Cat Lady [closed for joining]

[Alana Summers]

[Open to one person]

The afternoon sun was covered by clouds, making the weather colder then usual. A small amount of wind blew into the park, making those without coats shiver. Alana's red hair was pinned away from her face with a bunch of white hair clips. Her brown sweater kept the warmth in, and shielded her from the wind. She wore a pair of light grey yoga pants and lastly a pair a black boots. In her pale hands was the ring to a black leash that lead to a halter. In the halter was her three-year-old black cat named Faze.

Unlike most cats, Faze loved to go for walks and explore, especially in the park. Alana simply couldn't say no to leaving the black tom behind in her home. She hated the idea of him getting lonely, the idea even bothered her at times. Her reddish, brown eyes wondered down and glanced at Faze. The black cat seemed to be enjoying his little adventure in Rose Park. Alana smiled, and went on to scan her surroundings.

There were trees, flower beds and of course the small playground for the children. Alana ignored the nature and snapped her eyes on the playground. She saw a bench occupied by two woman, presumably both mothers, while three kids, one older and two roughly the same aged, played happily. One of the kids very much resembled one of the ladies, while the other two only had slight features of resemblance. Alana watched them for a few moments until she heard Faze meow. She glanced back at the cat, who was sitting by a bench himself.

Despite the fact that animals can't talk, Alana took it as a resting time. She sat down at on the bench and brought her pale hand down to meet Faze's ear. She scratched behind his ear, making the cat purr. She sat there, quietly scratching behind the cat's ear.

[Sammy Linsen]

Sammy was walking through the park, enjoying the cool air blowing through her hair. It's a bit chilly today, hopefully that means that there won't be as many people here today. Brushing her hair from her face, she blew out slowly, her warm breath leaving a small cloud in the air. She looks around and sees, to her disappointment, that there were several children and a couple of mothers hanging around the playground. I'll just have to avoid that part of the park then. She thought to herself.

Pulling her jacket closed, she shakes her head and looks around for a place to sit. It  doesn't look very crowded, but it seems as if all of the benches are full. She thinks disappointed. Turning to leave, she sees a young woman dressed in a brown sweater with a cat sitting on the ground next to the bench. Mostly empty. Good enough I guess. Turning down music a bit, she walks over to the bench and looks the young woman in the eyes. She points at the bench and raises her eyebrow in question as if to ask if it was okay to sit there. Sammy's  face looked calm and neutral, but her eyes showed kindness. 

I don't want to seem rude, but then again I also don't wanna look soft. She mentally rolled her eyes at those thoughts and stood there, patiently waiting for a response from the young woman. She looks nice enough, but she seems a bit too serious at the same time. Kind of like me. We could probably get along nicely, If I was looking for friends that is. Sammy almost smacked herself. What am I doing? She thinks. Am I going soft? I need to stop being around people so often or I might start getting touchy feely. Sammy shivers at that thought. She preferred not to get too close to people for fear of them getting taken away from her or leaving her. 

[Alana Summers]

A slight smile had spread over Alana's face. Feeling Faze's soft fur always made her very happy. The purrs reached her ears, letting her know that Faze was pleased with the gentle petting. However, this smile faded as she heard footsteps. Alana lifted her head, her reddish, brown eyes seeing a lady with red hair and two different coloured eyes. Alana scanned each, noticing that the colours were very abnormal, one being violet, the other black. The pair of eyes looked straight into Alana's, but this didn't bother her at all. Her reddish eyes kept the gaze, as though looking away was punishable. They only glanced off a few times to look over the girl who was in front of her. Alana took note of the headphones in the girl's ears. Instead of simply asking to sit down, the young lady gestured to the bench with a questioning look.

Alana presumed the girl wanted to sit down, and was simply too kind or passive to do so without permission. She might be mute also, since she has yet to speak. Alana thought, assuming the unlikely. She simply nodded to the girl to give her the permission to take a seat. Afterwards, Alana glanced at Faze to see the black cat curiously looking at the girl who'd arrived. His yellow eyes were beaming at her as he watched the girl. With a slow hand, Alana reached down and patted the cat's head. Faze flinched for a moment from surprise, until noticing it was just his owner.

Alana's hand reached down and lifted the cat onto her lap. Faze released a quiet mew while he was being lifted. Once placed on Alana's lap, he laid down and purred with delight. Alana stroked the black cat, then glanced at the girl. "Would you like to pet him?" Alana asked. Faze had been curious in the girl, and Alana was certain he wouldn't mind the extra attention.

