Silas felt another chill run down his spine. The only people that he 'brought' with him were Giles and Brian. He watched Nathaniel run in the direction of the shout, with Aris and Amaya in tow behind them.<br/><br/>"Who was that?" Roy asked aloud. He looked at Silas and Eve, but his eyes went to Silas's face that slowly turned pale.<br/><br/>"Giles... Brian..." Silas's voice trailed off quietly. "They found a demon."<br/><br/>Roy looked at Silas in horror. Putting together Giles and Nathaniel in the same room was grounds for disaster. He looked down at his crossbow, and wondered how many shots it would take to defeat Nathaniel when Capet was impossible to hit with the same weapon; the fact he discovered when Ashton fell sick and Roy was incensed by Capet's actions.<br/><br/>Gritting his teeth, Roy tugged Silas and followed the 3. His lungs burned as he sped up his walking pace. He wanted to speak, to explain to anyone, what he thought, but he could barely fit in a word between his soft, rabid panting.<br/><br/>"Are you alright?" asked Silas, his feet keeping up with Roy easily. Roy did not have to walk that fast for his breathing to become worryingly audible.<br/><br/>Roy nodded silently at Silas, and even that stung his chest a little bit. He raised his crossbow to eye-level and changed his walking position to balance his weapon. His view focused in front of him, and it was only hearing the light footsteps of Silas next to him that he knew that the half-demon was still next to him.<br/><br/>The noise of Silas's footsteps became softer and softer, until what was once a human walking besides Roy was a shadowy figure with yellow glowing eyes, moving soundlessly beside him.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>Giles's sword cut through the neck of a guard, and the man crumpled to the ground. Four bodies were scattered on the floor.<br/><br/>Ashton gulped, and looked towards Capet. She did not expect Capet to bleed. Or at least, bleed red blood. Half-jokingly, she always thought that it would be green or black. It was just a minor cut on his hand, courtesy of Brian.<br/><br/>"Filthy demon. You dance like the devil!" Brian yelled out, lunging his sword at Capet again. Capet sidestepped the attack, his face without any emotion.<br/><br/>Ashton felt a heavy blow upon her sword from Giles. The man was not as strong as Claude, but Ashton felt the pressure on her hands like an angry beast pressing on her.<br/><br/>She leapt back, steadying herself and panting. Every man, woman or child Ashton killed, she remembered it like a walk through a downpour the day before. This man, Giles, if Ashton managed to win, would be labelled 'the hardest man she killed'.<br/><br/>"If I win," sighed Ashton.
