[color=C67C12][i][b]"Drop the fucking Ginger!"[/b][/i][/color]

[i]WHAM.[/i]

She couldn't breathe. One moment, she had tunnel vision, ready to attack the girls again. The next? On the ground, the wind knocked out of her. Leon was nearly transformed, his familiar features silhouetting the street lights and night sky. He was yelling. Her ears were ringing.

Had Leon just... betrayed her? Walked into [i]her[/i] fight and then turned on her. 

Frustrated tears penetrated her waterline as she glared up, her eyes full of venom, and hurt.

[b]"Qu'as-tu fait, Loup?"[/b] [i](What have you done, Wolf?)[/i]

A nickname from eons ago, reserved only for serious conversation. Leon was one of the few who understood. Surely, he knew she [i]had[/i] to do this. The redhead was the chosen victim. She had already switched targets once. Any more fiddling, and Void might strike out. Might make [i]her[/i] the victim.

She hissed, her free phantom hand snapping up Leon's leg, pulling harshly. The move was fast and quick, squeezing hard enough that he would ideally flinch, or at least get distracted. If she was successful, she'd pull him up into the air, and away from interfering further.

She wheezed, pushing herself off the pavement. Her white silk shirt had dirt marks on it, and started looking a bit worse for wear. She was missing a shoe, as she had to kick off the web one of the girls had managed to touch her with. And to make matters worse, two more girls joined the... the group. Obviously, a group of girls. Alizée didn't know what to make of this, but in her heart burned a fury. She'd take them all on. It was [i]their[/i] fault, not hers. They got in her way. And they would regret it.

Void's phantom hands pulled away before the webs could reach them, halting his blanket of protection.

That was when the air became chillingly cold. Alizée watched a Korean girl approach.

[b][i]"We do not wish to fight! Please release our friend and we will leave! There are more of us on the way, and the Wolfpack is likely on the way as well; there is no way for you to win! We will do anything for our friends. If you do not stop... we will be forced to kill you! And trust me, everyone here has taken a life before, and we will show you no quarter!" [/i][/b]

Alizée was caught up in the speech, but Void was paying attention. As the girl with the wind powers swooped for the redhead, Voi'd phantom hands snapped up, fingers outstretched to clasp the girl like a shark's jaws on a lone swimmer. Quick, and all-encompassing. If she tried to dodge, the hands would follow a little, trying to keep her away from the redhead. Alizée's attention snapped over to the redhead, and pulled the hand back, positioning her behind Alizée, close to Leon.

[b]"Make a wrong move, and I'll snap her spine,"[/b] Alizée said flatly, giving the redhead another squeeze. She would likely be feeling cold, numbness in her bones, a lack of energy at this point.

[i]"Take her; I want my hands free."[/i] She thought, glancing sideways at Void. Without objection, the redhead was transferred from Alizée's hand to Void's. Leon, if he was held, was dropped. Alizée tried to stop the shivering as the air grew increasingly cold. She could see her breath. Feeling her temper flare, her phantom hands were at her sides, racing forward, claw-like fingers ready to trap the Korean girl. Alizée smirked, despite her lips turning a shade of blue, the phantom hands growing in size, inching closer.

Before the Void opened up behind the girls.

Denizens of the horrific darkness splurged forth, sensing Alizée's desire to go all out. A giant, the size of the strip club, was a shadow looming over Alizée, angry red eyes staring at her, begging for her to move so it could drive its claws into her throat.

Alizée froze up.

Her pale hands pressed against her mouth, her breath held. The giant dipped its head down, showing off its sharp teeth. Taunting her. 

Her phantom hands dissipated into thin air, followed closely by the dispersion of her aura and Void eyes. She had pushed it way too far. She had attracted way too much attention. 

[i][b]"Uh... I'm lost."[/b][/i]

Alizée's head whipped around, seeing a small form enter the scene. A... a child.

Was a child about to witness violence..?

Alizée swallowed anxiously, her heartbeat racing. She wasn't in a position to raise a fist. Not now. The kid had good timing...

Keeping her eyes on the Korean girl and the rest of the group, Alizée spoke, her voice carrying. [b]"Void... drop her."[/b]

Void's jagged smirk widened, and his own grip on the redhead tightened. [color=#A299FD][b]"Make me."[/b][/color]

Alizée sucked in a sharp breath. [b]"The hell did you say?"[/b]

[color=#A299FD][b]"You're really terrible at this, you know. Just one victim is all I ask."[/b][/color]

[b]"I'll get you someone, you think I'm not hungry too?!"[/b]

[color=#A299FD][b]"Heh... maybe I'll just feast on you this round."[/b][/color]

Alizée hissed, spinning to glare at Void head on. [b]"We are not discussing this in front of a damn crowd!"[/b]

He moved lazily through the air, a dark grin lighting up his features. [color=#A299FD][b]"Scared?"[/b][/color]

[b]"I said we're not discussing this!"[/b]

[color=#A299FD][b]"Not telling me to shut up? Being so polite all of a sudden?"[/b][/color]

Alizée's head twisted sharply, teetering between fear and flaring anger. [b]"...Listen. Why are we here?"[/b]

[color=#A299FD][b]"Don't change the su-"[/b][/color]

[b]"The damn Wolfpack! That's why we're here. There's more going on than just our damn nightly strolls, okay?!"[/b] Her voice reached a shrill note, practically yelling at Void at this point.

Void stared at her for a long, long moment. His Void eyes narrowed, before, reluctantly, the redhead was dropped.

[i]Finally. [/i]

[color=#A299FD][b]"You owe me."[/b][/color]

[b]"I know."[/b]

With all four Void Hands dissipated, the presence of the Void denizens reduced. Alizée watched the Korean girl and the rest of the group, seeing if they would try anything now that they had what they wanted. She pressed her hand frustratedly across her face, realizing something. [i]Leon was right.[/i]

That's when she remembered there was a child watching them. She turned curiously, staring down at the small, dark-haired child. Her head tilted, noticing the blood on his hand. Had he hurt himself?

Her expression softened, and she stepped forward, stooping down to be eye level with the child. [b]"Hey, are you okay? You look hurt. Let me see your hand."[/b]

She pulled out a small handkerchief and hand sanitizer from her purse, putting a bit on the white cloth before reaching for the child's hand, cleaning off the blood. Huh, that was strange. There was no break in the skin. What happened to this child?

She looked at him curiously. [b]"Where are your parents, kiddo? This uh... isn't necessarily the nicest part of town."[/b]

Void was staring, completely mesmerized by the small child. He had entirely forgotten about the girls they had been fighting, as if his entire world now only consisted of the boy. Void started doing slow circles around him, basking in some sort of aura.

[color=#A299FD][b]"I like this one."[/b][/color]
