The soft crunching of their boots joined in with the breeze as it swirled around them. Estelle brushed her hair out of her face and squinted her eyes, peering up at the sky. It was a gray blanket though she could make out that the light was waning which meant the sun must be going down. She looked up at her brother who was walking beside with his eyes on the road and reached out one small hand, tugging slightly on his jacket. [color=gold]"What is it Stelle?"[/color] Orion inquired, looking down at the little girl. She pointed up at the sky and he followed her finger, squinting as well. [color=gold]"Oh man, it's later than I thought. We should find a good place to spend the night before it gets dark."[/color] He scanned the horizon, eyes roving over the rubble and broken buildings that pock-marked the land. He finally spotted what looked like a relatively stable building in the distance in the direction of Willsden. Not that they would go into the city if they could help it. Orion tended to stay away from the cities unless he absolutely had to go in.

He pointed the building out to his sister who nodded in agreement. The duo along with Loki changed direction slightly and shot for the building. They didn't run but they walked fast as the sun dipped lower and lower in the sky. Orion didn't want to be caught out in the opening after dark when the Creepers came out. Better to find a safe structure that they could hide in and defend easily. Besides, there were very few that could outrun a pack of Creepers anyway as they hardly ever gave up when they latched onto prey. Orion and Estelle could easily change in a vampire so they could run fast but even in that form, they would eventually tire out and would need rest. So better to hide than to be found. Orion glanced at the sky and took Estelle's hand, walking faster. Loki trotted beside the girl, having been trained by Orion to always protect the girl. They even taught him commands such as whistles and clicks that Estelle could use. The girl gave the dog a soft smile as she glanced up at her big brother.

It wasn't a surprise that Estelle looked up to the boy and hoped that one day she could be as strong as he was. Orion caught her looking at him and she gave him a smile as she focused back on the ground in front of them. They were still a ways from the building and they hoped they could reach it before nightfall.[/center]
