Hunters.
That's what they called themselves. Men and women who took up arms and armor against those they deemed 'supernatural' and 'evil'. James slotted in the qoutes in his mind, even as he limped away, silver bolt in his leg. He was a young man - no older than seventeen - and he was scared and frightened by his new power. He'd separated himself from his family out of fear, his hair now halfway down his back, one lens missing from his large glasses. His clothing was worse off, discolored by repeated wearings, and he had lost a lot of weight in his time away from a consistent source of food.
So it was that he was running for a catacomb of caves that served as a child playground and now a hideaway. His gray-blue eyes scanned the horizon as he ran, a limping motion, the wound in his leg burning with bright, powerful pain with every motion. But he couldn't pull it out, either, as it hurt his hand to do so.
And then the earth gave way underfoot, and he let out a small cry as he fell down, down, down... and landed with a sharp crack and a scream of agony. The silver bolt had broken in his leg, but a fragment remained, sealed inside by the healing flesh, and between two halves of a broken bone.
It hurt. It hurt so much. He wanted to go home. He wanted to see his mother. But most of all, he wished he wasn't alone...
