Sora usually weighed next to nothing in his arms. Today, he was just too weak. He hadn't been running exactly fast before, now he'd slowed down even more. His whole body felt like lead and each step took more effort then usual. In time even the world around him stopped blurring and was growing more focused as he slowed down. "Geeze Sora, I think you need to loose some weight." He huffed, half joking and hating the way she was so quiet. On a normal day she'd eat his head off for that comment.
Slowing to a stop Ty had to fight the urge to fall over. His lungs were actually burning and his legs hurt, he felt almost human. If it wasn't for the fact that his fangs were actually throbbing in his mouth and he'd suddenly developed a very distinct thirst he might have actually thought something had happened and his vampire side was running around causing havoc somewhere else.
Pushing forward, he ignored the very nice sound of Sora's soft heartbeat, and the rush of blood moving through her veins. He wasn't about to drink from her, not now. Not like this. Plus witch blood wasn't always very tasty or nutritious.
Gulping down his thirst he tried for another burst of speed.
He got about ten feet before he had to slow down again, his legs burning more than he'd ever thought possible. Groaning in pain he slowed then fell back into a sitting position, his arms tightening around Sora so she wouldn't fall. "Well this is just fantastic..."
They were in a part of KSML close to the high school, he couldn't exactly tell because the buildings looked like s**t and there were bodies everywhere. He tried not to look at any of them because well...those were his friends, and he really didn't need those images rolling around in his head forever. Sora's head was resting against his chest and he could feel her blood soaking into his shirt from that wound she'd had earlier. He wasn't really sure if it would kill her but all that blood loss wasn't good for anyone.
"Okay, well...I think this as far as I can go..." or maybe not.
Turning his head from side to side, to make sure no one was watching Ty shifted Sora's body so it lay tighter against his chest. Her head rested on his shoulder and his arms wrapped tightly around her back and waist, holding her to him. Silently he waited, reaching out with his mind and coaxing that coiling darkness to come shuddering back from the depths of his mind.
As a vampire he could travel in the dark. All vampires could, it was how they reached the Vampire Realm. This wasn't the same though. This was calling the darkness to him and curling it around him like a blanket. It was accepting a part of himself he didn't really like and letting it drape itself over him and settle into his skin. Darkness was as cold as ice, maybe even colder and they both shivered as it swallowed them. Streams of it seeped into his eyes, drowning them. The rest of it seemed to have developed claws that sank into his skin and held onto his arms He had just enough energy to direct it, telling it to find the light and hoping that it ended up wherever his sister had gone.
The travel took less then two seconds. The darkness withdrew, from around them like an elastic snapping back into place. Only Ty could still feel it crawling around in his brain like some giant bug.
The area they were in was closer to the forest. The sounds of fighting was loud and annoying ringing through the air and hurting his ears.
Something came at him, but at the last minute his sister appeared between him and the charging vampire looking even worse then before. The crazed feldgeling slammed it's fist through her stomach, his blood claws actually coming out through her back.
"Kari!"
He moved to do something, but she was already grabbing the vampire's arm and pulling it out, her other hand slamming into its neck, claws tearing its head from its shoulders in a spray of blood.
"s**t."
She tossed the body aside and got into a battle stance, a hiss slipping through her teeth. "Find a body and drink Ty, there are too many of them. I need help." As she spoke two more came at her, one of them managing to stab a knife in her back.
"Thanks, I wanted that back." She growled reaching back and pulling it free, somewhat messily. Spinning the blade in her hand she deflected a couple of punches before slicing through the neck of one. For the second she caught his face in her hand, her palm pressed against his skin. A light seemed to shoot out of the vampire, then his body went up in flames, he screamed like a banshee the whole time, it kind of made Ty uncomfortable to watch.
"Where's Water, Sora needs it?" He yelled at his sister, trying to be over heard over the sounds of punching, kicking, and screaming.
"She's behind the first line of trees. Be careful...she's not in a good mood."
