Venomous Failure
Amber
Oh wowie hold onto your seats everyone, this story bout to go from 0-100 with no logic included anymore ;,)
"UGH!"
Amber threw her dagger in fury as it hit the alleywall.
A little bit ago she had just gotten news that Jack, the boy who was supposed to be delivered to Sunset Tower that night, had just escaped and stole a trading ship, holding a ship captain hostage, and sailed away. She was furious, and most likely in trouble.
"I should've put more guards! I should've went on the ship with him and not have to patrol with stupid city!" She shouted, her mask thrown to the floor and cracked by the impact, laying there face up with no life. Her red cloak hood was down showing her face and French tight braids, he face smudged with dirt and small hairs sticking up from the braids meaning the braids had been there for awhile. Amber took a deep breath and struggled to stay calm.
Clouds gathered around the sky as rain drizzled down lightly.
"I have to find him and bring him back, he lied that the girl was in Zhong!" She hissed the last part holding her head, Jinx, the jaguar who had been watching her fury fit from afar, slowly padded up and gently pressed against her thigh, Amber reached down and placed a hand on the big cats back.
Suddenlythere was a crack of lightning near by, Amber jumped and looked at the entrance of the alley to see if it hit anything near here, but all that was there blacking her view was the sillought of a boy, he was lean and taller than Amber, he lurked toward her in a threatening matter.
"I couldn't help but..." he started and as he came closer, Amber could see his features.
Tan skin, his black thick hair tightly braided in thin sections with silver beads on the right side of his head, he had silver eyes and some black bangs going to the right side of his face slanted down, a slight scar was over his right eye, and he wore a black silver buckle jacket and black pants with boots that were splattered with something that was a red tint. He looked handsome and rich in a way, he had two seethes of long sharp daggers at his side.
"... over hear your...frustrations" his tongue make a slight clicking sound and Jinx barred her teeth and stared at him from Ambers side, she looked amazed by his apperence.
"Who are y-you? W-What do you want?" Amber managed to spat out.
When he approached Ambers White mask shaped into a jaguar face, he looked down, kicked it up with his foot with a small swift movement and ran his thumb over the thin material.
"A red cloak I see..." he observed a slight smirk on his face.
"Hmf" he suddenly threw the mask behind him as it clattered into the streets. Amber watched and looked up at him.
"Let's make a deal shall we?" He said smiling smugly, Amber realized she was staring and shook her head.
"E-Excuse me?" She stuttered out
"I know your frustrations..., of failer and... disappointment, but if you help me... I'll capture whoever you need" He answered, Jinx snarled, something was wrong about him, Jinx could tell and Amber could only guess.
"I don't even know w-who you are!" She yelled at him, baring her fists.
"Most people don't ever know who there working for..." he replied stopping four feet in front of her.
"It makes it more thrilling and instresting when you don't know" he continued.
"Besides it's not like you have a choice or anything... else" he smirked.
"W-What do you mean I-I don't have a choice?" Amber demanded.
The boy gave a short whistle, and in a quick flash he had his gloved hands hooked onto her throats and had shoved her into the brick wall, Jinx yowled, hissed and growled, like she was trying to reach Amber. But something was stopping her.
"J-Jinx!" She yelled out, but Jinx seemed to be busy. The boy had tilted her head up and gave her neck a squeeze, she chocked, and tried to to pull his hand away.
"Put your spirit animal in Passive Form if you will... I don't want this to get, to messy" he losses the grip and Amber held out her hand, in a flash of light Jinx was tattooed on he skin.
Suddenly the boy let go, but in a quick movement had her on her knees, in front of him with her arms pulled back along with her head. That's when Amber saw it.
It had fangs as sharp as daggers, eyes formed into slits and skin of different colors of light brown, it's tail shook slightly and a rattling sound could be heard, Fear and Panic moved threw Amber as she desperately struggled.
"I will get you this boy you speak of... only if you get me something... in return... Do we have a deal Redcloak?"
"F-Fine!" She chocked out. "D-Deal!"
The boy chuckled and let go of her.
"Good choice~"
