There was a little shop at the edge of the road. It wasn't what you'd think of when you heard the word "shop". It looked more like a little house with a sign, really. The sign above the front door said "Feather Tarts" in large letters and said "small baked goods" in smaller letters below the other sign. It seemed like it could be regarded as shabby if the maintenance was any less well done. There were 2 floors and an attic. The first four was the shop, and Alyxrie lived on the other floors.
Aly had made a small batch of cookies and small cakes and was waiting to see if anyone was coming. She'd decided that she was going to invite members of the cult over to try them, but want sure how, so she'd left a note where she usually was and if anyone saw it, they'd probably be here. She'd invited some members personally, having interacted with them a bit, but the only two who'd responded we're Shadow and Niax. She sighed and sat down at one of the little tables she had, tugging on one of her sleeves a bit. She thought someone saw it slip a while ago, but she was probably being paranoid. 'Nobody would below it if they were told that my hands are detached, anyways,' she thought.

Shadow stepped lightly through town, unaccustomed to be out of the forest. She wondered if it was too late to turn back. Glancing around she noticed an odd group of three loitering about. They look puzzled and sinister, but then again most humans did. Thinking nothing of it Shadow quickly hurried towards Aly's shop of baked goods. She'd been offered sweets and she'd been damned if some humans were going to stop her from getting them. She hurried to the end of the road eager to taste the delectable sweets.
With more force than she intended, Shadow swung open the quaint door, ripped off her mask and hood, and said, "Aly! I'm here!"

Halub walked in a moment later, she wasn't much into sweets, but she was willing to come a support a cult member. She nodded hello to Shadow, and took off her hood as well. Just the smell of the baking cookies, almost regret her choice, but she sat anyways.

Aly grinned as her friends came into her shop. "You both made it!" She exclaimed happily. "I've got a few different kinds of cookies you could try if you want. Hey, did you see those figures outside?"As soon as she said this, the door busy open and the mysterious figures started walking in.

Shadow whirled around, her eyes narrowing as the three figures approached. The studied them. The group was comprised of two men, one rather large and bulk and the other slim and shady, and one woman, slim and devious looking. On the fence about these characters Shadow spoke up, "May we help you?"
Her question went unanswered.Shadow's eyes narrowed. There was something of with these people. Their shadows gave off an unpleasing aura. One of the men, the bulky one, suddenly stepped forward. He rushed in the direction of Perrie. "H-hey!" Shadow objected.

Halub stumbled back as the large and bulky man grabbed Aly. She fell against the counter, her hand cracking against the corner. She looked at the other cult member, not knowing her name, " What are we suppose to do?" She asked, panic rising in her voice. She knew how to fight, but she couldn't focus with the pain in her hand.

Aly wiggled out of the man's grasp and ran towards Halub. She pulled her around the counter and shouted at Shadow to follow. "Hurry, come on!" Before the intruders could react, Aly made the tables and chairs in her shop throw themselves at them. She tried to lock them in their own minds like she usually did if there were people after her, but it didn't work. She pulled Halub, who was hurt and slightly panicked, thorough the door to the back room and saw Shadow follow a few seconds later.

"My illusions should keep them busy!" Shadow called out, rushing to the others. "But we have to go now'

Halub took a deep breath calming herself, she ran after Aly. They were heading towards the woods behind the shop. The trees all looked ancient and moss covered, there was little space between their twisting trucks, but there did seem to be a thin trail. she rubbed her hand as she ran, willing the clay to soften and the crack to disappear. The men had followed and now seemed to be battling off invisible foes, the woman was unfazed by the illusion.
