Loud steps could be heard running across the pavement, the moon was barely visible- and the streets were dark. Most of the lamp post lights were out; some flickered- making a loud buzzing sound. Bang. Another gunshot was fired. Missed She sighed heavily.
Ruby kept running from a male figure, randomly shooting back at him but missing at the same time. She quickly glanced around, what could she use around her to slow him down? Her red eyes scanning the street, she needed to find some place to hide or he was going to kill her this time. She stopped for a second and swung her hand down at her side and lifted a nearby car and just threw it wildly behind her. Her arms burned as her markings started to become visible.
He jumped out of the way and shot at her, and then she turned starting to run down an alley way to her left. Perfect she thought at first.
The man proceeded to chase after her down the long dark alley way. She noticed quickly that she was running towards a dead end Damn she huffed and slid to a stop. She wildly looked around trying to find a way to get away from him. The tall buildings blocked out what little light that moon had provided for her. Is this where it all ends The girl with the blood red eyes thought as she looked around again trying to catch her breath.
((OOC: Looking for someone to join. Not really sure where this is going but hopefully somewhere good. :-). I prefer that you don’t play the guy chasing her; I’ve got plans for him. Um…just use your imagination for this one. Ruby is 16, she’s an odd creature and has been since she was born. That’s all I’m going to tell you about her.))

Slowly a young looking man walks down the street, he keeps scanning the empty streets just because not really looking for anything. I hate being bored. He randomly calls out to the darkness. Since he was unable to sleep he decided to just take a late night walk. As he walks down the street, he hears gun shots relatively close by.He trys to figure out which way and immediately takes of running. As he rounds a corner he watches as a car lands on its roof. He hesitates just long enough to look around and watches as a woman runs down an ally followed closely by a man holding a gun shooting at her. Again he takes of running, his eyes starting to glow as his anger rises.

Ruby tired to fire off another shot but the gun just clicked Shit, she tossed the gun off to the side. She had no more mags for it so there was no more use for it. She came to a stop at the end of the alley, she looked over her shoulder to see how much time she had. Not enough she said softly and then turned back to the wall in front of her. She did have enough stamina to pull a trick but he was still too close to her and would have a chance to get proof of her. She sighed heavily, the next step would be to take him on. It was about time this guy just stay out of her life...permanently. Now is not the time, but soon my pet very soon an echo of a voice resounded in her head. Urge and you couldn't have told me this five seconds ago Ruby hissed under her breath fine she turned to the east wall of the alleyway. If she couldn't kill him now then the only other option would to be to pull a trick.

He rounds the corner and starts to sprint until he realizes that it's a dead end. Slowing down he watched as the man cut her off from the only apparent exit. I think its time you left her alone. He calls down the ally way, in a strangely calm voice. Slowing down a bit more but still keeping a decent pace, he moves closer to them. Slowly his finger nails start to lengthen while his eyes are glowing almost pure white. Or else this will end very badly.

She clenched her muscles waiting for another gun shot to go off but it never came, instead she heard an unfamiliar voice. Her brows knitted together but didn't dare look back toward the entrance of the alleyway. She was trying to concentrate on pulling this trick cause if she got it wrong in the slightest it would be catastrophe. But now since the hunter was most likely distracted by the new comer she could get away with this. Though Ruby's curiosity got the better of her and she had to sneak a look to see if the hunter was distracted. When that was confirmed she turned back to the wall and placed her hand just an inch from the brick. A bright red light began to shine from under her shirt, no doubt her tribal markings becoming more prominent. When the light dulled down she placed a foot at the bottom of the brick wall where it met the ground and just started walking up it like the wall was a sidewalk. Soon though she picked up her pace, she had to get away from that hunter and quick.

As he gets even closer, he watches as the man looks back at him. "Yes I mean you. Leave her be." He says. He stops about five to ten feet from him. He looks past him at the woman and is instantly confused for a moment as she starts to walk up the wall in front of her. "Huh?" He exclaims. He shakes his head and turns back to the man. "I think its time you left." He glares hard at the man and raises a had pointing his long nails at him as he talks.

The hunter turns back to find his target and its gone, he kicks at a few of the trash bags laying next to a dumpster and then turns his sights on the new person "Damn you! It's taken me months to find her again, you have no idea what you just did" he snapped at the guy but had to get moving. Maybe she was still in the area and he could cut her off again. "You are lucky that I'm on a deadline" the hunter hissed and then bolted out of the alley.
Ruby stared down at the two guys from the top of the building, listening to them. She had to resist the urge to laugh at the hunter so she clamped her hand around her mouth and when the hunter bolted from the alleyway Ruby breathed a sigh of relief. That was a close one quietly announced cause she knew that he was there next time don't let him catch you she turned sharply to him you're saying this is my fault- I can't believe what I am hearing. I would have to say you're the one that's been setting me up she yelled at him. He was always doing this, messing with her and testing her. She had been working for him for 6 years now and yet he still tested her. But at that he just crossed his arms at smiled at her What now? She questioned.

