Well it's not really an army….more of a safe haven that can very much defend itself

Whoops- sorry I must've read it wrong, OK so now that I understand, are we ready? Or am I missing something?

I think we're about ready. who's gonna start and were does the opening take place you think?

Well- could you start? And maybe they meet in the middle of a crowd, but she seems to stand out to him- and vise versa. They both have something strange, and neither is sure what it is? Just a thought.

and she's 16 right? wanna make sure before we start

It had been four days since the last Shadow attack but I wasn't taking any chances. I was the the field agent as well as the co-founder of Haven and if anyone…was going to get Anna pop-tarts it would be me. Yes I was risking an attack for something so simple, so stupid. Who could say no to Anna though, she was Haven's youngest member, at only twelve years of age and s-'woah what's that smell?' My thoughts suddenly interrupted as I was overwhelmed by a strong scent that was only know to be of….not here though right?

I was trying to blend in within the crowd, but when you have silver blue grey eyes and a strange aura around you- it's rather difficult. I sighed and shoved my hands in my pocket- until I sensed something… something wrong.

They were here…Feral Shadows, creatures that liked to feed on supernatural and unnatural beings. I looked around as they were all around me now 'oh wonderful they know' I had to get out of this crowd before-then I caught the scent of a girl…no no no no they weren't just going to go after me.

I felt panic, knowing I was in trouble. I sped my pace, and started to get out of the crowd. I couldn't let them harm anyone else. I sprinted as fast as I could, knowing I'd be leaving a easy to follow trail.

'what is she doing!?' I thought as I saw the Shadows starting to head out of the crowd. I had to help this girl and wasn't going to let them get another meal. I soon slip out of the crowd and follow behind the group of Shadows as they started to scuttle and crawl after the girl.

(XD Sorry, I had to already go to bed Oof)

I picked up speed, people stopping to look at me. Most only looked annoyed, they had no clue what I was running from but they didn't care. I had to get out of there and fas- Wait- who's crawling on the ground?

As soon as we all were fully out of the crowd I pulled the pendant from my neck and a two foot long short sword sprung to life. I spoke up at the shadows, yelling a bit as most of them turned to the sound of my voice.

I had ignored the figure until now- when they pulled A FLIPPING SWORD OUT OF NOWHERE! I was fully captivated at this point. Maybe it was the tone in his voice- or the sword- but it demanded presence. I wasn't going to deny them that.

the rest of the shadows turned to me as I was the bigger prize, they knew who I was. "Yeah that's right come here, you know I'm the bigger meal." I taunted them as I was drawing them away from the girl

I felt the sharp sense of security rise. I turned back to the masculin voice and felt conflicted. He was trying to save me- but I didn't want him to get hurt. I was being an idiot- but I couldn't leave him. I ran up beside him and lay a hand on his shoulder.

"Get outta here kid I got this I don't need you getting hurt." I put the girl behind me as a small storm cloud started to form. I bashed back a feral with my sword hilt that had gotten a bit too desperate.

(Ahg! Sorry my internet is being dumb…)

I stumbled, but never ran away. "No! I can't let someone else get hurt because of me!" She cried from behind him. "Please don't make me leave, do it yourself, I beg you!"

(it's cool no need to stress) I slashed at the creatures, some turning to puddles as my blade connected, giving us space from them now as I backed away with her. I covered her her eyes quickly with my free hand as a bolt of lightning came down from the dark storm cloud, deflecting off my blade and producing a chain affect in the rest. They were not dead but just dazed. My sword vanished and I took the girl's hand as I rush s away from them, one already recovering it's senses.

I didn't stop, I just let him pull me along. I couldn't keep up if I tried on my own. I skidded behind him trying to stay on my feet. "Where are we going?" I asked loud enough for him to hear.

I came to a halt after we had distanced ourselves from the immediate threat I turn and speak in a hushed tone "Those things came after you because you're not normal. What is it about you that isn't natural?"

She glanced up at him. "You think I don't know that? I lost munch brother to those things." She hissed. "I'm an Elemental Kinetic Aura, but most would call it an EKA. I have power over ice, and I'm a telepathic."

"Hey calm down I've lost plenty to them too. You need to come with me though, at least until the public attack numbers go down." I seemed a bit on edge, and seemed to care about the safety of the girl.

I took a deep breath knowing I was being unfair. But I didn't even know this guy. "How do I know I can trust you? Just because you come in and save the day doesn't mean you won't double cross me." She said keeping a decent distance now that they were alone.
