They caught up to Seculus and Anndrea. Racheal immediately spotted the blood on Anndrea's neck. "Oh so you thought you could fool us, huh? Well say your prayers because you're going to be in a watery grave." She put her gun away and withdrew a knife. Raphael did the same.

Oh thank God, they weren't going to try and shoot us again. This wasn't much better, though. Mentally, though, I did give a silent prayer that we'd survive this. I'm not sure if anyone heard me, but it was a slight comfort. "I believe you have the roles reversed."

"No, my doll and i have been trained to do this. so no. You will be the ones to die." Raphael moved beside Rachael.

If anything, Athena herself couldn't help them. They were on their own. Anndrea moved first, aiming the knife on Rachael.

🌀

That left me the vampire. Well, shit. I charged towards him, grabbing both his wrists, and kneed him in the gut. I was probably dead for that, but at least he couldn't stab me right now.

2015-06-13 03:17:00

●

Raphael let out a grunt of pain whilst trying to shove him off. God dammit! Get off!

Rachael caught grabbed her wrist, forcing the knife out of Anndrea's hand. Fuck. Shit. Anndrea stepped on her foot in retaliation, letting Rachael cry out in pain.

🌀

I kept my grip on his wrists and tried to twist them behind him as I repeated the knee attack. It seemed fairly effective the last time, after all.

2015-06-13 03:24:07

●

Raphael somehow managed to get one hand free, and punched Seculus in the stomach.

She sparked Rachael's anger even more now, causing Racheal to grip the knife in her hand tightly. She aimed and pulled back.

Then stabbed Anndrea in the stomach. Hard.

🌀

The breath was knocked out of me and I released his other hand, taking a step backwards and coughing, doubled over, to get air back into my lungs. My rib was hurting again. While we were at a relative distance I looked up to see how Anndrea was faring--

--just as she was stabbed. Ah. AH. ANNDREA?! I couldn't get enough breath to even shout!

2015-06-13 03:34:56

●

Anndrea looked over. Fuck, Seculus was staring right at her. She pressed her hand to her wound, stumbling back. "It's okay, i'm okay-"

That's when she miscalculated how close the was to the edge, and fell off the side.

2015-06-13 03:37:32

🌀

OH MY GOD ANNDREA! I took a gasping breath, sprinted over to the edge of the bridge, and without another thought or consideration, leapt off after her.

In the air he sped up, and being slightly heavier, caught up to her quickly. He wrapped his arms around her bleeding form, hugging her tight to his chest as they shot downward.

●

They hid the water. Anndrea spaced out. Her eyes and expression becoming blank.

A woman emerged from her hut, the sun as high as her spirits. She moved over to a small bowl of smashed red berries, painting her face with her left hand as she has always done before. "Anaea." A woman called, some desperation filled her voice. "Γρήγορα! Παρακαλώ!"

"Ορμώ για κανέναν, και πολεμιστές μου πρέπει να ξέρετε για την καταπολέμηση της χωρίς εμένα." ( supposed to say "I rush for no one, my warriors must learn to fight without me.")

She wiped the excess paint off her hand, and grabbed the bow that rested outside her hut. With swiftness, she ran, hearing the screams of men as she moved into the forest. Yes, they were under attack.

She stopped at a river, where she noticed a smaller looking gentleman. She grimaced at his figured, as the sight of men almost made her vomit. She readied her arrow, and....

He shot up quickly and grabbed his own bow and arrow, locking one into place and shooting her in the shoulder.

The force caused her to stumble back, making her fall into the water. The current was swift, and dragged her under. She struggled to stay a float, and a few times managed to get her head out of the water for air, but alas, not even a woman as powerful as her could escape death. Her muscles grew weak, and her legs eventually gave out. She struggled no more, and sunk into the river. Death awaiting her like an old friend.

🌀

The moment they hit the water, his vision went dark. They remained afloat, however, held on the current by white feathers spread behind Seculus's back. Feathers attached to wings. Wings attached to his shoulders. Shoulders and arms wrapped around the bleeding, empty-faced girl with tears and water streaming down her face. His brown and blonde hair spread around his head like a stained halo, completing the broken, angelic image.

2015-06-13 04:10:16

●

Once she regained some sort of consciousness, she started to struggle in his grip. Oh gods. Oh gods. Where was she! Water. Oh gods, she couldn't swim.

2015-06-13 04:14:04

🌀

He didn't move or awake. Everything hurt. So much. But his arms were tight around her.

2015-06-13 04:15:51

●

Slowly, her vision returned and she realized where she was. Her breathing slowed, and she clung tightly to him. Feathers? What was this?

2015-06-13 04:20:32

🌀

The lake water ran off his wings, and eventually the tide washed them ashore. Finally he let her go, still unconscious. His glasses were missing, and his sweater hung heavily on him, dripping wet.

2015-06-13 04:23:11

●

Slowly, they got to shore. Trembling from what she saw, she tugged him to shore, sitting down next to him. Just breath Anndrea. Just breathe.

2015-06-13 04:27:58

🌀

He groaned softly and coughed up water, eyes fluttering open. His wings twitched and folded against him.

2015-06-13 04:29:21

●

Anndrea looked over at him, the stars glistening behind her. She brushed some of his wet hair out his eyes shakily.

2015-06-13 04:30:07

🌀

He peered up at her and smiled slightly. "....am I dead?...." That silhouette had to be an angel.

2015-06-13 04:32:02

●

She chuckled softly. "N-no. Not that I know of." God, even her voice was shaky.

2015-06-13 04:33:01

🌀

Oh. It was Anndrea. "....are you dead? Oh God...oh God, are you alright?" He tried to sit up, but gasped with pain and fell back to the sand.

2015-06-13 04:34:01

●

"No, well i ...do not think that we are dead...I..." her voice trailed off. What was that vision about. Was it like the same ones Seculus had? Probably not.

2015-06-13 04:36:37

🌀

"That's not...comforting...what is...?" It felt like something was clinging to his back. He tried to sit up again, slower this time, and it took quite a bit of effort because of the extra weight and the horrible ache.

2015-06-13 04:38:40

●

"Oh! Do you need help sitting up?" She reached over and touched his....wings? What the hell was this? She jerked her hand away in surprise.
