Drake’s eyes watching the blonde named Kathleen very carefully as he helped her out the nerve relaxers into Sal’s mouth, glad to hear that he should at least stop seizing soon. He went to thank her, but it was like one her fingertips grazed Sal, her eyes haze over before she was brought back to reality. It happened so quickly, he looked at her. “Are you okay?” he asked, and when he got her response, he looked to the others, Cole gathering up the calmer bodied Sal. “Go on, Jo and I won’t leave him.” She whispered to Drake before Clary teleported them into the cemetery. It took a moment for her to focus again as she set Sal on the ground, looking to Clary before she left. “Clary, babe, just find the others and bring them to us. Okay? Be quick, and be safe.” Clary nodded. “I will.” She placed a quick kiss to Cole’s cheek before teleporting again. Cole heard Jo speak, and she placed a hand on Jo’s back and led her over by where Sal was lying with Aless watching the gates, her hands out as if she were placing a spell. “This is a cemetery. It’s where the humans bury their dead, it’s always a sad place.” Her eyes watched Jo, briefly glancing to Sal and nodding. “I don’t want to be here either. But right now, if we’re safe that’s what matters, and hopefully Clary can get everyone to us quickly so we can leave.” Aless walked over and gave sad eyes to them. “I’m sorry we have to be here, but the hunters dare not come here with my mother actually being out. She’s the only necromancer left that we know of, and the last time they got caught in here… well… let’s just say my mother is a hell of a lot stronger than they give her credit for.” Cole nodded a bit, sitting with Sal, bringing his head into her lap. “I’m just glad his body quit jerking. He won’t wake up until the vision is complete though.” Cole motioned over to Jo and patted the ground beside her. Aless sat on the opposite side and looked at them. “I hate this place…” she muttered, but soon she heard a boom nearby and she stood, quickly. She could see others coming into view, and it was the group they had just left… plus one. Aless quickly ran down and opened the gate, seeing Drake run up to Cole, Sal, and Jo before she saw Atticus walking behind with Kathleen. And he man named Alex was talking with a sand blonde man with green eyes. Once he saw her, he broke from Alex and brought her into his arms. “They didn’t hurt you did they?” he asked, bringing his hands to her face and looking her over. Aless shook her head and felt his lips touch her forehead. “Good. Alex here gave me the run down of what chaos ensued.” Aless nodded and watched as Alex walked up towards Jo, his demeanor was still tense. “Did you see mom and Mitch? Or anyone else?” she asked and Roland shook his head. “No, but those hunters are stupid if they keep going. Those explosions caused quite a bit of death, and needless to say the dead weren’t quite as dead as they’d hope.” He said, and he looked up to the group. “We need to get the boy to the house though.” Aless nodded. “Lead the way for them, please? I’m not leaving until I see mom.” Roland nodded, and he looked to the group of them. “Alright, here’s the plan, I know for a fact the unconscious boy needs to come, but anyone else ready to leave, follow me. Anyone wanting to wait, stay here. Aless, Kat, and Atticus will lead you back.” Cole looked to Jo and Alex once Alex got to them. “Jo, come on, let’s get out of here.” She said with a soft smile. Drake looked to her and placed Sal, carefully in Cole’s arms. “I got it Drake.” Drake nodded. “Okay, I’m not leaving before I see Tiff.” Cole nodded, and she saw Alex taking Jo’s hand and leading her down through the cemetery, whispering to her. “I’m sorry that I left you. Truly I am, but I would rather you be safe than get hurt.” He said, and Cole sighed. That was one of Alex’s biggest downfalls. No matter how capable those he cared about were, he felt that he would always have to protect them. Once the group was together, Roland began leading them away from the cemetery on a forest path that was a little grown over. “It’s not far, I promise.” He told them. -- Atticus simply nodded to Kathleen when she took her place beside him, and when one of the hunters finally got close enouhh, he baseball slid on the ice and pulled his feet out from under him, noticing the others moving too. He stayed down, seeing a fireball go flying over his head and hitting the hunter about three foot from him. “Good shot man!” Atticus called, and when he stood, it all happened so quickly he just