«We Could Be Legends»

Wolfram didn't realize how close they where to the cars until he heard Toby's voice, and stopped in his tracks when River did. "It's nothing, I'm sure it's nothing."

Lily yelped sharply as she was promptly dropped from the air, and she glared at Brisa. "Thanks a lot."

"Then-then why are you acting more freaked out than normal?" Toby asked nervously.
“You’re so welcome. My pleasure.” Brisa replied straight faced, returning Lily’s glare full force. She turned away in time to catch the end of Toby’s words and glanced from him to Wolfram, waiting for his response. He does seem more nervous than usual, but then everyone’s on edge. She mused, glancing around past the group.
 
(I apologize for quoting so many posts :D)











































Brisa quietly followed the group with Lily, the floating girl slowly sinking closer to the ground as time went on. Her strength was waning as her anger faded, and her eyes had progressively gotten darker throughout the trip. Just a little farther! She thought, urging herself onward. We’re almost there! She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn’t notice the commotion at the front of the group until she almost ran into Sherri. “What’s happening?” She asked worriedly, adrenaline starting to seep into her worn out body.
Sherri's green eyes were closed, listening, ears flicking back and forth.
"They're coming. I just know it. We can't outrun them." Suddenly a loud, distracting noise rushed by. A car speeding down the road. She tensed, but it didn't stop. Hurrying. "The people who are escaping. They've made it I think," she said. "I don't think all of them have cars though. They're fleeing the city."
An overwhelming rush of fear-scent almost crippled her as voices rose from behind. She could here people running. Some of them running through these woods.
"What happened to the Pure, then?"

"What happened to the Pure, then?"
Wolfram winced as the car sped by, doing his best to hold Connor up.
"Let me," Taylor sidled up to him, indicated to Connor.
"Are you sure?" He growled, "he's...heavy."
"You're hurt, and you need to hold the group together," Taylor nodded, and switched places with him.
Wolfram hissed a sigh of relief when the weight lifted off his arm, and he glanced at Toby. "It...it's just anxiety. And heightened hearing, makes you think you're hearing things." But I did hear something, it's—
Wolfram whipped around as Sherri spoke, his adrenaline rushing as he spotted shadows in the forest. He saw the flash of a silver wolf pelt, the flicker of a white tipped cat tail, the thundering of Centaur hooves.
And, as much as he was relieved it wasn't the Pure, the noise made his anxiety spike to a hundred, if it weren't there already. "Stop!" He yelped sudden, not sure if anyone heard or would heed his call. If Mapleshade was near, she would hear all the noise, and she would find them. If she hadn't already.

He yelped sudden, not sure if anyone heard or would heed his call. If Mapleshade was near, she would hear all the noise, and she would find them. If she hadn't already.

"O-ok." Toby said quietly, relaxing slightly. When Wolfram yelled, Toby jumped backwards, letting out a stream of swear words. He sighed, slowly kneeling by Alpha and resting his head on his dogs back. He set the gun he was holding down, and wrapped his arms around Alpha, embracing him in a tight hug.
 
Wolfram flinched suddenly, gaze snapping around, only to find what he thought was a looming shadow was merely a oddly shaped tree that had escaped the damage of the fallen buildings. Pull it together.
The cars came into sight, and a crashing wave of relief passed over him, not sure how much longer he could support Connor. But it faded quickly, as he was positive he heard twigs snap and leaves crunch. He glanced into the dark woods, but saw nothing. "Ash," he growled, his voice low. There was no need to startle the rest of the group if it were nothing. "Did you hear that?"

Sherri raised her head, ears twisting. Footsteps. "Yeah. I heard that. I don't think they're friendly either..."
As her feline instincts sent a chill down her spine, Sherri turned her huge, fluffy ears back. Danged. It was eminent.

Brisa quietly followed the group with Lily, the floating girl slowly sinking closer to the ground as time went on. Her strength was waning as her anger faded, and her eyes had progressively gotten darker throughout the trip. Just a little farther! She thought, urging herself onward. We’re almost there! She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn’t notice the commotion at the front of the group until she almost ran into Sherri. “What’s happening?” She asked worriedly, adrenaline starting to seep into her worn out body.

Wolfram flinched as he heard Brisa's voice, cursing himself silently. "Nothing, Brisa." He growled, his tone sharper then he intended to. He glanced back at her for a fleeting moment, catching the look of exhaustion clouding her gaze. "Put her down, Brisa. She can walk herself now."

Toby's eyes widened slightly. He didn't hear anything, but he also didn't have super hearing like some of the others. "If you hear something, you need to tell us." He said, trying to hide his shaking voice.
Maybe it's just one of us. Nah, be real dude, It's the Pure and we're all going to die painful, bloody, deaths. Oh hey, Lily's here! Just what we need!
He gripped tightly on to Alpha's leash and took a few steps closer to Jessi.

“Okay.” She replied curtly in response to his harsh tone, meeting his worried eyes with her own weary gaze. Too tired to argue, she set Lily down a little less gently than she probably could have and straightened as if a load had been lifted, shaking out her arms and hands to relieve some of the numbness that often accompanied her telekinesis.

Wolfram didn't realize how close they where to the cars until he heard Toby's voice, and stopped in his tracks when River did. "It's nothing, I'm sure it's nothing."

Bleddyn thought about taking this opportunity to be vulgar and pitch the blame on Toby's influence. Instead, she used that adrenaline to smoothly relocate herself from trotting alongside Sherri to glaring up at Wolfram. "Dude, what gives?" she snapped, standing on restless toes. "You scare us like that and you'll end up dead."

Adrenaline having efficiently awakened her senses, Brisa heard the approaching creatures and flicked on her heat vision to see a lot of frightened people tearing in their direction. She jumped a mile when Wolfram shouted, her hand speeding toward the gun in her pocket.

Toby looked up at her, squinting. "Do your eyes always do... that?" He asked. "I mean, turn black."

Most of the Inhumans and humans in the forest stopped, heads turning to watch the strange spectacle, alerted by the sharp yelp from Wolfram.
"I'm so sorry, Bleddyn," he turned sharply to face the defiant blonde, his voice caustic. "If you haven't yet realized, I'm slightly on edge, because we're being followed by a group of murderers."

Taylor froze, still holding Connor, as Bleddyn stood before Wolfram, glaring. Briefly, Taylor feared Wolfram would snap, and injure the girl. But, to her surprise, he didn't.
...because we're being followed by a group of murderers.
Suddenly there was panic in the forest, a flurry of screeching and the pounding of feet and hooves and paws. Leaves scattered as the creatures in the forest fled. Taylor's gaze snapped from Wolfram, to the road behind him. Masked men, dressed in black and armed with guns, lined up behind a small, orange and black creature.
A cat, no bigger then the average housecat, stood at the lead, a single green eye gleaming, the rest of her face scarred and torn. They didn't move though, made no move toward the group or the fleeing people, only stared and waited.
"Wolfram," she rasped. "Don't look now, but they aren't following us anymore."

~

Wolfram tensed, but he didn't look away from Bleddyn. He saw the shadows out of the corner of his eye, but still didn't tear his gaze away from Bleddyn's. "No one," he murmured slowly. "No one move."

Sherri and Indigo tensed, though Indigo was preparing up a string of words that could possibly confuse the enemies before them, theoretically.

Toby froze. He stared at the cat that was obviously Mapleshade, only moving enough to hug Alpha tighter. He then glanced at Indigo. There's no way she could enchant so many people. Even if she could, she could accidentally enchant the rest of us. That wouldn't be good.
