Nox quickly stood up as the girl said 'Blood'. He didn't doubt her word. Cade wasn't sure what the fuck was going on. How could she smell blood, the only thing he could smell was coffee and pastries baking. But the baby was thrust into the girls hands and he was out the door with only a passing word to him, a stranger man who Cade was pretty sure was with the little girl.
There was certain about of curiousity but there were two children who's guardians had just up and left without even a 'will you watch them'. Cade struggled with wanting to follow and with staying with the children who were now left alone at his table.
Cade stood up and fought with his inner self. He knew the right thing was to stay, but he wanted to see how crazy his brother actually was. Did he think he was really fighting monsters?
A woman rushed into the café and looked around frantically her eyes settling on the girl and the baby and rushed over. Someone else was now responsible for the girls. Cade grabbed his coat and threw it on over his shoulders and pushed his arms through as he rushed out the door after them.
He glanced down the sidewalk and found them just rounding the alley way. Cade followed and soon there was much more noise coming from the alley both men had disappeared from. Cade expected to find a fight, but when he rounded the corner he did not expect to see Nox fighting with a broken handle against a creature that made him go pale. He'd seen something exactly like it before... there was no mistake -- the long knife like talons on the ends of its fingers, the pale skin, the hissing sound it made as it had chased him and Anna. Cade was frozen in fear.
