Escape

[Shenzii]

Rowan walked past Vamp and out to the streets. The sun beat down heavily as she sat on the curb. She toyed with the gauze wrapped around her small body. "It's strange not looking at fur," she said analyzing her arms. She stood when she heard the explosion. "What the hell!" She ran, forgetting Orin's orders. Blood began to seep onto the gauze. Damn it.. There better be someone still alive for all of this... She ran and saw Vamp, but she stood distant. His scent gave off that of a killer. She stopped and saw more of 'Them'. "Oh sh... " Her words faded as she ran back to the shelter. Her wounds re-opening. "Oh he's going to kill me..." Rowan said running with all her might. "Orin!" She shouted.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Orin saw Rowan run off, and annoyed that she still is running around with all of those wounds, he went out about two minutes after she ran away, partially expecting her to have fallen from the re-opened wounds. But when he went up, he saw Rowan running back, with 'them' quickly following behind. "What about a whole hour do you not understand?!" He made sure the dragoness was inside the shelter before taking more steps forward. As soon as Rowan got within arms reach, he pushed her inside, not nearly enough force to push her down as he closed the door behind him. He unsheated his wings and made a rather intimidating roar, stopping the advance of 'them', while some of 'them' ran away in fear of their lives.

Rowan collapsed to the pain. "Damn it!" She shouted. She saw Sira. "Oh.. I'm sorry..." She stood and saw that her shoulder was fine but her chest was bleeding again. "Ehh... that'll stop soon." She said removing some of the gauze to analyze it. She re-applied the gauze and sat on the bed. "I can't sit still for an hour... he should know that." She said angrily.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

"He just doesn't want you to pick a fight or go into a full sprint for an hour, thats probably why he wants us in a place that can't be easily reached" Sira spoke up, trying to think of Orin's reason for being angry at Rowan. Orin was still outside, fighting a rather unique mix of trackers, they all vary in size and fur color, but they are all after him for the same reason: Hes behind the death of quite a few fire walkers, and managed to match with an assassin, killing it when it finnaly started to tire out. Orin was annoyed at their tenacity, and did a sweep kick, sending a few away while he opened the shelter door and slammed it shut when he got inside.

"Please don't do that again...if you're honestly that bored...you can help me fix some weapons I salvaged from nearby gun-shops" He locked the door and pointed towards a crate filled with guns, but some of them had dented parts, while others desprately needed cleaning.

Rowans blue eyes shined. Anger flooded her loud sigh. She sat on the bed and played with her hair. She looked at the ground, refusing to make eye contact with Orin.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Orin actually felt like an idiot for the first time since the 'wave' when he saw Rowan sit on the bed. "Look, is an hour all that much....theres twenty-four of them in the whole day...or would you rather be a complete human, and have to wait from two days to two weeks for your injuries to heal?" He sat down next to he and kissed her on the cheek. "You can still kick and punch, just not to an extreme...or I can take all these bandages off and let you go wild and see how long you last" His tone went from being caring to monotone when he thought he wasn't getting anywhere with being his regular self.

[Shenzii]

Rowan looked at him. "I miss the way things were... I have never been able to hold back. When something needed to be done, I did it. No questions asked. Injured or not... I put my all into everything I did. Extreme is the only way I know." She took his large hand in her small hand and held it tightly. Her eyes saddened again. "I thought I lost you... It's bad enough Tristan died..." She said softly. She turned and faced him. "You should know that I can't relax," She said smiling half heartily.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

"when I felt the changes of the 'wave', I actually felt like this was supposed to happen, and that I wanted this...for awhile I lived in a somewhat blissful ignorance of my past and future, then I met Sira...and remembered you, now I just wish things were like before, but I would actually be able to hold a good job" He lied down on the bed, and tugged Rowan down on top of him, not causing any wounds or sitches to open. "I know you can't relax...but its been awhile since you actually had sleep, right?"

