Collateral Damage
Who: Cathair and Cooper
Where: Uniform-1
When: Early morning
A crash in the next room woke Cathair from his sleep, which hadn't been that restful anyways. Eden had locked herself in her closet in an attempt to muffle the sounds that were getting progressively worse. If he and Jamie's mad conclusion, which was looking more and more likely true, was right, it would only get worse.
He'd taken up in a chair by her door, not wanting to make it any worse for her by crowding her. If they were right, it wasn't wise to be here, but he couldn't very well leave her alone if something else was going on.
Cath went for the kitchen knife near him, which was poor defense if what he and Jamie had surmised was true. "Eden?" he called out as he started to rise. Only to be taken down far too easily by a black form. He could hear the snarling and feel the beast's breath on him, see the bright slitted eyes. He had no chance to cushion his fall at all, his head smacking hard into the floor as he connected with it. The room swam for a moment as he tried to struggle to his feet, then it began to fade to black. Then, nothing.
The morning light shone brightly on Cathair's form crumpled against one of the cottage walls. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't dead. He was likely badly concussed and bruised from getting in Eden's way as she made her exit. He let out a soft groan and shifted as he started to wake up.
