"Leela, perfect timing as always." Aaron replied in relief as he glanced over at the red head but making sure to keep an eye on the screeching creatures that looked ready to pounce. It would be much easier now that she had arrived to even up the score so the battle would be quicker or at least one could hope so. He probably looked like he had already been in a fight since he had been chasing the murderer before the two Shadow Reapers had appeared before Aaron to block him off. His sandy blonde hair even wilder then it normally was while his rich chocolate brown eyes hardened, snapping his full attention the beast in front of him as it start to move forward. 

It paced a bit, Aaron waiting for the right moment to dodge as he knew it would probably leap. It snarled, jumping at him with a snap to only catch air as he rolled out of the creatures way. The glowing bracelet shining brighter as he pulled magic from his relic, a small fireball forming in his hand as he chucked it at the back of his target causing it to stubble forward with a sickening noise coming from its mouth before it turned on him riled in anger. He had to make sure to be careful with what he hit.

Susan walked through the house, not caring that she was dripping water all over the floors or the horrible state she was in. Her olive green eyes gazed ahead unfocused on the guest bedroom door while water from her bloody clothes and wet messy dark brown hair helped form puddles in her wake. She felt numb, trying to register what was real or not and wondering if this was some sort of sick dream. She wanted to believe that she had fallen asleep while waiting for the call from her brother. That any second, she would awake or that her brother would come knocking on the door to greet her with a bear hug.

It was about then that a knocking sounded at the door causing her to spin around, as she ran to the door as fast as she could. Susan slipped here and there, thanks to the watered down floor but that didn't stop her. She grabbed hold of the handle of the door, happiness and hope filling her as she yanked open the entrance to her home. "Kaleb!" she yelled excitedly, wanting it so much to be him and laughing about how he had pranked her good this time. Only she was greeted with the sight of a stranger on her steps, which made her quickly fall back to reality that her older twin brother was gone. Susan gripped the necklace she had on, almost as if trying to hide it from view as Kaleb's words rang in her mind plus it gave her comfort to have something of his close. "Sorry...I was...expecting someone else. Can I help you with something?" she asked, a little fearful and a bit untrustworthy of people at the moment.
