Thread: Escaping the Siege (BurningWillows & Rskde)

Kaia had them, hook line and sinker. She could already hear this man's heartbeat raise just by looking at the beauty, and she could smell the death and gun powder on him. These were definitely soldiers. But what kind? The demon was no fool to believe they were here to Save them, even if they were honest. No one who had lived for as many centuries as she had was foolish enough to go on the word of a human. She'd have to wait and see. One of them disappeared down the corridor, and she could hear him looking, but finding nothing. Good job Nahla, she knew the jinn had hidden the door, using her powers to will it away into nothingness. She was a strong jinn, and her powers were fairly controlled. They were almost in the clear when a sudden shot fired out, not within the building but outside and Kaia jumped, startled as she backed up, hissing. Her eye immediately shot to black, her teeth growing sharper as she growled at the men near the door before her cold lifeless black eyes turned on the man she had swooned on. You brought back up, huh? she asked with a snarl, ready to rip these four men apart if it meant protecting her Nahla, Poor choice kid. Now I'm going to show you what your intestine's look like wrapped around your neck. Another shot outside and this time she heard a door bang open loudly in the back of the building. Fuck Nahla. She heard the shot. Nahla had been calming one of the children, having hidden the door from sight using her power of wishing, but when she heard the shot even she jumped, her heart beat thumping. Kaia. Where was Kaia? Had that shot been against her? Nahla feared the worst, and moreso hated that she was not with her bond, her ward. She was meant to be protecting her, not just this group. When the second shot fired, Nahla couldn't sit and wait any longer. The door snapped back into existence as she undid her wish, and she threw it open than slammed it shut behind her, the sound echoing through the halls. Throwing her hand towards the knob she muttered a few words in arabic and it locked. Rushing forward, she bolted down the hall, running as fast as she could...and nearly tackled the demon in her haste. She pulled up though as she saw her, catching Kaia's angry gaze as she looked over her shoulder, glaring at her. When I say stay, I mean stay, she snapped, When will you ever listen to me Nahla? When you stop running towards death, shaytan. Kaia growled, but pulled the jinn in behind her, touching her hand tenderly a her eyes remained on the armed men, You aren't hurt are you? Did they discover you? No, I heard the shots though, I had to come out. We seem to have unwanted guests, Kaia growled, still staring at the man, Go back, protect the others. I will handle these mortals. Nahla paused, not necessarily sure she should leave Kaia. She didn't worry for her safety as much as she worried for the men's. If they started shooting, Kaia would be forced to kill, and the bloody mess she could leave behind was no pleasant scene. Shots continued to fire outside, making Nahla wince at each one as Kaia only grew angrier. Leave now, and we can all keep our lives, she begged, holding a hand out at them as if to stop them, This doesn't need to get any bloodier than it already is. Please.
