Dragon's Roar ( Future Arc )

[Skaggon]

RJ grabbed his things and went to work. He spent all night working on his project.


Skylar and Clare immediately went to bed after the long day.


Marshall read for an hour before passing out.


Clark played with a tennis ball for a little bit before eventually sleeping.


Grace slept silently when she went to her room.

Yin sighed as she fell asleep. Her head falling on the dirty floor, and her hands falling onto her lap.

Austrianna
​

 
​

Austrianna opens her eyes to the sunlight hitting it. The first thing she feels is the pain of hunger from not eating for a few days.  Austrianna rubs her eyes since everything is still blurry, she had to at least be prepared herself to wake up her siblings. It was hard to focus since the scent of multiple people in one area kept hitting her nose. With Eppie sleeping beside her it was even worse. To be honest it wouldn't be bad if she just took one bite from her. She could just blame it on the rats...couldn't she? Austrianna manages to see clearly and looks down at Eppie's sleeping body. Austrianna couldn't deny that she looked appetizing and the aching hunger pains would go away if she just took a bite...or two. Instead of reaching out to Eppie Austrianna manages to conduct herself at the last minute, biting her own thumb to keep herself from grabbing Eppie. She bites so hard she begins to bleed, remembering that she was an ally, not food. Austrianna began to mumble the words her mother would tell her about eating others. It's to never do it because feeding off of others is the same as killing them and she was not a killer. Though sometimes it was difficult and murder seems okay. Austrianna's eyes widen at the thought of murder being okay, this was not her at all. This was her hunger speaking and she needed to get a grip on herself. Even if she's the eldest and the most responsible out of her siblings she had the least self control. With a deep breath she lets her thumb go and decides on going through with fasting for the next day. She couldn't reveal her true nature...not in front of them. They already had reasons to distrust her, this couldn't be one of them. ( @CelticSol @The Imperial Flame @Tazmodo @GingerBread @Daimao @Inheritance @King Crimson @LokiofSP @MTchaos1134 )

​

As Austrianna decides not to act, she's given another; Habiba throws open the basement door and slams it closed so hard the clang rattles against the hinges. If that didn't wake them, the bell Habiba starts furiously ringing wakes them as Habiba charges through the room. Unlike earlier, where her hijab was placed securely upon her head, she looks like she had yanked the entire headpiece off her head, dark hair in disarray. Habiba rings the bell hard, the sound echoing through the room as she shouts, "Every one of you needs to wake up right now!  We need to leave!" As she says that, she heads over to a far wall, digging her fingers into a crevice in the wood panneling, and as she wails on the wall, trying to pull it off, it becomes clear Habiba is attempting to rip off a false panel, but is not strong enough.


Leonidas startles awake, practically shooting up into a standing position. Training with his mother had similar trials like this - speedy evacuation from dangerous situations, even when asleep - so it's practically second nature to grab his backpack and throw it on his shoulder as he tries to stand up as quick as possible. He doesn't change or make any attempt to; Habiba's frantic disposition tells him enough about the gravity of the situation. He gets a little trapped within the blankets, and crawls over to one of the people sitting beside him - a girl he thinks is named Ruby? - and shakes her awake, "Wake up, wake up!"


Eppie raises her head from her pillow, squinting into the sunlight. Through the groggy haze of sleep, she somehow does not understand the imperative rush of the situation, propping herself on to her elbows and wiping the sleep from her eyes before she puts her head down into her hands, groaning.

Castiel


Castiel screwed up his face and rolled onto his side as the sunlight hit his face. "I don't wanna... get up" Castiel muttered to himself, before realising that he wasn't in his bed and sitting up with a jolt before he remembered where he was and what was going on.  He groggily rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he slowly stood up and grabbed some more clothes out of his nearby bag and getting undressed; He didn't really care who saw as he wasn't getting completely nude, just down to his underwear before redressing. 


Castiel stretched his arms out to the side and let out a barely audible yawn as he stuffed the clothes he wore yesterday and while sleeping into the bottom of his bag, along with the bloody shirt that he had also worn yesterday. He was slightly surprised that his eyesight was still there; He assumed that it was because he wasn't using his eyes as much when he was sleeping, so the mana didn't get used as quickly as it normally would, and that along with the fact that he had a shot just before he went to sleep.


Castiel looked around the room, seeing that not many people were up yet, apart from Austrianna. 'Isn't that one of Zalena's siblings? She was the one who tried to calm everyone down... I think her name was Austrianna? I don't know.. It wouldn't hurt to ask her anyway...'  Castiel started walking over to Austrianna quickly, not wanting to have his sight go while he was walking past everyone and over to her, though he made sure not to step on anyone. "Hey.." Castiel gave her a small wave, using his bad hand out of instinct before quickly lowering it. "You're Zalena's sister, right?" Castiel said, thinking that was the best way to ask.


