Fae Coutris: Hidden Intentions, Iraticate Dances

I've been out of school for quite some time, so no need to worry about my posting times.

Fae Coutris: Hidden Intentions, Iraticate Dances

As she mused at the art around her, she listened to the gremlin, turning her head to him when he shouted. Any normal person would have jumped, or maybe cowered away. She, however, was not easily scared, especially by a creature such as this. She accepted the glass and sipped it's contents while he spoke again, this time a threat being made towards her, causing her to lower the glass. She narrowed her eyes at the gremlin, "Are you threatening me, Mr. Gremlin? Such hospitality you have." she said, a slight grin forming on her face. This creature was similar to her, or rather, she was similar to him. "If what you say is true, and you did indeed save me from death, then I will not deny that I owe you a debt. A...life-debt, if I am to be frank. And with such a debt, I believe my life belongs to you, to do with as you see fit. Or am I wrong?" she asked, setting the glass on the table beside her. She leaned back, crossing one leg over the other as she folded and placed her hands in her lap. This place certainly was...different, however, it was a good kind of different. "If I am to remain here, Mr. Gremlin, I would like to know where my room is located. I know this is no place humans can build, the beauty of it escapes the human mind, they cannot construct it. So I ask again, where am I?"

The woman's eyes search for the voice's source, eventually coming to focus on a...creature? She rubs her eyes, under the impression she was seeing things. However, the creature was still there, as very much real as she was. "It seems I am...your doing, I assume?" she questions, clearly not afraid of the creature. Her eyes look him over, perhaps another human being would be afraid, maybe intimidated by the being; she was not like everyone else. She slowly leaned forward, "So, what are you supposed to be? A goblin?" she asked, a slight bit of sarcasm in her voice. Before she let him answer, she asked another question, "And for that matter, where am I? This doesn't look like the city to me." she added. She noticed the paintings around the room, none familiar, but intriguing to her nonetheless.

A voice. This is what she heard, someone was talking to her, though she could barely make out the words. The tone though, she knew it too well, the voice was challenging her to live. Yes, she heard that word. Whoever, or whatever it was, challenged her to live. She tried to open her eyes again, only managing to crack one a bit, the figure before her appearing to be nothing more than a shadow. Live...yes...I must...live... she thought just before passing out. Her dreams were strange, she dreamed she was alive once more in this strange landscape, dancing among the frost and snow. It was as if the cold didn't affect her, as if she was part of the landscape herself. She felt at home, strangely enough. If it were anyone else, it might have been strange for them to feel that way, but not her. The best way for her to describe it was that she was meant to be here, as if it was meant to be her home. Her dream stopped when a shadow loomed over her, darkening everything around her. Was she scared? Not in the least. She was curious, who was this shadowed figure? Would she ever know? Before she could figure it out, her eyes slowly began to open. As they adjusted, she found she was no longer in that strange place. Well, she was, but not where she had been to begin with. She looked around, slowly sitting up as she scanned her surroundings. More of them. More of those twisted, yet oddly beautiful objects surrounded her, but they weren't like the ones she saw before. Her mind then suddenly recalled her wound, which she immediately touched, finding nothing there. No mark, no scar, nothing. It was as if it never existed in the first place. "How is that possible? I could have sworn I was dying..." she said out loud, clearly confused by the whole situation.

I think it's a good time to launch the IC, Fearless Leader.

She could hear them, they had to be a flight away now, if not a little less. She recalled four officers pursuing her, however it was likely they called for backup, just in case. She had ten minutes at least, she had to deal with them and get out of here before their backup arrived. Clearing her mind, she aimed one of her guns at the door, lifting it from the chest area, to the head. The instant the door opened, she fired, the bullet piercing through the skull of the officer stepping through. His body instantly fell, causing the three remaining cops to crouch, giving her time to change to a generator a little further back. Once there, she remained silent, listening to the footsteps of the men. She smirked, they were using standard procedure, spreading wide enough to cast a net, but not too far apart that they couldn't see one another. She knew they'd find her if she stayed hidden, and if she revealed her position, the others would bear down on her position. She knew she was screwed, being backed into a corner like this. If she were to die here, then so be it, but she was going to take at least two more with her. She peered around the side, spotting an officer headed her way. He turned his head away, giving her the chance to lean out and fire again, dropping him easily.

Just as she had expected, the other two started firing in her general direction, causing her to retreat into cover. She popped out every now and then to fire at them, forcing them into cover as well, thus initiating a rooftop shootout. She knew her fate was sealed now, with those two in cover, backup would arrive before long. She sighed, luck was not on her side today it seemed, her career was over. Having no fear of death, she rose out of cover with both guns aimed forward, firing as she ran at the officers. "Is she insane?! Don't kill her!" one said to his partner. It was too late, the bullet passed through the woman's chest, her steps now slowing to a stop and her guns dropping. She looked down at the wound, blood running down her body like a river, a smile forming on her lips. She looked at the men, who seemed to be disturbed by the smile, "I have sung my final song. Ironic...to be killed in such a place, on the day the world first learned my name...enjoy your victory while it lasts..." she said, falling to her knees. Holding her wound, she looked at the officers who approached her, "I swear...I will kill you...both of you...I will find a way...you haven't heard the last...of..." she trailed off, hitting the ground. The air around the city suddenly got colder, especially around her. In an instant, the officers had frozen in place, the woman's body vanished from sight as well. The woman, still barely alive, used her eyes to look around. This was a strange place, she was looking at a landscape that couldn't be physically possible, yet it was there. To her, it looked beautiful, the ice and snow twisted in such horrific yet beautiful ways. If this is what death looked like, then she was content with it, "Beautiful..." she managed to spit out, her eyes slowly closing. She wished she could live just a little longer to enjoy the beauty of this landscape, but such was not her destiny.