He watches as the man moves past him and disappears out the ally. Then he turns back to the wall and looks at his fingers. "Hhmmmm, that works." He laughs as he starts to climb up the wall his nails leaving long claw marks in the side of the building. It takes him a few minutes but he gets to the top and jumps onto the roof. He looks at his fingers again and concentrates for a moment as the nails shorten to their normal length again. He then looks up searching for the woman again. He gets a confused look when he finds the woman with a man. "Uumm Hi. Sssooo, what was that all about?" He watches her as he says this his eyes still glowing slightly. He looks quizically at her again noticing a red glow coming from her.

He opens his mouth to answer her but then holds back as his eyes land on another being. Ruby quickly opens her mouth and about screams at him, she hated it when he did this to her. Kept things from her or pushed her to her limits. Well... she prompted him while she tapped her foot on the ground waiting for him to answer her. Then he cleared his throat and nodded his head for her to look behind her. Ruby turned around slowly and saw another figure standing a few feet from her and it hit her. That's why the Reaper wasn't talking and when she turned back to look at him, he had already disappeared. Hi she said softly as she wondered how he got up there and not to mention the fact of who he was. Can I help you?

He laughs, then again looks confused again. Hey where did he go? He was just there. He again shook his head and grinned. Well, no. You cant help me, at least I dont know of a way you can. Yeah, ok. Anyway, I thought i was trying to help you. With... Your friend. He laughs again at that nodding towards the ally below. He looks past her again for the man but when he doesn't find him he dismisses it. His eyes start to loose their glow As he talks to her. And as far as who I am....... Well, that is nothing important. He looks down while saying that, and starts to fidgets.

Ruby cocked her head to the side as she had many times before, it was just a simple task to confuse someone when they saw things she didn't want them to. "Who?" She questioned softly and took a step forward but abruptly stopped "Help me?" She questioned again and then broke out laughing to the point where there were tears streaming down her face. "If only that were the case I would gladly take the help" she finally responded after taking a big breath of air. Who said I wanted to know your name?! She snapped at him as her mood quickly change as it usually did. There was a lot that could set her off or it could put her in a good mood. That was one of the problems with Ruby, she had really bad mood swings most of the time. And even if I did need help what makes you think that you should be the hero? She questioned with a low growl as her eyes studied his every feature.

He takes a half step back, him head coming back up to face her quickly. Oh, sorry. Most people ask that, so... I... I thought you were going to ask. And I wasn't trying to be a hero. I just like to help people, thats all. He takes another half step back. The glow from his eyes completely gone now. He watches her with a worried look on his face. If you didn't want any help then I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you angry.

She squinted her eyes at him, great just what she needed. A little boy that wanted to help...if only he knew how much help she needed then it could work. Alright well if that's the case then I must be going...got lots of work to do not to mention the fact that Jasper was nagging her inside her mind since the moment he left and it was starting to give her a headache. She just wanted to go home to her crappy little apartment and pass out on the couch. She looked back at the guy and wasn't really sure what to say cause this guy just appeared out of now where. well see ya around[/i] Ruby turned and sprinted towards the closes building and jumped the gap between them. Something she had done a million times just cause it made her feel like she was flying and off she went towards her home as fast as she could before Jasper gave her another target.

He stares at her retreating back looking confused and suddenly bursts out laughing. Ok, now i am intrigued. He takes of quickly and mumbles under his breath trying to get the darkness to cover him, but ending up getting ignored again by them. He curses softly and starts to follow her. Hey! Wait a minute! Who was that guy? You never answered me! He does his best to try and catch up to her due to the fact she had a good head start on him.

The rush of the wind and the adrenaline of jumping buildings with the possibility of hitting the ground. Ruby's mind wandered onto getting some rest when she got home plus the gobs cleaning she needed to do. In mid jump she hears the voice again making her falter in the air and barely making it to the other building. Her breath is rough as she looks behind her and see the guy following her. 'Great' she says to herself. That was all she needed, some stranger finding out where she lived. What are you going on about? She snapped at him cause she really didn't want to deal with some guy when she could be getting sleep before Jasper sent her on another hit.
