"Oh no..." the angel murmured when she noticed the bounty hunters emerge from the shrubs. She took a few steps back, quickly searching for a way out, when Jack decided to resort to violence... again. "Jack, stop it!" she cried when he elbowed a man in the nose, causing it to bleed. The men took to beating him with clubs, something that Aris couldn't stand. Even if he couldn't die, it would still hurt, Aris assumed.<br/><br/>"Stop it! Leave him alone!" she shouted, pounding on one of their backs with her puny fists. She wasn't a fighter, but she didn't want to see anyone hurt. The bounty hunter turned, giving her a sharp glare that made her retreat a few steps. She could see behind the man that Jack was trying to get up, still caught in the net.<br/><br/>*Thunk!*<br/><br/>"Jack!" Aris shrieked when he fell to the ground, putting her hands to her mouth. He wasn't dead, and even if he was he would return, but she was still scared. The bounty hunters had their sights set on her, many of them looked dumbfounded. That was odd to Aris, until she glanced back at her wings. Her concentration was lost when Jack was knocked out, causing the spell to be broken and her wings to unfurl. Aris' eyes grew very wide when she realized, and turned back to the bounty hunters, a few of which were stalking towards her with nets.<br/><br/>Though her wings were still wet from the hotsprings, she shot up into the air, grabbing hold of the first branch she could. She heaved her torso onto it, looking back down at the frustrated men below, trying to jump and grab at her dangling legs. She stared down at poor Jack, unconscious from all this, when she saw someone standing next to him. The color of her face drained, she swallowed. It was a demon. She was in between a rock and a hard place now.<br/><br/>Suddenly, she felt a rough hand grab her tiny ankle, yanking her down so only her arms and head were above the branch. Aris shrieked, kicking at the hand below. She didn't want to get caught, she wasn't going to get caught if she could help it.