Castiel winced as he heard Habiba start ringing a bell and waking everyone up. 'Great, just what I wanted to happen. And now I'll get a headache as well. Fantastic' He groaned slightly as he saw everyone getting up already; He understood why.. well not really why they had to go so quickly. It's not like they were doing anything illegal or had any reason to be in a hurry. So he assumed that they just wanted them gone after what had happened last night. Castiel was planning to ask Austrianna about Zalena and tell her what happened last night, but now that everyone was up, he threw that plan away, since he was counting on everyone being asleep so none of they would be able to hear what he was saying.

Ruby
​

 
​

Ruby had gotten a space for Ree to sleep once she got ready herself. With a yawn she closes her eyes and shifts into the world of dreams. Porkchops had fallen asleep on Ree's head as well long ago in the car. He honestly didn't care where he slept even if it meant he had to balance. ( @King Crimson )

Eppie raises her head from her pillow, squinting into the sunlight. Through the groggy haze of sleep, she somehow does not understand the imperative rush of the situation, propping herself on to her elbows and wiping the sleep from her eyes before she puts her head down into her hands, groaning.

After setting up her sleeping spot and finishing her nightly rituals, Ree placed Porkchops gently between her and Ruby and tucked herself in. Falling asleep was a rather difficult thing for her due to her "condition", so she simply got comfortable, stared up at the ceiling and waited. As she expected, the events of the day had drained a lot of her energy and she found herself falling into a heavy sleep rather quickly.


---


As morning approached, Ree found herself being woken up by a frantic tapping on her head and Zeal's panicked voice.


"Lord! Lord! We must move at once! There is a great commotion nearby!"


Ree sluggishly sat up, still far from being fully awoken, and gurgled out a languid "Ugh~ What's all the racket about?"


The threatening clatter of the alarm bell sobers her rather quickly, and she begins to repack her things and nervously restates her previous inquiry to Habiba.


"H-Hey! What's going on!?"

Ruby
​

 
​

Ruby wakes up with a jolt and yelps at the situation in front of her. She takes note of Castiel changing so she could only assume that he had his sight at the moment. She turns her eyes to Leo and raises an eyebrow, deciding on asking him the question Ree already asked. "Yeah, what's up?" Ruby runs her hand through her hair and tries to look as presentable as possible. "You do know what's going on right?" Ruby gathers her things and was ready to leave whenever she was directed to move in a direction. She was still waiting on Leo to respond. ( @CelticSol @King Crimson )

Austrianna
​

 
​

Austrianna wondered why Castiel approached her but the reason could be saved for later. She makes sure her other siblings are awake and turns to Eppie, who's unable to grasp the situation. Whether or not this was her clear judgement making this decision she went along with it. Austrianna packs Eppie's things up, throws them on her back, and picks Eppie up as well. Juniper and Zalena help Habiba open up the hidden door, using their strength. With a large pull they end up being successful and turn to Habiba to question her on what's going on. ( @CelticSol )

​

Eppie is suddenly very awake as she is hoisted into somebody's arms, eyes flying wide in alarm as she lets out something torn between a squeak and strangled yelp, startled from the sudden, unexpected movement. "What the fuck?!"


Leo shakes his head at Ruby, "No idea; it's probably really important we get moving, though, judging by the rush the woman is in," Leo stands, offering a hand to help Ruby get up before he heads over to Habiba as she, along with Juniper and Zalena help throw the panel away.

 
​

Once the false panel is ripped away, it reveals a locked steel door hidden securely behind it. Habiba pulls a set of keys from her skirt, and starts looking at all of them frantically as she tries to find the one that goes to the door, looking for the marking signalling it. As she looks for the key, she begins to explain, speaking in rushed tones, her words more accented from her stress, "I don't know who and I don't know why, but someone dropped a tip to police that your group was here. There's twenty fully armed police officers and a Monarchy agent upstairs trying to get inside the building. Diego's trying to divert them and buy us some time, but I don't-" Habiba freezes and almost drops the keys as the sound of gunfire erupts upstairs, causing her to look up towards the door to upstairs in horror. She snaps out of it at the sound of a deafening, inhuman, beast-like howl, looking back down and finally finding the correct key. She inserts the key with shaking fingers and unlocks the door, practically body checking it open. She holds the door open for all the children, "Everyone inside the tunnel, now!"

Castiel


Castiel looked at Austrianna as she just ignored him almost completely, walking away and over to someone else, not even bothering to answer his question. "Not really sure what I expected; everyone so far has been rude; If they're not rude then they're liable to kill me" Castiel shook his head and went and grabbed his bag, doing a quick check that he still had at least one injection and that it was at the top, incase he needed it quickly. 'Why am I working with any of these people again..?' Castiel thought for a moment as he pulled his bag up onto his back. The only reason he could come up with for still staying with the group was that he couldn't see, though he'd found a solution to that problem already. 'So, I'm only staying because I can't see and could use some help.. Though that's not really a problem anymore and I've had more damage done to me by people in this group, than anyone else..'  


