Zabrina stood firm, a pack of wolves didn't mean much to her. She looked around and waited for another hunter to come out of the woods and try to kill her, Micheal and John held ground, as spirits things like wolves didn't frighten them anymore. Zabrina waited for the wolves or the hunters to come, she saw a wolf on the hill and figured that was the cause of this. She didn't shoot at it yet, instead she waited. She decided to cast a spell of protection on the lady with the horse and lowered her bow to cast it. Micheal and John walked closer together while she did so she was covered. They both yelled "Come out cowards!" .

Eachellle put a hand on the younger girls shoulder and smiled at her as she too brought out her dual blades. 'I will not run, not again...I can sense that you are an angel too, we fight together and stay strong. If I am to leave then I will take you and your spirits with me.' Petunia groaned happily as she shook her mane, Eachelle smiled back at her horse before looking out to where the hunters were hiding.
'If you let us free then we will not harm you! We only want to live a peaceful life, I'm sure the both of you want the same thing!' Her voice was commanding yet still had a soft and gentle touch to it.

[CallaLily180]

Zabrina unconsciously shrugged off her hand and sighed, why do all angels have to be sweet? She went into full angel form and everything around her was in a different perspective, she raised her bow towards the man in the bushes and so did Micheal. They both shot and Micheal's arrow turned into a real one in midair. The arrows landed on both sides of the hunter as a warning. "Go. Now." Her voice was not gentle, it belonged to a different person. It was rough and powerful, but it was also beautiful in a strange way. Her eyes were glowing in a mixture of green and white.

Alex muttered to himself "I guess I was wrong they are all arrogant. and believe that we all are nothing but barbarians"
Alex then whistled and Brutus came to him and howled again. The pack then returned to their spot and Alex and Brutus both ran back to the village.

Hircine watched as the angle shifted her form and launched a threat to the hunters in the form of a warning shot. He gave a slight shake of his head before looking to the angle. "They will return in force now, you do realize this." He said a monotone voice.

[CallaLily180]

Zabrina fell to the ground and shook her head, her mind was swimming and she went back to human form. "I-I'm sorry....that has never happened to me." In all of her time she had never done something so irrational, she looked back at the man and tears fell from her face. "I'm sorry." She was being a girl, like she was supposed to. She was finally caving.

[HarukoGina]

Eachelle watched as the girl began to cry and looked to the man in the bushes. 'She can't help it...she is growing up, it's difficult enough to grow up as an angel with all of our strict rules, but to grow up with the world in turmoil and a hunter around every corner trying to kill us off? You must understand that too...I can sense that you are not human after all.' She placed her hand back on the young girls shoulder. 'My name is Eachelle, daughter of Helorion and Aitra. What is your name young one?' Her voice was gentle as she awaited her answer patiently.

[Mtntopview]

"Oh my, this has gotten quite interesting" he said joyfully, his unnatural smile went from ear to ear, with his teeth shining white. He was now sittin on a tree branch, swinging his feet.

Zabrina started to sob but cut herself off, she wasn't going to break down. She couldn't break down, she looked up at Eachelle and nodded slightly. "I'm Zabrina. Its nice to meet you." Micheal and John looked at each other before going over to Zabrina and picking her up, their bodies turned solid and they supported her. "She usually isn't this fragile, I don't know what has happened." John said gently, he looked at the cat demon and glared. Zabrina shook her head and cleared her throat, she wiped away her tears and stood pridefully in front of them.

[Saarebas]

Hircine only offered the girl a slight shake of his head. "Apologizes are worth very little in this world." He said in his monotone voice to the angle crying before looking to the other. "In times of war one does not have time to grow, it is best she learn now." He said as he stepped out of the bushes. "It is best we leave now before they mass a larger group." He said then looked up to the man in the tree. "You should leave as well demon."

"I shall take your advice, I do prefer to avoid conflict, after all" he said, still in his cheerful mood. Humans had never been much to a threat to him, hardly anything was.

[Wraithblade6]

The two arrows stuck into trees on either side of Damien's shoulders, causing his heart to jump into his throat. Damien stood up and drew his bow, aiming at whatever being was closest to him, probably Zabrina, since she was all angelled-out.

His heart raced. He was fearful, and very focused. he knew he had been seen, and shot at, and for whatever reason, had not simply been killed, but he wasn't sure what his next move would be. Alex started off for home, but Damien didn't see turning his back as an option. He stood up, arrow ready to fire, but he didn't let it go. Something made him hesitate to harm the angels. He swallowed, and shouted back, "I will not let fear rule me!" He looked down the shaft of his arrow at each of them, not sure who to target. perhaps killing one of them would help his kin survive. If this were some kind of mass attack on the village about to happen, perhaps he could slow them down and give Alex enough time to give warning to the villagers.

A second or so later, Damien released his arrow at Hircine, who looked the most menacing. "Die demon!" He immediately reached for another arrow as the first one went off, trying to do as much damage as he could before he had to either dodge or die.

