Corrected some spelling, and added maybe a couple of new sentences. EnjoY!

"You stupid girl!" Flatnose yelled.

A fire started in the middle of the church where the men all sat and ate. The place smelled of roasted meats, wine, rum, pastries, and more all because of the haul that the men brought in from another unfortunate family. Ann couldn't stand how the men could just sit and eat of what the family had, with no remorse or any bad feelings at all. The men weren't born this way, so what had gone wrong with them as children? Ann would never understand. All she knew, was that it was raining out, she was bored, and Flatnose was still her bodyguard until Capricorn found that she no longer needed one.

The leader himself sat at his throne at the head of the church, a bored expression played across of his face. Today he dressed in yet another suit of red and black, making his white eyes stick out more than usual. But amusement showed when he noticed the flame catch at the flat faced man's jacket. He didn't care what happened about what happened to his men, as long as they did what was told, then they could live. If not…

"Damn it Ann! What the hell is wrong with you?! When I get my hands on your neck you'll wish you never caught my jacket on fire!"

While the man was roaring his head off, his jacket continued to burn, making the church begin to smell of burning leather.

"Oops! Sorry Flatnose, I guess my match got a little too close to your jacket. You know you really shouldn't wear that thing to dinner, after all you'll get food caught on your sleeves." The girl laughed. Ann was feeling more and more chaotic now that she had been at the black jackets base for a while, and she was feeling her hope slowly fade away, along with her faith of Dustfinger.

Ann's thoughts were interrupted when she felt a pair of large hands wrap themselves tightly around her slim neck. She let out a gasping breath.

"Gotcha! And now your gonna pay back for your little stunt against my jacket—"

"Flatnose, release her. I can assure you that you would be doing something much more disrupting if you were in Ann's position right now. Now release her and finish eating. It's a time for celebrating, not fighting." Capricorns voice held some amusement as he saw his servants satisfying grin falter when he ordered Ann's release. "Let her go Flatnose."

But Flatnose didn't let go of the girl. Instead, he grabbed both the girls' arms and flung her towards another table full of eating black jackets. The man was tired of seeing the girl get away with every little thing she did. Whether it was throwing rocks, kicking him, mocking him, and even lighting him on fire. Enough was enough.

"No! I'm sorry my Lord, but she is making you go soft on punishment these days! I mean everything she does to us, your men, she gets away with. Just the other day she tripped Cockerel and you know how bad his limp is and then she threw a limb at Tailgater!"

Ann groaned as she hit the ground with a 'thump' and landed on several glasses and plates while the men moved far away from her. They didn't move because of her, no, they moved because of Capricorns glare. Capricorn, once holding the bored expression, suddenly was the most fearsome man on the planet. But, before the man could make a move toward his insubordinate, Ann was suddenly on her feet and attacking Flatnose.

"You bloody BASTARD!" Ann yelled. She jumped onto his back and reached to his face to scratch him across his face. "YOU THINK I ENJOY STAYING HERE WITH ALL OF YOU? YOU THINK I ENJOY HEARING ABOUT WHAT YOU DO TO EVERYONE ELSE WHO DOESN'T WEAR A DAMN BLACK JACKET? WELL YOUR WRONG YOU FLAT FACED MORON!" Ann by now had made several deep gashes into the mans face, and Flatnose was suddenly gasping for breath while the girl on his back tried to choke him. "YOU TOOK HIM AWAY FROM ME! YOU…you…took Dustfinger…"

The once angry, hellcat looking Ann, suddenly sobbed. All the anger she had was pouring out of her, and now all she had left was sadness and cuts. That's all she ever had.

Capricorn walked over the Ann, and pulled her away from Flatnose, who as soon was free of Ann; fell on the ground holding his face in pain.

The pale man led Ann over to his seat, while he walked over to Flatnose and pulled the man up by the scruff of his neck.

