Mutual Survival

[Alacrán]

A sadistic smile begins to form on Alacrán's face as he watches the fear and terror fill the souls of the humans with a sick and twisted smile. He's only mildly surprised to see that their survival instincts seem to return to them as they flee from him and his fellow Hollow, who he really pays no mind to. He watches them for a moment with his smile before he glances at a nearby dumpster and then back at the fleeing group of humans. He then sends the dumpster barreling towards the, just barely clipping one of the humans with it.

One of his companions stops as the human falls and let's out a cry of pain and seems to be debating something for a mere moment. They then, in what Alacrán would consider a poor sense of self-preservation, turn around and runs back to help their friend up and begins shuffling away from them. He watches this transpire for a couple seconds and then, with a single swipe of his deadly arm, slices through both of them.

They die instantly and as their lifeless body falls to the ground their spirits remain where they were standing. The spirits stare down at their lifeless bodies in shock as they try to comprehend what exactly is happening to them. The wet crunching noise of their friend being consumed by the horrifying smaller Hollow draws their attention but when they turn around the completely forget about that noise as they stare up at the massive, terrifying, scorpion-espue Hollow that stood behind them.

They both stare up in horror, the scent of their fear permeated the air and their souls as it was also plastered on their faces. One of them seems to gather enough of their wits to weakly stammer out, "W-what t-the h-hell i-is t-that?" Alacrán's head wipes towards the one who spoke as he then drives his arm deep into the stomach of the spirit and lifts him up to his face, which has the same sick and twisted grin fixed on it, "I am your end." He the bites the upper half of the spirits body off his arm like it were a shish kabob.

The other spirit screams in fear and their survival instincts seem to kick back in once more as they try to flee from the horrendous scene. It doesn't get very from Alacrán before he bats it into a nearby wall, causing them to crumble down to the ground, knocking them out in the process. Alacrán frowns as he trots over to the unconscious spirit's body and stabs it, which actually wakes them from their forced slumber with tremendous pain. Alacrán grins as he lifts them up and quickly consumes them.

Once he finishes his meal he turns to see if Teresa has finished as well, tilting his head and watching her with curiosity as she goes to work. Once she is finished with the last two humans that are fleeing, he slowly approaches her, "Is this enough for you or will you need more?"

{Consumed}x2 Class 8 Humans

[Teresa]

Eating the human males in the alley was something that Teresa hadn’t really gotten to experience, at least not since she had first arrived in the human world. When she had first gotten here she had been lucky enough to arrive right by a large source of prey. Using this to her advantage she had attacked multiple at once and devoured them together. Since then though, having virtually no luck with finding more than a single human at once. So it was rather nice to just be able to start the next prey right away.

The noise of the bodies being broken from her fangs was something that drowned out the sound of everything else around her. The crunching sound of bone snapping apart becoming tiny fragments that Teresa would eventually swallow. Eating the bodies of her victims at a speed that one would compare to a young child by themselves in a candy shop. The last one she had waited gave him time to experience fear in the hopes that it could bring some more of the adversaries, but after about ten seconds Teresa’s patience was gone.

Now after devouring all of her prey despite her figure showing no such massive intake of food, Teresa stands watching as the scorpion hollow finishes his own meal and turns to her. Although both were Hollow they couldn’t look much different, one very large with animalistic aspects while the other looked very human with certain aspects so thin they looked fragile. Teresa paused when asked his question though and thought for a moment as blood drips from her chin to the ground below,

“Eventually something will try to stop us. Why not take our fill and then see if they can do any better than the first group.”

[Alacrán]

Alacrán nods as he is about to turn around and venture back out of the alley until he let's out a grunt of pain as he goes flying backwards and crashes into a wall. He groans as he lifts himself up and finds his attacker is nothing more than a puny human woman. He gives them a confused look as he shakes the rubble off his body.

Joining the female are four other humans who don't look particularly amazing in any shape or form yet they all are able to see the two Hollow's that have just finished their bloody feast. The one at the back of the group, a rather androgynous looking person, speaks up, "Well well, seems we have a couple of unruly Hollows trying to lay claim to the area gang. Unfortunately for them, this place is under our protection and not those useless Shinigami imbeciles. I'd say they bit off more than they can chew. Make them feel welcomed."

Alacrán frowns as he pulls himself from the rubble. As far as he could tell there was absolutely nothing special about these humans aside from their ability to see the two of them. Then how was that woman able to send him flying? He didn't see any weapon and it seems like her attack wasn't actually that powerful as he doesn't feel any damage to his exoskeleton.

