[The woods]
(Continued from here)
I still really ain't sure where we are. We been walkin' ferrat least a couple hours now, but th'clouds've covered th'moon, an'I can't judge what time't might be. Long 'nough fer th'wound'n m'should t'clot over an' m'arm t'go stiff's old leather. Ain't much else I c'n say beyond'at.
Glass'n me ain't spoken much, partly cuz we's both burnt out, partly 'cuz we wanna stay's quiet's possible. I ain't seen neither'a th'bitches since I left'em trapped'n screamin', but I ain't gonna count us 's anywhere near safe 'til we's outta th'woods 'n safe in our beds.
Pause's we cross into a clearin'. "Any idea how much further we got t'go?" I says inna whisper.
[OPEN to those from the previous scene, and others should they choose]

Date: 2012-10-12 06:10 pm (UTC)"Where is it?" I ask her. "Where's the bullet, Syl?" It must be a bullet, with that sharp gun-smell in the air. I need to press on it, I remember that. My head feels thick and slow. "Stop talking and help her," I tell the people around us. I don't care what they think they're doing. "Or I'll hurt you all," I add, because it's the only threat I can think of. Her blood's all over me now, on my hands and my chest.

Date: 2012-10-12 06:30 pm (UTC)I shake my head, "But when you chased her through the woods and shot her- you made yourself as much of a villan as you think she is."
*Just shoot them both. Would just take a minute- say it was self-defense. Syl and the boy wuld never say a word of it. Just send away Chester first.*
Push down the urge as the boy speaks up- think he's the one who was staying at the Whitechappel. Don't even bother looking at him.
"Chester- get the Doc for us and get back here quick," leave me alone with the gut-wound I sure as hell can't help, a pair of zealots who'll attack me the second I take my eyes off 'em and a naked teenager.

"You got it, Boss-lady." Before I go, I nudge the back of Reed's leg with my paw, claws still out so's they can tickle her, "You ladies play nice now."
A quick fade puts me right next ta the Doc who's a hell of a lot closer than I figured.

Date: 2012-10-12 07:03 pm (UTC)"Hi Chester. Good job getting me." Give him a quick scratch to the head and a grin, then straighten up.
"Here, 'm here." I say, stepping out from my hiding spot, holding my hands up to show I am unarmed. "Was told there was someone hurt, headed out straight away." Look over to Micah. "Gotta let me see her, okay?" I half tell him, half ask him as I make my way over to Syl. I need to get to her, but if he goes ballistic, it'll make things worse. And I am still hoping not to get shot as I keep one eye on the mess Mab's dealing with.
