"AGH!"

CRASH!

"Ow...."

He winced, if only out of habit. This had happened enough times to no longer surprise him. Afterall, the reason behind his "pain" was very.....expressive.

"I thought I-I told you to...leave...."

Came a shaky yet surprisingly stern tone, an eyeless glare as piercing as the blade on the boy's hip directed straight at him.

"And I told you why I won't. I'm not going anywhere."

"W-why not!? I told you I just want to be left ALONE!"

"And I can't do that!"

"Why not?"

"I've been sent here to kill you, and yet I won't. I remember my coming, and what I seen. Not a monster, but someone in pain. A very beautiful someone."

He leaned forward, lifting her chin to get a better look at her.

 "And that someone is you, Fem the beast."