Castiel shook his head and sighed as he placed his head in his hands before dragging them slowly down his face. "I shouldn't be thinking like that; I'm sure we'll be fine from now on, I'm just overreacting right-" Castiel was only half listening to what Habiba was saying, but turned his full attention to her when she said there were police officers outside with guns. He started walking over to them, at a slower pace than he really should've been going at, but he was just too tired emotionally and physically to even begin caring, since this just felt like the worse thing that's happened to him so far and it felt like it was only going to get worse. 'I spoke too soon.. I just want to go home and forgot this whole thing ever happened and Mom and dad were just on a holiday. There was someone else who wanted to be a leader of the group anyway, I'm sure they'd be happy to fill in my spot; I just can't handle this right now... Or ever..' Castiel kept his gaze locked to the ground as he stepped through the door and made his way through it, picking up his pace.

Mary


Mary grabbed her bag and held it tightly to her chest as she walked over to Habiba with a frightened and confused expression on her face. "But the police are good people, right? They're there to help us and protect us.. So why are we running away from them" Mary's voice was full of fear and confusion just like her facial expression. "A-And I still have to give them the evidence about the bad man with that wierd tattoo! If I don't give it to them how will they know he was the person doing bad things!"

If there was any trace of sleep left in Ree's body, the distinct sound of gunfire was more than enough to chase it away. Ree turns to Ruby with an apparent tone of breathless panic that seemed to be buried beneath an uncharacteristic, urgent timbre of authority.


"Ruby, We've gotta get going! Shouldn't your brother be here!?"

Austrianna
​

 
​

Austrianna doesn't hesitate to enter the tunnel with Eppie. "Sorry but we needed to move swiftly and you were half awake. I'll let you down once you're confident to move swiftly on your own." Austrianna continues moving down the tunnels behind her two siblings, finding it odd that Zalena insisted on staying ahead of Juniper. The fifteen year old girl was literally trying to outrun the family athlete which wasn't going well for her. While Zalena seemed to be sprinting Juniper was right on her heels with a simple jog. If Juniper felt like running Zalena would no longer be in front. Speaking of which, Austrianna had to get moving herself. While trying not to shake Eppie too much, she begins her own jog down the tunnel. "Lively ones aren't they?" ( @CelticSol )

Juniper
​

 
​

Juniper didn't know why but she felt a wave a happiness and the urge to be competitive. Even though she forgot that she used to be a serious athlete the feelings she picked up from them never left her heart. Juniper who is now boosted with adrenaline takes it upon herself to race and beat Zalena. She begins to shift her jog into a sprint and easily shoots by Zalena. She doesn't even know where this tunnel will take her but for once she didn't feel anxiety, she didn't feel hopeless, and she felt like she was confident in something. As long as she was running and was winning she felt like there was nothing wrong in her life anymore. She felt invulnerable-no she  felt like her mother, supreme. The shyness within her was replaced with adrenaline as Juniper managed to laugh. "Yes!" She couldn't help but cheer as the wind of victory flew through her hair. 

Ruby
​

 
​

"Yeah my brother is over there." Ruby points to Castiel who has already entered the tunnel. She takes Leo's hand and stands up, looking into the tunnel others have run into. "Wow...they must have some type of super speed. I guess we should get going ourselves?" Ruby begins to lightly jog, not even trying to go at the speed Juniper and Zalena were going at since it would be a failed attempt. Though Juniper seemed to be going very fast, much faster than the hyperactive girl. "Drugs, must be drugs." ( @CelticSol @King Crimson )

 

[Skaggon]

RJ was up all night working on his little project. When people started to stir he put his things away and git ready. It wasn't hard to stay up and having insomnia was definitely an aid. He didn't question that girl about what she almost did and decide to ask later. When everyone started heading out he tried to keep up after waking Clark and Grace. Clark stayed with RJ to make sure he didn't fall behind while Grace caught up with the group. "Why are we being shot at?" She wasn't talking to anyone in particular she just wanted to know why.


Marshall woke up when the bell went off and got dressed when he heard gun shots he started to move too. He saw one of the girls sprint past and thought a nice morning run would help warm up his legs. He started running up to her and eventually passing with a mad grin because he was having fun. Even though they could die he still liked to compete. "You run like you played something at school. It doesn't matter though I'm still gonna beat you." He ran at full speed not knowing where the tunnel went. @Light


Clare picked up Skylar and her scythe and tried to keep up with the rest of the group but was slow and hanging back with RJ and Clark because of all the weight. She was to focused to talk and ignored Clark when he asked if she needed help.

"Yeah my brother is over there." Ruby points to Castiel who has already entered the tunnel. She takes Leo's hand and stands up, looking into the tunnel others have run into. "Wow...they must have some type of super speed. I guess we should get going ourselves?" Ruby begins to lightly jog, not even trying to go at the speed Juniper and Zalena were going at since it would be a failed attempt. Though Juniper seemed to be going very fast, much faster than the hyperactive girl. "Drugs, must be drugs." ( @CelticSol @King Crimson )

RJ was up all night working on his little project. When people started to stir he put his things away and git ready. It wasn't hard to stay up and having insomnia was definitely an aid. He didn't question that girl about what she almost did and decide to ask later. When everyone started heading out he tried to keep up after waking Clark and Grace. Clark stayed with RJ to make sure he didn't fall behind while Grace caught up with the group. "Why are we being shot at?" She wasn't talking to anyone in particular she just wanted to know why.


