((Knew that was going to happen))
Oliver gasps in surprise and shock as he watches Iole collapse to the ground, clenching her side as the blood flows freely from the fresh wound.
"Iole..." He catches her as she collapses, cushioning her fall to the snow. "Oh gos! Iole! Iole!" He stutters out. "I didin mean too! Oh gos, pease don die! Im sorry!" He presses his hand against her wound, applying pressure. "Holon! Help!" He looks up and yells. "Ayone! Help!"

::Iole reaches up and grasps Oliver's paw in her hand. She rasps and stutters as she tries to speak::
N-n-nurse.... g-g-get me back.

Hearing the cries, Adrian changes his direction through the chaos, swearing to himself that it sounded like Oliver. Through several back streets and down an alley, he arrives upon the scene with Iole on the ground, bleeding out, with Oliver over her trying to stop the blood.
"What happened!?" He asks as he charges forward, sliding in the snow to land beside them. "Move Oliver, let me see."
Oliver moves his hand to reveal the wound, blood begins to pour out like spilt soup. Oliver scoots back, shaking and crying, mutter incoherently that he didn't mean too, that he was tricked.
"Oliver, shut up and be quiet! She'll be alright." Adrian scolds him as he unwraps the bandage wrap that covered an arm. He applies the cloth to the wound before rummaging through a small pack at his side and pulling out some emergency supplies. "Stay with me Iole, focus on my voice." Adrian says, running his hand through her hair to comfort her. He then looks to Oliver. "Put pressure on the wound, I'll need both hands."
Oliver shakes his head no, afraid.
"Oliver! Get over here and do it, now! We don't have much time before she bleeds out!"
"I can't... I-"
"Oliver!" He reaches out and grabs his coat. "Do it now!" He then grabs his bloody hand and places it on Iole's wound. "There, hold it!"
Adrian prepares a quick suture, unscrews a bottle of what looks and smell like strong alcohol and another bandage. "Here, take a sip." Adrian says as he brings the bottle to Iole's lips, he doesn't give her an option, forcing her to take a swig of the burning liquid. He then pours the rest of the bottle on the wound and needle, it burns her, painfully so. He then ushers Oliver to move the makeshift bandage down the wound as he beings to sew the wound shut. "Try not to think about it, Iole, you're doing good. Just stay with me." It takes several minutes in the cold snow to temporarily seal the wound, by now, Iole must be freezing, which least makes the wound numb. Adrian bites the stitch off with his teeth then casts a minor heal on the wound to slow the bleeding and dull the pain.
"We need to get her inside, she's in shock." He mentions as he wraps the bandage over the suture. "I'm going to lift you up now Iole, focus on my voice. You'll be ok."
Adrian takes her up, placing Iole across his arms, still keeping pressure on the wound.
"Oliver and Kenny, help me find someplace to take her! How far is the nurse's flat?"

www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRxUpHHVINQ&feature=relatedThe shrill laughter of the woman from before rings out again as a dark shape zips across one of the rooftops. It spins into the air and lands lightly, perfectly balanced atop one of the flagpoles. "How did you like your cage? A small price to pay for my rage. Click, clack, when sky is black, the King is back. Set a sort of a scene he did, barbing the hook, baiting the trap, setting it out for the fools to snap. His bird can fly, and now you die." The figure on the lampost speaking in rhyme has a head of auburn hair that hangs wildly in her face. She has a mad look in her eye, and every movement she makes is feline and menacing. She's dressed in tight black leather that seems to be coming apart at the stitches. Whether that's the design, or if it's really tearing remains to be seen. Echidna stares down at them with triumphant glee in her mad eyes. She throws back her head and laughs her mad cackle.

"Yu!" Oliver yells, blaring his fangs once again. "Ges away fom us, pescially Iole!" He puts himself between Echidna on the flag pole and Adrian carrying Iole. "Won les ya hurt her again, ya'ricked me!" Oliver is furious, he's shaking from anger and adrenaline.

Little boy is pretty, not so witty.
::Echidna smiles wickedly, and begins to sing::
The curtain rises, the crowd will hiss, and who can see where the road will twist? Through dagger, magic, and sinful plots, No warning is heard and there's never a shot, and corpses are left on the road to rot.
And the songbird sings sweetly, for her lord and king. For the King in Yellow she won't cease to sing.
::Her shrill ear-splitting laughter echoes on the empty street::
I'm singing lord! I'm singing! In the air your music's ringing! Can I do it now? Take revenge on this wretched cow?
::She looks towards the sky, listening to something that the others can't hear. When she's through, she glares down at the others::
Not yet, but soon. My lord still has use for you. But once he's through. It'll happen, I'll make you die. I'll make you cry. This mad bird can still fly.
::She looks down at Iole, seeing the blood one her shirt. Then her wicked smile returns::
Perhaps I lied. You might still die. ::points to Oliver:: They're wounds from a friend, not I. But you'll still die.
(OOC: Whew. Sorry I'm taking so long with these. But it's getting harder to rhyme).

