Not too far from the cabin lay the crash site, the fire seemed to have been put out, but the sputtering of a dying engine coughed out more smoke and broken lights tried to keep themselves on. Yellow tinted glass was everywhere in the crater where a red orb sat, sunken halfway into the ground. The grass around it was shriveled and charred from the flames as flakes of ash flew somberly through the wind.

I have Mal briefly the injured male as my pendant around my neck shifted into an old key which I stuff into an even more ancient looking lock. It clicks and swings open. Mal and I pull the poor guy inside and I annonce to the nearest person, a demon looking gentleman to fetch a man named Charlie. We appeared to be in a lobby type area perhaps a common area for it seemed to be the most creature dense area. There was even a front desk. A sharply dressed young man looked at the three, not saying a word though.

Mallory didn't dare speak above a whisper. She didn't know these people, yet knew their thoughts. She heard them echoing in her head. She looked at Haven and telepathically sent a simple message to him. 'What now?'

I look up at the man in some fear. "who is this?"

"Keep calm and follow us for now, we'll get you two rooms in a little while." I responded as a taller lighter toned African american man came from down a side hall

"Tempest get him here, is the girl hurt too?" his voice was deep but calming

Jake thought in his head A girl was injured as well?

Jake then looks to the side and tiredly tries to stand. " is there any food here?"

I looked at the man and shook my head. "I'm alright, I don't need any medical attention."

"You can get food after we patch you up." the man in scrubs said, his voice stern and with a little hint of his African descent as he gently took Jake by the shoulder and started to steer him where he had emerged from. I followed close behind meaning for Mal to as well.

A young woman, not a teenager mind you was out checking the permintor for any feral Shadows

I followed in silence trying to keep up with Temp. I studied him for the first time sense we met. I wasn't sure what I was expecting when I found another one like me. Maybe like Cedric, but I don't know if I could handle it. Him being my twin and all. Even thinking of him gets me all teary eyed…

Jake went with him. following silently.

Charlie lifted Jake easily and put him on a those paper covered spots that one would sit at during a normal doctor visit. He quickly patched up the head wound and treated the burns with a goopy feeling gel "There will be heavy scarring. I'm sorry about that…you're lucky to have been found by these two." He took a small golden square from his scrubs pocket "Eat this please, it's important you do if you want to speed up healing."

Eats the square ,slightly gags at the sour foul taste.

While the taste was unpleasant, the strength returning to his limbs certainly wasn't.

"Is he gonna be okay Doc?" I asked

"I do believe so, he was just roughed up compared to how Zera came in last month."

Just then, a quiet creak came from the roof, and as the cabin was in bad condition, sawdust sprinkled down ominously. Something was up there, and it was very unlikely to be a raccoon, maybe a big one?? (Even then it would still be a problem.)

As the young woman was checking the outside she looked up at the roof of the cabin "What the hell is that?" She wondered out loud as she unclipped her handgun from her holster

Jake removed his shirt to look at his burns. "WOAH ITS LIKE HELLA BAD!"

Everything went quiet for a moment before something stabbed right through the wood, the weapon retreated before it reappeared on the other side, causing chips of roof to fall off.

Mallory wiped her eyes and tried to push away the thoughts. "Y-yeah, it doesn't look good." She said looking up at Jake.

She screamed when this happened. She literally wasn't able to stop herself. "What the hell was that???"

Jake looked at Mal
