Alleway

[post deleted by owner]

@〄 Jeon Jungkook Her senses spiked up as she felt the other presence in the room. Even in the state that she was in, her body was ready to fight or flight, making her blood shot eye rapidly opened and her nails growing long into dagger like length. "Who......what do you want?" She can barely choked out as one of her nail pressed against the other's neck ready to dig in if needed.

@♅ Go Yoon Jung *Sighs*
Why do you want to follow me?
*turns to you and squints*
I mean, seriously...

@♆ Karina /laughes and stick her toungue out.
where are you goingg

@♅ Go Yoon Jung *Cranes my neck to look at you again*
What...?

@♆ Karina i see..
/chew on cheek
because u smell funny

@☠ Christian Yu ¥✔ As far as he can remember, the man is more with it. The man’s sanity intact and begging Seunghyun to save him from his misery or better yet give him a chance to survive. The obssessive commentary to leave carcass alone made him chuckle. “Fool. I’m not here for your lousy meal.” The demon took a step forward and levelled himself to meet the man’s gaze. Quick to draw his dagger out, the sound of souls crying for help filled the air as the clouds heavily drowned out the moonlight. His eyes glow in yellow hue in contrast with his vampire vessel. he lifted his hand and across the man’s right arm, cutting him a little deeper to convey he is there for him. “Now, do I have your attention?”

@დ Jung Nicole *by now, i was back home and I went into the room and opened the door to the other and looked at the being on the floor. Looks around the room that I left and then came back to a long-haired person in it's way. Looking around for the creature. While looking, I found a body of a female. moving closer to the female, I crouch down looking at her seeing who she was*

@〄 Jeon Jungkook Her shadow friend stayed against the wall, watching her in her most vulnerable state. Memories of her past flashed against their eyes. From the constant time she's gotten hurt to the day she bloodied her hands after the assault. Her arms hugged her bare self tighter, almost crying out both in pain and from her memories. Her hair grew longer, shielding her as she toss and turn a bit.

@დ Jung Nicole *Arriving back to my 'place' of living. I watched the food, aiming through the direction that was known. My mind went to the tiny creature and i heard a bell behind me. Stopping, my ears ring along with the bell and a quick turn of my head and i looked at a male walking with the bell that jingled. my orbs following the person from where he walked until he disappeared behind a building. Watching, I looked at him and raised a brow moving towards the way. Getting to that way, I looked down the alleyway only to find the male gone. What many would call curiosity took me over and I scanned the area to have no sign of a body. my gaze went back in the direction of 'home'. Walks back home. It wasn't anything or really looked like much. But it was a place i felt 'warm'. so, i walked till i gotten to it*

@〄 Jeon Jungkook As her body heal, the bandages starts to feel a little tighter as her body starts to want to shift back into her regular self. Thankful that she was still in so much pain from healing, Nicole drifted in an out of consciousness, only barely making out when he said she was lucky. The amount of luck she did come across was truly mind boggling. No matter how much danger she puts herself into when she run through natural disasters, she always manages to come out okay. And in this moment, she's thankful for the kind stranger that took pity on her cat form. She owe it to them now. She didn't know how long her savior was gone, but all she knew was in the process of how fast her body kicked into gear from healing, she manages to break out of the bandages laying there in a fetal position, her bruises and cuts displayed better in her human form still unconscious.

@დ Jung Nicole *having addressing her wounds, I looked her over and nodded when I was done. Looking back at the male who came to take a look at you. They spoke about giving you pain medicine and keeping the antibiotics. Processing the information needed, I looked at him and a small nod of his words, You were bandage so the regeneration process was unknown. Not so much time inside, I tilted my head* You are. 'lucky' little one. *says while closing the door. hearing your stomach earlier on in the helping process, I decided to go out to get you something to eat. After all, the body needs to feed to heal and to function properly. Unknown what animals eat. I brought a steak. Something that was told to get when one was hurt. Steak. So, that's what was purchased.*

/small, cute ladies can be predators too

@〄 Jeon Jungkook Her injured limped body rested against the other as he picked her up and took her away from the scene. It'll be good for her. At least in this sense, she's not out here dying on the street. Bless this kind hearted soul who took pity over an injured animal. Thank goodness her quick thinking shifted her to this cat form. Nicole wasn't sure how long it was, but judging from the comfort of her shadow buddy, her body started to regenerate slowly as she felt safe enough in this stranger's home. The smaller wounds closes slowly and if one was to pay attention, they can see a light shadow hovering over those wounds.