He doesn't get a moment to completely figure this out as the other four seem to follow their leader's command and rush the Hollows. Alacrán grins at the prospect of a real fight with some humans as the one who had punched him earlier leaps toward him with an flying superman punch which he tries to intercept with his own blades. This proved to be ill advised however because as soon as her fist connects with his hand, he feels a force send his arm back with a tremendous amount of force equal to about 300 Reiatsu Strength.

As his arm drags him backwards once more, he finds himself being stopped in midair and then flung back towards the girl who'd just sent him flying. He manages to catch sight of a rather meekly boy who's holding up some stick that definitely seems to be responsible for sending him to another painful meeting with the girls fist. As it she punches him for a fifth time, he manages to whip his tail around and catch her in the leg with it, causing her to falter and let out a cry of pain.

The boy upon noticing this, drops whatever control they have over him and rushes to the girls side. Seeing them side by side now, Alacrán does notice that they seem similar to each other, quite possibly related. That doesn't really matter however as he stands up with a malicious grin, "Well well, what do we have here? A couple of puny humans who think themselves stronger than they really are. Ya really thought five humans were any match fer two Hollows such as ourselves who have survived by mercilessly killing all who stood in our way. Ya'll need a little more than that two part magic trick ta bring me down. Sadly, I won't give ya that chance."

He swings down on them, but the girl manages to muster some of her rapidly disappearing strength to throw a counter punch to Alacrán's swings and send him flying once more. He pulls himself from the rubble for a second time with a very annoyed growl and click of his mandibles but pauses as he notices the girl sobbing over he now bloodied boy. It seems she hadn't been able to counter Alacrán's attack fast enough to spare her brother from it or perhaps the recoil of the impact had forced one of his many deadly limbs to slice him. Whatever the case may have been, that was one annoying fly dealt with.

The girl glares at Alacrán and manages to pull herself up despite being drained by his venom and not seeming to actually have much physical strength. Still she takes a step towards Alacrán as a green light appears underneath her feet and then rockets her towards the massive Hollow. Unfortunately this only amplified her speed up to a measly 100 which Alacrán is sufficiently able to dodge out of the way of, having learned his lesson on countering her attacks.

As she lands back on the ground with a bit of heavy breathing, Alacrán himself decides to make use of his own speed technique and grins before sidestepping into an Ulcera which causes her to panic before her eyes widen and she coughs up a mouthful of blood. Staring down a her abdomen, she finds that the Hollow has reappeared behind her and has driven it's scythe like arms into her. He raises her up and forces her to stare into his eyes as he then carries her over to her dead brother's body where now his soul was rising from it.

She seems to realize what he was planning to do however she was completely unable to do anything to stop this horror as her strength had been completely drained, between her wounds and the venom she was too weak to even lift a fist. So she continues to watch on with terror as Alacrán stabs the spirit of her brother and yanks him to his mouth, quickly consuming him.

The last thing she sees before she loses consciousness is the pained and pleading look on her brother's face. As soon as she's out however, he sends her to join her brother in his stomach as he then turns to how Teresa had faired with the other two humans who'd gone after her as well as to where their leader had went who seems to have just vanished but was still very much nearby.

{Consumed}X2 Class 4 Humans

[Teresa]

Almost as if on cue the individuals that Teresa was certain would arrive to try and stop them did exactly that, although it wasn’t the usual adversaries that were clad in black cloth and used swords. No this was a small group of humans that not only were able to see both of them, but right away managed to kick the large scorpion off the ground, hard enough that it wound up in a pile of rubble. Teresa would be the first to see the group of humans although taking action against them wasn’t something she chose to do drastically.

She’d just seen that one of the females was strong enough to knock a Hollow much larger than herself around so it stood to reason that these humans were strong. Potentially stronger than any of the adversaries that Teresa had come across up to this point. Taking care to look over all the humans Teresa got ready to face them down. She was certain her current partner hadn’t been finished off with that single hit which meant she would have aid.

The more important thought was that these humans seemed strong which meant they just might be filling to her, they just might be delicious. Five of them are enough for the two Hollows to quench their hunger if they were strong enough. Teresa was determined now despite what physical strength she had seen to claim three of them as her food. Especially the one in the back. The one that somehow Teresa could tell was far beyond all the others, the one that would taste better than all the others.

