[IC] The Never Ending Hunt

[CallaLily180]

Zabrina nodded and sighed, she approached the bear and made a noise before climbing onto its back slowly. The bear allowed her to but looked back at her uncertainly before starting to head off. Zabrina gulped and gripped the bears fur as to not fall off if it started to go wild.

[MarshiestMallow]

Niesha fell back to walk with Damien once more, petting Leaf's head. She was still smiling, and letting out her emotional senses again, she frowned.

"I think we should start going fast"

[CallaLily180]

Zabrina looked back at them and frowned. "Why, is something wrong?"

[Dmessenger]

Alex said "I think she has realized that we are being followed."

[Wraithblade6]

Damien turned to the demon. "What?!" He exclaimed. "Turning my weapon on my own kind?" He seemed distressed by this, but looked to be giving it some sincere thought. "I don't know... I would hate to do that."

[Saarebas]

Hircine gave a slight nod as the hunter spoke. "That eagle was belonged to someone. And I doubt said owner is friendly."

[Wraithblade6]

Damien looked downward, then at Niesha. "If we can't negotiate, and we can't escape, then I don't know what might happen."

[MarshiestMallow]

"Empath, remember" Niesha said, giving him a reassuring smile, "I'll see what I can do" she didn't want to kill, but she would if she had to

[CallaLily180]

Zabrina and her new bear friend stopped, she made another few strange noises and got off the bear who growled viciously and stood in front of her. Micheal and John also appeared but her feathers were still mostly white. Zabrina smiled at them and they smiled back, she knew they would disappear when the battle was over but for now she had them back.

[Wraithblade6]

The human hunter smiled in response. "Excellent. I suppose if you could bring two demons, two humans, and two very different angels together, then a pack of hunters shouldn't be so bad."

[MarshiestMallow]

"I don't know about bringing us together, but I will do my best" Niesha said, moving to the back of the group, she let her senses seek each hunter following them, and sent out emotions of trust, kindness and friendliness

[Dmessenger]

The lead hunter told the party to stop. "can you feel that." He said as he looked at the other hunters. The other hunters nodded and one of them said "this feels like magic." The lead hunter smiled and said "so they think they can put us under a spell, that would explain how they got my brother to join them." The lead hunter then said "time to use our counter measures." All the hunters then pulled out these weird amulets and put them on, now they don't feel the emtions being sent out by Niesha. The lead hunter then signaled them to keep moving forward.

Alex then said "We are wasting our time trying to be friendly with them, we should pick up our pace." Alex didn't have a problem with raising a blade to another human, but he would rather not raise his sword against someone who was once a close friend to him. "I hope my gut is wrong or we are in trouble" Alex muttered.

From far off in the distance, looking toward Zabrina, a huntress waited. Her red scarf flowed in the wind as she raised her blessed arrow and looked down the sights.

A Miss 'Zabrina' within them.

The arrow drew back and creaked for a moment, before firing. Aimed at the heart of he angel.

[CallaLily180]

Zabrina wasn't watching the arrow but Micheal suddenly took his bow and made a swing at it, it broke into splinters and Micheal and John both stepped in front of her waiting. Zabrina's eyes went wide and she made another series of noises, her bear stood at her side and roared again. Micheal cleared his throat. "Who it out there?" He yelled.

[MarshiestMallow]

Niesha wove light, and the wall formed protectively like a shield around them all. She couldn't keep that up for long., her blade forming in hand quickly. Leaf growled, and she looked about

[ReaptheMusic]

A smile formed on the shadows lips.

How cute. She had body Guards.

The assassin ran silently among the tree branches, unseen, unheard. The hood pulled down over her eyes revealed little of her face. She waited until she was nearly over the Angel. Then, pulling her glowing blessed blades from her hood, she leaped. Her arms extending to her side gracefully as she plummeted towards the ground, her short swords ready to stab into the Angels spine, and free her from the burden of her wings.

She didn't see the shield and wound up falling flat against it like a bird hitting a window.

Ungracefully she slid down it.

[CallaLily180]

Micheal laughed slightly and the bear turned towards the assassin with a challenging roar as it stood up quickly. John prepared his great sword and Madelena her short. Micheal had his bow out and ready all facing the girl on the ground.

[MarshiestMallow]

Niesha smiled bitterly. "Who are you, and why are you attacking us?" She demanded, sword at the ready, ready at an instant to let her wall down

[Dmessenger]

Alex pulled out his two handed sword and prepared to fight.

The lead hunter stopped his men again, when he heard the commotion. The lead hunter said "let's wait and see what happens"

[HarukoGina]

Eachelle sighed slightly, she was hoping that the way she was taking them all would stop these types of confrontations from happening. Not many people used these woods, She looked around her group, then at the assassin in front of them. 'I suppose I should've anticipated some confrontations.' She patted Petunia's side gently as she moved uneasily, Eachelle's touch quickly calmed her.
