Rising Shadows [Dark Huntress, Scarsmate, and Redkite]

[RedKite]

Septimus runs as fast as he can into the city. He finds the others and shouts. They do not come, he returns to Rivera and Rotan.

"I cannot find them..." He mutters, looking around nervously.

[Scars Mate]

Rivera froze.

'You don't think...?' Her voice shook.

'We'll all look,' Rotan decided, slipping his hand into his wife's and leading her to a gravel path.

[RedKite]

Septimus reluctantly follows.

[Scars Mate]

'No one.' Rivera's said disbelievingly. They had been wandering their estate for and hour, and no one was there.

'Oh-' Rotan said suddenly. 'I think they've gone to Rmzy's. We should get them.' He called a carriage, and soon they were trundling along to the wolves house.

[RedKite]

Septimus stops at the mention of Ramzy. He scowls and stares after the carriage.

[Dark Huntress]

Ramzy gave the carriage a curious look-he'd not been expecting anyone. When their hosts from the night before stepped out, he frowned. Their reason for being there only made his heart beat faster. His thoughts were instantly on Rowen.

"You don't think...?" He asked softly.

*£*

Rowen had thrown on a simple dress [courtesy of her maid, Mary] let down her long hair and tied it up with a bow and escaped into London for a free day as her parents were not. They'd left a note about checking into some business affairs and she'd assumed they wouldn't be back for awhile. It probably had to do with the murders.

For once, she left her mind ramble over the murders. It couldn't possibly be a vampire, even they knew that children were untouchable, and from what she'd seen with Ramzy and Septimus and the others, the werewolves wouldn't harm a child either. She shuddered, then ducked into a perfume shop.

The man was tall and stiff and his voice made Rowen shrink. She jerked as he yelled 'Saprophyte!'. Her questions were answered when a young lady, appearing twenty at most appeared to take over the shop. She wore a dress like an innkeepers wife or a servant and made no attempt to modestly cover her her chest. Her black hair cascade around her shoulders and her eyes were such a light blue they looked like glaciers.

[RedKite]

Septimus shrinks back and travels into London as well. He doesn't want anything to do with Ramzy...Or the vampires for that matter.

[Dark Huntress]

Rowen states innocently at Saprophyte for a moment before remembering her manners and politely requesting she charge her for a small sample. Saprophyte obeyed then disappeared into the back as Rowen pushed out into he surprisingly sunny streets of London. With a tug on the large black bow tying her hair back from her face and a strategic placing of her bangs to hide her from the sun she darts from shop window to shop window in the shade like she is a little girl.

[RedKite]

He sees her and cant help but smile. He also cant help but see she is vulnerable to other murderers, not like him though, human murderers, he morphs into a wolf again and follows her, for protection.

[Dark Huntress]

A quick glance in a window to keep her back protected finds her looking at a familiar wolf. "What are you doing here?" She asks him quietly, then leads him into an alley. "It's less suspicious if I talk to a wolf when I look crazy."