Over the next few moments the battle between the Hollows and the Humans ensued. The massive scorpion Hollow wastes no time, getting into a battle with two of the humans including the one female that had been strong enough to knock him off his feet and into a pile of rubble. The two that Teresa could claim as her prey were a bit different than the ones that currently were facing off against the scorpion. While those two seemed to be good at close combat the ones that had their eyes on Teresa were very different.

She found this out the hard way when one of them causes a bright green light to emanate from the ground and in the moment that follows a slab of concrete was raised up and out of the ground right towards her. Raising her left arm just in time Teresa felt the slamming force of the slab against her. Immediately she could tell standing where she was hadn’t been the best choice. She had to move before they had managed to get their attack off. Anticipating and reacting, something she had to get better at for sure.

Cracks breaking across her left arm on the bone like armor that covered her body, the result of the slab slamming into her. Knocked back several feet Teresa fought to keep herself upright and ready. Slipping through the fabric of reality in the same way as the scorpion Teresa would appear above the two humans that were hers to call prey. The target was the one that had just harmed her. Yet as she dropped down from several feet in the air down Teresa could suddenly feel her body overwhelmed with pain and numbness.

The other human, a female with long blue hair, was holding what looked like a thin rod or baton. The thing that Teresa immediately noticed though was the little bit of lightning that seemed to still be coming off from the ends of the baton. Now on the ground Teresa could feel little more than just pain, these humans were definitely better than the black clad swordsman. In just a few moments these humans had managed to harm her more than any of the adversaries had to this point, but that just meant they were better food.

Reaching out with her right hand the thin fingers wrapped around the ankle of the human female as Teresa pulls taking her from the standing position. Teresa wasn’t really aware of it, but her sharp claw-like fingers actually dug into the flesh of the human girl causing her a bit of pain and limiting her physical ability to move. Almost right away though Teresa felt impact once again this time on her stomach as the ground was raised up below her, lifting her upwards into the air with a heavy slam.

Her mask cracked out to reveal her mouth as she coughed up blood. This was more troublesome than she anticipated yet she knew that devouring these two was worth it. They were stronger than anything else she’d ever eaten which if she was right meant they’d possess the most flavor. Something more delicious than anything else she’d ever eaten. So pushing through the pain Teresa sees the male human next to the female below her.

Both right next to one another with the make playing protector Teresa slips through reality once again, opening up the Ulcera behind her in order to fly through it and then out the other side. Slamming into the male with the force of the earth that he had used against her. Knocking him to the ground more due to her size and not her weight Teresa frantically turns around and bites down. Managing to get the human male by his throat. Immediately Teresa’s body goes into a state of near frantic shock just from the taste of this powerful human.

Fighting through the almost unintentional soul inducing pleasure of devouring this soul Teresa turns to the girl next to her. The baton held out against her Teresa watches as lighting is cast towards her, the electricity causing her pain that just seems to build every moment that passes. Grabbing her ankle once again the lightning runs from Teresa to the human, shocking her as well. Her white bone like armor scorched a dark grey from the lightning with major cracks on her left arm and stomach region.

Teresa pulls on the ankle of the human female only to place herself on top of the girl and bite down. The only thing Teresa could be thankful for right now being the massive amount of fangs that lined her mouth. So long as she managed to bite down on someone she could kill them. At least so far that’s how it went. She wasn’t really sure why she was able to endure the pain of those blows, but knew that she’d been right. The taste of these humans was better than everything else she’d ever experienced. To the point that right now even though she wasn’t out of danger completely she was experiencing an almost high like sensation like a human on heroin.

Humans Devours: 2x (Class 4)

[Alacrán]

Alacrán glances over at Teresa and notices her beginning to dig into her meals. He honestly wouldn't mind if she indulged in her kills but it was how long it took her and he could tell that she wasn't staying aware of the area around them. She was letting the bliss of her hunger being fulfilled override her senses which in turn left her open. His mandibles click together in irritation as he begins to make his way over to her.

He knew that it was dangerous but it was even more dangerous that their leader had disappeared and he couldn't sense her. "Hey what did I tell ya? Ya need ta stay awa- urf" Just as he was marching over to the smaller Hollow, he'd end up being caught off guard as a blast of air with a reiatsu strength of 150 sent him barreling out of the alley and into a nearby building.

