Derek pulled out the gun and checked that the safety was off and it was ready to fire. It still wasn't his weapon of choice, but he was glad he had it right now. If they could pick these guys off without getting too close, that was the safest option. Of course, there was also always the chance that bullets and arrows wouldn't take them down. That's why there was backup on the way.

A quick jerk of his head in the direction of a tree with better cover for Judith and he was off to his own hiding spot, keeping a close eye on her and her progress. Once they were both settled in and ready, he held up a hand and counted down using his fingers.

When he got to one, he took a deep breath and held it as he stepped out and opened fire on the chimera.

Following the subtly communicated suggestion, Judith started to move, slowly and carefully until she was able to get behind the tree he'd indicated. It was a shame she wouldn't have time to climb it, because she could definitely get in a better shot, but the branches were too high for her to reach on her own and it was a little too late to ask Derek for a boost.

Instead, she aimed the crossbow at the girl they'd followed, since she was the first priority in this mission and she gave Derek a sideways glance, waiting for his signal.

When he got to one, Judith's eyes shifted back to double check her aim and then she pulled the trigger, sending the arrow directly into the back of the female chimera's neck, dropping her. It might not kill her, but it'd slow her down enough for the moment and Judith didn't have a lot of time to react. She pulled another arrow and loaded it quickly, taking aim on the gangly male chimera while she still had the element of surprise — and the chimeras' subsequent flash of shock and confusion — on her side.

She managed to take him down with one shot, not missing the aim for his head and she loaded up the crossbow again, but didn't have time to actually line up a shot by the female had dragged the arrow back out of her throat and had started — too quickly — toward her.

Instead of taking another shot, Judith lunged forward to meet the girl halfway and swung the metal frame of the crossbow in the air, slamming it into the girl's face with all the force she could muster, knocking the girl back a few steps and slowing her down again.

Derek managed to get in two quick head shots thanks to Braeden's tutelage and both of his targets went down fast. He wasn't sure if they would stay down, but when he realized that Judith was in trouble, he decided not to worry about that for the moment and rushed across the yard to help her.

She got off a good hit with her bow, but the girl was already moving towards Judith again. Derek stuffed the gun in his jeans and focused on letting his claws grow, eyes glowing bright yellow. He growled and launched himself at her, claws automatically aiming for the carotid artery in her neck.

Judith took advantage of Derek's distraction of the beast to set up and aim the crossbow and carefully followed their movements to try to get in a shot without hitting Derek.

As the two of them tangled, Derek on the offensive and the chimera attempting to dodge repeated attacks, Judith noticed belatedly the girl growing a tail. "Derek, move!" she finally yelped, half in panic mode because the last time she'd seen a tail like that on one of those damn things, it'd been part-kanima. "Tail!" she warned and, as soon as Derek's head was cleared of her shot, Judith took it.

The arrow embedded itself in the girl's left eye with a sickening, watery thunk and Judith let out the breath she didn't realize she'd been holding, gasping for air right afterward. She reached back and grabbed one of her arrows, loading the crossbow again, quickly, as she panted for air, wanting it to be ready, just in case one of the damn things wasn't quite as dead as they thought. "Derek, you okay?" she asked, to make sure the tail hadn't swiped him; that he wasn't seconds away from dropping, himself, paralysed from venom neither of them had expected to have to avoid. She hadn't seen it happen, so she hoped that meant it hadn't, rather than that it had been a blink and miss it situation.

The shouted warning was enough to prevent Derek from being swiped by the tail. Fuck, these chimera were more of a challenge than the nogitsune. He was relieved when the arrow pierced the girl's eye and he bent over at the waist, resting his hands on his knees for a moment.

His ears didn't pick up any movement other than Judith, so he was hoping that meant they had actually dispatched this group. "I'm fine," he said. "You okay?" He straightened up and gave her a critical once over, looking for any sign that she had been injured in the melee.

Judith was rigidly on alert until Derek said that he was fine, because he collapsed forward a little and she suspected that if he'd smelled any other potential threat, he wouldn't have relaxed like that. Judith leaned back against the nearest tree and lowered herself onto the ground, breathing heavily now that she felt like it was safe enough to rest to catch her breath.

At his question, she gave him a tired smile and nodded against the tree trunk, her eyes closing in a slow blink. "Yeah...yeah, I'm okay. I ain't hurt. Shit...no wonder Carl done had her as the priority hit," she huffed, a barked laugh that had little sound left for her breathlessness. That was an exaggeration; Carl had her as the priority hit because he knew for certain that she was a chimera and there was no room for doubt. He hadn't known what she was. "Christ all fuckin' Mighty," she sighed, pushing herself back up to her feet after catching her breath. "We done make a pretty good team, you know that? Thanks for savin' my ass. Guess we're even now and I ain't allowed to pick on ya no more."

Derek chuckled. "Somehow, I don't think that's going to stop you, Judith," he said. But he was relieved that they were both okay and had managed to take out this cluster of chimera.

Which of course was when all of their backup seemed to arrive. He heard Stilinski's piece of shit Jeep sputtering to a stop up the road a way and knew they would be here within minutes. "Sounds like the cavalry is here. You want to actually meet them?"

If she wanted to take off, he wouldn't blame her.

In spite of herself, Judith laughed, looking back up at him. "Prob'ly not," she agreed. At his announcement, Judith looked up toward the road down which they'd come and shook her head.

"If I'm bein' honest?" she asked, looking back at Derek and lifting her eyebrows slightly, somewhat apologetic.

She finally started moving again, approaching the bodies of the chimera she'd taken out with the arrows, hefting the arrows back out of them with effort, to shove back into her quiver. Money was tight; she couldn't afford to be down two arrows however long it would take for her to save up enough money to buy more.

"Not really," she finally finished the answer she'd left hanging. "Seems like I don't really need 'em all that much and they strike me as the type that gets a li'l clingy with people once they meet 'em. I ain't got time for all that friendship bullshit, not with them, anyways."

That was pretty much the answer Derek was expecting. It was probably a good thing that he and Judith managed to take out the chimera before they showed up, considering the ruckus they were making as they piled out of the jeep. He sighed, rolling his eyes. "Take off," he said, nodding towards the woods they had traversed to get there. "Go back the way we came. Fill your brother in on what happened. I'll catch up with you later."

He knew it would drive McCall and the others crazy when he refused to share any information about his companion, but that didn't matter much to him. He and Judith managed more in a matter of hours than they had accomplished in weeks.

"You gonna hitch a ride back with them guys?" she asked, wanting to make sure that she wasn't leaving Derek in the lurch if she went. The thing was that she just...didn't really want anything to do with that pack. They only ever managed to get in her people's way and a large part of her resented them for it. McCall's pack tended to make more messes than it cleaned up, in her opinion.

	"I'll be fine," he assured her. Worst came to worst, he could shift and run home. It wasn't really all that far. He could understand her hesitation to meet the others, which was why he asked if she wanted to. If given the choice, he wouldn't really associate with them anymore either, but circumstances being what they were, he was kind of stuck with them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hefting her crossbow onto her shoulder, Judith nodded and gave him a small smile. Maybe he wouldn't disappear on her this time, but she supposed if he did then it was what it was.

"All right, I'll see you 'round, Derek."

With that, she started off back through the woods, taking a longer route to avoid the McCall pack on her way back to the truck, texting Carl as she went.
