In the middle of the night Ren found it that it became hard to sleep. Being sick messed with you in more than one ways, espically your sleep pattern. She looked over at Austin, who was still asleep. Hearing her stomach rumbel, she decided to go off and see if she could find something in the kitchen to eat.
Yawning quietly, she left the room, shutting the door behind her. She could see some movement in the dark. Not actually seeing what it was, she concluded it was some else that also couldn't get any sleep. She continued down the halls, using the wall as a guide in the dark.

"Hmm? WHO GOES THERE!" the figure shouted, turning towards ren, "If you refuse to tell us who you are, we will take action!"
The shouting had awaken austin, who didnt know where ren was. "Ren? ren?" He walked to the bathroom door, and noticed it was empty. Again he heard shouting, and screaming. "REN!" He shouted, pushing through the door, and standing in between the strange figure, and ren, "Who are you!!!"

Ren stood there petrifyed. Take action? What did they mean by that? Wasn't this a church? She was pretty sure that the church didn't take drastic actions for what ever was going on. Then, she heard Austin screaming her name in the room, but respond. All that was going through her mind was how she was going to get out of whatever she was in.
"Austin!" she called when she heard him call her name. Then he shouted something at figure.
"We're here to arrest +anima. If you are one of them, give yourselves up" the man shouted.
Just the way the man said what he was saying made Ren rather, well, angry. She scowled and ran past Austin towards the figure. She gave the figure a swift kick. She could hear him crumple to the ground.
"Gather up the +anima. We're getting them out of here" she said in an authoritative way. Though she didn't usually act like this, just the mission that this man was on made her plain angry.

Austin was gobsmacked. A minute ago, she was scared, but at the command of gathering +anima, she turned into someone else. He didn't want to mess with her like this, and her kicks (one word, OW!) So he started checking the rooms. He steped, and again, said nothing. He was in shock that no one was here! He checked more and more and more doors, rooms, everything! No one. "What the....Where is everyone?" He said in disbelief. Then, his mind clicked. "How long have you been here!" He shouted at the man, commanding an answer this second. If what austin thought was true....The +anima had already been gathered.....

"We were making our last rounds. We already gathered most of them up. Now tell me, who are you! If I'm gone for too long, other soldiers will come in."
Ren smiled. This was exactly the kind of thing she wanted to happen. Soldiers...How stupid can they be. She took a step closer to Austin and whispered her plan in his ear. "Wait a few more seconds and then sneak up and out of the church. Once you see some of the soldiers go into the church, free as many +animas as you can," she instructed.
She looked down at the soldier on the ground and smiled. If more soldiers came down here, there must be less up there holding in the +anima, and she knew the military wasn't going to send to many soldiers to this church since it wasn't that much of an asset to do so. And, she could take a few more soldiers. Traveling did make your leg muscles stronger.

His eyes widened ( ), He whispered back, "You can't be serious. I can't let you stay down here alone with them, you dont know what they'll do, what their armed with, you could be killed". It was obvious he cared for her, but he thought, and nodded. "If you need me, scream for me. ill be down in a heartbeat" He resured as he sneaked down the corridor, behind some crates of food. Soon, more soliders decended down into the corridor, running towards ren and the wounded solider. 'Be strong ren' he thought as he sneaked up the stairs and to the wheeled boxes of +anima.

Ren watched as Austin left. Hearing the foot steps of soldiers, she stood still. If she hid, they would go back. What sort of weapons they'd have would make it easier, or harder for Ren to fight them off. But there was no use in hoping that they had no weapons what so ever. At the bottom of the stairs, she knew they could see her and made their way toward her.
She managed to kick off some of the soldiers with no wounds, but some charged at her with swords at hand, cutting her leg. But even when they cut her, she didn't scream. If she did, Austin would come down and leave behind the others. So instead, she bit her tounge. Somehow, one managed to get behind her and hit her over the head with a hard object. Possibly the flat side of his sword. Ren fell to the ground, unconscience.

Austin managed to get all of the +anima free, and as they ran, he looked to the church, still no screams, and worst still, no grunts from soliders. somethign was wrong. He felt it though his marking. Slowly, he walked back down the stairs, and called for ren, "Ren....are you ok?". He knew the soliders would look at him, but he was safe.
He gasped at the sight of her on the ground. unconscience, at the feet of the soliders. They turned to look at him, and pointed their swords at him, but it was far too much for him. His eye wide, staring at the girl. His soul was furious. His +anima mark started to glow, morphing his left arm into a claw, his arm and shoulder into plates of armour. "YOU MUST DIE!!!!!!" He bellowed, mad as hell. His voice echoed through the corridor. The soliders stood there....in fear.

