Your POV

Enola, Tewkesbury, and I walk into the seemingly quiet household.

Enola and I follow his lead, as it is his house after all. "What's happened?" he asks us.

"They know we're here." Enola answers as they come to the foyer.

We walk to a table with a vase, when the sound of a gun cocking echoes around us. "Down!" I yell, bringing both of them down with me.

The vase of the table shatters as the bullet hits it. "Run!" Enola shouts, Tewkesbury and I hurrying after her as she breaks.

We pound on the door we came from but to no avail, "It's locked!" Tewkesbury cries.

"We hadn't noticed!" I shout as another gunshot nears us and we press out back to the wall.

Another bullet flies past us making Enola scream. The man in the brown bowler hat stalks closer and Enola yells again, "Down!"

I grab Tewkesbury's hand as run down the hall, various shots coming at us, Enola gasping every time.

It goes quiet for a moment before a bullet hits the statue hiding us making Enola duck and Tewkesbury gasps and holds onto my hand tighter.

Another shot is fired and Tewkesbury pulls us to a crouch.

It goes quiet as the man has to reload and I grab a fallen chunk of the statue and I throw it across the room, the man shooting repeatedly at the noise.

"Stay here." Enola mutters to the two of us as she army rolls to the other side of the hall.

I look back to Tewkesbury and our eyes travel down to our entwined hands and I clear my throat and he lets go, both of us avoiding eye contact as heat rises to our cheeks.

I turn back to the commotion to see the man come around the corner and he shoots at the armor making both of us jump.

I see Enola pick up a piece and we use the same distraction which gives me enough time to roll over to her.

The man walks closer after a few shots, a smirk on his features.

I look nervously over to the Viscount, as the man has his sights on him. Enola and I look to each other and nod.

As the man comes into our view and aims the gun at him, Enola runs out and jumps on his back and I lift the gun up so the shot narrowly avoids him.

He swings the gun around and nails me in the side before Enola grabs ahold of the gun and starts to choke him as he bangs her back against the wall and throws her to the ground.

He kicks her on the side and hits her face with the end of his gun, knocking her out.

I stand and quickly walk over to him, doing a sweep kick, making him fall flat on his back.

He scrambled to his feet and starts to fight me, but my mediocre skills at jiu jitsu fail me and he quickly gain the upper hand.

He kicks my ankle and I fall on my bottom, and I back away as he points his gun at me.

Until a familiar mop of brown hair crashes into him and throws his gun as far as he can.

The man turns and grabs a fistful of Tewkesbury's hair before nailing him in the face. I watch in horror as he quickly ties Tewkesbury into a chokehold.

"Get away from him." I cry. "Get away from him!" I yell, my strength returning as I stand and tear the man away from Tewkesbury.

He gets into a fighting stance and we begin our deadly dance, him advancing quickly on me. He takes a big swing and I duck quickly. He grabs my arms and forces me down before a flurry of black fabric curls around his ankle, pulling him down. His head lands on an odd piece of furniture making a nasty noise.
