Thread: The Good, The Bad, and the Undead. (Alpha and Seraphina)

Cassidy crouched silently behind one of the many dilapidated structures in the old ghost town. Her hand was rested flat against the dusty ground, her eyes closed as she sent a pulse of magic through the ground. She was trying to find both the entrances to the tunnels and a general number of enemies. One....Two....Three.... She counted silently to herself as her magic brushed each enemy close by. She heard Gideon's voice in her head and frowned. Ahh..there he is...four... She smiled, opening her emerald green eyes. Four was a simple task. Determining how many additional enemies lingered in the tunnels beneath them was what would be difficult. Cassidy stood to her feet, pressing her back against the building as she peeked around the corner. Her partners suggestion to collapse the tunnels was a good one, but she knew the bosses wouldn't like that. No, Gideon...They might have more sacrifices...A lot of people in nearby towns have gone missing lately...We can't risk letting them get buried alive as well...I sure as hell don't want to deal with the penalties... The witch ran a hand through her hair and sighed softly. This was actually a difficult job to complete, which was why it was given to them. If anyone else had been assigned they would have had backup waiting for them. Cas knew they were good, but was it so hard to get a little help sometimes? Take out who you can...Quietly...I'm going to find the tunnel entrance...Hide the bodies. Cassidy didn't see anyone in her view so she took the opportunity to cross the center of the town, headed for a building that appeared to be an old saloon. She entered through the broken entry way and continued forward since she saw nothing to indicate any enemies. She felt the power before she saw the opening in the floor. How crude... she mumbled as the dark aura slivered over her skin. Whatever God these morons were worshiping was disgustingly evil. It was likely to turn on it's worshipers soon enough. She moved quietly forward, finding herself in the back of the saloon, a five foot opening in the floor. She peeked over the edge. It appeared to be a six or seven foot drop and then the tunnels began. A ladder was positioned in the opening to allow easier exit and entry. It occurred to her then, why wasn't there a guard. Shit... She felt the cold barrel of a revolver pressed against her shoulder. Turn around girly... came a gravely voice. Slowly Cassidy turned, raising her hands in the process. Ahh..What's a pretty thing like you doin' round here? He shoved the barrel into her chest and she frowned. In a swift move she kicked out at his knee, taking his moment of surprise to grab the revolver and twist it from his grasp. You bitch... he groaned. Cas chanted a couple soft words beneath her breath and the man's voice was gone. You don't get to talk.... She snapped. Asshole... She tossed the revolver away, finding little use for the cheap weapon. Why didn't I sense you here? she questioned, not expecting him to answer. She pushed him back, though he reached forward to grab her. Ah ah ah... she tsked, grabbing his neck and using magic to hold him against the floor boards. Even right in front of her she couldn't actually sense him. Someone had magic here, someone was shielding the guards. Not all of them though. The guard was struggling against her magic and she rolled her eyes, reaching down to a knife strapped to her thigh. She pulled it free and pressed it to the man's throat, You shouldn't point a gun at a lady.... she whispered in his ear before pulling the blade across his throat. She stood, leaving him to bleed out on the ground as she looked back to the entrance. I found the entrance, Gideon...The old saloon...Back room..
