Planning, why did humans have to plan everything they did when fighting, it seemed a tactic that all humans had, a dangerous one indeed though when they fought Roman, a demon who could read minds. Planning and weapons. That was the downfall of a human. As if a steel blade would be sufficient enough to take him down, god he'd get more damage from a mere garden hose, or water gun. But a blade?
Roman took a deep breath as he stepped forward, he could hear the planning going on in Raven's head and smiled. She had military background, well that explained the tactical thoughts, all militarians that Roman had ever fought had a certain fighting style, it was their problem, they would use things like weapons against a demon, thus giving them a false sense of security making them think they were safe.
Well, let's prove their tactics wrong Roman thought as his eyes became darker, the hunger for taking the human's life deepening as he lunged himself sideways, just narrowly missing the woman's oncoming attack, all this while he was not noticing the awakening of Angel who was lying behind him.

Feeling a knot of dread form in her stomach Raven continued her attempted assault, he was fast and seemed to know what was coming. Grumbling and biting her lip as she concentrated on each move in turn her blows seemed to be falling pathetically short. A look of frustration crept across her face, who was this guy and how was he so good?
It dawned on her as she saw his eyes darken, "Oh Fu..." she whimpered. She felt sick to her stomach with fear. Looking down at the blade in her hands she realized this would do no good. Frozen for a moment she was rooted to the spot, her eyes scanned the room for something more effective. It took several seconds to spot the crossbow lying discarded behind him near the now conscious girl, time she didn't have to waste. Jabbing at him with one final gesture she knew would not land, she hoped he would be startled enough to let her get past him and either clear a shot for the other human or give her time to run for the bow herself, it didn't look good.

Angel's head lifted up off of the ground and fell down, again she tried to pick it up, feeling like an infant who tried to gain control of themselves. It took a mere agonizing movements for her to get back in control and she felt accomplished now that she could turn her head upwards and watch.
Her blue eyes wandered the area, scanning until they spotted a welcome sight- her crossbow lay on the ground, just inches from where she laid, however she didn't want to risk moving and drawing attention to herself.
Looking up, she tried to briefly catch the attention of Raven who faced her, thankfully Roman's back was towards her so he would not see her give a silent nod to Raven who seemed to be keeping up pace.
A painful stretch to the side, and a good bit of self control, Angel's hands were reunited with the familiar wooden shape of the crossbow's handle. With her free hand, Angel pushed herself up until she was standing, still in pain, but back in this fight against Roman.

The whimper that came out of the girl's mouth sounded like a beautiful symphony to Roman's ears. Oh how long had it been since Roman had the power to hear the sound of fear. To really get a chance to relish in it, and now....
A dark smile formed upon Roman's face, he stepped yet again closer, inching slowly toward Raven. " Scared?" He asked, his voice like that of a venomous snake. " Or, are you beginning to realize you're taking off more than you can chew?" There was another step as he said that; he was inching forward, closer to Raven, not realize that someone behind him was rising and about to try and even the odds.

The demon was still between her and the girl, seeing him close the gap Raven didn't fancy her chances of making it past him to the crossbow, it wouldn't take more than a second or two for him to be upon her. Seeing the girl nod at her from behind him she sighed, reveling in a brief moment of relief. Her fear was not feigned as she stepped back into striking distance, though the knife wouldn't do much damage, it was still better than her fists alone. If she managed to lever it up into his eye socket it would hurt like hell so that's what she went for.
Ravens hands betrayed her, shaking like they never had before, she had gone up against many different people and a few of these creatures but this guy was on another level, this was an entirely new and terrifying experience. Wanting to turn back and run like hell, she knew she had to keep his attention trained on her if the girl was to have any hope of landing a hit. "Suck it up Raven" she muttered under her breath as she lunged for him.

