The man narrowed his gaze"We'll see." He took out his pistol and fired a bullet towards her head.Two fingers moved under the man's chin. His eyes widened with a gasp as is saw Eva standing face to face with him."How did yo-" "Now, now," Eva said."You don't have a clue of what you've gotten yourself into." Eva chuckled with an alluring smile, her gaze peircing into his eyes. Snapping out of it, he threw a punch, only for his fist to be caught by her. "That is awfully rude of you," Eva said and snapped the man's wrist with one squeeze of her hand. The man fell to his knees, grinding his teeth in pain; still glaring up at her"This is painful I presume?" She tilted her head, her eyes narrowed. She tightened her grip, forcing him to cry out in pain. After a moment, his eyes opened, still with a challenging glare."Go to hell," he said with a painful tone in his voice. "Oh?" Eva, titled her head, and pulled the man to the ground on his back and placed her boot on his throat, caus
In the middle of the city within the one building. Alecia, Aven, and Leah walked in the wide passage. With Aven, keeping Alecia, close to himself. "It's getting dark." Alecia said. "I don't like it." "I can help with that." Aven, said. "No." Leah, said. "Allow me." A blue flame ignites within her hand. The darkness flees as the flame lights up the room.The floor is now more visible, which is covered ash. Dulling the color of the wood. On each side of the passage, long wooden chairs stand with cream colored cushions knitted in them. After all this time, the chairs remained.Alecia stared at the calm blue flame sitting on Leah's palm of her hand, her eyes reflecting its light, as her pupils slowly constricted. "So pretty..." she said, edging her index finger towards it. "Here you go," Aven said interrupting her and walked her to the one chair. "Sit here for a bit okay."Nodding slowly, she looked at the musical box in her hands. Aven could not help but watch her with a compa
After a moment of looking down at her, he let out a sigh."What do you mean?" He asked.Alecia looked at both palms of her with a growing guilt building up on her face. She closed them, and crossed her arms as if she tried to hide her hands. Letting out a sigh, she opened her eyes to look at Aven, and Leah."It doesn't matter," she said with a calm tone and stood up. Her gaze still fixed at the floor. "Sorry you had to see that." She said, averting her eyes. "It's not an issue," Aven said looking at Leah, beside him and turnd to Alecia."Tell me." Which urged her to look at him."Do you know your name?" He narrowed his gaze, bracing for an answer. Looking at the two of them, she fixed her gaze on Aven."They call me Alecia.""And so you don't call yourself that?" Aven said with an intrigued look."I do." She narrowed her eyes at him."Who's Virgil?" Aven asked crossing his arms. "He's my..." Alecia averted her eyes in thought. "What did-?" She looked at him with a puzzled gaze.
Near the outer part of the city. Some of the groups are accompanied by children, that range from seven to thirteen years of age. Little do they know, the curious eyes of Eva watched over them from the roof of a building nearby. A water tower stood behind her.Eva sat on the edge of the roof while leaning against the leg of the water tower. Training her eyes across the place, she watched each group she decided to look at.Eva noticed a small girl with short brunette hair running across block. She ran past a few people until she stopped at the one woman. The woman stood up from her seat to meet the girl. The girl said something to the woman which Eva could not hear. Her lips twisted into a slight smile. It soon faded when she heard a loud argument nearby. Turning her gaze to the source, she saw another group of people standing in the middle of the area. The one man is seen arguing with another about something she can't quite hear as well.Eva narrowed her gaze with a frown when heari
Alecia, and Leah continued to follow Aven down the street. None of them have said a word to each other for a while since they've been walking. "So...?" Alecia said breaking the silence."Where are we going?""I spotted a few of those scavengers on this road," Aven stopped and stood near a four-way road. The traffic traffic light that stood over them continued to blink red.He looked from one side to the other with a thoughtful gaze."Why look for them?" Alecia asked with a confused look and stepped beside Aven."You know they're dangerous." Leah stood next to a mangled car and stared at the ash covered windows. "Because you're going to take that blade and plunge it into them." Leah started to draw on the vehicle's window with her index finger, and turned to Aven and Alecia."W-why?" Alecia said with a shocked tone in her voice. "Do you know that they were born into this world as it is now?" Aven said with a narrowed look."What is that got to do with anything?" Leah butted in and
Both Aven and Alecia stared at each other for a moment. Just then, Alecia threw quick punches that are blocked by him. He startled to get pushed back by her series of attacks. Leah could only watch them both in confusion.An ash cloud began to trail behind them as they both moved through the streets. Every moment, they blocked each other's punches and kicks. The air around them vibrated each each collision.A long ash cloud trail could be seen moving across the streets from their battle. As the battle continued. Alecia started to lose focus. Within a moment in time, her glowing pupils trailed towards his, before narrowing her gaze.Just then, she swiftly dodged his next his before countering with a hard punch to his gut, however her following attacks got blocked by him once more. Just then, he kicked her flying before going after her. Leah stopped following them, and watched as Alecia flew above her towards a building.Doing a back flip, she rested against the wall of the building. J
"Why did you come here!?" Virgil asked, glaring up at her.The woman turned her gaze to him, and gave a slight smile. "I have been rather busy lately." She said, staring into the distance before looking down at him. "However. I noticed odd things happening," she gestures out her hands."Well. Driven by my curiosity... I found you." She lowered her hands to her side and looked between him and Diana. "I never expected to see you two again, let alone, her." She trained her eyes to Alecia. "Who are you?" Alecia asked."Are you another Evie?" The woman chuckled."Me... Evie?" She scoffed, opening her eyes. "What a ridiculous name. Just as ridiculous as Chuck himself." Her smile faded"No. My name is not Evie. I fashioned myself my own name, and it is Eva." Alecia stared up at Eva for a moment. Still, she hovered in the air above. "Eva, huh," she frowned and begun to levitate off the ground before ascending. Both Virgil and Diana watch her in awe. "Alecia?" Virgil said as he locked
Alecia arched her hand back with a calm collected gaze, strands of her white fringe covered one of her eyes. Dashing towards Eva, she threw a hard punch to her face and kicked her back, before going after her in a fast motion that even an untrained eye would have trouble keeping up.Eva blocked Alecia's next attack, sending a vibration through the air around them. They both started throwing punches and kicks at each other, slowly they moved away from Aven, and the others. Alecia grabbed Eva's shoulders before throwing her smashing into the one building.Alecia dashed with her fist ready. Dodging her attack in a swift motion, Eva watched watch her enemy smash into the building. Dashing into the destroyed wall, she headed towards Alecia before kneeing her in the chin, forcing her to fall back. Smiling in the moment, Eva smashed Alecia through the floor along with the remaining seven until she landed on the first floor, causing an ash cloud to sweep out from under her.Alecia lay on th
