( I am ready to kill )

It was starting to get night. 9pm. It was cold weather and it even started to rain, starting softly with only a few raindrops falling down, but soon it would get more. A strong breeze was making a young girl shiver in the crowded streets of the town. Protected with her clothes she still felt the cold, but this was a cold combined with fear. Why was the girl scared she had no reason to be scared. If there was a human who was planning to harm her she would be able to run or fight back, probably the first. The girl had such a bad feeling, it did not noticed the soft rain falling down and how people started to get in. The crowded place was getting empty quickly.

Also it started to rain more covering the coat of the girl in a wet layer of tiny little drops. She first leaned against a wall but now she started to walk, moving the hood of her long, black, coat over her head. The coat was long enough and almost reached her ankle. It was a coat mysterious travelers always used when they wanted to stay unknown. The girl knew that and took this one of a traveler when he was sleeping.

When she walked she felt her knife in her boot against her leg, it was a miracle that it never had gone wrong, but she always kept it there, unable to see for the eye. With the same knife she had cut the throat of that villager. It was sharp and it sided easy in his throat, making him unable to breath and only caused to get more blood in his longs. It was a cruel death for the man, but he had made the mistake to try to robber her.

It was not more than fair in the eyes of the young girl. He took what was her and now she took back, and more. He needed to pay it with his life, so now the coat had a new owner. She was glad she had it, it protected her from the rain and wind.

Without noticing where she walked the girl suddenly stopped and looked to someone. Now there were only a few more people out of the houses and they walked fast to reach a dry place, but this person did not seemed to care about the rain. Right at the moment that she saw that person, she wanted to know more about him/her.

[Laya]

Laya stood under the rain drops, smiling as each one hit her face and washed away the muck and grime. It was so nice when it rained. She hadn't liked it when she was human, because she had to stay inside, and she hated staying inside, but the rain was enjoyable now. When she had become an angel, everything had changed. Everything.

One of the people walking by, shoved against her, muttering something that sounded like "crazy", and she was pushed back against the wall of the house. Looking down, she realized she had stepped in a mud puddle. Well, the rain would was it off anyway. Moving out underneath the raindrops, Laya spun, laughing. There was barely anyone here, and she had room to twirl.

Suddenly, Laya sensed eyes upon her. Continuing her spinning, she looked around as she spun slightly slower, trying to find the person who was watching her. Out of the corner of her eye, she located a girl wearing an overlarge coat. With this rain, there didn't seem to be anything unusual about her, except the fact that she stopped... With a sense of unease, Laya stopped, staring right back at the girl.

For a moment it did not even bothered the young demon that it was raining. She was completely focused on the girl in front of her. Her aura was different then a human.

Rynn never was good in seeing the different between an angel and a demon and also this time she was not sure.How could she? She never had seen a demon before, so there was nothing to compare with.

This girl, she had something good, but also more human like. So, maybe it was an angel. That would also explain why the girl was standing outside instead of hiding like all the other sad humans.

Rynn decided to walk closer to the person but instead of going to the person she walked further, not looking to the girl at all, but when she was a few meters away from the girl she turned around again, this time looking to the girl with a spark of knowledge in her eyes. "Angel.." She said trough her teeth's , almost like an animal would do.

[Laya]

Laya was shocked. How did this girl know she was an angel? How, when it took her a year to figure it out herself? She took a step back from the strange girl that was frightening her so much. "How? How do you know?" She barely knew anything about being an angel, or about angels themselves. Her parents have never indulged in such stories, yet she knew this girl... There was something wrong about her. Laya didn't know what or why, she just knew. There was somethign weird about how she was talking to her teeth...

Laya didn't like being frightened. She had thought, that since she had become an angel, she wouldn't have to get frightened any more. After all, what could possibly frighten an angel? Rain dropped onto her face, making it look she was crying. Apparently, this girl could scare an angel. Or at least a human-turned-angel. Probably not a born angel, if there were such things. She wanted to get away. She wanted to get away so bad. Laya slowly began to back away from the strange, frightening girl.

