Fight Against Darkness

*max quickly climbed up onto a nearby roof and quietly started heading towards the two, continuing till they were in sight. he hid the best he could while still bein able to see them, following them  carefully*

(I am so sorry guys!  Summer is not my best posting time, and I promise I'll try to be better.)
 
Rachel stumbled in the slush, panting heavily.  She couldn't let him catch her.  Absolutely COULDN'T.  She refused to be an unwilling servant.
 
She ducked into an alleyway, trash littering the ground.  Glass lay broken on the ground or sat behind boards in the windows.  Beggars lay on the steps, curled into balls.  Rachel slowed.  This would be safer than the streets at least...

Jackal leaped down behind Rachel and glanced around. "So... out of curiousity, what was the snake forcing you to do?" he asked, pulling his jacket closer to him and offering her the blanket.

Jacob started another detection, stopping in his tracks as he focused on locating Rachel. Fortunately for the girl being chased, the same detection spell also allows her to know where Jacob is. For Guyrus, it was like Jacob stood still for a few moments before heading straight towards an alleyway...

[Cifero Windtail]

Jackal's ears pricked up. "Someone's coming..." He glanced at Rachel. "I take it someone put a tracking signal on you?" he sighed and drew the shamshir, keeping his injured arm nearby himself. "Well, I can only hope that this guy's not as powerful as Gyrus... I'm really in no condition to fight someone off..." He glanced at the hand holding the sword, which briefly glowed with a blue energy. He glanced back at Rachel and carefully handed her a piece of paper with his other hand. "If worse comes to worse, go to this address. A doctor lives there, he can help you." He glanced into the alleyway, gulping. "I really hope this guy's not as powerful as Gyrus... or worse, more powerful..."
 
(If this isn't ok, I'll change it.)

Rachel shook her head lightly, tugging Jackel toward an escape ladder.  "I'll explain when we're safe.  If you couldn't fight Gyrus uninjured though, you'd be dead by him and that dragon."
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gyrus tested the edge of his new knife, the one he'd taken.  It'd certainly been worth taking.  Cut the horse's hide beautifully.  "Where you goin'?I say we head 'em off and scare 'er to pieces.  That git won't be missed."

[Cifero Windtail]

Jackal nodded. "You're right... although technically speaking, I was injured when I fought him... that must've been how he managed to cheat in swordfighting, normally I can catch that kind of stuff." He glanced back at the alleyway as he followed Rachel. "Although I have a very bad feeling that we might not get the option of not fighting them..." He smiled. "Unless, of course, we can trick them."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Jacob turned to Gyrus and pointed at the roof. "Odds are there will be some form of fire escape that they'll use to get back to the roofs or to one of the rooms. If you want to head them off, be my guest..." He casually explained before going into the alleyway. He didn't even pay the homeless any attention as he hunted Rachel down, and would likely kill anyone in his way who he couldn't either scare or easily knock out.

*elizabeth started ghasping as the ice cold feeling started to cover her. it was a deep throbbing ake, one that started i nher bones and startted spreading like wildfire. Elizabeths limbs began to tremble and stiffen as her skin and fur began to cool to dangerous levels. Tabitha stoos there a wicked smile upon her face*
 
"you, child, shall never lay a hand upon, or raise any restiance agains me. or your punishment will be worse than death its self."
 
 

[Aldrea945]

Rachel lept up the escape, glancing discretely back at Jackel occasionally.  The tip of her tail brushed his nose lightly, ears flicked back as a cold wind battered their sides and swept through their clothes.  The top of the building loomed not a foot in front of her as she looked back at him.  "My hiding area's nearby.  I'll lead us there to talk," she said as she hopped to the roof.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gyrus cocked his head to the side, a manic grin adorning his face.  "I'll see what's in that house.  Bet it would be good to eat."
 
(*Laying on bed.* I need to be WAY less lazy...)

(It's fine. ^w^)


Jackal's nose twitched as Rachel's tail brushed his nose. He followed close behind her, stopping when she stopped.
He nodded at Rachel. "Alright. Lead the way."

[Aldrea945]

Rachel smiled, motioning him and Serpington toward a black widow's watch two doors down.  Shingles hung precariously on the roof, like the slightest wind would knock them off.  Boards covered the all windows but one, the glass broken out to allow entry.  "The house is abandoned, so it's safe to hide in.  Nothing but rats and possible ghosts to bother us."

[Cifero Windtail]

Jackal grinned in a silly way. "Well, I ain't afraid of no ghosts, so it'll be just fine."

"I will remove that after I have finished damage control. be a dear and stay here."
