Lucy's POV:
you couldn't even see your surrounding in the tunnel, the air was stuffy barley making it easy to see a few steps ahead. the pounding in my heart relaxed to come again as a pounding in the head. trying to take a few sips of the water I packed while keeping my pace fast in the darkness almost felt impossible, but it had to work.
I ran for an hour in the lengthy tunnel and stopped to catch my breath deciding that it was better to continue walking, soon my walking was interrupted when my gliding hands on the walls held cold metal I looked up and saw a ladder I held the cold handles climbing pushing the metal roof open.
when I finally managed to open the lid and got out, I looked around and took out a pill that covers my scent I stayed hidden waiting for the pill that took 10 minutes to work, as I stayed in the alleyway that the tunnel led me to, when my scent faded.
I walked to the streets and covered my face and prayed that no one will try to question me, passing people who sat in the places humans were and took over what once was ours but shook my head and kept trying to find my way to the first border.
My steps became faster because the pill works only for 3 hours and till now I have wasted an hour and I needed to cross the borders before my scent is visible to the warriors, I ran towards the woods after half an hour I was close to the borders so I climbed a tree to be in a good place to hide and to watch them. I got out the sniper and got the silver bullets and aimed... waited...breathed making the predator pray in only seconds I shot the first one when the others turned, swiftly shooting them.
the warriors were down before even getting the chance to rush towards the dead bodies, falling before they can reach them I looked around for others but found no one. I jumped off the tree and ran for the border and crossed it and went to the next target.
30 minutest of me breathing and heaving heavily from running for so long.
I stopped when I hured a shuffle in the bushes next to me I moved back and held my gun and pointed it at whatever is their, a wolf came out of the bushes growling it sniffed the air but held a confused face and from the scars on its face and red eyes only a fool would miss a rouge. the savages of the the savage, the no-names the shunned and ills of wolves.
"Shift" it growled and tried to attack but I shot it in the leg.
It fell whimpering, twitching its wounded leg and shifted "shit! That hurts...what is a human doing here... and WHAT THE F*CH DID YOU SHOOT ME WITH " he screamed groaning. after having a few moments of agony I shook my head "what's a rouge like you wants to do"
"I think we can work this out you and me" I narrowed my eyes at him "how so?" I questioned
"Well for starters maybe put the gun a way and help with my wound. second, we both know that this kingdom isn't working for any humans or rouges how about I join u it would be better if you had someone that at least can sense if someone was around" I narrowed my eyes and pulled the trigger and shot next to his head he stood up fear crossed his features and I walked up to him holding the collar of his shirt with my fist only putting a few inches between our faces "listen to me and listen well I'm gonna give u one chance not that I trust you, not that I pity you, not that I care if you live or not. one wrong move and your dead" he nodded his head and looked at his bleeding leg. I shook my head and sat him down taking the bullet out before it spreads the silver and closing his wound.
now that I look at him well, I notice the scar across his strong jaw, and harsh eyes he has two white thin lines of scars on his forehead although that doesn't take away how oddly handsome, he looked, his red eyes relaxed to a deep burgundy color with streaks of gold on them and a deep rich color on the edges, you couldn't miss he's a rouge. yet times look hard on him he was thin but not sickly, his hair was dark brown untamed probably never saw a comb in years only frustrated fingers, his chest was hard and arms strong he had my bag cover him as I fixed his wound keeping his eyes in my every move, good he didn't have to trust me he just had to work with me.
I put the things in my bag and took out two pills I gave one to him and took one.
"What are these?" I put my gun back in place "they hide your scent"
"Your serious about this" I looked at his red eyes and gave him a look "if I wasn't you, wouldn't have seen this human in front of you".

Ladies and gentlemen, may you prepare your hearts for our journey were the beast you just encountered will make you fly with wings feathers so pure white they will look like parts of the sky...
oh well the higher he takes you the harder the fall will get I presume. don't go sad my dear reader he may not be the reason you fall but for sure he will be there when you land in the arms of another, he will be back to save you from the caged bird that wants to keep you with him to spread the wings in between walls rather than the skies.
