The woman jerked her head up, her mixmatched eyes widening. Something was out in the woods, close to her grandparent�s gravesite. It was strong and its dark aura meant that it was clearly a devil.
She put the book gingerly back in the trunk, quickly doing the chains around it and locking them. Her hand reached for the Magdalene Order-Issued silver handgun she kept strapped to her right thigh, pulling the pistol out of its holster.
She locked up and secured the perimeter of the house, throwing down a set of crucifix barriers before heading up the path, her senses swarming her.
As she reached the bend, she slowed to a near walk, treading silently across the rocky path. Another one of her unusual habits was the ability to move without a sound, even when she didn�t want to. There was someone at the grave; she could see a shadow in the field where a figure was blocking out the light. Rushing into the open she pointed her gun straight at her target. �Freeze!� She demanded sharply, eyes set on the enemy's back.
The form turned away from the tombstone and for a moment the woman felt a jolt fly through her. He was about her age it seemed, with a curtain of waist-length raven hair that swished behind him as he moved. Ruby red eyes caught the sunlight with their crimson radiance and he seemed just about as stunned as she was. She couldn�t place it, but she got the feeling she had seen him somewhere before.
The man stared at her, studying her for a second. He had never met this woman in his entire life and for a second he felt as though he had known her for years. The long brilliant crimson hair, the pale ivory skin�her eyes were two different colors and he thought amusingly that they reminded him of a husky�s wild eyes. One was a pale cerulean blue, while the other was a bright amber gold. She herself seemed animalistic, and her energy pattern was different from most humans. There was definitely something different about her.
A word forced its way into his throat and before he could stop himself he found himself whispering a name. ��Sora?�
