Six Feet Deep.

[valekin]

Time had run out. That distinctive click of a glock's round chambering had rung. He smirked and closed his eyes. His body relaxed. Half of him wanted to die, the weaker half. But the strong half wanted to tear the cop apart. And he would. As it was just a regular cop that had found him. No partner. Unfortunate.

"Hand's up fuck bag!"

Valekin put his hands up, and opened his eyes. Those ellipses focused on the girl. Who was so young and full of life compared to him. He was like the undead. Unable to end, unable to cease their hown suffering. The cop, to his own fault, closed in and practically put the barrel to the back of Valekin's head.

"Hand's on your hea- AGH!"

Valekin didn't comply, he had spun around and grabbed the cop's gun hand and pulled. His other arm clawed the cop in the face, spraying blood onto the emerald grass. He removed the gun from the cop's hand, flipped it around, and aimed it at the cop's skull.

Crack! Splat!

I'm sure you can imagine what he just did. I don't need to paint the gory details on this canvas. All had been done very quickly, quickly enough for Valekin to put his eyes back on the girl, and her still be there. He was like a dark streak of lightning.

"You misunderstood me my dear girl. I was complimenting you on how you haven't shown more than the usual fear. One such as you, with so much life ahead, being brave. Standing up to me...."

Hye hee hee hee....

"Though many of your fellow teens think the same way, they do not exhibit the same behavior alone with te monster, than in a group."

[Jenna Scorn]

Calamity was smirking still, a hand placed upon her hip as she was about to spit out some sort of witty comment to him yet again but the sudden click had caught her attention.

The sound was recognizable, and as she swallowed her eyes grew wide.

She had heard that sound before.

"Hand's up fuck bag!"

Her heart stopped, blue eyes envisioning Daisuke and her father.

Closing her eyes tightly, shaking her head.

"NO!!!!!!!!"

Eyes snapping open as she reached forward as she'd try to make her way down to the beast.

To try and...save him?

But only a few steps were taken, and soon the sound of the gun was ringing in her ears.

"You misunderstood me my dear girl."

She was stiff, a hand clenching at her shirt.

"I was complimenting you on how you haven't shown more than the usual fear. One such as you, with so much life ahead, being brave. Standing up to me...."

She swallowed.


"Though many of your fellow teens think the same way, they do not exhibit the same behavior alone with the monster, than in a group."

She was breathing hard.

Heart beating, pounding.

Now, the sudden space between them had closed.

"..........We aren't safe here."

Her right hand snapped out, grasping his wrist.

"They'll be here soon."

[valekin]

"We aren't safe here? And who is they?"

Valekin smirked, resisting her hand on her wrist for a moment. He knew what she was doing. She was trying to save him, but why? Why was this pink haired girl whose life he had just impacted so concerned about his own life? The life of a wretched monster. How curious. Valekin put the gun in safe-mode and stuck it behind the sheathe of the Falcon blade on his lower back. Then pulled her to him. His eyes merely an inch from hers. Those ellipses focused, and tried to look deep into her mind. To find her ulterior motives for trying to help him.

"Why are you so concerned for a monster like me?"

He said before letting her go and stepping back. He could hear voices over the horizon. Not voices in his head, but voices coming from different directions. He was surrounded, that meant he'd have to engage in more violence to get out of here.

"Would you like to talk at a different location? Cops make you jumpy I see."

Hye hee hee ha ha ha ha

[Jenna Scorn]

"We aren't safe here?"

"Your not."


"And who is they?"

"Cops."

A quick glance over her shoulder, swallowing any access saliva within her mouth. hurriedly pushing the hair out of her face as she gave a short breath of air.

"Lets g-"

He rejected her hand, and was soon pulling her close. Dreadfully close, her eyes found his. Her lips pressing sternly, a grim look upon her face.

He was so...

close.


"Why are you so concerned for a monster like me?"

But just like that, he was gone.

Almost in a flash.

She could hear the feint sounds, it was them.
The police.

"Would you like to talk at a different location? Cops make you jumpy I see."

"Make me jumpy?"

A smirk.

Reaching out for him again, letting her fingers wrap around his wrist as she pulled herself close to him.

"I didn't shoot anyone."

Still smirking.

"Lets go."

Yanking on his arm.

