Isedon followed the direction the dog pointed and cocked her head to one side. What was poochie staring at? Crouching down, Isedon followed the eye-level gaze of the dog to see a man. Dressed in black and hiding in the shadows. 

Whoever it was made her hackles rise even though she didn't have any. 

And this dude was definitely not a MIB.

She rose slowly, lips faintly curling into a snarl before she shook her head and turned back towards the male. "She's not crazy. If she were, she won't be scared of something," she told him. But since he said his dog was crazy meant that he could see this man dressed in black. 

~xXx~

Having gotten and paid for his coffee, Zakeru sipped at it as he replaced is wallet in his back pocket. He turned to see a man talk to a female a few years younger than he. One of his eyebrows quirked up. Okay... Then, the stranger's tone took in a more yelling aspect and the female jumped to her feet, knocking the chair backwards. 

Zakeru growled, a deep rumble within his chest. 

Walking over to he male, he set one hand on his shoulder, saying, "Take a god damn chill pill, bud. Your scaring the lady. And speak something maybe we all can understand?" He glanced pointedly at the small audience of onlookers.

As he took another sip of the caffeine-enriched coffee.

Rana didn't move her gaze from the man, who had begun to walk towards Isedon and Greyson. Greyson turned to take a closer look at the man. His eyes were light, nearly white. That wasn't normal. Maybe he had some disease. Maybe Greyson should stop staring. But he couldn't. His eyes were nearly glued to the man.

Finally, Greyson turned to Isedon. "Yeah. My dog's definately not crazy. That man looks.... different, and he's heading our way."

He then noticed that Isedon had growled. The realization had just now hit him, and, though it freaked him out a bit, he'd seen people do stranger things than simply growl or snarl. His silver eyes widened.

~~~~~~~~~~

Solstice's eyes flashed as the black-clothed man pulled a gun to the other boy's head. Now that he'd come closer, she recognized him. The boy from the carousel from the night before. He was just a few years older than her, she guessed, and his orangey eyes were unusual, she noticed.

"Don't shoot. God, don't shoot! You're after me, just shoot me and not the man that's trying to help!" She bit her lip, her eyes beginning to turn to the same dark blue that they had been the night before, and closed her eyes as she felt the barrel of the man's gun press against her head. He'd let the other boy go.

The man began to squeeze the trigger, wanting to stall the moment as long as possible. He'd seen her ring, and now he wanted her dead.

Isedon glanced back at the man, her lip curling when she saw he was right. Russet eyes narrowing, she turned back towards the male around her age. "One of two things we could do. Run or stand and face him. Personally, I'd run. Not feeling like getting another bruise," she said, voice slowly turning into a mutter.

Her eyes flicked back towards the man. He just looked so strange. White eyes with no sign of a pupil and dressed in a dark black, three-piece suit. Something with him made something within in her urge her to flee. As fast as she could.

~xXx~

Zakeru moved quickly when the gun had aligned with the head of the girl. He dropped his coffee and rushed forward, jarring the man's arm. The movement caused the gun to shift a little to the right before it fired, bullet whizzing past the girl and slamming high into the wall. Then, he kicked out, foot connecting with the chest of the man and sending him stumbling backwards.

"Oya oya, ima mite. Anata wa watashi ga watashi no kafein o
koboshimash!ta. Sosh!te, watashi wa kemuri o motte ita mae ni watashi ga
 idō sh!ta dore dake hayaku mieru. Sate, aibō wa, watashi wa anata ni
jigoku e no jiyūna ryokō o ataemashou!" Zakeru growled in Japanese. It was his second language and he spoke it as fluently as English.

Then, he turned towards the girl as he shifted out of his leather jacket. Dropping it on her head, he gave her a crooked smirk. "Lined with Kevlar, that is. Just stay low. Get outside and on the bike. Its the steampunk one, if ya'didn't know."

OoC://

Zakeru is saying; Aw, now look. You made me spill my caffeine. And look how fast made me move before I had a smoke. Well, buddy, let me give you a free trip to Hell!

And the bike looks like this; tle="" href="http://www.toxel.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/steampunk14.jpg">xxx

Greyson looked back at Isedon, and quickly agreed with the option of running. "I'd also like to avoid violence right now." However, Rana was making it difficult. The dog wouldn't budge though. It had begun to let out a few whines now and then.

Whoever that man was, Rana wanted him dead. She didn't want that man to survive to be near Greyson. Rana finally let out a loud snarl as the man broke out into a sprint towards the two.

Greyson tugged and pulled on Rana's leash, but the dog wouldn't move. Finally, when the man was about a hundred yards away, Rana realized just how strange he was. She tucked tail and ran, dragging Greyson with her.

"Yep! We're running!"

