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.))

A soft laughter were heard over her head, the laught coming from a young boy around sixteen sitting vertically on the wall like it were the most naturall thing in the world looking down on her with a huge grin on his face. He were dressed only in black shorts and most of his body were covered in tribal looking black tatooes that pulsated with a strange blue energy. His eyes curious and gleaming with michief were yellow like that of animals that lurks on their prey. With another soft laught he let go of the wall landing on the ground and strolled nonchalantly up to her with the huge grin still playing on his face. " Me thinks thou art in some distress being cornered like that." he said his words sounding old and dusty like he had'nt spoken human languages for quite a long time allthought his voice were clear and seemed to flow throught the air allmost like music. " But it seems that lady luck have favoured thou tonight." With a wink towards her he turned around and crouched down on the ground placing his right hand on it. The blue energy in his tattoes flowed out throught his hand and started spreading out in front of him raising up against the walls until a large pulsating wall stood in front of him. Putting his finger to his lip he looked up at her and pointed towards the wall where a figure were getting closer looking around suprised, it seemed that the man thought there were nothing out of the ordinary with the wall in front of him as he searched around for his prey. After some fruitless searching he turned around and started to walk away down the alley and as his steps grew dimmer and finally dissapeared the kid lifted his hand from the ground and the wall in front of him faded away. " Well that was fun would'nt thou agree?" he said standing up smiling broadly.

Ruby looked up trying to find the source of the laughter and saw someone sitting up on the wall. She wondered what he trick was but she couldn't think about that right now. She listened for the foot steps of the guy then someone jumped down next to her. She took a deep breath and just stared at the guy "I can handle it" she hissed at him. But she really didn't have anything. She watched the guy and stayed quiet like he said.
The footsteps got further away and her heart rate slowed back to normal. She had to hand it to the guy, she never would have thought about that. "Thanks are in order I guess" that was the best the guy would get from her. Ruby never asked for help nor did she help anyone. It was one for all that was it. "I would have thought of something sooner or later but eh" she said and walked over to one of the alleyway walls. She placed her hand on it and her markings started to glow a bright red under her clothes and then she hopped up on the wall walking up the wall like it was a sidewalk. She didn't say anything else, no good byes or see you around.

The smile on his face dissapeared replaced by a confused look as the glowing energy in his tattoes faded away and blinking he looked around not listening to what she said. "Now where the heck did he bring me this time? He could at least get me home before going to sleep" he muttered speaking with a different more normal sounding voice. Scratching his head he noticed the girl and smiled faintly. "Oh hello, are you a friend of Trickster?"
Looking down the dark alley he seemed more like a lost and worried kid than that confident and lighthearted person he had been before in fact it were like he was another person alltogether. Turning back to the girl he looked down on his feet. "Uumm.. I'm Nathan, do you know where we are?he said in a low voice." "

Ruby looked down at the guy wondering what he was babbling about, as much as it wasn't her problem the kid looked really lost. Don't bother with the kid Ruby, get moving. Your next target is close a voice resonated in her head. She shook her head, she hated her reaper. Always telling her what to do and when to do it "come on the kid looks lost and a bit weird but still..." she tried to reason Do I have to come there and make you do what I want "no not again" she said and just jumped down from the wall.
"Hey kid. You lost or something" she said squinting her eyes at him. What was this kids game? One moment he's all hot shit the next he looks like a little twerp. "You're in an alley Nathan. You don't remember what you did for me?" She asked curiously.

Nathan shrugged feeling the cold nightair on his skin, it were all well and good that the cold did'nt bother Trickster but he would wish his "wild side" would be a little more considerate to him. Listening to what she said he nodded biting his lip as not to cry knowing that Trickster would love to make fun of him because of that.
"Umm..I did'nt do anything it was Trickster." He's sort of my big brother." he said walking over to the wall. Focusing he put his hand on the wall willing the tattoes to lit up again with the glowing energy allthought it were much fainter than before. Trickster had allways been the best of them to handle the blue flame but then again he had much more training than Nathan. Carefully he put his foot on the wall and walked up a bit unsteady and stopped for a moment turning around as something came to mind. "You can do this to right? I thought only me and Trickster were able to controll the energies that binds matter."

Ruby's eyes brows knitted together. Was this the same guy that had saved her or was it a different person. I told you not to bother with him she shook her head and turned to the kid. She watched him walk over to the wall and do the same trick that she had but unstable. "What the hell is going on?" She said to herself and just walked over to the same wall and hoped on it like she had before. "Something like that" she said and walked up the wall "Though I doubt that we are the same" she said walking past him "Well I'll leave you and Trickster to your work" she said making it to the to of the building and sat on the side of it looking down at the guy Get moving she heard a voice but this time it came from behind her. She got to her feet and saw her reaper standing behind her. I'm here to make sure you do your job and don't give me that look he sneered at her This is her Reaper

