Nessa was running a tiny bit late to her next job. She had to do somethings for her aunt that she lived with. Man, I should get paid for always doing this, she thought. To be completely honest she wasn't the one who had picked this job to do. Her little brother had come to visit her once, and he saw the job on the board. He loved animals and thought that it was horrible that someone lost their pet lion. He had begged Nessa for weeks to take the job. That little boy sure does know how to get his way, she thought. She smiled at the thought cause when she was little she used to do the same thing with her parents. Her smile quickly faded. Nessa looked around for the person she was supposed to be working with but also taking in the view. "How do you lose a cub anyway?" She thought out loud. As she was walking she ran into a man, who seemed a little distracted. "Ow, my head," She looked up "I'm sorry sir, I'm kind of in a hurry."

OOC: Your post is too short, you need 250 words but you have ~180 or so. Oh, and that last paragraph is filler material.

She was still rubbing her head when she heard the man talking to her. His name was Azurius. "Yes, I'm fine. You'd be surprised of how many times I've ran into people, literally." Nessa studied the man in front of her. He was very tall, with dark hair and dark eyes. He looked as if he had been in a very deep thought. He also looked a little sad though, Nessa couldn't tell why. Though we all have something to be sad about, she thought. Nessa quickly stopped herself right there. No if I keep thinking about this I might not be able to do the job properly, she thought. Nessa turned around when she heard a different voice, a female voice.

When Suriel asked her, she actually started to think a little bit more about the situation that she was in. She has never seen people like them at the Serene Cliff before. She should know. Whenever Nessa wasn't feeling like herself she would always go to the Cliff to clear her mind. She hadn't gone to the Cliff in a long time cause the cliff just held too many hurtful memories. "Um, yes I am. Are you guys perhaps the people that I'm supposed to be working with?" If they were the people that she had to work with, this was going to be a very interesting job for Nessa.

Nessa could see that Azure was still worrying about how she was after running into him. He must have a super sweet and gentle heart to keep thinking about it, she thought. Nessa went over, took both of Azure's hands and placed them on her head. "Look, see? It's not broken, and I'm still standing. I'm fine, thank you though." She smiled up to him to show him that she was indeed fine. She let go of his hands then to think of a place where a cub might like to hide. Even though Nessa was part kitten she didn't really show it much. She could have turned into her kitty form to go and try to look better for the cub but, she didn't know how her comrades would react to it, so she stayed as she was.

"Hmm, I think we should start with the tall grass. It might remind the cub of its homeland it it would like to play in them." Nessa started to walk to the grass then stopped and turned around. "I didn't tell you guys my name did I? Well, no worries. I'm Nessa Rose Blue, and it's a pleasure to be working with you two." Nessa did a small bow. Even with everything happening she still knew to have manners, that's what her mama always taught her.

Nessa stood there for a small moment while Azure rubbed her head. She didn't swat at his hand, she didn't tell him he could stop, matter of fact she was used to it. She was kind of enjoying it do to her being part kitty, she liked people petting her. Though Azure finally took his hand away. As they were going towards the grass Azure said a very sweet thing to Nessa. Soon after he was apologizing for it. Nessa giggled at him. "You're fine. It's sweet of you for saying that," She started walking until she stopped and turned around to him "And with the little petting thing you did, that's normal for me."She gave him a smile than turned around and headed into the tall grass.

She looked around for the cub, until she realized that she was only going in circles. I wish I was taller, or better yet be able to turn into kitty, she thought. She gave a small sigh and continued on with her search. She had told Azure and Suriel that it might be better if they split up. That way they get to cover more ground. Though Nessa forgot one small detail... "I can't see anything!" She said to herself. Well this might take a while, she thought.

Nessa had taken a small break, sitting on a large rock that she had found. Well at least I know I'm not going in a circle anymore, she thought. She looked around her although she already knew that it was useless. She sat with the rock for a while until she decided to go and try to found her way to either the cub or her partners. If I find one or the other is better than being alone, she thought. She should know that part better than anyone...

