Easy Cash

[David Nero]

As David arrived to the hotel he felt his stomach pulsing. “ Oh here it comes...” He tried holding it, but soon enough he gave up. He hold on to some motorbike, before bending over himself and puking, not even having the trouble checking who it belonged to. Luckily, the mixture didn't touch the vehicle, only some homeless guys shoes. David cleaned his mouth with his sleeve, and smiled relieved “ Much better.”

He walked into the old lobby, bending over the balcony, the receptionist looked at him with a frowned face. “ Room 21, do you need me to reach the key for you?” David smiled rudely, moving his fingers, mocking the poor man who lacked one them. The man looked angrily at David, before handing him the key. “ Oh don't look at me like, you probably deserved it.” This said, David turned his back, leaving the money on the counter.

He stopped at the entrance of his room, trying to feet the key in the lock. After many failed tries, a woman spoke, almost screamed a phew feet away from him “Hey! That's...that's my bag!” David turned his head slightly, eyes narrowed. He saw a highly dressed female, followed by some men pointing to someone. The elemental moved his head slightly to catch a glimpse of familiar face. David smirked seeing Austen. He dropped his arms from the door, getting closer to this happy family.

[Austen Sionis]

She couldn't believe it. The woman was drunk and yet was still demanding for her bag. Didn't she ever hear of the saying: "Finders Keepers"? Her eyes narrowed as the bag hung on her shoulder.

"Awe suga' pop, then come take it." Her voice sounded so seductive, yet her eyes seemed cold and dangerous. She smirked as two of the men walked towards her, ready to take it from her. A giggle bypassed her lips before she licked them. This would be easy. As one quickly reached forward, her left hand reached up and grabbed his wrist, snapping the bones underneath without having any noise happen. The scream that erupted from his lips seemed to make him sound insane; for all anyone could see, she had simply touched him and he was on the ground screaming like she had stabbed him in the gut over and over. The other man ran at her, swinging his fists. The first swing caught her off guard, causing her face to whip to the side from the hit.

Her eyes narrowed and she dropped down, twirling around while kicking out her leg. The man tripped under her leg and fell to the ground. She jabbed her elbow into the man's eye and jumped up, backing up and allowing the others to make their way towards her. In her right hand, she held the key to her room. Maybe she was able to get to her hotel room without hurting any more people. Slowly, she looked over and noticed the man she had been talking too earlier. Of all people, she ran into him again? So soon? Hmm..

A smirk made its way across her lips. "Well hey there stranger. Mind helping out a fellow lady?"

[David Nero]

David watched, Austen quickly grabbed a man's wrist and soon the big ape was on the floor rolling in pain. “ What the-?” David mumbled. How was that possible, she just touched him. While the elemental debated on this matter she saw a fist hitting Austen's face, shaking the boy from his thoughts. David felt a protective side kicking in, making him run towards the confusion, but as he arrived Austen had already knock her attacker out. “ Well hey there stranger. Mind helping out a fellow lady?” The elemental smirked, as small electricity sparks started tangling between his fingers.

“ My pleasure.” One of the gorillas started running again towards Austen, but quickly David stopped right between him and his target, without saying anything David placed his hands around his neck making the man spasm and fall on the ground, yet still awake. Just like David wanted. He sat on top of the gorilla speaking “ You know, where I'm from, hitting girls is wrong...Unless they're into that sort of thing... well, but that's a another case. Anyway.” David stopped on his thoughts before he got of track, and quickly stuck his two fingers on the man's eyes, freezing his eyeballs. The man jumped up, screaming, covering his face and running bumping into tables and people. David was laughing at the sad man when suddenly a violent punch knocked him to ground.

[Austen Sionis]

Her cheek stung from where the man had hit her, but she held it in. Besides, it only stung for a few seconds before her anger kicked in. A human, hitting her? Unspeakable! Her eyes narrowed, only to widen when she heard the man agree to helping. He stepped between herself and one of her attackers, while the woman stood back watching. Her beef wasn't with the men, it was with her.

"You know, where I'm from, hitting girls is wrong...Unless they're into that sort of thing... well, but that's a another case. Anyway." He had easily taken the man out with no ease. Maybe he was stronger than she assumed back at the bar. The man underneath him started screaming, like David had struck him with lightning or something like that.

She raised her eyebrow from the scene, but kept her guard up. Either she backs out and runs to her hotel room, hoping she can unlock the door before someone tried to grab her, or she stay in, fighting alongside the man that willingly fought to help her.

She noticed him getting punched. He had jumped in to help, so her choice was made for her.

Fighting it was.