So she was right, it indeed was an angel. There came a small smirk on the face of the young shape shifter and she did a few steps closer to the angel. "Your aura is blowing your cover.." She said calm, her voice not more then a whisper. " You even smell so pure and good." Moving her nose in the air, spitting the words out on a rough, loud tone. "It stinks, the smell is horrible.." Folding her arms, doing another step closer to the angel.

Rynn never liked angels, they always were so pure, bright and so good. Al tough she never had seen one before, and this girl, who supposed to be an angel did not seemed to be really special. Plus she still had that strange aura. It was not so good as she toughed it would be from an angel.

Unless..Could there be something as a half angel? Rynn was not updated about such things, about half breeds and hybrids. She did not even know if she was a full shape shifter or not, most of all she did not even cared.

"Your running away? Or flying away.." Rynn said on an ironic tone to the angel with an smirk on her face. She had no intention to start a fight and only tried to play with it. Like a cat would play with a mouse. It would die.

But Rynn did not planned to kill right now, not after that traveler. She did not wanted to make enemies already, not before she had a save place.

[Laya]

My... aura? Was that the strange sensation she'd felt when she saw the girl? Was that what an aura was? Then... why did her aura feel so wrong? What was wrong with the girl? She had so many questions, but no one to ask. As the girl stepped closer, Laya stepped back, almost falling into a puddle.

You're running away? Or flying away...

"Please..." begged Laya, trembling and on the verge of tears. "Why do you want to get me? It's not like I chose to be this..." She gestured to herself with shaking hands. The rain fell, concealing the tears that were now streaming down Laya's cheeks. She took another step back, gaining her courage slightly. "What do you want from me? And... what are you, for that matter? No human I know of can sense an aura. I'm not even sure I can..." Laya held her breath, hoping that the frightening girl might turn out to be a source of answer for all her questions. She didn't know why a human girl would know of such things, though. Human... Something Laya had not been for eight years...

The young shape shifter placed her hands on her hips and grinned, this girl really seemed to be scared, and she did not even took a animal form yet. What kind of angel was this, so weak.

"What I am? I'm a shape shifter of the Nacht Family. Those weaklings, who never dared to get involved with this battle between the angels and the demons. I'm the first of the family who finally dares to show there true face." When the girl said it, her voice was full of angriness and hate, but not directly to the angel in front of her. No, this was a personal mather. She still couldn't not understand why her family were acting so weak. Something she probably would never understand. "Everyone here is trying to survive, for a better life."

Suddenly like if she had a change of mood her voice sounded more caring, maybe even nice. "Your aura is mixed, what means your not a full angel?" That could explain that this girl was less brave then any angel. Well, at least with the stories she had heard. This was her first angel in real life. All the information that she knew, were out of books.

[Laya]

A... demon? Laya was on the verge of hyperventilating, but tried desperately to calm down. The demon hadn't hurt her... yet. Maybe she wouldn't?

Your aura is mixed, are you not a full angel?

The demon's voice sounded slightly more pleasant, and Laya calmed down enough to give a decent answer. "I-I don't know... I died... but then I wasn't dead anymore... and I had wings..." She shook her head, staring at the ground. "I've only been an angel for eight years! I don't understand anything!" This girl... This demon... Could be a source of answers. She might have to force herself to stay around her, but she could explain the many questions on her mind...

"So.. You died?" That was interesting. This girl was reborn as an angel, what means she was a human before. The smirk on the face of the young shape shifter disappeared and she looked serious. Maybe alittle irritated. "There is no need to be scared okay? So calm down. If I was planning to hurt you from the start you would already have noticed that." She placed her hands on her hips and there the play full smile appeared on her face again.

"You were a human before? Before you died?" Rynn just wanted to be sure. This girl was getting more and more interesting. She was an angel, something Rynn never had seen before. And then it came out that she changed into an angel after her death.

The shape shifter walked closer to the girl, looking to the face of the girl, seeing the scars on her face. What was the reason that she died and changed into an angel? Did this girl got killed?

There were so many question running trough her mind. This was something she couldn't find in books. Something that was unable for people to understand. How some people changed into angels and other souls just get lost. Rynn was not a believer of Heaven and Hell, but if angels really were true, and not just a fairytale.. It made her think of all the things she had done so far, and the things that she was planning to do.

[Laya]

The demon looked irritated now. Did she do something that would make her angry? Laya didn't think she did.