With the crossbow in hand, Angel's stance immidiately took into the defensive. For once since she retrieved it she was please with the powers that she had stolen on that night he had made the mistake of coming into her house, she was glad she could read the minds of those around her, even though some of them had distasteful thoughts, others she could work to her advantage.
Right now it seemed that Roman was playing a cat and mouse game, although he wouldn't come right out with his intentions, he was trying to scare Raven. It seemed that's what he tried to do to all of his victims- scare them.
Angel smiled and cleared her throat, signalling she was there. She was feeling much stronger now, and very energetic. There was a hint of overconfidence in the way she held herself with the crossbow, the renewed energy flowing through her veins was the cause of that. " Hey Roman," She began as she pulled the crossbow's trigger almost as simontaniously as she spoke, " I'm feeling a lot better."
Angel stood and watched as the arrow shot out of the latch of the crossbow and glided as it cut the air in it's path, towards Roman.

Without having to turn around to see it, Roman could hear the angry sound of the arrow slicing through the air. Whizzing towards him at a fast pace as it made his way to the target which was the top of his broad shoulder. In the matter of only a fraction of a second it pierced painfully into his skin, caring not to be gentle as the point ripped and teared on it's way through only stopping when it became blocked by a hard piece of tissue.
His dark did not even look away from Raven as he pulled the arm opposite the injured shoulder up over his chest as though he was giving himself a one armed hug. The hand met the arrow, it had went in further than Roman had calculated. He smirked. The darkness from the smile matching that of his eyes as he pulled the arrow out slowly, relishing in the pain. " There, much better." He said holding the slender wooden arrow in his hand.
Quickly and unexpectadly he turned in one fluent motion. He lifted the arrow as though he was holding a mere dart and aimed it purposley to the wall behind Angel.
Then in yet again another fluid motion he turned back to Raven and charged at her, his eyes ebrows narrowing until his eyes were nothing more than two slits. When he became close enough he raised a fist, to the naked eye he would have been unseen, to him this all felt like slow motion like what you would see in a movie. He only stopped long enough to let Raven watch as he clocked her in the face. Laughing all the while as he did so.

It felt like she had been hit with a truck, the blow knocked her off her feet and sent her sprawling, whimpering pathetically across the floor. She heard him rejoicing in her pain, clutching her face in her hands it took a couple of seconds to realise the knife was gone, pushing herself back across the uneven ground, trying to distance herself from him she made eye contact with the girl and mouthed "run, while you can." The red haze that had clouded her vision had begun to dissapate as the sting of the strike set in. It had been a long time since anyone had managed a good shot at her, her mind tracked back to the last occasion, sparring with the general back home, he had called her cocky and warned that he wouldn't hold back, thinking she could hold her own, the mistake she made was pride.
Turning herself over to get to her feet, Raven tugged at the holster and finally managed to release the gun from its resting place. Unsure if even this would slow him down, she had to try. Adrenaline forced too many thoughts through her head in quick succession. In too much of a hurry she neglected to check the safety, backing up further with the weapon levelled at him she murmered "Just fuckin try it" Tugging at the trigger, it didn't move, didn't even make the dull thud that an unloaded weapon would. Realizing her error she tore her gaze from him for a split second.

Angel glanced at Raven who resembled a rabbit caught in a hunter's trap. This wouldn't be good, she was almost wishing Adrian was here. He'd know how to handle himself against Roman. But he was not and although she could read Raven's warning for her to leave, it was a warning Raven would not listen to. It was against Angel's nature to leave someone who was in trouble and she was not about to go against her nature now, especially after witnessing the hook she had just taken from Roman.
" Roman." Angel called out, taking the focus off of Raven and towards herself instead. With the crossbow still in hand Angel took a closer step towards Roman, she could more than sense the danger that her and the other girl was in. It was hard to keep the calm expression on her face, but she managed.
Thoughts and images came like a haze to Angel, she couldn't make out who was thinking what and she tried to block these out of her mind. That was a task in itself, however she wondered if she could use the stolen powers for something else, if either of them were going to have any chance against the fire demon they could not be thinking or planning their attacks and for this she needed to get this message to Raven.
Still standing still with the crossbow intently pointed towards the enemy, Angel focused hard, she really hoped this worked, she was going to try to push her thoughts into Raven's mind. " Raven." She started thinking, not knowing if she could hear or not, He reads minds, relax your mind so he can't hear you."

