Nina stood there, watching the door as it was violently splitting before her. But she had to snap out of her daze. "I'm not going out like this!" She shouted to herself and picked up the gun again. She knew that staying in the room would increase her chances of getting killed possibly. She quickly ran to another door that was in her room. It connected to another area, and she was going to take her chances of escaping. As she escaped the room, and continued to run. The loud banging couldn't be heard anymore at this point. She wasn't sure if they had given up, or she was too far away and was safe. She went to the nearest window, seeing if there would anyone outside she could call to help her. "Wait a minute, since when the hell did I ever need help. I can do this myself…" She stubbornly said to herself. She froze when she heard the strange breathing again. "Shit…" She cursed. When she turned around, she saw something nearing her, but couldn't really make out what the hell it was. Her reflexes kicked in, making her shoot wildly at whatever it was that was breathing. It didn't flinch when the bullets came in contact with it's flesh.
"What the fuck…are you?" She asked, completely devastated. The only person she knew that could take bullets to the head, or anywhere without reacting in pain was Bryan Fury. But…this thing obviously wasn't him. The laughter from it sure as hell sounded creepy like his though. She tried to remain calm, but when she caught the shadowy creature's white gaze, she freaked out. "I have to get the hell out of here!" She shouted to herself. But she realized that there was nowhere to go. She either had to stay and accept her fate, or jump out of the window. But it was a long way down, the possibility of her getting injured was pretty high. Not even thinking about her options twice, she flung herself outside the window, hoping she'd crash into something soft. When she hit the ground, Nina couldn't feel her body against the cold wet ground. She was unconscious, and vulnerable at that.
"Nina, Nina wake up!"
She heard a rather loud voice call her. She tried to stir from her sleep and wake up. Whoever was calling her continued to shake her, trying to get a positive reaction out of her. When Nina opened her eyes, she saw Anna standing over the bed she was laying in.
"What…?" She uttered confusedly. Nina sat up and stared at Anna, who looked more worried than anything. "Nina, thank god you're okay…just what the hell were you doing outside in the rain!?" She yelled at her. Nina didn't flinch, she just stared down at her lap. "So it wasn't a dream…" Anna heard her sister mumble. "Nina, what the hell's going on with you? You're acting loopy again. What is it this time? You had a nightmare?" She asked in a teasing voice.
Nina gave Anna a look of fear that she thought she'd never see. "Yes Anna. I had a nightmare, only I was awake…."
Anna stared at her older sibling as if she lost her mind. Had she snapped? "W…what happened?" Anna scooted closer to Nina on the bed. She was grasping that fact that Nina was serious about this.
"White eyes…they were looking right at me. I thought I was going to be mauled, Anna." Nina half whispered. She had never seen Nina afraid of anything. Even when they were kids. She remembered when she would be afraid of the dark. But instead of comforting her younger sister, Nina would tell her that the dark was a good place to be. Anna was beginning to think that Nina had a few loose screws in her head. But that wouldn't be too surprising on her end at all.
"You saw white eyes? Someone broke into your house, right? So why didn't you just go trigger-happy like you usually do?"
"I did. I shot it multiples times. It didn't scream in pain. It didn't even flinch. It just laughed at me…"
"Wow, sounds a lot like Bryan."
"I know, only it wasn't him." Nina told her. "And how would you know that for sure Nina? You're pretty much the type of woman who puts everyone under the same category." Anna said to her while she got up.
"Don't patronize me Anna. I knew you of all people wouldn't believe me." Nina spat bitterly as she got up as well. She began to remember that she threw herself out of her own window. So why wasn't she hurt? Something was definitely wrong with this picture.
"Anna, when you found me out in the rain, did you by any chance…notice anything strange?" She hesitantly asked.
"Other than you flinging your fat ass outside your own window, no." Anna responded to her.
"Then why is it that I'm not injured? Have you ever thought of that dumbass?" Nina shot back at her. The angered look on her face suddenly made Nina smile victoriously. She loved that priceless look she'd make when she insulted her.
"How the hell should I know? I should've left your ungrateful ass in the rain." Anna spat venomously. "Hm, maybe you should've. I didn't tell you to help me, now did I?"
"Idiot, I helped you because I cared!"
"How quaint."
