CHAPTER FIVE


Alaina paused. Gunfire. She heard gunfire. Her muscles froze and turned to liquid. Slayer peered at her out of the corner of his eyes and she smiled lightly. “Let’s do it.” He said, grinning. She drew magic, enhancing her vision. In the distance she could clearly make out the six figures, all with pistols, firing rapidly. Bluez was out in his night clothes, firing away at them with the gun from one he had killed.

Dried leaves crunched under their feet, twigs snapped, the hard, packed ground underneath the layers of natural waste provided no release in sound. Their feet pounded the ground, and before they were but two yards away, Alaina did a front flip, followed by another. Suddenly, on her third, she grabbed one of the characters and pulled him with her. As she landed stiffly on her feet, he landed flat on his behind, groaning at the hard fall. She quickly kicked him and then absently mindedly dodged a punch from one behind her. With a moment’s notice, a bullet fired towards her and she dove into a split on the ground, drop kicking the figure behind her. He fell ontop of her and she shoved him away, standing up and glancing at Slayer.

He was doing a good job at perishing the blue, black, and red furred rabbits firing. Bluez quickly dumped the empty clip of the gun, grabbing another to stuff it in. He fired at the two rabbits below Alaina—shooting them both in the shoulders and knees. They screamed in pain, but no one really noticed that or the fact they passed out in pain. Slayer grabbed the throat of a struggling male figure and sunk fangs into the base of the neck. His victim screamed and flailed around until he either died or passed out in agony—Alaina couldn’t decide.

"I hate doing that", Slayer muttered silently to himself, wiping his mouth. Only Alaina heard him because of the enhanced hearing drawing magic gave her.

Two gave each other glances, one female, one male, and ran. One was left. Distracting herself from Slayer, she quickly turned, ducking in time to avoid the hit from the butt of a gun. Grabbing the rabbit’s throat as she came up, she slammed him against the outside wall of the shack, making dust float in the air and making an impression in the rotting wood. Bluez stood to the right of Alaina, who had a choke hold on whoever it was. Slayer stepped over the dropped body of his ‘victim’ and stepped to her left.

Alaina decided to do the usual questioning that was oh-so typical:

“Who sent you?”
“Why should I tell y—“ He gagged on his words as she tightened her grip.
“Unless you want her to snap your throat in two, I suggest you say something, bud.” Slayer chuckled. The blue rabbits eyes flashed in fear from the three of them to Alaina’s arm.
Words came in rasps and gasps of breath, “Agah---Hig—h—Lor-d—Ag—a—h”
“Figured”, Alaina shrugged.
“What’s your name?” Bluez interrogated.
“Meh—ah---d.”
“Okay, Mehahd, I’ve got a deal”, Alaina completely released her grip and Mehahd crumbled at her feet.
“Well, he fainted. So much for that.” Slayer laughed.
“What the hell are you doing here?” Bluez growled at Slayer, turning his attention away from the crumbled assassin at Alaina's feet.
“I thought I’d stop in, have a cup of tea, you know. Relaaxx.” He laughed sarcastically.
“Shut up, both of you. I’ll hit you.” Alaina attempted at threatening, spinning on her heel to stare at them both with eyes illuminated with plain fury. Slayer suddenly burst out laughing, relaxing against the outside wall.
“What are you laughing at?” Alaina demanded, obviously not in a good mood.
“You.” He smiled, “You’re cute when you threaten.”
“Shut up.” She hit him hard on the side of the arm and he winced slightly.
“Well, we can’t stay here any more. Let’s talk over a cup of tea.” He remarked sarcastically.