He groans as he leans up and spots the human woman holding a staff, he couldn't tell if it was plastic, wooden, or metal from his position, that was pointed in his direction. It also appeared as though the air around it was shifting and wavering wherever the tip was pointed. "Well...this isn't quite how I saw this going but I promise you, this will end here you disgusting filthy mongrels." Alacrán pushed himself up and sent himself flying towards where the human stood.

Just as he's about to reach her and stab towards her with his arm, she raises the staff again and a blast of air meets his arm and holds it off from piercing the girl. Alacrán for once actually looks surprised before the air explodes and sends him spiraling back towards the ground with a rather harsh crunching sound.

[Teresa]

The mind erasing effect that this flesh was imposing on Teresa kept her from the surrounding situation. Even as the scorpion Hollow made it a point to come over towards her and begin to speak knowing that she was lost in the consumption of her prey. The blood poured down from her chin onto the ground as Teresa shoved chunks of flesh into her wide fang filled mouth. Munching after chewing and swallowing all actions that were normal for any individual yet the actions from Teresa were more savage almost as if she were afraid at any moment she could die from starvation if she didn’t consume as fast as possible.

It wasn’t until the air blast that sent the scorpion Hollow flying from the alleyway to the side of a building across the street that Teresa finally came to her senses. It wasn’t from her current ally being sent backwards from an attack though. It was due to the fact that the air blast also managed to knock Teresa away from the corpse she was devouring. Sending her toppling through the alleyway several feet. The majority of her white armored body in the front now wet in the blood of the humans Teresa stands looking at the human wielding a staff. This was the one she wanted more than any of the others.

It took her a moment to realize that the scorpion Hollow wasn’t in the alleyway anymore, but once she didn’t she recognized him coming back towards the human from the other side of the alleyway. Attacking in unison was the best bet right now. This human was using air to fight while the other one had used stone. “They must have a preference then.” Thought Teresa as she realizes the fact although whether or not the human could use both didn’t cross her mind right now. As she rushed from the other side Teresa attempted to thrust her right hand out to grab the human by her throat.

Just like the scorpion Hollow though Teresa’s hand is stopped before it can reach the human and then she’s knocked off her feet once again. Teresa feels intense pain spreading through her arm from the damage she had sustained against the last human. Knocked to the ground once again, Teresa’s fall causes the cracks to spread further as blood begins to seep from the wounds. Getting back up to her feet Teresa finds she can’t move her left arm very well now while the human is completely find and now twirling the staff around and sends out another fist of air towards her forcing her backwards down the alleyway.

[Alacrán]

Alacrán uses this time to recover once again and watches as the human seems to almost toy with his fellow Hollow. He also noticed that the staff seemed to be how she was primarily taking control of the air around them. Before his thoughts could get any further, he leaps up into the air as another burst is sent towards him, just missing as it causes the rubble to explode.

He glances back down at her with an irritated look and growls as his mandibles click together. These humans had hardly damaged him and yet they were proving to be one of the more difficult enemies he's had to fight so far. Almost as if proving his point, he feels the pressure of air on his back as he's suddenly sent back to the ground as a burst of air had appeared behind him.

He roars out in anger and shoots a glare towards her as he watches her twirl the staff once more. She was for sure using that staff to help her control the air somehow. he didn't care for the specifics though, he just knew they need to get it away from her. He shoots Teresa a look and then back at the staff, hoping she had her wits about her again and that she would understand what he wanted her to do.

Regardless of how she responded to that though, he then took off in a charge towards the building that the girl was perched on, crashing through it the wall and destroying as much of the structure as he could before he stepped into an Ulcera to appear roughly where the roof had been and takes a massive swing towards the girl, putting every ounce of force he had into it and trying to break her dome of air.

The dome seemed to waver and the girl actually seemed to struggle for a moment as the staff made a cracking noise before the dome exploded once more and sent Alacrán flying into the air this time. As he spun about in the air, he tried his damnedest to make eye contact with Teresa and give her a nod for her to try whatever she had interpreted from him if she hadn't done so already.

[Teresa]

Getting knocked around wasn’t something that anyone would enjoy usually, right now specifically though it was someone that Teresa couldn’t condone at all. She had been trying to eat that delicious human and this one had stopped her. The only form of retribution that was acceptable now was for this human to be consumed. The pain that Teresa was experiencing from her left arm was more than she’d felt until this point from any of her battles, but the hunger that was building in her aided her in fighting through it. Now not only was the blood of her victims dripping from her body into the ground below, but her own from her wounds as well.

