[quote=Trent]“How far...can you teleport us?” [/quote]

[color=f26522]“Far enough away that it can’t see us,”[/color] Isla replied confidently, even though she didn’t feel it because she couldn’t guarantee that. Having to teleport to somewhere she’d been was a real pain when she'd hardly gone anywhere in this place. [color=f26522]“But I don’t want to unless we have too…”[/color]

She shook her head and kept going, slightly faster with Trent leaning on her a bit less. It wasn’t until they were a fair amount down the street that she turned her head around and noticed that the creature that had once been Caelea was gone. She came to a stop.

[color=f26522]“It’s gone,”[/color] she breathed out, more confused than anything. [color=f26522]“...Let’s wait for the others.”[/color]

She kept an arm around Trent as they stopped and waited, leaving it for him to decide if he wanted to stop using her for support - cause he sure did seem like he needed it. He did not look like he was in a good state at all. 

But at least they seemed safe… for now.

By the time the others appeared, Isla was tired. If she was honest all she wanted to do was sleep off all the blinking she’d done that day… But she also didn’t know if she could after seeing [i]that[/i]. But if she was honest no one seemed in good shape. Not that she was surprised. 

She looked away as the tall girl (Zoey?) hugged Captain Penny, partly out of respect and partly because they just couldn’t watch the crying. 

[quote=Odessa]"... I don't think this is real... When Caelea was killed, the Hound didn't show up."

"And he's always there when someone dies."[/quote]

Now that sounded like complete bullshit to Isla. She’d literally seen the albino girl ripped apart in front of her eyes. There was absolutely no way that she wasn’t dead. Isla didn’t trust it one bit - as a liar herself she wasn’t going to believe something that far fetched. Just because some dog hadn’t turned up? No way.

But she didn’t say or show any of that, instead a lazy (but strained) smile reappeared on her lips as she looked over at Odessa.

[color=f26522]“Well that sounds like great news,” [/color]she started, free hand going up to twirl her hair around her finger. [color=f26522]“But I second Finley’s question… Who’s the hound? And do you mean that she’s not dead?”[/color]

It just seemed absurd to her, even as she didn’t show how much she didn’t believe Odessa’s words.
