Shadows Training

Unfortunate Meeting

After clocking out of her mundane job, she makes her way home down the usual shady alleyway path. She's halfway there until she comes across a horrific scene in the dead of night: a tall man wearing a sniper hood, black-fitted t-shirt sculping his huge muscular figure, beats several gangsters into pulp with his bloody fists. As the final gangster collapses, the sniper-hooded man turns in her direction. His icy blue eyes glint red, and his muscular, tattooed arms are tense. "Du da drüben, leave!" He clenches his fists and glares at her.

Seeing those piercing red eyes and intimidating glare sends a chill down her spine. She turns around to leave, but before she can make her getaway, the sniper-hooded man yells, "Hey, stop right there!"

She turns around slowly to face the sniper-hooded man again and look up at him, her height barely reaches half of his chest. Seeing how muscular his arms are compared to the beaten-up gangsters, she shudders as he continues to glare at her.

"What are you doing here, tiny girl?" he barks, his voice dripping with authority.

The unfortunate girl, Iris, nervously explains that she was just making her way home after work. The sniper-hooded man's icy blue eyes narrow in suspicion. He moves closer to her, towering over her 5'0" frame with his massive 7'0" frame. She can't help but notice the large lion designs tattooed up his muscular arms.

He looks her up and down before growling at her, "You shouldn't be so careless, tiny girl. I could kill the likes of you in a heartbeat."

With that, the sniper-hooded man turns around and walks away to resume beating on the gangsters, leaving her standing alone with her heart racing a mile a minute. She decides to take this as her cue to leave and hurry home without turning back.

After Iris left running like a rabbit chased down by a tiger. A light wind escapes from her sudden turn. The man his head arounds to her empty direction, his nose sniffs under the hoods. All the reeking bloods around him but he can still smell the faint scent of her. It somehow intrigues his interest.

The man smells the faint scent of his somewhat intriguing prey lingering in the wind. His blue eyes glimmer red with interest as he sniffs around, searching for the girl's trail. He can't let any loose ends, so the man begins to follow the scent, determined to find her.

He uses his nose, following the scent as it leads him down the shadowy alleyway. The man's curiosity piqued by this mysterious girl, and he won't stop until he finds her.

Just as the man reaches the end of the alley, he then hears a sound of a running footsteps coming from the opposite side. The man quickly turns around to see Kai running as fast as she can towards him. She looks behind her and sees the man catching up quickly.

"Leave me alone!" she yells. The man laughs and breaks into a full sprint, quickly gaining ground on Kai.

But Kai is smart. She knows she's being followed, and he surely won't stop until he got what he wanted. A closure. so, she runs to her company instead. At this hour, she expects her fellow trainees, and the coaches must still crowd the place. It's a great kill box if this gigantic maniac of a man is trying to harm her.

But upon her arrival, she's immediately disappointed. The lights are off, the place is quiet. Kai quickly types in the group chat. But she stops as she read the unread messages in the group chat saying that the team ended the training early to have a night out together.

She's doomed.

Her heart stops as she notices the presence 10 steps away behind her.
