As the group of people, three scientists and a guide who hired him as a bodyguard, walked into the building, Travis looked back, having the feeling they were being followed.

~Ask me, Ask me...
Anabell looked around the broken doorway at exactly the wrong time. She saw Travis's eyes catch her, and then she bolted. She hadn't seen people in so long, not for months, but this one in front was scary compared to the other four, with weapons an armour, she may have been around eleven or twelve now, but she was still eight at heart. Her legs carried her around the corner of the warehouse and then she stopped, hanging onto the concrete outside wall, scythe digging into her back.

Travis raised the Lancer half-way. Was that a... little girl? Apparently that last group was telling the truth when they said the city wasn't aband- he thought, then turned and sprinted inside when he heard screaming, his helmet hiding the expression on his face, which was a mix of fear for the people who had hired him and guilt for leaving them to continue alone.

Anabell heard the screams and her eyes widened, her gut told her something was wrong, and she turned and sprinted as Travis had. Scary man or not if anyone who lived in this city had hurt another she would be the jury tonight, that was how it worked here, en eye for an eye, to survive in ruins was to live in danger. She was cautious as she saw the slip of armour through the door, and then followed through, whoever it was would proobably be after the screamer as she was, she was a few feet behind Travis, following at a distance just in case. Oh please don't let anyone be hurt...

Travis skidded to a halt when he reached the scene. All four of the people were dead, the man who had killed them still swinging his axe into the body of one of the scientists with wet smacks.

~Ask me, Ask me...
Anabell froze at the opening of the doorway, almost directly behind Travis, her eyes widened at the sight of the man taking swings into a dead body, unfortunatly she did know him. She scythe was suddenly in her hands. "How dare you!" Her childs voice that would never change may have frightened Travis from it's sudden and harsh tone but she didn't care, she pushed past him into the wide room, looking at the man. "You know the rules of this place! We. Don't. KILL!" Her voice raised an octave as she stood still, off to the side and out of Travis's way. I am the judge, the jury, and now... Her grip tightened on her Scythe. I may become the executioner...

"What the hell..." Travis said as he took a few steps back, his hands ready to fight with either the Lancer's main gun or with the chainsaw bayonet.
The man turned to Anabell, "These people come to take the power..."

Anabell didn't look back, but she hard Travis's muffled words through his helmet, her eyes stayed on the man. "You mean this curse?" Her hands shook. "You know the penalty! Even if they're outsiders, do you think their not people?! Scare them away, chase them away, these were scientists, can't you tell?!" One of them even had a clipboard tucked under one of his limp arms, she looked back. "They most likely came to study! You had no right to end their life..." She moved foreward, scythe lifting as she did. Her child like face held the years she had spent in this place, and everyone who did live here knew the rules, anyone who didnt was a fool.

Travis would have raised his gun and shot the man if he hadn't been so confused as to what was going on.
The man raised his axe with a growl.

Anabell didn't need anything more than the mans answering growl and advance to know that she had to do what was needed. She was behind him in a heartbeat, her scythe held to his back, but her eyes glued to the man across from the both of them, she froze. Her eye were glued to Travis's visor, hoping for a miracle. Though she had lived in the ruins of her childhood home for the past three years she was still a child, even with her wish answered, giving her life forever and a broadened mind she couldn't kill this man, even after he had killed four others, it hurt to much. She pushed him down with the blunt end of her scythe, hoping to knock him out.

The man got to his feet and turned to Anabell, raising the axe... then he started spasming as there was a roar, the bussiness end of Travis' Lancer breaking out from the man's chest.

Anabell hopped out of the way as the mans Axe fell out of his hands and fell backward, scythe gripped in only her right hand. She watched the blood spurt and cover the ground, and then noticed she was covered in it too, no matter, she would bathe, she took a deep breath. The sentance was fulfilled, but not by her hands. Thoughts raced through her mind, would the man who had killed the other kill her, turn to her on the ground and chop her into little bits, or would he merely cut her through the chest as he did to the other man. She stood up slowly, not noticing her body shaking as she backed up toward the wall, taking deep breaths.

Travis pushed the body of the man to the ground, his armor and helmet covered with blood. He put a foot on the man's body to keep it down as he pulled his Lancer out. With one hand, Travis took off his helmet and started shaking it to get out any blood or gore that might have gotten into the air filters.

Alice wasn't sure what to think when she peered out of her window. The ten mile ride had dulled her senses. This would be her first trip to her supposed land of origin. She was the only one of her band that was actually willing to traverse the land that had named their band. In truth, she admitted to herself as the driver got out and opened her door for her, her main concern was the power that was rumored to reside in the land. She was interested in what this power could do for her.

Anabell held a hand to her heart, as soon as the loud rumble of the chainsaw-gun had stoped she could breath again, yet seeing a dead comrade had some effect on her, she still couldn't speak, now noticing that the man had taken his helmet off and was shaking it, to remove blood. Her hand dropped to her side and her knees shook, but unlike other children who would have probably run Ana took a few steps foreward, the grip on her scythe loose and purely non-offensive. She looked up at Travis, annoyed as usual that he was taller than her. "Thank you." Her voice was clipped, as if she had trouble talking still, and her tone only added to the illusion that she was an eight year old girl. Even covered in blood she was cute, as most little girls were, and she looked so frightened, though she wasn't... Damn wish.
