Sorry I'm a little late, I haven't had time to edit it. It's still not the best but i just wanted to post it.
I sat still on the ledge as I saw two girls walk out of the alley. One was dressed in almost all yellow, which was quite blinding to be honest, and the other one was in a mix of red and gray. I had seen them earlier while they were dancing, but they hadn't really caught my attention. I started to walk away from them until I heard hoof-steps approaching. At that point, I turned back around just to see them running off in different directions. I followed them, just to make sure they were alright, and that's where I am now. Up on a ledge, keeping careful watch over two young girls.
Once I saw them exit the alley, with no visible injuries, I stood up and jumped down to another ledge. I quietly landed on my paws, checked my surroundings, then jumped down to the ground. I ran in the opposite direction of the girls, turning through the many back streets of the city.
After about a half hour, I made it to a door inscribed into the side of one of the buildings. I tapped my paw against it three times, paused, then four more times. I backed up as it opened to reveal a small foyer. I quietly padded inside, letting the door slide close behind me. I walked past the front room, through the kitchen, and into my bedroom. It was small space, with a bed, some curtains, a rug, a dresser, a bedside table, and an oil lamp. Along with those, I had bookshelves lining the walls, a small cabinet full of ingredients, feathers and crystals hanging from the ceiling, and an assortment of maps all over the floor. It was quite messy, but it worked perfectly fine.
I walked to the edge of my bed before jumping up onto it and curling in on my self.
'Ad me ut forma humana'
A soft, purple glow filled the room. It died down a minute later and I uncurled my self; I stretched my hands over my head and arched my back. I stood up and carefully maneuvered myself from my bed to the dresser on the other side. I opened the top drawer and grabbed a pair of dark purple panties. I also pulled out a tight strip of fabric. I put on both my panties and the fabric, which went over my breast, before closing the drawer. Then I opened the second drawer and grabbed a purple top. It was made of linen, had a boat neckline, and the sleeves were more like straps. The hem of it ended right under my bust. I quickly slipped it on, pushed the drawer closed, then moved on to the next one. I opened it to see an array of silk skirts. Some short, some long, and all in a rang of different colors. I rifeled through them, trying to find the one I wanted. Apparently, I have more skirts then I thought. I finally found the one I wanted after a few seconds, it was made of black silk with a purple trim and it had a sheer overlaying layer trimmed with silver coins. It went down to my knees and bellowed out when I spin. It's my favorite skirt. I closed the drawer and slipped on the skirt.
Having gotten dressed, I turned towards one of my book shelves. I scanned through its contents, looking for my spell book. I have to reset the code on my door.
"Ah, here it is." I plucked it off the shelf and made my way towards the kitchen, skipping to the page I needed. I made it half way to the door before a thought hit me. I froze mid-stride and sighed. I closed the book in my hands and threw it onto the counter; I could fell the exasperation pointed towards myself.
'I've been doing this for years, I don't need to read it from a book anymore. I have the entire book memorized, for oum's sake!"
I recommenced my trip to the door. Once I got there, I put my hand upon it and closed my eyes.
'Signum reset'
After casting the spell, I went back to my room. I picked out another book from my shelves, this time a fairy tale, and fell onto my bed. I was exhausted. Today was a busy day. First I went to the market, then I went to the black market, after that I went to the seamstress to help with customers (you could say it's my job), then I stopped by the two girls and watched them dance. Even if they did get chased by guards afterwards, I'd say I ended the day on a quite relaxing note.
I was half way through my book when I heard a thud. I brushed it off as just being the people above me, they had two kids after all, but then I heard a scream- followed by the crash of metal. My ears perked up at the sharp sound. I instantly sat up and put my book to the side, taking care to mark my spot. I swung my legs over the side of my bed; through the window I could see that it was already dark, the full moon high in the sky.
'How long have I been reading?'
it had been a few hours at most. I ignored my bare feet and made my way out of my room. I was just turning into the kitchen when I heard another shout, more like a couple of shouts.
"Let me go, you bastard!"
"You have no right to speak to me like that, Gypsy!"
My heart stopped when I heard the word. I ran the rest of the way to the front door. I peaked through the window, trying to asses the situation before barging into it. What I saw made my stomach jump into my throat. It was the same two girls I had seen dancing earlier today. The blonde one was being held back by three men; I could see her thrashing about. She kicked them and tried to punch them but her hands her being held behind her back. The men pushed her to the ground, forcing her to kneel, and I swear I saw her eyes flash red.
