The Day We Come Out The Shadows (Open/Social)

Allen disliked going into public, with Stein keeping an eye out for him, there was no telling who could be after him. "Maybe I'm over thinking this. It's not like he could be in this town, he's always cooped up in that lab of his. Yeah, I'm just over thinki-" Just then a dog barked in the ally way he was in, that is when a little girl pointed into the dimly lit darkness tugging on her mother, who appeared to be telling her to look over where he is at. "Eek!" He sprinted and foot springed from wall the wall on the right, to the left over and over again until he reached the rooftop. Avoiding the girl. "Nope, not over thinking it." He sighed as he felt himself leaning off the edge of the roof, idiot! He tumbled down hitting the wall once before crashing into the dumpster. It made a loud !Bang! noise. A couple of people peeked in the ally to see what was there, but others were starting to walk closer, that is when Allen started to growl in a low voice and glared at the strangers with death in his eyes, he was afraid and uneasy. "GO AWAY!" The strangers took off running and Allen found himself staring at the sky, in a dumpster, uneasy and afraid.

Alyia was walking down the street when she had heard the squeal from a male ring in her ears. She moved through the people on the street a little uneasy. Not due to the scream but more towards the amount of people that were around her. She made her way to the sound and found a dog walking out an alleyway. The blonde looked around for the person who had made the noise. There was no one in sight. Alyia was turning away form the alley way when she suddenly heard a banging noise and several crashing noises. What the heck was going on today. She turned back around only to find several people walking towards a garbage bin. She watched as they approached the bin only to run away or walk away with extreme pace. Her curiosity sparking, Alyia went to approach the garbage bin. Standing on her tip toes she looked inside finding to her surprise a boy. He had red messy hair and gold eyes. He was taller than her, then again everyone was, and looked like her was still in his teens. A smirk growing on her face Alyia spoke to the person who was sitting in the garbage bin. "Having fun there?"

Allen had been staring at the blue sky, his gold optics focused on a cloud that looked like flower. It was pretty, it had lots of petals and everything. But just when he found peace it was ruptured by the voice of a girl, he jolted up in shock, "Whoa!" He stood there frozen, his optics focused on the girl. She was short, and had pretty eyes. Allen found himself examining her before he realized what he was doing. He shook his head slightly and glared, huffing a bit, "Go away!" He attempted to cling to a extension of a rusty steel pipe that was against the wall. He grasped it and pulled himself up, putting his foot on a wet pipe, but soon losing his footing and slipping back into the dumpster with a !Bang!. His head then peaked out at the girl, "What do you want from me? If money is what you want, go elsewhere, I'm broke!" He continued to glare at her, a couple of people from the groups of guys that were trying to look at him were peeking out from the corners, laughing and whispering. This ticked Allen off, "Tsk! A dead body can't laugh, now can it!?" Allen yelled over, somewhat calmly, but the guys on the other hand ran away. "A-and you! Get lost! Please?" The 'Please' at the end. He wasn't the delinquent type, so he tried to seem intimidating but he was a kind person, so the please just came out.

Alyia could only watch in humor as the boy fell over himself trying to get out of the garbage bin. She watched as he fell back in and looked up at her. She listened to him as he spoke to her about money. She didn't want money or anything else from the person below her. She laughed her fun making laugh as she watched the people run away after the red heads threat. She turned back to him hearing him talk about her leaving. Like hell she was it was going to be fun watching him interact with other people. She was going to speak to him when suddenly a girl fell from the sky right on top of the red head. Blinking once then twice she recognized the girl that had just fall from above. It was Allison. What was she doing her? Taking a breath she looked down at the people in the garbage bin. "Has this now turned into a party?"