She hated it when Nina acted that way towards her. But it was nothing new. "Anyway, you can use my shower and borrow my clothes miss holier-than-thou. I have more important things to tend to." She grabbed her purse and grinned at Nina. "Don't tell me that you're still working for G Corp…" Nina sounded extremely disdained. "Well of course I am. You don't think I could ever stop working for a man like Kazuya, do you?"
"Sounds like you're doing more than just work."
"I have a busy schedule, that's all."
"And in that schedule book, you have plans for fucking, am I right?"
Anna gave her a snooty 'humph!' and walked off. "I'm not even sure if I want to wear her clothes…" Nina uttered, shaking her head.
After she showered, she went straight for Anna's closet and sighed deeply. "The hardest decision I've ever had to make in my life…" She started going through her clothes, not finding something of her taste. "The further I go walk into this closet, the more I feel repulsed by these clothes." She argues to herself. She finally found sound to wear. It didn't cover up much of her skin, but it was better than being naked. She came of out of her closet and helped herself to Anna's makeup as well. She looked at herself in the mirror, talking to herself.
"Funny, isn't it Nina? How you were scared out of your own house last night, and today, you're okay?" She didn't know why the outrageous fear she head was gone so sudden. Maybe it had something to do with talking to Anna about it. It didn't matter to her. Either way, Nina knew the fear would seep back into her again sooner or later. Because whether she liked it or not, she had to go back home. She wasn't going to ask Anna to come with her. She'd just insult her the whole time and call her a paranoid bitch. Ironically, she spotted the annoying brunette from the corner of her eyes.
"I see you helped yourself to my makeup." She strutted her way over to Nina. "Anna, I thought you said you had a busy schedule?" Nina mocked her.
"Forget the schedule…I'm taking you home." Nina gazed at her in shock. Anna only took her sister by the hand and pulled her along.
During their ride to her home, Nina was telling her about everything that happened that night. Anna herself thought what Nina was telling her was a bit spooky. Maybe she wasn't lying after all.
Anna stepped inside of Nina's home, looking around for anything suspicious. "Where exactly did you hear the strange sounds coming from?" Anna asked as she watched Nina walk ahead of her. "Upstairs. There were sounds coming from the halls. Like someone's nails scraping against the walls along with whispering."
"You sure you haven't overdosed on your meds Nina?"
"Shut it Anna, I thought you'd take this more seriously."
"I am. It just feels strange, ghost hunting and all. Besides, if anything jumps out of the closet, that's what my M-16 is for."
"Very funny Anna…" Nina replied to her remark. When they reached upstairs, they walked in the middle of the hall and stood there. "I don't see any marks on your walls. So I guess you were imagining it." Anna laughed.
"I didn't Anna. I really didn't. Look in in my bedroom for more proof someone else was here." Nina pointed in the direction of where her room was. Anna only snorted lightly and walked inside the room, crossing her arms. "Your door's busted…pretty badly…" She looked around some more and entered the room Nina had shattered her window from trying to escape the other night.
"So this is the window you jumped out of…I'm surprised you managed to survived. That's a big fall." Anna said as she faced Nina.
"So do you believe me now Anna?"
"Someone was here, but I doubt it was a demon. Whatever it was that tried to attack you is gone now."
"Are you saying that I'm doing this for attention Anna?"
Anna slyly smirked and shrugged her shoulders. "Nina, why ever would you say that? Besides, I know how you are at times." Anna continued to rant to Nina, but it only came out as incoherent chattering. It wasn't because she wasn't interested in what Anna was saying, it was what she saw behind her that caught her attention. It was a large gargoyle preparing to fly through the broken window. Nina quickly ran to pick up her pistol and shouted,
"Get down Anna!!" Before Anna could even say anything, she quickly ducked, hearing Nina shoot like crazy at something. The gargoyle roared and fell the to the ground with a loud crash. Anna stood up straight and peered out the window to find a dead demon on its back. "Ugh, disgusting creature!" She yelled in a disdainful tone.. Nina dropped her gun and slumped to the ground.
"It's official…I've seen it all." Nina dryly sighed to Anna.
The whole demon situation really bothered the Williams sisters, but it got to Nina even more because she knew she was a target. Nina was currently at the Mishima Zaibatsu. She had taken up the offer of seeing if the man Lars spoke of was really some sort of monster. She had more than enough proof now that these demons are real. It shouldn't have been a surprise for her, since she realized that Heihachi has a pet bear who can speak to humans, and Azazel did all sorts of bizarre things.
