As the sun set, yet another mysterious fog crept across the island, limiting visibility for any hunters out in the streets. The air was thick with portent: Something was coming. And yet there was no Tom Welling lurking in the fog, just water vapor. Keep your eyes open.

Karla jerked her head back and gasped in pain as some of it stayed in Dinah's hand.

THAT WAS HER HAIR! THE BITCH JUST YANKED HER HAIR!

Karla had one physical conceit. One. With a shriek of rage, her hand flew up towards Dinah's face. "Why? Did he tire of you already? I guess the old saying 'crazy chicks are best in bed' isn't right after all!"

A regular smack, sure...except her serpent's tooth was out. Couldn't kill her, but it could still hurt like a bitch.

Well... that was probably distracting, right? Triela snapped her shotgun up and squeezed off a shot. It was rushed, and the fog was crap for visibility, but she was pretty sure she could at least hit Dinah.

And she grinned at that thought. Because one of the advantages of the shotgun was that it was easy to make special ammo. And a shotgun shell propelling a sharpened chunk of wood... she was hoping that would be stake-ish.

Speed and TK saved Dinah's life, snarling back at Karla's strike, then away from Triela's. But she still caught the stake in her side. "Bitch!" She aimed a blow at Karla, then leapt upward to the rooftop above them, wincing as she pulled the chunk of wood out of her ribs. "Nice one, Triela! For that, I break your neck before I bleed you! Not kill you. Just paralyze you. That'll be fun." Not today though, damnit.

"Stay away from Leto, Karla! You wouldn't last a day in our snake pit. I'd make sure of it!"

Karla remembered the lessons they'd all had since arriving at the island, and curled around the blow, going limp. Hitting the ground head-first still hurt. A lot. She struggled to think of a good response but the ringing in her head made witty comments a bit hard to come up with.

'Ow,' she could do. So she did. "Ow," she said, sitting up and rubbing her head.

Triela was tempted to take another shot, but the range was too long, visibility was too bad. And she didn't have the ammo to waste.

Also, firing with at least part of her hand broken had been rather unpleasant. "Come on," Triela urged as she tried to get an arm around Karla (the broken one, no sense in tying up her good hand). "Let's go before more show up."

She considered Dinah's threats and sighed. If only they hadn't let her get turned. That kind of spirit was exactly what they needed to survive out here.

Yeah, Karla wasn't too thrilled with Dinah's spirit right now. Or anything else of Dinah's for that matter. She was busy trying to combat the dizzyness.

"Bitch pulled my hair," she complained to Triela. "You saw her. She did."

"I saw her," Triela agreed. She figured the other girl was at least partially in shock. "Didn't kill you though. And that makes you lucky."

Both of them, really.

Triela did not seem to be understanding the gravity of the situation. "BITCH PULLED--my hair." Halfway through, Karla realize that yelling about the situation, after dark, was not very bright.

She staggered a bit--uneven ground, really--and got a good look at Triela's hand. "What happened? You okay? What'd she do?"

"Blocked one of those pieces of rebar," Triela tried to shrug it off.

Despite the fact that broken bones were really bad news for her. When your bones didn't heal like normal peoples'... well, bad news.

That whole shrugging off thing probably would have been more convincing if she hadn't wince in the middle of waving her hand dismissively.

That did a good job of clearing some of the fuzzy from her head. "I'm fixing that when we get home," she said. "No arguments."

"What will it cost you?"

Which wasn't an argument. Triela needed her hand to work. And that was going to require magical healing.

"I won't know until I examine it." Karla knew better than to try to lie to Triela. "It's the hand, which means it'll be a tricky set for you to get full mobility back. Using it after the initial damage means that there was more damage done. I'll almost certainly need a sandwich when I'm done."

An admission which said a lot, if one knew what to look for.

"Then let's hurry back. The sooner you get this taken care of the sooner I can make sure you eat that sandwich." Triela hated doing it, knowing what it would cost, but she needed that hand. The mathematics of survival were cold and hard and she may have hated them, but that didn't change how they worked.

Karla nodded once. "Let's get gone."