"So dear Flatnose, you think that my discipline is going soft do you? Well, how about we show everyone here how 'soft' I've gotten, hmmm? Now kneel." Capricorn ordered, his hands glowing the deadly black. "Kneel now or else you're going to feel oh so much worse when I'm through with you." With that, Flatnose knelt in front of his leader, already shaking from fear.

"I'd advise you all to stand back unless you wish to intervene and get exactly what your comrade is going to receive."

Much shuffling went throughout the small church as the men got as far away as they could from the other man.

With everyone out of the way, Capricorn looked over to where Ann was sitting, tears were leaking through her closed eyes, and she was silently sobbing.

Black now dripping from his hands, Capricorn raised his hand, no whip, no knife, nothing but his bare hand and its black exterior. "Now Flatnose, time to see what you think is 'soft' about how I run things here.

The man flung down his hand to strike…

When his phone went off.

Capricorn stopped in mid-strike as his phone started ringing in his pocket. The man had gotten one ever since he found one off of a villager in a nearby town. He was intrigued by it, stole the villagers, and had been using it ever since and even ordered all of his other men to get one as to keep in tact of each other.

The phone continued to sing its little ring as Capricorn put his hand down, it finally back to its normal color, reached into his pocket, and pulled out the small device that was showing 'Black Jacket' on its caller I.D.

"Well, well." Capricorn said to himself. "Its looks like you've been spared for now my black jacket. But I suggest you get out of my presence this instant before I change my mind after the call."

With no further words, Flatnose left along with all of the other men. Leaving only Capricorn, the maids who were picking up the mess, and Ann inside of the bloody building.

Capricorn answered his phone, the speaker on.

"What is it?" He said, anticipation clear in his voice.

A few moments of static before a voice became clear on the other end of the line.

Basta.

"Boss, I…I didn't find Silvertounge. He's gone. We arrived at the fat old wench's house, and there was nothing there. When we arrived we thought that we had seen lights on in the house so we pulled up with the lights off to sneak up on them. Me and the others searched for hours looking for anything that may have shown where they went but…" Basta stopped and struggling was heard.

"My Lord, Silvertounge is here in the car! There driving to the base and they have Dirtyfingers along with Silvertounge's family they—

Basta was cut off as Dustfingers voice was heard in the background.

"Damn it Silvertounge, I told you, you had to continue to hold the knife to his throat otherwise it wasn't going to work now, now he knows."

Ann, acting as if fire had lit her face, jumped from the throne and ran down to where Capricorn was standing.

"Dustfinger!" She yelled.

Clearly the man heard her and yelled back. "Ann! Ann were coming to get you, were going to take you away from there and you'll never have to see that damned village again. I told you I was coming for you; I would never leave you with him."

"How touching Dustfinger." Capricorn said with venom in every word. "Though, don't you know its not good to raise ones hopes like that. I mean after all she wouldn't be here if you didn't leaver her in the first place. Now, that just seems uncaring to me."

"Capricorn, Capricorn please let me talk to him!" Ann jumped for the phone. But with the man being several times taller than her, merely held it up like a taunting child that had taken something and was making the other reach to gain it back. It was tearing Ann up inside.

"Please, all I want to do is talk to him! Capricorn!" The girl was struck in the face. Ann fell to the ground, holding her cheek gently while staring up at the man before her. He truly hated to see her like that. The way her eyes were slowly loosing the fire in them. The way she looked like a caged bird. But, it was the only way for her to stay his, and if that is what it would take to keep her, then so be it.

"Ann? Capricorn what did you do with Ann!?" Dustfinger yelled into the phone. He heard the smack in the phone and knew something was wrong.

"She is fine. She'll be even better knowing that you are coming. Come to me Dustfinger, come to me with everything and everyone I need. I'll be waiting."

"No wait—"

Capricorn hung up the phone and looked down at Ann, his stare both saddened and bizarre.

"And so the prey comes, though they know of their fate before them…" He said, then grabbed Ann and walked her to her room across from his.