She had been walking for hours and still didn't see her partners or the cub. Wait, I totally forgot, she thought to herself. She stopped walking and stood there, listening. Nessa had super good hearing better than any human, and most animals. As she was listening she heard the sound of wings flapping. Now this would have been normal if the wings were the size of a regular bird. Nessa looked up and saw a shadow in the sky. It had the wings of a large bird but then the body was of a human. She also saw something that looked familiar to her. Is that Suriel, she thought.

Nessa watched in amazement as Suriel, who Nessa now knew that had wings, came from the sky to stand by her. Soon after Azure came out of the grass towards them. "I think you and I should stay close. Don't need be lookin' for a lion and my partner." He said to her. She could hear the concern in Azure's voice as he spoke. Nessa, never really being good with words, went up to the man head down and gave him a hug. She said something that was muffled do to her head being buried in Azure's shirt. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, she kept thinking. Though she didn't realize that she was also saying it as well. The last time she had been separated from someone she wasn't supposed to be, it ended with Nessa's heart being torn out. Soon though she started to cry.

Nessa felt Azure rubbing her head softly. They stayed like that for a few minutes so that Nessa could try and gather herself. "I'm sorry for that. It's just what you said reminded me of someone that I loved dearly but lost tragically a few months ago." Nessa looked at Azure's shirt that had blotches of her tears. "I'm so sorry for messing up your shirt. When the job is done I'll pay for the dry cleaning." She gave him a smile. She really did remind her though of him. She first tried to rub at the blotch but it did no good, so she stayed with her commitment of paying for the dry cleaners. "I think that your plan will do me much good seeing that I can't see above the tall grass." She turned but than a question came to mind that she just had to ask "Does Suriel and you have the ability to fly?" If this was true than she would be able to show them her little secret as well.

Nessa looked up at Azure to see that he wasn't at all mad at her for crying on him. "Th-thank you." She said with a little bow. She started to like having his hand pet her. It felt nice and familiar to her somehow. Though that nice feeling didn't last Nessa long. Soon she heard them coming before the others did. How the heck did they come all the way over here, she thought to herself. Before she had even came to meet Azure and Suriel, Nessa had to make a stop at the local market to grab somethings for her aunt. While she was there though she had met a group of teenage boys, around her age but a bit older. They had tried talking Nessa into leaving with them but she had declined multiple times. But it seemed that the boys couldn't take the hint cause out of the grass they all came "Now where is she?" One with a beanie on asked. They all looked around until one with a snap-back, the leader Nessa had figured out, spotted her. "Hey, there's our little market girl. What's up babe?" Oh boy this wont be good for them, she thought as she saw that Azure had taken a shotgun out.

Nessa was still a little bit turned towards Azure, but she could still see that the boys were taken aback by his threats. Even though she shouldn't have in a situation like this she couldn't help but giggle. She could feel the boys shock as well as Azure and Suriel for her to be giggling where Azure was making threats. She smiled while she looked up at Azure. "Thanks but you're gonna be having your own problems, I can take care of them. Trust me." She gave Azure and Suriel one more smile before she turned and faced the group of boys."You guys are really stubborn now aren't you?" She said with a little smirk on her face. "Well what do you expect? You left without a proper goodbye to us" The one with the beanie yelled. Nessa snickered at the remark "Oh really? And what might a 'proper' goodbye have been?" She had a really good guess about what they were gonna say too about it. "By getting on all fours and letting us have some fun!" The leader barked and they all started laughing. Nessa saw Azure's face change with anger out of the corner of her eye. She had to quickly place her hand up and lower the gun before Azure wasted a shot on these idiots. "Don't worry, I can handle these ones. I promise. You're gonna need all your bullets for whats coming." She said as she turned back to the group. She had a smile on her face. It wasn't her sweet smile, it wasn't a fake smile, it was a smile that only those who wanted to fight her blindly saw and always regretted seeing right after. "Oh, okay than. We'll have some fun..." Nessa said as she walked towards the group, a hand on the hilt of her sword that hung on her waist.

