Hunting the Hunters (Aida/Erikur)

[Cassidy]

A rattling growl sounded in her chest, it was getting worse whatever they had done to her. Her eyes moved from one to the other has they themselves hunted. She knew they couldn’t hear her and she was down wind of them so she could smell them and they could not smell her. They were after something, some one, again. She growled again. Ensuring that she was behind them all her gloves checked, her talons long and menacing capping the ends of her fingers. She didn’t like the way she looked but she couldn’t let them do this to anyone else. The sledge hammer she found a couple miles down the way was thrown onto her shoulder as she moved; booted feet carrying her easily over the chosen terrain. Climbing up rubble she achieved a vantage point and continued from the high ground.

The men she had counted numbered ten in the visual which meant there were at least four head of her and their target, four that she couldn’t see and were not in the range of her sense of smell. Crouching low she watched only seeing a blurb of colour, another woman, why did they pick on women... The more she hunted them the more she found their targets to be women, either that or she was just lucky. Their weapons told her this was a Harvest mission which meant that whom ever this other woman was... was likely a half shifter or something. She smirked; she was their obvious mistake.

Cassidy was a project gone wrong. She hunted them as they hunted her and others. They were closing in on the other. Glancing around the rooftop she found herself on, she quirked her brow at a very curious sight. Was that a fridge? She smirked and moved towards it moving it as silently as she could she poised it just right, just as the telekinetic b*tch threw her powers into the woman to send her hurdling into a car that turned just right to cushion her. The fridge was shoved off with enough of a running impact that it was hurdled from the rooftop. Of course like the old cartoons depict Cassidy could hear the whistle of the large object falling but the target didn’t. Leaping from the roof she landed on the fridge. The fridge got a cushioned fall as it landed upon the TK woman, Cassidy told herself they were better off dead than believing the crap they were made to believe.

The sledge hammer was twisted around and slammed into another’s cheek that stood too close; a hound whose sense of smell would be assaulted by his own blood. She remained crouched feeling bones shift and slide back into place biting on her tongue to provide that distraction, her eyes moved to the other women they were hunting to ensure she was alright. Twelve of these bastards left... she was sure the clairvoyants already bolted seeing her suddenly drop from the sky; which meant it was only ten left the four in front of them and the six with guns. She had been shot at too many times... though she was sure they were not prepped for her bullets more likely the usual tranquilizers. Didn't mean they wouldn't hurt damn mosquitos.

[Aida]

Aida knew that someone or something had been following her. The hairs on the back of her neck stood on end before she tried to throw them off. The hood of her cape remained over her braids as she picked up her pace. Weaving inbetween buildings, those that were still standing and those that weren't. It was in doing this that she was able to catch a glance of those that were following her. Glaring at them she took off at a faster pace seeing weapons she wasn't used to seeing. Cursing under her breath that someone had told what she was she ending up coming to a blocked area she smacked her hands off the wall before looking for another exit.

Turning she kicked in a door that was locked of an abandoned building. Aida didn't care if someone was using the building for shelter she just needed to get through it. Running through it, the hood fell off of her head as she made it out to the street. She hadn't known how many people were following her until they all came pouring out of the building after her. Growling she took off running down the middle of the street. Then out of know where she felt herself pushed hard but not by hands. Her body was sent flying through the air from the telekentic push. Bracing herself to hit the ground or even a building she was suprised when she landed on a car.

Groaning she blinked a few times sitting up in time to see a falling refrigerator land on the woman that had caused her to fly through the air in such an unusual way. Then landing on top of the fridge was a women. Blinking at her she sat up, slowly pulling her feet underneath her on the crushed hood of the car as the odd looking woman swung around a sledge hammer with ease. Placing a hand on the back of her head she pulled it back to see blood, growling she pulled out two throwing knives as the woman smashed the face of one of the people after her.

Smirking Aida was liking this woman. Looking at the people with weapons she pulled out a throwing knife, twirling it in her hand. "What in the hell" she asked as she tossed the knife at one of the people after her. It sunk into the mans throat and she watched him fall. Slipping off the roof of the car she wasn't liking the odds that were there even with the woman's help. Aida didn't have that many weapons and well she wasn't invincible against guns.

[Erikur]

Erikur huddled in the shadows atop the ruins of a building. He had been following his daughter, Aida, by roof tops as she ran through the streets. Something was following her, or rather a group of something. He managed a quick look of the hurd before Aida had disapeared into a warehouse. He had to draw his attention back to his daughter to keep from losing her. She was momentarily gone from his sight but not his senses. He crossed the asphult roof of the warehouse just in time to look over the edge and see Aida reappear. Quick to follow her exit was the group, now chasing her.