She was being escorted to the throne room by a brunette dressed in a black dress suit. She had a strange vibe about her. It was probably those strange eyes she had. They were emerald, and had a dim glow to them. But she seemed quite normal to Nina, so she didn't say anything about it.
Nina walked alongside the brunette, whose name was Reiko, observing how much the place changed. It seemed the same actually, but something about the atmosphere seemed strange. "Is it just me, or does it feel like breathing in the place has gotten a lot harder to do?" She asked while she glanced over at her. Reiko's half lidded eyes slowly looked at Nina. "Sometimes, the air tends to be that way because of the weather. It is nothing to concern yourself with Ms. Williams." She explained, looking straight ahead. When they reached the heavily decorated doors that lead to the throne room, Reiko stopped and looked at Nina.
"Well, this is as far as I go. I will take my leave now Ms. Williams." Reiko bowed her head to her. "Thanks." Was all Nina said to her. "You're welcome." Reiko said in the most devious tone ever. Nina could've sworn that Reiko was grinning as she left.
The men that blocked the doors finally opened it for her so she could walk in. The moment she walked in, she felt incredibly cold. Inside the throne room, it was a bit dark. Plus, the men inside looked a bit…sketchy. She couldn't put her finger on it, but something wasn't right. But if they tried anything funny, she always had her gun with her. She walked up to the person sitting before her, but left an incredibly huge gap between them. She didn't want to get extremely close to whoever this person was.
"So, you're the big bad boss that I've heard so much about. So tell me, are you really a Mishima, or are you using this as a cover-up for whatever you're planning to do to this world?" She asked with a blank expression. The man sitting at the throne didn't reply.
She couldn't really see his face, the shadows were hiding it from her. She could see the rest of his body, and half of his face, nothing more. He seemed a bit pale, so she noticed. 'Maybe if he actually turned the lights on in this damn room, he wouldn't be so pale…freak.' She thought to herself.
"Why would you like for me to protect you? Aren't there any other assassins that can protect you, Mr. Monster?" She sarcastically spoke as she grinned. The guards didn't seem to like her attitude, murmuring amongst each other. The man sitting at his throne raised his hand, silencing them. After they settled down, it was quiet again. All she could hear was thunder from the storm outside.
"Seems your goons didn't like my little joke." She lightly said to him. There was still no reply from him. It was beginning to piss her off. Why wouldn't he talk?
"Okay, you're starting to piss me off with your silence. Here's some advice for you; if you're going make a name for yourself, Mr. Monster, maybe you should consider a more fearful title. And another thing, instead of sitting there like the dumbass that you are, you could at least try to make some sort of conversation with me. I came all this way to see what the big fuss was about with this new 'Mishima' bullshit, but I only see a speechless coward before me. You and your brown-nosing goons…" She stopped talking, only to find a smirk forming across his lips. She thought he'd say something by now. She sighed deeply and turned around. "I can see that Lars greatly exaggerated when he said that the leader of this Zaibatsu was a 'monster'. I'm going back home." She snorted. As she turned on her heels and walked off, the guards blocked her way.
Nina watched them all. She had a chance to get a good look at each of them and turned back around to face the quiet man again. "You're not seriously planning on keeping me in here, do you Mr. Mishima? I'll have you know that I'm well known around this city. You think you can keep the Black Scorpion trapped in here without getting your ass kicked? You may be the ruler around here, but you'll never be the true ruler that Jin Kazama was." She sneered. She suddenly felt a gun pressing against the back of her head.
"How dare you speak to lord Mishima that way bitch!" One of them roared. Nina simply elbowed him in the throat and threw him over her shoulder. The sound of several clicks told Nina that they were preparing to shoot her if she dared to try to attack again. She only smirked, planting her foot on the man's face. She saw the man who was partially hidden in the shadow suddenly rise to his feet. As he slowly stepped down from the throne, She watched his face carefully. Once his face was visible, her eyes were wide as saucers.
"You're quite the enigma, aren't you Nina?" He chuckled and stepped in front of her.
"J…Jin…you're alive?" She asked in disbelief. She was too shocked to notice anything weird about his voice at the moment.
"Jin? I am not Jin." He protested as he slowly took off the shades he was wearing. Nina met his white gaze, and immediately remembered seeing those same eyes the other night. Her words were caught in her throat because of the sudden surprise. She was before her predator…and he was before his prey…
What will happen to Nina!? We'll find out next time!lol
