Rolling her eyes behind her sunglasses, Maya opened her mouth to say something sharp to interrupt Emily - only for something else to do it for her. A large metal canister dropping right on the table they were standing around. She stared at it momentarily before Lyss shouted at them to get down and for once it was an order that Maya didn’t have a problem following. She dropped to her knees and yanked her jumper up and over her nose and mouth, sincerely regretting not bringing a scarf that day as the gas bombs exploded around them. It hit her eyes first, burning hot as they instantly filled with tears and blurred over. 

At least no one would see them behind her sunglasses.

She momentarily considered blasting the gas away for a momentary reprieve, as she gasped for air and it hit her lungs with a burning pain that had her coughing instantly. She quickly dismissed the idea. It would give her seconds of clear air at most before the gas flooded back in and would only exhaust her. No, she had to get outside. 

Spluttering out a cough, Maya began to crawl in the same direction Lyss had - fairly certain that it was probably towards the exit. Tears streamed down her face, eyes in such intense pain that she could barely keep them open and even as she forced them to the sunglasses didn’t help with seeing at all. But she kept forcing herself forward, following the sounds of the others who were stumbling towards the exit just like she was. She [i]had[/i] to get out. 

[b]"FBI! FBI! FBI! F-B-I!"[/b]

Fuck, seriously? Maya came to a halt as she let out a sharp breath, only to break into a coughing fit as the gas hit her lungs more. Why was the FBI here… was this some kind of raid? Where they suddenly in a fucking movie? Fuck this. She forced herself to keep moving forward, closer to the exit and the blurry views of figures she saw. 

[quote]"Alright ladies, I know it hurts, but it's going to get a lot worse if you don't give up here. So just agree to surrender and I'll get rid of the gas." [/quote]

Maya grasped out for something to hold onto, hand finding what felt like a half destroyed slot machine or something. She wasn’t sure and didn’t care as she used it to push herself up so she could stand at her full, incredibly unimpressive height. She probably looked the exact opposite of intimidating as she levelled the FBI with a sunglasses covered glare, tears still streaming down her cheeks and gasping for breath. Herik’s shout to do what they say half registered in her mind but she quickly discarded that. Like hell was she going to do that. 

“Fuck you,” she bit out, loud enough for the FBI members to hear as she steadied herself. She silently apologised to the other coven members nearby as the soundwave on the back of her neck began to glow.

She let out a powerful blast of sound in a ten metre radius around her. She tried to stay on her feet as she did, but her head spun with the sudden loss of balance and her legs gave out from under her. Loud ringing hit her ears and she squeezed her eyes shut.

She couldn’t see or hear anything now, but she sure as hell hoped the blast had at least knocked back the FBI.
