Snippet #1505903

Ari was busy shoving her few pieces of clothing into a black bag when she heard the door open. She knew almost instantly that it was Emilia by the sound of her light footsteps. "I'm almost ready to go, chill out, we'll be in China before you can even blink." She laughed at herself, then the expression on her face changed to a much more serious one. She knew Emilia missed her parents and hoped that some day she would be able to find them. Maybe after, not if, but after they got rid of Viktor, her friend and her parents would be able to live like a normal family.

The girl didn't dwell on the thought for too long, she didn't want to risk distracting herself from the task at hand. "I'm sure they're out there somewhere, we'll find them, don't worry." Ari patted Emilia's shoulder and slung her bag over her own shoulder. "Now lets get going, the sooner the better." She wondered if they would actually be able to get out of New Moscow without a hassle, and if so, what was waiting for them on the way to the dead zone? She was excitedly anticipating a good fight.

All the way from upstairs in her room she could hear an unfamiliar voice at the door and her muscles tensed up, ready for a fight should one break out. She looked at Emilia, her expression giving no emotion away. "Get ready to run, if it's an attack and more than we can handle, go out the back window and meet me under the bridge." Ari instructed the girl carefully then went back downstairs, poised to fight back if needed. She opened the door, halfway expecting for a swarm of Vices to barge in and start throwing punches, but she was surprised to see just one standing there. Eyes narrowed she examined him with scrutinizing eyes, her hands placed on her hips. "Can I help you?"
