Rescue mission (private for Lindsey and myself)

"I'm fine babe." Katy said before she winced, she did tend to be flirty with just about everyone. She tried her best to prevent it but it did sometimes stick out. Even tired, she still looked gorgeous, being a Hunter as well Katy represented one of the most desirable forbidden beauties. She tended to draw unwelcome attention from monsters, boys and the girls as well.
"Sorry but really I am okay Aria if anything you should rest and let me drive for a bit." She suggested carefully, not wanting to provoke the wrath of the other Hunter.
The car really did smell, she wished they had stolen something cleaner instead. But they really didn't have much choice. Katy didn't know Em or the other Hunters on this mission too well however, they were her sisters so if they were in trouble she would go help them. Besides, if she hadn't volunteered to go with Aria, her sister would have gone regardless.

She wished she had brought her guitar with them, her fingers drummed the dash tunelessly as they itched for something to do. Katy wanted to play a song but she didn't have her beloved instrument with her. "They'll be okay." Katy whispered her Polish accent filling her voice. "If what you've told me about Em is true then she'll have found some way to survive." She hoped to soothe Aria, not provoke her wrath. Katy did not want to be the monster facing her today, though she wouldn't admit it but Katarina Ziechcinska Wioleta Los, daughter of Himeros was more than a bit wary of the daughter of Zeus.

Katy was silent for a while. "Yeah but that might bring a lot of mortals on our tails and I don't think my power would work on the state police." That might have been a joke but it didn't possess the right tone. Something had to be off, with the exception of Em, the other Hunters were both veterans or had been. They shouldn't have been so easily bested.
"Do you want me to take over?" She offered to Aria, doubting that she would accept the offer. Katarina happened to be more than find with letting Aria take the lead, not only was she a better fighter, she also had been a Hunter longer than Katy. It made sense for her to be in command.

She wondered how long Emily might manage to survive for, the monsters tended to go for her first because she was just that fraction slower than the rest when it came to moving. She kept up okay, but by Zeus she could never dodge as fast as them.
How she happened to be the last Hunter standing Katy did not know. Perhaps there was more to Em that she appeared or allowed herself to be?

"Yes because I happen to like not being shot at!" Katy exclaimed. "You think I don't? We cannot help them if we get arrested." She added quietly, well aware that getting into an argument with a daughter of Zeus happened to be a terrible idea.
Katy shut her eyes as Aria weaved through the traffic, she didn't get scared much but Aria's in a hurry angry driving was terrifying.
Katy was grateful when they stopped for a bite to eat, though Aria had to scare off some guys who decided to flirt with the other Hunter whilst Aria paid for their food. Katy sucked at getting people to leave her alone.

"Relax beautiful, this will be just like Dublin." She offered Aria a nervous smile, Katy expected Aria remembered Dublin very differently to her, since it involved a lot of running, fighting and crawling through disgusting pipes.

"Yeah this is definitely like Dublin." Katy muttered quietly to herself, she ignored the looks given to her by a teenage guy who looked about her age. She winked at him playfully before mentally kicking herself for it. At least with Aria here, he would not be able to attempt something.
Katy jumped when Aria whispered to her, it caught her off guard. "Solid copy babe." She winced, the more nervous Katy got the more flirty she tended to become. The other Hunters had to just deal with it, because despite her best efforts Katy could not help it. As they became surrounded by darkness, Katy paused too to place her own night vision glasses on. "Just like Dublin but with a dragon." She whispered to herself nervously, glad that Aria appeared to be so calm.

They walked on a bit more, Katy trying not to gag on the disgusting smells which surrounded them. The path the pair walked down eventually widened till they found themselves in what could be described as a large cavern, with a ceiling that bristled with stalactites (I'm not certain if that is the right one). Near the entrance to their tunnel lay a body, not Em's. It was close to the entrance so that Katy only noticed it because her boot brushed it. "Aria, we've got a sister down." She knelt next to the fallen Hunter, checking for a pulse. She shook her head, a silent single to Aria that they were down a Hunter. "Guess Ann-Marie won't be complaining about my music no more." She whispered quietly, her voice sad and disheartened by the loss of a Hunter.

"Her bravery was never in doubt only her taste in music." Katy replied to Aria, despite the constantly sniping at each other Ann-marie and Katy had been good friends. She was a good hunter, but even their best could still fall against the monsters they hunted.
"By Zeus that is not good." Katy echoed, especially if their were hatchlings around. It might help explain as to why three hunters got all but wiped out in a fight.

She followed after Aria, avoiding the bones as best she could. The sudden burst of heat and flame, forced Katy to take cover in the corridor which they charged somewhat stealthily through to get here. "Five by five, I got this." She acknowledge Aria's instruction well order, opening up with her repeater crossbow. A couple of the bolts pinged harmlessly off of it's scales however one of them punched through sinking into the monster's flesh causing it to howl in pain. The dragon turned, unleashing a torrent of fire at the Polish hunter. She dived to the ground, rolling to avoid the blast of fire.

