"Hmm." Isabella scanned the streets below, they were so empty she half expected someone to pop out behind her and scare her. No one did however, obviously. But she wasn't a fool, this was suspicious as it could get. Either the human really did have a lot of power and had called of the search, but that still left the painful question of why. Or they were waiting somewhere, with some sort of ambush or perhaps waiting for her to make a move. The thought of making the first move was horrifying, but if this was an opportunity would she miss it by staying put?
Ghahh, how frustrating. And confusing. She blamed it all on the humans again as she made her way down the building. Damn, she was seriously handicapped not even being able to jump down without her wings to soften the landing. She absent-mindedly scraped the dried blood off her arm as she walked, keeping low and against the walls like a cat backed up by something much larger. Her wide eyes constantly flickering back and fourth for signs of movement but there was none- it was a hallow ghost town. Possibly giving her more anxiety the if there was someone pointing a gun to her head. Danmitt, were the fuck were they all? She had seen them swarming yesterday, and now all the humans had gone into hiding. She didn't feel like she was being watched, and demons had a very good sense of things like that. Isabella went to tuck her wings in and recoiled in her own pain, clenching her teeth and drawing a shaky breath. Her tail resided wrapped around her waist as always in intense times were it was not needed, what the hell her balance was already thrown off by the awkward wing a tail would do no good to fix that. She felt like one of those birds her group used to pick off for a meal, the way there wings would hang limply after death slightly extended and forever awkward. Fuck, yeah that was her.
Speaking of food, Isabella could feel her ravenous hunger practically snarling at her and demanding to be satisfied. If only she had been able to catch that little demon. Hmm, perhaps now was not a good time to be thinking about food. If she could help it. Isabella jumped lightly down a few feet and hit the street ground, standing up tall although she was mostly hidden by one of those big colorful metal machines. This one was red, red was such a nice color. Alright Isabella, get your mind together. She slid along the street sticking to the corners of buildings and houses, rather then moving away from the city her focus had unintentionally shifted to scanning for any signs of life. A sudden loud scraping noise caused her to jump a few feet in the air at least and nearly have a heart attack, hands spread with claws ready to rip at anything that came in contact with her and eyes searching aggressively before she looked down and realised she and kicked the gun while walking. Oh. Hmm. Isabella crouched down beside it, slightly out in the open but her curiosity got the better of her as she eyed the strange thing. She decided against touching it, least it explode or something. It certainly wasn't edible.
Only a short time later Isabella sat against a crumbling building wall, she could see the streets from here but had picked it because it wasn't out in the open. She just had to sit down, the drilling pain in her left wing arm was too much with each step. Now she had pulled it painfully in front of her, and knew exactly why. Three of the bullets had gone through alright, they were nowhere to be seen and left already healing holes in the skin beneath her feathers. Three that she had somehow allowed to slip her mind until now had buried themselves into the arm and needed to be pulled out. For humans, bleeding out was the problem in a situation like this and would only get worse if the bullet is pulled out. For demons? There bodies couldn't handle the strange substance and refused to start healing until it was gone. Bleeding out was nothing, unless there throats were slashed. She had just spent the last twenty minuets building up the courage to prod close enough, and immediately drew back with a groan. This was by far the most sensitive part of her body, even on the outside would have been better. Isabella took a deep breath. Then another. Then she dug her claws into the wound and screamed through clenched teeth.
