I watched as Cujo single-handedly took care of the shooters. I have to admit I was a little jealous that I didn't really get a fight in, when I was itching to fight so badly, but I was fine with letting him take the ropes for a change. I turned around to see if the others had gotten hit, but Aki, Deichi, Phyllis, and Luc all seemed to be ok, though I didn't think I'd mind if Deichi had been shot... maybe that would keep him quiet for a few minutes. :)
I turned my attention back to Cujo and saw he was jumping for the train, but he was not going to reach the doorway. Quickly changing forms into an angel, which had wings which was what I was going for, I reached out, grabbing his arm. I yanked him into the train car, having to use my wings for added strength.
Folding my wings delicately on my back, I knelt at Cujo's side, making sure he was ok. He was just trying to catch his breath. "Thanks," he panted, smiling up at me to prove he was ok.
I nodded as I moved back to the door. I didn't see anyone else out there, but we couldn't really be sure. "I'm going to go into the sky and look out into the forest to see if there are any others out there," I told them as I prepared to jump out of the car.
"Wait," Aki stopped me. "I want to come too."
I nodded. "Two sets of eyes is better than one." Together, we dove out of the car and sailed into the sky. I enjoyed the wind in my bleach blonde hair, sending cool chills down my spine.
Scanning the forest, I checked for any signs of jeeps and whatever else might be after us. "Look over there!" Aki yelled at me, pointing to a group of jeeps a few miles back, but were clearly following the train.
"I wonder what these people want with us? OR how they knew we were on the train," I said aloud. "Come on, let's go warn the others. We may have to think of an alternative route."
Aki nodded as we made our way back to the train, I landed after Aki before explaining everything we had just seen.
