Sienna Cartlow
Siennaās time with the police hadnāt been unpleasant initially. The officers who took her in were pretty friendly and helpful, even providing her some much appreciated coffee and food. Part way through however, things changed when she was taken aside and started receiving treatment more akin to a criminal or someone suspicious at the very least. Though she was assured it was just procedure, it was still a little unnerving to be left isolated in one of those rooms from those police dramas with the mirror and camera and told to wait. Soon enough, the man who introduced himself as Abe entered, and from there, she was asked a series of questions.
Still, it hadnāt entirely gone as planned. Sinopia sat nearby, offering only a couple of scant comments when she felt like she had something humorous to say, but Sienna mostly did her best to ignore her. It was concerning that the man didnāt make her show her power ā Maybe he already knew? Or maybe he decided it was too farfetched and just decided not to entertain the idea? Either way, sheād show him herself when he went to accuse her of lying or the sort. Well, thatās what she thought sheād do, but instead she was justā¦ Dismissed? The door was left open. She was free to go, apparently. Wait, what? Did he just accept all of that? No further questioning? No āYouāll be kept on watch?ā Nothing? That wasā¦ Maybe she was expecting more, butā¦
āDonāt complain. Weāre home free to do as we please.ā Sinopia stated as she climbed down, moving towards the door. Sienna faintly nodded, but she still wasnāt certain that this was what she wanted. She really hoped that the police would be able to give her some new stability and direction for what she should do from here. Honestly, she was hoping to get some sort of support and maybe some counselling. Guess that was too hopeful, but it wasnāt entirely impossible that she wasnāt going to undergo surveillance or something. Slowly, she made her way out of the room, closing the door behind her as she headed back towards the foyer. She didnāt exactly have anyone that could pick her up, so sheād probably need to ask the receptionist or an officer for a lift or something to get home. Then there was dealing with Tateā¦ And workā¦ And maybe even the media. That was gonna be a headache and a half.
Stretching and groaning a bit, she felt pretty worn out from all the waiting and interrogation. It was late in the evening now, basically eleven at night. Still, it was over now. She just needed to head home, curl up into bed, and hopefully sheād have the strength to get up and start dealing with all that crap tomorrow. Now that she was out in the open, she could see that Gym-Girl, Taja and Frederick were out of their rooms, but it didnāt look like theyād been allowed to leave just yet. In fact, the officer who interrogated her seemed to be grabbing Gym-Girl for a second round of questions when they were all interrupted. At least, those of them that could see the strange, white haired boy. From there, it was like a mini-apocalypse localised in the room with them ā The walls and floors shaking and the world violently spinning as it threatened to crack apart at a momentās notice. All the while the maniacal fellow (Now shapeshifted into something resembling Rinaās demon) spouted increasingly violent and livid ramblings. Then in an instant, the vertigo and damage reverted, as if nothing had happened; Siennaās upturned stomach the only sign sheād even felt anything. At this point, a few of the officers around were giving the lot of them a bit of a look, given how theyād stumbled around, but that was nothing compared to the expressions they wore as the hounds made their entrance onto the scene.