[Sammy Linsen]

The young woman nodded in response and Sammy sat down. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath and released it slowly. She seems nice. She thought to herself. The young woman had looked her in the eyes and had not flinched at the sight of their unusual colours. Interesting, she didn't seem fazed by my eye colours, but maybe that's because hers are red. I don't really care though. Sammy crossed her right leg over her left and folded her hands on her lap. Leaning back against the bench, she let the melody wash over her as she calmly swayed back and forth. 


She let her thoughts wander and she remembered the look on the woman's face as she pet her cat. She must really like that cat. She thought and it almost brought a smile to her face. Sammy opened her eyes and looked back over to the girl. She was petting her cat again and she looked very happy. That's nice. She had brought the cat onto her lap and it had lain down. Sammy adjusted her hair to make sure it covered her cat ears and looked back down at the cat. It had lain on its stomach and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the attention from it's owner.

Sammy was about to close her eyes again and turn up her music, when the woman looked up and her and asked if she wanted to pet the cat. Sammy thought for a moment before shrugging. "Sure, he seems nice enough. What's his name?" She asked curiously. Sammy had been quiet fond of cats, though she didn't much like the ears and tail she had. Cats had always seemed graceful and connected with everything. It can't hurt to pet her cat. Sammy reached over and gently scratched the cats back before looking over at the woman. "My name's Sammy, what about you?" Sammy didn't know why she had introduced herself,  but decided to just go with it. 

[Alana Summers]

Alana flicked the hair that was blown into her face out of the way while she waited for an answer from the girl. Despite the vast assortment of clips that were meant to hold the hair back, it still flopped down into her face at times. The warmth that came from Faze's body kept her lap warm, which made her smile continue. Alana received an answer from the girl along with a question about her cat. "His name is Faze," Alana answered.

Faze purred a little bit louder as the girl's hand scratched his back. Alana didn't mind letting strangers pet him, as long as they were gentle. The girl introduced herself as Sammy, and asked for Alana's name in return. "I am Alana," she stated simply. Her reddish eyes wandered up to look at the playground. The kids were still screaming like they would and playing their games. Not the best place to rest, but I suppose it could be worst. Alana thought as her eyes went back to Faze.

[Sammy Linsen]

Sammy watched as the woman pushed the hair from her face, her smile was bright and she seemed very happy. Must be nice. The cat was quite warm and Sammy thoroughly enjoyed stroking it's soft fur. "His name is Faze." The woman said, in response to her question. She nodded and replied. "Quite a nice name. He's very beautiful." The compliment was sincere, but it had surprised Sammy. She wasn't used to saying things like that. Well this is going to be an interesting day. She thought with intrigue. The cat had been purring softly and it's volume increased as Sammy scratched his back. Nice cat. Maybe I should get one. 

"I am Alana." She said calmly. Her eyes wandered and Sammy followed her gaze. They were looking at the playground, as the kids were running and screaming. This slightly irritated Sammy. Children are so loud. I hope I never have any. She thought while mentally rolling her eyes at the noisy children. The woman, Alana as she had introduced herself just moments earlier, looked back down at the cat. Sammy blew the hair out of her eyes and tilted her head. The cat was very friendly and Alana didn't seem to mind letting strangers pet him. This made Sammy wonder if she was any good with children. Maybe she could help me understand how to take care of my occasionally annoying siblings. That is if we ever meet up again. Sammy shrugged off the thought and returned her gaze to the cat in front of her.

"It's nice meeting you Alana. Where did you get Faze? He seems like a nice cat." Sammy wasn't very good at making conversation, but decided to try for the sake of the nice woman with the cat. Alana seemed to be in her late teens early twenties, with longish red hair, and red eyes. Her height and weight were indecipherable though, which confused Sammy. She was usually good at these things, but she wasn't worried. She closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling of the cat's soft fur beneath her fingers and the rumble as it purred.

[Alana Summers]

Alana's pale hands rubbed together for warmth against the wind. Her fingers stung a little from the wind's cold, forcing her to wriggle her hands into her sleeves. Faze was rumbling happily on her lap as the girl pet him. It would be soon that Alana would have to take him home, so Faze could be warm as well, but for now he seemed fine. Sammy commented on Faze's name, and Alana just nodded her thanks.