Now, a glowing orangeish red ball of fire appeared in the palm of Erikurs hand and his eyes were began to glaze over in a copper hue as he observed Aida be shoved atop a car buy what only could have been a telekenetic force. "Mit Lille" The words left his lips on a wisper. It was not until the movement of the falling fridge caught his eye that Erikur noticed the female perched on a roof top adjecent to his. He could not help but smile as the appliance landed atop the TK women who had rushed Aida. A slight shock took over as the female who had just been on the roof landed atop the fridge and the womens crushed body, sledgehammer in hand.

His attention was drawn immediately back to his daughter as the matelic scent of her blood drifted to him. The flame incased in his palm turned white, nearly invisible to the naked eye, the hottest a flame can possible burn. Erikur's eyes, now fully coated in a copper glaze peered down at his daughter then to the small crowd gathering. The female with the sledgehammer was swinging away without any aparent problems. Making contact wit her targets. Keeping in his perched position, above the chaos and well out of sight, he watched as Aida drove a knife into an attackers throat.

He would hold back from reveiling himself for the moment. They were in danger, but it was not immediate. He watched as Aida and the mysterious female held their position. If things took a turn for the worse the human's didnt stand a chance. Erikur did not like killing humans, but when his daughters safety came into the mix he did not care what he had to do to protect her. With eyes glued to the scene unfolding beneath him, he decided to meddle in some other way.

With his emotions running high, Erikur was unsure if this particular power of his would work properly for him. He attempted anyway. Using his mind he picked up two of the men in the back of the group, levitating them in the air for mere moments before launching them towards each other. Erikur had intended for the two bodies to collide, instead they were launched into the sides of opposing buildings along the street. Shruging, Erikur turned his focus back to his daughter asuring himself that she was still reletively safe.

[Cassidy]

That copper tang of blood in the air would have been muddled by the other blood that Cassidy created which would keep the hounds unable to lock onto Aida’s true scent. Licking her lips however she locked onto it able to pick and choose them from the air. How she hated that, readjusting the hood over her head and the blonde locks she shifted slightly allowing one leg to drop so that her knee refitted into place more easily. The glint of metal caught her eye and she noticed it’s path right into the throat of another. “Nice shot.” She commented loud enough for the other to hear. Her other leg dropped and so the was sitting on the refrigerator for a moment as they stepped back. They were out of their TK for now but she knew there were others.

There was a pressure to Aida’s mind a voice that attempted to tell her that everything was ok, that they didn’t want to hurt her and that the other woman would. “Stop trying to F*** with people’s mind. It is not a nice thing to do. Victor got his throat ripped out for it.” A bullet rang through the air it’s path tearing through her arm blood leaked from her garment and she growled though to Erikur her blood would smell much like a potent blend something powerful; Dragon. The Telepath that was attempting this mind game was however lifted into the air and hurdled into a building along with a hound. Cassidy slipped closer to Aida. “Are you ok?” she asked through twisted a look at her arm. It was a flesh wound, no new blasted scales. “Did you do that?” she tried to motion to the places where the two men vanished. “If not that means another TK and I can’s tell the difference.” Cassidy’s eyes moved to the men that were left then sniffing on the air as the four that were ahead approached.

Her hands were curled into fists almost. “Eight of them... Bullets and tranqs...” Her eyes moved to the car then back to Aida “Are you strong by chance?” she pealed off the gloves that hid the golden scales of her hands and growled again. “Or maybe we should just run...” Cassidy pointed in the direction of the alleyway next to the building that Erikur was on and moved in that direction.

[Aida]

Aida would have liked to keep her attention on the female that seemed to be there to help her. Noticing the hood that covered her features she understood the urge to want to keep hidden in the open. She wasn't given the chance to study the woman as the ones that had been following her stood now infront of the two of them. Throwing one of her knives at one of the men in the group she smirked when it hits its target and the man's hands moved to his throat as he crumbled to the ground. Hearing the other woman's comment she smiled just glancing over at her not wanting to take her eyes off the attackers.

Then came the pressure, the voice which caused her eyes to narrow and growl. She had no idea who the males voice was as she slid down the hood of the car, her boots touching the broken pavement again. She would make her own judgement calls on who to trust and who not to trust. The womans voice cut through the air and Aida looked at her as she yelled to the unknown person.

Hearing the sound of a gun and the smell of blood she held her breath as she looked to the woman. They hadn't aimed at her only this mysterious hooded woman. The man's voice still hadn't let up as Aida tried to keep herself thinking for herself. The person was not giving up and then it just stopped. Shaking her head she eyed the other woman and nodded. "Fine" she grumbled. Not being in the best of moods from being followed, tossed into a car and then someone trying to control her mind.

