"The sewers..." Seryn pondered this option. "That would most likely work."

Myst tried to pull off the best growl she could, but if came out rather pathetic. She took the bits of plant anyway, changing back to a more normal color at the same time - if he'd eaten it, surely it couldn't be too bad.
She popped a peice into her mouth and squinched her face slightly. "A bit sweet for my taste."

"At this point, I don't think we have much of a choice. We could try and get out of town and go the normal way out, but I have a feeling that we would be identified. Personally, I'd rather not risk it," Derek said, after holding back a shudder. He couldn't get the image of all those dead people out of his mind. They were only a few feet away, but it sickened him.
"Let's go already,"he continued, ignoring the mental flashes of the Icaari in his mind,"I have a garage outside of town with some vehicles in them. We can use them..."

"Alright!" Seryn looked down the alley by the cafe. "There is a manhole down there, who wants me to fly them down first?"

"That won't be necessary, Seryn. I can get down myself," Derek said, but then he looked at the girl. She looked very tired. He could only assume how much energy she had spent getting rid of that shadow assassin.
Derek wasn't about waste time by asking things, the police were to close and so were they. Derek picked the girl up and jumped over the side of the building towards the manhole, grabbing a gutter pipe on the way down and repelling down toward the street. Fortunately, they were hid from the main road and couldn't be seen.
He winced on the way down, cursing himself.
'Why did I do that?' he asked himself as he got back down to the street and removed the manhole cover. He expected Seryn to be behind them....

Seryn was creating a fire in the cafe, not a extremely large, one, but big enough so that the police would be too distracted to look for anyone that might have been responsible. She ran around the side, smoke was already rising into the pale blue sky. "Let's go." Seryn said, helping the Ave into the hole in the ground.

"Thanks..." Arachna managed to say, smiling insanely, before passing out and falling to the ground with a loud thumping sound.

Derek sighed. He figured this was going to happen. That shadow figure was an assassin sent to kill this girl, and it seemed that the little skirmish had managed to severely drain her.He picked her up as he entered the sewer.
"Seryn," he said in loud whisper as to not cause an echo,"Close the lid on the way in. We have to move and fast."
There was an urgency in his voice that he could not explain. He knew his way around the sewer. He had used them as an escape route many a time, so the smell didn't really bother him.
This particular tunnel ran into the Tenesu river that flowed down from the Rai Mountains....
"Wait, the Rai Mountains. That's the direction that Icaari went with that chameleon girl," Derek said to himself as realization dawned upon him.
"If you wish to come with us, follow or take your own route. It doesn't matter to me, if you follow stay close. We won't be in here for long.
He steadied the girl in his arms and started to run. He and the girl couldn't stay in the sewers for too long with open wounds that had to be treated immediately.
He was grateful that he had medicine in a storage shed outside of town with his vehicles and that it wasn't to far from where they would emerge from the sewers....

After the group ran a decent distance from the manhole cover, the cover lifted up and the shadow climbed down into the sewer, then refitting the manhole cover into place. He then jumped down, and began to tread lightly, but quickly along the sewer corridors, following the group from a safe distance.

Seryn kept with Derek and Arachna. She couldn't just leave them by themselves in a place like this, wounded. Also... she glanced back, her sharp avian eyes picking out a dark movement far behind them. It might be an animal. It might not be.

It wasn't long before they came to the end of the tunnel and out onto a small beach where the sewer emptied into the Tenesu river. Derek bolted out of the sewers and paused to catch his breath for a moment, looking behind him to see Seryn.
'So, she decided to come,' he thought to himself moving along after catching his breath. The shed was a mere fifty yards from the sewer line, but hidden in a small grove of trees that extended just from the border of the city.
He walked up to the grove and set the girl down gently and removed a key from his pocket. He usually kept it padlocked just in case some exploring kids found his little shed. He unlocked the ten foot wide door and swung it open and preceded inside to fetch his first aid kit. Their wounds were nothing that it couldn't handle and he had mended far worse injuries that he had taken.
He reached inside a jeep that was one of his personal favorite vehicles and removed the kit and walked back over to the girl.
"Seryn, please help me with her," Derek asked over his shoulder,"Her wounds aren't that severe but I have to bandage them tightly to keep them form bleeding. I need you to hold the a cloth on the wounds while I bandage her...."

Seryn did as he asked, feeling a little emotionally drained. First the anger and sadness at the cafe, then the apprehension in the sewers... She wondered what would have happened if she had chosen the path of vengence after her people were slaughtered. It would have been the wrong desicion. she told herself firmly. Responding to violence with violence would only create a vicious cycle from which terrible things would come. Seryn had seen it happen to others, and her family would not be honored by the murder of the people responsible.

Derek worked as fast as he could. he was relieved to see that her blood clotted fast. She didn't really need to much attention to her wounds, however Derek felt that she had mentally exhausted herself. He wasn't sure if she could even still read his mind, the last thing this girl needed right now was to jump into someone's head while unconscious.
Derek finished dealing with the girl and looked over this new arrival. This one he didn't know what to make of. He thought he smelled smoke as he jumped into the sewer, but had the place caught fire?
"Seryn, tell me, did you set that cafe ablaze back there?" he asked as he began to bandage his own arm and stopped somewhat surprised at what he saw. He could see his muscles moving in the cut in his arm and just a slight whiteness that he knew to be bone. He knew he should have been hurting the entire time, but to not be able to feel this wasn't possible.
He quickly grabbed a needle and some thread from the first aid kit which he obviously modified for his own needs and began to sew up his wound and bandage it, all the while waiting to hear Seryn's reply.....

Seryn took a slow breath before answering. "Yes. It was to distract the police." Her child's voice annoyed her, but it was something she would outgrow in just a few years. So much can happen in just a few years. "I know it was wrong, it wasn't very big." Lame excuse.

Derek finished bandaging himself and threw his hat into the jeep. He always hated wearing hats. Derek looked at Seryn hard.
"How old are you?" he asked, a little suspicious of her.
"Look, never mind get into the jeep. We have to go. I don't know how long that thing will be confused," he said in an urgent tone.
"We have to get to the Rai Mountains," he continued as he picked up the unconscious girl, still not knowing her name and put her intot he backseat and got into the driver's seat himself....