Alana noticed Faze's tail twitching as he laid on her lap. There was a slight paranoia that stirred in Alana as she sat on the wood chipped bench. The girl beside her just asked another question, snapping Alana away from her senses. "I got him at an animal shelter in town. He was only a kitten then," Alana said thoughtfully. His reddish eyes did a full scan of the park, but saw no Darkness or anything else that would stir trouble.

Oh well, guess I am just a little bit too paranoid, Alana thought, shrugging it off. "So, do you have any pets, Sammy?" Alana asked curiously. She didn't like big dogs that much, but cats is what Alana loved. They were calm or they were as energetic as possible, they liked to lay with their owners, and Alana could easily keep faze out of trouble. Her gaze was on Faze as she scratched his head.

[Sammy Linsen]

Alana rubbed her hands together, she looked cold and Sammy felt the cool air blow across her face. Alana looked to be in thought and Sammy wondered what she might be thinking about. Probably something about her life. Her thoughts are none of my business. She looked down at the cat and almost smiled. It was nice to have something soft to pet. I'm definitely getting a cat when I leave. A leaf fell from one of the trees and blew gently past her face. Sammy admired the beauty of the colourful park. Flowers, trees bushes. Everything was brightly coloured and that was one of the reasons Sammy loved visiting the park.

Alana nodded at Sammy's compliment on Faze's name and she nodded back. Breathing in the cool air, Sammy smelled the sweet scent of the flowers as it floated through the air. She felt a slight movement under her hand and glanced down, the cat had twitched and she didn't know why, but she brushed it off. She looked back at Alana, her question seemed to have snapped her out of her thoughts.  "I got him at an animal shelter in town. He was only a kitten then." She replied. Sammy nodded and blew out a breath. There's an animal shelter in town? I'll have to visit it when I leave. A cat would be a nice pet. 

Alana looked uneasy for a moment before shrugging off whatever had worried her. "So, do you have any pets, Sammy?" She blinked in surprise. She had been lost in thought and Alana's question had snapped her out of them so fast that Sammy almost flinched. She shook her head "Nope. My parents don't much like animals, but I'm sure they wouldn't care if I got one. Also, my little siblings might tear it apart if I got one. I might stop at the animal shelter on my way home though." She replied, and watched as Alana scratched Faze's head. I would love to have someone that loyal to me. Sammy mentally smacked herself. Don't go soft you idiot. 

 

[Alana Summers]

Alana wasn't usually paranoid, but she found herself taking a quick glance at the afternoon sun. Clouds were drawing close to the sun. Once they reached where the light was, the park turned dark and cold. Alana scanned the clouds, taking note of their dark look. Perhaps there will be some rain. Alana thought released an inward sigh. She liked the rain, but if it began to pour she would have to take Faze home so he didn't get soaked. Alana looked around a little, taking note of a tree only a few meters away.

The tree had bright green leaves with branches that seemed to weave together. It seemed like a suitable place to go if the rain began to pour. Her focus went back to Sammy when she began to speak again. The girl spoke of how her parents didn't like animal much and how her siblings would tear the poor thing apart. At least someone has a happy family. Alana thought as her memories brought forth a haunting day. She shivered at the memory of her parents corpses.

"They do have a lot of animals there. A good place to adopt one," Alana commented. She remembered the day when she had entered the shelter. There were so many kind faces who greeted her and showed her around. Alana's reddish, brown eyes once again glanced towards the playground. There was nothing out of the ordinary, the children were playing while the mothers talked and watched.

[Sammy Linsen]

A shadow moved across Sammy's vision and she looked up. Clouds were moving towards the sun, covering it. This caused the park to get slightly darker and without the warmth from it's rays, the air got colder. She paid no mind to this and continued petting the warm cat's soft fur. The sky was dark, but that didn't dampen Sammy's mood. She quite enjoyed the dark, it was quiet and calming. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening them and slowly releasing the air from her lungs. It looks like it might rain. She scratched the back of her neck, lost in thought. The cat ears hidden beneath her hair twitched slightly with every little noise and this irritated her. She shifted her position so that she was facing Alana and Faze. They were both calm. Alana seemed just as lost in thought as Sammy was.