Marshall woke up when the bell went off and got dressed when he heard gun shots he started to move too. He saw one of the girls sprint past and thought a nice morning run would help warm up his legs. He started running up to her and eventually passing with a mad grin because he was having fun. Even though they could die he still liked to compete. "You run like you played something at school. It doesn't matter though I'm still gonna beat you." He ran at full speed not knowing where the tunnel went. @Light


Clare picked up Skylar and her scythe and tried to keep up with the rest of the group but was slow and hanging back with RJ and Clark because of all the weight. She was to focused to talk and ignored Clark when he asked if she needed help.

Habiba turns to lock the door once Ruby and Leonidas run through the doors, and spots police throwing open the basement door. One notices Habiba on the other side of the door, and shouts the order to open fire. A rain of machine gun fire hits the door as Habiba slams the door close, but she feels a bullet tear into her bicep as she pulls the door shut to lock it. She yelps, clasping her hand over the wound. At quick inspection tells her no artery has been ruptured, but it was a direct shot and blood is steadily soaking through her clothes, and she can feel that the bullet is still lodged underneath her skin. Blinking back tears of pain, she grabs one of the pistols off the wall and looks back to Leonidas and Ruby, whom are the farthest behind, "I will hold them off! There is a ladder at the end of the tunnel; the cars are at the top!" 


Leonidas furrows his brow in concern, spotting the blood dripping off her hand, but nods, "Thank you," He murmurs, not even sure Habiba caught what he said, before he picks up Ruby and throws her over one shoulder, doing the same to Ree in his other, and breaks off into a sprint down the tunnel. Once he's close enough to see Austrianna's back, he hears the door at the beginning rip open and gunfire breaking out at the end. His hearing picks up the sound of a strangled female cry, and Leonidas stumbles, breaking stride ever so slightly before he picks it up again. When he reaches Austrianna, his eyes seem dark, the set of his mouth grim, "We need to move quickly; police are in the tunnel."


Eppie, with her hearing, picks up the gunshots, and her eyes go ever so slightly wider as she looks at Leo in dawning realization, for once speechless.

Juniper reaches the ladder and climbs up without hesitation. She sees the three cars and gets in the driver's seat of one, noticing the keys on the passenger seat. All her mother did was collect cars and race down at her track. Due to this both her siblings and herself were experienced with cars. This car wasn't a GTR Alpha 12 but it was still a car. Juniper seemed to retain the skill behind the wheel but had no memories of moments driving. She didn't have the time to ask Austrianna exactly how good of a driver she was so she simply unlocked the door and sat patiently. She had left her things in the trunk and left it open for others to toss their things in. 


Austrianna set Eppie in the passenger seat of the second car. She sets both her own things and Eppie's things in the trunk and sits down in the driver's seat. She glances over to the car Juniper was in and squints. It was slightly scary but she had confidence that Juniper could still drive the way she used to. After all she was the most eager to drive. Juniper used to be so much like their mother and Austrianna could only hope that Juniper could find herself. Austrianna left the doors unlocked in the car so others could quickly get in. She quickly sends a text to both Juniper and Zalena to make sure and follow her lead. After she sends the text she sets up her GPS to give them the fastest route to Naama. 


Zalena was tired but it didn't stop her for getting in the third car and starting it up. She looks through the car in hopes of finding sunglasses. Once she does a sigh of relief escapes her lips and she puts them on. She had to hide her eyes for now and try not to talk. She left the car unlocked and the trunk open so the others could throw their things inside. Zalena recieves the text and nods her head, already having faith in her sister. Now all they had to do was wait.

Castiel


Castiel was still half asleep as he lazily walked through the tunnels, almost everyone overtaking him, but he quickly woke up as he heard the nearby gunshots and Habiba yelp right after a gunshot; He had heard the other gunshots before, but didn't really think much of them and quickly brushed the to the side as he was engrossed in his own thoughts when they happened. Castiel quickly picked up his pace and ran towards the end of the tunnel. 'Why is everything going so badly?! I just can't catch a break today... Why am I saying this is all bad for me? I'm not the one who got shot..'  Castiel shook the thought from his head and just focused on getting away.


He looked at the choice of cars and drivers and ended up choosing the car with Juniper as the driver; He didn't really want to be in a restricted space with Zalena for however long and Austrianna didn't really seem like a good choice either as well as the fact that Juniper was the closest as well. Castiel threw his bag into the back of the car, before getting in the passenger seat next to Juniper and giving her a small smile, unsure of what to say, Castiel just looked towards the floor of the car and went back to his thoughts. 'I.. I don't think I can deal with this... I volunteered to be a leader though... I can't just leave because I can't handle it; I doubt everyone is doing fantastically right now... Though they didn't get bit by their friend...'

Mary


Mary was terrified as she heard gunshots behind the half closed door, she picked up her pace and started sprinting as fast as she could towards the exit, still clutching her bag tightly to her chest; She wasn't as fast as Juniper or even as fast as Zalena, but she was still ahead of a couple of people. Mary was horrified that the people who were there to protect them, were trying to hurt them. 'Why would the police be trying to kil-... Kill us? They only do that to really bad people, don't they? We're not bad people!' Mary wasn't sure what to think anymore, since it was turning out that everything she knew was wrong; She started questioning if what her mom and dad had told, was wrong, since the police didn't seem to be good people.


