The shock wave from coming from the portal was brutal. Rafaela was happy that she was standing rather far away from it, because even from the distance, the blow almost made her fall over. As it was, she managed to stand her ground, and used to moment of confusing to cut down the big bad in front of her.<br/>While the portal was down, then she knew that they were far from done. The place was still wriggling with demons, despite the portal having taken most of them out, and Hortence was out cold, so they could not count on her support. Wonderful, the one time where it was super impractical for her to be unconscious, she was going to go ahead and be unconscious.<br/>She would have to count on the new girl now, despite the fact that her alliances were sketchy at best. However, she couldn't care less about that in that moment, because she knew that it would be too hard for her to take all of these demons on her own, even if she might be able to do it, then it was not a risk that she was willing to take for now. She could always cut her down later, they just really needed to cut off all of the demons, before they could make it to the city.<br/>"Oi! New girl" she yelled, assuming that the girl would know who she was talking to. She knew how to order people around, as well as how to get her own hands dirty "Take out the lesser ones, you should be able to do it with that nifty knife of your's" she yelled, making her way towards a smaller one, which was on it's way towards the lifeless Hortence; and just hoped that the girl would just follow her orders without any questions. God, she would kill to have her soldiers with her right now, not that they were trained to fight demons, but at least they knew how to take an order.<br/>She once again swung her sword like a bat, and decapitated the demon, which thankfully had a thin neck, and turned around to defend the lifeless form of Hortence. She might not be a big fan of her normally, but she wasn't about to let some disgusting demon take advantage of her. That was not how this was going to work out.<br/>She got a better grip on her sword, slowly feeling the exhaustion settling in, but she could not let down her guard yet. She would just have to slay a couple of demons, get Hortence out of harm's way, possible get her some medical help, and then get to know what the fuck that new girl was up to. God, she really should have stayed in bed.