The girl that confronted him didn't seem like a threat, in fact, she was kind of cute. But Allen had no problem whatsoever to say that aloud, "You look pretty cute actually, and you don't seem to be hiding and weapons in those clothes of yours. . .what's your nam-!" Allen was caught off by a girl with red hair, like his, falling onto him and pinning him to the trash can, "Who are you people! Showing up out of no where! I never learned about the periodic table but you guys sure know the element of surprise all too well!" He frowned, shifting from side to side, getting in a more suitable position. But the again, he was pinned, to a dumpster. He pushed himself up slightly to get in the girl's face, a calm look in his eyes, "Are you enjoying this? If not, you better. . ." He bobbed his head to the left, feeling awkward while gesturing to get off if pleased. It didn't really bother him, at this point more people would show up.

Alyia rolled her eyes at the red haired boy’s comment on her beauty. She didn’t mean to be self centered, it was just that she had heard that from several other people. She no longer cared if people commented on her beauty. Alyia shifted her attention to Allison who was trying to get out of the dumpster. Only to find her falling in her direction. Despite having cat like reflexes, Alyia was caught underneath the red headed girl. Falling backwards Alyia braced herself to hit the ground. Was everyone having balance issues today? As Allison got off of her she stood up and brushed the dirt off of her. She looked up after she had felt like all of the dust was gone and saw that Allison was getting awfully close the person in the dumpster. She seemed to be interrogating him. With a sigh she made a step towards the red haired pair. She was going to save the boy from Allison. But, Alyia stopped her pursuit when Allison fell backwards onto the ground. Knowing Allison it wouldn’t stop her from questioning the other redhead and she was right. But Alyia paused her thought process when she heard Allison ask if the boy was going to marry Alyia. A mix of emotions surged through the blonde. She wasn’t going to say anything as she knew that she was already in a relationship that she and Deniel had promised to keep a secret no matter what. Walking over to Allison with a small frown on her face she placed a hand on the younger girls shoulder. “Allison, I think that is enough. No need to scare the boy away after you just met him.”

Allen lowered his head, keeping eye contact but positioning himself more or less. He braced himself for the question barrage, I guess you can consider me a mage. And a guild? No! No way am I joining a guild until I know I'm safe from that lab! Gives me the chills just thinking about it. . ." He said shuddering a little bit, sweat rolling down his face at the thought. Allen then slightly blushed before looking at the girl contently, the one with blonde hair. Because of Al's Soul Gazing ability, he unintentionally looks into people's souls sometimes. This time, the blonde. "You are secretive, aren't you? Blondey?" He said it so calmly it was almost weird, before looking at the girl known as Allison, "Allen." He sheepishly said while poking his head out, sniffing her hair and neck. That is when the most unique scent came upon him, the smell of a dragon. He licked his lips and he leaned closer to lick her neck, to clarify, "No way! Say, can I drink your blood?" He said eagerly.

Alyia froze at the comment of her being secretive. How did he know? Then due to his comment Allison came and questioned the exact statement. There was only one major secret that she was keeping at the moment. Only one, but it was a big one. Despite her heart rate increasing she held a blank face. "Nothing, I just have something in my back pocket in case of emergency," the blonde said covering the whole secret thing. Alyia was trying to stay Clam when a name echoed through her head. Allen. She was sure that the boy had said it. She turned her gaze to the male and looked at him. He did indeed have the facial expression of someone who had said something. So his name was Allen. A smirk grew on her face as the knowledge of his name and only grew bigger as the two had an interaction. It was quite funny. Allen sniffing Allison's neck and asking for blood and the female willingly offering it to him. It just made her laugh, but then again Allison would do anything to make sure someone was okay. Alyia reached up to her own shoulder where Oya usually sat. She was not there today. She was back at the guild with Deniel. In his hell hole of a room. Letting out a small sigh Alyia let her hand fall to her side. Looking at the two in front of her she rolled her eyes and started to walk away only to fall on some glass that was scattered in the alleyway. Today was just a day where everyone fell.