The cold crept slowly through Sammy's jacket and she suppressed a shiver. Sammy watched as Alana looked around the park and her gaze stopped on a tall, leafy tree. Probably seeking shelter for if it rains. Sammy's comment on her family seemed to awaken Alana from her thoughts. She listened quietly and then nodded before returning to her thoughts. Sammy nodded back and leaned against the back of the bench. Turning up her music a bit, she let the melody wash over her and the corners of her mouth twitched into the beginnings of a smile. Suddenly Alana shivered and Sammy watched, concerned. She looks cold, but that shiver wasn't because of the wind. She seemed a bit disturbed by something. 


She was about to ask if Alana was okay, when she spoke. "They do have a lot of animals there. A good place to adopt one" Sammy listened quietly before replying. "I bet. Do you have any recommendations for animals to adopt?" Alana's eyes flicked about and Sammy blinked slowly. She seemed paranoid, but about what? Sammy didn't know, but she wanted to find out. She had been acting a bit strange the last couple of minutes. Ever since the cat had flinched. Maybe the cat does that when he thinks somethings wrong. It might be some kinda signal between owner and pet that tells the other that something might be wrong. Sammy shrugged, but didn't push the thoughts from her mind. She was naturally curious and quietly contemplated asking about the suspicious way she was acting. 

[Alana Summers]

The now gloomy atmosphere and Alana's paranoia didn't go hand and hand. She found that her reddish eyes couldn't stop gazing around the park, and her nerves itched with concern. The wind continued to tear away at the warmth barrier that was her sweater, but had picked up since the arrival of the clouds. Faze stirred in concern on her lap, making it clear that he had the same concerns. Something's wrong, but I can't just jump to conclusions quite yet. Alana thought, pushing her nerves back and focusing on her senses.

Her reddish eyes trailed back to Sammy, who still seemed content about the conversation's topic. She even casually asked for advice about what kind of animal to adopt. "It really depends on the type of person you are," Alana explained, then elaborated on her point. "If your the energetic and playful type, a dog maybe more you style, while those who are calm may prefer something like a fish." That was when she heard it, a scream. The scream was high pitch and could be very easily described as a child's scream. Alana's head snapped back towards the playground at a quick rate.

Her eyes caught the form of Darkness of the Troublemaker variety. A face once full of cheerfulness switched to pure seriousness with touches of anger. Alana had learned to control her anger of course, since fighting while angry didn't help anyone. Alana's hands quickly wrapped around Faze, shoving him towards Sammy. "Hold Faze, I will be back." With Faze off her lap, she stood, right hand outstretched as it summoned the black scythe. There was a dark void for a second before the scythe appeared in the grasp of her right hand. Alana's eyes watched as the pair of Troublemakers closed in on the children and the mothers screamed helplessly.

The female chaser launched forward, her figure there one moment and a few yards forward the next. She swung her black scythe low, hitting the first Troublemaker in the legs. It toppled downward, but not without swinging it's arms at her in hopes to get a lucky hit. The second attempted to hit her right side, but Alana wouldn't care much. The Troublemaker swung its' arm at her right, sending her to fall a few feet away.

[Sammy Linsen]

Alana seemed worried and Sammy narrowed her eyes in concern. The air had changed. The wind blew harder, breaking straight through the warmth of her jacket. She continued petting the cat as if nothing had happened. She wanted whatever it was to seem to catch her off guard, but she was ready. Her free hand had moved to her belt, where she kept a dagger hidden in case of emergencies. She kept her hand there, relaxed, so as not to seem suspicious. The wind whipped her hair around. It smacked her in the face and she moved her hand from the dagger and pushed her hair from her face, in order to see better.

As soon as she removed her hand, all Hell broke loose. A scream came from the direction of the playground and she bolted up. Taking in the scene, she saw Darkness spilling from the trees in the form of troublemakers. Alana had been talking earlier,but Sammy had tuned her out. She had been too busy keeping an eye on everything. Looking at Alana, she saw the woman's face go from cheerful to dead serious in less than a second. She seemed angry and quickly shoved the cat into her lap. "Hold Faze, I will be back." Sammy flinched and blinked in surprise. Alana held out her hand and a scythe appeared. She then ran over to the playground and began fighting. 

She had been doing fine until one of them had knocked her off her feet. Sammy immediately snapped out of her thoughts and jumped up, setting the cat on the bench. She ran over to the playground, pulling out her dagger along the way and began slashing at the creatures. She killed a couple and made her way over to Alana, helping her up. Then she turned around and began slashing at Troublemakers again, until one of them knocked her dagger out of her hand. She bent over to pick it up, but one of them jumped on her back and screwed with her balance. She fell to the ground and more jumped on her. 

