Nina Williams slowed to a stop as soon as she got near the building. But the building was not as heavily guarded as it was normally. She was not expected, there were no guards to be aware of her presence, but still she held her gun.
Once inside, she traveled through many rooms, most of them empty, having neither guards nor computers, nothing that would be of use to her. It was almost as though the building were closing down; what had been in these rooms were now gone from it. So on she walked, until she found a room of interest. The room was deep into the heart of the factory.
The floor was white as if lights lay under the protective flooring. And standing by the door, was a familiar face, the face of someone Nina once called a friend, and there were not many.
"Well, Rose, we meet again," Nina stared as the young woman looked up at her with red eyes and almost as if she hid behind her hair. She whipped her red hair from her face before looking at Nina fully. "And you have betrayed me."
"Yes, and we were both said to have died once in our lives." The girl smirked.
"Oh, yes you and that filthy boy, Kazama, died a year ago now at least! It was when my bloody sister killed you both before meeting her own demise!" Nina recollected. "Does that mean she is yet again living as well then?" By this time she had put her gun away and slipped her knife in her belt.
"No. She was too far gone to save."
"Good. Now let's get this started now, shall we?"
Nina ran forward to strike Rose but was kicked. Knife in hand, she slashed up and down but Rose held her arm and prevented her from cutting. Rose only had a cut on her stomach and not a deep one at that. Nina was kicked yet again but this time her newly found rival had been swept off her feet and now lay on the floor looking up at Nina. Once Rose got to her feet, Nina attempted to throw the knife at her but missed Rose, hitting the wall. Rose, standing right next to the wall, pulled out the knife and threw it back at Nina. The knife grazed her shoulder.
Nina cursed out loud and grabbed the knife from the floor and ran back the way she came. And as she ran, she pulled her gun and shot a bullet in Rose's leg. "Rose has grown stronger than in our last meeting." Outside as she was leaving came Jin.
"Did you succeed?" Nina didn't answer, she just kept walking. "You do know why Rose and I are alive, don't you?"
To this she answered, "I don't wanna know your filthy stories Kazama." But she still didn't stop. Nina didn't stop until she was where she knew that she could rest. She'd had many bruises and a few cuts. That wasn't bad for her but she knew that Rose had the better end so she had to leave before she couldn't raise her health back to full.
Back in Nina's hotel room, she stripped her clothes from her body and jumped in the shower. She watched as the blood swirled around by the drain. Nina washed her hair and body and then dried herself off with a towel. Once she had on a new set of clothes, she curled up in bed and sleep came over her.
