Nick smirked and raised an eyebrow. "What? Afraid of a teenage thief?"
"Not you..." the elder glared, grabbing him and using him as a shield.
The hunters got a few good shots before Nick collapsed. They also got the elder then ran off.
Nick groaned. "Ow... Seriously?" Nick took a deep breath and pushed himself up weakly. "Let's go, dude."
He helped the elder up and handcuffed him, leading him off in a slight daze.
"I'm surprised you're still breathing," the elder remarked, wincing slightly. "They got you pretty good."
"Yeah, I noticed..." Nick replied, giving him a weak look. "Get in with the others..."
He pushed him in the back of the cart and locked the door. He handed the driver some coins and sat down at the front.
"Take us to Oscura..." Nick requested quietly, leaning back and rubbing his head.
The driver nodded and got the horses going. Nick winced and closed his eyes. Hunter weapons were painful... He had no idea until now.
