At the whistle and the shaking of the ground, without a doubt they were beyond attempting to sneak out among the chaos because even a blind person could feel the rumbling of the quickly approaching creatures.
It wasn’t a surprise that Judas wanted to include all three of his children, because they were clearly more then pets and Valerie could understand and respect that.
She turned when Judas addressed her and gave him a warm smile and nod of her head. She wished that the three of them could meet under peaceful circumstances, and one day that might happen. That was the goal of Judas, Kathrine and their crew, to make the world a better place by bringing justice to those who thought they were above the law. She worried about them, they were her friends and they risked their lives, even Kathrine because she reminded her so much of Yui, grumpy but with a good heart.
“Thank you, Judas-san. I know I’m safe with the both of you!” She turned and gave Kathrine a small smile and nod of her head.
Once the three Hell Beast were before them, Valerie found herself in awe of them. A Basilisk, a Panther and an Albino Wolf, three beautiful creatures that seemed to match the personality of their handler. Valerie reached out a hand, not quite to pet them but to let them sniff her, to know her scent before she could run a hand over them. The cold, wet nose of the wolf bent his head down, sniffing as the gush of hot hair blew against her freckled skin.
There were distant shouts growing louder, there was no question that the Marines were forcing through the frenzied and excited fans who were still filled with excitement from the performance their idol had given them, many of them wouldn’t have had a chance to see Judas otherwise.
“They look just as beautiful and amazing as they did the first time I met them! Though outdoor lighting fits them better than the small lighting of the compound where I first met them.”
Valerie’s fingers gently traced over one of the golden bangles that gently jingled on her wrist with the slightest movement of her hand, making note that she would have to spend time with her own special friend when she was able to get back to Yui and the boat.
“If there is ever a free moment that you and Kathrine have, and its safe, I really want us to meet and spend more than a few moments together, and not sprinting a marathon, though at this rate I won’t have any trouble keeping up with the both of you!”
Despite the seriousness of the situation, Valerie found that giving someone a reason to smile could make the situation slightly more bareable, and although Kathrine didn’t seem to approve of the time and place for joking, Valerie knew that it was simply because the woman was very focused on her job, protecting the people she cared for but that did not mean she didn’t appreciate it under normal circumstances.
Valerie glanced over her shoulder once more towards where they had run from, though they had a small head start they couldn’t waste their time. She turned back around to face her friends. “What are we going to do now?” she asked Judas.
