She could only hope that he had hit his target as she crouched over the rifle. She shot him a glance, and there was worry in her eyes, the concern for Alister. "I'm serious Alister. If it's looking bad, just get away from here. "

" If I am going to live without you.. I rather not live at all. " He said as the angel he shot at spiraled to the earth, not being able to fly anymore as it was now dead. He started to aim, and shoot at the others. He was not willing to leave her behind..

Electa shook her head and then fired the gun, the echo booming across the desert like thunder. They could hear screams of rage. Electa shot gain an missed as one of the angels darted to the side. Tracking it, she got it as it moved. Suddenly,, the remaining angel was on them, its wings filling the sky. Electa started to fire again, and then ducked as it surged forward and swooped at her, trying to cuff her with it's wing.

Alister quickly moved in front of Electra to protect her from the attack, and tried to aim for it's halo, shooting and trying to kill it as fast as possible.

She laughed with joy as she watched the halo tremble and then buckle.

Alister continued to shoot, making sure it was dead... he was starting to tremble with fear and panic.

It was dead all right, it exploded into a million shiny shards of light. "Are you all right?"

Alister didn't speak, he just slowly put the gun away.. turned to Electra, and gave her a tight hug. He was sure not to touch her wounded arm when he did so. " A-are you okay? " He said softly, his voice so filled with fear and.. almost pain.

"Scared to death and hurting," she muttered into his chest. "But other than that, I'm okay. Are you?" She looked up at him

( Should he or should he not be wounded? )

" I'm okay if you're okay. " He said, his voice holding the same tone. He might be still hurt by what she did in the past but he'd be very, very said if he lost anything else he cared for.
