[haha, at this point Spider should have offered her some 'head on, apply directly to the forehead' stuff. XD;]
Studying Lady's mixed reaction with cruel interest, Spider felt his heart drumming loudly in his chest, on an adrenaline high.
Spider appeared to be enjoying this situation immensely - perhaps more than he possibly should do. Considering a single bullet had now bid an escape from the barrel of Lady's own gun, he seemed particularly unperturbed.
He didn't allow the screaming to cease.
Aware that the bullet was nearing closer, he raised his own revolver, ready to counter-attack with another steel bullet. Spider felt his fingers slipping onto the trigger, a lopsided grin corrupting his jaw.
You think you can kill me, stupid woman?
The bullet was now centimetres away from Spider's body.
Perhaps it wouldn't have even hit him, anyway even if the next event that occured had not have happened. Lady had of course no proper time to secure her aim - it was most probably a desperate shot.
Mercury appeared in front of Spider, massive silver sword clenched tightly in his palm, the sharp jagged blade of it catching the light as it deflected the bullet that Lady had thrust through the air, rendering it useless. The piece of metal bounced to the ground, unable to meet with the flesh of it's target. Mercury raised an eyebrow, lifting the sword.
Spider's excited expression faded as Mercury kicked the bullet aside, attempting to wrench the revolver from the raven-haired man's grasp before he could retaliate to Lady's weak attack. A manic glint erupted in Spider's eye, as Mercury managed to prise the gun free from his grip.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Spider yelled angrily, the screaming fading into an eerie silence. Mercury dug Spider's gun into his own left pocket, averting his gaze from the other man.
"Don't be an idiot, Spider. You think you can get your watch back by shooting the woman?" The silver-haired man arched an eyebrow, still firmly keeping his sword directly in front of his body as some kind of defence measure. "Sure, you may get it back, if it happens to fall your way when it leaves her grasp..." Mercury paused, laughing softly. "...but it would probably end up smashing to the ground before you could save it."
Spider looked positively mortified, a dangerous expression creeping across his features.
"Besides, mate...we both know your aim isn't incredibly good." Mercury lowered his voice, the corners of his lips twitching.

[ CELSI AND FAHREN ARE GUNNA BE RPED IN FIRST PERSON, GUYZ! I rp Celsi, and Aszie rps Fahren CCC: ]
Yes, there was quite a joy to go traipsing through a forest. Full of ammo, walking gracefully over fallen branches, not making a sound. Guns jingling on your belt was a cool thing. Especially when you werent afraid of using them. But it was kind of annoying when you couldnt hit anything for crap. But that's why I didn't hit things, unless necessary. I just liked hot they made you look cool and threatening. Of coarse, some people could look just as threatening WITHOUT all the firepower. I bet we could, but I sure as Hell didnt feel like taking all this stuff off to find out. Yeah.
I glanced over to the right to look into my clone and twin, Fahrenheit. We were a pretty freaking awesome pair. We could blow up buildings. We could bag anyone. We could shoot anyone, too. At least Fahren could. I could think up awsome plans, though. Who needed good aim when you could have all the brains in the world? Um, okay. Dont answer that thought.
So basically, we REALLY wanted to kill this one person, right now. But we couldnt find her. So screw that, at the moment we needed to make a living. Only problem being that we kind of were stuck in the mud, on account of there was no one providing buisness... What kind of buisness, you may ask? The bounty hunter kind. Yeah. So bascially at the moment no one wanted someone to die and/or be brought back to them. Which majorly sucked. Hence the fact that we were aimlessly walking through a forest right now...
Suddenly the sounds of voices drifted through the gloom. Instantly I was put on the defensive, and motioned for Fahren to follow. She undoubtedly would, what with our high amount of curiosity, whether I asked her to or not. I crept forward silently, then stopped at the edge of the trees to peer out at what was going on ahead. Two men appeared to be in intense combat with the roof of a building. Um. Okay. I paused to wonder what the building could possibly have done. Then, me being smart and all, I decided it'd be a good idea to investigate. Or it could just have been curiosity.
"So, Fahren, what do you think those pretty men are doing out there?" I whispered a bit too loudly, wondering if maybe I could find out from the guys themselves. But maybe they werent so good at hearing high whispers.

