It was cold for a night at the beginnings of the summer.

He stood above the lively night of the sleepless city at one of these places which were normally only visited by humans who loved the extreme and even people like them wouldn't be as relaxed as him as he crouched on the rim of a rooftop and looked down to spot a new pray in order to reach his goal.

But those blood red eyes that cut through the shimmering night like the ones of a falcon spotted something different from a hero who carried this glorious title undeserved.

He crooked his head as he watched how the door of a kiosk was ripped open by a boy who almost fell out of it before running down the street towards the more lively part of the district like death himself was looming behind him.

In the same moment the boys feet hit the ground of the other side of the street the owner of the shop forced his body out of the doorframe and chased the kid.

So it was likely that he was a little thief who thought he could escape the owners web that ran through the whole store.

How naive.

But he continued to watch the display. His gut telling him that something terrible was about to happen.

The boy wasn't looking behind himself - so he wasn't completely dense.

The colour of the kids hair was easy to spot and so he traced the boy on his way and how he abandoned falling last second when he scampered around a corner.

He seemed to be fit and rather agile, not bad for a brat.

He took in the white bandages covering the thieves arms and looked at his own arms which were surrounded by the same material.

What was the kids reason?

In the next moment a blood curdling scream pitched through the air.

Instantly he concentrated on the chase again.

The legs of the runaway were coffined by cobweb but he didn't think that that was the reason for this screech.

This was a sound his victims made when he rammed his sword through their body.

The boy tried to stand up but collapsed again with a sickening scream and stayed on the ground as he shook from sobs.

He remembered that this kid was a thief.
What did he steal and how had he tried to carry it?

Red eyes fixated on the fallen greenette.
His pursuer finally found the kid and rolled him onto his back with one of his many legs.

And then the shopkeeper just went away and left the alleyway after freeing the thieves legs.

The boy started to laugh and the sound made even the adept killer shiver.
It wasn't creepy, no.
It was a lough like you only found it in in the depths of your worst and dreadest nightmares - it was horrific.

But the boy remained laying on the ground, moving as little as possible.

Something went wrong and he decided that he had to confirm what exactly it was.

In the same moment he decided his body moved and jumped from 'his' rooftop to the next one until he stood over the kid, then he climbed down the building the practiced movements only to finally land in an alleyway that was filled by grotesque giggles.

Slowly he crept through the shadows towards the boy.

A light breeze carried a certain smell in his direction, the scent of blood and mud mixed with the stinging stink of alcohol.
