him an incredulous stare. Erik just shrugged, ”none of us are injured. Yet.” Despite his cold demeanor he was nervously running hundreds of situations, figuring out how the heck to survive them. ”Still, it might not be a bad idea to stick to populated streets.”

He didn’t pay a damn bit of attention when Lugh started to argue with him. He was used to people not quite understanding the lengths to which he went to protect others. ”Yeah, we can hang out for a little while, but not too long, I don’t want to give them a chance to organize an ambush.” Much as he wanted to smoke right now, he’d wait until he was out of the store. Couldn’t give up on his morals just because he was stressed. The candy bar, however, would not offend anyone. He went ahead and opened it up and took a bite. ”s**t I needed this. Sweet sweet legal addiction.” No he was not about to elaborate on that comment. Ay could puzzle it out on his own or ask if he was truly curious, but for now he was going to enjoy the endorphin release softening the grip dread had upon his mind.
He’d wait a couple minutes, savoring the candy as long as he could before sighing and looking over to Ay. ”We should probably get going. Keep your head low and your eye out for trouble. They might have been able to set something up already.” He sort of doubted it, but he was never so confident as to assume trouble wasn’t about to bite him in the a**. As soon as he exited the store Kro flew off the roof and perched on his shoulder. ”Thanks for the warning, dumbass.” Kro cocked his head, ”something happen?”
”Enemy flock from back home walked in, and they were carrying.”
Kro froze for just a moment, ”s**t…not them again. They get a good look at you?”
”Nah, but they already have it in for us.”
”Damn you screwed.”
”Thanks for the reassurance, peacock. Could you maybe just concentrate on watching for trouble?”
”No problem, chick. If it weren’t for the obvious stress you are under, I’d be offended at the nickname.”
Erik sighed and shook his head, but left it at that. He knew Kro was well aware just how nervous he was. This was damn near the worst situation he could get himself in, and now he was in it with Dora the naive explorer.

 The elf nodded when Erik replied it was best to wait a bit. They were much more experienced in this kind of trouble, so Ayluin would only act on what Erik told him to do. Still, an ambush didn’t sound much more favorable. He looked at Erik when they grabbed the candybar they had been carrying and looked puzzled but he would ask later. It was a little confusing to see that they could be this calm at a moment like this. Personally he was feeling rather shaken up. He waited until they were good to go and nodded again. Ayluin quickly grabbed Lugh from his shoulder, eliciting a surprised cry from the bird, and held him close just in case some of the guys might try and grab him off his shoulder when they exited the building. ”A little too tight Your Majesty.” Lugh managed to say and the moonelf loosened his hold a bit but he didn’t let go. "Sorry Lugh." he replied softly as the phoenix sighed in relief and followed Erik out of the store cautiously. Once outside he looked around but the coast seemed clear. He lifted Lugh a bit higher to soften his hold and adjust it to a more favorable position. Ayluin startled a bit when Erik suddenly spoke angrily to Kro and turned to look at them. It wasn’t something he would get between, but the elf always did his best to deal with a situation as best as he could. Which generally meant do whatever Erik told him to do. At least he was a little less defenseless now. When Erik spoke of the old flock though, the elf couldn’t help but remember the day Erik got shot in the alley and it didn’t do much to lessen his concern. They had to get home quickly. Would there be time to call the police if it went wrong before they got home to avoid their group getting hurt? The elf hoped they could. When Kro flew up to watch the surroundings, Ay tapped Erik’s arm gently as he looked at them. "What do you want us to do? What path will we take to get home?" he asked softly, shaken up but his voice surprisingly without a shiver. It even surprised the elf, but he didn’t linger on it. They had to move. As much as he was taken to his innocence, even now after all he had seen, the Ayluin that had lived in Soleil a while now knew better. He was aware they were in a treacherous situation where every move counted and he kept his guard up, keeping an eye on their surroundings too. ▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂ [Address : 1203 Pasadena]xxx[Profile: Link]