~~~~~~~~~~

Solstice had just closed her eyes when she felt the barrel of the gun jar away from her head and fire out a bullet. She didn't even flinch. She'd expected to die, or to be gravely injured, but the bullet hadn't touched her. She opened her eyes to see the boy that had saved her yelling in some language she couldn't understand. She guessed it was Japanese, given that she'd recognized only a few of the words.

Everything happened so quickly. She watched the black-clothed man struggle to get from where he layed, crashed on a broken coffee table. His eyes were white, with no pupils. That wasn't normal. How hadn't she noticed that before?

She felt something drop onto her head. The boy's jacket. She'd been so caught up in staring at the white-eyed man trying to get up that she hadn't seen him shed the parcel of clothing.

"Lined with Kevlar, that is. Just stay low. Get outside and on the bike. It's the steampunk one, if ya didn't know."

Sol nodded. This boy seemed to be quite calm in this situation, she thought, and nice enough to give her his jacket, which was basically bulletproof. She slunk out of the shop, keeping the leather jacket over her head.

She noticed that all of the people in the shop were gone. They had evacuated when Solstice had closed her eyes. She just hoped that that boy didn't get killed. God bless him.

She got onto the steampunk bike, and waited, watching through the windows of the store. The black-clothed man stood, and let out a sickening laugh.

"Yep! We're running!"

At his voice, Isedon was off. Her arms pumping as her stride lengthened so she could cover more ground and get farther away from that freakazoid man in the black three-piece suit. Her earbuds managed to stay in her ears as she rounded a corner with surprising skill before glancing over her shoulder.

"I know a good spot to hide. Follow me!"

Not wanting to see if he heard, she bolted down the street and ducked down an alleyway.

~xXx~

Zakeru scowled as the man stood back up and gave something akin to maniacal laughter. Orange eyes narrowed quite dangerously and glinted red. Something was definitely wrong with this man. He just didn't know what. Then, without much thought, Zakeru attacked again.

Rushing forward before turning on one heel to drive the other straight up into the male's nose. He felt bone and cartilage break under his instep. He also hoped that the bones of the other male's nose penetrated his brain. That death would've been quick and quite painless. But Zakeru wasn't feeling exactly merciful.

So when his foot re-engaged contact with the ground, Zakeru fled the shop so this other rising urge to rip the strange man's body to pieces didn't overwhelm him. Hopping onto the back of the bike behind the female, Zakeru quickly started the bike and shot down the street.

Rana, giving into her instincts, chased Isedon. The wolf-smelling female had ran in front of her, and she followed, dragging Greyson behind her. Greyson had just began to get into stride behind his goliath of a dog when the massive beast rounded a corner, and stopped, causing Greyson to run into the dark-furred canine. Rana let out a startled yelp, and turned around to face her master, tail wagging nervously.

"Who.... Who the hell was that man? Do you know him? I don't." Greyson allowed his eyes to widen as he rubbed his dog's head in an attempt to calm the canid down. His poor Rana was panting heavily, and was warm all over- both were caused from how fast she'd been running.