[Saarebas]

Hircine still had his gaze upon the demon in the tree when he heard the hunter who had yet you leave step out of the bushes. He gave a half glance to the man who he was about to go back to ignoring, but the hunter sent a arrow towards him. Hircine made no attempt to dodge the arrow but instead allowed it to continue it's course towards him. When it seemed it would reach it's mark a wall of fire erupted from the ground and burnt the arrow to a crisp before it could reach Hircine. "That was a mistake. I give you this one olive branch only and advice you to be on your way hunter." He said in the same calm tone as before.

[CallaLily180]

Micheal jumped in front of Hircine and the arrow hit his chest, as soon as it made contact he went into spirit form and the arrow dropped to the ground. John did the same blocking arrows and protecting everyone they could. Micheal made his hands go solid as he took an arrow and notched it into his own bow. He quickly fired it and stood in front of Zabrina. Zabrina put a circular shield around them and watched as Micheal shot his arrows outside of it.

[Mtntopview]

Seeing arrows fly everywhere was quite a exhilarating thing. He watched as they flew by, at one point he had to dodge one, by moving his head left a bit. He didn't say a thing, just kept continuing his same, wide smile.

[Wraithblade6]

Damien had let the second arrow go by the time he realized his first had been incinerated in mid air. He dove to the side and rolled up to avoid Michael's aim as he was thinking fast. "I'm no match for that guy." He thought as he came up onto his feet. His next thought was that the demon with the fire magic was going to wreak hell on Earth if left unchecked, and there was probably nothing he could do about it. A thick tree trunk served as barely enough cover for him as he brought out another arrow. Curiosity irked him, so he called from behind the tree, "Go back to Hell, demon! You are the one who's out of place." Damien highly doubted that these outlanders would let him live, but it might be worth trying to get some information out of them.

[MarshiestMallow]

Niesha, quite in the trees, watched the scene unfold. She was wary of demons, and wary of other angels as well. Who knew if another angel was a spy sent from her father? Leaf quivered beside her. The dog, the smallest of the litter, had grown quite large, already he was the height of her waist. His shaggy brown and white fur had to be cared for, and cut around his eyes. He too watched the scene, a low growl escaping him when the wolf howled.

Demon's, Angel's, and Hunters. Oh my. Niesha shivered, watched the arrows flight, followed it to where the hunter was. She knew if the Hunter didn't stop, he would get himself killed. Unable to watch a human be murdered in front of her, Niesha formed the words for a spell which would protect him, even as she made her way to where he was.

Leaf followed along side of her. Niesha immediately let out her emotional sense, hoping to convey trust and sincerity to the hunter. It had worked before on other hunters.

"You should leave" She said when she approached him, her voice soft, "I will stop my brethren and the demons from getting you"

[Dmessenger]

Alex and Brutus were running when he heard Damien shout. "crap that moron." Alex then blew a hunting horn he had which alerted the hunting group in the town. Alex then turned around and ran back to help Damien dodging arrows he got to a tree next to Damien. "you idiot why did you attack them" Alex said as he moved to avoid more arrows.
Alex said "the hunting party will be here soon"

Alex then noticed Niesha and said "no offense but I don't think they are in the mood to talk anymore. though in our defense they did fire first"

[Saarebas]

Hircine simply shook his head as he incinerated another batch of arrows that were shot towards him. "All have the rights to freedom, be thee blessed or damned." He said in his cold tone. He was about to allow the hunter to leave until he picked up the sound of a very familiar horn caught his ear. "Mortals calls me damned then sends their horde to burn the olive branch that was offered to them. It is these acts that show the true monsters are." He said in his cold turn before turning to the others. "Man has set their warriors upon us. It will end with blood shed if we stay. We should move ourselves to other dark corners."

[Wraithblade6]

"Leave?" Damien gasped when he saw Niesha. He felt friendship and trust from her, and was inclined to do as she said, but for the moment, he leaned against the tree, watching her. "But there's so many of you... I have to vanquish you from our world, or you'll kill us..." As the human with the long black hair spoke to her, she could sense there was something more to him. He had a strange aura for a human. Damien quickly turned his head toward Alex who promptly joined them. "Alex, I'm sorry. I couldn't leave. There's something going on that I need to find out. There are so many of them here at once!" He looked back to Niesha. "Who are you, and why are you all here?"

[MarshiestMallow]

"I am not with them" Niesha said, frowning slightly, surely she was imagining the strange aura around him. "I am Niesha, and I will not harm you, nor will I harm my brethren, but I will hunt the demon. I do not know why they are here, but I will find out" She said, then because it was frustrating her, she said, "What are you?"

Leaf lay down at her feet, yet even then, he reached her knees. He watched the two men, even as she watched the others behind her. He snorted, and looked up at Niesha, as if to say you don't go asking people what they are.

She rolled her eyes at the dog, said, "Your aura is strange for a human. I am therefore forced to conclude that you are not a human. Do not worry, or fear. I will not harm you, as I have said"
