Alpha and elas

Bounty Hunter pt 1

For the  past 5 years Alpha was a bounty hunter, and though he was new, he was the best one around. truly born for the job. bounty hunting wasn't illegal, but it wasn't very legal either. it was a kind of job that even people of the goverment would use to their advantage, and our alpha here was a popular requested hunter. alpha wasn't an assasin, but for a special price he'd make some exceptions, the posters say "dead or alive"anyway, he'd go after anything with a bounty over their head. 

alpha walked into a bar, one that most bounty hunters used to hang out and talk about targets and their latest jobs, stuff alpha didn't care about. alpha always prefered to work alone, he didn't care about most things, and he didn't want another person to slow him down from his solid streak. but this time, he was in the bar at the exact right time, eavesdropping on other hunter's conversation as he played with his whiskey in his glass. they were speaking of someone who nobody had been able to catch yet, and alpha saw that as a challenge. impossible to get your hands on? watch him. His name was Elas Alfreda, and he was a well known man. people spoke of him being a ruthless bastard, a thief, a killer even. and he has gotten away from every bounty hunter sent after him, he was good with weapons and one hell of a runner. the type that freeruns across buildings. nobody has been able to get his hands on him, but alpha was set on changing that. and with his goal clear, he began his journey to catch the infamous Elas Alfreda.

on a rainy day, alpha had heard whispers of elas' presence nearing gwangju village. as alpha had followed elas for a few weeks already with no success, his moves were deliberate and careful. though alpha was a pretty large man, his footsteps were unheard in the sound of the rain as he sneaked around looking for him. alpha wore all black, a bandana covering the lower half of his face. he had two daggers in his boots, one in his belt, ready for whatever this elas had to offer. a noise was heard very faintly, one you'd only hear if you payed close attention, and alpha made its was to the noise, it came from an alleyway somewhere in the dark. the alleyway was empty, so alpha looked around to find clues on where elas could have gone. and while doing so, he heard a gun click, and something cold press to the back of his shoulder, alpha froze, how could he have been followed without realizing it? 
"who are you? DONT. MOVE.....talk." a soft voice spoke, alpha straightened up, standing as he chuckled softly, elas really was something else. alpha's heart was beating fast, but his voice remained calm. 
"well isn't this a surprise? i should've known the great elas alfreda was a coward, attacking from the back." alpha paused, waiting for a reaction, but it remained silent.
"fine, i'll play your little game. name's Alpha Kelhana. you might've heard of me, now you put the gun down so we can talk." alpha softly moved his hand towards his belt, being sneaky so elas wouldn't see his moves, his fingers softly brushed against the cool metal against his hip.
"or would you prefer to keep playing cat and mouse? i must warn you, im more of a dog person myself" alpha attempted to distract him with conversation. unamused, elas ignored everything alpha said.
"you've been following me for months, what's your fascination with me huh? scared i might...do something?" elas said playfully, shoving his gun against his back in a nudge as he spoke his last few words. the action made alpha chuckle lowly, feeling the cold of the gun again, he almost forgot it was there, almost. 
"fascination? don't flatter yourself, it's more curiosity. you're good at getting away, sure, but i can asure you im not scared of you, elas." alpha's hand continued its slow journey, his hand finally wrapping around the handle of his blade.
"you've been following me non stop, you don't have anything better to do do you?" elas tried to get under his skin.
"well, pup, it's my job. i live off of bounties like yours, and you're a special prize, three million." 
"three million? for little old me?" elas giggled softly, loving this game they were playing. alpha took a deep breath, preparing to make his attack move.
"now let's cut the crap, you know why im here. what's it gonna be elas? are you going to come quietly or are we doing this the hard way?"
"well, you know, i've always liked the hard way." elas teased before kicking alpha forward with his leg, elas saw alpha's hand make it's way the entire time.  alpha stumbled forward just a bit, swinging his dagger backwards in a spin as he did, but elas was too fast, he dodged the attack by a hair, ducking away after his kick. the two faced eachother as alpha smirked, secretly enjoying this game. alpha grabbed his second dagger from his boot, holding both daggers as he tilted his head slightly.
"you're a feisty one aren't you? you want it the hard way huh? fine, but you asked for it." alpha launched himself at him, aiming to hit elas on his side. despite alpha's size, he was very fast and had quick movements, since he'd been doing this for so long. but, so has elas. elas dodged his every move with flexible acrobatics. only after a while the two really got a good look at eachother in the dark alleyway. somehow ending up in a strange embrace, one you could mistake as loving, if they weren't trying to kill eachother. alpha took a good look at him, he was beautiful, how could this person be what they say? has he go the right guy? he looks so innocent and angelic. but the dedicated glimpse in his eye spoke different, yeah, elas was out for blood. elas noticed the handsome bounty hunter aswell, though his eyes spoke to him in a different way. he was definitely who he said he was, his dark past on display in his eyes,whether he liked it or not. elas could feel alpha sneak his way to his abdomen with his dagger, preparing to end it there and then. the two panted as they looked at eachother, sometimes smiling playfully.
"cute, but i've faced far worse than you, and i've always come out on top." (except for once lolol we don't talk about it) alpha sneered, he grabbed elas's throat to keep him in place with his free hand. and the blush on elas's face was clear, but still, the man could only smile at the tension. 
"you're cute too" elas sweetly smiled, winking softly. and with a jump, elas once again kicked alpha away, since he had nowhere to go. alpha fell back to the floor, just like elas, letting go of his throat and his dagger sliding away across his stomach. alpha panted as he looked across from him, he watched as elas clutched his stomach, bent over in pain. elas looked up at alpha, panic and fear in his eyes, was this where alpha would end it? call a stop to their battle? elas' arm was red, covered in blood. and alpha slowly got up, seeing this as the perfect chance. he towered over him, his dagger in his hand. elas whimpered softly, remaining strong, and not giving into alpha. alpha grabbed his dagger, squeezing it tight, he tried to bring himself to charge at him and finish the job, but he couldn't, not when elas looked so vulnerable. 

"DAMN IT." he said, putting his daggers back where they came from. he was angry, he was angry at himself for not being able to do it. he crouched down nect to elas.
"let me see it." he said stern, still pissed at himself. elas watched his every move, refusing at first, but alpha moved his arm away. he let ou a soft sigh, it was just a cut.
"it's not a deep cut, you'll be fine. we need to get you patched up, come, lean on me." alpha offered elas a shoulder. elas slightly shifted away.
"n-no, im not falling for your trap!" elas attempted to get up, his breathing hitching as he clutched his stomach. 
"pup i could've finished you off right there and i didn't. now, let's go before you bleed out slowly and make this whole thin more complicated than it needs to be." alpha practically grabbed elas close, making him lean on him comfortably. 
"im not saying we're friends, once you're back on your feet i'll defeat you fair and square." that made elas shake his head in a chuckle.
"it's about your pride then? you thought i was too easy to kill." 
"something like that." 
"fine, but no hospitals, not when i look like this, i'll get put into a psychward immediately." alpha shrugged, understanding.
"yeah, i know a place, it's not far from here, can you walk?" alpha and elas took steps together, and luckily, elas could walk with a little help. 
and just like that, the two called truce, even if it was just for now, a truce between enemies.