This time tumbling down the alleyway wasn’t as bad although the bleeding on her left arm grew worse as did the cracks in her body. Normally perhaps she’d question what would happen if her body cracked enough that it shattered, right now though Teresa was starting to truly go feral. Her mind is a swirling mess of primal instincts. The scorpion Hollow wasted no time attempting to end this human once again causing a fair amount of damage to one of the buildings that made up the alleyway. The human falling down into the alleyway seemed defenseless now as Teresa rushed forward towards her.

The slight nods from the scorpion Hollow along with the other such clues that he was attempting to give her went unnoticed due to her current state of mind. The only thing in her view of vision right now was the human as she went tunnel sighted. Her left arm dangling backwards as blood drips from her now useless limb. As the human nears the ground of the alleyway Teresa is just upon her leaping forward while opening her mouth in a savage attack meant to bite down on her body resulting in her death right away. Unfortunately the human was a fast thinker and stopped her descent just in time.

Staying several feet up off the ground the Human suddenly moves at a speed far beyond what Teresa had seen from the other humans or anyone else before. After another moment or so passes Teresa is able to look up and see the human sitting on her staff in the air. Riding it like a broom as if she were some kind of witch. A shy smile and a snicker. “Jeez they really didn’t listen to my advice if you two were able to bring them down.” Staying now high in the air more than twenty feet above the top of the buildings the human extends out of right hand and in the moment that follows a small orb of wind is sent out at the scorpion Hollow followed by another sent down at Teresa.

[Alacrán]

Alacrán is quite too busy trying to stop himself from soaring through the air to notice the wind orb heading his way. Just as he had landed, managing to catch a building although that resulted in a part of it being torn off, the small orb reach him and delivered it's pressurized attack. He growls as he stares up at the gloating woman as she mocked them. This was really starting to piss him off.

As he leaped off the building he had caught himself on, he glances into the alley they had started in and let's out a very frustrated noise as he notices that his companion had seem to go back to being uncivilized...or at least as uncivilized as a Hollow can be as they were not very civil creatures to begin with. He stares up at the gloating woman again and then at his fellow Hollow. An idea popped into his head that made him grin rather deviously.

He makes his way over to Teresa before she could try to attack the woman again, shouting and growling at her to get her attention as he does. Whatever kind of reaction this would draw from her didn't matter to him as long as he had her attention and was stopping her from attack the human. As soon as he reached her, he swiped her up as carefully as he could with his bladed arm which is a lot harder than it sounds and turns on the human, chucking Teresa at her.

While the Hollow was sailing through the air, Alacrán began to charge up his small Cero in his mouth and while it was weak sure it should be more than enough to deal with air just from the heat alone. There is slight hitch in his plan however as he hadn't noticed her performing her speed act earlier and so he was really only running with the fact that he'd seen her use her barrier twice. So as soon as his Cero Morder nears the peak of it's charge he leaps up towards her, disappearing into an Ulcera and reappearing above her shooting towards her like a giant red star with his Cero aimed to collide with the barrier. Or at least that's the plan.

[Teresa]

Although getting knocked backwards was painful and caused quite a bit of damage to Teresa now that it had happened a few times it was irritating more than anything else. The Hollow experiences the frustration that a majority of younger humans may have experienced while playing a fighting game in their youth. Playing against a foe that spawns the low ground sweep kick over and over again leaving you unable to do anything other than lose. The insane frustration of the situation burning up all other emotions that flare within your soul. Teresa getting back up onto her feet once again feels this burning rage as she stares up at the human only to feel the orb of pressurized air slam into her torso.

Forcing her backwards at a slight angle after a few feet Teresa slams against one of the walls in the alleyway hard enough that she'd be forced through it and into the building itself. Intense pain shoots through her body as she realizes that her back is in severe pain. This was worse than anything else she’d ever felt with only one thing being worse that she could recall. The gas that had killed her as a human had felt worse, but right now it was hard to imagine anything being more painful than her chest and back. Cracks now apparent on both locations while her left arm was left mangled.

After a few moments Teresa manages to get up and out of the building that she had been forced into, now back in the alleyway she looks up for the human and sees the Scorpion Hollow as well. Agitated noises are made with his attention turned towards her. Teresa acknowledges that he wants her to do something. Although she’s not sure what he wants to do Teresa waits watching the scorpion while keeping the human in sight. She doesn’t really ask questions, not sure how speaking would feel with her current injuries. Teresa instead realizes what the scorpion wants to do and goes along with it allowing him to throw her up at the human.