Watching her walk up Nathan started to feel a bit annoyed, first Trickster had dragged him out gods no where in the middle of the night and woke him up and then he met that strange girl who could do the same things as them. Muttering to himself he sat down on the wall crossing his arms there were noway that he would take another step untill Trickster came out again. "You better fix this." he muttered sourly.
For a moment he just sat there and then tattoes litted up again and the grin returned to his face. "Ask and thou shalt receive, besides "little brother" i just wanted you to meet my new playmate." he said with a laught. Standing up he walked up the wall just as steadily as walking on the ground whistling on a merry tune. It were a fine night to play he thought reaching the top of the building balancing on the edge with an air of confidence around him. Seeing the reaper thought allmost made him lose his balance and for a moment his face reflected suprise and recognition but he pulled himself together grinning broadly. "Ah is that so. I never thought that i would have the pleasure of meeting your kind again. But that sure explains a lot about our new friend" he said making a small bow towards the reaper. "Well no matter i hope thou wouldst mind thought but i decided thy protigee could be fun to play with so i will just tag along for the fun." He said his eyes glittering with michief.

"Alright where's this target" she said, she hated killing people but if she didn't then he would take her back to the underworld and that was one place she didn't want to go back to. "He'll be wearing a black hat that has a white symbol on it and a green jacket on. He's about 5'9, he'll be standing outside the movie theater around the corner" she rolled her eyes and started to walk away "Can't you at least pick on easy target tonight, I've had kind of a rough night" she said then turned around when she heard another voice. "Sorry kid. No spectators" he said and placed a hand on Ruby's shoulder to lead her away "besides kid you have no idea what she does" he said.
Ruby looked up at her reaper and had so many questions "I thought unless you've died or tried to die that you didn't know about your kind" she question placing her hands on her hips and brushing away his hand "I told you to leave the kid along. Now get your ass moving or I'll do it for you" she hissed at him and took off. The reaper turn to the kid "Now look here. You stay away from her, i don't need her head getting all clouded. She's already slipping on her job" and then he vanished.

The grin on his face faded for a moment as she asked the question about only people that had died or tried to die knowing about reapers. It brought back a thought he had not been thinking in a long time, that even if he had managed to escape the fate of most mortals by hiding in those of his blood he knew that sooner or later he too would have to surrender to them someday. Making a face towards the place where the reaper had vanished he brighted up feeling like his carefree self again. Besides right now they could'nt touch him if they tried so if he felt as playing with that girl they could'nt really stop him.
"Oh i'll get her head clouded." he muttered with a grin. "Heck i might even tell her the way to escape." Laughting at this he set off after her catching up to her after a while. As he slowed down beside her he flashed a smile and a wink before speaking. "Reapers, talk about slavedrivers eh? No worries just carry on with thy mission and i'll have thy back if needed."

Rudy picked a good place to hide focusing on her target and she was about to kill him when she was startled. She had to remember to breath as she looked over her shoulder "You are stupid" she scolded him and turned around. Her target was gone "Thanks, you made me lose him" she hissed under her breath. She got to her feet "What are you doing here anyways? You're going to get me in trouble" she said now walking away. She would have to get her target when he walked out of the theater. Now she would have to find something to do for the next two hours. "Now what to do?" She tapped her finger on her chin trying to figure out what to do.

Putting his hands behind his back he grinned broadly. "Aww, and here i thought we could be friends." he said walking along after her. She were a curious one, snappy, ungratefull and in some need of a personality adjustment but she had seemed a bit worried about Nathan so she could'nt be that bad, besides he were pretty sure being around her could promise some fun for both of them.
"Thou would'nst have to worry about getting in trouble if thou were free from them." he said bending over and starting walking on his hands effortlesly. "We could tell you how to get out of their service without having to go back, thou knowst down there." he said calmly, even standing upside down like that he had a serious look on his face that he ordinary did'nt have, it were after a serious thing to promise that could affect both him and Nathan badly if he was'nt carefull.

She stopped in her tracks and turned to him. "What are you talking about?" How could there be more out there that knew of the reaper that she was tied to and how to get away. She thought it was a life contract but some how this kid knew more then she did. "Reapers make lifetime contracts. There's no getting out of it unless they are through with you" this kid was proving to be one giant headache and would probably become more then a headache soon if Reaper foudn out that she was slacking on the job again and she definatly didn't want the consequences for that anymore. She took a deep breath "I'm also still confused about the whole Trickster and Nathan thing"

Trickster grinned broadly and flipped back getting to his feet. "Ah thou wish to know exactly what we are, that is a simple thing. "One body" he held up a finger, "two souls." holding up a finger on his other hand he brought them togerher. "Bound together safely from the reapers reach because of a small loophole in the grand rules of life and death. That's the way to stay out of their way. What thou need is.." He paused and looked at her with a tired look on his face. "No.. not yet, we have to know thou better before revealing the other way." He sighted shaking his head slightly, Nathan were the last of his kind, the last one he could bond with and revealing the way out he had a feeling she would take it without any regards to Nathans safety. He had to be sure before risking the life of his flesh and blood.