Mary got into the furthest away car that was driven by Zalena, since she thought it'd be best if she left the closer cars open for people to get into, since it seemed like they had to move quickly. Mary climbed into the back of the car and put her bag on her lap while she strapped herself in; She was still hugging the bag to her chest, wishing it was her mom or dad she was hugging instead; Mary was frightened of what had just happened and what it meant, because the one group of people she thought she could always trust had just tried to shoot her. She started silently crying into her bag, as she buried her head into it.

Clark heard the shots and the girls yelp and turned back. He wouldn't help much offensivelybut at least he could help. In his mind all he want to do was turn back around but if he did the girl would die. He ran back to her side and made a shield around the two to stop the bullets. He have himself an injection and started to heal her arm. The bullet was pushed out as it healed. He wasn't used to this and doing both drained him and his shield wouldn't hold forever. "Hey I know this isn't what you wanted but we got like a few minutes at the most before my shield breaks do you have any plans?" He said shield but it was more of a wall blocking off the two from the police.

RJ picked up the pace and was fok lower by Clare as they climbed the ladder. RJ went into Zalena's car and Clare went to Juniper's car after both dropping their things in the back. Clare set down the now awake and terrified Skylar and sat in the back with her. "Hey thanks for grabbing the ride."


RJ looked at the driver through the mask. "You look familiar. Thanks for the ride by the way."

Marshall followed Mary and went into the car after putting his things in the trunk. He noticed her crying and felt bad. "Hey its ok not every cop is a bad guy. And there would be good cops if the government wasn't as bad as it is. Things will get better and we'll fix it."


Grace went into the car with Austrianna. "Hey thanks. So do you have any clue why this is happening?" She looked around for her brothers but only found RJ. She almost went back before RJ gave her the thumbs up saying things are ok. This was of course a lie to keep her calm. @Light

Ree watched the chaos unfold in a helpless, stunned horror from the vantage point of Leo's shoulder. Once there, she climbs off and turns back to the entrance of the tunnel and then back to Austrianna with apprehension painted on her face .


"W-We...Are we just going to leave her behind?"

Austrianna shakes her head and sighs, even if this seemed cruel they had to go. "She's dead already Ree. If we don't leave then her death would be for nothing. I honestly don't know why this has happened but we can't stay to find out." Once everyone had gotten in a car Austrianna had the trunk close and locked the car doors. Zalena and Juniper followed these actions and took off after Austrianna. The three sisters wasted no time taking off in the cars Austrianna was following her phone's GPS while the other two were following her. Austrianna was seriously pushing it with the speed since she had to stay ahead of Juniper, who naturally picked up on their mother's driving. Knowing this Juniper would never be the type to drive slowly even if she's forgotten the urge to drive fast would refresh. From here on out it was a straight road for at least a half hour before they reached Naama. "We have a half hour journey until we reach Naama. I never got to inform Zalena of what we saw but I will when we get there. For now I just need to keep this steady pace and make sure Juniper doesn't pass m-" That's exactly when the car Juniper was in shot past Austrianna despite her efforts of going at 94 MPH. Austrianna sighs and begins to push more on the gas so she could accelerate at a steady pace to catch up to Juniper. 


While Austrianna was doing this Zalena shot by her as well, causing her to actually groan in frustration. It was because they were doing whatever the hell they wanted to and because she was being beaten. Austrianna begins to pick up even more speed to catch up to them. Once she aligned herself with Zalena's car enough she rolls down her window and begins to yell. "We're heading to Naama, I'll tell you why later. Try not to push it too hard, we don't know if these cars can handle this." Austrianna rolls her window back up and decides on allowing  Juniper to handle herself with the car. She should be fine with the health of the car but telling her to slow down would only pressure her. At this rate they'd make it to Naama much faster than a half hour. Austrianna didn't even think on trying to beat Juniper and settled for at least shooting past Zalena. She didn't want to damage this engine in an attempt to get first place. Last year when she tried to race Juniper down at the family track she ended up wrecking the ZR1's engine and barely came close to a tie. Even with the cars 3 second 0-60 timing. Even if it was a different personality the skill still seemed to be there so Austrianna wasn't taking her chances. "Is everyone alright?" She was clearly talking to everyone in the car as they slowly grew even with Zalena.


Juniper had a smile that she didn't even know she had on her face when she was staying in the lead. She figured they were going to Naama and had set up her own navigation to get there as well. Juniper had two cars-worth of distance between herself and Zalena. Juniper rolls down her window to let the wind flow through her hair so she could feel exactly how fast she was going. Muscle memory was carrying Juniper through a lot of this race while she experienced the rare feeling of happiness she felt when running. Her heart began to beat much faster and made the usually sluggish and cold blood within her body actually move at a normal rate. She decides to talk to those in the car but doesn't turn her head to them so she could stay focused. "How are you two doing?" 


