tune

She gasped loudly, before slapping a hand over her mouth. I hope they didn’t hear me.

Cooper was about to continue when he thought he heard something. On instinct, he thought it was a zombie, and he jumped to his feet, dragging Lucia with him. What looked like a long blade formed in his hand from darkness and he scanned the area with his eyes. “Hello?”

After a moment of playing with the possibilities in her mind, she stepped out from behind the tree. “Hello.”

"Invisibilia," Alex whispered. They had to leave their small shelter. The bow, a quiver, and a small hunter knife was on their back. They looked down at their hand to see nothing there. Perfect. They snuck out with all of their belongings off into the forest.

Cooper’s eyes narrowed softly in suspicion as the sword vanished from his hold. He eyed the girl before speaking. “Who are you?”
~~
Lucy watched from her spot, standing slightly behind Cooper. She had never seen this girl before around that area. She wrapped her arms around herself and adjusted her glasses as she watched.

“V,” she said after a moment. “I’m V.”

Cooper gave a skeptical look. “Where are you from, V?” He questioned.

“I live in my old house, on thebedge of town.”

“What are you doing in these woods? They can be dangerous,” Cooper said, folding his arms.
~~
Lucy frowned as she watched V. What a strange name, had it be short for something. She decided to stay quiet, as to not attract attention towards herself.

“Running out of food,” she said slowly, keeping her eyes trained on the pair.

Lucy managed to half interrupt her mentor before he began to speak. “I have some things to spare, it’s only me living here and there’s more than enough,” she said, shifting her glasses while Cooper gave her an annoyed glance.

“I wouldn’t want to be a bother, I can hunt for myself,” she said, raising the bow.

Copper gave a quick nod, giving Lucy a quick glare. While he was all for helping people, he still had to be cautious. “Do as you wish, then.”

“Thanks for the offer - maybe we can trade or something sometime. I have a lot of sugar and spices, and the like.”

“Yeah, maybe,” Lucy spoke up, folding her arms loosely across her stomach. “I’d be happy to.”

Just as Lily finished her sentence, three zombies burst through the undergrowth, shrieking in their guttural language.

Lucy and Cooper quickly jerked in the direction of the zombies. The same sword formed in Cooper’s hand as he ran towards the group of them. “Manete,” Lucy said in a sharp tone, palm pointed towards one of the zombies, and it was frozen where it stood, allowing Cooper the opportunity to strike it down.

Vivian’s head snapped toward the zombies and she threw her arms out, purple magic throwing one back.

Alex crept around the forest. Having to keep up their spell took a lot of mental effort. They stumbled around the bushes. They heard footsteps behind them. Alex dropped the invisibility spell and began running. They shouted, "Celeritas!"

Cooper finished off the last one, using a ribbon of shadow to jerk it back into a patch of darkness where it was ripped apart. Lucy breathed slightly heavier, not used to using her magic often, so it tended to make her a tad tired.

“That cant be good,” she muttered, the sparks fading. She heard someone else yell (Alex) but didn’t pay it any attention, eyes focused on the direction the zombies had come from. “Where there’s three, there’s a nest.”

The sword Cooper held vanished and he gave a nod to V. “We should check it out,” he said, Lucy humming in agreement.

“…we could also turn around. And not die,” she muttered, but hoisted the bow anyways. “Lead the way.”

Alex's speed increased as they ran through the forest. They could feel their energy waning and knew it wouldn't be much longer until they had to stop, "Toleranta!"

Alex stopped and tumbled to the ground, Mierda! Una palabra falsa!

Cooper gave a shrug and began walking in the direction of where the monsters came from. Lucy followed a step or two behind him.

Alex looked at the monsters. The wrong word meant the spell had the opposite effect of the intended spell. So instead of giving endurance and tolerance she got tired and weaker, Not good not good not good!

Vivian groaned and followed them, trudging along.

Alex thought about shouting, but realized that would probably attract the rest of the nest. They stayed quite and used the last of their energy to whisper, "Auxilium."
