The darkness behind Mary was the cloaked Yasu (At least I'm fairly certain that's the name I used for her XD) and she struck Mary when Alari had turned back towards them, hitting her at an angle that knocked her out. Yasu looked at Alari, her face completely hidden in the darkness of the hood, then quickly picked up Mary, dashing for the window, another bloody body dropping out of her cloak, someone who was still alive and gasping for air, several wounds causing them to bleed quickly from their upper body. 

"Hotaru," Mera looked at her, "Hotaru, you need to focus, now. Even a second of uncertainty and she's got you," she said, keeping her hands up to make sure she had a good hold on her, but she grit her teeth realizing what color Hotaru's eyes were. They weren't orange which meant Sybil wasn't in control. They were instead a bright red, her pupils in tight slits. The floor creaked at her starting to move, "If it's not one thing it's another," Mera muttered angrily before a vine shot up, wrapping around Hotaru's neck and holding on tight, "Larel!" she called, sensing he was coming back. Hotaru's eyes went up towards her, the floor cracking as she started to get up, "Sheesh..." she wasn't so much worried about containing this, she was worried about Sybil managing to take over with her in this state. There wouldn't be such a simple solution as drawing her in to close range. Mera closed one of her hands, squeezing the vine around Hotaru's neck before she heard a knock at the window. She looked back confused, and her cloak blew up just enough when the window opened to see Mary in the shadow persons arms, "Mary!" The simple second of broken focus was all they were trying to achieve. Mera realized it and turned around to get one of the floorboards she had put on Hotaru's arm flung right in to her face. She quickly closed her hand again, holding the rest of it in place. She put her other hand to her face, grimacing, "Damn it!" she grit her teeth, looking back to see the woman gone. Her heart sank. How was she supposed to get to Mary while holding Hotaru in place. Larel might be able to slow her down, but someone would most definitely get hurt if not killed and then Hotaru would be hard to deal with once she was sane, but Mary was gone. She kept her one hand up and went over to the window, looking around outside, seeing no signs of her. Hotaru was clawing at the vine at her throat, which was starting to squeeze even tighter than before from Mera's frustration