Zalena decided not to say anything due to fear of alarming others with her obvious fangs on both her top and bottom row. She just stays silent with the sunglasses on and continues to drive. With as much effort as she should use in a car like this she at least tries to keep the front of the car ahead of Austrianna's.

Castiel


Castiel wasn't exactly comfortable with the speed they were going and the fact that they, he and most likely everyone else was forced into a Street race. He looked over at Juniper, to ask her to maybe slow down a bit so that if they did crash, he wouldn't be turned instantly into a bloody pulp, but he stopped when he saw the smile on her face. 'She looks like she's having fun... Maybe I shouldn't complain.. Though I am the leader of the group.. I should stop anyone from doing something dangerous and getting hurt.' Castiel looked out the side window of the car, then after seeing how fast they were going, he looked right in front of himself and then towards the floor of the car. 'Though.. We're not really in that much danger.. and no one else seems to be complaining about it. I'll let it continue, no need to ruin everyone else's fun, just because I'm scared... It doesn't seem like we'll get that many fun moments anyway'  


When Juniper asked how they were doing, Castiel quickly looked up at her and smiled before looking back at the floor of the car. "I'm fine, Just not really into the whole 'going really fast' Thing... Don't slow down just because of me.. The faster we get there, the better, right?" Castiel lightly drummed his fingers on his thigh, not really sure what to do or say at the moment; He'd hadn't really been in cars that often and he'd never gone as fast as they were going currently and he couldn't really say he enjoyed either aspects of it.

Mary


Mary looked up at Marshall and gave him a small, sad smile before going back to hugging her bag and looking down at the floor, still crying, though not as much; Mary was mainly crying over the fact that she could've been hurt and someone did get hurt, by people that her parents had told her she could trust if no one else was around, it made her feel lied to and wished her parents were there to explain it to her and make her feel better about it, which only served to remind her that they were gone; She appreciated the fact that Marshall was trying to make her feel better though. "I-I know.. We'll make everything better and g-get our mom and d-dads back, R-Right?"

Epsilon, though shaken by Habiba's loss, does as Eppie does and  stuffs it down under a layer of distraction and bravado. It's what she's always done; when she went to juvie, she took the whole thing with prideful smirk, she thinks about what people will think, how her reputation will be that much better, and ignores the stinging wounds her mother's sharp words had left on her heart. 


So she focuses on the driving, rather than thinking about how the woman who gave her life to protect them. She grins wide, though it shakes and is not as broad as it normally would be. She whoops during the sharp turns and laughs when they hit break neck speeds, but if someone knew Eppie or paid close attention, they'd know her heart wasn't really in it. 


Leonidas, seated in the back of Zalena's car, rests his head on the back of the driver's seat, shoulders shaking and his breathing ragged like he could barely breathe.

Even with the cars 3 second 0-60 timing. Even if it was a different personality the skill still seemed to be there so Austrianna wasn't taking her chances. "Is everyone alright?" She was clearly talking to everyone in the car as they slowly grew even with Zalena.


Juniper had a smile that she didn't even know she had on her face when she was staying in the lead. She figured they were going to Naama and had set up her own navigation to get there as well. Juniper had two cars-worth of distance between herself and Zalena. Juniper rolls down her window to let the wind flow through her hair so she could feel exactly how fast she was going. Muscle memory was carrying Juniper through a lot of this race while she experienced the rare feeling of happiness she felt when running. Her heart began to beat much faster and made the usually sluggish and cold blood within her body actually move at a normal rate. She decides to talk to those in the car but doesn't turn her head to them so she could stay focused. "How are you two doing?" 


Zalena decided not to say anything due to fear of alarming others with her obvious fangs on both her top and bottom row. She just stays silent with the sunglasses on and continues to drive. With as much effort as she should use in a car like this she at least tries to keep the front of the car ahead of Austrianna's.

Epsilon, though shaken by Habiba's loss, does as Eppie does and  stuffs it down under a layer of distraction and bravado. It's what she's always done; when she went to juvie, she took the whole thing with prideful smirk, she thinks about what people will think, how her reputation will be that much better, and ignores the stinging wounds her mother's sharp words had left on her heart. 


So she focuses on the driving, rather than thinking about how the woman who gave her life to protect them. She grins wide, though it shakes and is not as broad as it normally would be. She whoops during the sharp turns and laughs when they hit break neck speeds, but if someone knew Eppie or paid close attention, they'd know her heart wasn't really in it. 


Leonidas, seated in the back of Zalena's car, rests his head on the back of the driver's seat, shoulders shaking and his breathing ragged like he could barely breathe. 

Ree nervously clutched her arm and let out a long, shaky exhale as she looked at the states of her comrades.


"I-I think it's safe to say everyone's pretty rattled right now..Everything is just moving so fast, y'know?"


Ree turns to Ruby and sympathetically asks


"How are you and the team mascot holding up?"

He really didn't care as they sped up.In fact, he wanted to go faster. He kept looking outside, or occasionally trying to see the speedometer. He wanted to hit 200, that would be fun. But alas, he doubted that would actually happen. Instead he sat bored, just staring at everyone else. God this had turned out to be boring! All he wanted here was power, and what the hell were they doing? Driving? Boring. About now he kinda wanted to cause some stuff...just for fun...but nobody was saying anything! He would wait for his time.