Soaring up through the air Teresa begins to suffer the same sort of tunnel vision that she had been going through during her last attack. Twirling her arms around the human seems to ready another attack yet isn’t fast enough to stop Teresa from reaching her. Teresa, once again ready to bite into her prey finds herself slamming into the protective dome of air that this human seems to rely on without any fair warning of it being set up. Fighting through the pain as she’s sent back down to the building below, Teresa sees the scorpion Hollow appear above the human.

Slamming into the roof of the building Teresa gasps in pain as she finds her body truly doesn’t wish to continue. This battle had pushed her to what appeared to be her current limit. Laying on the roof for a moment Teresa soaks the stone below her in her blood. Only gaining more alertness and purpose when she feels the vibration of impact on the roof only a few feet away. Turning her head over Teresa sees the human on the roof struggling to get back up as blood leaks from her skull. Slipping through a Ulcera, Teresa appears on the ground behind the human.

Grabbing the bottom of her staff and pulling back on it Teresa takes the Human by surprise, getting her close enough to grab her left leg and get her to the ground. Puncturing her calf with her bone thin fingers Teresa bites down on the left shoulder of the human sinking her fangs through her flesh. The fries of the girl radiating through Teresa’s ears as she feels the pressure of her fangs break through the human’s shoulder. Over the next few seconds Teresa continues to devour the human alive until her soul is finally consumed and Teresa is left to continue her feast in ignorance of the damage she’d sustained.

Devoured Class 4 Human: 1x

[Alacrán]

Alacrán lands on the building next to Teresa and watches her feast with rather tired breathes. He didn't really mind her taking the meal as she had dealt the final blow and he'd also already felt pretty sustained himself. He's quite surprised to see how much damage she'd sustained though, forgetting that other Hollows don't possess the same level of armor as he does. Despite that there were small cracks, scratches and dents here and there in his exoskeleton that did cause him some degree of pain but he ignored it to the best of his ability for now.

He approaches Teresa and waits for her to finish her feast before clearing his throat and gesturing to the are around them which was littered with broken building and cracks in the pavement, "I think we've had a successful enough hunt for today. It'd be wise that we leave this area for a while and hide before someone as strong them or worse stronger shows up. We won't be able ta handle them if we stay."

Whether she's listening to him or not, he begins to turn and walks off from the area in a rather hurried speed. He glances behind himself for just a quick moment to make sure she followed as she had more than proved her strength today that he at least wanted to make sure he wasn't leaving her to die at the hands of someone else.

If she died well...that'd be a waste of a meal and of potential. If she does follow him or at least disappears from the area he just hopes that the she's got a firmer handle on her mind. If not then he fully expects it to get her killed and if she dies then he at least wants to be there to claim the body for a meal, as cruel and demented as that was it was the nature of a Hollow. Or maybe just him.

[Teresa]

After several moments passed with nothing, but the wet noise of flesh being torn apart, chewed and swallowed Teresa hears the sound of the scorpion Hollow near her and lifts her head up from the now corpse of their defeated foe. Teresa listens to the scorpion while getting back up onto her feet by placing her right hand on the roof and pushing upwards. Her injuries were enough that getting up took three of her limbs and even then her movements would seem to suggest she wasn’t just in pain, but her muscles weren’t cooperating with certain decisions. Although she didn’t want to admit it, the fact she couldn’t fight further was obvious.

“Told you someone worth eating would show up.”

Bending forward Teresa grabs at the corpse attempting to pick it up although finds that due to the damage sustained on her chest and back she’s unable. Posing perhaps an even bigger problem to the Hollow now. She had three corpses to feast on that were delicious yet bringing them with her wasn’t possible. Staying here and devouring all three before someone else comes along . . . Unlikely. Making due with what she can Teresa tears off one of the legs deciding that she’ll bring it along with her as a snack to sustain her hunger when it surfaces again without a doubt.

Although the hunt has been successful Teresa does not follow the scorpion knowing that she has a hiding place of her own in the town. Although they hunt together Teresa is aware of her current state and not willing to trust anyone, especially another Hollow. So while the scorpion leaves the area so too will Teresa by dropping down from the roof of the building down to the street and then entering the sewer through the nearest manhole cover. The hunt was over for today and the Hollows had emerged victorious.
