Antony- 'If this distraction doesn't work, we're toast,' I thought to myself, but didn't say out loud. I didn't need to be pessimistic right now, or the others might be affected. I nod back at Alexa once she is in Panther form. After she left the room, I grabbed Sam's hand and made a bolt for the kitchen. So far so good, so far so good, so far so good, just a little further. I practically hit the counter from my momentum once I got there. Frantically, I rummaged through drawers, and then I actually looked around and saw some out near the sink. The fear was probably getting to my head. Hopefully I'd still have good aim. "Alright, you stupid monster...where are you?" I mumbled, listening for the noise that would be coming from Alexa as a panther.
(ha, I keep losing track of verb tense, so if I mess up, just ignore it.)

(Hmm, I haven't decided yet with Luna.) Sam- I followed Antony downstairs, not that I had much of a choice. I grinned as he spotted the knives. "Do we need it in here?" I asked but, without waiting for an answer, I shouted. "Hey! Demon boy! We got some yummy souls in here, come get them!" I winked at Antony and in a softer tone, asked, "Ready with the knives?" Maybe I should have checked that first...

Alexa- Alright, let's begin by saying that creature was ugly. I had tackled it to the floor and scratched it, which caused a gaping wound on its body. That was satisfying. But it was hard to get next to. Not only was it fast, but it disapeared alot from view. It was weakened, so it couldn't stay invisible for long but this was making my job harder than it needed to be. I heard Sam calling from the kitchen and I hoped that they were ready. I decided to take one last swipe... worse decision ever! It crushed my paw then smacked me through the walls into the kitchen, the shock forcing me back human. "Are you ready?" I gasped as I sat up, head spinning.

Antony-
I had nodded an answer to Sam to show that I was ready, despite the turmoil inside my head. As I was trying to calm myself down, Alexa came crashing through the wall, and it was at that point that I almost lost focus and threw the knife at her as a reflex. Thankfully my brain caught up with me before my body did at the last second, and I breathed in relief to see that I hadn't done anything stupid. Although I was concerned for Alexa, I could see that she was at least well enough to speak, so I let that settle in the back of my mind.
"Ready as I'll ever be," I murmured back, readying myself and gluing my eyes forward. The plan was to throw the knife as soon as it came through the door/hole, or if I couldn't see it, listen for it and hope my aim was good enough.

Sam- I grinned and shouted again, "In here!" I waved my hands above my head as the demon headed into the room. Winking at Antony, I ran over to Alexa. "Did you get cut anywhere?" I asked her, kneeling down next to her. I could probably heal her if she was hurt. My gaze kept flickering back at Antony to make sure he was ok as well.

Alexa- I stood up, wincing at some pain in my back. But I was used to this...it was nothing compared to those years of torture. I shook my head to clear my thoughts. I couldn't get distracted now. I was a good witch, a good person. Nothing bad. "I'm fine." I told Sam. "It's nothing that won't heal. Once we get what we need, will you orb us to a safe spot to make the potion?" I asked.

Sam- I gave a quick nod. "Do we need the book or any herbs? I can grab them quickly." I looked over at Antony. I heard a hiss from Luna some where in the kitchen but, I couldn't place it exactly. Would a potion work on this demon?

Antony-
Alright, now that I had a confirmation that Alexa was ok, I could make my move, especially if Same was able to orb us to safety right away. The last thing we needed was to piss this thing off more and have no escape route available. 'Here goes nothing!' I thought before narrowing my eyes and throwing the knife with all my strength. It clipped the creature on the side, tearing some of its skin. 'Good. If the knife had been stuck, then we wouldn't have been able to retrieve the skin.' Oh c***, but we have a different problem...' The skin piece had fallen to the floor with gravity, where the creature was standing. How on earth were we going to get close enough to grab it without anyone getting hurt? "Alright, so...who's gonna go get that?" I asked, really too scared and not skilled enough to slip by to grab it.

Sam- I grinned. "Me!" I shouted. I orbed over next to the creature, picked up the skin and orbed back by the others. I was quick enough to not get hit by the fist as it swung by my head. I glanced at the others, feeling a bit woozy. "Woa, too much orbing." I leaned back on the counter quickly. "Distract it, I need a moment." I blinked my eyes some and tried to relax myself a bit, needing to get my energy back.

Alexa- "Distraction is my middle name. Here." I shoved the herbs from my jacket pocket into Antony's hand. "Just in case, crush these with the piece of skin. Make sure that the skin is thoroughly mixed in, then put it in this jar. If you can boil it, then do it. It would be more effective." I handed Antony the jar too and went panther, hoping to distract the beast and give Sam enough time to collect herself. I ran forward and bit it in the leg, noticing the smell of gasoline as the area erupted in flame. This was new. It screamed and I will never forget this part. As the fire went out it picked me up by the neck, trying to crush my throat. When I was on the verge of passing out he threw me into the cabinets, where I blacked out. (Note: So, if 1 scratch makes a short fire happen, then what do you think multiple would do? Be careful with Luna though. Remember, it is strong and only large amounts of small cats can kill it.)

(I know that O.O Luna could never fully take it on- she isn't happy with him though.) Sam- Ok, I was feeling better now. I grabbed Antony's hand and dragged him towards Alexa. Putting my hand on her shoulder, I orbed us to the first place I could think of. My house. "Kitchen is over there!" I pointed to Antony. "Get the potion started, I'm going to try and heal Alexa." I waved my hand at him to sort of 'shoo' him off, then knelt down next to Alexa. She had some scrapes from the collision. Ok, I can do this. I put my hands over her and could see the soft glow showing it was working.

Antony-
Alright, I was very glad that Sam and Alexa were all for volunteering, but gosh darn it, they were scaring me with these close calls! I was concerned for Alexa, but I knew that Sam had her taken care of. The orbing probably took a lot out of her, but it was a good thing she was able to do it, or we might all be dead right now. I shuddered at the thought as I walked over to where Sam had pointed. Since Alexa had said that boiling the ingredients would make the potion more potent, I decided to do that. The monster wasn't getting here any time soon, most likely. Hopefully it wouldn't go too far into hiding at the same time, though. We needed to get rid of this thing. I turned the burner of the stove on and started boiling the ingredients in some water. 'I guess all we can do now is wait.'

Alexa- I suddenly felt better, as if my wounds were disapearing. When I opened my eyes I realized they were. "Thanks Sam." I said as I stood, quickly walking toward the kitchen where Antony was boiling the potion. "So far, so good." I said. "Let's just hope the monster doesn't attack..." I suddenly had a bad feeling. "My father..." I whispered. "He said he'd be close by! Oh no. Get the potion done as soon as you can. He's in danger!" (poor Antony. We're just dragging him into danger! )

Sam- I nodded and sat back. "Ok, but I need a moment." all this use of my powers was taking a lot of energy. "Maybe you should go check on your dad Alexa, if you get into trouble, you can call me, I should be able to hear you." I closed my eyes and rubbed my forehead. Err, major headache. I hoped Antony would finish soon.

Antony-
I was glad and surprised to see that Alexa was healed so soon. It appeared that Sam's powers were powerful, but just took a lot out of her. That had to suck. "Don't worry. Your father will be ok," I assured Alexa, even though I didn't know that for sure and it was just something to alleviate worry. "Anyway, the potion's done enough. If you need to get your father, then let's go." Of course I had to come with. Sam would hopefully be safe at home here, and there was no way I would let Alexa run into danger on her own. That was too risky. At the corners of my eyes and mind, I could see swirls of color. It was chaotic, and would be pretty if it weren't distracting and confusing to me. 'Dang stupidest power ever...' I thought to myself. At least if I grabbed some knives from Sam's kitchen, I would be of use with throwing skills again. That would at least slow the creature down if we needed to get Alexa's dad away, should that be a problem.
