Run

The pronouncement of the prisoners been on the run sent fear into the camp of the clan as everyone got terrified as to how they were able to run from a prison that they cannot use their powers, the most shocking of it been that they were all placed on different prisons so as not to merge strengths together. Lucy on hearing the news pretended to be a dead corpse hanging and that didn't draw any attention to her because almost everyone started running helter skelter to find the prisoners. Lucy, even though half gone still held on to the faith that they would make it all out, she hung on the tree cursed for death and waiting to meet the fate of the cursed but the people employed to carry out this task are busy running around in search of secondary assets. '' I would have ended this misery if it was me '' Lucy said to herself and then returned back to attempting to cut herself lose from where they hung her. She tried in many ways possible but she was too weak to even struggle, she promised herself that if she makes it alive, she would drink Marys to the sunset until she could dine at dawn.

The blaring alarm by the clan indicated a form of immediate danger that needs attention, Zyana and seduction had gotten quite close to the cabin but scared of heading to the top because of how crowded everywhere was becoming. Death and Shiva hid underneath a cracked but patched house after they escaped the house that was collapsing, a near death situation. They could not use their powers except when it comes to the '' no other option situation '' because they want to preserve it until they are all together before they can start using it to avoid getting wearied before they escape. Because the demons were not omnipresent, they can't be everywhere at every time so they had to rely on strategy to find the prisoners that escaped and also find the new traitors that helped them to escape. Little by little the clan circulated but round the area but this time in a more defensive way and less organized way because they were really wasted for the night, but the master's shout was enough to bring them to their toes and this time, to end that which they had started but is clearly becoming shady.

Shiva and Death ran out the moment they saw many of the demons heading their way, they must have perceived they were there because they did not rub anything to prevent them from been traced by smell, they ran towards the big orchard tree but yet they were grossly followed down, the more they ran, the more attention is drawn to them, and the more attention is drawn to them, the more most of the demon clans gears towards their direction. Zyana and Seduction caught up with Shiva and Death on their running track, they all decided to hide but the begging question is for how long would they hide from them? The St Mary's orphanage precisely the west wing, well its called west coast now is one of the grounds where one cannot hide because of the amount of evil that lurks around the area, running to the Orphanage would be worse because its just a building with few hide outs, so for them to try out their lucks at the coast wing is a better option to explore.

The thought of been caught again was as fearful as been caught itself, they swore not to die and not to get caught again no matter the cost. Now they have the complete element and all they need to do is run away safely from the clan and hide. They started using their powers in full force, fighting and fending off the demons that came closest to them but their powers can only do so little to a crowd of demons. Shiva remained hidden because if she is seen fighting along side with the assumed traitors, it would be catastrophic for her especially if they are caught. They had a second option which would allow shiva assist them before they all run together and that plan includes that Shiva will pretend to arrest them and they would pass through the less crowded area and then flee from them, while they were still planning to execute this plan, they heard a loud noise from where Lucy was hanging and then a great lightning struck the area which aroused the attention of the demons searching for them and they confusedly started running back because Lucy has released herself from where she was hanging. Although Lucy was tired, dizzy and near to death, she was ably to create a distraction before alerting to the nearest location to hide; Zyana and the rest of the demons including Shiva took a semi circular path and ran without been noticed or pursued by anyone but while they were running, Seduction demon stopped and asked them to go ahead because she cannot leave Lucy behind, she advised them to run that its best they only catch up with one instead of all of them but Zyana refused too and decided to go back. One by one they all turned back to go after Lucy, her will to survive and the promises they made was what convinced them to go back. This time, they came striking with different powers, Shiva drew up a web that cloated about 1km and no one could see them, Seduction transformed into deception gas and fueled many, Death is known for strength and killing and there is Zyana, the goddess of power. They took to the location nearest to the orphanage and saw Lucy lying down in a hidden spot nearly dying, they hurriedly carried her and they all ran. The more they ran, the closer the clan came, they seemed to be everywhere but they didn't give up, Zyana created a decoy of herself and deceived some of the demons who started chasing her second, not knowing that the second is just an appearance meant to deceive, then Shive struck her web protection again and they ran even further. The ones that came closer got hit by Death who by now is badly injured by stronger demons but he did not give up, they have their freedom and they must run as far as possible to gain that freedom no matter if they lose blood and strength.

They manage to get to the peak of the forest and took a sloppy bend to the road not known by many, this time its to the disadvantage of the clan because they are quite uncertain whether to pursue from the sloppy bend because of their unfamiliarity of the path. The traitors and Shiva ran away to the thick part, they got to a place called Herds where animals are kept and they laid Lucy down. Her skin had started to change and get cold because she is in-between life and death and her soul might be narrowly slipping away to purgatory if they don't revive her; So Zyana used her last strength to conjure a repel spell and got Lucy breathing but that was for just some hours, they must take her to the hospital if she must survive. So they all headed out to a near hospital in order to save Lucy's life.
