"Aww. It's okay, I can put you out." Meri responded earnestly. They were about ten meters from Tara's apartment when there was a shaking sound, like wood giving in, from behind them.
Tara stopped, turning to look back, as the entire top floor of the building collapsed into the bar.
Her eyes widened and she ran back towards it.
Meri put her finger in her mouth nervously. "..oops.."

What speed! It's so.. inhuman. He thought. He was amazed by her speed, and her intelegence knowing where he was. It was amazing, but it wasn't enough. He quickly jerked his hand back and with two fingers, sotfly jabbed at her throat. It wasn't an attempt to kill, just another attempt to knock her out.

"St- don't.. Xiel.." Her eyes were watering by the time he managed to knock her out. She was so angry that she couldn't do anything...
Her eyes closed, and the one katar she'd carried out hit the ground sideways. She'd tried yelling for Xiel again, but it hadn't helped her now.
Sara was small. Her red hair fell all around her head, and she was still wearing the same she'd worn yesterday.. She could fight, but any physical advantages were always huge on her..

She quickly fell to the ground, but before she reached it, about seven inches above, Dyrza reached behind her and held her head. He kneeled and raised her to an upright position. He picked her up and placed her upon his shoulder. Her weight was nothing. He then begun to walk into the camp. He only wanted to get his sister out, no one else really mattered to him. He tryed to scry for her, but her mind was strong. He couldn't find anything. He was left with one option, search and find. He saw a row of cells in one direction. He begun to walk that way, hoping she'd be there.

Nyx was further down. She was still waiting. Her eyes were on the floor directly in front of her.
They rose when she heard her brother coming. She didn't know how she knew it was him, but it was.
Around Nyx's neck was a collar, which had been chained to the bars. Every slave kept here was chained, but she had a generally more difficult time, since the cell she was in was also barred. She was strong, but not that strong.
She clinked the chain against the bar with her wrist and smiled at him from where she was.
There were no words exchanged, just relief.

Dyrza also smiled when he saw where she was. He walked over to her, and softly placed Sara on the ground. He drew the leather handled sword on his right. It curved in an upward position, as it slowly came from the sheith. He took a step back, and swung at the bars a few feet above her head. A loud noise was made, then he swung again, this time at the bars below her. The now free bars then fell to the ground, while the bar that held his sister prisoner pulled her outside as it too fell, and bounced. He quickly swiped once again, releasing her from her imprisonment, but she still had chain and a collar around her neck. That didn't matter, it would be ridded of in due time. He let out a small grin, this time in glee instead of anger. He was also happy it took him such little time to find her as well. He then sheithed his sword, which was amazingly undamaged. Bent down, and picked up Sara once more, this time he cradled her like a baby. He begun a jog, leading the way out of the camp. Hoping not to run into anymore soldiers.

Nyx was the first to noticed Sara waking. Her eyes adjusted to where she was, and the child panicked. They were almost out of the camp, when..
"WAHHHGGGH! Put me down! Leggo of me! Stop it!!"
"Shh!!" Nyx hissed.
The girl whimpered, pushing against him. "I'll- I'll beat you up if you don't- put me down!"
The soldiers were coming back.. and in much higher numbers..

Dyrza quickly placed Sara on the ground. He didn't want to deal with her. Now that he had his sister, and she was awake.. He didn't have to worry about her carelessly getting hurt from the others. He let his left arm fall, and her feet fell to the ground. He then beckoned to Nyx, that they would run for it.

"..this place..is dangerous." Nyx told her before they both ran from the campsite.
Sara was rubbing her neck. She whimpered a little about that. The witch escaped. She was supposed to keep her there..
The guards advanced.. sortof. They went a few paces, fell back.. didn't really want to get into that kind of danger..
When the two exited the gates they stopped, letting them pass free.
Sara groaned, sitting down. "..stupid everything..."

As they were almost a mile away from the camp, Dyrza begun to slow down to a walk. He didn't think they would chase them anyways. After a few moments, he came to a halt next to a tree, he leaned against it and looked at his sister. They'd not seen eachother in years. He grinned as he looked at her, and he again flipped the hair from his face. He closed his eyes and leaned his head back. He opened them looking up, the sun had hardly risen into the sky yet. The trees blocked it from his eyes. The air was warm yet moist, he was content. And once again, happy.. Happy that his sister was free.

Nyx smiled back. Her face was paler than usual. It had been a long time since they had been out of there. She was finally free to exchange words with someone who would understand this. She didn't need to say anything- he understood that too.
But she spoke anyway.
"You came quickly."
-----
Tara pushed back her hair. She swallowed in the back of her throat.
"..it.." she started. She shook her head,and turned again, on one heel.
"..hurry up. We got places to be..." she grunted, pushing past.
Meri's bottom lip twitched, and she chased after. There was a lot of speed that they were moving at..

Kougi shook his head sadly...then realized he was being left behind.
"Hey!! Wait up! i'm not meant for running!"
Clutching his hat in one hand, he ran as fast as he could after the speedy women.

Rather suprised, knowing his sister prefered scilence, he opened his eyes when he heard her speek. He looked at her and let out a large smile, showing his teeth.
"It was necessary."

Tara didn't respond. She had.. nothing of real value there, anyway..
Just her job, home, and all her worldly posessions..
A sigh came from the back of her throat. Damnit..
She stopped a few feet outside of town. Ahead of her, behind one of the trees, were two people who looked to have some kind of elven heritage.
Tara was half elf, but this was very strange. It had been so long since she'd seen anyone like that.
Why would they be out here, so close to the slave caravan?
"Um. Hello there?" she waved.
Nyx frowned a little, stepping behind her brother. She had a pale tone to her, that really spoke of her silent nature. She was clothed entirely in black, which contrasted strongly against her striking hair, a brilliant white.
But she seemed nervous, and didn't respond.
"hihi!" Meri chimed cheerfully. "Where are you from? It's dangerous out here, you know!"