Suddenly another scream pierced the air and she rolled over quickly, slashing and ducking. Jumping up she looked around. There was nothing there. She couldn't see anything. Hesitating slightly, she uncovered her cat ears and stretched them out. She listened closely and heard a small sound. There was whimpering coming from nearby. She looked up and saw a small kid, about 4 or 5, she had small blonde pigtails, and a blue jumper on. She looked absolutely terrified and Sammy looked up sadly. She cleared away the Troublemakers near the tree and grabbed the kid. Putting her on her shoulders, she waded through the crowd of Darkness and set her down on the bench next to Faze. "I'm gonna go get rid of the bad monsters okay? I'll be back soon. STay here with the kitty and yo'll be fine." 

[Alana Summers]

The hand that had slammed into Alana's right hadn't hurt her that much. Her high endurance making it only sting a little bit. She landed on her right shoulder, but her hand managed to keep the grip on her scythe. The pain was mild if anything, and didn't even bother Alana one bit. She was about to heave herself off of the ground when Sammy came to help her. With a pale hand, Alana waved the girl away. She was up on her own two feet in a matter of moments. "I am fine. I can take more hits then most," Alana explained quickly.

Once up, one of the Troublemakers tried to slam down, but Alana had her scythe up. The scythe was the only thing keeping the Troublemaker's paws from colliding with her. Her eyes glanced, and saw Sammy go down out of the corner of her left. With quick movement, Alana drew her scythe back, dodging left of the Troublemaker's outstretched hands. Once out of danger's path, Alana brought her scythe around in a high swing that nailed the creature in the head. For a moment the creature screeched in pain before turning limp. The body of the Darkness disappeared due to its' defeat.

Alana turned, finding her next opponent in a mid-swing. She teleported out of the way, and ended up at the creatures right. Her eyes glanced back at another of the creatures, its' arms out-stretched to grab her. Alana gabbed the butt of her scythe into the creatures stomach as hard as she could. The Troublemaker behind her stumbled backwards. The once in front of her went to swing, but Alana slashed its' stomach. The creature screeched in pain, gripping its' wounded stomach. She brought her scythe up and slammed it down on the creature's head. It too went limp, and dissolved from existence.

Alana heard the scream, and already saw Sammy bobbing up with a child on her shoulders. The Troublemaker behind her went for a hit, but Alana teleported and hit the creature in the neck, taking off its' head. The body disappeared again, and the Chaser known as the Reaper continued her Darkness killing spree. Alana's serious eyes gazed over the remaining Troublemakers, taking count. Six left, and a good few down. Alana's mind counted, and she immediately went back to work. Her eyes glanced at the bench, catching Sammy putting the kid down. Alana continued with the closest Troublemaker, bring her scythe to hit it, but the creature dodged. It brought its' arm towards her side, trying to get a hit on Alana.

[Sammy Linsen]

Sammy turned back to the battle and saw a Troublemaker dodge Alana's swing and go for an attack, but she slowed down time and ran back, jabbing her dagger into its stomach. It screamed in agony and exploded into dust. Her power wore out and another creature slashed at her, carving 3 deep gashes into her arm. She  cursed under her breath, using a few extremely explicit words and slashed a long gash into its stomach. Kicking it hard, she sent it flying into the nearest tree and threw her dagger. It landed square between its eyes and it exploded. Her dagger flew back into her hand and she continued slashing. There were two left and she looked over to Alana. She seemed to be faring quite well and Sammy nodded.

She went for one of them while the other rushed Alana. Her arm bled profusely and she blinked, putting the Troublemaker in the center of her vision. She lined up the shot and threw the dagger hard, it landed right where its heart would be, if it had one. It exploded into dust and Sammy turned back to Alana again. Ah, she's fine. She walked over and leaned hard on the tree. She was about to close her eyes when she remembered the little girl. Turning around quickly, she rushed back to the bench. The little girl had pressed herself tightly against the back and was holding onto Faze for dear life. The poor child looked frightened out of her mind and being covered in blood, holding a dagger probably didn't help. She sheathed her weapon, her gaze softening. "Hey, hey, shhh it's okay." The child was sobbing and Sammy patted her back gently. "Come here" She pulled the child into an embrace and pulled herself onto the bench. 