Raising her eyebrow at the question she looked back at the people that were still there. "No, I can't do that" was her reply. It made her wonder who else was out there. Her eyes scanned the area before looking back at the woman. "I am strong yes..." her words trailed off as she looked at the car and then watched the woman remove her gloves. Aida's eyes narrowed at the look of them. "Car wont protect us for long and I doubt I can toss it that far..." she admitted before agreeing with Cassidy. "Running it is," she smirked and pulled out another throwing knife. They were hard to come by but her life was more important as she turned and tossed another one at the group of people hitting a female in the shoulder.

[Erikur]

After watching Aida exchange some words with the woman with her he was slightly surprised to see them turn to take off in a direction other than that of the mob coming toward them. Erikur practically crawled across the roof top, keeping his copper eyes on the roadway of the alley at the base of the building. He would follow Aida and the mystery woman as they ran from the following mob that was closing in on them. It infuriated him to no end that someones or somethings would find it prudent to harm his daughter. With his anger growing as he moved along above the alley he lashed out at those who followed beneath him.

In an attempt to force one of the bodies below to stop its pursuit, Erikur concentrated on his subjects torso. He focused to lift the body up with his mind. With emotions complicating his power now, only the bottom of the followers shirt raised, pinning the perpetrates arms in a mummy like encasement over his head. Disappointed at the failure to do as he had wished only caused his anger to increase. As his first subject thrashed around endeavoring to remove his hindrance, Erikur moved on to his next victim.

This time he turned his attention to what he decided was a female. Looking down on her with contempt and annoyance he concentrated on her legs. Using his mind he tried to force her feet to stop moving by mentally gluing them to the crumbling pavement. Much to his dismay, Erikur was only able to control one of the females feet. As she took the next step in her run her constrited ankle snapped and he watched in frustration as she feel to the ground screaming. At this point it was not a matter of stopping the pursuing crowd, he knew from the beginning he could do that quite easily, it was a matter of the inability to control one of his powers when his emotions clouded his mind.

His rage had reached its peak as he watched another follower use what appeared to be some make shift weapon on his daughter and the female with her. A set of some sort of glistening dagerish darts whizzed inches from the two girls. This had forced him well beyond all his limitations. As Aida and her counterpart ran past an old abandoned car and were nearly a hundred yards away when Erikur stooped and looked back at the persistent crowd following. As the group neared the forsaken vehicle Erikur narrowed his eyes. His body discharge a flair of energy and the car below exploded into blazing blue and crimson flames, narrowing the passage through the alleyway.

[Cassidy]

With Aida plainly telling her that what happened was not her doing Cassidy near coughed. That was not a good thing. Oh well they had friends... a friend some where. Nodding slowly now they were on the run again. Cassidy had to slow herself to allow Aida to keep up with her. There was a point in time when she paused to keep their target; Aida ahead of her, keeping Cassidy between them. It was then that the new contraptions that their chasers found themselves in caught her eye. One’s shirt swept up and over his head wrapping him up and stringing open his chest. Instead of running Cassidy found herself pausing every ten feet. It didn’t stop there she could hear the cracking bone of another and many of them paused even further when the car exploded. Now that Cassidy was not expecting. The concussive force sent her sliding back a couple feet her hands pressed over her ears, screaming and had her crumple to the ground as the hood fell back.

The Dragonic appearance of her features were plain as day even in the lighting, though against the firelight they were harder to see or some times exaggerated by the light that reflected off of them. Opening her eyes she set her sights on the blazing car and the people on the other side of it. Fearful for continuing their chase. Now there were fewer left and Cassidy was left with her other senses. Moving her hands from her ears she let her eyes fall to her bloody palms but didn’t risk making a sound though it hurt. Her eyes lifted to Aida and she stated strongly “Run... They are after you... your blood for the Baldur’s Projects.”

[Aida]

Aida felt like she was in a different world, a completely different place. She was used to being hunted and tracked but never by those so skilled as these people. Then the mysterious woman asking her such questions. Remaining honest with her in saying that she didn't have the telekinetic ability that whoever else had. She wasn't in the mood to sit and talk about it either deciding that running would be the best option as she valued her life more than she honestly showed. They ran, the other woman falling behind her which was confusing in itself. In a world where she grew up looking after one's self unless it was family but now like before wasn't the time.

Hearing the sounds coming from behind them she glanced over her shoulder at the group as they were slowly being taken apart by some unknown thing. Right then Aida took it as a blessing, giving them time to get away if the woman wouldn't have stopped. Aida wasn't extremely far ahead of the woman when the car exploded. She was taken off her feet landing hard on her back. The breath was taken from her for a moment as she rolled onto her stomach then looked back to the woman. Aida's eyes widened at her appearance, something she had been hiding before.

Pushing herself to her knees she wrapped an arm around her ribs moving closer to the woman. "Baldur Projects?" she asked then shook her head standing up to her feet with a groan. Taking a few steps from the woman she growled then turned around heading back to her. Helping her up she looked her in the eyes. "I am not leaving you so dont argue and move your legs"