Flipping over the fallen man, she caught the heel of her boot under the fighter's jaw, knocking him backwards. She landed on her feet and slammed her fist against the side of the man's face, making it slam against the pole besides them. As the man slowly crumbled to the floor, she slipped her hand into the back pocket of her skirt. The brass knuckles were in her hand as she pulled them out, slipping them on each knuckle. The fighting would end here and now.

She always was an impatient bitch. She'd never change. One of the two men left near the lone sluttish-looking woman made their way towards her. Those two were a bit larger than the rest. It'd take a bit to knock them down. Her left foot went back, landing a few inches from hitting David's-er-'knockers' as she braced herself. This man was about to charge, and she was about to attack. No more being nice. They had brought out her bad side, the pissed off side she happened to love to bring out.

Her voice came out seductive, deadly. As she spoke, something shiny could be seen past her full lips. Something that caused the large overgrown monkey to stop in his tracks from advancing. "Time to have some fun boys. Let's play who falls first?"

[David Nero]

The time David laid helpless on the floor, was the time that Austen took to knock another one the fighter's over. The taste blood filling his mouth made him take his hand to his lips verifying the punch had punctured his bottom lip. He would heal it later on, now he was determined to finish this. The elemental lifted his body supporting on his elbows, only to see Austen's heel almost murdering his manhood. David's eyes widen at the scary sight, he sighed in relief as he realized his nuts were safe.

He jumped up, not wanting to risk Austen reminding to take a step back. He stood by her side, looking over to the two gorillas that were left and the woman. From the corner of his eye, David glanced at Austen, realizing she was ready to fight as well. " Ready when you are. " If David wanted he could just finish the guys off right now, but that would imply having to fire electricity from his hands to his target, and in a hotel full of human people that wouldn't be a show they should watch. He should only use his powers discreetly, thus a fist fight would guarantee more discretion, since he could apply his powers without notice.

David waited for one the guys came running towards him ready to punch the elemental. Predicting the lame move, David crouched getting the opportunity to punch his stomach, jumping up again sticking his elbow behind the man's neck, who fell to the ground before trying to grab David's ankle, a mistake he would regret. Suddenly the man's body started shaking and his eyes rolled on to his skull, from the outside it seemed like the man was having seizure that lasted ten seconds. When the male rested unconscious David released his ankle from the man's hand, and cleaned his lip that kept on bleeding.

[Austen Sionis]

A smirk spread across her lips while David took out one of the men. Few down, one left. And the woman was all hers, being that she was the one to provoke it. With confidence, she made her way towards the large man, the brass knuckles in their proper place.

"What about you, dumbass? Wanna' play?" The man advanced towards her as she twirled around and raised her right leg, her foot smashing against the man's throat, cutting his air supply short for a split second, enough time for him to lean forward and cough multiple times. Acting lowly on instinct, she grabbed the man's shoulders and crunched them, sending pain to shoot through his entire body. Reaching up, she cracked his neck to where he'd go unconscious. Taking her eyes off of the falling man, she placed them upon the woman.

"Your turn to play." She advanced towards the girl, her eyes glistening with hunger. She was the hunter, and this was her pathetic prey for the night.

[David Nero]

David's eyes jumped while he watched the girl finishing the last man. Austen wasn't a regular girl who sings at some dirty clubs, the agility she showed when fighting clearly wasn't human. He started now wondering the nature of the attractive girl. A demon, maybe? A vampire? David prayed she wasn't a demon, it was a hateful species, they're were some arrogant son of the bitches... At least in David's opinion, as the time passed he learned the evil ways of demons in the worst way possible.

He was ripped of his thoughts as Austen voice echoed in this head “Your turn to play” She said as she got closer to the pathetic woman that started all of that, but that hadn't moved a finger during this whole scene. David stayed motionless, he knew perfectly Austen would like to take care of the woman herself and didn't intend to join in, the fight was unfair enough for the human female. The only thing David was ready to do was to prevent Austen from killing the girl, it was a mess truly unnecessary, and since he was almost a hundred percent sure she wasn't human, it would be quite an easy task. So the elemental decided to stay back, cleaning his bloody lip, ready to grab Austen if she got a little to excited.

[Austen Sionis]

She slowly advanced towards the girl, walking towards her as her eyes glistened dangerously. The woman, as slutty as she seemed, was quite attractive if she were not to wear so much make-up. The eyes however, they were beautiful. Austen smirked. Maybe she could keep the eyes as a trophy for this wonderful hunt?

