Snippet #1620795

Locke peaked around the side of the tree only to see a group of faceless figures pass no more than 4 steps from his hideout. He quickly ducked behind the tree and covered his sisters mouth. The demon pressed his fingers to his lips motioning for her to keep quiet. The sat until the boy was sure the danger was gone.

"You can't go running off like that!" he whispered harshly, "You could have gotten us killed or worse, caught." He gave her a one eyed glare. This was the third time this week she'd almost ruied their cover. Damn brat, it'd be so much easier without her, maybe he wouldn't have to constantly have to keep running.

The demon stood and offered her a hand, "Come on we don't have all night. Let's try to find somewhere safe for you to sleep." One more night hiding under a broken tree wouldnt kill them, though it wasn't much harder than the beds at Carnes. A boot camp that had become, fit for nothing more than the common rat. Locke was keeping up a quick pace when he noticed a faint light between the tree trunks. He motioned for Ronny to pause before chancing a glance. It turned out to be nothing more than a house, the light coming from the window, a fire perhaps? Was it worth the risk? It could mean allies, and shelter...but on the other hand. Locke touched his chain sythe reassuringly, they could fight them off.

"Come on Ronny, let's have a look."
