[center][h2][color=a95c68]Jacqueline Leroux[/color][/h2][/center][hr][hr]Distantly, Jacqueline Gunther’s shriek of demise, and knew Silhouette had been successful. [color=a95c68][i]Hell yes![/i][/color] There was no time to celebrate however, because next thing she knew, her knee got shot through. The pain wiped her mind clean of everything [i]but[/i] Pac, to whom she turned on with a frenzied focus. All else fell by the wayside; her whole reality was the pain pulsating in sync with her heartbeat, her rage-filled strikes falling upon the enemy.

That continued for what to her felt undeterminably long. In actuality, gravity was swift in asserting its influence. The car met the floor with tremendous force, and her body was flung aside, slamming into the car’s door as she landed across the seats. She lost consciousness for a few seconds without realizing it, and opened her eyes with a groan. Her leg was still shot, and her whole body had more aches than she could bear thinking about. She blinked blearily as she tried to get her bearings. Pac was…shielding herself?

She didn’t get a chance to do more than notice that fact. The very next thing, electricity coursed through her body. Her muscles locked in, nerves flaring and overwhelmed, and she couldn’t even scream properly. When it was over, Jacqueline was drenched in sweat, panting, teared up. And she was just so goddamn [i]tired[/i]. She had to fight tooth and nail merely so she didn’t black out again.

Justin’s tentacles snapped one door right off its hinges, which was her cue to dash. Or, well, blink, considering she wasn’t about to physically move anywhere. Before she could, however, the unknown esper who’d attempted to ambush the vampire flew in. Twintails then tagged her with a melody, grabbed Pac, and got out before Jacqueline could even consider saying ‘thank you’. 

Jacqueline found herself floating as well, which was surprisingly…[i]not[/i] weird. Not questioning it, she directed herself out of the car, and away from the tentacles. Now, she wasn’t precisely on the verge of death (though it sure as hell felt like it), but there was still Justin, the Diver…Plenty of remaining hostiles to fight against. With one leg useless, she wouldn’t be able to do much in melee; a disadvantage she could do without. So, she quite quickly made the decision to use that Lifeblood Crystal right there and there, in midair.

While her backup did its work, she continued floating towards Silhouette’s last known location. It hadn’t entirely escaped her notice that Justin had gone there. She made sure to stick close to the ground, or to the cars. Once she was on the edge of the car pile, she saw the situation. The vampire was facing her coworker, and seemed to be open from behind. Jacqueline crouched down, readied a melody, and fired it off at his back.
