Taste of Your Own Medicine [Gabrielle]

Tara stayed with her back pressed against the wall. She had nearly forgotten about the pouch, and she had given up all hopes of getting away with it. The svefra did have a point, the pouch did not have much in it and the consequences they may have to face if the knights found them were harsh. Either way, things had escalated to a point that Tara did not expect and she was not prepared. The kelvic took a small amount of pity on the svefra, who had won the upper hand in her brawl with the cloaked man. She looked up to her, in a way. Tara was not very good at putting her pride aside even at the price of her life.

”I don’t know how things ended up the way they did” Tara said carefully, eyeing the svefra and the man in black. She longed to run like hell and come back for her belongings later, but that was not a good idea. She would most likely lose her things and her mizas which was not a price she was willing to pay. ”I don’t know why you decided to step in either” she continued, her eyes focusing on the man. She needed to get him to leave, as the svefra alone would be easy to walk away from. She knew the position they had gotten themselves in and probably wanted the same thing as Tara – to walk away from this as if it hadn’t happened.

”But I think we all need to just walk away from this” she finished. Her eyes were cold and persuasive, and they looked straight at the man while she spoke. She had gotten closer to the two as she was talking, as they were opposite the brick she had hidden everything behind. The closer she was to them the quicker she could get away. Tara really hoped that she could reason with the man. She felt deep regret rising in her throat. If she had known that this would happen Tara would have picked another person to steal from.

Nithus knew he was somewhat in a bad position. He had his ssword but the svefra was on his back he quickly ran backward into a wall. Making her get slammer arrow fell to the ground her thred inbetween his back and the wall. He threw her under him and put his boot on her neck. He looked up and pointed his sword at Tara. "just give me the pouch"

oocPlease let Gabrielle end up with her pouch by the end of this thread, thank you!

The Svefra gasped, her head slamming against the wall. She cursed under her breath, the world going fuzzy before her. Before she knew it, she was on the ground, a boot on her neck. Growling, she didn't know what else to do but give the Kelvic a pleading look. She was glad the girl agreed with her sentiments, that walking away from this was what they needed. Gabrielle wondered if the girl was a killer, or just a thief. Either way, at least she saw the sense in putting the brawl to a halt. Wishing that the girl would see that Gabrielle was not a threat, the Svefra hoped she would somehow find another way to get them all out of this bind.

"The damn pouch has nothing but a few mizas in it!" yelled Gabrielle at the man, her hand gripped around his ankle, but she didn't dare to try to struggle free. She knew she was in a bad situation, and the man had his sword back in his hand. "What kind of lowlife are you, that you would risk getting caught by the Knights just for that!?"

Suddenly, a woman screamed, and Gabrielle arched her head to see the woman who was by the opening of the alley. She was backing away and pointing at the brawl in the alley, screaming for someone to call the Knights.

"This is it!" hissed Gabrielle at the Kelvic and at the man. "Let's all walk away. You know we don't want to be caught."

Breaking free and getting away was all she had to think off at the moment -- at the back of her head, she was furiously thinking, 'You both will pay for this.'

Tara’s head turned sharply as the woman screamed. It was night but there were still people here. She turned back to the man and the svefra. The man had a sword out now, which evened out things a bit more. Tara let a hiss escape her teeth. She let all of her energy flow to her hand in the form of res. She set it aflame and sent it forward, sending the sword clattering to the ground. Tara rushed forward to kick it away. She called her fire back to her and had it hover slightly above her hand. Her breath was becoming short, so she needed to finish things up quickly. Tara was not yet an amazing reimancer and so it was easier for her to overgive. The experience had never happened to Tara before but she had heard the stories and knew what could happen.

”I don’t think you’re a stupid man” she snarled, her elongated canines glinting in the soft moonlight. ”So I think it would be best if this all just ended” she continued, her eyes cold and calculating. She let the fire swirl in her hand, twisting and pivoting in place. Tara did not plan on using her reimancy to harm the man, not in Syliras. The Syliran Knights were suspicious enough of reimancers; if Tara was caught trying to harm a human with it there would be dire consequences. Either way she wanted the man to believe that she would go to any lengths. Then Tara remembered the svefra who was now on the floor. She seemed to agree with Tara and for good reason, but that was not to say as soon as she was free the girl would turn on her. However that seemed to be a chance Tara had to take – there were no other options. She spared a quick glance back up the alley, her ears tuning in to the sounds of the city.

The woman had run off, to safety or to get a knight. Whichever the woman was doing Tara did not want to be here when she got back. Tara strained her ears to hear farther. She picked up lots of useless things but among the whispers of the sleeping city she heard a woman’s screaming. Tara could not make out what the woman was saying but she could guess. Her head snapped back to the man and the svefra. Her expression had hardened into an icy stare. She flung the ball of fire at the man, and it flew past his head just inches away from his skin. It was not meant to hit, but to intimidate.

”Get off the svefra and leave” she said coldly, lacking emotion. Her eyes did not spare a glance to the svefra. Right now Tara was dealing with the cloaked man. If he would just leave then Tara would be evenly matched against the svefra if she decided to turn on Tara.

He released his boot from the svefra's neck. The warmth of the fireball still being felt by him. The scream echoing through his ears. " fine keep your mizas." He put his sword away. He helped her to her feet calmly took a bow then ran off.

Gabrielle got to her feet, staggering. She shot a glare at the retreating man, and knew she had to do the same. The Kelvic girl was still around. Gabrielle turned her head swiftly to the girl, her face hardened with seriousness. They both had to get away. Now. The screaming woman had caused a ruckus -- while Gabrielle could only hear faint screams now, it would only be a couple of minutes until the real problems came.

The Svefra didn't thank the girl. Even if she had been the one to convince the man to end the brawl, it was her who started everything in the first place. Something within Gabrielle told her to still be grateful, but this feeling couldn't go against her pride.

She grabbed her bow as fast as she could, and then swiped up the pouch in her other hand. She gave the Kelvic one last cold stare before running off as fast as she could. Gabrielle was scared the girl would change her mind and go after her pouch again -- maybe everything with the man so far and convincing him to leave had been a ruse. Gabrielle couldn't afford that.

Tucking her bow behind her and putting her pouch in her pocket, Gabrielle turned the corner and ran. People were giving her strange looks, as if they knew she was connected to what the woman had been screaming about. She could hear whispers that the Knights were coming. She rounded a few more corners, keen on getting out of sight.

'Damn thieves...' she cursed in her mind. Of course, she was a thief herself -- but she didn't like being stolen from.

Tara watched the svefra leave without a single word for Tara. A bit put out, she turned and got her things out of behind the brick. [i]And to think I saved her![/I she thought indignantly. Putting that out of her mind she heard the quick approach of the knights.

She growled to herself and fled down a back-alley. There she shifted into a feline and waited until the knights had come and gone. When they did not find anything they left the scene. Tara shifted back into her human shape and gathered her belongings. She still felt resentful towards the svefra but decided to let it go. There was no use in dwelling on the past.

For all Tara knew she may never see the girl again. She walked up the alley and slipped out. People looked at her but did not say anything. From there Tara left the city to find a sleeping place for the night.
