Let me inform of you guys more on some things I changed in this story.
1) Alex's curly hair has been replaced to brown spiky hair. See my profile for a picture for his hair.
2) Ria's is in her late twenties but she look younger then her age due to BLACKLIGHT. Her clothing will be on my profile.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PROTOTYPE! ONLY RIA!
Guess that's it. ANYWAYS~! ON WITH THE SHOW!
"Don't forget the chili!" Dana called and waved goodbye as Ria and Alex started running off.
"Don't worry! I won't forget!" Ria called back and turned back to Alex. "So, how's the basics?"
Alex turned to her and stopped as the stood at the edge of the roof. He pointed at the building exactly opposite them. "Jumped from here to there." He spoke to her.
Ria swore that she would have done the spit take if Alex's face hadn't been so serious. Instead, she bore a look of disbelief. She pointed to herself and then to the building. Alex answered with a matter-of-fact nod.
"Seriously?" She spoke and Alex nodded. He's expression was unbelievable. "You've got to be joking!" She blurted.
"Nope. You're body structure, thanks to BLACKLIGHT, is able to let you do that." Alex explained but Ria's face was still uneasy. "Okay, how about I demo it for you?"
Ria nodded quickly. "Yeah. That would be best."
Alex nod once. "Watch me on how I use my body." He spoke and stride backwards a lil. He breathed in a lil and took of running. He readied his legs and jumped of the roof. He added a somersault as he fell down to the other building's roof.
"Show off." Ria scoffed and Alex smirked. Ria made her way backwards. She took a deep breath and readied her stance. Counting down to 3, she ran full blast towards the edge of the roof and jumped.
"AHHH!" She yelled and shut her eyes tight. She landed right into Alex's arms. The impact brought of them down to the ground with Ria on top of him. Alex felt the wind knocked out of him and his hood that was always up to cover most of his face has fallen down. Ria's head that has been buried into Alex's chest slowly rose up. She gingerly open her eyes and the both of them made eye contact.
Alex felt his insides contract and his palms started to get clammy. The voices inside him wolf-whistled and cheered at the situation he was in but he didn't cared. All he cared about was how close he was to Ria. She was on top of him, for God's Sakes! Their bodies were somehow glued together due to gravity and Alex could not stop looking deep into her eyes. Her beautiful emerald eyes. Her slightly open mouth, revealing her pink lips. His heart thumped hard on his ribcage and he was sure she could feel it too, since both of her hands are on the center of her chest.
Ria could not believe the position she was in either. Never before in her life did she got this close to a person of the opposite sex. She stared deeply into his blue eyes and she finally got to see the true face of her savior now that his hood is down. His pale skin now matches to her as they both have the same virus. His face was shaped perfectly and his spiky brown hair that covered most of his forehead were nothing but addition to his perfection. Her heart rammed uncontrollably and she saw him swallowed. What was this feeling in her did she felt for him? Was she... falling in love with him?
She jolted back to reality and quickly flinched back. "Ah, sorry." She said and quickly stood up. Alex sat up and rubbed the back of his neck. "It's okay. Accidents happen." He spoke and put his hood back up, covering his face again.
Ria turned to him. "Why do you cover your face with your hood?" She asked. "It's uncomfortable with them down." He answered gruffly and cleared his throat.
"Okay. Your jumping is not that bad. Though you have to control your strength. Next I'm going to teach you wall running." Alex spoke and pointed to the building wall towering beside them. "Watch me." He spoke and proceeded to run on the walls. He soon reach the top of the roof and yelled down "Now your turn!".
Ria took in a deep breath and clinged herself to the wall and ran straight up, not daring to look down. As soon as she reached the top of the roof, she grinned happily at Alex. "Easy Peasey." She chided and Alex smirked. She's taking it in easily. That's a good sign.
"I'm still a lil hungry though…" Ria spoke and hugged her tummy. "What do you eat?" She asks and Alex stiffened. This will be a lil tricky.
"I don't eat. I consume." He answered sharply.
Ria rolled her eyes. "That's another word for eat, dummy."
Alex ignored her remark. "I consume people. And once you've consumed people, you've taken their life force. But you'll also have taken their memories, their thoughts and their life. That's the only way you can heal your injuries."
"So, you've killed people before?" Ria asked softly.
Alex turned her back to her. "Yes." He answered darkly. Ria sighed. She would have to live with this fact throughout the remaining of her life. She shook her head, clearing her thoughts and pumped up her body.
"I don't mind that you kill people. As long as you killed bad people, then there's nothing wrong in that." She answered to him and Alex faced her. He'd consumed innocent people too. Some that were only minding their own business and to replenish his own energy, he consumed them without a second thought. All their memories are in him now.
"Come on. You'll need to consume someone." He spoke and took of running from rooftop to rooftop. Ria followed easily now after learning the basics. As they jumped, Ria did some somersaults and complicated jumps, feeling the ease of her new powers. But something more weird has added into her world. She's much more flexible now. Sure she could do a split due to her karate lessons but now, her limb held no boundaries.
"Hey Alex! I'm much more flexible now!" She shouted in glee as they jumped. Alex rolled his eyes at her ecstasy. "Where are we going?" She shouted as she followed behind him.
"We're going to your district. Where there are infected. You can consume them there. Or you can consume those freaks BLACKWATCH. And for desert, maybe some mad scientists at GENTEK." He answered coldly.
"BLACKWATCH? GENTEK?" Ria spoke and cocked her head to one side.
"Oh right. You don't know that yet. I'll explain the real truth to you once you've done consuming." Alex spoke and stopped at the top of the building. He faced towards the district in front of him. "We're here." He said.
"Hey. This is my District." Ria spoke and looked around the familiar neighborhood. She turned to Alex. "Since we're here, how about I show you my house?" She asked and smiled.
Alex shrugged. "Sure. Why not? But after you consume." He spoke and Ria nodded. "Follow me then." He spoke and jumped down to ground. Ria followed in suit and the both of them created a crater onto the ground as they landed. Infected civie were walking around and at the sight of Alex and Ria, they started to charge at them.
Alex grabbed hold of the head of one of them and grabbed Ria's hand. "Consume him." He spoke and black tendrils appeared from Ria's hand, as though they knew what was beginning. The tendrils wrapped around the civie and slowly, it was absorbed and warped into Ria.
Ria's knees buckled as the impact of the absorbed civie rendered into her. It's past memories before being infected flashed thru Ria's mind and she gasped at it. As she recovered, she realized her tummy is somehow full and whatever wound was still intact on her somehow healed.
She faced Alex. "That was exhilarating yet terrifying." She spoke to him.
"Do you want seconds?" He asked and grabbed hold of one of the infected. It flailed its arms in desperation to escape and Ria looked at it and smiled meekly. "No thanks. I'm sure I'm okay now."
Alex shrugged and threw the civie to the building wall. It's head exploded in a bloody mess after contact with the wall and limp body stopped moving.
"Where's your house?" Alex asked and Ria stood up. She took a glance at the buildings and located her house. She pointed in the building a few blocks away. "Over there." She spoke and her attention was diverted to an Infected.
Clutching her fist tightly, she punched that Infected in the head as hard as she could and the Infected head bled upon impact and fell on the ground, dead.
She noticed the remaining Infected lurking on her District. "But…" She grinned devilishly at Alex who raised his eyebrow at her tone. "Let's kill some infected first."