Fahren
Walking was tiresome.
Thinking was tiresome.
Life on the whole was pretty tiresome.
To me, anyhow.
Even with Celsi at my side, I still felt somewhat alone...isolated somehow. The cool breeze was brushing against my skin, lifting my heavy fringe from my eyes momentarily as it swept past. I blinked, swivelling my gaze to connect with my twin sister's. Her mouth was set in a thin, unamused line, as was mine. The corners of my lips twitched. I didn't need to guess what she was thinking about. As usual, I already knew.
My limbs were now beginning to ache slightly, due to the fact that I was heavily laden with a variety of weapons, but I made myself immune to the irritation. You had to be immune to many different kinds of pain if you were to lead the life that both Celsi and I did. Day after day, taking it as it was thrown at us. I try not to think too much of the past - it hurts even now, although I would never admit it out loud.
I think Celsius copes with it more than I do, to be perfectly honest. You wouldn't see it that way at first glance, but that is how it is. The unfulfilled revenge that we both desire is eating away at me, slowly. If we don't find her...and him soon, then I'll be driven to endure more torture, for endless days...weeks...years.
Why is life so complicated? Some people have it so easy, handed to them on a silver platter. It's never been like that for me. I have to fight for what I want, staying strong and believing all the way. Believing in me, believing in Celsi.
I've lost track of the time. I can barely remember my own age, my own birthday. I can't even guess at how long it's been since that...day. I smile crookedly, avoiding Celsi's gaze and pressing on. It's not over. It's never been over. The scenario was left unresolved...we aim to discover the truth, to unleash our vengance on those backstabbers we loathe and detest so much.
I often wonder what it would have been like if it had never happened, if we were all still living together.
Where would we be now?
Did it really have to happen like that?
Maybe our destinies were tied from the start...maybe that fateful day could have been avoided.
Perhaps...if we'd known.
Smiling again weakly as I looked over at Celsi, who gestured to me to follow, I dutifully paced after her, the silence that hung over the area fading sharply as we entered the Abandoned Train Station. Celsi whispered to me.
I could vaguely adjust my vision to rest on three figures - yes, three. I'd managed to spot a third, something which my sister had failed to detect. Two men and a woman.
I raised an eyebrow at Celsi's comment, not attempting to utter a reply, instead stifling my breath and lying in wait.

Okay, so I guessed they couldn't hear high whispers. So we might as well hunker down and wait for the right moment, hunh?
I looked over at Fahren, who was awefully silent. She looked pretty down. I was well aware by now of the fact that my sister had taken that... terrible... event more seriously than I had. It kind of showed. Despite how much I put on happy faces and smiled it all through, though, I was also feeling pretty angry and sad inside. Though probrably not as bad as Fahren. I had to be strong for her.
"Don't worry," I whispered more softly. "We'll get our revenge someday." I said this about three times daily, and wondered now if maybe I should just let things like that go unsaid. We would get our revenge. We had to. I let out a sigh. If only things could be more simple than they were.
I returned my attention back to the two men, and became aware of the third woman on the roof. Oh. Damn. I needed to stop making stupid mistakes. I'd been making them all morning. Probrably from hunger, no doubt. As if on cue, my stomach growled. Great. We might end up being found out because of my loudy whiny stomach. I looked around in vain for some food, but jee, guess the forest didnt serve coffee and donuts. Too bad.
I had to take my mind off of food. And those three had to do something. It looked like one of them was a bit angry, one of the men on the ground. If something interesting happened, I could start making plans. I loved making plans, devising what would happen in every situation and how we could react. Fahren liked to carry out my plans. As I mentioned before, we made the perfect team. Since right now nothing was going on, I started devising ideas of what to do to make some action. I could fire a bullet at one of them. But then I'd probrably miss. And then they'd probrably find us out. Or the lady on the top could do something. From the way it looked, the lady probrably had something the two men wanted. Actually, one of the men seemed to be restraining the other guy. So maybe only one of the guys wanted something, and the other was trying to keep him from doing something rash. That could be it.
I shifted my position, growing antsy.