So... you died?

Laya nodded, a bit more frightened than before. At the demon's next words, she relaxed slightly, but still was a bit wary of the demon. The girl could just be trying to trick her. Laya didn't know if she could die, because she was an angel, but she didn't want to. She didn't want to die again. To go through all that agony, all that suffering... It was almost too much to do even once.

So you were a human before? Before you died?

"Y-yes. I died at the age of fourteen." When the demon walked closer, looking at Laya's face, she nervously took a step back. The girl was kind of freaking her out.

Fourteen? So how old was this girl now? She looked not much older then Fourteen, and she was acting so scared that she seemed to be really fourteen. Rynn grinned when the angel did a step away. "I don't kill childeren. Whats your name little angel?" It would be handy for her to know a name behind the face, but this girl did not seemed to wanted to see the 'scary demon' again.

-- Aw sorry a short one.. T.T I did not had much time --

[Laya]

She said she didn't kill children. Children! If there was one thing Laya hated, it was to be called a child. This fact alone made Laya furious, and a but more gutsy than she normally would be. "For your information, I'm no longer a child. I died eight years ago! Eight! I'm 22 now, I just haven't grown since I became an angel. And you are really getting on my nerves, demon." She put her hands on her hips, putting her weight on her right leg.

As soon as the words left her mouth, she couldn't believe she said them. Here she was, acting impudent to a demon. But, she was an angel. She could take her. Maybe. Besides, she couldn't die when she was an angel. She was almost sure of it. But she didn't want to back down now. She just wanted this demon to leave and go back to Hell. Or wherever she came from.

"My my.. It seems that was a sensitive subject.. Your acting brave now my dear, but don't think you can scare me with that. I have been used of something more.. aggressive." A soft laugh followed out of the face of the young shape shifter. Yes, she maybe was younger but she was acting more older then she was. She always had. Rynn wanted to look older when she was younger, because she looked less weak then, and now it was more a selfdefence. She never led anyone close to her. Not her personal life, that was something to be hidden in the deepest part of her hearth.

Rynn looked around and then up to the sky, feeling how the rain hitted her face, it did not bothered her because her long cloak was covering her body from the rain and the cold. It felt like if she could take anything. Even this angel. It made her feel reckless.
"So? You want to teach me a lesson or are you going to stand like that." She said, making her gloved hands into fists, leaving them down now, next to her body. She did not wanted to set up an treating pose up yet. She would have plenty time for that if this angel was accepting the challenge. An animal against an angel. She already was going trough her mind what animal to pick. Probably her most used, the wolf dog.

[Laya]

Laya couldn't back down now. She just couldn't. Besides, she had all of her customised forms... Since it was raining, she'd probably go with her Medusa monster. When she had first become an angel, she had spent the first two years of her life learning how to shapeshift and design her own shapes. They left her more tired than normal shapes, but they were much more powerful.

Smiling with the confidence she didn't have, Laya answered. "Bring it on." The air around the angel's body shimmered, until you couldn't see her. Slowly, it faded away. Instead of the blonde girl, a different figure stood in her place. The same height, the humanoid figure was covered head to toe in sky blue scales. Her hair had transformed into snakes the same color as her body, and her eyes glinted gray. "Ssstill wissssh to try?" She hissed at the demon.

"It seems that you have more demon blood in you then you expected. Lovely, this might get more interesting." She kneeled to reach out her knife and with a fast moment she trowed it to the medusa form, not waiting to see if it reached the target. Rynn turned around and started to run until she found a small street were she could hide to transform into her animal, not far away from were the angel was.

She concentrated herself on the wolf, sharp claws, good yaws. That should do it. Rynn would cut that little neck of the cute angel in twice, for sure. The shape shifter had to much confident to show that she even was a little suprised by the first few of the Medusa form. She never had seen such like that before.

The girl sat on her knees feeling how she slowly changed from human into a wolf, a fur growed on her skin, she started to move on four legs instead of two. A loud growl left her mouth before she picked her nose in the rainy sky and let hear a loud howl. She was ready. Were was that angel. With her smell she noticed that even her scent had changed. Easy to find anyway.

The wolf now knew that it was not going to be easy, but that would mean more fun..
