"Rokkel!" Lukas hisses, catching up to her. Rokkel glances over lazily, quirking an eyebrow.
"Yeah?"
"Are you even paying attention. There's another in the woods," Lukas says.
"Another monster?"
"Ugh. No. Demigod."
Suddenly, Addi's body went ridgid. She could sense demigods. There were two. And they were traveling together. They weren't a threat, but one could never be so sure. Grabbing her shoes, she removed her feet from the water and stood. They would probably come to her. "Great. My luck, they'd lead the monsters straight to me," she laughed without any humor. Running her fingers through her red hair, she waited.
Ultima was near one of his shelters, he recognized the faint pathway and started jogging towards it. He needed to rest for a bit, but soon he would have to start running again. From those things; he only knew a bit of what they were and what he was. Ultima knew that he was a demigod of Poseiden. When Ultima reached his shelter, he sensed three seperate presenses, he didn't sense any threats, but if he could sense them then thay might be able to sense him. So he tried to dampen his presense, a special thing he had been training with his master who he was seperated not too long ago. But just as Jack tensed he felt the presense of the thing that was following him, he froze.
As Abbi waited, she felt another demigod. but just as fast as it came, it went. "Smart. But, not smart enough," she laughed. He was trying to lessen his presence. Suddenly, she felt another being. A monster. "Uggh!" she quielty groaned. Pulling her sword from it's case, she held it, ready for a fight. Hopefully, if she needed it, one of the demigods would come to her aid. She would gladly do the same.

Rokkel pauses, holding a hand up and nocking an arrow. "Whatever you do, Lukas, be quiet," she whispers, moving through the shadows. Lukas frowns, staying close, one hand resting on the hilt of his sword.
A quick decision made Ultima jump and run for his life, he didn't even care to hide his presense anymore because that thing could probably smell. He could sense a stream up ahead, just because he was the son of Posiedon. He knew that if he was able to reach the stream he might be able to fight off the monster. So he sped forward until he almost tripped into the clearing.
Rokkel freezes, spotting Ultima, her inky hair swirling around her from her sudden decision to stop. Lukas frowns, pacing near her. "What think you, Rocky?" he mutters.
"What I think is that you'll get us killed dead," Rokkel snaps in reply.
He senses something watching him, in a hurry he slips a small throwing knife out and throws it at the person who is looking at him. The knife missess and is wedged tightly into a tree. It takes Ultima a second to register who he's looking at, it's not a monster. It's two humans, most likely demigod. "Uh.... I'm sorry.... Hehehe......"
Rache'l had been following Ultima for a while her presence she was able to control so the monster and the other demigods couldn't sense her. Rache'l had been tracking the monster for days unseen waiting to see what it would do. When she found a clear shot she launched her throwing knife at the monster hitting it in the head killing it. She stood up in the very top of tree her torn cape blowing in the wind.
Rokkel frowns slightly, cocking her head to one side in her typical gesture of thoughtfulness. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. My mother wouldn't take it lightly," she scolds playfully, shrugging. Her copper eyes hinted at amusement. Lukas elbows her.
"Shut up, Rokkel. Your mother wouldn't care less."
"Says you."
"Just shut up."
Rokkel glares at him, crossing her arms. "Well, no surprise we've been plagued by monsters. There were more in the area," she comments. "I can't say I'm pleased to know that."
Rache'l snapped her fingers and let on fire before releasing her presence and then burned to a crisp. She then stood up in a different tree in the middle. She had used her favorite trick to get away and she quickly hid her presence again.
Ultima didn't know what to do, "look... I'm sorry.... Name's Ultima." He held out his hand, trying to lessen the tension that was building.
Rache'l snapped her fingers again and traveled again by fire when she reached a tree branch visible to all she clapped. "Bravo Bravo great running next time you should have aimed the knife at the monster not at the people." laughed Rache'l
"Well... I can't help the fact that I thought the were monsters at first......." There's a long pause of silence as Ultima walks over to the knife and pulls it out. The bronze gold knife is carved with ancient symbols. The word alpha and beta. Ultima slips it back into his knife jacket.
"Yes well if you had aimed for the monster chasing you it would have been over faster." pointed out Rache'l "So now what are we going to do." she asked clapping her hands together once
"...." Ultima looked away, "... Your right...." He started walking off, but he hesitated. A good idea was forming in his head. He turned around, "how about forming a group! Safety in numbers!" Ultima looked around the small crowd, "right?"
"I don't know do you trust me?" she said with a sly grin like her father. She maybe nicer than him but she was much more liker him than her mother had hoped.
Rokkel snickers, tossing her silky black hair back. "Watchin' over more monster bait? Lukas is enough. But if you insist... Maybe... Just maybe..."
Lukas elbows her hard, making sure to shock her while he was at it. "Alright, Rokkel. That's enough. You've been a complete auber kontrolle schlampe since this started."
"Înapoi, Lukas. I'm trying to keep you alive."
