There was little traffic, as usual on this road, but across the street, he saw his sister, and the empousa getting ready to make the killing blow. Aadam pulled out his sword that was originally wrapped in cloth to look like a makeshift bookbag, it's celestial bronze blade glinting in the sun. It will be easier to kill one while they are distracted, and both if possible, he decided, running across the road to get to them, causing more than one or two cars to swerve and the driver Blair the horn or curse angrily. As soon as he was across though, he lunged at the nearest empousa with his sword aimed at her back. If successful, she would evaporateninto dust. If not, well, shSe and her friends would either drain him and Desire oft their blood. |
Desire's eyes landed on her brother, Aadam, whom had miraculously appeared out of nowhere. She realized that staring behind the empousa would probably give away her sibling's position and focused her eyes on the empousa, deciding to give stalling a try. "So, um, what's your name?" she inquired plainly, staring at one of the empousa. "Kora," she replied, sneering. Desire nodded, responding with, "That's a nice name." The empousa glared at her but didn't say anything, thankfully. Hearing Kora's voice was like hearing chalk scratching on a blackboard to Desire. Simply wasn't pleasant, if you asked her. She glanced over at Aadam, willing him to slay them faster but knowing that he was doing the smart thing and being patient. She watched Aadam lunge towards one of the empousa. The female turned around swiftly but, unfortunately for her, the demon had been a tad too slow. She evaporated into ashes and left for Tartarus. Desire grinned at Aadam and gave him a thumbs up, but there was still another one of the monsters standing a few feet away from them both. She slowly, watching where she was placing her feet, walked towards Aadam. Desire paned heavily, her wounded leg stinging from all of the bruises whom decorated it. It wasn't the best looking sight, to be honest, but she leaned on her brother gently. The empousa snarled at them aggressively, and Desire made a nasty face back. "So, how about your name?" "Shishi," the empousa replied reluctantly. "Oh, I know someone named Shishi. Coolio." Desire responded. "So, um...…" Desire watched in slow motion as the empousa lunged at her viciously. Her life flashed before her eyes and she let out a small gasp.
