In this life-or-death situation, Charles had no interest in wasting words and charged forward immediately. Though gripped by utter terror, Swan acted fast, yanking a ring from his finger and throwing it to the ground. Black smoke instantly filled the air.
Charles quickly backed out of the smoke, his eyes scanning for his target. He soon spotted Swan at the window he had smashed open. Swan took a leap of faith, diving straight through the opening to the outside.
Charles wasn't worried. It was a pointless gesture; the area was already surrounded by the grey-robed figures. Just as he expected, when Charles followed him out the window, he found a terrified Swan being forced back toward him by the crowd of grey-robes.
WHIRRRR! The bloody chainsaw spun rapidly, flinging a line of blood onto the ground. With a push from his feet, Charles charged straight at Swan.