Allen noticed the girl that went by Alyia pad away, as clingy as he was, he decided to drink Allison up and then follow her. He then looked back at Allison, his eyes focused on her neck. He pressed down on her neck with his fingers, finding the place where the pulse was. Where it contained the hottest blood. Though it he did seem like a vampire, he could consume her anywhere on her body but wherever the pulse is, is where the hottest blood is. And knowing she was a dragon slayer, it would be great! Maybe bad? Who knows. He could tell she was a dragon slayer just by smelling her, that is when Allen sunk his teeth into her neck, sipping it slowly, "This is. . .great! Tastes better then I thought! The blood of a dragon slayer is sweet! Sweeter then just any human blood! I need more!" He forcefully sunk his teeth into her again, this time taking cup-fulls of blood. At this point she could pass out, or get light headed. If this continued she could die of blood loss. Not that it mattered to Allen, she insisted so whatever happens to her, happens. His craving had been triggered, and he needed to be subdued or else...

Alyia turned around at Allison’s words. What was going on? Seeing Allen at Allison’s neck drinking her blood she wondered what was wrong. That was until the scent of blood surrounded her. It was much too strong for something that was only bleeding a little. This was the smell of blood that was being spilled cups at a time. There was only one place that the blood could be coming from was Allison. Her eyes widening she raced back over to the red heads. She saw that Allen’s teeth were now sunk deep into Allison’s neck and that he was gulping down blood. Alyia suck in a small breath and realization hit her. If she didn’t stop Allen now he would probably kill Allison. Collecting up her courage she moved into action. Grabbing Allen’s waist she pulled with all her strength, which was enough to move him. Seeing her hair in front of her she knew that the two were falling backwards. With her arms still around Allen’s waist she landed on the ground harshly with her back hitting the concrete. She closed her eyes as soon as she knew that she was falling to brace herself from the impact of the ground. Her landing on the ground was harshed than she had anticipated causing for her head to fly back and hit the ground under her. Feeling a sharp pain on the back of her collarbone she unlatched her arm from Allen’s midsection and reached back to feel what was hurt. Feeling nothing she brought her hand back and saw that the tips of her fingers were covered in blood. Seeing her own blood and her eyes widen. It was slightly glowing. It must’ve been her magic wearing off on her body.

Allison was naive. But it would be only her fault if she died. Not that Allen likes to kill people this way, nor does he enjoy it but it sure hits the spot. "This is delicious... Should I stop? Well..she insisted, didn't she? So that must mean.." Allen's thoughts were cut off by the grabbing of his waist, then being pulled towards the ground with Alyia tugging at him. He obviously didn't want to hurt her so once they slammed to the ground he immediately intended to help her get up but just stared at her, wiping the blood of Allison from his mouth, "Still not full yet. What was that for, huh?" He almost death glared at Alyia, then turning back towards Allison, his teeth grinding against one another, her blood matching the color of his red hair.

"Ugh.. I'm pretty sure that mutt is going to kill me one of these days.." He mumbled to himself as he walked through Magnolia Town. He wore a black sleeveless shirt and black pants while his katana, the Kukan hung from the sash he wore around his waist. He had just finished some training with his demonic trainer and hoped that that same trainer wasn't listening in on him somehow like he usually did. He wasn't in the mood for the demon dog to be scolding him telepathically or anyone for that matter.

"And time for a really boring time on my way back to the guild. I sear I have to-" His words to himself were cut off as a man and some others came running around a corner. The man bumped into the demon slayer as he ran by him. "Hey idiots! Watch where you are going!" He yelled out to the group. "What the hell are they running away from anyways.."

The part demon sixteen year old made his way around the corner and found the ally where it looked like the people had run from. He came to that conclusion from seeing a man with blood covering his mouth with two girls. One of the girls was holding him while the other was on the ground near them with some blood on the back of her head while the other was moving in for a hug with blood on her neck.

"So are you guys having a blood party over here? Didn't your parents teach you to keep stuff like that behind closed doors." He walked closer to them with his arms at his sides and ready to react if needed. "I'm kind of confused. I thought most people ran from a guy who dug their teeth into them." He was confused at the situation but that didn't stop him from getting closer. He stopped moving around ten feet away from them and planned on saving the girls if needed.