Slowly, the girl backed up, seeing the look within Austen's eyes, showing she would kill the woman. She might not kill her tonight, but she would kill her some day. Looking over her shoulder, she saw David's eyes staring at her. Narrowing her own, she looked back at the woman and smirked. She would live for the night, but only tonight. Turning on her heel, she went to walk over to David to offer a hand when the woman screamed and ran at her. The woman, obviously nuts, reached out to grab onto Austen's hair, only for her to whip around and slam her brass knuckled fist into the lady's jaw, causing her to fly back and her head slamming against the pole.

"Grasso Bastardo." She mumbled while looking at the woman before turning and offering a hand for the man to grab, a smirk over her lips.

[David Nero]

David lip kept on dripping blood. It had been a hell of a punch. It all seemed to calm down, David looked around to see all the amusing humans staring back at that lovely scene, baffled by such thing. How did two young individuals were able to handle six full grown men? David would be surprised himself if he was in someone else's shoes.

He saw Austen turning her back to the woman , feeling a slight relief, it was probably better this way. Enough mess for today. His eyes laid on her hand, before quickly looking back, looking over Austen to see the mad woman running towards the girls back. “ Caref--” David shouted, but yet it was unnecessary as the mysterious girl turned, and with the same agility she used to defeat the men she punched the woman violently. “ Ouch....”

He took Austen's hand, and smiled back, despite the bloody lip that wouldn't make that grin as charming as he'd like to. He looked over at Austen's face, where she had been hit. “ Are you okay?”

[Austen Sionis]

She pulled the man up, taking notice of his bloody lip. He seemed to look her over, like he was seeing if she was okay or not. "Are you okay?"

Smirking, she nodded. The punch to her face was soft, when really it was meant to harm. She felt nothing as her skin seemed flawless. After helping him up, she took her hand back and walked over to where her bag was, scooping it up and slinging it onto her shoulder. She had dropped her key sometime earlier in the fight and now was on the search for it under the unconscious bodies around. Running a hand through her hair, she started walking around picking up random people to see if the key had fallen under them.

Ignoring the humans that watched, she continued her search. "Damn it, where'd my key go?" She mumbled to herself before standing up straight and looking around. She always had this happen to her, the key tended to "disappear" when she really needed it. Her eyes narrowed as she searched for it, picking up unconscious person after another, dropping them at a time with no care in the world.

[David Nero]

“ Good.” David mumbled as Austen nodded. Her skin, unlike his lip, wasn't damaged at all, it seemed like she had never been hit. There was definitely something odd about her, she wasn't a mere human, his curiosity started to grow even more. “ What are-” The girl didn't give him a chance to finish his question as she wandered off looking for something. The girl started to move the bodies of the unconscious men and woman, looking under them. David didn't realize until she spoke she was looking for the key to her room.

Snapped out of his thoughts he rushed and started flipping bodies and looking between them searching for Austen's key. After a phew good minutes searching, David saw in this a great opportunity to learn more about this female. “Ahm, you can stay in my room if you want, it has a bed and a couch, I don't mind sleeping on it...” He flashed a quick a smile, wondering if there was even a chance the girl would accept his bold request. He tried to make the fact they were going to sleep in separate places clear, so she wouldn't feel too uncomfortable. Even though the elemental did find the girl attractive, and one of his main objectives when he met her was to try to get laid, he didn't expect it anymore, specially not after this incident. “ You can go to the reception in the morning and see if anyone found it over night. If not, you can just try and get a spare key. It's okay if you don't want to, anyway, it's just a suggestion”

[Austen Sionis]

She continued her search, before looking up at David, raising an eyebrow. After all of this, he still wished to be around her? She grinned and rested her hand against her hip. "I'd love too, however that key belongs to the one room that's actually perfectly cleaned. I would know, I cleaned it. It's the only key to that room, I made sure before actually cleaning it." She chuckled and walked over to one of the larger men and lifted him with ease, looking under only to see the gold glint shining from near the man's belt buckle. She giggled happily and flipped him out of the way, grabbing the key and stuffing it into her back skirt pocket.

"However, your offer is quite sweet of you." She smiled towards him, before looking about at all of the sleeping people. "So I guess you have a few questions, huh?" Looking up at the man, she crossed her arms and smirked. Every human had questions, especially when they watched a young woman as herself knock many out without a scratch over her body. She tilted her head, watching his expression while she spoke, for watching a human's reactions always amused her greatly.

"I however do have a clean couch you could rest on, for I won't be using it."

[Vigilant Creed]

Vigil walked down the street, worn combat boots thudding against the pavement in a rythmatic thumping sound. At the present, Vigil was shifted into the form of a human male a good 6'2 in height, lacking his wings and massive stature, but keeping his looks and physique. A bead of sweat dripped down his chiseled face and he reached up with one hand and ran it through his close-cropped platinum blonde hair.