Hearing a voice loud, but slightly foggy, Ren slowly woke up. Her head throbbed and she was pretty sure she was going to have a bump there some time along the way, but that didn't matter at the moment. Rethinking what the loud voice said, she realized who and what they said.
Taking advantage of the shock the soldiers were in, she- who was still laying on the ground, unmoved from waking up- speedily tripped the men. She got up and ran up the stairs, grabbing ahold of Austin's untransformed hand as she guided him up and away from the soldiers. They did not deserve to die. No one did.
She lead Austin as far away as her head would allow her to. It still hurt pretty bad from the wack to the head and made her head feel rather heavy. Reaching a patch of dense forest, she stoped running and sat down, looking up at Austin.
"Don't. Kill. Anyone" she said, one word at a time. She didn't like the fact that he was okay with killing the soldiers and that the soldiers were okay with capturing +animas. Though she took neither side, she didn't agree with either's ethics.

Grunting and gritting his teeth, he punched several trees in the forest, still mad. "Those jerk deserved to die! No one should capture innocent +anima, and no one should attack an innocent female! ITS WRONG REN!" He shouted, his eyes strangled 'glowing'. She could see he was mad, and she could see his +anima wanted to get revenge, but soon, his claw faded, and he sat down, he turned away from her, shedding a tear. He did this everytime his +anima was activated for this cause. He hated people getting hurt, and he wanted to do his best to avenge them. but this time was alot different.
He gulped a little and stood up, punching the tree harder this time, and just stood there, his fist slightly bleeding. His emotions were unleashed at times like this. Anger. Sorrow. Guilt. It was all there. He shook his hand of the debree from the tree bark, and wiped the blood off on his trouser leg, "What if they did something worse? what if they had cut you badly, or worse. They'll never learn unless someone stands up. Attack when attacked, Defend until you can. Thats what i was taught....." He looked back to her. His eyes softened, and he knelt beside her. "You got your leg cut....are you ok ren?"

"I'm fine" Ren said, not really caring about her leg. "I know what they did was wrong, but you don't attack when attacked, Austin. You set an example. They hate you guys because you attack back when attacked. You have something they don't and they don't like that so the only thing they know what to do about it is to attack. And when you fight back, they get scared even more and will keep attacking you guys."
"Austin, it's a cycle and it seems that no one can stop it, but, do me a favor, don't go along with it" she said glaring at him. "And about myself, I don't really care. I don't care if I get hit. I don't care if I get sick. Austin, I don't care for myself. I care for others and other's well being, which explains why I was sick when you found me."

A silence happened for a few moments, before austin broke it. "Maybe i care about others wellbeing too. and thats why i fight back. I fight to save those i care for, and sometimes love. I fought to save my sister and failed, I fought to save my own wellfare and failed. I DONT WANT IT HAPPENING AGAIN!" He bellowed, slamming the floor. "Everytime something in my life happens, it goes wrong. I help those who need it, so they dont end up like me. Ren, i care fo you, and i dont care if you think its weird." He choked back some tears, and looked away.
He got up and sighed. "Ren, you dont understand what i feel. and i honour your advise, and will keep it close. but i follow my heart more than my head. i know myself, that is why i was brought to this earth. it's my duty...." He sounded a little to honourable now. but in a good way. he turned away, and looked to the sky.

Austin pretty much lost Ren at " Ren, I care for you, and..." but snapped back into it when he said something about duty. She tried to follow his gaze up at the sky, but finding no intrest in it, she decided to get some sleep. If was night time after all. Maybe when she woke up, their conflict will be resolved somehow.

"Ren, you must rest. ill watch out for intruders" He stated, standing up and looking round. He stood tall, and often walked a little further than her sight, making sure it was just them.
The skies turned darker as the sun set faster. Time started to flow away, as if it was sand through some fingers.

She gave him a small grunt as he left, letting him know that she heard him. Quickly she fell asleep. When she woke up next, it was morning. Not exactly the time she wanted to wake up at, but it was an...okay time to do so.
Getting up, and ignoring the pain in her leg, she decided to go back to her plan of going to Sailand for winter. Seeing a few snow flakes fall to the ground, she hugged her jacket against herself and decided if she was going to do so, she was going to have to get on a boat soon.
