Darian simply grunted in response to Merel's comment as they drove out of Vale and into the wilderness. The lynx faunus drove for hours along the road, keeping the headlights off after the sun set, allowing his eyes to pierce though the dark better than any light could. Before long the women in the car had fallen asleep between the rythmic sounds of the car and Darian's quite diverse taste in music leaving the faunus in his solitude. The road was mostly clear, the occasional grimm caused wreckage blocking the road forcing him to swerve around it.

Twice since they had left the walls of Vale a Grimm had tried to attack the car but they had been too slow, the creatures chasing after the vehicle in vain until they disappeared in the blackness. Unfortunately their luck ran out at midnight.

"Alice, Merel, wake up," Darian stated firmly as he turned the lights on for the others, illuminating the road in front of them brightly as well as  behind them.

"Mwhaa...hu?" Alice replied groggily as she woke up, her neck slightly stiff from hanging at an odd angle for several hours.

Darian nodded to his left, several glowing red sets of eyes bobbing along in the darkness just inside the tree line. "We've got company girls, lots around us but I can't tell how many."

Alice shook her head as she got her bearings about her and felt her semblance working as she oriented herself. "We've got...twenty...no twenty six Grimm around us....maybe more. They're on our three sides and the ones towards the edges keep moving in and out so we could be dealing with more," the dark skinned woman reported as she got her weapon ready and unbuckled her seat belt. "They seem to be coordinating, waiting for- incoming! Two-o-clock!" the woman shouted as she sensed one of them rapidly changing direction.

Darian responded and slammed on his breaks and steered to the right, nearly going off of the road as one of the Grimm flew by in front of his car. The Grimm was a slender large cat, it's body black as the night around them with small white bone plates covering their skulls and all over their bodies, angling air upward as they ran. The cat stopped its lateral movement an ran next to the car for a moment before shooting off into the night again as quickly as it came.

"Hellcats!" Darian exclaimed as he looked at the cheetah like creature. "Great, of all the things to encounter out here we get to run into the things that can do over a hundred miles an hour!" the man grumbled as he grabbed the shifter and put the car into Manual shift mode before hitting the paddle on the back side of the steering wheel, shifting the car down two gears and giving it a burst of acceleration, shooting down the road.