Alyia looked back at Allen as he spoke. Still not full? What was she doing? A growl sounded in the back of her throat was he planning on killing Allison. If he was, like hell she would let him. She was about to say something to Allison as she came closer to her and Allen, when another voice was added to the group. Looking up from their predicament she saw a blue haired person. Well shit. Rewrapping her arms around Allen’s waist gripping his shirt with her bloodied hand Alyia pulled Allen against her to keep him from going after anyone else for blood. She could feel the blue haired person moving behind her and Allen, what did he plan on doing? Confining Allen once again in her arms Alyia had brought Allen’s head subconsciously to her right shoulder, the one that by chance had blood in a small stream seeping from a gash on the back of her collarbone. She gave Allison a look that told her to back away from both her and the red headed boy. Tilting her head back over her right shoulder Alyia looked back at the blue haired person standing behind her. She didn’t want anyone else being hurt so she gave him the same look that she had given Allison. Back away.

Enma sprinted across the rooftops of Magnolia town, following a small white/brownish cat. "W-Wait up! Where are you going!" Enma exclaimed, extending his arm trying to reach out to the cat. "W-Whaaa!" Enma quickly stopped, as he almost fell of a building..! "Where's that cat?" He looked around, and noticed that the cat had safely jumped across. "Alright, if a cat can do it, then so can I!" He exclaimed, taking a few steps back before sprinting to the edge of the building and eventually jumping over safely. "Here I come!" Enma exclaimed, running after the cat again.

"Ahw man.... Another ally?" He sighed, looking down and to his surprise seeing a bunch of people... Some of them were bleeding as well. "Oh, that blue haired guy already came! Good, then I ca- hey wait up!" Enma yelled, trying to jump across yet again, but to his stupidity, had failed to notice the gap was bigger this time. And thus, he fell into the very same dumpster Allen fell in earlier. "H-Hey... This dumpster stinks! Mind helping me get out?" He asked, removing a green garbage bag that had covered his entire head... "So! Why is she bleeding?" He asked, looking into Alyia's eyes with his onyx orbs.

After observing the scenario a bit, he came to a conclusion.. "Wait! Did the blue haired guy beat you up, and then the redhead tried to save you, or what?"

More and more people gathered around. To his surprise another boy crashed down into the dumpster. Only catching a glimpse though. Not to mention the dumpster had been crashed on several times, it had a dent in it by now. Light headed and becoming more nervous, Allen glared at the people surrounding him. He had been the center of attention and it had been nipping at Allen's comfort zone, not that he was comfortable to begin with. He looked down at Alyia, frightened, "I.. Have to go!" He wiped the blood with his wrist once more before pulling away from Alyia, despite the tight grip she had on him, he managed to yank her off and climb up the wall across from the group. He slipped a few times, losing footing, but manage to get on the roof. He could feel adrenaline rushing through his body, he just wanted to get away. Some people from the corner of the alley were following him, it wasn't anyone from the group though. Or he didn't think so.

At some point, he found a abandoned building in the less crowded areas of Magnolia. It wasn't as noisy, it was almost perfect. "I need to calm down." He panted, leaning against the wall of the building before peeking into it's dusty windows, finding a couple of boxes that were labeled 'Vegetables'. He Attempted to open the door, but of course, it was locked. But the windows in the back weren't...

Allen was able to sneak in the building, exploring the depths of it's attic, making his way down to the bottom floor. He then practically threw himself down towards the labeled boxes before tearing them open. There were all kind of vegetables in there. Turnips, Radishes, And more. He sunk his teeth into the sources. Frowning all the same, still a little messed up after the confrontation. "Maybe I should go apologize. I did almost kill her.. And she did seem nice! Maybe I could've stuck around.. No way! All these other guys came up!" He was getting all confused again, he started to shout, messing up his hair in frustration, "Agh! I don't know anymore! So much for being human! I can't even handle frustration! If only Stein had made me stronger! Not that I need him. . " He sighed, gulping down another bite of the radish.

