He remembered the day he met her clearly. It should have been a meaningless event but a wink caught his attention. He skated into an alley, baseball bat at the ready. He had just seen the thugs he was after running into there. He was prepared to give them a beating they'd never forget but when he got there all he saw was black flames and red eyes. The men were on the floor, beaten to a pulp. Looks like someone beat him to it. Those red eyes met his. He saw the person give him a small smirk before winking and vanishing with a blast of those beautiful flames. It was ever since then he'd see her wink, then leave.

The second time they met she was after one of their targets. She had just gotten up from pounding someone's face in when she saw him. Flaming fists lit up the area around her. Her eyes glittering like rubies in the dark lighting. Her hair was flowing wildly around her, brown with blood-red ends. She was a vision, to say the least. He found himself feeling breathless just looking at her. Soon enough though he was met with a flaming kick to his chest knocking all air out of him. She held a finger to her mouth telling him to be quiet and gave him another wink before she vanished again.

Their meetings were always the same, she beat someone up, wink, and vanish. She was a mystery, whenever he asked his clan about her they never had an answer. She was practically a ghost, one that haunted him and only him. Was she even real? It was seriously starting to drive him crazy. Day after day he wondered if he'd see her, wonder if he'd be able to talk to her. Find out why no one seems to know about her. He thought maybe he had imagined her till a talk with that traitorous bastard clued him in on something.

"Where is she?" An icy voice called out to him after a grueling battle.

He was tired, done, and didn't know what this stupid monkey was talking about, "Huh? Who the fuck are you talking about, Anna? Where do you think you jackass?"

"Not Anna you virgin, the other girl!" He yelled, getting annoyed with the man's antics.

"Eh? Another girl? Are you stupid? When am I talking to anyone other than Anna? For someone who knows me so creepily well, you're asking some stupid fucking questions!" He yelled, hazel eyes glaring into blue before turning away trying to take his leave.

"So you know nothing of the black flamed strain? Whenever I see her you're always nearby", he taunted.

"Black flames..." His eyes widened at the confirmation of the existence of that strange girl he keeps seeing. He spun around, marched back up to that damn bastard, and gripped his collar. He dragged him down to his level, ignoring how tall the other man is, "Who is she?"

"Oh?" A sneer appeared on his face, "You don't know? I guess you caught her attention if you keep seeing her."

"Stop playing games monkey, who is that girl?" His face was practically touching the other man's face. His forehead inches from his as he held back the need to hit him more.

"Rose MidKnight, the black flamed strain of this city. She causes destruction wherever she goes. Some say she's a bounty hunter, others say she likes beating up bad guys for fun", the man pushed up his glasses rather unbothered by the shorter man's outburst, his voice perfectly calm and steady, if anything it looks like he was having fun watching him rage, "Finding her is practically impossible and whenever I finally do see her she's leaving you somewhere."

"Why? Why do I always see her everywhere? It's so annoying! No one knows enough and I can't even get her to speak!" He pushed the taller man back, dragged a hand down his face in annoyance, and turned back to him, "Why do you want her?"

"Same reason we want to capture your king, she's dangerous you fool. Looks like you're her new toy, leave you in awe till you worship the very ground she walks on. She needs to go down, thinking she's so strong and powerful, taunting the world with her flames. She should be locked up, don't you think?" Ice blue eyes seemed to be seeing red.
