(OPEN) Black as Midnight

Pureness Krow

My eyes open to find it's the middle of the night. Good. I slept in a little.
I stand and stetch, my muscels sore from sleeping on hard the stone ground for so long. I roll my shoulder backward, listening with satisfaction at the quiet popping sound it makes, and the soreness disappears. I look up to find that there isn't a moon, or stars. Outside, it is nearly pitch black. I grin, tilting my head slightly to the side. I love the dark. I love the blackness that creeps all around when it is dark. Many people are afraid of the dark. Well, not really afraid of the dark, they're afraid of what's in it. I'm just the opposite. I'm the hiding thing they're afraid of.
I brush off my wrinkled black jeans. Tiny pebbles fall to the ground like rain. I grab my belt, tying it tightly around my waist and picking one of the many weapons attatched to it; a long, curved blade. I slash it through the air a few times, listening to the whistling sound, before stepping out of the cave and into the fresh night.
My eyes pick out the bits of light almost immediately, and I walk calmly in that direction, through the many trees.
A few voices ring out in the stillness. I don't jump, like most people would. Instead, I calmly change my direction towards a tree, pressing myself against it as flat as possible. My eyes scan calmly around, finding a tiny light in the distance. Peacekeepers. I wait until they near, and as soon as they do, it's obvious this'll be quick. They've obviously been out here too long, have had a drink before hand, and are barely glancing at the world around them as they grumble complaints between each other. I step out from behind the tree, and with a few stabs and punches, have them on the ground unconscious, bleeding heavily. I smile softly, watching the flashlight one of them was holding swing around, almost as if searching for something. I'm about to gracefully leap over them and continue towards the lights when my gut tightens slightly. I look down at the Keepers, but neither of them are awake.
I turn around, a lazy expression in my eyes, my sword held up in front of me in a defensive yet relaxed position. I see no one, but it's been a long time since I've depended on my sight.
"You know, sneaking up on me is a great way to commit suicide. You're lucky I'm in a good mood, or you'd already be dead."

Watching a girl kill numerous Peacekeepers at once was pretty entertaining,until they started realizing what was going on.I step out of the bushes,and the girl whips around and says,"you know,sneaking up on me is a great way to commit suicide,your lucky I am in a good mood or you would already be dead."."I just thought I could help you kill some Peacekeepers,it tends to be my specialty,so lets go',I say,somewhat scared of this girl but at the same time ready to kill some Keepers.

As soon as she begins to talk, the glare begins to cross my face. Something urges me into a defensive stance automatically, but I quickly shove it back. Now's not the time. I bite my bottom lip and force myself to be calm, all the time keeping my face rather impassive.
"I don't like being watched," I say, not answering her offer.
I gracefully sweep into a kneel next to the Keepers, digging through the pockets. I find a bit of money at each Keeper, and smile, tucking it into a pocket in my belt. I stand again, my black hair completely blocking one eye.
"I don't like being watched," I repeat. "And I don't need help. I don't want it, either. I work alone, got it?"

[clovegoodshot]

"Okay,but how about I go with you,help you rob some stores,kill some PK's,and give you all the profit?",I say,because it sounds like a good offer,I would accept it.

I smile a humorless smile. "You're determined, aren't you?"
The knife dangling from my belt calls to me, and I pull it out, cutting each Peacekeepers arm in the shape of a 'K', deep enough to leave a scar. They'll always remember the night they were spared by the Krow.
I stand up again, wiping the blood from the kinfe up with my finger and painting two little tally marks on my arm before sliding the knife back into place. "That's not a compliment."
I turn to face her. "I don't care about money. All I want is enough to live. To me, it's that they're dead. I don't care what's in their pockets, just as long as the heart stopped."
Making a point, I point to my arm, where the two red lines are. "I keep track of how many I've defeated on my left arm, and on my right, how many I've killed. That way I'll know when to run from the particular area I'm in. So if you really want to come, you can, but just a warning, you can't stay in this area for very long afterwards. And also, I think it's very obvious who's in charge. My name is Krow, and you address me as nothing else. One slip up, one step out of line, and I won't hesitate to leave you for the Keepers. Got it?"
And without looking back or waiting for a reply, I've dashed into the night, towards the lights.

She dashes fast,and my mind can barely process it,but finally,my legs begin to move.It is good I took all that physical training for the Games."Ya know,Krow,the reason I want to do this is because it was Peacekeepers who killed my mother and father,and left me for dead on the side of the street.",I say sideways while we run.

Ugh. Maybe bringing her along wasn't such a good idea if she was just going to start spilling emotions right away. Ah, well, if she alerts the Keepers, I'll be long gone by the time they've loaded their guns. Or at least, they think I'll be.
"Look, I really don't care," I say with an icy cold tone. "It must be awful, how did you survive, blah blah blah isn't gonna come from me. Right now, you're here to kill some Keepers and keep your mouth shut, okay?"
I know it's harsh, but I'm harsh. That's who I am. That's who I've always been, and who I'll always be. Someone once discribed me as cold as ice, solid as rock, and unreadable as a two-year-old's attempt to write. I actually liked that description, and wrote it on the walls of all my caves. That's basically me. No sob story from the past, no hidden feelings in the present, and no promises for the future.
And I intend to keep it that way.
Soon, we're by the ice cold wall of a weapondry house for the Peacekeepers. It's location is top secret- I found a map on a dead Keeper. It's guarded by about six Keepers. Easy.
I look at my partner.
"Let's roll."

I watched silently from the shadows. I had been following the two girls as they teamed up to kill the peacekeepers. I knew that they would be punished with death if they were ever caught. Somehow, I didn't think they would, though. They were too smart. My parents wouldn't mind if I watched them, they would think I was training. I gripped the spear in my hand tighter as they walked towards six peacekeepers. I knew that I couldn't get caught, so I threw the spear into the closest gaurd. The other Peacekeepers turned on me, but I had a knife in my hand. I silently prayed that the other girls would step in.