He raised an eyebrow as someone had fallen from the rooftops and into the dumpster near them. He was shocked at first from the suddenness of it and placed his hand onto his katana hilt. His focus was placed on the person so much that he didn't take his eyes off of the dumpster until the person came back out of it. He seemed to not give off any type of aggression so Cirven decided to do the same.

"None of this is my fau-" He started to speak but stopped as he saw the red-haired guy storm off. "Why do I get the feeling that I walked into a really weird situation.." He placed his left hand on top of his head and scratched it as he spoke. "Anyone want to fill me in here or-" He stopped speaking again as the bleeding red-haired girl ran off to go after the one who left. "Should we let her go while she is bleeding like that..?" He then moved towards the blonde girl. "Did I walk in on something that I wasn't needed for? The situation just looked like it needed my help or at least I thought it did."

Alyia sat up and looked after Allen as he climbed up the wall and ran. She would have run after him right away, but he looked as if he needed to get away. She pushed herself off the ground while looking down at it. Her head suddenly snapped up when she heard shuffling of feet. She saw Allison running down the street with blood dripping from her neck. With wide eyes she shot up, she knew that Allison was going to go after Allen, she was that kind of person. But she was stopped in her tracks hen the blue haired person directed a question at her. She spun on her heels and looked right at his and the person next to him. "We should not let her run around like that, she could die. The situation was a bit risky for you to step into, and help might have just made things worse." With that Alyia turned back around and took off after Allison, she couldn't let her die. Foot after foot she sprinted in the direction she had seen Allen go, this was most likely the way that Allison would go as well. She ran for several minutes when she felt a presence much like Allen's through a wall. Turning to look at the wall she could see a faint glow from it. 'Thank you Katherine,' Alyia thought as she ran around looking for an entrance. Finding none on the ground floor she looked up and saw that one of the windows was open.

Thordur was walking in magnolia, the wind was blazing around him making his hair be all over his head and the sun was as high in the sky as possible. Thordur stopped and said to himself "What a wonderful day, i feel like sewing something like my le-- He suddenly stopped talking when he was suddenly ran into by a little girl that was dripping blood all over the place. Thordur then said in a quite frustrated manner"What on earth!! you're lucky you didn't somehow get stabbed by the needles in my pockets..."

Just when he was starting to calm down, not only did he sense the presence of someone, the code embedded on his flesh started to ache, throb, and itch. He groaned, trying to suppress the pain but it's not like it would work. He clenched his chest where the code was located, the pain was almost unbearable. This was merely a side of effect on him being experimented on. This happened occasionally when he was lost in thought, and it was often. He started to groan louder, crawling over to the dusty walls leaning on them, his back against the walls and his rump on the ground.

Obviously clenching his clothing wasn't going to help, he stripped his upper body and walked over to a cracked mirror. It was pretty old. But he was able to see the horrid numbers engraved into his flesh, these numbers carrying a burden, these numbers grimly reminding him that he belonged to someone, "0..0..0..," He paused, "1." The code spelled out 0001, lost in thought again it started to hurt again. He groaned and clenched it tightly, gritting  his teeth and trying not to breathe.

The pain finally faded and he was stuck staring at the ceiling of the worn out building, in the part of town no one roams. He gazed at the ceiling, his shirt still off exposing his broad chest. It didn't bother Allen, in fact, he mumbled softly aloud, "Home. This can be my home. It's away from people and here I can suffer, alone." He looked down, at the red headed girl's blood on his wrist, and lip. Starting to regret what he had done. "Next time I see them.. I'll.. I'll.." He started to drift to sleep, ", i'll apologize. Isn't that the right thing to do, Khalan? You taught me that my issue can make people suffer.. I don't care what happens to them but.. you're always right. So I'll apologize, and I'll make sure they know that I regret it. Aren't you proud of me?" He then fell to sleep,