@☠ Christian Yu ¥✔ It was late, possibly the early hours of the morning but Tsuki rarely paid attention to time. The only thing that told her when to go home was the drowsiness when she got too tired, and the pain in her feet from the impractical shoes that she thought looked so pretty.
Now was the time and as she stepped out of the building, she inhaled the cold night air and ran her hands through her hair, messing up the small braids in the front of her hair that some pleasant but pushy fairy had done for her. Then she bent down, unfastening her shoes and slipping them off and placing them into a bag slung lazily over her shoulder. She pulled her dark blue jacket closed, fastening the buckle of it's belt closed at her waist before checking her skirt hadn't got caught up in her jacket and smoothed it out.
Then she was more than happy to take herself home, turning down onto the alleyway humming a tune to herself as she walked down it, paying little attention to the lack of other people in the area.

(I just realised my posted this without tagging you)

@⥈ Ahn Hee-yeon ¥✔ My hand holds onto the tunnel's edge, and my chest heaves, attempting to restore the oxygen in my lungs. Dark clouds dance into the sky. Apart from the discarded trash bags from a nearby diner, there was no other presence in the hallway. A gust of wind roared through the narrow pathway, warning of an impending storm. Raindrops tapping the pavement soon formed small puddles creating beautiful ripples. I turned to you when you guested handling my tab. "Who says I wanted it taken care of?"

I push myself off the wall turning my attention fully to you. My tongue slightly runs over my tier, along with a light sniffle. Beautiful sapphire eyes distract me, momentarily derailing my former thought. "Besides, this way is more fun. Isn't it?" I smile in a seemingly innocent manner.

@♆ Choi Seunghyun Christian is hardly registering what the figure before him is on about, although he registers the spit to the ground, and the expression of distaste when the face is revealed. Unusual, the last time he'd seen this stranger, there was a lot more poise.. restraint even. Still, as the man stepped forward, the ghoul is quick to scurry a few feet back and bark obsessive commentary that this was his food, and he will eat it, and it was no one else's. All the while he's still chewing and trying to eat the bloody muscle, and groaning in response to the supposed question, which outright- looked completely ignored in favor of eating. Not only was the action in itself grotesque, but the noises sounded sensual in nature, that this wasn't just a need to feed, but something that went beyond it.

@დ Jung Nicole *time came and went as the sun was setting. In fact the sun did set. Walking down the streets, of this newly found place. That I would now have to call home, the images scaning its way into storage so i would know a route upon the next go round. Thinking, i walked down a street unfamilar and seeming hiw i wouldnget home. I follow the path. Clouds roaming abobe. Looking up, i calculated there would be a 75 percent chance of rain. I needed to get home, but walking past a building. My hearing senese kicked in when hearing a small thump, i stopped walking looking down the way the noise sounded. My orbs roamed and ii scanned the area, stopping when my senses caught hold of the smallness. Walking down the small walkway, following where i processed something laying on the ground. Computing what it was. My indicators said it was a cat and was badly wounded, * hello there cat. You are hurt. And i will take you home with me, *i sighed* who would do such a thing? *picks you up holding you closely to my body* lets go home,

@〄 Jeon Jungkook She didn't know why she choose to go this route. How did she even got her in the first place. All Nicole know was that she was not in the right place at the right time. Shifting was her only was to save herself before someone catches her and hurt her even more. Using what's left of her energy, Nicole shifted into a domesticated cat once she rounded the corner. With enough space put between the situation, she found herself getting light headed from the loss of blood. 'Oh no....' Her cat body collapse against the alley wall, barely hidden from sight as her body attempt to regenerate itself. She can't recall the last time how long it took her. She was on her own now.

@❦ Kim Hyo-jong ¥✔ Actually running away from a crime scene hit her with such nostalgia, the last time she'd done it she had been just a child with her siblings back on the Forgotten Islands, getting into trouble just for the sake of it. It didn't give her quite the same childish thrill as it had back then, but her heart was still racing and she still found herself laughing when they came to a stop under a bridge. With the rain starting to fall above them, it was probably one of the nicer moments she'd had since she'd come to Heleo. "You could have let me handle it." She said, amused but she was honestly okay with how this turned out. The color of her eyes darkened into a deep sapphire and seemed to glow with an inner light, and the rain began to pick up as the clouds grew darker above them. "A little incentive not to chase us further."

