She was in a daze, then looked back at Jake. She tried to ignore the fact he was shirtless, but it was rather hard. "What?" She asked him sort of snappishly.

"whats wrong? i could tell something was off with you."

She felt something hit the pit of her stomach. "Well I'm freaking out because of the blade that just came out of nowhere. " She said trying to avoid his question.

"alright, " Jake lays down on the mat and attempts to sleepon his stomache feeling the pain of the burn still on his back, his tattoo of a odd language on his shoulders.

"What are you doing!? We're being attacked and you're just sleeping!?" She cried watching him get comfortable.

And with one stomp, a hole was formed, the leftover wood crumbled down, caring a figure on its back, though concealing them behind a cloud of dust.
They waved it away quickly, Revealing pitch black skin that had a slight tint of purple, their long curly hair was the complete opposite and was an aquamarine blue decorated with swirls of pink which covered her eyes, her clothes were a lighter purple. They were holding a double-sided spear; the one that had easily went through the cabin, and they stood tall at a 6'4. But despite their menacing appearance and aggressive breathing, they looked banging up and were putting a lot of weight on their weapon.

Mallory was shocked and backed up, tripping over some rubble on the ground. She fell back onto her back and looked up at the figure.

They looked up and shook their hair out of their face, revealing their lavender eyes that stared sharper than their spear and they had something on their left shoulder, it looked like some sort of large jewel with greens and blacks and pinks and many other colors.

Mallory panicked and pushed herself further and further away from the figure. 'I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die!' Her thoughts echoed as she hit the wall, having moved away as far as she could.

But instead of attacking, they stood up as straight as they could and looked around the room.
"Oh, it's just a native." The stranger said, snapping a finger and removing the blades of the spear in a puff of light. "They're of no danger to us." They stared down at Mallory, making a face of what looked to be sympathetic, as best as this strange scowling woman could make, though it came out looking testy.

I once again had a protective arm over Mal.

"Who are you and why do you think you can just break into Haven?" my words were calm but with a hint of a warning to it as my lightning pendant glowed.

While this was happening, the young woman from outside and seen the break in and rushed back into Haven, her handgun drawn.

She looked curiously at the pendant instead of answering, slowly bringing her blunted spear to it before the woman ran inside, startling her so much, the stranger threw her weapon at her with terrifying speed. If it wasn't smoothed out it would have cut you in seconds, but still, it likely wasn't best to throw something at someone with a gun.

The woman caught it an inch from her face, now really not in the best mood.

"Ember! Alright put the gun away you just scared her." I explain

"She better be able to explain herself." Ember grumbled

"I think s-oh you look hurt! are you okay?" I ask as I got a better look at the the mystery woman

Mallory was breathing heavily and watching the action unfold in front of her. She slowly got up from her place on the floor and came up behind Tempest.

She sighed and fell to her knees from the shock, her eyes closed tight as she whiped ash from her face and tried to shake the cinders from her hair but with no luck. "I'm fine…" She muttered through clenched teeth. The spear vanished from Ember's grasp into nothing, whoever this was seemed to be holding something, was it another weapon?

I kneeled by the woman's side "Miss we can help you we need to know why you-what do you have there?" I asked gently

She brought it closer to herself and tried to cover it up, but a little glimmer of gold and ochre peaked through her grip. "Why do you want to know?" She growled softly. But she looked to be calming down, though still protective of what she held.

Mallory was hesitant to help the lady. She wasn't sure what her intentions were, but they seemed devious.

"well for starters how did you find us?" I ask, not pressuring her any longer about what she was holding

She hesitated before answering "…You know that ship not too far from here? That's mine. I found this place when seeking shelter, but I heard your voices and thought you were from….. I thought you were dangerous. So I was going to take you by surprise and shatter you, but you're all harmless Earthlings, so I decided against it." They explained.

"Well I appreciate your change of mind, and we'll-" I glanced over at Ember "both help you in anyway we can"

"Are you sure you know what you're getting yourself into..?" She asked wearily, though with a faint smile.

"Trust me we're already dealing with some serious shit, we'll be able to help with whatever problems you're having." Ember commented, slowly relaxing around the woman "What's your name?" she asked as she holstered her gun.

Mallory was absaloutly silent unsure what to say. She had crossed arms and an eased expression.
