[center]After finding the small shop, Kieran stepped out after speaking with the elder woman who owned the shop. She'd been both surprised and happy to see him, he rarely visited and he gladly accepted her words. He'd received his letter and had opened it right there, his stomach dropping at what met his gaze. Pure will had him refraining from ripping the parchment into pieces, his jaw clenched hard enough to grind his teeth. 

They were moving again. The damn bastards had been spotted a few towns over, and seemed to be coming to this town. Somehow managing to pass the letter off for unwanted business information, he left after a few more minutes of chatter. He wondered if the information had changed, they were humans but were persistent and quick. The cool air outside was a relief, now he could go home and sleep-

The sudden stinging pain that uncurled in his chest had Kieran staggering, a hiss escaping his lips. His eyes scanned the now empty streets, I'll to find no threat within sight. Fingers moving to abdomen, he pulled the arrow that found there, his posture rigid and on alert. He had to keep calm or Ryanair would seek him out, the was the last thing he needed. 

He was able to see the arrow that was aimed at him, Kieran jumped and was glad he'd made it away from the shop. He turned to take off, only to duck and kick a leg out. The figure before him smoothly dodged it and lashed out with something that glittered off the moonlight.  This one wasn't alone it seemed, the one holding the crossbow was behind them somewhere. 

A hiss escaped his lips as he dodged another areow, his reflexes helping him dodge what he now knew was a dagger. His abdomen ached as he jumped back and crouched, his now glowing eyes scanning the darkness. 

This was a problem. 

“It's time to come quietly, Kieran. We won't attack you if you agree to come without a fight.” A smooth voice pierced the air and had Kieran spinning to find the owner. A familiar figure came into view and with it rage filled him entirely, an enraged hiss left his lips in answer. This was the man that had found him, that had chased him and drawn him near insanity. 

Like hell was he going to be captured again.
