Retailate: The beggining

Recommended Posts

~*A dark night, snowing slightly several inches on the ground*~

Siren walked into the bar in Highlander territory, looking sleek and deadly all silk, blood and steel... She walked up to the bar and took a seat... She ordered a sake, her face expressing an outer calm that she didn't feel... Her mind raced as she scaned the bar for her contact... No luck... A man tapped her on the shoulder and she turned cautiously...

Man: Your man is dead... Follow me... There are things you'll want to know...

Silently Siren stood and followed the strange man out... She carefully checked her hidden weapons and loosened her swords... The man led her through several back passages untill they came to a corpse dusted in snow but still bleeding onto the pristine white... Siren looked down, careful to be completely calm

Siren: So... Why did you kill him?

A shape appeared from the shadows...

???: Lets just say he was snooping around where he shoulden't have been... Now... If you don't mind...

The figure nodded and there was a gunshot then a sharp pain penetrated her side... Siren slaped a hand over the wound... Her vision began to blur and she sank to one knee...


Siren: Who...

She coughed then fell to the ground and blacked out...

???: My name is Jerek I work for the Crin as a bounty hunter... And you, my dear Siren Kojia... Are dead...

The man and his croonies turned and dissapeared into the swirling snow


~*Two days later*~

Siren moaned and pushed herself up on her elbow, a sharp pain shooting through her side at the movement... Her fists clenched as she fought to stay awake...
She glanced around and found herself in a cheep motel... The door opened and a man steped in

Man: Good to see you awake...

Siren: Who.....who are you?

Seth: Seth, Seth Melcros.

Siren: But why????...

Seth: I've been chasing that one for awhile now. He's an assasin. I don't know why you were a target, but it makes no difference.

(Siren tries to sit up but winces with pain)

Seth: I've already cleaned and dressed your wound. You'll be fine as long as you take it easy.

(Siren looks under the blanket and realizes that she's naked and blushes)

Seth: (smiling) Sorry, but I had to. If it makes you feel better, I'll give you a show; just to make it even.

Siren: (the blush gone) Maybe some other time soldier.

Seth: Don't call me that!......I'm apologize. I'm a bounty hunter now; my days of being a soldier are long over. It's a long story.

Siren: I see.

Seth: So why don't you tell me what's going on.

Celest wanders down street and eneters the regular bar and orders a merlot to refresh her thrist. She sits there and stares off into space, but catches her self. If she does that to long it triggers a dark side in her. She finishes off her drink and walks around.

Celest: where siren and the others?......

Celset shrugs off her worries and continues down the street. She hears a random fight start in the end of a dark alley, but continues on. She hums a little jazz lick, and a dog walks up to her. She smiles and bends down to pet it. Then she hears a shot. She starts to stare off, and can't control herself. Her eyes narrow and seam like they glow red. She feels watched and she holds her positoin.

Siren falls silent as she considers what to tell him... She finally sighs and begins...

Siren: Well... We intercepted some information that we figured the government would want... Turns out we were right? They offered to pay us a whole lot more for inside info? So we took the chance and went in? I left to go back my ship and returned to find my man shot? Then they shot me? I figure we won?t be returning to the job? Although I do intend to get paid?

She shifted and scanned the room noting the positions of her weapons and clothing? She mentally scanned herself and found that she was in no condition to fight? She grimaced slightly...

[color=darkpink][size=2]Celest turned around very slowly...to look in the eyes of an familar person...

Celest sighed, "Oh, it's just you, Tini. You gave me quite a scare."

"Well, at least you know how I feel when I see you. You know, you should be happy that I wasn't after you." replied Valentyne, as she and Celest began to walk down the street. "Hey, have you seen Siren? I'm beginning to get worried, I haven't seen her in a while."

"Don't ask me, Tini. I haven't seen her either." Celest smirked as Valentyne frowned in aggrevation.

"Didn't I ask you not to call me that?"

"Yeah, but I just love to see the look on your face!" Suddenly they stopped.

"Well, how about we get something to eat?" Valentyne spoke, standing in front of an restaurant.

"Finally, something equally intelligent to my thoughts. Let's eat!"[/color][/size]

Celest and Valentyne walk in to the resturant, and celest notices that the dog she was petting was following her. She just shrugged it off. The two sit down at a booth.

Waiter: Watcha' havin'?

Celest: Chili dog and fries, with a pepsi, and a milkshake. Order what ever you want Tini. I'm paying.

Valentyne stared at her.

Celest: oh, sorry Valentyne.

The dog came and sat right next to Celest.

Waiter: no animals aloud.

Celest: it's not mine mr. he just followed me in here.

Waiter: then take him out.

Celest: ok, Valentyne, order and i'll be right back.

Celest took the little black puppy and put him out side.

Celest: stay here little one, so you don't get hurt.

[color=blue][size=1]Raellyra shivered and looked around...She hated the cold. Yawning, she moved toward the diner. Finding Siren could take a while; she was probably just delayed. Outside she could see a familiar figure crouching down, talking to a dog. With a smile, Raellyra ran over to her. "Celest!"

Celest looked up. "Raellyra...how are you?"

"Fine, just fine. I was gonig to find some food and warmth..." Raellyra tilted her ehad toward the diner.