The Arrival
​

( Since Taz is busy and the others are doing who knows what I'll count this as enough posts to continue. )
​

Juniper felt a little bad about scaring Castiel with the speed but because of him mentioning arriving faster she didn't slow down. He was right there but it wouldn't stop her from feeling bad about forcing her fun upon others. "I'm sorry for going so fast though, I wont do it again next time." 


Zalena didn't turn her head but decided to at least say something to Mary to cheer her up. "Yeah! We're gonna beat all the bad guys and then we're going to save the world and our parents. It'll be sooooo cooool!" Zalena chuckles at her enthusiasm but feels something at the back of her seat. She looks in her rear view mirror and notices Leo shuddering behind her. "Whats up buddy? The police can't get us here and Habiba is holding them off. Besides, you're driving with me the worlds best 15 year old driver." Zalena was at the end of the tunnel with Juniper when Habiba got shot so she didn't know it happened yet. "Turn that frown upside down and smile!" 


Austrianna takes note of what Ree said and turns to Eppie. She didn't want to point out the obvious in the car with everyone else so she decided to save it for later. Austrianna was trying hard not to let what happened affect her. She had to stay strong for her siblings at all times so they could at least have someone to turn to when in need. If she allowed herself to express and release her own emotions then they'd have no one to turn to. If it meant bottling up sadness, stress, and other negative emotions for their benefit then she'd do it. She wouldn't forget the gravity of what Habiba did but she couldn't let it shake her.


Ruby didn't know how to respond since she was so sure she could have a sassy attitude about this entire adventure. "I....I just....I don't know." Ruby hugs Porkchops and stares down at the ground to avoid the eyes of Ree. Since they were speeding they made it to Naama much faster than the anticipated half hour. They were surprisingly stopped at a heavily guarded town border since all of Naama was an anti-monarchy town. A guard walks over to Juniper's car since she was the first to pull up and begins to question them. Honestly Juniper didn't know what to say other than explaining most of what she saw in the vision. "I-I know this seems hard to believe but we were sent to Morocco with this woman telling us that we're the chosen ones who would overthrow the monarchy and save the world. We started off in Morocco, helped this guy named um...Brundyn, and left with the support of the resistance from um..there. Most of us saw this vision-which sounds crazy but this vision had this guy named Frederick Augustine. He said that he would send his armies through the celestial jungle to wipe you and the resistance in Morocco out by tomorrow. That's all I know so if we could um..." Juniper was losing her edge and began to look down towards the steering wheel. "See your leader that would be nice, please." Juniper only had the confidence to say as much as she did she did because of the previous joyride.


The man did recognize the name Brundyn but still couldn't take their complete word for it. "Alright, follow me. I'll take you to the second in charge...he can tell if you're lying." The man gets on a motorbike and moves at a regular pace ahead of them. Juniper exhales from the released tension and drives after him. Zalena and Austrianna follow after her and continue doing so until they pull up a tower. All four people park their vehicles and step out to meet one another. "You and your group may follow if you wish or they can stay in the car, the choice is theirs." He begins to speak out loud so they others could hear him through the open doors. "You can either follow us to the thiry-eighth floor or stay here until the second in command is done talking. The choice is in your hands. Entering with weapons is forbidden and we will know if you are lying." There seemed to be something the man was referring to in the last part about lying. Juniper, Zalena, and Austrianna close the doors behind them and enter the building alongside the man. With caution they keep a certain amount of distance away from him and join him in the first elevator.

Spoiler

Diego can't remember what happened between the point that the officer struck his face for entrance and accidentally ripped off Rashida’s rune, to the point he had chains wrapped around every part of his transformed body, wolf-like jaws wrapped around the throat of the same officer as a woman’s singing voice cut through the haze of his blood rage like ice water through sleep. When his transformation fell to pieces at the hands of the spell, the chains restraining him were tightened to hold his smaller limbs, and he was forced to deal with the humiliation of nakedness for ten minutes, ankles, wrists, and neck chained together at his waist and forcing him to hunch into the ground as the cops waiting for word on the squad sent after the children. His transformation having ripped his clothes apart, he is forced to stand the various sneers of some officers before someone takes mercy and throws a shock blanket over his body, which he takes with as much glaring and sourness as he could muster.


The Monarch Agent stands in stark contrast to the police - where the police are modern, holding assault rifles and wearing Kevlar with hair shorn short or tied up, the Agent is something out of a novel, spell book tucked under an arm, long dark hair loose and curled, black robes decorated with what looked like extensive enchantments. Most prominently, emblazoned on the back in white, is what appeared to be an emblem of some sort of faction; a stylized skull over a pentagram, the number eight scratched into the forehead of the skull. What fazes him is not the symbol, but the fact he has never seen it before; there are few factions he does not know about, especially when it comes to the monarchies, but the fact there were some that slipped through the cracks of any of the rebellions network of spies was worrying.