I saw her staring off to the other end of the alley, and followed her gaze to see the other girl being held against the wall by a guard. Thanks to my night vision, I could see her struggling to get out of his grasp, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her shirt was ripped open down the middle, revealing the tattered piece of fabric wrapped around her breast that was also split in two. Every time she got one of her hands free, it shot to her chest, trying to cover it up as much as possible, until the man would grab her hand and pin it up above her head once again. He put both of her wrists into one of his hands, then used one of his legs to kick her legs apart, almost making her fall to the ground if it wasn't for the hold on her wrist. So far she had been fairly quiet, only some sobs and broken shouts here and there, but then the man moved his hand to the top of her skirt. He ran his fingers along it, hooking his index and middle fingers under it before yanking it down. He pulled both her skirt and panties in one move, and she was completely exposed. She then started to really yell. Her screams echoed off the walls and I'm sure everyone within a mile radius heard it. She screamed and kicked, barely staying on her feet.
I then heard another clash of metal, and turned my head back to the blonde, just in time to see one of the guards fall to the ground unconscious. The woman had freed herself and started running towards the presumably younger girl before she was dog-piled by the other two men. My ears picked up the sound of drawstring and buttons being undone, so I turned to the other end of the alley and saw the guard pull down his pants. That's when my body finally caught up with my mind and I rushed out the door. It opened with a loud scrape against the ground, making the men turn their heads to me. Before they could react I ran towards the one holding the girl in red and round kicked him in the head; I then used my momentum to deliver a hook kick right afterwards. I grabbed the back of his head and pulled it down to meet my knee. I heard a crack and felt blood run onto my leg. Finally I grabbed both sides of his head, at the temples, and my hands glowed as I whisper a spell, causing him to fall limp to the ground. I hurriedly produced a cloak and draped it over the girl, who was now shivering and sitting at the base of the wall. I quickly checked over her, looking for any major injuries, before turning to look at the blonde.
She was locked with one of the guards, throwing punches and kicks here and there. She landed some solid hits on him, throwing him off balance, where she then ducked down and swept her leg at his. He fell over backwards and she took the opportunity to bring her elbow down at his nose. I heard it crack, then she punched him in the gut, and I saw some blood fly out of his mouth.
'That girl is crazy strong.'
The guy fell unconscious as well. The girl stood over him, breathing heavily. That's when I noticed the other guard creeping up behind her. Just as he was about to bring his dagger down into her back, my hand shot out in front of me.
"Tolle!" (Away)
Purple light knocked against the guard and he flew back 10 feet, crashing his head against the wall and falling unconscious. I moved my gaze to the blonde's figure, just to see her running past me towards the other girl.
"Ruby! Oh my oum, are you ok? Please tell me you're ok!"
I stood up straight and watched the two girls interact. The blonde one wrapped her arms around the other one, who I think is named Ruby, whispering into her ear and stroking her hair. I could she her start to rock back and forth as Ruby buried her head into the woman's neck and started crying. I could see her shoulders shaking and hear both of their heartbeats, more then 100 beats a minute. I let them cry and hug each other for a few minutes, trying not to seem too awkward, before slowly approaching them. I walked up to their sides, and stood about 6 feet away. I didn't want them to feel threatened.
"Um, excuse me?"
The taller girl turned her head towards me and I saw her eyes widen.
"Oh, um, hi, yes… you helped us?" She looked back to Ruby and squeezed her arms tighter around her. "Thank you, for helping." She didn't look back up to me.
"If you want," I started, "You can come into my house. I have some… extra cloths that Ruby(?) can have. And I can help with your wounds and make you both some tea or coffee… If you'd like. Y-you don't have to accept the offer, I just wanted to… you know…um." I looked down to the ground when the woman didn't say a word. I slowly started to back away, a blush ragging on my cheeks. "Never mind." I turned away, heading to my door, when the woman called out.
"Wait!"
I Looked back over my shoulder and saw the blonde getting off of the ground. She was carrying Ruby bridal style in her arms. I waited as she straightened up. She carefully took a step forwards before stopping, she looked me in the eye. I could see the silent question in her eye. 'may I follow?'
"Come along." I waved my hand and started walking forwards again.
"My… My name is Yang. And this is my sister Ruby."
She walked up besides me. We were at the that door and I asked her to step back as I knocked on the wall.
Three taps, pause, four taps.
I heard Yang gasp slightly as the door slide open. I heard her mutter under her breath, something about me being a faunus and a mage. Which is partly true.
I lead her into the foyer. The door closed behind her and we continued to walk until we came to a little room opposite of my room. It had a bookshelf full of supplies, bandages and ointments and ingredients and such, a small bed, and a few chairs.
"My name is Blake." I started grabbing things off of the shelves and turned back towards the two gypsies. "Just lay Ruby down on the bed and sit yourself down on one of the chairs."
I carefully started taking the cloak off of a now sleeping Ruby and looked over her wounds first. Then I went to Yang and checked her injuries. After analyzing them, I knew what I would need and ran to the kitchen to grab the supplies.
"I'm going to go get the things to dress your guys' injuries. I'll be right back."
This is latin.