Sienna lost track of herself in the following chaos. Sienna immediately recoiled into a slightly fearful but mostly defensive stance; the movement having Abe and the others look to what had her attentionā¦ Only to turn back to her like she was crazy. It didnāt take a genius to put two and two together. It was just like Sinopia. They couldnāt see them. The freakinā cops couldnāt see the glowing flaming skeletal demon dogs that seemed to be intangible to the world around them. So much for relying on help from the law enforcementā¦ Why couldnāt things be normal?! This was supposed to be her getting back to normal! She was done with this crap! As one of the monsters stalked her by striding through the nearby officer and moving in her direction, she backed up to the wall, trying to decide if she could bolt from the room without drawing the ire of the police. It certainly wasnāt like she could start torching them inside this building; that definitely wouldnāt work out wellā¦
It was about then that Gym-Girl (She really needed to remember her nameā¦) began toā¦ Growl? It certainly didnāt sound human, and unlike Sienna, it seemed Mā¦ Mary(?) didnāt feel any need to conform to social normality amongst the police. Despite her aggressive noise, she backed up though. That didnāt exactly fill Sienna with confident. Dumb as that girl was, she was tough (The time sheād almost been killed by her was sign enough of that), which was worrisome if she wanted to back out. Still, Sienna didnāt need to be giving a second indication. Moving back in time to the approach of the canines, it wasnāt until Frederick jumped up in front of them that she stopped again, especially as one of the beasts took the opportunity to fly at him. Leaping towards him, maw at the ready, the beast seemed set to bite into Fredā¦ When suddenly it flew back as a new figure appeared in a flash.
She was remarkably white, though the distinctive features were her shepherd staff, angelic and skeletal wings, and the strange mask and bandages that only seemed to reveal a single, purple eye. Judging by the conversation between her and the strange man, it was clear he was having a moment similar to her and Sinopia when they first truly met. Still, the energy rippling from this partnership was buying them time. Though the police were giving her and the rest of the group incredulous looks and trying to ask for an explanation, Sienna didnāt really feel she was at liberty to clarify for them. As the figure in front of Frederick faded, a new magical energy made itself apparent, a portal appearing from the ground beforeā¦ Some sort of mechanical rabbit launched out and struck the nearest monster dog?!
āā¦wings!ā Was the first thing the weirdo bunny said. Sienna had no idea what that meant, and even mumbled a faint āWhat?ā under her breath. Still, she wasnāt complaining to have more assistance. As she stopped to spout some more nonsense at Fred, the police finally seemed to have reacted on some level as they turned towards the rabbit and began telling her to freeze and place her handā¦ paws on her head. Of course, she didnāt listen. With some slight gesturing and the declaration that the ānoobsā should follow her, the rabbit slipped into another portal with Frederick, vanishing from sight. As the demon dogs turned their attention towards Sienna, she didnāt need to be told twice. Leaping through the portal, it was mildly disorienting, but she quickly got her bearings. They were outside the station in the parking lot.
With the moment to breathe, Sienna took the chance to look to the rabbit and Frederick, giving them both a glare. āMind starting to explain who you are and whatās going on?ā Folding her arms a bit, Sienna briefly looked to Sinopia who was at her side. Sheād been weirdly quiet this whole time, and completely unhelpful given the danger. Waiting for the girl to answer, Sienna would likely have to wait for answers as the dogs leapt out from the walls to follow them, seemingly unfazed by the sudden relocation of their targets. Drawing back into another fighting stance, Sienna glanced over her shoulder towards the other two. āScratch that. We deal with these things first, then I want answers.ā
Pivoting to the nearest ghost hound, Sienna didnāt hesitate now there was no one in the way. As the dog ran at her, Sienna quickly shifted her position, thrusting her arm forward and unleashing a cone of fire from her palm. Scorching red and orange flames streamed forth in a spiral of intense heat, engulfing the monster before her as it vanished into the fire. Smirking as she kept up the wave of flames, Sienna was confident that sheād handled the threat. It wasnāt until Sinopiaās urgent voice yelled into her mind did she realise something was wrong. āGet down you idiot!ā The feline shouted, Sienna barely having time to recognise the warning as from inside the inferno she saw the maw of death. Drawing her hand back and falling to the side, the leaping bite from the beast narrowly missed her wrist as Sienna hit the ground, the monster flying past her. Scrambling to get herself back to her feet, Sinopiaās scathing voice continued to chastise her in her mind. āWhat were you thinking?! Are you blind? Did you not see what those things are made of?! Why would you think fire of all things would work you tomato!ā
Sienna was going to say something in response, but she didnāt have a chance to as the dog skidded to a stop and began its second run at the teenage girl.