"It's okay now, don't worry. I'm Sammy what's your name?" She reassured the child, rubbing circles on her back till she calmed down. "M-my name is A-Ally." She stuttered, her voice shaky and hoarse from crying. " Nice to meet you Ally, you're safe now. Where's your parents?" This set her off again and Sammy's brow creased with worry. "I-I don't know. One day I woke up and they were laying in bed, they were cold and there was red, sticky stuff everywhere." She looked at Ally in horror. The poor kid had found her parents dead and she was all by herself. "What about Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents." Ally shook her head sadly. "Mommy and Daddy were only children." She replied.

Sammy nodded slowly and looked up to see what Alana was doing. "Who do you live with then?" She shifted and Sammy looked down again. She pressed her face into Sammy's chest and mumbled something. "What was that?" She asked. Lifting her head slightly she whispered. "Nobody" She shook her head sadly and hugged Ally. "That's terrible, where do you sleep? How do you eat?" She was curious as to how the kid survived and she patted her back gently. Ally didn't answer, she just pressed her face into Sammy's jacket and shivered. "Her face softened again and she pulled off her jacket, wrapping it around her small figure. Hoping it would provide some warmth for the poor shivering child. 

She shook her head again and held the kid close to her chest in a protective manner. She decided to take the child in. Her family had plenty of money and her parents wouldn't even notice if there was another child in the house, so there was no chance Social Services would take her. A smile appeared on Sammy's face as she held Ally. She was happy. It had been awhile since she was this happy and it felt good. She sat on the bench rocking back and forth until Ally's breathing became quiet and even. It was at this time that Faze decided to rub himself against Sammy's arm and she reached down and scratched behind his ears. "Good job keeping her company. You're a good friend." 

[Alana Summers]

Alana was about to step back from the Troublemaker to recalculate the next swing, but there was a blur and the Troublemaker screeched in pain. Next a scarlet colour appeared as Sammy's face reappeared properly. It was easy for Alana to presume that the girl had a power of her own. In moments Sammy headed back towards Faze and the terrified little girl. The Chaser had no reason to stop her Darkness slaughter, thus she went back to work. She swung at the closest one who had outstretched arms to try and grab her. With quick movements, the Troublemaker went to protect its' stomach, making Alana's hit only a deep cut to the arms.

Alana uttered an inaudible swear as Alana pulled her scythe out of the Troublemaker's arms. The Troublemaker screamed all the while, getting the attention of its' partner. The second came rushing at her, arms out to jab its' small claws at her. Alana leaned back, narrowly dodging the claws of the creature. The first grabbed at her scythe, trying its' best to get it out of her grip. She already knew that in this position, she couldn't do a thing if the second tried to hit her. With that, Alana teleported, keeping a firm grip on the scythe as she went to the side of the first.

She was slowly getting more and more exhausted as she hacked away at the smart pair. However, the teleport allowed her a death blow on the first. She hit it square in the face, making the creature explode into black dust. The second, in an infuriated attempt, charged at her, forcing her to put her scythe up in protection. She fell onto her back, having a plan to stun the creature away from her. The Troublemaker seemed rather pleased over the fact it had made a Chaser fall, but had no clue what was to come. Alana drew both her feet together and kicked the Troublemaker in the stomach.

The creature released her scythe and stumbled backwards. Alana jumped to her feet and swung her scythe at the Troublemaker's head. The Troublemaker dodged and landed a hit on her left cheek. Three small cuts formed, but nothing of any worry to Alana. Ignoring the scratches, lifted her scythe above her head and hit the creature on the top of the head. The creature exploded into dust, leaving the Chaser with her scythe in hand. Some of the black dust was on her scythe, sticking to it like glue. Alana sighed, holding her scythe up so it disappeared from view. There were no more of the creatures to fight for now.

Alana strolled back, feeling slight soreness in her muscles from the fight. She walked back to the bench, her left cheek bleeding a little as she did so. Her pale hand plunged into one of her pockets, producing a kleenex. She brought it to the three thin cuts on her face, soaking up the small amounts of blood. "Well, that was intense, but not much of a challenge." Alana said quietly, her Chaser experience making this seem like a walk in the park. Her reddish eyes glanced at the girl who was holding Faze. She was holding him a bit tight, but the cat sustained from squirming or lashing his claws at the girl. "And who may this be?" Alana asked Sammy.
