[IC] Playing For Blood [16+]

[Miraboreasu]

The slashing rain was a blessing for John and his associates-- it would wash away their footprints and mask their scents. They had a very specific rendezvous point, where he would wait. He could see it now: a cave, hidden by trees and bushes. He climbed into a tree, waiting to see if they would come... and if they'd been followed.

Micah selected the ammunition he would use. The bullets were mostly nonlethals, such as rubber and tranquilizer rounds... but he did want to bring lethals. Nobody would suspect; after all, what was the life of a turned vampire compared to a born vampire?

Alyssa looked up at the rain pouring down from the sky. She turned towards the others and began to walk, to follow, John. She was wearing short black pants a white tanktop, black jacket and combat boots. Alyssa climbed up the tree as well looking at John. "What are we doing again?" She asked a little confused and such.

Azure moved as silently through the forest as she could, ears on high alert. She paused ever few feet, trying to determine if she was being followed. When she was assured she was not being trailed she continued on her journey. She could faintly detect John's scent through the rain coming down and the blind girl used it like a beacon leading her to their rendezvous point. She stepped from the tress, his scent getting stronger. She heard Alyssa's voice come from above her and she glanced up, sightless eyes glowing slightly in the dark.

Rain fell as Sai'tioula walked through some to get to a place that she was told to meet some others. She was taking a risk walking to a isolated place, though knowing her luck, there's always someone following her. Looking up from staring at the ground, she noticed that there was an entrance behind some trees and bushes. "Hello? Is anyone there, or something...?" Stepping into the cave she looked around to see if anyone arrived before her.

[Miraboreasu]

"Heading towards freedom," John said over the rain. He drew his pistol, checking the ammunition. "Go inside and wait for the others. I don't want to leave without anyone, but I will to protect the majority of the fugitives."

Luther sauntered over to the main armory, taking a glance at what Micah was getting. Though he didn't know much about the man himself, he could respect the number of kills he had. He had always preferred to kill them - Both options meant death, but one was quicker. It was easier on himself, too. However, he did take a few tranquilizer rounds, so he wouldn't return empty handed.

[XxLyraxX]

Azure heard John's voice and nodded at what he told them. She took a few hesitant steps forward, hand out-stretched to feel for the cave. After a few minutes of fumbling she eventually she located the entrance and slipped inside, the air turning damp and musky. She kept a hand on the wall as she inched inside, sightless eyes staring forward.

[paigesweetheart]

Alyssa rolled her eyes at John. "Okay. You act like you are our bodyguard. I can take care of myself, thank you very much." She smirked now jumping and landingg on the ground. Alyssa would walk towards the others, inside. "Kay. We should stay and wait for everyone else."

[Miraboreasu]

Annoyed, John chambered a round into his weapon. "Didn't see you with a weapon," he growled.

Micah holstered his handguns and drew a knife, examining the blade. Where were the other hunters?

[Zaitherin]

'Someone here already? Might as well see who they are.' Sai'tioula thought when she heard people talking near the entrance. As she was waiting for others to come she decided to explore the cave some, needing to make sure that she didn't become bored with the waiting. Tracing her scar as she walked back, she absently kicked at some lose rocks while she was lost in her thoughts, which made her brood some.

Getting prepared, Luther stopped for a moment, looking at the gun in his hands. It really was a beautiful thing, and it was weird to think that humans invented them. "...Do we have an estimate?" While they rarely did, it was always nice to know.

[ribcageroses]

Thia felt sick. Well, what was new, she always felt sick. The unease of what she was doing hadn't settled very well with lunch or breakfast. But she knew she had to eat it, she needed energy. It'd been what felt like centuries since she'd tried to escape or fight back. The only thing holding her back was the will to live. Needless to say, she was willing to risk living, to get away.
The rain poured down her back, stringing down her hair. She pushed the strands from her face as they suctioned her cheeks. Was she even headed in the right direction? She was totally unsure.
She was running, and her feet squished as the ground puddled.
Up ahead were bushes, trees, the small clear of a field disappeared. Being as observant as she was, she saw the crouched one in the tree. In his hands, a weapon. Well, maybe this was it.

Approaching him, she gave a silent and small wave, then turned on her heel to enter the cave and join the others. She gave them the same, remaining quiet.

[Miraboreasu]

"Twenty at most," Micah said. "Take as many alive as possible to publicly execute."

---

John stopped, drawing his sword. Something seemed wrong.

[Zaitherin]

Sai'tioula stopped when she noticed that one of them drew a sword. She raised her hands to show that she didn't have any weapons. "The last time I checked, I wasn't here to hurt anyone. If I was, would I still be hiding or not?" She growled when she was still irritated about what she was thinking of.

[paigesweetheart]

Alyssa saw the others walking into the cave. "Alright, we just need to figure out what the hell we are going to do." she said and thought about John. As she walked towards him. "John, what the hell is going on? Is everything okay?" she said seeing that he was drawing his sword. "Gimme one of you're weapon."

[Miraboreasu]

"One of us was followed," John whispered. He handed Alyssa his pistol before sprinting into the rain. A gunshot rang out, and John felt a bullet tear through his shoulder. It was small-caliber, perhaps nine millimeter. It could fire faster, but lacked the stopping power of .45 ACP.

John saw their attacker, going in for the kill.

[Zaitherin]

Sai'tioula crouched down when she heard the gunshot, and looked around to see where it came from. "It's like the day I was captured. There's no way that is going to happen again." She growled while she slowly moved closer to the entrance, but not close enough to where she would get shot at. "I swear nobody followed me."

[KiraTheRogue]

Josie jmped down from her hiding place and pushed John behind a rock. "Sorry for the wait, I needed to see everything before I showed myself. " She said. She grabbed her magnum and machete. She walked out into the rain and a bullethit her in the leg. She waddled back into the cave and fired five of her six bullets towards the area where she was shot.

[Miraboreasu]

That distraction was all John needed. With precise brutality he cleaved the attacker's head off. He was disgusted. That he d had to do that? God, no! He killed for a living. What irked him was that they sent a Hunter with such little skill.

[KiraTheRogue]

"John, are you alright?" Josie asked as she limped over to him. Josie looked up to John as a leader, and a big brother.
