"She's moving. She must have heard us coming." Sarin sighed.
"Maybe we should leave her alone." Anthrax shrugged.
Sarin shook her head adamantly.
"No, there's too much on her mind. She'll sit and stew on it and end up back in the ward."
"Then how do you suppose we catch her and get her to come out and talk to us? She's impossible to track. You only have a hot or cold sense." Responded Anthrax slightly aggravated.
Without warning Sarin shoved Anthrax hard to the ground.
"What the blazes was that for?" She yelled.
Sarin didn't answer instead she drew a pistol and fired. Anthrax saw it coming and rolled out of the way. She fired her paralyze, but missed. Sarin fired a few more times, grazing Anthrax twice.
Her eyes burning like tiny white jets, Anthrax exploded in to Pestilence. The snakes from her head struck and lashed back and forth angrily. Sarin grinned and changed to War.
While firing rapidly, War started producing her deadly red fog. Pestilence countered by conjuring up a whirling sandstorm between them. The deadly fog shifted directions and the bullets were scoured away before they reached their target.
An explosion threw them apart. Kita appeared in the epicenter, glowering unmercifully at the pair.
"What the bloody blazes are you to fighting about?" She yelled in an angry voice laced with sadness.
War changed back to Sarin. Pestilence did the same.
"Nothing," Sarin admitted.
"We were?" Anthrax glared at Sarin.
"We were just trying to draw you out." Sarin explained.
Kita looked at the pair and felt all the anger drain away. She landed and nodded, suddenly the sorrow she felt seemed especially heavy. She didn't know what to say to them. She knew they cared, but what could that do? It wasn't going to make it better. Frowning, she shook her head and turned and started to walk away.
"Kita, wait," Anthrax called running after her with Sarin right behind her.
Catching up she grabbed Kita and the pair planted themselves in front of her.
"Kita stop, talk to us. It's why we're here. We know this has got be devastating for you. But you cannot bottle up and end up back in the ward. Let us help you make it through this. You've been doing so well."
"Come on Babe, you know you need to. We both love you and it hurts us to see you having to go through this. Let us help." Sarin offered softly.
Kita looked at them with tears bubbling up in her eyes.
