Juniper:
I slide into a booth in a bar. After many days of walking to village after village, I needed rest. I self consciously fluff my hood further down, covering most of my face. The bar tender walks over and places her hands in the counter expecting a request. "Just um, water?" I glance nervously at the others. "you sure?" The bar tender says stepping back. Everyones stares at me. They must have heard about the last massacre in the other village. Wary of strangers. Suddenly, I don't feel so safe. "Actually, Never mind..." I say and start backing away. A man gets up with an ax slung over his shoulder. "There was another killing last night. Same direction you came." He looked angrily at me. "My brother was killed there, you wouldn't know any information that would help us destroy this killer and avenge the murdered, would you?" He says, tapping his ax in his hand. I back away quicker. "No, sorry." I say rushed. He looks at me suspiciously. He aggressively grabs my arm. "You're hiding something, TELL ME!" He yells. I gasp and strongly wrench free. He looks at me in light shock. His grip was strong. I shouldn't have been able to get out that easily... They get suspicious. More people step up beside the man. I have to get out of here... This isn't a very friendly village... Four people grab to refrain me. I freak out, my emotions pushing to the surface. I get light headed and feel myself start to pass out. oh no, not again... I think and fall unconscious.Irelia:
I walk through the town and look at my bounty, "What kind of murderer are we dealing with?" I sigh as I continue through the town. I straighten out my collar covering my face. My hand shift the mask on my face and it clicks. "Just in case..." I quietly said. "Jarred better have a demon request when I get back. I'm tired of dealing with huma-" I stop talking, my eyes go wide. "No..." Suddenly a loud piercing scream went through my ears. "Are you okay?" A voice was heard through my intercom. "Yes. I have to go, we're dealing with something worse than a human." I say to him. "What?! Tel-" I disconnect him. He's going to kill me for that. I walk in the direction of the crowd running in the opposite direction. The crowd kept running In opposite directions I trudged through them trying to get my destination. People went around me after, "Look a demon hunter!" Someone shouted loudly. I started running, I don't want the attention. I need to handle this murderer. Something about this person is very off putting... Demon, murdered many villages. How can they live with themselves. I get to the area, a girl standing there with her claws out and bloodied. Men were around her, "I knew you were the one. You'll pay for this!" A man with a shovel shouted. The girl kept staring at the ground. The shadow and her bangs covering her eyes. "Back away. Now!" I sternly said with a strong voice. The men looked behind and stared at me with fright. "Her, for this? Let's get out of here!" A man shouted. "HALT." The man with a shovel shouted, he was probably the main of this village. "It's our village we stay and fight." He stated and stared at me confidently. I shook my head, "out of my way." I said whipping my katana out. I slashed it through the air which made a black mark in the air. They all fell to the ground. It was just for now... paralysis. The girl looked up at revealing her almost glowing green eyes. She started running at me, her hood fell of showing her furry ears. I ducked as she slid over me, I pulled my chain out and threw it around her. Pulling her to me a little closer, at an instant she broke out and ran faster at me. I jumped and threw a dagger at her shoulder. It hit her, fresh blood came out, my eyes went wide. " I knew it!" I said grimly, I jumped back a few metres and landed on my knees. The girl turns in my direction again. Ignoring the fact that my dagger is in her shoulder. I grin, "Hey you know how expensive those are?" I joke to myself quietly. I jump up and grab onto one of the poles of a roof and spin around. The demon tries To follow, I watch her sluggish movements. It looks like... I quickly jump down behind her and hit her with my hilt. She lets go of the railing and falls to the ground. She tries to steady herself, as she does her ears and tail finish retracting. My heart starts to beat... No way... It can't be. I knew something was off. I stepped back from her waiting for her to react to what she did to the men around her feet.
