"If you really want a beautiful ride, you should ride my sister's form. She can take you flying with ease and will make you feel comfortable in the air." Shadow said. Well that's a low bar compared to the other experiences I've had as of late. Malaki grabbed a chair and sat down opposite Shadow. "Yes, my name is Malaki, and if you couldn't tell, I hate heights with a vengeance; no offense to Sky, obviously. So... how many others are coming to this house?" He looked around the house. It was the first house he would be staying in since his parents were tricked into shipping him off to Ibex all those years ago.

Nyx & Dakota || Mentions: Levushka, Cero (ind.)

Nyx waited as Levushka spoke with Cero, and glanced down at Kiril. She rubbed the feline's mane, her fingers running through his thick fur. She was glad he was alright, she felt bad for him, for he was carrying her when he carried her away. Lev had finished his conversatuon with Cero, and stood up, looking at Lev with concern. She had been listening onto his talk, and looked up to him in worry. "How are we going to get there while we only have-" she glanced to the clock on the table, her body aching, "in five minutes?" She bit her lip, and began fidgiting with her fingers, afraid and paranoid. "And how do we know if they won't follow us? I mean, they clearly know where we live, and know where to hit with two of us in the room," she said motioning to the fact a dead bird was chucked through their bedroom door.

Dakota looked at the broken window, and broke apart from the two, walking over to it with caution. "Hey.. erm, guys? I see somethi-" she was cut off with a series of rapid gunfire and Dakota immediately jumped back, falling on the ground, dragging herself backwords as she watched the entire window get blown up to nothing. "Its not even 4 yet, you assholes!" Dakota shouted, her fists coiled tightly. She stood up, dusting off the dust, and glass shards off of her, and growled. She could feel Nyx grabbing her shoulder, and twirling her around, "What did you see?" Dakota took a few moments to breathe, and looked at the two, "The house just across the street, has an identicle hole in their window likes ours," she glanced at their window, "like ours did. They was also a van parked out in the front, someone was in the drivers seat, and what I could see was what seemed to be a gun. And they did not like the fact I went near that window," she added, fiddling with her thumbs.

Nyx gritted her teeth, steadying her stressful breathing. "I suggest we get going then.." and she looked to Lev.

Glory had grabbed the kids, and was currently speedwalking down the stairs. Earlier, in the apartment, a bird was tossed through the window, and the message was horrid. They had less then 5 minutes to get out of there, and Glory had to get somewhere safe and quiet so she could shift and get them away. She was holding Dia in her arms currently, and Aztec was by her side, not daring to leave it. Behind her, she hoped Jackson was following.

"We need to get behind the hotel, and I can get us out of here," she began her heart was racing with paranoia, and she felt like she could collapse at any moment. They reached the end of the flight of stairs, and she bursted through the door, people looked at them, but she didn't give a shit. "Take a picture! It lasts longer," she hissed, shoving into a guy, pushing him to the ground. She heard angry shouts behind her, but she didn't bother to fight back. She needed to get her family out, now. Glory ran through the doors, once-speed walking, now running. She was running down the sidewalk, and hoped to see an alleyway to the back of the building. Unfortunately, she found nothing leading to the back of the hotel, but, there was an alley way.

It was filled with strange people, and she didn't dare to risk it. Glory rushed down the sidewalks, and through traffic. There was nothing she could do to keep them hidden, they were doomed. Then there it was, another dead bird.. the same color, species, even had something shoved down its throat, and it was located in front of a flower shop. And she slowed to a walk, walking to it. She grabbed it, and picked it up, a disgusted look on its face. And of course, it said that same thing, "Our lovely surprise awaits you all at 4PM... can't wait." Her hands shuddered, and she looked around for a clock, it was past 3:50, she knew that, but what was the time?

"Erm, miss?" She walked into the flower shop, founding what seemed to be the owner or a worker. She walked up to the lady, a rotting smell, eminating from somewheres. She nearly gagged, but held it in and walked up to the lady. "Do you happen to have a clock?"

Malaki: Mentions: Sky and Shadow

"Do me a favor Malaki, what does the house look like from the inside?" Shadow asked him. Does he not know what it looks like? That's odd. Malaki looked aroudn the house, sitting up from his chair to look around. "I mean, it kinda looks like any other house, other than..." Malaki laid his eyes on a painting, the painting being a picutre of two wings protecting several people from fire and destruction. I guess this painting is a way to symbolize that this is one of Cero's safe houses. I wonder if the other houses have a painting like this, or a variation of it. "We also have a paiting of a pair of wings protecting people... I assume it's a symbol to show that this is one of Cero's safe houses." Malaki finished speaking to Shadow, continuing to meander around the house since he had nothing better to do.
