HER
Their fierce gaze burned at the ring of fire that surrounded the forest trees and the ground at their feet. It burned at their skin but no one dared to make a move or have their eyes leave the monster standing on the other side. The darkness of the wilderness was not comforting for this special ops team. They were supposed to rule the darkness when it came. To snuff out there opponents without a sound or struggle, and yet knowing that this 'thing' was in front of them made their body crawl like fire ants coating their skin.

Very slowly, the creature walked through the ring of fire that surrounded it and came out unarmed and unsinged. It was like the uncontrollable flames didn't want to touch her either. Yes, it was a woman though. It still bewildered them that the monster they been chasing, attempting to catch for months, for years was nothing more than a girl. She wore a long white dress with purple sleeves, brown leather shoes and wore a long gray coat that fell to her knees. Her face remained hidden though by the hood that she wore consistently.

"It appears that you are looking for me, right?" She spoke at last, and her very voice caught them off guard. Her voice was very soft and kind-sounding, almost as deceiving at the gentle smile adapted to her lips like it was a natural movement.

Krantz was the leader of the DA-5, unrivaled to everyone and strong enough to take on almost everything, felt an extream amount of pressure coming from her. Still, he took a confident step forward, his large body towering over the woman who was only 5'4, compared to his giant figure. "You stopped running. Why is that?" He demanded with a stern voice.

The smile on her lips didn't fade and neither did her kind and soft voice. "I've been running for a very long time, but I only noticed recently that... it seems to be a new group that's been chasing me up and down these parts." She gave an awkward laugh and scratched her cheek like she was embarrassed somehow. "I thought it would be rude of me not to see who it was...and I thought it would be a good opportunity to rest my legs since I'm actually starting to get a bit tired." She suddenly clapped her hands together. "So...do you young men need something from me?" She lifted her head a bit and her sharp, ruby gaze pierced and shot their iron-clad confidence down.

The wind picked up harshly and made the flames uncontrollable and dangerous to be around. The gust of wind swept up from under their feet and flew the loose fabric all over the place, ripping her hood right off her head. Her pale, ivory skin looked like it was made of untouched porcelain that showed off her scarlet eyes that pierced through the dark veil and resembled the burning wildfire. Her hair was a deep, volumes purple color that was slightly wavy and whipped around her face while staring quite innocently up at this man.

Krantz turned and reached for his earpiece. He looked at the monster from the corner of his eyes and saw that she hasn't moved from her spot, just smiling patiently. "Tao, mission complete. We'll all gather at the requested location in 2 hours. If there's anything that needs to be taken care of, then do it now."

"Huh?" Tao called from the other end. "It's already over? What did you do? What happened?" He asked. They were on this mission for so long, just chasing this thing, so it seems unlikely that it would be over on the first day they personally met her.

"I did nothing. She just stopped running and begun talking." He spoke those words grimly.

"What~ That's so weird. Well, guess it's a miracle that it ended like this. She was a hell of a good runner."

Krantz looked over to his other companions, Shark and Hammer. "We're done here. We'll be starting our next mission as of now."

Shark's face contorted with annoyance since he didn't get to fight with her. "Huh? It's over?" Shark swung his twisted looking blade around. "And I was wanting to go tow-to-tow with this monster too." Shark grinned and strolled over to the woman and waved his blade in her face. The sudden bold act made her move her head back away from the knife. Shark gave an eerie chuckle at her reaction.

"Please don't wave such a weapon around in someones face." The air around her suddenly became heavy like led. Shark froze with the knife still in her face. The frightening atmosphere around her vanished though without a trace and she let out this careless laugh. "Someone could get seriously hurt." She giggled like she was talking to an old friend.

The veins in sharks eyes became visible. "You..." He hands shook. The sudden anger swelling within him made him unable to get his words out. How was this girl able to manifest so much blood-lust in seconds, but let it go like it was a joke? Every word that left her mouth was starting to piss him off. "I'll show you...who's gonna get hurt!" He screamed at her and swung his blade down, but in a blink of an eye his blade only made contact with the earth and the girl was gone. "Huh?"

"You should be careful, you know." Her sweet voice whispered in his ear. "If you do that then people might get the wrong idea."

Shark gasped. He didn't move his head but only his eyes. Looking over his shoulder was nonother then the girl. How? That is what he was asking now. The only words that circled his head. How was she able to move like that. He didn't even see any actions like she was going to move either. She vanished for a second and appeared right behind him before his blade even reached the ground.

"You could..." She smiled as if nothing happened. "seriously hurt someone."

This girl, this monster. They knew nothing of her. There were no records of any sort. Age, appearance, gender, race, ability. She has been but a ghost and a rumor in the Union's system files for years. They knew nothing of this woman. And that made Shark realize...just how big the gap was between them.
