Chapter five: What dragons do best

Back in the forest where the police lie in wait, Ren huddles in the bushes with the shades from nature covering him.

The tail that he barley casts in the shadows behind him begins to pull itself up from the ground and takes a form. A tall and thin man arises from the darkness with black hair draped over his grey skin and dark kimono. The creature from the shadows slowly creeps his black lips to Ren's ear without the slightest itch from the officer. In a casual voice, he quickly speaks into Ren's ear, "Hello."

Ren jerks his head to the sudden voice and hears a huff sound with a flash of green to his eyes. His face begins to burn like hell itself as he drops to the ground and begins to scream in utter pain. The flames of emerald spread all over his body and he begins to roll down the steep hill as he continues his exclamations of agony.

The man from the shades stares at his victim with disappointment and makes a comment, "Some people just don't know how to die properly."

Arikon hears the screaming and runs over to the place to see the man in the black robe. He points his gun at the stranger. "Halt!"

The person looks to Arikon with his dragon-like eyes. The deep red in his iris is painted around the thin purple pupils to give off a chilling glare.

Sheriff Arikon stumbles from this stare, but then immediately puts his gun up pointing to the odd person. "This is the police, put your hands in the air!"

----------

Suddenly, we both hear a faint scream coming from outside just beyond the door.

I rush over, but before I can lift the je-il Kakashin grabs me by the arm and pulls me back. "Let go of me!" I shout at him.

This time he has a terrified look on his face and says to me in a slightly quivering tone, "Trust me, you don't want to see this."

I'm getting tired of this! I pull my arm back and run out to see what happened. Down the hill, I see the police circling a strange-looking man. What's going on? Is that Kakashin's partner? I try to listen in on what the commotion is.

"Vila," Kakashin sneaks up to me and whispers in a shaking voice, "Please, come back into the house."

"Put them up!" Arikon shouts in frustration towards the man.

I can only see the back of the person, but he lifts his hands slowly just as he was told to do.

Arikon cautiously comes up to his side and grabs the man's wrist to pull it down after swiftly putting his handgun away. He takes the other hand and shackles him. The sheriff then turns with the man and sees me on top of the hill standing next to Kakashin. "I've got your accomplice under custody, I suggest we negotiate a little before either side makes a rash decision," He calls out to him.

Kakashin answers with a scared glimpse in his eye, "You've already made one..."

The accomplice quickly turns around to face Arikon and jabs two fingers into his throat.

But-how!? He was cuffed!

I can barely see what's going on from this distance, but that doesn't take away the shock that I have making a pit in my stomach right now...

Arikon is able to feel for the small dagger on his belt and takes it out to stab the person in the gut.

The accomplice takes the knife out with his free hand that's not lodged into Arikon's jugular and thrusts the blade into Arikon's belly. He pulls out his two fingers and lets his body drop.
