  1. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    Faith had to make her call before she could sleep. She was a light sleeper by nature, but all mortals needed sleep. That said, she could run on less at need than most people. She waited for Anne to not be watching her, and retreated to the bathroom. This was going to be a long conversation, and...
  2. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    Faith waited until Carl had left, then brought out the one device she actually had on her. It wouldn't stop people from eavesdropping through the door, but it would stop any listening devices. She kept her voice quiet to prevent anything that could be heard through the doors and walls indistinct...
  3. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    Holt retreived a Medkit from the cupboard beneath the sink. He opened it to reveal it's contents; penicillin, bandages, bandaids, a surgical sewing needle, sterilized pincers, and tape. Just what he would need to treat a bulletwound. "Alright, i'll need you to take that off." he said, hinting at...
  4. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    Faith considered the offer. She really didn't want to leave Anne alone, and understood her reasoning. If not for the simple fact that she didn't want Anne to see her swords, or Carl, or anyone unless she had no other choice, and if not for the fact that she'd been shot, she'd never have entered...
  5. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    "Yeah, alright. Just give me a couple seconds." Faith called back. She didn't really know what Clark had been looking for, or what he thought he'd found, but she had to make sure her blades were well hidden. The shirt she wore was part of hiding them, and lifting her shirt could expose the...
  6. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    Faith took Anne's hand and let her help her to the elevator as she tried to pretend it didn't hurt. She moved with all the confidence she could muster. It was her job, her duty to keep Anne safe, and she couldn't do that if she let her pain rule her. In the elevator, Faith tried not to wince as...
  7. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    Faith grinned at Anne. "You're doing fine, Anne." She said. Then she mused over what Carl had said. Clearly whoever he'd been talking too on his phone knew him, even if he did have to repeat himself to make whoever it had been realize it. Coded, instead of speaking plainly. However, the pain was...
  8. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    Faith glanced over at Anne, grateful the wound wasn't near her weapons. If it had been too low, Anne likely would have felt the hilts of the blades. It hurt, but that was better than bleeding out. "Hey, thanks for helping with pressure. And if I minded helping you out, I wouldn't have gotten...
  9. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    Faith didn't look in their direction. She was an archangel, and it wouldn't be the first time she'd seen bodies. And she knew her lack of response could give her away, so she looked away, only looking around when the alien came back. She heard him call out to Carl. But he didn't call him Carl...
  10. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    “I didn’t get hit anywhere that can’t wait until we get somewhere safe.” Faith said. She pushed herself up onto her knees, then, took Carl’s hand to help her get to her feet. Now that the adrenaline was wearing off, she realized just how much the wound hurt. Though she’d been through worse. It...
  11. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    Faith took off behind Anne, keeping her own body between Anne and the weapons. She moved faster than Anne could have, but Anne, with a head start made it out first. As Faith made her way toward the gate, she heard the gun shot and felt a pain in her side. She knew she'd been hit, but she kept...
  12. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    Faith watched with interest. They were smart, that much was clear. She kept deliberately between Anne and the men, even when Carl came over to intervene, she didn't move. Her eyes were dark and cold, waiting for their response. She kept her muscles loose, but she was still ready. Faith wished...
  13. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    Faith could have laughed in their faces. These two didn't know what they were doing. Or maybe they didn't care. They were close enough that she could take the man's gun before he could get a shot off. A gun's effective range actually went down the closer you were to someone. When it came down...
  14. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    Faith's eyes narrowed. She simply could not believe these people were admitting they were following the girls. She had to physically restrain herself from rolling her eyes. They could be competent, but for some reason were being obvious. Or they could be highly incompetent. She allowed her gaze...
  15. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    Faith was very aware of the fact that they were being followed. The men were sloppy. But she wasn't sure if it was intended or not. Some people wanted it to be known, to strike fear into the hearts of those they were pursuing. But it was stupid beyond belief. She felt her muscles tense in...
  16. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    Faith looked in the direction she saw Anne looking. She nodded, minutely, and murmured, "I don't know why, buy they aren't following us in the car anymore. They aren't especially good either. Either that or they wanted to be seen. But I don't know why they'd want that." She gave a small...
  17. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    Faith saw the two men get out of the vehicle. With her ever watchful gaze and the direction she had been looking, she would have had to have been blind not to see them. She turned her gaze away before they noticed her staring, and walked calmly, with just the right edge of nervous energy, with...
  18. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    Faith saw it. She knew she was seeing the car when she saw Anne glance her way to make sure she had. She didn't nod. Her eyes narrowed, as she unobtrusively placed herself, if not between Anne and the stalker, then at least close enough to quickly diffuse any situation that went bad. She hoped...
  19. Alissa Ming

    Distance heritage

    Layna watched the others doing whatever they were so busy doing at the barbecue. She couldn't wait for the food to be served, but beyond that she wasn't mixing with the others much. She was mostly people watching, while going over the seemingly endless list of things she needed to do when this...
  20. Alissa Ming

    unexpected friends

    Faith stood close to Anne, her hands unobtrusively on her swords. If this went bad, she'd have to be ready at a moment's notice to get Anne out of the situation. Her eyes were hard, and scanning for the danger she knew could be anywhere. She shouldn't have agreed to Carl's idea. She shouldn't...