[valekin]

"You've yet to answer my question."

He said following her lead. Her hand on his wrist. His skin would feel soft, but cold. Like something forbidden. Something wrong, and something sinful. He was a cursed monster. None should touch him let their souls be stained in the same manner.

"Where are you leading me?"

Hye hee hee hee hee

To someplace hollow? So that I may burst into flames and and have no choice but to follow? How cruel. Where are you taking me dear girl, to your home? To your home where your parent's live. Where you call it safe. Or are you taking me to a secluded place. Will you try to take the gun from me? And put a bullet in my head? Will you try? Why won't you try?

[Jenna Scorn]

"You've yet to answer my question."

"We don't have time!"

She was pulling him, leading him up to the sidewalk.


"Where are you leading me?"

She paused a moment, letting those sparkling gems search form side to side. Quickly scanning the area before stepping forward.

All clear?

"There's a basement at my apartment complex...if I can just get you there without them seeing us..."

She trailed off, taking a few slow steps onto the cement.

[valekin]

"They'll never stop hunting me you know."

He followed. Taking her lead as if she was the squad leader. The point girl. The one calling the shots. He's been in this position before. Back when he was in Serbia. Yuri used to call most of the shots. Because he was older and more experienced. Even if Valekin out ranked him. He stepped out into the clearing. And those ellipses automatically locked onto a cop walking into the open.

Valekin pulled the gun out of instinct. Dropped to a knee. And pulled the trigger.

Crack!

"AGH!"

He didn't care if he killed the cop or not. He was on his way out of there. The sun was breaking over the horizon. And daylight was starting to make seeing much easier. He was losing the nocturnal advantage.

[Jenna Scorn]

"They'll never stop hunting me you know."


"I know, and soon they'll be after me."

A small sigh leaked from her lips as she would peek out. Eyes wondering from side to side.

"I think if we go this w-"

The gun shot rang out over the lands, echoing through the park.

Her body stiffened once again, her body turning in the direction of the gunshot.

"AGH!"

She swallowed, gritting her teeth.

"Damn it..."

She cursed to herself, noticing Valekin crouched on the ground she lunged at him. Letting her fingers curl into his mess of hair.

"COME ON!!!"

If the cops caught the both of them, they'd shoot her. And she'd never let that happen.

Not now.

[valekin]

"OW CHRIST!"

The silver tipped obsidian lockes ringed with a with sweet pain when she tugged on them. The roots screamed out in protest against her grab. He got up and followed her. Shaking his head and keeping the glock out. He had somewhere around twelve shots left? Maybe ten? Depended on the clip model. Now he'd follow her lead of course. Though he had seriously thought about shooting her for grabbing his hair. His hair was precious. You seriously provoked him when you fucked around with his hair.

"Then let's move a little faster. And I won't have to shoot every cop I see. Звук хороший к вам?"

Sound good to you?

It was a good suggestion. Moving faster would be a good idea. That way the cops wouldn't be able to keep up with them. And he wouldn't have to shoot anyone else. Therefore she wouldn't have to wince. And pull him in a more difficult manner. He gritted his teeth. Questioning why he was involving the girl. And why she was involving herself. She had so much life left to live.

"Lead on, yes?"

Hye hee hee hee hee.

[Jenna Scorn]

"OW CHRIST!"

"What? ...Can't handle a little hair pulling?"

Another smirk tossed in his direction before looking forward.


"Then let's move a little faster. And I won't have to shoot every cop I see. Звук хороший к вам?"

Faster?

What...Russian?

Yes, moving faster would be a good idea. Now, blue eyes scanning the area again before taking a few more cautious steps.

"You've done this before? Running from authorities?"


"Lead on, yes?"

A sure nod.

"Will do."

Now, without another glance those legs would shift. Feet padding against the ground as she headed down the sidewalk and towards the park exit.


But wait...


The cops will probably have it covered.



"Damn..."

Gritting her teeth now as she'd skid to a halt.

"They'll have the front surrounded. This way!"

Turning in the oposite direction.
The one they had just came from.

"Back to the river, maybe we can fallow it towards some sort of draining system...ya?"

[valekin]

Valekin was seriously beginning to doubt her leadership capabilities, and her sense of direction. First she wanted to go this way, now she wanted to go back to the water and go swimming and get out that way. She really needed to make up her mind. It's like picking cheesecake, or devil's food. Both are good. But Cheesecake is much better.

