Anastasia was comforted by the fact that her peers were willing to fight with her. She guarded the cat-girl, watching as Flare just scared away most of them. Pft. They didn't have any guts. Except for that hooded one, he gave her the chills.

Still, boldly, she took one step forward. "Stay out of here!" she declared, just as he left.

She turned to the others. "Come over here." She went into an alley with them and knelt down. "Keep a lookout for me. I'm going to find us somewhere to hide." She put her hand on the ground and a blue orb appear, fuzzy and glowing. It zoomed out along the ground and up the walls of the buildings, disappearing out of sight.

Ana's eyes were open but they were glazed over. The downside to her ability was that she couldn't see when she used it, because she was seeing through the orb. Seeing through the orb and both her own eyes would break her mind.

After a couple minutes, she stood up, blinking. Her eyes were back to normal now. "Follow me." She started walking.

Flare calmed himself a bit, and followed Anastasia, he watched her actions as he relaxed himself, the sounds of bones cracking and popping back into place heard. If one was paying close attention, it seemed that he had previously dislocated parts of his spine... on purpose.

His pupils returned to normal and he spoke, his voice back to it's normal state as well, "That's an interesting technique you got there huh? You have some kind of bond with it I'd assume."
He looked back to the others to make sure they kept up. He seemed to have some sort of big brother complex watching over the group protectively.

Erasai had followed them into the alley, but seemed unsure whether or not to follow them. She remembered the one Purifiers words, when he branded her a friend of the Unnaturals. Even that wasn't a safe name. She really didn't want to just up and leave this town, her school, and her friends... Not after she had just settled here. But what choice would she have. So, she too, followed Anastasia, though a little more reluctantly.

Anastasia nodded a little at Flare. "I can see through the orb. I see what it sees. But at the time I can't see through my own eyes." She led them to a small warehouse building, it seemed to have been abandoned. She walked around it to a spot, pushing away a large crate that had been partially blocking half of a window that went into the basement. "Here. It's safe in here."

Raine followed them out, silent. She listened to Ana and kept behind the others. She felt...out of place. Like she was different among the different. That was probably just her anti-socialness. She looked behind them, and had the eerie feeling of someone watching. It was like they were being followed. By who, she didn't know. But the feeling was crawling up her stomach, and she didn't like it at all. Raine kept looking behind her, uneasy, and on edge.

Erasai studied the window for a moment, before peering in. It was dimly lit from the sunlight outside, but it seemed empty, save for a few boxes lining the walls. "Looks safe enough," she said, then noticed Raine's uneasiness. "Don't worry... I'll rig this place so we have plenty of warning if someone tries to get in." She smiled and then made her way through the window and into the building.

Anastasia climbed in carefully. "It's okay. Trust me. Right now it's the only option we've got." She'd scouted it out and so she knew it was safe. At least for the moment. Hopefully it would stay that way.

"So...what do we do now?.." She wasn't exactly sure.

(shooort)(Edit: Never realized I posted as Zalia. My bad)

Raine followed her in. "I-I don't know," she said. What was this place? She was still really cautious. It was an unknown place...but she could trust Anastasia. At least for now. Raine took her bubble and elongated him. He then began to glow purple, giving them a soft, cheery light.

"We definitely don't want to run into anyone of the rebel group," Erasai said, looking to each of them. "I haven't been in the city long enough to know where what is, but, do any of you? Is there a safe house nearby?" That was the best idea at the moment. She looked around though, seeing boxes stacked around them. Curious as to what was in them, she went to one, and peeked inside.

"Hmm..." was the only thing that came out of her mouth. She rummaged through, and whatever was inside, seemed to be heavy. She moved to another box, and inspected its contents. Nearly the same. "We, should move soon, since this is where the Purifiers are storing their equipment." She pulled out a uniform, and a gun. "But, when we do leave, we can send this place up in flames. The less they have, the better."

Anastasia shook her head a little. "I don't know. This is the closest I got. It was the only empty place I could find, after all. And it's better than nothing, at least until that group moves on." She sighed and shivered as Erasai pulled out the equipment. "Well...what do we do, then? Where do we go?" She wasn't sure, and it scared her.
