The moment Circe was released Candace made a grab for her, grinning again at the way the scythe summoned itself and expanded into its beautiful, glowing, six foot tall glory. "Such a good giiiiirl." Candace cooed to the scythe lovingly, distracted from doing anything more by the sudden glow of green. What was--
Candace didn't have time to even register what was happening before being sent flying backwards several feet, her body slamming against the ground when she finally landed. She grunted and groaned, clinging to the scythe and rolling over. "Thaaaaaat's a good Jerry." Candace praised him before running at him, instinctively skidding to a stop in front of him and turning on the ball of her foot; this was something she did when fighting with Atropos, but instead of a bladed shoe it was a huge scythe she was swinging around with her.

He staggered backward with a distant noise in his throat at the sudden slash, head still reeling from the previous blow when the next sent him nearly toppling once more. Roar was quick to bark his order in Jerry's mind, and the wobbling hunter could only give a bleary sort of mumble as he followed what he was told. Now! And he fired. Fog in his head, ringing in his ears and something about Candace... Oop, there she was, hello Candy!

He shot her again, hitting her in the shoulder. ********! That thing packed a punch! She laughed with delight, grinning ear to ear again. "Now this is fun. You should fight like this more often, Jerry." She meant with more of a spine, of course.
Candace gripped the scythe with both hands now, bracing herself as she swung the scythe as hard as she could Jerry's way.

"Cand-" Jerry started, but the scythe finished it, slashing through him in that worrying way that had there not been magical shields keeping him protected would have had him falling to pieces. Literally. Head reeling, Roar swung around in a desperate, instinctual attempt to get her away, the force of which sent the reeling hunter sprawling on the ground, glasses hanging from one ear as he gave a groan.

One last blast from Roar sent Candace stumbling back away from Jerry before she could strike again, slipping and sliding on the mud and very nearly falling on her a**. Wow. That one was more powerful than the last one. But when she looked his way again he was gone. Wait! Where did he go?! Did he run away?! No! No! N--oh, he was on the ground. She smirked, dragging Circe behind her as she slowly approached the fallen man. "Hey there, darlin'. You awake?" She nudged him with her toe. Ah, good. He was awake. Candace adjusted her grip on the scythe so she held her like a golf club now, even mimicking a golfer's stance as she raised her arms and quickly brought them down.
Jerry wouldn't feel a blade slice against him again. Circe suddenly glowed brightly and forced herself into her desummoned form moments before making contact with the man's body. She floated just over his chest, staring unblinking at the bespectacled man. Candace's eyes widened. "What...Circe? What are you doing. Stop that." She reached for Circe but the eye floated lazily away from her hand. Candace frowned, reaching for her again and again. "Circe..Circe. Stop it. Come back here, we have a fight to finish." She could feel it! She was getting weaker by the minute! She needed Circe or the good feelings would go away!
"Why won't you listen to me?!"

Jerry groaned, taking several minutes to blink his way back to coherency. A flash of a scythe, a floating eye, Candace's manic expression. He drew in a sharp breath, gathering himself up with a frantic scramble as she was distracted by the fluttering orb. There's a certain point in a human's psyche that is still tightly rooted to instinct, and in a fight or flight situation, Jerry's instinct was screaming Run RUN RUN, regardless of what Roar had to say about it. Adrenalin was pumping, his head not quite on straight but what he could make sense of the situation was that Candace had tried to kill him.

Candace was following Circe away from Jerry by the time Jerry started trying to get up. She blinked, stopped in her tracks, and turned to see what he was doing. Did he want more? He wasn't down for the count? But Circe refused to listen to her anymore. The woman frowned. "Jerry. What are you doing." It wasn't a question. She took a step away from Circe toward the man.

Jerry made a pained panicked noise, his legs still unsteady from the blow from her knee. "Running!" He squeaked, tripping again with a hiss. Roar had dematerialized, green glow zipping back to the pendant at his neck as he finally found footing in the mud to limp away as quickly as he could.

His answer made her stop in her tracks. If one listened hard enough they could hear her heart shattering to pieces like a mirror thrown out of a fourth story window onto concrete. He was..running away? He looked so scared. He was running from her in fear. That wasn't what she wanted. This wasn't how this was supposed to go. It..it was just...they were fighting! It was practice! It wasn't like she could have killed him, right? They were having fun! Wasn't he having fun? Candace's vision blurred as her eyes watered, a few tears sliding down her cheeks. Jerry. She scared Jerry. "W..wait no...Jerry don't..." The humming. She could still hear the humming. What was that sound? Snarling? Over the humming? Candace's chest heaved with panicked breaths as wide lavender eyes looked to the glowing blue eye floating up to her side. The humming was Circe, but what was the snarling? It was getting louder and louder like a cover was being taken off of a locked up sound. Something was angry. What was it? She couldn't...but...but she still...
This wasn't supposed to happen. Candace turned to find Jerry had begun limping away and her chest tightened with pain. "Jerry, please...d-don't go.." She hurried after him, reaching out to put a hand on his shoulder. Circe followed close behind, always looming.

He flinched away, face still wild with terror as he tried to stagger faster, "I d-don't know what that was but it wasn't ahaha... s-sparring." He hissed. He needed Ice and... and to get away to think. "I d-don't know what I did to... to get you so p-pissed off but... but I'm done, ok? I'm done!"

Pissed..her off? Candace moved her hand away from Jerry like she'd been burned.
"I'm done!"
D..done? "Done...with what?" Please don't say it please don't say it..! Don't be done with her. Please god no. Please. Don't mean her. Please just mean the fight.

He didn't clarify, and maybe it was because right then he didn't know what he meant. He gave a simple strangled noise, hobbling faster.

He didn't answer her. Why didn't he answer her!? "Jerry..? Come back..." He didn't even so much as look back at her. Candace bit down on her lip a moment, whimpering and taking a step forward. "Damnit Jerry! C-come back here! This isn't cute!" He didn't turn around. He...he just...kept going farther and farther away from her. Why wasn't he coming back? No. Come back. Come back, damnit! She released a shuddering breath as she tried to keep her cool, ignoring the tears streaming down her face. Circe floated in front of her face, that glowing blue eye staring at her. It didn't blink. It didn't speak.
Candace snarled and slapped the eye away, not even watching as it hit the ground, flashed with light and fluttered back up to face level with her. "This is all your fault." She muttered, grabbing the eye from the air and holding it in a tightly clenched fist. "WHY DID YOU LET ME DO THIS?!" She threw the eye down on the ground again, grabbing it from the air once more as it came floating back to her.
She whipped her phone out from her pocket, growling as she typed out an anger-fueled text to Caelius. I'm coming back!
"You're going back to your goddamn master." Candace hissed, walking off the field and back toward the hospital wing of the Life hunter labs.
