I subside my homicidal like laughter and say, "Well... shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

He looks at me in an angry and childish manner.

A smirk forms on my lips in which I quickly hide, straitening my expression to nothingness.

Garp steps in, "Well! Introduce yourselves!!" He barked, causing the eldest to look at me in such a manner I half expected a fire to start up at my feet.

The youngest then took the lead. "MY NAMES LUFFY!!! I know who you are!!"

I give him a small smile and nod, and then the yellow haired boy takes his turn, "My names Sabo." He says this in a pleasant tone ending it with a smile, I return the smile and the same gesture I gave Luffy.

The only one left was the eldest, I look at him, and he looks back at me, "And you?" I say with an extra, unnecessary, dose of innocence,

I received another melting glare.

I could feel Garp's anger radiating from where he stood behind me,

Finally, the stubborn boy spoke, "Ace..."

I nod, "And I," I bow, "Am Valdis Nyx."

I then turn off my voice, I haven't spoken this much in a long time... perhaps since him....

Then a woman came stomping from somewhere, bright orange hair and a cigarette in her mouth.

She began to speak with Garp.

I was preoccupied having a staring/glaring contest with Ace to eavesdrop, something I was skilled with.

Then a hand clamped on my shoulder, "And you'll take care of her!"

She seemed angry...

I silently slip away as the boys leave, I decide to follow them, I keep my distance as they make their way through the woods, I stay silent, my foot fall noiseless.

They were discussing something....

Me.

"She doesn't seem that bad..."

"She's talks funny!!"

"She's an annoying bitch."

May the gods help me so I don't kill that little....

No... be nice... nice......

"I like her!"

That kid's not half bad...

"She's not horrible."

That one isn't horrid himself...

"I hate her."

Deep breaths...

What's gotten into me?! I've always been cool, calm, and orderly.

I then hear a growl from behind me.

I tense slowly turning.

A looming tiger looks down upon me, snarling, fangs dripping with saliva and his fur matted.

I slowly back away, he comes closer, I crouch wrapping my fingers around a long stick.

The only odd thing was that the stick was shiny and scaly and moving in my hand.

The stick hissed.

I refused fear to take control, instead I throw the snake at the tiger and ran.

I hear an angry roar from behind me followed by a hiss.

I've completely blown my cover and I grab the three boys by the backs of their shirts dragging them behind me as I ran.

They protest and I ignore, I then skid to a stop and whip around, staring the beast in the eye as it ran towards us, his foot fall making the ground rumble and shake, but I look at it dead in the eye as it approached and held out a hand, flat and my palm pointed toward it.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YA DOIN?!" Yells Ace, tugging at the grasp I had on his collar.

I push them behind me,

The tiger was moments from mauling me.

It skid to a complete stop.

It then collapsed.

Dead.

side note:  the tiger Nyx just killed isn't the ones ASL fought its just a random tiger
