The hybrid assassin / ON HOLD /

chapter 4

~Previously~

She had to hunt sooner or later so she decided to head back home as fast as she could, leaving through the same ally she had walked through to go to work, totally forgetting the scent she had smelt earlier that day.

Though it was too late for her, she was already on the floor before she had time to acknowledge what had happened, a large wound just underneath her shoulder blade.

"This is my territory... Who the hell do you think you are?"

~currently~

As Skara sat up she had glanced at the ghoul that had just struck her, nervous as she was rather weak due to the lack of flesh she had consumed. The male had his red bikaku thrashing around, his red and black eyes staring down at her in anger. before he got the chance to strike again she had gotten up and freed her kagune. The scent of the ghoul's flesh overflowing her nostrils as the hunger soon took control of young skara.

The night sky was scattered with stars as the moonlight illuminated the male in front of her. The man's build looked quite strong from what she could tell through the darkness that enclosed them. He appeared to be 6ft tall, much taller than the petite teenage girl. He looked to have darkish locks but she wasn't too sure. He maintained quite a threatening grin whilst both his eyes studied the girl.

When the young teen had fallen, she had torn her tights which showed the deep blackness that travelled up to her knees, black veins spreading the rest of the way up her legs to her waist. This annoyed Skara quite a bit as these were the only tights she had. she cracked her knuckles as she dusted the dirt off of her clothes. She wasn't intending on killing the ghoul in front of her, just taking a few bites of his flesh so she could survive a few more days without hunting too much. Without any warning, the young teen made a fast decision to knock him out as soon as she could, using her enhanced speed to dash behind the man, he was stunned for a split second due to the brash decision so suddenly, though he didn't turn around in time as her kagune came down harshly against the back of his neck, knocking him out instantly. As the man fell to the dirty ground, she sat on his back and leaned down to take a few bites of his shoulder, she heard the pattering of two sets of footsteps approaching her quickly, yet quietly, as if they were trying to be quiet; though she was too distracted with her hunger to pay that much attention, so she took her time in eating. A big mistake for her that she would definitely not learn from as she heard a small whisper and the footsteps stopping behind her. she took this as a chance to hurriedly sprint out of the ally, using her kagune as a boost to jump over a few buildings. Skara used one of her hands to cover her face in case somebody were to see and expose her true identity. 

Skara let out a whimper as she looked over to her now healing shoulder, luckily she had other shirts she could wear for work; also wondering about how she was supposed to hide her legs if she was to get hungry or annoyed during school. she just shook her head as she decided to skip her first lesson to go buy some extra pairs of tights and some thigh high stockings. Once she had returned to her small one-bedroom apartment she made her way straight to the bathroom to bathe, just to relax her muscles as her arms and legs started to bruise as the blackness faded back to her fingertips and feet.  

She stripped her clothes off after she had finished running her bubble bath. Carefully lifting herself into the tub, the many scars that littered her body were a sickly pink colour, some were a pale white, and the deeper ones were a dark purple. Her shoulder was healing beautifully as she laid on her back, the boiling water engulfing her body in the warmth as she closed her tired eyes so she could relax a bit more.

~~~~Time skip to the next day~~~~

Skara had woken up two hours before school, so she had time to curl her hair, and get dressed in some skinny jeans and a white bodysuit that fit her nicely, putting on her black, leather jacket and her Dr. martins; Afterwards she strolled into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. Once she finished up in the bathroom she walked into her bedroom to check she had her money. When Skara was ready to leave she opened her door and locked it behind her, the dark morning sky was beautiful in her opinion, the sun just starting to creep over the horizon; creating this gorgeous view from miles away. Sadly she had to focus on the streets to make sure she was safe from harms' way.  Skara casually paced in the way of the clothing stores that she would buy new tights from, maybe even some more clothes as she didn't have many clothing items that fit her anymore. Since she didn't learn her lesson from the previous night, she wandered into an ally to make her journey quicker. She was distracted with the thought of how many cute outfits she could piece together, yet at the same time about maybe even finding a new song for herself to learn to play on violin. As she was thinking about all these things, she bumped into somebody by accident. 

"Oh gosh I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to walk into you! I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." she apologised rather quickly as she bowed with an embarrassed blush scouting her pale cheeks.

The being took her by the shoulders gently and straightened her up. "T-t-there's no n-need to a-apologise."
