Without much of a warning, Hilary snatched the gun away from Susan and dug around her basket. Yes, somehow through the chaos she still had the damn thing. How was anyone's guess. But she pulled out the extra ammo she'd brought for Miki and an reloaded the gun. It was a lot easier to reload than it was to shoot, at least in her opinion. Once finished she handed it to Miki. "There. Now you're armed."
"Thanks.. I think." Miki blinked in horror but took the gun back. Oh she wanted to have a long talk with Hilary's parents but she knew that would never happen. "I'm not even going to ask."
And then more shit hit the fan. There were more screams and the sound of thundering footsteps as a horde of something came running. Hilary took the initiative and ran toward the sound, sword in one hand and the other hand digging into her basket. She pulled out a small item as she reached the corridor where the sound was coming. Lo and behold a horde of ugly drooling, growling demonized people were heading for them. She put the new item close to her mouth, pulled the pin out with her teeth, and threw it at the horde. Then she dived out of the way and took cover while shouting, "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" She'd always wanted to say that.
The resulting explosion was almost deafening and the corridor the demons were coming from collapsed with debris. Everyone who could, stared at Hilary in shock. She grinned. "I had a Holy Hand Grenade!"
Miki was dumbfounded. Horrified. Whoever brought this child to life had no idea what they'd done. But rather than start in on it all, she decided to make sure everyone was okay. It was then she actually noticed that Victor was hurt. She rushed over to him as best she could. "Holy shit! What happened to you?" Her concern was a little more important than her bitchy behavior at his pre-Halloween antics. "How long have you been like this?"
Hilary rolled her eyes. Figured. Her thunder was stolen by Superdork. Ugh.