He is snapped from thought as he spots someone walking in his direction. He is unable to lift his head properly to see their identity, but snarls nonetheless at the booted feet as they draw close, which does little to dissuade them from coming close. They kneel down before him, unbothered by his blatant hostility as they unbuckle his neck from his wrists and ankles, and he is able to lift his head and finds the Agent staring down at him. The only thing that's changed about her since they arrived is that she switched out the ancient spell book for a file.


He growls as slim fingers grip his chin and forced his face up, and when she speaks, Diego doesn't even have to see her face to know she is smirking, “Been a while since I saw a bona fide werewolf…” Releasing his chin as he snaps at her fingers, she stands straight, gesturing to a few officers that pull Diego into an upright, sitting position. He thrashes for the sake of being difficult, but the officers hold strong.


The Agent pops open the file, pale lavender eyes flicking from the papers to Diego’s face, “A couple of the officers found your I.D.; somewhat ripped up, but still enough to read your name. Fake name, but a few calls later and I've finally got a name for your face,” She makes a show of reading the file, but it sounds like she's practically memorized it, “Legal name, Diego Ramirez, but you were born as Deidra Santiago, weren't you? Way back in 2017, to a pair of Pentecostal, New Mexico missionaries. Moved to Cairo in 2026 to serve the poor with your parents and spread the love of God- ain't that sweet? Stayed there for 3 years until the monarchy executed your parents for treason for harbouring Rashida Devan after she triggered the Ramadan Riots. Somewhere along the way, ‘Deidra’ became ‘Diego’, and then you vanish without a trace after Rashida Devan magically escapes prison,” She snaps the file closed, looking down at Diego with a knowing smirk as she passes the folder to someone else.


She crouches down before him, her hands wrung together, spell circles tattooed proudly in black across her palms and the backs of her hands, dark scars covering the tattooed flesh, which appear to travel up the length of her arms. Blood mage, he thinks, and part of him feels cold with fear.


One of her index fingers taps a rhythm on the back of one hand, black painted nails contrasting with the paleness of her skin. “I'm not gonna lie to you; this is a really  bad situation for you. We've got evidence of you involved in a lot of things that should get you executed right now, but adding this? Well, you've now got yourself up to your elbows in the middle of a conspiracy to kill King Augustine. But I'm in a good mood today, so I'm going be nice and I'm going to make this really easy for you, Diego; tell me where those kids are going, and I'll let you free.”


He knows that this is an offer from a monarchy agent, and it is likely she is lying. The Monarchy Agents didn't get a reputation as corrupt and violent psychopaths for no reason. There's no counting how many people she might have tortured, killed… Even so, as much as Diego is ashamed to admit, he considers it a second. He doesn't really know these people, and this is freedom in exchange for simple information. Otherwise, he can be charged for treason, easily. Very easily. Then in short order, he's tried by a corrupt court, he is charged, and he gets hung or beheaded in the main square, just like his parents did, knowing Rashida would be watching somewhere in the audience of jeering merchants and upperclassmen.


But… Rashida emphasized bravery and honour, and protection of innocents and civilians over all else whenever possible - after all, they lived in a world where the protection of the police depending on the money in your wallet and the colour of your skin, so didn't someone have to protect the people that got left behind? These are children. He had even spotted some of the faces in the crowd of kids who looked as young as 13. A group of complete innocents he'd be handing over to this agent, to the monarchy he hated and vowed to tear to the ground. Like hell.


He could've articulated that point. But it was a hell of a lot more satisfying to snarl “Go fuck yourself,” lean toward, and spit square into her face.


The Agent rears back, wiping her face of saliva in disgust as she stands. The anger is so clear, in the way her hands shake with barely restrained rage as she turns halfway, about to walk away, but she spins when Diego hisses, “Witch,” venomously. She kicks him in the face so hard teeth fall out, and it throws him to the ground with a surprised grunt of pain. It hurts a hell of a lot more than he expects, the strength in the hit exponentially more than he had thought it would be from a woman her size. Still, the fact he got under her skin enough to shake composure forces a laugh from his mouth as she grinds his face into dirt with her foot, giving her a broad, bloodied grin.


“Fucking mutt,” She hisses as she pulls out a vicious looking dagger out of her pocket, but before she can put it to her own skin, a phone coming from her pocket rings a standard tone, bringing her to a stop. Shoving the dagger back into the holster, she grabs the phone from underneath her cloak and holds it to her face, snarling, “What?” Into the receiver.  He can barely make out the buzzing from the other end, much less decipher what is being said, but whatever is being said, it causes the anger in her demeanour to bleed away at the words. By the time she hangs up, with a short, “I'll handle it,” she seems almost content.


She looks to Diego, seeming smug, “Cairo, huh?”


Diego feels his blood run cold, fear curling in his stomach. Who got questioned? Who told? His fear must've shown, because her smugness seems to grow.


She walks up to him, patting his cheek affectionately, “Maybe I don't need you for the children anymore… But I'm sure we've got plenty more to talk about, don't we, Diego?” She makes a gesture towards Diego, and he hears an officer come up behind him.


Just before he is struck unconscious, she grins a wide, savage smile.