As Nessa started walking towards the group she saw that Suriel and Azure had left behind the brushes to take care of whatever was coming. As she got closer to the group the one with the beanie tried to grab her arm. She pulled on his arm and used him as a bass so that she was able to flip off him and land in the middle of the group, as she flipped off the boy she made him fall face first into the dirt. "Now how about some fun, hmm?" Nessa had brought out her sword from its sheath, and looked around at the boys that circled her. "Haha come on now little girl, put that sword down, you'll hurt yourself." One on her right said. She let him grab her hand with the sword in it she gave him a smile and said "Oh thank you" and then punched him right in the face making him lose the grip on her arm and fall to the ground "What the hell!?" Their leader said. "Now who's next hmm?" As she said that she saw all of them pull out some type of weapon from their pants. Some had knives, some had poles, their leader had a gun. Nessa looked around the circle and laughed "Aww, what cute little toys, too bad they wont be any good against me." She said, "Now who's first?"
The beanie guy and the one who had tried to grab her sword came at her first. Beanie had a knife and the other had a pole. Nessa flipped her sword and used the hilt to hit the pole guy in the stomach knocking the air out of him, than she used the other part to deflect the stab Beanie guy was trying to make at her. She slid her sword across his knife so that she was closer to him and gave him a left hook with a right leg kick coming up after. Both boys went down around the same time. When they went down Nessa looked around the circle and saw the boys faces change. Good that they change but they wont leave now, she thought. Just than 3 of the guys from the group came at her at once all with knives. Nessa smirked and jumped up into the air letting the 3 guys run into each other. She landed on her feet and looked as they soon got up and came at her again. She parried all their attempts at touching her and made sure that she always got close enough to give them punches. Soon all 3 fell. Nessa looked up and saw that the only other person that was up was the leader. "Now the real fun begins."
Nessa could see that the leader was terrified. She saw that he had picked up Beanies knife so he had a gun and knife. She took her time walking up to him. "Do you even know how to use that toy?" she taunted. It finally looked like the guy snapped cause seconds after she said that he started to shoot at her. She blocked the bullets using her sword but as she was blocking he had advanced on her and had actually slashed her arm. Nessa cried out in pain and clutched her arm. The boys eyes had changed and he had this evil grin on his face "How does that feel you piece of trash!?!" Nessa had her head down but you could still see her mouth and she was smiling that smile the no one sees unless they fight her. "You think this actually has effect?" She looked up at him and laughed. The next thing the boy knew was that she was now behind him when seconds before she was in front of him. She first swiped his feet from under him and kneed his back as he fell so that he landed sitting up. She than swiped the knife from his hand but before she could get the gun, he shot it at her and it got her leg. It hurt her but she wouldn't stop. she used the knife she took to, slice his fingers so that the pain would make him drop the gun, which he did quickly after. She picked up the gun and pointed it at the leader as the others started to finally get up. "Now get out of here, and if we ever meet again, don't even try to say a hello to me, got it?" All of them nodded. She did a quick move and all the bullets from the gun dropped onto the floor. She threw the empty gun to one of the guys. "Take him and get out of here" she said pointing to Beanie guy. They all got up and started to limp away. Nessa sighed and checked herself. She got a long cut on her arm and got shot in the leg. Well worse has happened to me, she thought. As she turned around though, she didn't notice that the guy that came at her with Beanie hadn't left and had grabed a knife and came at her. She moved out of the way but not quick enough, he had made a slash across her back. She grunted and jumped up, coming down on the guy with a hurricane of punches and kicks. Soon after the guy was on the ground knocked at and looking a bit different than before. Nessa stood there dripping sweat and blood. "Well that was fun." She said and giggled. She turned around to the brushes and saw Azure standing there Uh-oh, she thought.
