Drain Away [[Shane Knight]]

[knightmare13]

Shane went over to her and leaned over her, "Here, it's kind of simple once you get used to it." I said, "Here, press this and then this and then hit send." I told her. "But don't worry, Mr. Cho has a good memory and a good security system. I'm sure they'll catch him."

I looked over to the west and saw the sun going down. "Hey, how far are you from your home?" I asked, "I could walk you home." I added.

[Hildegard Merquise]

"Well thats good." Hilde said with a smile as she reached into the bag and grabbed her sandwich, letting the bag handles rest on her wrist, while she unwrapped it. Taking half of it, she'd take a bite and smile. Her blue red eyes looking up at the sky, watching the colours as the sun slowly set.

He'd offer to walk her home, how nice."Thank-you! That sounds nice. thanks." She'd smile at him again, before looking forward and continuing to eat her sandwich."It's not too far from where I ran into you." Hilde chuckled a little.

"Thanks for helping me today!"

She was interrupted by her cellphones ringtone. Pulling the phone out of her pocket with her free hand and replying to the message, she'd look over at Shane. "Do you have a cell phone?" Tilting her head to the side, she'd look at him for a moment. Feeling a little bad for randomly asking. SHE WANTED A FRIEND!

Pushy much?

[knightmare13]

I took hers from out of her hand and dialed my number into it and saved it to her memory. "Here, call me later." I told her with a smirk and turned to leave waving behind me. 'Now to go get ready.' I thought leaving.

'ten minutes from now.'

I take out my cell phone and look at the picture that I got off of Hilde's phone, when I took her phone to put in my number I first sent the picture she sent to her father to me to keep as a reference while on the street tonight. 'A mug like that shouldn't be too hard to find.' I said to myself putting on my black hoodie over my black bullet proof shirt. I put on my mask last to take one last look at who I am before leaving....It's Knightmare's turn.

NOW

I had been running all through the city looking for whatever I can find to put an end to. There's this place I've noticed lately called Darry's pub, alot of people go in and out of there. All of them I can already tell are members or just starting out as a criminal. 'Should be here.' I thought.

Sure enough stepping out with a few others is the same punk from the store. 'Got'cha.' Time to play.

"So I told the chinky bastard that he was gonna straight give me the money and that was it." The thief said loudly walking in the alley. His friends were laughing their asses off as he told about todays incident.
"then what?" one of the stragglers asked in behind of the group.
"Then he got taken to the police." I said in my deep harsh whisper he turned then was sent flying to the side after screaming. The others turn; some tense up, some freeze, I don't care about them. He's the one I'm focused on, and I let him know that.

One decided to stop waiting and tries to rush me; side stepped and broke his shin, another came and tried to punch me; he'll remember me whenever it rains. The next one was better, came in with multiple strikes but he attacks in a rythm; too bad for him. I grab his arm for a strike and use my elbow to grind against his, joints out of place he'll feel it for a while....Someone's missing.
"HELP ME!!!!" Damn. He took off running down the alley.

[Hildegard Merquise]

She was walked home by Shane, a new..friend? Smiling a little, the girl would go up to her apartment, to finish her snacks. She'd sit at her computer smiling away, while enjoying an episode of an anime. It was night time, her house was silent, her father was still at work... Leaving the girl alone. It wasn't long before boredom set in and Hilde surrendered to it. Leaving the house once again, she'd retrace her steps for a while and then take a back alley or two. Weaving between main streets and dark back streets. It's not that she wanted adventure, she wasn't looking for anything, it was just a walk and she was going where ever.

Slowly getting lost with every turn.

"Hey there cutie, what are you going out so late?"[/color]

She couldn't hear him or see him, music and silly folk who choose to sneak up on people. Continuing at her slow pace, was fun. Although it allowed the stranger to sneak up on her. For being a police man's daughter, she wasn't very bad ass. Her eyes widened as she felt a hand on her side, someone pulling her closer to them. Looking to her left she saw a stranger. A smirk upon his face as he pulled her headphones off.

"Ashame...you didn't hear me being nice. That was your only chance there."[/color] His hand reached into his pocket for his knife.

He looked too happy, it was just cruel. Maybe it was the world's way of telling her to tune down her confidence. It's not that she was confident, its that Hilde believed people were good and didn't attack for no reason.

"Give me all your money sweetie."[/color]

"I didn't bring my wallet."

"Well, I guess I'll have no choice." He laughed a little before pushing her in the direction of the brick wall. She'd hit it and fall to the ground, looking up at the man with a calm expression. Which annoyed him to no end. Closing the distance, he'd grabbing her wrist he'd pull her up to her feet once more. "How the hell are you so calm?" he was losing his cool. He'd punch the girl in the face and she'd stumble backwards. her back against the wall.