Slummed against the wall lay the form of Em, she appeared to still be alive judging from the gentle movement of her chest caused by her breathing. The young hunter must have been hit by the dragon's tail and flung against the wall. The were still missing the third hunter however. Katy scrambled to avoid the dragon, she ran fumbling to reload her weapon. A bow might have been easier but Katy's rate of fire happened to be appreciated even if she lacked accuracy.

Aria's warning came to late and the dragon's tail smacked the hunter off of her feet with a painful crunch. It evidently hurt for Katy struggled to get back up to her feet, moving slowly holding her chest tightly with her left hand. She was alive, but injured, however the dragon seemed to still be focusing on Aria. It might have been able to sense that she was the more dangerous of the trio, what with Em down for the count, Katy injured and a very angry daughter of Zeus in her lair. Katy knew who she would take down first, or at least finish off.
She hadn't meant her friend Ann-marie any disrespect, they had been best friends, the kind of friends who insulted each other and sparred with each other almost daily. At first when the other hunter first joined, the pair had been bitter rivals almost enemies till they finally got along. Katy would miss her friends, the joke was her way of coping as Ann-marie might have done if they were in different places.

Katy grabbed her weapon, having dropped it when a dragon tail hit her, she'd just picked it up when out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of it coming for her again. Fighting through the pain she leapt over it, firing a bolt into the the left hind leg of the dragon, just above the ankle. She landed awkwardly, grunting against the pain, fumbling to pull the lever back one handed so that the next bolt would be slotted into position so she could fire again. "I've been hit." She called to Aria. "I can still fight." She left out the barely part deciding it better to not reveal how much pain she was in.

"Yeah..." She answered her voice tight with agony. "My chest is hurt worse than my foot." The Huntress got slowly to her feet, picking up a unconscious Em with some difficultly, she held her up with an arm wrapped around her chest. She began to make her way towards the exit when the dragon swung it's tail at them. Katy saw the attack coming and flung her sister aside, but failed to move fast enough to save herself from it.
The tail struck Katy full force knocking the hunter off of her feet, she landed hard on the stone floor, the impact knocking the breath out of her lungs. The Dragon was upon her before she could recover her footing. She brought her crossbow up, firing several rounds from the Repeater till it clicked empty. The monster with a claw knocked her weapon out of her hands, raising it's paw to strike down the Hunter. Katy shut her eyes, not wanting to watch the blow that took her life fall.

Suddenly an arrow flew out striking the dragon in the attacking limb. It penetrated the arrow, Em let out a quiet gasp of breath she was alive but exhausted, firing that arrow had taken far too much effort. She was still alive, but in no shape to fight. Katy not finding herself dead, opening her eyes scrambling awkwardly to her feet whilst the dragon was distracted trying to pull the arrow out with its teeth.
"Glad to have you back." She said breathlessly, picking Em up and letting her use Katy for support.

Katy wanted to object to Aria's glare but it was a clear command. She nodded the once in understanding, if anyone could distract the creature long enough for them to escape it would be Aria. Hopefully, Gods willing Aria herself would either be able to slay the beast or escape herself. With considerable difficulty, Katy pretty much carried Em at a painfully slow pace. She wasn't about to leave her sister behind or make Aria risk herself any more than she needed to.
She half carried, half dragged Em, the young hunter pretty much limp from exhaustion. Her eyes however revealed the horror that they were abandoning their sister, Aria to fight the monster alone even though Aria was buying them both time to escape. She seemed to silently scream ARIA! in her stare, if she had the strength she would have struggled but she could barely move as it was.
Katy struggled to move with Em, her ankle burning, her chest screaming in agony at each breath. She managed with a supreme effort get Em to the entrance to the chamber where the tourist where.

She set Em down against a wall. "Stay here, I'm going back for Aria." Drawing one of her daggers, Katy went to head back for Aria. Either they all went home or no one went home.

"Aria! Either we all go home or none of us do." She wasn't about to leave her friend and fellow Hunter to die along in the darkness. Katy could tell that Aria was furious with her, rightly so since she had disobeyed a direct order from Aria in person. Katy wouldn't be able to move as fast as her comrade, nor was she as tough or as powerful. Yet perhaps with the two of them here they might just stand a chance.
She drew her dagger. "So chief what's the plan to kill this thing." She had lost her other dagger earlier in the battle and her beloved crossbow was wrecked by a dragon claw. One weapon against a powerful monster that already has killed two Hunters, severely injured a second and wounded two others.

Katy didn't regret coming back to help her sister in the fight, if Em had been in any fit state to fight she knew that she would have also rejoined the battle.
"Also I'm not kissing this thing I don't know if my kiss will work on it." She hissed to Aria, shuddering at the memory of yhe Cyclops den they cleared out the other month. The less said about that mission the better.
