Friend OR Foe [closed]

[Halo]

(ooc: srry its not to great I'm kinda low on muse today...)

Jen walked down the street. It began raining. The sun had been down for a few hours and she had already changed into the clothes she wore when she didn't want to be seen. Her long black hair was fown and soaking wet. She looked around and saw that there wasn't anyone on the streets. She moved into the shadows of a building, just incase someone was watching, and used her powers of matter creation to make an umbrella. She knew it would only last for a few minutes, but that was enough for her to hopefully find a hotl and get a room. She had just gotten out of trouble with the law and other people and she wasn't aiming to get into more trouble. At least for a few days. She continued to walk and she turned down a dark alley because she knew a shortcut to a good place to stay. She had stayed there before and knew that she would be perfectly safe ther.

She turned down the alley to see it as dark as ever. Like always, rats ran across the ground infront and behind her. She could her the screams of angry teenagers in the buildings above. The typical life of any "normal" person in the city. She continued to walk. This was truely the longest alley she had ever been down, but it seemed longer when you were walking in the rain remebering poeple you once knew. That was the only thing she could think of lately, people she had lost.

[grazia]

It started to rain hard, so Grazia started to run. She could have made a force field, but she didn't want to take the chance of anyone seeing her using her powers. Of course, she wanted to make sure no one figured out who she was, or she would have to skip town again. She found a street that looked like the cave she was staying in. She walked towards it, but didn't seem ti recognize this street. She had quite a lot of time on her hands, so she decided to see where it would lead. After all, she was adventurous, and afraid of NOTHING.

She started to walk down the street. This part of town was way different from the rest. It looked like all the poor people who couldn't afford houses lived down here, but she was glad she was fortunate enough to have known how to cope with nature and was able to find a comfortable, "cheap" house to stay in. She walked around, ready to fight anyone that came near her, but none of the people on the streets got up. She walked by silently, and headed towards a street that looked like it would lead to her cozy cave.

When she walked to the street, she paused, and looked up. It had softened up a bit. She walked down the street, and could see her cave within close range from here. She headed for it, but stopped when she saw a dark alley. She could have swarn someone was there. She knew she shouldn't go looking for trouble, but it had been a while since she had gotten to use her powers for anything "entertainging". She headed down the street towards the alley and stopped at the beginning of it. She took a deep breath, and took one stepped. She immediately shot back when she saw something move below her. She almost screamed, but calmed herself down just in time. It's just a rat Grazia, calm down she said to herself, trying to calm herself down. With that, she headed down the tunnel of darkness, heading for what she thought could have been a big mistake, and thinking it more the farther she walked into it.

[Halo]

Jen, who was now Halo since she was in a different atire, and it was night, and she didn't mind using her powers right now... She sighed knowing that shw wasn't even half way down the alley. She stopped, her dress blowing ever so slightly from the wind that the strom had produced. Her umbrella disapeared leaving her in the rain. She stopped because she had heard something. She wasn't sure what it was, but she knew it was not a rat.

At this time she would have normally used her cloaking but she didn't feel any threat. She turned around, she could not see anything so she culd not even tell if anyone was really there, even with her mind reading powers... which usually could tell her, atleast, if someone was near, but because she was tired and it was raining so hard she could not tell if it was a rat or something worse. She turned back around asuming it was nothing, a figment of her imagination, not that it mattered she was ready for anything.

It hadn't been long since she had actually killed someone, what would keep her from doing it now. Oh yeah, now she wouldn't be killing someone who had treated her like dirt after everything that she had done. Ok Halo, just chill, its over, thats part of the past, she can't control you anymore. No one can Even though she said these words to herself she couldn't let the past go. She also knew that it wouldn't be long till she was once again persuaded to help someone even more evil than herself.

Once again she heard a noise. By now ever inch of her was soaking wet. She turned around. Now she was determined to find out what was making this noise cause it sure wasn't the rats. She slid back quickly while she turned invisable. She stood up against the wall waiting for what ever was making all these noises, just waiting...

[grazia]

Grazia continued to walk down the alley. She thought for a moment whether she should use her powers or not. After all, it might just be someone regular, like someone with no powers just hanging out in a pitch black dark alley. She decided what she said was preposterous, and decided it wouldn't drain too much energy to become invisible for a few moments. She turned invisible, and moved carefully through the alley. She could hear her heart beating. She looked back, and could barely see the light poking out from outside the alley. She looked back forward, and knew someting wasn't right. She decided to take action. She flew into the air, using her telakanisis to take a dumpster with her, and poured out the garbage all over the alley. She knew it wouldn't harm anyone, but let them know she was there and not afraid. Even though deep down inside, she knew she should not have gone down the alley.

