Warnings: Violence.
Open: To Loki or Hannibal, otherwise closed.

Abigail couldn't take it anymore. Sitting around, waiting for those things to kill more people and find a way into the basement to kill them. It was far worse than waiting around for someone to find Nick Boyle's body. And even then, she'd only lasted a few days before she went to dig up the body herself. Papa should have known how crazy the waiting would make her. He couldn't be disappointed or angry if she just went out there to look around, kill anything close to the house and maybe grab some more medical supplies for Sookie. She might even be back before he noticed she was gone. She'd escaped from the hospital back home enough times to know how to run away unseen.

Abigail crept upstairs quietly, armed herself with her rifle and as much ammo as she could carry, then left the house. The hospital wasn't far; it didn't take her long to make her way inside. She went to the post-op icu and began grabbing anything that looked like it could be useful for Sookie's care. She filled her backpack and went back outside, only to find her route home blocked by those things. She realized she couldn't kill all of them before they killed her, and she ran.

Abigail kept running until she was deep in the forest. And then was faced with a familiar problem - who to call for help. If she called Papa, he might try to find her and be killed. Jake was probably fighting those things; she didn't want to distract him. The other Sullys had enough family to look out for already. She glanced her phone and sent a quick message to Kat with her coordinates and asking where the nearest safe place was. Kat would know what to do. Or at least she hoped she would.

Kat heard the gunfire and her friend's voice. [Foolish girl!] Didn't she realize that Kat could get away whenever she wanted? But Katherine's short flare of anger was quickly quenched when she noticed that one of the rifle shots had loosened a part of the armour.

She stumbled to her feet, still shaken from the explosion. She reclaimed her icey dagger and launched an attack, sending a wave of ice towards it. It froze it to the spot but it seemed less than impressed, reclaiming its freedom after a second. "The small ones, Abigail. I take the big guy." She took a jump on it, counting on Abigail to keep her back free, suddenly very grateful that the other girl had stayed. She launched eager to hit the exposed flesh. The thing ripped her from the air with its claw, stabbing her left shoulder and sending a blinding pain through her body. She was flung to the ground, a scream escaping from her lips.

Abigail felt calmer when Katherine got up and spoke. She held her rifle steady and began shooting off the smaller ones. It actually felt good, she could see her father's face on every one of the nasty things. And feel a sense of revenge for Sookie and everyone else hurt by one of those things.

Abigail's momentary thrill faded when she heard the scream and saw her friend on the ground again. Firing at the bigger one this time, she managed to knock off the loosened armor and then pulled out her knife. The one Papa had given her; it was sharper than even her hunting knives. She ran at full speed at the bigger one and stabbed it as deeply as she could, then pulled her knife up, wanting to gut it for what it had done to Kat. She must have severed some of its electrical parts, because she actually felt the electricity running through her, her hands felt like they were burning and the rest of her body was shaking from the shock. More importantly, the creature wasn't trying to kill her. She managed to stand her ground and looked in the creature's eyes. "I got you." She stammered out.

The thing had almost been as strong as her uncle, the force of the throw still shook her body. The side she landed on tried to triumph the stab in her shoulder in run for the most agonizing pain. "Thanks," she pressed through her teeth as she slowly and steadily got back to her feet. "I think you -" The beasts were still circling in on them. She teleported to the next one, rammed the spear into its hard and teleported back. "Uhm, right, run. I'll give you a couple of minutes, then I teleport to the cottage. I'll be fine. I can vanish." Handling the spear with one hand wasn't right and her left arm was less than useless, hanging at her side like a scarf hung around her neck.

Abigail felt sick. Her hands hurt and her chest felt strange. She convinced herself it was just nerves as she yanked her knife out of the creature and watched it fall to the ground.

Abigail glanced over at Katherine while backing up, trying to put enough space between herself and the creatures to start shooting again. She might not have her Papa's medical skills, but she knew that arm looked bad. "You'll be fine? You're not fine now!" She yelled over the sound of the things. "Point me to the cottage if you can point. And then teleport right away!"

	"It's the way I sent you just now..." Kat said. "Run, okay?" Her eyes did not leave the enemies. She was running out of energy, feeling a bit dizzy and the pain in her body was numbing her mind. "I'll knock a few more out and then I am off." With that she send a frost wave to the closest enemy which got rooted to the spot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Abigail glanced back in that direction. It was still clear enough to make a break for it. "Only a few." Abigail repeated, emphasising the only. She had hoped Kat would start to heal quickly, like some of the people on the island could do, but her arm still looked like hell. She didn't want Katherine to end up looking like Monty Pythons' black knight. When this was over, she'd have to ask Kat what she could and couldn't do.

"I expect you to meet me at the cottage." She added and began to run.
