Kat stands with her arm outstretched, surprised. After a moment, her legs give out, and she collapses. She stabs her sword into the ground to stop from falling, but her knees still hit the ground.
"Are you alright, Kat?" Cade calls, "Or do I have to take your place fighting the E."
"Shut up, Cade," Kat growls back.
Cade laughs, "If your that grumpy, you must be ok."
Kat slowly gets to her feet and leans heavily on her sword. She tries to stand on her own and pain shoots through her side. Kat looks at the wound the Alteration gave her at the beginning of the battle and see that it was deeper than she had initially thought.
The wound on her back starts throbbing, and she sighs. She pulls her sword out the ground and carefully makes her way over to where Cade is.
When she gets there, Cade is already on the ground, "So you are alive."
She glares at him, "Did you call Silias?"
"Of course, but it wasn't long after the call ended that the Alterations vanished."
Kat nods, "Just as I was starting to get serious, the E turned to bones."
Cade looks in the distance, "He hijacked, that's not good."
"He didn't match the description we were given besides that he could talk."
Cade looks at her, startled, "Then what happened to our target."
Kat shrugs, "I don't know, he didn't say much but from what he did say I figure the Queen is the one who ordered this."
Cade glances at her side, "I'm going to do what I can salvage from the house. Will you be able to handle it if I leave?"
Kat nods, "And bring me back some pills."
He smiles, "Not getting dependant, are you?"
She glares at him, and he laughs while walking off. She wipes her swords off the best that she can on her blood-stained dress. She's starting to grow frustrated when Cade returns.
He tosses her some clothes and her pills. She eats a couple before checking out the clothing. A pair of pants she assumes came from his collection and a shirt that she vaguely remembers Adalia talking about. She strips off the tattered dress and puts on what he brought her.
He tosses her a bandage kit which she uses on she side wound before finishing wiping her swords.
Once Cade is sure she is done, he says "The house is completely trashed. Most of the weapons are safe, but the council will have to build a new house."
"From the looks of this place the council will have to do more that that," A man comments walking up.
The man is holding a spear and dressed in casual clothing, a girl with long hair trails after him carrying steel fists.
"Jace, Maia," Cade smiles, "Are you the only one Silias sent."
"No," Jace replies, returning Cade's smile, "But I wanted to see what would make the great Kat ask for back up."
In a flash Kat hand one of her swords resting against Jace's neck. The other one had maneuvered his attack to block Maia's fist, and Cade was pointing his crossbow at Jace.
