The slime’s bodies shot back, slamming into the others. Sabina shot off after it and grabbing it by the head she drew it back midair and slammed it into the cement while still moving, dragging it a few feet before they came to an abrupt stop. She pulled its head to the final removal, when she was done she tossed it over her shoulder.
“Damn her for rushing,” Oye complained, chasing after her.
Soon the other witches quickly made their way over the side of the building. Lanias started to move when a strong hand held herin place. She paused then looked back to see Alek at her side.
“You don’t have to do this alone.” Alek said, his eyes full of something Lanias knew well.
Worry.
With a groan he pulled her into his arms. “I want to stop you, but I know I can’t.”
Lanias grinned against his shoulder, “Then don’t, join me instead.” She pushed back, looking up at him. “Help me. I’m asking you to help me defeat my demons.”
He bared his fangs, removing his arms, he clasped her hand.
“Gladly.” He turned to Malcolm and Eliza, who’d walked over to the Werewolf’s side. “Keep safe and let me know once you’re able to get in contact with Raijin.”
“Will do,” Malcolm assured him.
Alek took Lanias’ hand, together they stepped over the railing and fell out of sight.
Let’s play
“Argh,” Raijin shouted as he pushed against a piece of wall that was being bombarded from above.
“Come on monster, Submit,” Slo shouted from overhead. The orange light filled the night as he attacked. He spun midair slamming his foot into the wall with enough force to make it crack. “Stop hiding!”
Raijin cursed, as he gritted his teeth. The few who’d safely hidden behind him were halted from trying to run away. He braced himself as the Surrem drew back. Seeing his chance, he used all his strength to launch that piece of wall high into the air. Just in time to catch the Surrem’s widened gaze in shock, drawing back his arm he made a fist and launched it through theair slamming it into the face of the Surrem, he heard the sound of breaking bones and flesh, he pushed as hard as he could.
The Surrem flew back, slamming into a building across the street.
“Shit, these guys are persistent,” Castian shouted, smoothly moving to the side as he escaped another lunge. His familiar, transformed and restructured above him turning into two cats. He twirled his cane in his hand, as he drew his hat up, he shouted. “Go!”
The two large metallic cats shot out, attacking Lrik.
Tightening his hold of his cane he brought it down hard against the ground, watching as spikes exploded from the ground aiming for the creature. The Surrem’s body lurched as three of the spikes reached their mark.
Tossing up his cane, Castian manipulated the spikes to turn midair and aim down. The spikes fell stabbing The Surrem through the back.
The Surrem hit the ground, his body completely riddled with iron spikes.
“Now, stay down,” Castian growled, turning in time to slip into the shadows when another Surrem attempted to attack him from behind.
“Dammit.” He reemerged near Raijin. “This is getting to be a bit much, don’t you think Ogre?”
Raijin had already lost his jacket and removed his mask. His skin was bright red, and eyes were burning with a murderous light. “I agree.”
Just as he said this, a body slammed into the ground next to him. Roni coughed, pushing up from the ditch the force of his body hitting the asphalt created. He groaned. “Damn, they’re strong.”
The sound of wrenching metal left Castian cursing. “Please, tell me that’s not the bug I just pinned.”
They watched as the Surrem pulled the iron spikes from its body before standing tall and releasing a loud roar.
Then it turned its enraged glowing eyes upon them again.
“The Council has agreed to send some help our way,” Tiller said, coming from behind them. “But only if we agree to handle these ones alone.”
“That’s what you’ve been doing this entire time?” Castian nearly screeched in disbelief. “Having a fucking meeting.”