She flew back down, and listened for a noise, and walked farther into the darkness, her hands glowing, but not enough to see in the pitch black dark. It started to thunder, and decided to hurry it up, as she was getting hungry, and she hadn't an idea what time it was. She was still invisible, but not yet tired. She was on the ground now in fear of needing all her energy for fighting, hoping she didn't need to, but thinking she would. She had no idea what she was up against, but she was about to find out.

[Halo]

Halo looked up, away to the ground to find bananas and other miscellaneous objects falling from a dumpster, in the sky... Hmm not suspicious at all right. She knew someone had stepped onto the ground for she heard a small splash. The alley was small and the splash was right next to Halo so she once again tried to use her mind reading abilities. She listened for even the slightest hint, a small breath or even a small step. She looked down and noticed a faint glow. It was coming from someone. She closed her eyes. Her mind searched the surrounding area till she found a small thought.

Gotcha a small statement. She was glad she hadn't said it aloud for then she may have been the one caught. The thought she found was not a scared one, but a curious and cautious one. This person obviously knew something was there. The great thing was the fact that Halo didn't find one thought telling her that the girl knew what was there, yet. She let the though pass her, meaning that this person had passed her too. She slowly slid away from the wall and behind the person. She knew this because all thoughts that she could sense were in front of her.

So, you deiced to take a stroll, at night, in my city? Not very smart... And yes, I know your here even though your seem to be invisable... But your thoughts are still out in the open for me to access... Halo gave a small laugh before sliding back to her position along the wall. The she reached up and climbed on the fire escaped stairs on an apartment facing the alley way. There, now I have made my presence known and now I'm out of reach... She was satisfied with her actions and didn't feel threatened, but she stayed invisible all the same.

[grazia]

Grazia continued to walk. She heard breathing, so she turned round and saw nothing. Then, she walked more down the slley, bumping into the wall. She rubbed her nose, as she had hit it hard. She turned around and whispered under her breath Waist of my time. Then she heard someone speak.

"So, you deiced to take a stroll, at night, in my city? Not very smart... And yes, I know your here even though your seem to be invisable... But your thoughts are still out in the open for me to access... "

Grazia stopped dead. She listened for a moment, and looked around, seeing nothing. She began to feel fear flow through her. She used her telakanisis, and started throwing garbage off the ground all over the walls, but heard no sound. She could not find this thing, but how could it find her? She heard a small snicker, then became very afraid.

Listen I don't want any trouble. I'm not from here, but... she took a pause knowing she had to be careful what she said, or she would have to leave town again. I'm not new either. I just want to know who you are... no trouble. She waited for an answer, then started to get mad. This thing was toying with her and she knew it. Her hands started to glow brighter, and so did her eyes. She had to calm herself down before something bad happened. She decided to walk back down the alley slowly, keeping an eye in every direction. Then, she realized something. She decided to try something. She made a forcefield, and placed it around her invisible sense. Maybe this will keep me more invisible she thought to herself. But she could only keep it up until she was out of the alley, or else she would run out of energy. So she decided to keep walking, and for some reason, she could not see any light come out of the other end of the alley, but she started walking anyway.

[Halo]

Halo was enjoying this. She could here even the lsightest hesitation when this girl spoke for she hear the thought before she heard the words. Waist of your time... ha... If all you can do to protect yourself is become invisible and make a tiny fiorcefield then it is my time being waisted, no? She jumped from one side of the alley to the other with the slightest ease. She was silent and graceful. The rain had stopped and now her dress was relativle dry. Her hair no longer dripped thus creating more silence and thus more fear.

She once again used her matter creation powers to make a small dagger. She found the small glow. Now she knew. This firls hands and eyes, yes thats what was glowing. You make this to easy, why read your mind to find you when i can just spot the glow your hands and eyes produce. She suddenly got a major headache. She knew she had read the girl mind, but now her weakness caught up with her. She couldn't read minds but for so long and now was when she needed to give her brain a rest. She made one more dagger, for she could not make anymore at this moment. She threw the first one, landing just outside the girls force field. If this wasn't enough of a waring she would have to show her just what she could do, without killing her.

When you entered my city you asked for trouble. When you found me, or rather I found you thats when the trouble finds you and causes you problems, and when i say trouble, I mean me... and by the way... The names Halo. She really didn't mind letting this girl know her name, its was a name that was to be known all arounf the city. A name known for good and bad, but tonight its would be known as a bad name, one to fear.

Halo was very happy with her statement, She had hopefully scared the poor girl and made her name known to atleast one more person. This was what she had been planning from the begging. Become known, become repsected (by few, but still some), and at the same time, become feared. She had so far succeded in fear. She was on a roll... The beggining of her new life started out no different that the bigging of her old one. How predictable, but still she hoped she had this girl on the edge of her seat, waiting to see where Halo's voice would come from next...

[grazia]

Now it started puring again. Grazia became mad. She hear something flying through the air and turned around to find a dagger flying straight through towards her head. She moved out of the way, but not quick enough. The dagger sliced throught the side of her chest, and fell to the ground. Grazia fell to the ground. She had to hold in her screams, as the pain was unbelievable. Tears rolled down her cheek, as the bleeding was not to bad, but the pain was extreme. She became ferocious and all she wanted to do was KILL THIS CREATURE. Her eyes and hands continued to glow, as she shot up towards the sky. She became invisible, as she didn't need it anymore, as the creature obviously saw her anyway. She became extrmely angry, and suddenly, she yelled. it was a scream that could have been heard from miles away, but for some reason only heard in the alley. A bolt of lightning shot from the sky straight towards the wall in the alley. She didn't wait for it to hit. Grazia fell to the ground. She had only fainted for a second, when she saw fog in front of her. She couldn't believe what just happened. Wow. How did I...? she couldn't say anymore. She was to shocked at what happened, but she knew the reason why. Her sisters, born for evil, all had this power. She was born for peace, so when she wanted to kill, and get revenge, the rage inside her was so intense, her secret powers came out. Apparently she had them in her all along, but was afraid to use them. And now, she never wanted to use them again. She tried to look into the fog as well as she could, but became weary and tired, She layed there for a moment, holding her side where she had been sliced by the dagger. She didn't faint, but she stared into the fog, hoping the creature was alright, and regreting what she had just done. She waited for a response.

[Halo]

A fog come into the alley way and Halo knew that she had actually hit this poor girl with her dagger when a bolt of lightning shot up. It didn't really even close to her but she knew that the girl was still down there. She jumped down onto the smooth gravel paved alley, her dress flying up slightly when she did. She moved closer and could now see the girl. I hope you know that I'm not sorry that my dagger hit you, you should have left when you had the chance. She took a deep breath then sighed. I am however, glad to see that you are not badly injured.

Halo walked forward till she was so near to the girl that she could see her face, the small tears streaming down her face and she could see the blood on the nearby dagger. She sat down next to the girl. She new this girl was not bad and she needed help. Halo knew she could not offer this girl friendship, for this may put her in real danger if Halo ever acquired an enemy, but she could offer her assistance whenever it was needed.

I am truly sorry that I cannot offer my friendship due to the circumstances, but i can offer you I disagreeistance. If you ever need help just find me. I am glad to say that I am not all bad. Just remember this, no matter where you are I won't be far away. Halo hated to end this meeting so soon, but she was still tired and wished to leave. She got up and began to walk away. She hoped the girl would respond. She still wished to now her name and she wanted to know if she would accept her offer, if she was willing to be Halo's alli.

(ooc: please exuse the wierd word in that last line Halo says outloud, it wont let me change it even if i modify it... its supppost to say I disagreeistance...)

[grazia]

Grazia stopped crying for a moment and heard the girl's voice saying that she was sincerely sorry. As the girl walked away, Grazia knew she had been forgivcen. With all the strength she had left, she stood up, still holding her side, and looked at the girl.

My name is Grazia. I have come from a wicked family, hoping for good. I am extremely sorry about the lightning. See, when your dagger hit me, I became so mad, that my true power came out. I am hoping it will never happen again. And I shall stay in this city for now, but if our paths ever cross again, we shall meet as allies. I may not be as, dark, as you, but I still have a horrible and troubling past... in a way, we are alike, and if we can reach an understanding, we will be able to sorrespond, and be friends with one another. I wish you safety on your journey to wherever, but I really must go now. It was... esxtremely, um, joyful to meet you. Grazia smiled as best as she could, and started to fly as well as she could. She knew she had made a friend, but she was not sure if she could be trusted. If their paths ever crossed again, she would hope they would be friends, as that was her mission from birth. To bring peace to the world.

She flew home, and slowly foxed up her wound. She thought about what had happened, and decided that Halo was ok. She hoped she could trust her in keeping her secret, and that she could live in her city in peace. She hoped that battle would have been for the better over worse, and that is exactly what Grazia hoped for.

THE END... Aww... happy ending... boring... oh well now Grazia and Halo are allies... yay... woohoo...
