A place for them

[Creator]

"Oh, is that all?" he asked, shrugging it off. "There's no reason to be shy. If-" he spun, hurling a knife through the air and into the bushes. There was a muffle cry, followed by cursing and rustling leaves. Whoever had been there was hurrying to get out. Damon opened his hand and the knife returned via gas form, and he turned back to Alyx. "Lousy stalker creeps. I should have killed them, but whatever."

[alyxchan]

SHe looked at the bush then at Damon "Creep is right" she said smiling at him. She let go of her knees and hugged him.

[Creator]

Damon smiled, returning her hug tightly. He closed his eyes, scooting closer and relaxing. "I dunno," he warned, "I may fall asleep here. It's too comfortable, you know?"

Meanwhile, Hawk was checking the slowly bleeding cut on his arm in the light of one of the floating orbs. So much for exploring. He had wanted to take a look around, but they just had to pick this spot, and he just had to throw that whatever-the-hell-it-was before he even got a chance to realize he shouldn't be there. At least he had managed to move, otherwise it would have hit him square between the eyes.

[alyxchan]

She smiled and snuggled into him "Yeah..but it feels good" she whispered, kissing his cheek. She shut her eyes again, on the brink of sleep

[Creator]

Damon smiled, kissing her softly one last time before he puttered out. Poor guy, that food pill he took a while back must have been wearing off. He'd be completely exhausted for some time.
Hawk began walking back, satisfied that it was an insignificant wound, and made sure that he had at least one bullet in his gun. He doubted he'd kill either of them, but he could at least scare them a bit. He approached on the path this time, avoiding the bushes.

[alyxchan]

She layed his head on her lap and smiled. ~Now his head won't hurt~ she thought. She twitched, she heard the sound of footfalls aproaching. She looked around, her eyes flashing red.

[Creator]

Hawk's red irises shone in the night as he approached, giving him away long before the rest of him was in sight. He stopped when he came within thirty or so feet of Damon and Alyx, and raised his gun.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you both," he said hotly.

[alyxchan]

She disapeared, hiding Damon in a bush. She reapeared behind Hawk, her katana to his back. "And just why the hell would you want to kill us?" she asked.

[Creator]

Hawk was startled, but his gun was quickly turned around in his hand, now facing her once more. "Because one of you hurt my arm, and I'm in a foul mood," he said, turning to look at her. There was a bright red flash from his eyes, a technique used for blinding enemies, and he stepped back.

[alyxchan]

She shut her eyes just in time. "Hm...by the looks of your teeth.." she said looking at him, "Your not part of the people I'm after" she said.

[Creator]

"Whatever the heck that means," he tacked on, raising his gun. "I wonder. Can you really deflect bullets with a sword? I'd love to find out," Hawk said with a grin. His eyes narrowed as he watched carefully.

[alyxchan]

Her eyes flashed and stayed red. "Oh look..you've brought out my demon" she said, her voice deeper and more sinister. She smirked and watched him.

[Creator]

Hawk waited just a moment, then grinned. "Whatever you say. I win," he said, firing a single bullet toward her, curious as to whether her sword would deflect it or not. Damon, in the meantime, was managing to wake up and stand to see what was going on. He squinted, trying to register what he saw.

[alyxchan]

There was a flash. She deflected the bullet, making it go off into a random direction. "A single bullet? Thats it?!" she shreiked and gave a scornful laugh. She stopped ubruptly and pointed the sword towards his neck.

[Creator]

Hawk grinned, lowering his gun. "You underestimate me," he said. Damon yelped, clutching his arm. The bullet had bounced off at the exact angle Hawk had known it would. "Looks like you have someone to tend to," he said, walking backwards. "Unless you'd like to ignore him, that is."