reacted. A redhead with bright eyes had shot off, aiming at Alex, but Atticus moved in the way, feeling the bullet hit his bicep. His eyes widened and he cursed, digging his fingers into the hole and throwing the bullet away before everyone looked at Kat. Well, fuck. Atty quickly pulled up the man he pulled down, his eyes darkening as he pulled his life energy from him and he watched as the ice melted when he ran towards Kat. She had stopped herself from killing the girl and he heard her say she didn’t feel good, and he turned and allowed her to piggyback on him. “It’s alright. We’ll head home soon.” He said, and when he heard another gunshot, he watched the bullet be met with some fire before he saw Roland run right past all of them as he baseball slid and fed from the last of the hunters. Drake and Alex both watched in awe, but walked over to Atticus as Roland came back over. “Where is everyone else?” Roland asked. “Aless went with another group the cemetery and Lia and Mitch are still in there. How’d you find us?” he asked. “The first hunter I ran into. I heard explosions and one mentioned one they didn’t set off over here, I figured I’d find one of you, but let’s go to the cemetery, Lia has got something brewing in there that will keep the hunters preoccupied for a while.” Roland said, and he saw Drake take the lead. Roland stayed behind and saw the troubled look on Alex’s face. “What’s wrong man?” “My little sister is still in there with some of our friends.” Alex said, and Roland sighed. “I don’t want to leave.” “She a good fighter?” he asked and Alex nodded. “She’ll be fine then. What he hell even happened anyway?” Alex sighed, and he explained to him what had been told to him as they walked towards the cemetery. It wasn’t as long of a walk as it felt, but once they were there, Alex could tell from seeing Jo he was in trouble. He saw Roland take off and checked over Aless, and Alex slowly walked up to Jo. He didn’t know how to even begin for this one, he just didn’t want her hurt… that could have been potentially more dangerous. -- Billie and Dahlia looked at each other briefly before Lia looked about. There was a pause, but Lia was already muttering her spell and she saw one of her zombies run past with a smirk. “Dahlia, go and find Zach and Logan. Get out of here as fast as you can. I’ll be fine.” “I’m not leaving you. Broken ribs, a bruised eye, bloody lip, plus you’ve been shot. What do you expect me to tell Logan?” she said, and Billie’s eyes went over black. “This isn’t open for discussion Dahlia. I’m a fighter, always have been, plus, my ribs are almost fully healed and the gunshot wound isn’t bleeding, so I’ll be just fine. Plus, being me, I’ll throw off more hunters and it’ll give you guys time to get out.” She said, and Dahlia rolled her eyes before taking off. She found a hunter when she bounded the first corner, and when he grabbed her arm she punched him square in the jaw. She kicked his feet out from underneath him and when he didn’t go do, she took off her jacket and let her wing hit him in the face before she began running again. She bounded another corner and found Zach, Logan, Tiffany, Rose, and a new man, but she let out a sigh of relief. “Thank God.” She ran over to them, watching the man head off and Tiffany going to follow him. She took hold of her shoulder and whispered. “Left then right. They’re near the center of the mall.” Billie sure as hell couldn’t boss Tiffany around, and soon Dahlia got over to the other group and looked around a second before her wings came out and ruffled a bit before going back in. She was rather annoyed with being sent away, but she looked to Logan, “B is fine, she’s just being stubborn as hell.” She said, and she hugged Zach and then Rose. “But we do need to get out of here.” She ran towards the west and she saw Clary appear and she sighed. “Thank God.” Clary said, hugging Logan. “I’m so glad you’re okay. Come on, I’m taking you guys to the others then I’m coming back and getting the rest out of here, these zombies I keep seeing are freaking me right the hell out. They won’t touch me, but they’re just freaky.” Dahlia turned and saw one of the hunters corpses running towards the center of the mall, and when it spotted another hunter, it just ripped into it and Dahlia looked away with a shudder. “Yeah, getting out of here sounds like good idea.” Clary nodded, and she led them further outside, seeing the fleeting figure of Alex on a path near them and she let out a sigh. “The cemetery is up that way. I don’t sense any harmful