Lust enjoyed toying with her prey. Especially when her prey was someone like Scar. Eventually she'd kill him, but not yet. Not when she could still take pleasure in taunting him. It had been almost a month since their last encounter. She looked down on her prey from her perch on the roof and smiled to herself. It was a dark night and her pale skin shown brightly in the moonlight.
Lust jumped off the roof and landed in the street without making a sound. She quietly snuck up behind Scar and then…
"Stop", he said to her, "I'm aware of your presence".
Scar turned around to face Lust who smiled her cold smile at him.
"You know you're the first whose avoided having their throat slit that way?", she said to him.
"What do you want?", he said to her.
"I was just out enjoying the night and I happened to find you", Lust said to him, "but you don't appear to be in the mood to see me".
"When was the last time I wanted to see you?"
"I can think of a time, and place when you would've loved to see me", Lust said to him.
Scars face hardened and he turned away.
"You know nothing of her. You were never the woman she was and you never will be", Scar snapped at her.
Scar started to walk away but Lust followed, enjoying every minute of it.
"Now you've gone and hurt my feelings again".
"What feelings! How can I hurt the feelings of one who posses none?", Scar said angrily to her.
Lust didn't answer. She'd gotten what she wanted out of him, and she was content, for now.
"I'll see you around Scar", Lust said turning to leave, "oh, you might want to keep that temper of yours under control. It just might be you're undoing".

Scar sat down in the alleyway and leaned his back against the wall. He looked at the locket in his hands and sighed.
"What have I become?", he said aloud, "I'm nothing more than a common murderer".
It felt good to be admitting that fact, and he was glad Lust wasn't here for she would've surely mocked him for it. Has much as he didn't want to he was forming a connection with her. He didn't believe in coincidence. In his mind, Lust was either stalking him or it was fate, and he didn't believe in fate either.
Scar ran a hand through his gray and white hair and sighed. Has much as he tried to avoid her their paths still seemed to cross. And he hated to admit it, but he enjoyed his time with her. Yet he hated her at the same time because of what she represented to him. She represented a woman that he'd once loved, a woman who had died and been resurrected using forbidden practices.
"Hey buddy, you got any change?", a voice asked him.
Scar turned to see an old beggar with a bottle in his hand approaching him.
"What?", Scar said to him.
"I said, do you have any change?".
Scar ignored the beggar and put the locket away. Even so, the beggar persisted.
"Having a bad night?", he asked Scar.
"That's none of your business", Scar replied.
"That means yes in my book", the beggar said to Scar sitting down next to him.
The beggar offered Scar his bottle.
"You want a drink?"
Scar ignored him and the beggar lowered his bottle.
"That bad huh? Women can be that way".
Scar looked up at this and turned to the beggar, surprise on his face.
"How did you know it was a woman?".
The beggar grinned. "Trust me buddy, I've known a lot of women in my day. Enough to know when someone's upset over one".
"It's none of your business", Scar said looking away.
The beggar took a sip from his bottle.
"Look buddy, you need to loosen up a bit. Being all tense like that ain't good for ya'. Go to a bar, get drunk and find some women to sleep with for one night. Trust me, it'll help get your mind off whatever it is you're thinking about".
"I don't need your advice old man", Scar said back.
"Fine then, suit yourself buddy", the beggar said standing up.
Scar watched has the beggar walked away. The beggar stopped, and then turned around.
"Oh, and Scar, another bit of advice. There's a hotel on the corner. It's a shithole but they won't rat you out to the State. Besides, you could use some sleep".
Scar watched has the beggar walked away into the night, and then sighed. "He's right", Scar admitted to himself. Scar stood up, and walked in the direction of the hotel.