Fury in the man's eyes as he looked at the red haired young woman, he didn't exactly know what to make of her. Fearless or very stupid. It was time to use the knife, no fear of bloodying his hands when it comes to someone so infuriating. She could tell she was hurting the man's pride, the way he looked at her. It was scary..Really scary. Regardless or not what father had said, she couldn't keep it up much longer.

"HELP ME!!!!!" She'd cry out, really loud hoping someone would have heard her.

A hand grabbed her neck and the man looked at her, smirking away. The cold feel of metal against her neck sent shivers down her back as she lost her cool. Fear showed on her face finally and her legs trembled. She could only pray someone had heard her cry for help.

"Not so brave are you?" He laughed.

This looks fun...

[knightmare13]

The punk kept running down the alley and screaming for help; does he really think that will help. 'This is too...'

"HELP ME!!!!!"

I stop for a second, 'Is that?' It was Hilde! That was my voice now not Knightmare's. I took off in the direction of where I heard the scream. "Where..." I whispered.

"Not so brave are you?" This was a male's voice and I can already tell that it's because of her. I turn the corner and run to the guy, 'He's holding a knife.' I thought,
'Too easy.' Knightmare thought ruhing in and as he was said, "She's got a reason not to worry now." Knightmare said; his voice deep and gravely; still working on the voice. The punk turns and sees me but he's too late. I struck him in his face to open him up then followed to do a chin-na lock which ended with him getting a broken wrist and torn ligaments.

I then proceded to strike him multiple times afterwards on his face and body. I stop and turn my head to the side to look at Hilde, "Are you okay?" I asked in Knightmare's voice again.

[Hildegard Merquise]

It was scary, the sharp cold feel of the steel blade too her neck and the warm drip that followed. He had barely pierced the skin, but she bleed and stung a little. But out of no where, the attacker himself had been attacked. Letting go of her, the man fell into the hands of the masked man. Legs too shaky to keep her stranding, gave out and sent the red haired girl to the ground. Afraid and a little confused.. Hilde wasn't sure to make of it. Bringing her hand up to her neck, the girl would wipe away the little bit of blood and had been dripping down.

"Are you okay?"

A strange voice, although the person was probably speaking in a way that would keep his identity a secret. After all, no one wants to be found out, right? Looking up at hero man, her red blue eyes would scan the person. Committing his very appearance to memory. Why? Saphir had found something interesting in the masked man.

"Th-th-thank-you sir!Who are you?"[/b][/color]

Hilde was confused as to why she asked such a thing, it was very out of character. Whilst Saphir remained silent.. Expecting a cheese response. He was a wannabe hero, right? It would be interesting, but none the less. Saphir found something to occupy her time with.

Ohhh, this looks like a fun toy...

[knightmare13]

Why do they always ask what the name is? I asked myself as she looked up at me. It threw me off when she asked me who I was. Not because she asked it but because her tone seemed to change when she did.

I never planned on telling people Knightmare's name but what the hell. "I'm Knightmare." I said in my Knightmare voice which probably needs some work. I went closer to her with my hand outstretched, "Can you stand?" I didn't want to sound nice but I still have a soul I'd give a little help, at least back to the street.

[Hildegard Merquise]

Knightmare, eh? How deliciously wonderful~<3

HIs voice was a little odd, there was no doubt about it. But she could understand why. Smiling up at the stranger, she'd try to keep her cool. Nodding at him, the girl would take him hand and accept his help up. Once on her feet, the girl would look around. It was strange to have been helped again. Twice in one day. It was probably a little strange to be smiling in such a way at a stranger in a mask. OH WELL.

"Thank-you so very much Knightmare. Thank-you.."[/b][/color] She smiled still, walking towards the alley's exit.

There was one thing for sure, she'd stick to the main roads at night... Or would shhheeeeeee? Saphir help interest in th estranger. Perhaps in a way a evil scientist finds interest in their prey. The lust to cut him open and play with his internal organs was rising. But to do so so early was far too dull.... It would have to wait.

[knightmare13]

I decided to get out of there quickly, it was too big a risk to stay there and wait to watch her. Besides that punk is still out there. I jumped up to a ladder of a fire escape overhead which gave me a quick exit. 'God I love the city.' I thought as I made it effortlessly to the roof and made my way out of there.
'He couldn't have gone far' Knightmare thought...It's too early to refer to knightmare as a standalone personality.

Ten mintues later I found him. He was in some alley for some reason. He was breathing hard and sweating like he just escaped from hell. "Damn...." He said.
"You know what I hate about you punks?" He jumped as he turned to see me, "You always make me run." I said,
"Please man, I didn't-"
"Shut up!" I said quickly. He's shaking now. "I've already made the call, they got your face." I said,
"Please I just-"
"Who said you can talk!?" Tears, that's a new one. "I ever find you again...Trust me." He says nothing.

Five minutes later the cops come, the punks roped and bruised. I'll make sure he doesn't see me again.