auras otherwise I’d teleport you there. I’m going to get Tiff and B and… I can’t remember the other names. I’ll be there soon.” She disappeared and Dahlia looked over towards Logan as she walked with Zach and Rose, offering Rose her jacket. “All this hunter business has got my feathers ruffled.” She grumbled, and she saw a small group disappearing into the forest before she saw Drake run down to them and sigh. “Where’s Tiffany?” he asked. “She went after Billie.” Dahlia said, and soon she saw Aless. “Where’s my mother and your sister?” she asked. “Your mother had a plan. I got sent away.” She said, and Aless nodded and led them over to a bench. “It shouldn’t be much longer. I hope.” Aless whispered, standing at the gates. -- Billie made sure Dahlia was fully around the corner before she saw the zombies and smirked. “Nice. That is helpful.” Lia nodded and she saw more hunters coming their way, and before anything else happened, she heard another gunshot and she watched Billie stagger back and grab her side. “Fucking really?!” she shouted, putting her hands over the wound and pulling the bullet out, placing it in her pocket. She quickly found the one with a raided gun, who was now shaking as she walked over and threw a right hook into his ribs and then another left one into his jaw before grabbing his wrists and snapping them both and throwing him in front of his friends who blinked, barely. Obviously they’d never run across something like her. Lia chuckled a bit and watched as two of the hunters were jumped on from behind by her zombies their necks being torn into and she watched as Billie continued to fight off the others. Before long they were standing back to back, but soon Lia saw two figures coming their way and water was disappearing from that line of hunters that was there, and she looked around and saw Billie snapping ones neck as more of the zombies went at whoever threatened them. “Better late than never babe!” Billie called, walking over to Tiffany. She stopped briefly, picking up a t shirt from a random pile in the middle of the floor ad she changed out of her blood encrusted one, walking over to them. Lia had put her arms around the man, and breathed out. They had a moment of pause it seemed and Billie stood by Tiffany, lifting her new shirt to see her new gunshot wound wasn’t bleeding and sighed. Lia looked back and saw a new line of hunters, and she looked back to see the bodies that Mitch and Tiffany had left behind before a brunette appeared between all of them. There was a pull and then all of a sudden Lia could barely see anything, but she could feel the cemetery near them and when she looked around, her eyes in focus, she saw the brunette from earlier. Lia didn’t see Mitch at first, but she saw Billie and her motherly instinct kicked in she felt her shoulder, pulling the loose fabric from her t-shirt over and seeing just a scar looking mark there. She lifted Billie’s shirt and saw the newest gunshot wound was almost closed as well, and then she brought her face to her hands. The black eye had faded quite a bit and her bruised lip was still barely swollen, but she was almost completely healed and she backed away, finally seeing Mitch, and she hugged him again before she began heading towards the cemetery. “We better get going, I’m sure your friends are worried about you two.” Billie nodded and threw her arm around Tiffany, watching as Clary ran ahead and when the others came into view, Billie let out a sigh of relief. However, Billie backed a couple steps away as Drake ran over and lifted Tiffany up. “I’m so glad you’re alright.” He said, looking her over before Billie shook her head a little and walked over to Logan and wrap her arms around him. “Babe, I vote we never go to the mall again.” She whispered to him as she closed her eyes and just held on to him. Aless looked at Billie and Logan and smiled a little before she ran over to Lia and Mitch and smiled. “I’m glad you’re alright!” Lia shook her head and hugged her. “I can’t believe you doubt your mother. Especially after everything we have been through.” She said, and she chuckled. “And Atty won’t say, but Kat isn’t feeling good.” Aless said, and Lia nodded. “Here in a minute well head back to the house and get everything sorted and calmed. Besides, we’re not all against each other.” She said, and Aless nodded, seeing Atty allow Kat to piggyback him again before they met up with them. “Whenever everyone is ready, we’ll head back to the house. Take your time, we’re not far from here and we’re safe here.”