"Then let's go. Why walk when we can run? If we walk, we'll have to shoot our way out. And I don't think you'd like to be a murderer today, eh?"

Hye ha ha ha ha....

He said, following her towards the river. He would take the liberty to be the first to wade in, and see how deep it was. To him, it only came to his chest. The cool and clear blue water felt so good on his skin. He wished he could stay in there for a while. But he had to find a way out. He couldn't rely on her all the way, could he?

"If there is a storm drain, it will be in the opposite direction of the flow. Thus, we go this way."

He said, leading now against the current towards the inevitable storm drain that would lead them to freedom. Time... was of the essence.

[Jenna Scorn]

"Then let's go. Why walk when we can run? If we walk, we'll have to shoot our way out. And I don't think you'd like to be a murderer today, eh?"It was hard.
To think.
Her brain was trying to focus on a million things at the moment.

What to do?
Where to go?
What was gonna happen?
Would the cops shoot him?
Kill him?
Would they shoot her?

She stood at the edge of the water, taking a deep breath and watching Valekin slowly make his way into the water. She almost grimaced at the site of it, she didn't know how to swim.

Took another deep breath.
And another.

"If there is a storm drain, it will be in the opposite direction of the flow. Thus, we go this way."

Now, one step at a time she was slowly making her way into the water. Blue eyes glancing from side to side wildly, and now taking a soft breath before moving next Valekin.

"Y-ya....ok."

The water went to his chest, and just a little over her's, almost neck level.

"Um...one thing...I...I don't know how to swim."

She said this as she followed suit behind him.

[valekin]

"You don't know how to swim? Is that why you chose the river to... We'll talk later. Just get on my back like I was a dolphin if you find it too deep for you, da?"

Why... am I helping her...?

Oh... That's right... I'm curious...

Valekin waded through the water, up the river. Ignoring the noises of cops moving around. People getting all riled up at the sight and sound of a police presence, and the sounds of nature. The last time he really took the time to appreciate nature. Was when he was in his homeland. Sitting atop a crag peak, looking over a valley. And knowing how timeless the land was out there. No matter how much war tore at it.

It always recovered....

I want to be like the land...

[Jenna Scorn]

"You don't know how to swim? Is that why you chose the river to... We'll talk later. Just get on my back like I was a dolphin if you find it too deep for you, da?"


“…………..Yeah…”


A soft sigh as she waded through the water, fallowing close behind Valekin. Her clothes now soaked as she pushed through the water, eyes slowly looking form side to side, keeping an eye out for any cops.

Why was she doing this?

She wasn’t sure.

Maybe she wanted to prove herself.

But to who?

This beast?

Another sigh.

She had nothing to prove, not to him anyways.

She was trying to impress the wrong person.

Fuck.

Her father had always taught her to be kind, to go out and make something of herself. And what was she doing now? What had she been doing?

Skipping school.

Day dreaming about some stuttering weirdo with split personalities.

Dreaming of a future with the fucking lunatic.

What was she thinking, there was no future with him.

Winters and Jenna had only just met.

And he was introducing her as his friend.

But he had kissed her.

Winters…

Both hands grabbed at her head, clutched it tightly. Fingers entangling themselves into her damp pink hair.



No, stop it!!!!

Letting her hands fall to the side.

Ready.
Set.
Go.

A deep breath.

Now letting her feet move against the current.
Trying to keep in step with Valekin.

She had to live in the moment.
She had to think about now.

Right now.

[valekin]

Valekin didn't wade too far ahead of her. Within a little dive and arms reach. Just in case she stepped into a hole and went under. She'd be able to get her arms on him so she could get herself above the water. Since the river was man made, it really wasn't that rocky. But would probably have suffered some damage when it came to integrity. His metal plated boots kept him anchored to the bottom. He'd just have to walk, or crawl along the bottom. Swimming wasn't exactly the easiest for him with those boots on his feet.

La-da-da-la-la-la-da-da-da-la....

His blood pressure rose, and his subcutaneous veins rose to his skin because of the water's temperature and it's pressure on his body. It was getting a little difficult to breathe. He just had to be careful, and aware of his surroundings.