@⥈ Ahn Hee-yeon ¥✔ All I could hear was the sound of our fleeting footsteps tapping the cobblestone street as we ran under the dim lighting. Dodging and weaving through the crowd, I did my best to quarter my speed in fear of losing you amongst the locals. Or worst, accidentally dismembering your arm from your socket if I speed at max capacity. “Stop there, you damn thieves!” The owner shouted behind us in the distance. A smile ripples across my face, knowing from the beginning that the man had no chance of catching me. With a quick right turn her and two lefts down a few empty alleyways, I finally find a staff stops to seek temporary refuge. I take your hand, tugging you close to me, waiting a moment or two underneath a bridge underpass. My breath was steady, and a smile was staged on my face stalking a glance around the corner. The smell of rainwater tickles my nose when I notice small droplets of rain tapping against the concrete. A light small breeze courses through the tunnel of the overpass. Citizens began to take cover from the impending storm. “I think we’re all gone,” I say, still peeking around the corner.

@☠ Christian Yu ¥✔ [] let me know if this is all good ^_^

“Disgusting.” The word that resonates from the demon’s lips when he was welcomed by by the man gorging a heart. The rusty smell of crimson blood- a life has been taken away so quickly. “You’re disgusting.” Seunghyun spat on the ground when the ghoul looked over his direction. His lips curled up, nose scrunched as He pulled the hood back, revealing the face of the doctor who the creature encountered in the winter solstice celebration. The demon took a step forward towards the man, unshaken. A side-grin slowly forming on his face, staring at the latter. “Not bad. Though I hope that’s someone with a promising future.. Perhaps a young lad or lassie. So…” There was a paused when he glanced at his face. The demon chuckled in mockery “I’m here to collect.” His hand gripping the dagger he carries around. “A 100 years of service or lose a limb or two?”

@დ Kim Youngkyun ¥✔ How... peculiar. This man was seemingly expecting the end of his blade. Well... not expecting it, per say - more like it seemed like he was anticipating it. Craving it, almost. In Vagabond's history of going after all sorts of people for all sorts of reasons, never has he ever came across someone so eager for the kiss of death that they would willingly surrender themselves to him. Most of his targets spent their last moments absolutely terrified of him and of what ultimately made them meet their end. The other half of his targets pleaded with him to spare them with false promises of change and development. But this one, though... this one seemed much too exhausted with the life he was stuck living and wanted a way out.

The marvelous heat under his palm was radiating from Youngkyun. He could feel it through his gloves, which were supposed to be heat resistant. The assassin instantly recognized this smoldering heat as the lingering flames of a phoenix. A firebird, bound to the fate of rising from its own ashes to start anew instead of entering whatever heaven they believed in. Some people craved the "blessing" of immortality. Others knew the damage that it could cause, how lonely and miserable it could be. Vagabond was a merely a mortal and his life was being monitored on a clock that could stop ticking at any given second. Youngkyun, however, didn't have that and it looked as if he had finally grown tired of never being able to be at peace.

How... peculiar.

The assassin retracted his weapon slowly and releases his hold, letting the other drop to the pavement in a heap at his feet. Vagabond stared down at him, the mask preventing Youngkyun from seeing any features or any sort of reaction he had. Mysterious and silent. Then, after a few beats, he turns around and he starts walking down the alleyway. He didn't kill Youngkyun. In fact he had sheathed his weapon before making his leave. His fingers flex outwards as he called upon the Shadows that lingered around them, beckoning them to consume him. All of the darkness that lingered in the alleyway suddenly began moving towards the mage like a magnet, wrapping his entire figure in his endless abyss and then - gone. He was gone. Vagabond, having used his Shadow magic to teleport elsewhere, had refused to finish the job and instead let his target go free. He let Youngkyun live.

