Eyes darting, lowers head Ssshh... I mean no harm. Here, sanctuary...whimpers
Firestar
look at him your hurt?
Nods nervously Y-yes... I was attacked by hunters. They shot me with silver-tipped bullets... winces in pain It hurts, but I'll be fine.
Firestar
uses my powers to heal him
Closes his eyes, feels the healing energy Thank you... Firestar... whispers your powers... they're incredible...
Firestar
Your welcome..smiles I'm glad you feel better...so how did this happen?
Takes a deep breath, speaks softly It was a dark night... I sensed their presence, but I couldn't escape in time. They cornered me, trapped me...
Firestar
Those damn hunters...they'll pay for this. How many were there?
Looks around cautiously, leans in closer There were five of them. Armed with guns, knives... one even had a wolfsbane torch. Whispers
Firestar
gasps
Whispers urgently We need to be careful. They may come back. We should fortify the house, set up traps... make it impenetrable.
Firestar
Ok let's start by setting up booby traps
Nods, gets up from the floor Good idea. I'll gather some materials while you work on setting up the traps. Meet me in the basement in ten minutes.
Firestar
ok
rushes to the garage, rummaging through the toolbox and shelves Gotta find something... Ah! grabs a bag of nails and a hammer Perfect.
Firestar
sets up traps
<As Firestar sets up the traps, Fang discovers a hidden stash of wolfsbane in the basement.>
Firestar
what is that?
Picks up the bag of wolfsbane, eyes widening Oh no... this isn't good. Whispers These hunters must have been planning something...
Firestar
Well, we can't let them succeed. Let's get rid of this wolfsbane. We won't let them stop us from being together, will we?
Grits teeth, determination in his eyes No, we won't let them win. We'll destroy this wolfsbane and make sure they never find us.
Firestar
picks up the wolfsbane and burns it
Watches as the wolfsbane burns, whispering Good riddance... pauses, looks at Firestar Are you alright? Did it hurt you?
Firestar
Nope
Steps closer to Firestar, eyes searching for any signs of distress Are you sure? You took quite a risk burning it like that...
Firestar
It didn't hurt me because I'm not weak, Fang.
Eyes soften, reaches out to caress Firestar's cheek I know, Firestar. I know you're strong. But sometimes, even the strongest need a little care.
Firestar
blushes and looks away That's not necessary, Fang...I can take care of myself.
Smirks, leans in closer to Firestar Oh, I know you can, Firestar. But that doesn't mean I can't take care of you too.
