Lucca approached his friends. When he saw Ami struggle to life Alice, Lucca knew he could lift Alice maybe, but definitely not Kenji. Lucca nodded upon hearing Sammie. He was thankful Cathal was coming. They needed him. "How many hounds are here you think?" Lucca asked, looking around again. This clearing was larger than the one he and Ami had come from, blood and black bodies carpeting the ground.
Lucca looked up upon seeing Cathal approaching. He didn't say anything, expecting the leader to not be happy. Lucca nodded in response to Cathal's question. He was okay physically, but he was worried about his friends and felt sick to his stomach. What had gotten so bad that Kenji had summoned something of that size after Alice had used her own special ability? Lucca listened as Cathal gave instructions. Upon the mention of two demons, he looked around for Kenji's own demon. Where was Jacob?
Lucca nodded in response to Cathal. Kenji and Alice would probably both be reprimanded later. Lucca and a solemn Casey followed Cathal to his car, flying together, Casey helping Lucca in the process. As the two flew, Lucca looked at the surrounding forest. There was at least four circles of cleared forest, seemingly random, yet Lucca knew Kenji had done it for a reason. Perhaps he'd talk to him about it when he woke up.
Upon reaching the car, Lucca studied Kenji and Alice's condition. They needed to have someone just look at them, Kenji more than Alice. Lucca wondered how Kenji had managed to control the winds enough to focus them away from Alice. "Casey, can you go grab Kenji's car? Like, fly it to the cottage?" Lucca asked her. She nodded, not saying anything as she eyed Kenji and Alice once more before taking off. She'd arrive at the cottage soon enough with the car somehow.
"Cathal, what was up with the hellhounds? Why were there so many? Especially around Kenji and Alice? I thought this was just a tiny mission to kill ten or less hounds..." Kenji stated, sitting in the back seat next to the unconscious Kenji.