”Kro is going to scout ahead, see if he can see any of them. For now, we keep to the busiest streets we can. And stay close.” Frankly he probably would have held the elf’s hand if it weren’t for the fact said hands were full of bird at the moment. While it wasn’t as tangible a connection, he’d just have to make do with knowing they were right beside him. It wasn’t the most direct route they were taking, but there were a handful of little shops along this path, and while not perfect, it meant there were shop owners, maybe some customers, and much more traffic on the road. ”There’s a bogey two blocks down. Turn right onto the next street. Follow it for a block and a half. Got a couple options from there. I’ll let you look when you’re closer.” Erik nodded though anyone who could see him wouldn’t have picked up on the message and Kro was too far away to see the action. Once they were almost upon the road onto which they needed to turn, Erik nudged Ay ever so slightly and muttered ”turn.” After a half of a block Erik knew he needed to switch over to Kro’s view, but it would leave him completely open. ”Ay, I need to look through Kro’s eyes to plot our route. I can keep myself on a path while I’m doing it, but I can’t watch our surroundings at the same time. I need you and Lugh to keep an eye out for anything suspicious. I’ll tell you when I’m back.” In an instant he went from cautiously eyeing everything to staring blankly ahead as if the lights were on but no one was home in his head. That was probably something else he would need to explain once they were safe(r).

Dawn’s rosy fingers had barely begun to caress the horizon, yet Erik found himself already out and walking down the sidewalk. He was going to pick up another pack of smokes before heading in to work, and like hell he was going to spend money on a taxi, so traveling at godforsaken o’clock was his “best” option. One block remained before he reached the store, but there was something wrong. His danger sense was kicking in, but for the moment he couldn’t detect the source. ”Keep your eyes open, Kro. Something’s up.” Kro nodded and flew up into the air to get a better look. All of a sudden a car that had been parked on the side of the road came roaring closer and closer. Neither of them could tell exactly how fast it was going, but it was definitely over the twenty-five mile per hour speed limit. Erik was about to dart down an alley, but the car was upon him too fast. It swerved onto the sidewalk and smashed into him. The impact threw him up onto the hood and his body bounced into the windshield, spider web cracking it. The car’s momentum kept him bounce rolling over the side of the roof then finally crashing down onto the sidewalk. The car came to a screeching halt just a little further down the road, then backup lights flickered on. However, sirens wailed in the background and Erik wasn’t moving. The car sped away into the lightening gloom. Erik tried to run the events through in his mind, but his brain was spinning. Kro fluttered down in a huff of feathers. ”Erik! Are you alive? Can you move?" He doubted his fledgling could, not with a shard of femur puncturing through his skin, The biped was starting to lose color, which Kro knew had to be a bad sign, but the scrapes all over Erik's body couldn't cause that pallor could they? He didn't know what exactly was wrong, but he could sense a thick fog in Erik's mind and intense pain in his chest. "You need to get out of here.” Erik weakly nodded, though which question he was trying to answer would remain a mystery. Another few minutes passed as he managed to drag himself into the alley. He came to rest against a wall, no strength left to prop himself up or go further. Erik fished around in his pocket and pulled out his phone. He managed to unlock it before his vision blurred too much. ”Call Ay,” he instructed Kro. The bird gently pecked at the screen, eventually pulling up Ay’s contact info. As soon as the elf picked up the phone, Kro would shout ”Erik is really hurt! Alley on third street between Franklin and Monroe. Hurry! I need to keep talking to him, make sure he doesn’t fall asleep. Leaving call on. Yell if you need help.” Kro would turn his attention back to Erik, who seemed to be losing focus on his surroundings. ”Ay is on his way, Erik. He’ll be here soon. You need to be conscious when he gets here so you can show him where you need healing most. Even if you can’t talk, you need to keep interacting with me. Come on Erik, don’t fall asleep.” It was an uphill battle, but Erik was managing to remain conscious. For now.