@♆ Choi Seunghyun Christian is running, well maybe not /running/ but he's fast walking as inconspicuously as possible. Another job attempt failure, he'd managed to 'take' a warm meal from one of the Boar Inn's sleeping patrons. He's hungry, the insatiable appetite to feed on the living reached a breaking point from practical, logical thinking, but oddly- his body did not cave to natural form. A relief, he thought to himself, as a wild 8 ft tall shrieking creature wasn't exactly his idea of staying under the radar. Having never consciously committed a crime before, the crime scene is a sloppy one, leaving the door to the patrons room locked, but otherwise untouched minus the limp corpse in the bed with an empty chest cavity on one of its most vital organs. Taking an immediate turn down the alleyway, Christian struggles not to hum, and drool like a starving animal as the hot, wet item in hand dripped bodily fluid down the forearm all while trying to keep it hidden from the public eye. Able to barely restrain himself, he's only about 6 feet into the alley when obsessive need caves and the gushing heart in hand is retrieved and dug into mouth first. The wet squelching as jagged teeth dig into the hearty muscle is enough to make the stomach churn, it's a tough meat, having to chew, and chew and chew. Christian is groaning, and to himself, it's so delicious. So much so, that the eyes almost roll into the back of the head from the onset of a euphoric high when a bellowing voice interrupts. There's a low growl as the white eye glances over the corresponding shoulder. But that's all he did, was look, and growl, unable to completely tear away from his meal, no- he must eat it.

@☠ Christian Yu ¥✔ "Come on, kitty kitty." Seunghyun whispered into the air as he walked along the alleyway wearing a hooded cloak that covers most of his features. The winter solstice slipped through quickly like a handful sand. However before the slave trade ended, someone strike a deal. A good one for him but an unfortunate situation for the other. He passed on a couple , with their bodies connected in a tango. Seunghyun chuckled seeing the woman glanced his way. It was tempting but not at the moment. Deep within the belly of darkness, he turned to a corner inhaling the cold breeze, not to breathe, but to pick up a scent. A shadow or even a sign of his new prey. He remembered the pathetic look he admires and the sound of helpless creature begging for a rescue. Surely, the vampire doctor is fun to toy with and the demon gained a lot of strength. Consuming one's morals and turning them to a devious vessel is his masterpiece. An eye for an eye. A spiteful spirit lingering to kill every ounce of love in someone's heart. The demon made the doctor defied the woman he called sister and tortured the poor wolf, leaving him in a hopeless situation. Wearing this face, sure made few heads turn and brows to raise. He cracked his knuckles, giving an eerie aura to anyone who sees him. "Christian...." He bellowed and his voice echoed. The dark clouds covering the moonlight. Pitch black, he stopped. "You know what time it is."

@❦ Kim Hyo-jong ¥✔ She wasn't surprised that it took him a moment to decide if he believed her or not, she honestly didn't really care if he did or didn't. It wouldn't change the facts or their reality. She was never going back to the Forgotten Islands, and if her kind died out then they were all the better for it. But she knew that wasn't going to happen, the merfolk were just secretive. They'd gone into hiding to avoid the same fate as the dragons, balancing on the knifes edge of extinction. When the door to the bar opened and the irate barkeep stepped out she had half a mind to tell him to shut up but she didn't get the chance to. Her hand was grabbed before she could respond and she ran after you, laughing with a combination of shock and amusement as she followed your shouted command. She didn't know where they were going, and she didn't care. Anywhere beat that stifling bar.

@♅ Go Yoon Jung They tried to taunt me every time we're in the same place.
*Sighs and looked at you*
Why do you keep on following me, angel?

@⥈ Ahn Hee-yeon ¥ I stare at you, searching for even the slightest flicker of falsehood. My fragmented gaze finally lifts when I've deemed your cross-examination passable. "Okay, Princess," I stressed the word, unsure how much to believe about your royal status given your current enslavement. Then again, I, too, am- I was a Kitsune prince of the Thunder tribe, and here I am in a similar boat. "I believe you…." Say, finally backing off and sliding my hand in my pockets. "I have no choice. It's not so common to meet your kind these days." Inhale a long breath, thinking over all the previous knowledge I'd acquired in my early schooling. "People were starting to think you're kind had gone extinct. Listen, I'm um, I-" Just as I was about to speak, I turned to hear an irate voice come through the door. "Hey! You, Kitsune!" I turned to the barkeep, mildly perplexed. "Who do you think you are paying me in fool's gold? You got a 100 gold tab. You better pay up right now!" I took a step back, looking over at you, then grabbed your hand. "Hani?" I spoke lowly to you. "RUN!" I shouted, turning on my heels down the alleyway and sporting a gleeful smile disappearing into the night with you in hand.
