The Hunt (CLOSED - Stalkers welcome)

((Sorry I've been M.I.A))
Kailani watched as Ianthe rushed into the nearest building, but she hadn't figured out why. Slowly, she turned and looked up. The vampire…it had wings She cursed under her breath and rushed after Ianthe. She found her a little later. "We can't stay here." She hissed. "He could burn this place to ground, With. Us. In it!"

Ianthe pulls out her notebook, turns to Kailani and writes: I have a rune that we can use for fire resistance, but I'd prefer to only use it if absolutely necessary. I have a very high chance of passing out afterwards. That is if I even have enough time to cast it.

Kailani nodded, biting her bottom lip with worry. She really didn't want to brave the flames. That was the last thing she wanted to do. She could fight vampire, she could fight the darkness, but she couldn't fight fire.

Fiona continued to run towards the woods, her eyes darting around watching the sky, ready for that flying thing to come kill her at any moment.

Kailani nodded, biting her bottom lip with worry. She really didn't want to brave the flames. That was the last thing she wanted to do. She could fight vampire, she could fight the darkness, but she couldn't fight fire.

Ianthe flips through her notebook, reading a few pages before writing: Okay, I know what I need to do if I need to cast the rune. if I do, you'll have to cover me. I'll probably faint. So, if I need to use it, be prepared.

Kailani pulled her daggers, the sharp, black, obsidian blades gleaming. She nodded to Ianthe. And that is when she heard it. A loud thump downstairs. Her green eyes faded black and she growl. "He's here." She stalked towards the steps quietly, her steps silent, and peeked down. She could see the tendrils. Kailani cursed under her breath and crept back to Ianthe. "We need to be ready to get out of her. You need to be ready to get out of here."

Ianthe writes, then tears the paper and hands it to Kailani. If we keep running, we're going to have to stop for a break at some point, and then what? We should fight, or at least injure him enough to buy us some time.

Kailani grumbled under her breath but agreed. "Fine, we give him a few cuts and bruises and then we get out. That should by us enough time until morning." Kailani cracked her neck and rolled her shoulders. She was about to put all that practices over all those years to good use.

Ianthe took a deep breath, then readied her staff. Her rune tattoos faded into view.

Kailani checked the window. There were jagged bricks that had been set unevenly. "Okay, this looks climbable if we truly do need to retreat. And there's hay if we don't climb all the way down."

((All good my dude! Take all the time you need :D ))
