Maya’s ears rang as all the sounds around her were muffled, but she had managed to hit the Outsider and forced her to let go of the Leviathan. That was something. She saw the demonic infants swarming towards her. She tensed herself to blast them away only for Herik’s lion to be right beside her, destroying them before they could even get near to her. She nodded her thanks and peered a head around the table to try and figure out what was going on from here. Lyss stretched out her hand and a barrier of energy stretched out towards the Outsider. Maya couldn’t hear what was said but she could guess it, she just had to-

Before she could even decide, Maya was swept off her feet as Herik picked her up once again. She turned her head to give him an incredulous look but didn’t say anything… because she didn’t want to sound stupid trying to talk when she couldn’t hear. Her lips were a thin, harsh line as she was set down inside Claudette’s barrier. It didn’t take long for Herik to run back in. She had not signed up for being rescued from something she was actively participating in.

The ringing stopped and she could hear again. She glanced around at the five that were here - Quinn and the new girl were both injured, Izzy was still panicking and Claudette was the one protecting them all. Maybe it was smarter to stay here with them and formulate some kind of plan. But there was no way she was running from a fight that she’d already taken part in. One that she was partly at fault for, at that. And Maya had never claimed to be smart (she definitely had). 

“I’m going back in,” she said to no one in particular, before ducking through the shadows and back inside. She ignored the chill that went through her as she emerged from the shadow. The Leviathan was going on an absolute rampage and Herik’s lion seemed to be helping. She took the chaos as an opportunity to move towards Lyss and Herik. 

She didn’t know how long Lyss’ barrier was going to hold but with the Leviathan right next to it she didn’t have a clear aim to hit. She was itching to attack but she [i]shouldn’t[/i] if it was just going to hit a coven member instead.

“How long can you hold that?” Maya asked Lyss. She glanced at the Leviathan and noticed just how much she was bleeding, before looking back at the Outsider. “I don’t want to waste my energy wildly shooting but I managed to get her to let go of the reptile creature before, maybe I can get her away from it before it’s hurt more.”

Because with all that bleeding it was only a matter of time before the Outsider damaged the Leviathan further. She raised her hands as she tensed, body on edge and ready to use her abstraction in reaction to anything that happened. Waiting for an opportunity where the Leviathan wasn’t in her way to blast the Outsider with all the power she had.
