Herik stood from the edge of the pool making his way to Lyss, so he could get the potion. He planned to leave right away. If there was anything else that came from the meeting he'll get an update about it later. He was half way to her when the sound of broken glass sounded from the house. Like a window was broken, but not in the way a child accidentally breaks a window with a rock or ball. It sounded like a car crashed through the wall. 

Whatever it was startled Lyss.

[color=D3D3D3] “She’s here.”[/color] He didn't know who she was talking about, but it didn't sound good. He called Asta, because Madison called Jaws. If their heavy hitter was gearing for a fight he was smart to do the same. The pool door was broken like a squished soda can, an abomination came out of the darkness asking for a person he didn't recognize. Who's Saul and why would he be here? The other members managed to have a decent conversation with it. Maybe it was as much of a threat breaking down the door suggested. He was too optimistic. Annabelle came at them with intent to kill. Herik moved out the way, away from the potion bottle. It was on a table close to the fight. He had to get that bottle before it was broken or taken. He was close enough Asta could swipe it from the table and bring it back to him. He saw movement out of the corner of his eye. He turned around and saw Vashti escaping with Emily. He's not the type to run from a fight, especially with something that dangerous, but the risk of breaking the potion if he stayed was too high. Asta snatched the bottle and brought it back to him. he put it in his pocket and followed behind Emily and Vashti, but diverted from their path to the moped so he could get to his car.

He's just closed the door when the others came running out the door. He saw fire through the window. If killing it with fire didn't do the trick he wasn't sure fighting it would go well. 

BOOM!

The car shook from the sound. Annabelle turned into a giant monster beyond the likes of anything he's ever imagined. What the fuck? Herik turned his car on and booked it from the property. There's no way they could fight that. For the first time in decades he truly felt afraid. His hands shook, his breathing was rapid, he didn't slow down at the yellow light, but sped up. Somethings caused for disobeying traffic laws. He sped all the way to the hospital trying to stave off a panic attack. It brought back memories of the last time he felt this way. He couldn't remember clearly, but he felt the phantom pains of someone holding something soft over his face, the faint ringing of his mother's screaming. Whatever the hell that thing drudged up he didn't want to think about while driving.