Vigil sighed, after all these miles of walking with the heavy pack containing two sets of armor (one for his human form, the other for his larger form) even he was growing tired. 'The vigilant eye is oft well rewarded with sweet victory' went an ancient demon proverb and Vigil attempted to live up to his namesake, but even he needed rest. Calves burning, he picked up his pace, moving towards a cheap, almost decrepit, motel.

Vigil turned in towards the motel, headed for the entrance when he noticed a confrontation taking place outside. Some men were attacking a male and a female, but Vigil decided to keep out of things since he knew not what was going on. When the attacking men were down and the male and female were still standing, Vigil tilted his head slightly, curious. The female approached a frightened woman and struck her with such force that she slammed backwards into a pole.

Vigil dropped his pack which made a resounding clang as it hit the ground and he hurried over to the downed woman. From what he could see, the woman had done nothing wrong and Vigil could feel a strange taste in his mouth, that of bile. He knelt next to her and turned her head towards him gently to look into her fluttering eyelids. The woman muttered something about her bag and Vigil noted its absence upon her.

Gently lowering the woman back down, Vigil stood and turned to the male and female, his expression tightly controlled when he saw the bag that must have been taken from the woman. He assumed the men must have been attempting to assist her and get it back when they were.. dispatched..

"Hey!" Vigil shouted at the two to get their attention. His fists were clenched tightly at his sides while he strode toward them, his intent obvious. Frustration burned within him, at having been expelled, at having no purpose, and Vigil had finally found what he felt was a suitable outlet. Muscles rippled along his athletic body, tightening and appearing similar to that of a coiled snake ready to spring. "You will return what you have stolen or..." Vigil let his words trail off at that, leaving the threat unspoken. All thought of weariness had fled his mind and he prepared himself to face the two who had taken all those men down.

[David Nero]

Austen kindly refused the offer, like David expected. The young elemental felt somehow disappointed until she justified by saying her room was the room that was decently clean, that she had cleaned it herself. David had never stayed at that hotel before, but he doubt it that the rooms were so dirty that she felt the need to clean one, and reserve that one for her only, but on the other hand, the hotel didn't seem particularly luxurious so he wouldn't be surprised if the rooms weren't all perfumed. David was ripped from his thoughts when the female suggested he had questions, he felt his head nodding almost immediately. The woman then proceeded to find her key and refered to her couch as clean, and that male could rest on it. A smirk appeared in the David's face “ Lovely” .

David started to move towards Austen to join her, when he heard a male voice behind him “ Hey!”. The elemental looked over his shoulder to see a blonde man shouting at them, his fists closed like he was angered. David guessed he was another man, trying to serve the slutty woman, he rolled his eyes and sighed loudly. The angered male then proceed to threat Austen and David, demanding the bag to be returned. At his last shout David received a different energy from this man... He wasn't human. He wasn't a elemental either, that way the young male would've notice it. “ Oh, for god sake... Or what? Piss off blondie, this has nothing to do with you.” David said annoyed.

Starting a fight with this guy would probably require more than what did with the others, and it wouldn't be very clever to it in front of so many humans. As much David didn't like to run from a fight, for once in a life-time he was thinking about the consequences, he slightly pinched Austen's arm and whispered to her hear. “ This guy's not human, run for your room, i'll follow you. Start a fight here with him it's not a good idea.”

[Austen Sionis]

Looking over the new male, she smirked. Now this person, she could play with him, tear him apart little by little. She'd enjoy it too much possibly, but it was too tempting. Tilting her head, she watched him rush to her attacker and knelt besides her, making sure she was okay. She shook her head.

"Pathetic." She mumbled to herself, before looking over at David at his words. "Oh, for God sake... Or what? Piss off blondie, this has nothing to do with you." Her eyebrow raised as her lips curled in a smile. "Now now, let's not be--" Her sentence was cut short for the statement the stranger spoke caused her to narrow her eyes. How dare he stand up for a worthless piece of trash that attacked her! It's distasteful, such disgust!

"This guy's not human, run for your room. I'll follow you. Start a fight here with him it's not a good idea." "Obviously, anyone with common sense could tell he wasn't human dumbass." She thought inwardly as she looked at the male. Turning her cold eyes towards the stranger, she cast a playful smirk his way.

"Awe darlin', you'd really threaten a woman, after she attacked me? How disgraceful, if I do say so myself. However, I shall ignore your 'threat' and carry on my way, for I have little time on my hands and wish not to waste them on someone as low as yourself." Her words cut through the air sharply, harsh as she turned on her heel. She really had no time, her thirst was starting to kick and she needed someone to feed off of, and David would be her snack tonight. She twirled her key around her small finger while walked towards her hotel room, the bag slung over her shoulder.
