Melody sat on the rim of the building, she sighed and gently woke the sleeping Checker beside her, "We better get moving."
"Finally!", Adolf growled.
"Ok...", mumbled Checker, as she got up a blade cut into her shoulder, "AHHH!", she screamed out.
"Hunters!", Melody turned around getting her blade and running at the hunter.
"You murdering bastard!", Adolf ran at the hunter, his chain scythe ready. Melody hit the wrist of hunter and Adolf hit it's ear before he dispersed into the night. Checker fell on her knees then her side as blood ran down her neck and arm. She was gasping for air.
*4 weeks later*
Checker opened and closed her eyes trying to adjust to the light, "Hello?", she whispered.
"Adolf, she's up!", someone yelled.
"Oh, Star! How can we thank you?", she recognized Melody's voice.
"Who's Star? What's going on?", Checker mumbled.
"Checker, you almost died because of a hunter. Star here saved you, she's like us.", Melody gestured to Star.
Checker sat up smiling,"Gotta thank you Kiddo.", she held out her hand for Star to shake.
"Checker!", Adolf ran into the room hugging her.
"WHOA! CHILL BIG BRO! YOU'RE HURTING MY SHOULDER MORE!", Checker gasped in pain.
"Sorry!", Adolf blushed.
"Good to see you too.", She responded to Melody and Adolf. Checker saw her guitar and went over to pick it up and started to play it, "Do do dodo-dodo.", she hummed quietly.
"Let's leave her be for a little. There's a window over there if you want to open it.", Melody said and they all left the room.
"Almost dead?", Checker stopped playing and sat there looking at the ground. Checker closed her eyes. blood flashed before her dark vision, she opened her eyes in alarm, "Who almost killed me?", Checker wrote a note saying:
Sorry, I have to go. Something told me, I'll be back at sunrise, I promise.
"Sorry guys..", Checker opened the window and jumped out. She ran down the street finding a ladder and got to the roof top. She ran jumping to the next one. She started to walk.
"Nice to see you again. Thought you were dead. Should we redo that scene?", somebody smirked in the shadows.
"The pleasure's all yours.", growled Checker.
"What a rude mouth. Better fix that.", the man charged at her, two swords laying heavily at his sides.
"Huh?!", Checker was surprised to see that he was attacking, but she then took out her chain scythe and got ready to fight.
*Meanwhile*
"It's been awhile. let's check up on Checker.", Adolf got up and went toward Checker's room.
"OK.", Melody followed.
"WHAT?!", Melody heard Adolf outraged yell and she ran into the room. Adolf was holding up a note.
"What does it say?", Melody calmly looked at the note.
"HOW COULD SHE!?", Adolf hopped out the window.
"Adolf!", Melody yelled worriedly.
"She's coming back to this house whether she wants it or not!", Adolf stopped turning around to glare at Melody.
"Adolf, I'm coming with.", Melody followed without question. They jumped from roof to roof, finally catching the glint of blades. One of the fighters went for the other and strikes her down, "That's a hunter and..", Melody leaned for defining the looks of the one of the ground, "AND CHECKER!"
"CHECKER!", Adolf growled, jumping at the hunter and cut him across the back,"You piece of shit!"
"A-Adolf...", Checker mumbled.
"Stop this fighting! NOW!", Melody yelled, Adolf back off but stood growling, "Explain yourself, hunter." Melody pointed her blade at the hunter.
"I come with a message for Checker from yours truly, Hunter leader.", the hunter grabbed a note of his pocket and handed it to Checker.
Checker sat up, reading it:
YOU'LL ALL DIE WEAKLING!
Checker stood stunned, tears slowly formed and went down her face, she feel on her elbows.
"Checker? CHECKER! WHAT IS IT!?", Adolf's voice echoed in her ear.
The main words repeating in her head like fire were, YOU'LL ALL DIE WEAKLING!
"Checker, please answer us.", Melody looked at her eyes full of concern.
"I'll give you an answer all right.", Checker picked up her chain scythe, and stabbed Melody in the waist.
"AHHH!", Melody screamed in pain. Checker gave a demonic laugh and smile.
"C-Checker... don't make me fight you!", Adolf tried to sound brave, but fear was spreading in his eyes.
"You won't this fight is over all ready.", Checker ran past him with a slight cut, dispersing beside the hunter into the night.
"CHECKER!", Adolf yelled after her, tears streaming down his face.
"A-Adolf?', Melody mumbled while she squeezed her waist.
"Let's get you back to Star.", Adolf picked up Melody.
"What happened to her?", Melody buried her face in Adolf's shirt tears running down her face in pain.
*With Checker*
"I know this is going to be fun.", Checker smirked, blood ran down her side, and her hands.
"Of course, leader Checker.", the hunter stood behind Checker.