[Shenzii]

Rowan yawned and nuzzled Orin. "It's been a while since I've layed with you as well." She shut her eyes and smiled

[Chrono Blackwyng]

He shifted his weight so that she would be lying her head on his neck and the rest is just paralell. "If you didn't have all those wounds, we could do more than just sleep...but I doubt you'll want to even if  you are physically unharmed"

[Shenzii]

Rowan sat up and smiled at him. "If I was well, I'd be doing just as I am, and maybe a little more." She yawned and fell asleep.

Leaning against a wall nearby I watched as the two slept and began to think of my last love victoria. Man I missed her, If only I could be with her one more time it would be the best experience in a long time. Since I couldn't sleep I decided to stay on watch and keep everyone safe that night.As I watched the sun down I began to recollect the experiences of my life and what it was that I was fighting for.....Actually I couldn't think of anything worth fighting for. Maybe I should just go out and die, at least I would finally be reunited with my dead parents...No, I musn't think of such thoughts. I began to think of my previous life and how I had a plan to go to college and become a physisist,but that dream was smashed to pieces when 'them' came.
I began to feel very bored and decided to get some exercise in. I took a run through the city sticking to the shadows away from 'them'. After some time of running I saw A ladder and did some chin ups, and pull ups; then I did sit ups and pushups til I was too tired to too many more. After those exercises I climbe up the ladder and got up on the top of the building. As I looked out I beheld the darkness of the city. High in the sky I saw the moon bright as could be. It was so beutiful the moon, I couldn't take my eyes of it it. My body lit up and I howled a deep and loud howl to the moon. After the echoes of it faded I got off of the roof and ran back to the others to continue watching over them.

Rowan twitched as her dreams played. Her brother's death replayed in her mind. Suddenly the dream flashed and she was back at the park. The demon lunged at her and bit a chunk out of her. She winced awake and sat up. She looked at Orin and relaxed a bit.

RK stands his ground in front of the Fire Walkers.  The approach him slowly, but with death in their eyes.  "Bring it... pussy cat!" RK says smiling at the Fire Walkers.  They begin to circle him, RK calmly stands motionless with two knives in hand.  One is a meat cleaver, the other a normal blade, both well sharpened.  A fire walker behind him, stops moving, this is what RK had waited for.  The Cat jumps at him, and with a swift motion he dodges, his cloak waving in the motion, and the Kitchen knife was brought up into the creature.  The cat's momentum plunged the blade and deep, and as it continued the blade cut the cat open from neck to tail.  The cat lands on it's feet, then falls over dead, it's organs spilling from it's body.  "And now you..." RK smiles at the last Fire Walker.  It snarls at him as it circles him, but this time RK mirrors the cat's movements, and circles opposite of it.  "Come on, jump at me, I want you to meat my good friend meat cleaver.  The cat stares at him, and stops.  It doesn't jump, in fact it seems to look behind RK.  Sniffing the air, he could smell nothing, but the beast seemed fixed on something in the distance.  RK not sure of what it was looking at, quickly looked backwards.  The cat used this moment to tackle RK to the ground.  It brought it's claw up quickly, and as it began to swipe down, RK says, "Axe to the face."  Pulling an Axe out of his cloak he began to swing it just as the walker brought it's claw down.  The fire walker fell to the side of RK.  "Can't touch this,"  RK says sniffing the air, he could smell blood, Rowan's blood.  "Oh good, a bread crumb trail to lead every freaking one of Them to my new group.  Son of a biscuit."  RK followed the scent making sure not to lose it.  Eventually he sees the group in a circle around Rowan, but a sniff of the air reassures RK that she is in fact still living.  Walking towards them he says, "Both Fire Walkers are currently dead in every sense of the word, is there any other way I may be of assistance,  Sir Vamp, Sir Moon, or Sir Orin?"

((That was a long post))

Orin was still asleep, his wings wrapped around Rowan, probably a side-effect of a pleasant dream.