Shit.
This certainty wasn't looking good in her favour. She wanted the stopwatch, that's all, wasn't that okay? Apparently not and Spider looked as if he'd go to extreme lengths to retrieve it.
There were two new ones, their scents catching her sensitive nose. As if she hadn't a great enough headache as it was, it seemed new trouble had arrived. Although their intentions weren't apparent just yet, Lady could guess they might get in the way of her intentions.
Still with the crying in her head, Lady had to make a clear decision before it was the death of her. "Why must a lady have to always get her hands dirty?" She sighed, still leant against the wall and holding the gun. It didn't face much with her uncertain aim and at such a long distance a hit seemed nearly impossible.
Her chest was currently panting, heaving to catch up with lost breaths. How could she get out? How?
Her teeth tightened and her eyes narrowed. There was one way, a painful transformation was all the sacrifice she needed to make.

Fahren
I winced at Celsi's words, my fingertips stroking the first holster clipped to my belt, the one in which my favourite gun nestled inside. I was struggling to sit back and observe what was happening before me - something I'd never been very good at, as all I wanted to do was jump in, all guns blazing.
But of course, the prescence of Celsi's brain reminded me that doing that was defintely not a sensible idea. Yeah, I know. Watch. Analyse the movement of the opponent discreetly before engaging in any kind of contact. My sister reminds me often enough.
...but dear god, the suspense is killing me.
Although it probably would literally kill me if I jumped in without preparation. I'm not that stupid.
The others that inhabited the area fascinated me somehow...they all seemed particularly interesting and individual, although they were all surrounded by the same, over-powering aura. The black-haired man with the creepy smile especially. Yet...
...when I peered closer, I realized that the woman, the strange figure perched on the rooftop actually held the most powerful aura, blazing with energy. It almost knocked me off my feet.
"We can wait, Celsi." I muttered shortly, my tone barely audible.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Spider and Mercury
Spider's eye twitched suddenly as Mercury prodded him in the back, pushing him forwards.
"Why don't you just ask her for it back?" The silver-haired man suggested coolly, licking his lips. "Use some of the manly charm on her, I'm sure she'll take it in..."
Spider turned around slightly, hesitating.
Then his arm shot out, and his fingers closed around the metal of the gun that now lay clutched in Mercury's rapidly loosening grasp. He snatched the weapon from his former colleague, re-aligning the barrel of it with Lady's blurred figure.
"Just give me the bloody watch, bitch!"
Then he stopped.
Something. Something unexpected was going to happen. He could feel it.
And two more had arrived.
Things were just about to get interesting.
A shiver ran down Mercury's spine, as he realized that the gun now rested in the grasp of it's original owner.
Too late Spider, you're too late... Mercury grimaced to himself, looking up at Lady.

As I sat there, closely watching the trio of three, something became very much apparent. I could feel a rush of energy, the static of intensity cackling through the air, the certainty that something was going to happen. My right eye, for my left was covered with an eyepatch, roved over the two men on the ground. The action that took place between them only seemed to add to that certainty. But the real action did not seem to lie with them, no.
It seemed to lie with that woman.
A wave of uncertainty rippled through me as Fahren confirmed what I was feeling. I was pretty sure the three we were spying on knew of our presence by now, because we werent exactally trying to hide it from anyone. Plus the fact that they seemed above normal humans... Wait. Above normal humans. My breath escaped my mouth, and I sat, stunned, contemplating that thought.
"Fahren, do you think... I think there's a high possibility they're lycan."