Roman froze on the spot and turned around, anyone who seen him would have thought him to be a homicidle maniac- they were right. His urge to kill heightened. To relish in the blood of these two humans would give him a high he had not felt in a long while.
" Honey, why do you persist in taking on things you know nothing about?" He asked, noting the cold look he gave, replacing the usual warm look he usually carried for the girl. " Now, I suggest that you back down if you know what's good for you." He warned, as a ball of flames danced in his open palm.
He could hear something, the thoughts pouring out of Angel's head as a warning to the girl and began to worry. She was figuring out how to use his power quickly.

Raven whimpered with the feeling of someone inside her head, telling her to empty her mind. It was a very odd sensation and she didn't like it one little bit. Seeing him command flame with his hands her fear heightened, causing her hands to shake.
Screaming inside her own head she hoped the girl could hear her "GO GET HELP, I CAN'T GET PAST HIM" Taking a careful aim she slid the safety off and unloaded the clip in his direction, each shot would hit chest height, if he didn't move. Having seen how fast he was she was uncertain that her weapon would do any good. It felt like an eternity between trigger pulls as she waited for the bullets to strike their target.

Angel looked from Roman to Raven. She heard the thought that came from Raven's mind hit her like a bag of bricks. She couldn't just leave the girl all alone though, first of all it wasn't in her nature to just run and leave when someone was in trouble, secondly, she was just a human, there was no way she would be able to defeat Roman by herself.
No, she would have to stay and somehow help with the fight. However it may be something that neither of them would be able to get out with. She thought as her eyes wandered to the fire ball in Roman's hand, not wanting to know what it felt like to get hit with it.

Roman's brows narrowed as he glared at Angel. He threw the fireball which danced in his hand, directing it to the wall just inches from where Angel stood.
Roman looked at the damage that was caused by his actions and laughed. Where the flame ball had hit it had left it's mark, a singed hole sat where that part of the wall once was.
" Look what you made me do." He then said, his dark voice cold. She distracted him, made him feel things that demons should never feel. Questions ran through his head, was this how his brother felt when he first met Rose? He was beginning to feel more.... human and it frightened him more than anger him.
" You distract me. You make me.... feel things, I've never wanted anything as badly." His eyes flickered until now he was staring directly into the big blue eyes that now looked back at him, then he put his hand to his hair and began tugging.
" GOD." He yelled out, he was beginning to lose his temper, there was only one way to get rid of these feelings. He would have to kill her.... But first to rid himself of the other girl behind him.

Seeing that the girl was not going anywhere Raven sighed to herself, it wasn't Raven he was focussed on nor what he was here for, she would have acted as a distraction long enough for the poor woman to gain some ground on him or even bring something that could sway the outcome. "Too late now" she thought sullenly to herself.
The fireball hit close enough to know he had not aimed for the girl but not wide enough to show him as a bad shot. His rage cemented what she already knew - he was well practiced and very angry and that thought scared the crap out of Raven.
Forcing herself to stop shaking the thoughts ran through her head of her drills when she was a child, maybe 12 at most. 1-safety 2-sight 3-finger 4-breathe 5-squeeze. Mentally she emptied herself of everything but that phrase, repeating it over and over to herself. Stepping as silently as possible to bring herself within two feet of him she placed the muzzle of the glock within an inch of the back of the bastards' head. This might not kill him but it sure as hell will hurt enough to buy some time. Squeezing the trigger, she prayed he was not as fast as she thought he was.

She felt the heat as the fire ball was catapulted from Roman's hand, until it had hit the wall behind her instead. That was close. Her eyes drifted back to Roman, who now seemed to be having a total meltdown now, he was in love with her, a fact that didn't only terrify her, but also gave her a disturbing feeling as she stood still watching the fire demon lose his grip on the world around him.
" We could never be together." Angel called out. This was a dangerous move on her part, she realized that, but she was not going to give this guy any false hope. " For one, you're so not my type. Secondly, I could never trust you to not kill me or one of my friends, and thirdly......" The next words that came out of Angel's mouth she spoke slowly to make sure that Roman understood them; " I already have a boyfriend."
There, that felt a lot better, he could do what he wanted with that information, if he still continued to pursue her, he would be doing it in vain. He would be wasting his time, no result would be how he would want it.
