A random happanstance (berry)

Drak grit his teeth and looked at Uta. "Where."

Trance smiled warmly and lead Tian. "We aren't too far from the end at this point." Trance said looking back at Tian.

Uta looks at him and points over and starts over to the place. He stopped in front of a big old building. "Found it here.."

Tian nods her head and blinks looking up. "I sense some ghouls above.."

Drak looked over at the building. "That one?" Drak asked. He quickly ran over to the building before getting his question answered.

Trance blinked. "Then let's just try to be quiet, we aren't too far away from getting out of the city this way."

Uta blinks when Drak runs over without an answer. "Well have fun..."

A small spray paint arrow was on the ground next to the building.

Tian changes into her shinigami form nodding her head. "Yes.."

Drak goes into the warehouse when he sees the spray paint arrow.

Trance kept leading, they were finally at the end of the tunnel. "Alright, we're here."

Lou comes back and blinks seeing that Drak was missing. "Where'd he go?'

Spray paint lead him deeper into the building. A faint sound was heard from deep in the building.

Tian stops and gives Trance a charm. "Here."

Drak quickly went deeper into the building, not thinking about if it was worth really chasing or not.

Trance blinked and looked at the charm. "What's this for?" Trance asked looking back at Tian.

Faint screams could be heard deeper in the building down a long dark hallway with stairs at the end. One loud scream came from down the stairs. "DRAK!"

Tian smiles at her and pats her head. "It's for protection silly. I don't want you to get hurt. I have a feeling there could be a fight coming soon.. We were running from someone right? What if they were actually able to follow us?"

When Drak heard his name shouted he went into a full sprint down the hallway and down the stairs. Not even giving it a second thought as he ran.

Trance blinked and looked at Tian. "Yeah.. You're right." Trance smiled softly and took Tian to the ladder near the end of the tunnel that lead up outside the city. It didn't lead anywhere special, just an open field outside the city, but near a secret base too.

Yuuya laughs as he looks at Drak as he enters the room. He holds a knife to Xerna throat smirking. "Oh careful now Drak~ Don't want anything else to happen to him do you?"

Xerna blushes deeply looking at the ground embarrassed. Tears were running down his face and his clothes were torn and stained with blood. "Drak.."

Lou gasps and blinks looking around. "Suru!"

Tian smiles and looks around. "Hmm this is an interesting place. Will the others be here soon?"

Drak blinked and looked at Yuuya with a mix of surprise and disgust. He was going to go blind with rage seeing Xerna as she was now.

Suru was in the middle of a fight in an alley with a mugger, the mugger had randomly jumped him earlier, probably thinking he would be an easy target or something. Suru wasn't in any mood to fight like the mugger seemed to be though.

Trance looked around and nodded. "Yeah, I can't imagine that they're too far behind." Trance said covering up the exit that they came from. "We should head to the base before we get spotted here. It's outside the city, but it's still an open area."

Tian nods her head and jumps up throwing down some charms that goes out about a mile. "They'll help us know if an enemy is coming."

Yuuya smiles and laugh licking his lips. "What a nice look~ Would you like to trade your life for his?"

Xerna gasps and cries more. He shakes his head looking at Drak. "Don't do it!" He gasps feeling his hair getting pulled hard.

Lou goes straight to Suru. "Suru!"

Trance nodded. "Sounds like a good thing to have Tian." Trance smiled warmly.

Drak squinted and looked Yuuya. "How do I know you'd even hold up that deal?"

Suru gave the mugger a hard punch in the middle of the face, sending him flying far back into the alley before turning around and seeing Lou. "Oh, hey Lou. Find something?"

Tian smiles happily looking at Trance. She giggles and holds her hand.

Yuuya hums and smirks looking at Drak with interest. "Oh~ You'll really do it?" He chuckles and pulls on Xerna hair more making him cry out. "What? You mean you don't trust me? How hurtful~"

Suru gasps and blinks looking at Suru as he sees Suru punch the mugger. He smiles softly and nods his head. He starts to run to him and screams as he gets grabbed. "Suru!"

Trance smiled and held Tian's hand.

"It's not like I have any reason to trust you, you know." Drak said trying to keep his cool, seeing Xerna in pain was gonna send him over the edge if he wasn't careful.

Suru blinked when Lou was suddenly grabbed. He ran to Lou. "Lou!"

Yuuya chuckles and smirks. "That's true. You don't.. But I think it'd be fun to make this trade~"

Xerna whines and looks at Drak. "No please don't Drak.."

Lou yells as he gets pulled up in the air and starts to get pulled toward the shadows. "No!" His eyes start to turn red and the whites of his eyes start to turn black as he starts to turn into a ghoul.

Tian looks around and sighs. "I wish the others were here. Do you think their ok?"

Drak kept trying to keep his cool, he didn't want to lose control while Xerna was still here. "If you let Xerna go and let her out of here, then we might have a deal."

Suru blinked and watched Lou get pulled into the air, he wouldn't be able to jump that far up, even in his released form.

Trance kissed Tian. "I know... I'm sure they'll be here soon."

Yuuya hums and smirks looking at him. He chuckles and throws Xerna down and kicks him away. "See."

Xerna cries and runs over to Drak. He slumps down and whines. "Drak p..please don't."

Tian smiles and kisses her back. "Ok.."

Lou cries looking at Suru as his ghoul tails come out and the rips up whatever was holding him. He screams as he starts to fall. "Suru!"