::Iole twitches in Adrian's arms. Her face is glistening in a sheen of sweat and her eyes are glazed over. But that voice and that laugh cut through the haze like a spike of ice::
R-r-rena? Is that you?

::Echidna licks her lips::
I love watching you all cry.
::She flings out one of her hands, sending a ball of light down at the others. It explodes in a flash that blinds them all temporarily. When they look back up at the lamp post, she's gone, but her mad laughter still echoes off the walls of the buildings around them::
Next time you die!

Oliver charges the pole upon which sits Echidna, but is stopped short by the flash of light and her sudden disappearance. Oliver just growls as he turns back around yet, stops suddenly, halting his return back to the others.
"I... gos ta do sumtin, 'ake care of Iole, ka?" Oliver then turns and runs off, once again, into the city at war.
"Oliver! Get ba- DAMMIT! Stupid kid." Adrian approaches Kenny and gives him Iole. "Take her to our nurse friend, fast. I need to go after Oliver."
With Iole safely in Kenny's protection, Adrian follows after Oliver, following the paw-prints in the snow.

:Kenny carried Iole in his arms as he look around thinking about what to do to help his sister. He then had an idea as he whistled for his phoenix which managed to appear just like that.: "My winged friend go and find Nurse Takano, Iole needs help as soon as possible"
:The bird listened on and squawked in agreement as it lifted up and flew to search for Nurse Takano:

Kenny hears an earsplitting scream the next street over. With Iole is his arms, he rushes toward where it was coming from, careful not to jostle Iole too much and undo her stitches. He finds himself running straight back to the Nurse's flat where she stands cowering in her doorway as his phoenix snaps at her, trying to get her to come out.
"Kenny help me! This thing came out of nowhere and I don't know what it wants! I think it's trying to eat me!"

:As Kenny saw the Phoenix snapping he whistled at it as the bird calmed down and moved out of the way for Kenny to come in with Iole in his arms.:
"Forgive me, he was supposed to find you. It's Iole she is hurt."
:He turns to the Phoenix and nods as flew off for now:

Adrian tracks Oliver to a street occupied by the Shaunkills and a few of the boys explain how Oliver had just passed through, looking like he was on some sort of mission and took a pipe-rifle with him as he ran off to another street.
The trail leads him to the street outside the Crest doctor's clinic. There, the trail dies, the blood soaked snow to trodden and dirty to make out in discernible footsteps.
"Great..." Adria exclaims frustratedly. "Oliver! Get your furry ass out here now!"

Back at the Nurse's flat, Takano quickly forgets about the phoenix and rushes to help Kenny carry Iole into the apartment. "Alright, just set her there on the couch and keep her head elevated. It's alright Iole, it's going to be fine. Who did this?" She lifts the Iole's shirt just up past her stomach and points the stitching along her wound. "They were pretty good for a begginner, but this wound's too deep to hold with those alone. Alright Iole, I need to give you a little more stitching. Just hold Kenny's hand, that's right, you're doing great. Don't worry, no needles this time. Just a few butterfly stitches ought to do the trick. You're going to be just fine."
She applies the butterfly stitching to Iole's side. It seems more secure now, and the nurse has managed to cauterize the wound to stop it from bleeding. "Alright, she'll be fine now. She just needs some rest. No organs were damaged, it was just really deep and she lost a lot of blood. She needs to sleep it off." The nurse lets Iole rest her head in her lap and brushes her hair out of her face. "So... how did it happen? Where did you guys go anyway? I was fixing some dinner for you guys out of the kindness of my heart and then suddenly you're not here anymore."

::A man approuches Adrian from behind, the sound of his sudden approuch being the crunch of snow beneath his feet.::
"Can I help you sir? Are you injured, which gang you with?"
:Asks the man, dressed in simple slacks, a long-sleeve button down shirt, glasses and an appron stained in blood. In his hands is a blood soaked rag which he wrings his hands through.::
"What can the doctor do for you?"

"So you're the guy everyone has been talking about. Good, yea, need your help. You know that Oliver kid? He's ran into here somewhere, think he might be trying something stupid." Explains Adrian with haste in his voice. The sights and sounds of the dead and dying grabbing for his attention all the while.
"Say, what's your name? No one ever seems to say it."

:Back at Takanos flat Kenny watches as the Nurse fixed up Ioles wound and afterwards he leaned on the wall until she asked him how Iole got hurt.:
"Honestly, I don't know...I found her like this, last thing i remember, we went after Oliver....And then we somehow got seperated."
:He was thinking about the visions he encountered only to be saved by the ghost of Natalia:
