Alexa- I was surprised that Antony wanted to go, but I decided not to talk him out of it. We needed to get my father out of trouble, and two is better than one. "Alright." I nodded. "Let's go!" I said when he was ready and led the way out the door. "Driving would take too long." I muttered, and changed into a horse and scooped Antony on my back, running back to the manor as fast as I could. I had an idea of where Sam lived and as soon as I saw the mansion I knew I was right. I made a sudden stop and realized that I still had him on my back... oops! (Sorry Antony!)

Antony-
I had expected a car as a mode of transportation, but nearly screamed in surprise as Alexa turned me into a mostly unwilling horse-back rider. It was hard holding on without a saddle, so when she suddenly stopped, I went flying off and hit the ground rather hard, rolling a few times before stopping. I coughed in pain. 'I swear, if I somehow get killed by Alexa instead of the monster, I am going to force myself to come back to life, because that kind of death would just suck too bad!' I gave a slightly irritated look to Alexa. "Y'know, I'd appreciate it if you could be just a liiiiitle more gentle when I'm riding on you." I got up slowly, brushing dust off and ignoring the pain. I had a few cuts and soon-to-be bruises for sure, and quite possible a sprained left wrist (thank goodness it was that one, since I'm right-handed), but it wasn't too bad. At least I hadn't broken any bones. "So...since we stopped, are we here?" I asked quietly.
(Nice one, Alexa!)

(oh boy, Alexa has skillz) Sam- Ok, enough resting. I stood up and wobbled some, managing to get over to the chair before I fell back down again. Maybe a few more minutes. Closing my eyes, I concentrated on Alexa and Antony. They seemed ok. (Whitelighters can hear the voice, right? I thought that was something Leo did.) I leaned back some. Maybe Mom would be home soon. I could tell her to orb over and check it out. Actually, I think she was at work. Hmm. I'd keep myself relaxed. If they would call, I'd be there.

Alexa- "Sorry." I said guiltily when I was human again. "Sometimes the call of the wild takes over?" I said in a questioning tone, knowing my excuse was lame. Viable, but lame. "Anyway, we're at the mansion now. Let me see if I can smell my father out." I began sniffing the air, relieved when I smelled my fathers scent but horrified when the creatures scent mingled with his. "Let's go!" I said, charging toward the smell and hoping we could save him.
(Oh yeah! Alexa has skillZ. And yeah, whitelighters can hear voices of people- like their charges and stuff like that. So it works.)

Antony- "It's alright. No major harm done," I replied, looking toward the large home in front of us. After seeing Alexa's face and hearing her tone of voice, I knew that the worst was probably true, and that the creature was already here. 'Just wonderful,' I thought as I followed Alexa. I began to pull a knife out of my jacket. Hopefully we wouldn't need it, but better to be prepared.

Alexa-(great! I had an amazing post then I had to go and check something and accidentally clicked out so now I have to start over. :<) I turned the corner of the mansion and stopped in horror. The thing had my father by the neck. I saw the life essence being drained from his body, a bluish color. "Let's hope this works." I said to Antony. "If not, be prepared." I'm glad he thought to bring knives. I didn't think of it. The only reason I knew was because I heard the knife being pulled through the fabric of his jacket. "Hey Sleepwalker!" I yelled. He didn't turn. "Ugly!" At that he turned. "Taste this!" I threw the potion at his feet, smoke swirling around his legs. I stared in horror as nothing happened. "That should have worked!" This was so not good. The thing actually had the nerve to 'laugh' (more like gag) at me! I was about to go panther and have my third go with him for the night when something strange happened. Stray cats began to gather around us. Then I heard glass windows breaking around the neighborhood and claws scraping the asphalt. "The potion summoned cats?!" I have to admit I was in disbelief. They began to hiss at the thing and attacked. It tried to throw them off but there were too many and it failed. When it dropped my father I rushed to drag him away, using my animal muscles to get far away from the scene. The creature screamed and went down in a burst of flames. (OH SNAP!)

Antony- (FINALLY ENDING THIS SO WE CAN MOVE ON)
I lowered my knife in shock as I saw the thing burst into flames after the cats attacked it. It was one of the strangest things I had ever seen. Releasing a breath of air that I wasn't aware of holding, I looked over to Alexa and her dad, as I had followed her when she got her father away. "Well, it's...dead. I would say that was pretty successful. I mean...nobody died." It was a sad attempt at humor, and more like me trying to calm myself down. The creature barely more than a pile of ashes, and was not coming back.
(The end. Yay, happy, blah, whatever. I am excited for the next mission!)
