Dark alley
Crowded city,
Hair black as night, blood-red eyes.
Young, frail, damaged.
Blood drips
Down
Down
From hair
To nose
To chin
To pavement.
*Awakens*
A looming figure
*Scared*
*"Who?"*
Broken blade pulled,
On guard, defensive.
Hands raised,
Comes forward.
"A bounty, huh?
For someone young as you?
Can't even be 6 yet."
Sensing no danger
And losing blood
Cannot stand,
*Falls.*