Celest nodded. "So am I. Valentyne is inside."

"Tini?"

"Yeah," she replied, lips twitching a bit.

"Okay..." Rae smiled and made her way inside.[/color][/size]

Back in the motel........


Seth: I can tell that you're anxious to leave, you obviously have somewhere that you have to be. So here are your options: you can get dressed and let me help you or I can go to your meeting spot and have your associates come here........ (smirking) Unfortunately, either way you have to get dressed.

Siren: Give me a moment to get my stuff on, and we'll go back to the diner. But tell me, why be bothered with me knowing that you don't have to?

Seth: I am Gatain, afterall, honor is what we're known for. Plus, I have the feeling that I might be able to get some good bounties out of this. (Siren looks at him discerningly)

Seth: Hell, I gotta eat.

[color=red]Moments later, Siren is dressed and Seth carefully helps her to his vehicle.[/color]

Valentyne saw Raellyra and Celest walk towards her, engaging themselves in conversation.

[I]Just when I thought it was safe to leave the bay..."[/I] she thought as the two girls sat beside her.

"Well if it isn't little Rae-Rae. Come back to torture me, huh?" she spoke, looking out of the corner of her eyes.

Raellyra smiled and patted Valentyne on the back, "Yup! I missed you a lot too!"

Celest laughed as Valentyne spoke more insults to the cheerful Raellyra.

"Someone's finally immune to your spiteful words, Tini. You should be happy. Now you have to argue with me...and Siren."

"Hmph! Siren's no challege to her, Celest. She would argue with her all night and still lose."

"Let's just get off the subject about me?" Valentyne shouted, shutting up the two laughing women. "And speaking of Siren, you think we should try to find her?"

Celest rubbbed her chin in thought, "I don't know. Siren's bound to pop up here any minute...unless she already ate, which I doubt. So let's stay here and eat, how about that?"

"That's fine with me, I don't feel like cooking..." Valentyne replied.

"And I don't feel like tasting that sewage you call food." said Celest, making a gagging sound.

"Oh shut up! You're the main one eating it!" they both began to bicker, ignoring the waiter carring their food. Raellyra took the food and put it in front of them. They both looked at the food then at eachother and ate.


~~~~~45 Minutes later~~~~~~~

"Boy am I stuffed!" Celest said, rubbing her belly.

"I'm sleepy. I wanna go home now." Valentyne replied, yawning and wiping her eyes.

"Yeah, you're much nicer sleepy. Let's go get some shut eye." they all walked out of the restaurant and down the street. Suddenly a car pulls up...

"Hey you want a lift?" The girls looked at the passenger.

"Siren?"

Celest smiles at siren. As the dog she had left outside the diner walks up to her again.

Celest: hey siren, whatcha been up to?

She spies someone else in the car, snd her smile fades a little.....The dogs hair stands up a little. Rae and Valentyne give questioning looks to each other.

Siren: a friend for now.

Celest nods and opens the door to the car. The dog jumps in.

Celest: stupid dog, oh well, hope you don't mind.(she looks at the others) You going in or not?

Rae and valentyne step into the car and she is the last to get in.

Rae sat and fidgeted. She hated waiting.When they finally got to the room, she sighed happily. "Shelter..."

"Couldn't stand the cold, eh Rae-Rae?"

"Nope," Rae smiled. "It is, to put it simply, cold. I don't like the cold anymore than the next person, Tini."

"I like the cold."

Celest intervened. "But you aren't normal, Tin...Valentyne."

Raellyra smiled and walked over to Siren. "So what's happening?"

Siren glanced sidelong at Celest...

Siren: I think it likes you... Well as long as it dosen't get in the way, I'm not complaining... It's kinda cute... Well anyways... As you know I was undercover for the goverment... Not quite the dream job, but it'll pay for repairs on the ship... Matt is dead... They shot him... I also found that, like we thought... He's working for the Crin... He'll be a nuicence for the goverment and millitary to sort out...

She sat on the corner of the bed, her side hurting a bit... She reached into her pack and pulled out plans...

Siren: As for the jewel... It's here... In the heart of the Crin base on this planet...

She pointed to the maps...

Siren: It'd take effort to get in... And sheer dumb luck to get out... What do you say?

Celest sits and thinks.

Celest: how about we just walk around, like in disguise, and listen for things. Befriend our enemies kind of thing? Or untill we find something remotle close to what were looking for. Find a weakspot and attack from there.

Seth: I think that this bounty hunter ought to play assasin for awhile.

Rae: Not a bad idea.

Seth: This way I can find out more info on the price on Siren's head.

Celest: Price on her head?

Siren: Yeah, Jerek, a Crin assasin, tried to kill me. And to thank him, I'll make sure that he has a slow painful death.

Seth: I'll bring him to you on a silver platter. That's a promise.

Rae: On the South side of this town, this is a bar that is frequented by assasins all the time. you might want to check it out; it could be a good place to start.

Seth: Well, the room's already paid for. Leave when you feel like it. And Siren take care of yourself, you're in no shape to fight yet.

Siren: (with a faint smile) I will. Be careful.

Seth: Oh, one last thing! When and where can we all meet up?