"His eyes were freaky as I'll get out." He rubbed the back of his head with his free hand.

~~~~~~~~~~

Solstice watched the scene occur inside, and she heard the crunch of the man's nose as the orange-eyed male's foot made contact with the extremity. She visibly winced, though she felt no pain. However, she couldn't help but feel the need to fight this man, also. But Solstice was no violent girl. She was a pacifist, if anything.

Her train of thought was interrupted when she felt Zakeru get onto the bike behind her, and start the steampunk-esque motorcycle. She'd never ridden on one of these things, and she was nervous to. However, this was no time to think about how you were to get away from a hostile, white-eyed man.

Solstice closed her eyes, which were the same shade of blue as her ring now- a deep sapphire-, and hoped that the two of them wouldn't get hurt. She clenched the kevlar-lined jacket that Zakeru had earlier handed to her.

Isedon had slowed when she reached the alley and stopped when the giant dog and her master stumbled into the entrance. Her chest heaved to get more oxygen to her muscles. Her russet eyes blinked away the sweat the run had worked up before she shook her head.

“First time seeing anybody like that guy and I am definitely not friends with him. Dude freaks me out,” she replied, turning away again before walking further into the alley. “Come on, where are not there yet. And I can get water for your poochy friend.”

~xXx~

As Zakeru sped away down the streets, he could feel his eyes burn something intense as the ring around his finger seemed to heat up somehow. But he didn’t stop to check. He just wanted to get the hell away from that place. And he knew one place the girl could be relatively safe.

The shop.

Turning down several streets, he revved the engine and watched as the taller buildings vanished behind them. Though, he slowed down so he could pull into a driveway-parking lot. Stopping and parking in one of the empty spots, he stopped the bike and dismounted the bike before resting one hand on the girl’s back.

“Are you alright?” he asked, his voice filled with concern for her.

Greyson smiled nervously, letting out a light laugh at what Isedon had said. "He freaks me out, too." He looked down to Rana, who was panting, and looking at the girl that had led Greyson to safety. She let out a quiet bark as she heard Isedon mention the 'poochy friend'.

"Thanks. We'll follow you. I wouldn't want to run into that freaky guy again. Those white eyes..." He furrowed his brows. The only time he'd ever seen eyes like that were in the movies. He shook his head, flicking some of his hair back into place, and wiping away some sweat that had beaded on his forehead.

"And Rana would enjoy some water."

~~~~~~~~~~

Solstice had kept her eyes closed the whole ride, a bit scared to open them, seeing as she hadn't ridden a motorcycle before. When she felt the wind stop blowing her hair around, she cautiously opened one eye just in time to feel a hand placed on her back.

She opened her other eye, and looked over to the orange-eyed guy that had saved her. Her eyes were the color of her ring again, a deep, dark blue. "Yeah... I'm fine. Thanks for helping out back there. I would've gotten my brains blown out."

She put on a nervous smile, just now realizing that she and the boy would probably be all over the news in a matter of minutes, and that reporters would be looking for them all over the place, hoping to get them on a cover story or something.

Isedon nodded. "Good, good," she said before slipping behind a curtain. Flipping a switch, the generate hummed to life and a few lights turned on in the small hide-away. But there was enough room to fit a couch, a small TV, and even a tiny kitchen. "Feel free to make your self at home."

Walking over to the minuscule kitchen, she pulled out a chipped bowl from a cupboard and filled it with water from the tap before setting it down in a place easily reachable for the giant dog. Then, she collapsed on the couch with a tired sigh.

~xXx~

Zakeru managed to crack a small smile when hearing that she was alright. Then, he wrapped the same arm around her shoulders, tugging slightly, and urging her to get up. "Come on, you can hang out in the kitchen here. I am sure Faolan won't mind," he said gently. Faolan is his stepfather and a pretty easygoing one at that. 

"I can get you a glass of water and something to eat since that man basically ruined your morning," he offered.

Greyson grinned when he saw the hideout. It was small, but luckily for him, he wasn't claustrophobic in the least, unlike his sister. He wiped his forehead, brushing away some of the locks of hair that had been plastered there.

He unhooked Rana's collar from the leash in his hand and the gargantuan dog lumbered over to the water bowl that Isedon had set out for her. She lapped up the water in large gulps, some of the liquid going over the side of the bowl as the belgian malinois plunged her muzzle into the dish.

"This is pretty cool," Greyson said, stroking Rana's back as she finished up the last of the water, sitting down beside the water bowl, still where he could see Isedon. Rana huffed and layed down beside her master, placing her head on his lap. Greyson absent-mindedly played with her ears.

"What is this place for, anyways? A place to come when you want to get away?" He scratched his neck with his free hand.

~~~~~~~~~~

Solstice stood, her legs a bit wobbly from the ride at first, but she quickly stiffened them. Her eyes slowly faded back to their grey-green color, the blue being banished from her iris until a later time. She blinked several times as she listened to Zakeru.

She was curious as to who Faolan was, but she didn't ask right then. She figured that she would find out later. She looked around at the building in front of her and tried to figure out what it was used for. To her dismay, she couldn't guess.

"Um.... I don't think I want anything to eat right now. My stomach's still a little bit shaky from the ride." She patted her abdomen and let out a weak smile. "Thanks for offering, though."
