_____Alexandra did not even need to step within the city limits to know this was going to be next to impossible for her alone. Sure her body was, living to a extent but it was mostly kept together by her own magic and this city screamed that crossing the line would stop that and leave her on a ticking timer. So she opted and hoped the guild would not have an issue with her bringing her favored plaything Shadow who looked nervously to the woman as she crossed the unseen line and felt her magic rip away from the body almost instantly dropping her to a knee as she gasped for air.

_____Lungs contracting, and the painful truth setting in as she felt her heart begin beating again, Shadow rushing to offer a shoulder to help her master up as Alexandra smiled gently and started to walk with the help of her servant. They had to find the person quickly, sure it was simply Alexandra without magic but her body was not exactly stable without it as the woman kept a rushed pace and alert eyes for anyone that dared not only claim the name of the guild, but made the reaper come to such a place that made her human again.

"Please... Master leave this to me... You can wait outside..." - "You know that won't work Shadow... The guild set this task for me... I'm already risking it asking for your help... I should be fine standing on my own now... thank you..."

_____Moving away from Shadow who did not remove the worried look from her face as her Master looked to be turning human. Her red hair was changing to blond, and eyes a mix of red and green as her skin even looked to be gaining a pale color as she stood on her own. Grim, no Alexandra hated how she looked, hated the memories tied with it as she pushed forward looking for the pest with rage in her eyes. She imagined the thousands of possible fates she would subject them to for going against the guild, but first they had to find them.

_____The two stuck mostly to the darker end of the city, even if it was stereotypical thought Alexandra figured the first place to look would be the underbelly if this person was going around without getting caught by the rest of the guild. And seeing as how both of them looked to be easy marks as one woman was fussing at the side of the other who looked to be in immense pain the woman hoped it would draw out her prey. She even went the further efforts to wear normal clothing that made her look more a damsel lost on the bad side of town.

_____Watching the hustling of merchants, the ragged attire of passing faces glancing the two a once over yet none stood out. Watching figures look at from the alley and whisper as they kept a focus lock on them Alexandra knew her plan was a double edge sword and lure for more then just a fake using the guild as extra protection for their crimes. Shadow moving to stay closer to her master and glare down anyone who seemed to think they could get close to the woman without her giving them a fight for it. A note she would loosen the control over her favorite after everything was settled.

_____The idea getting set on a side burner as a group approuched from before them and Shadow move to block Alexandra and deal with the group as she moved ahead. Alexandra was about to follow before she felt a blade to her back and a very faint 'shh' sound as she glanced slightly over her shoulder to see a man turning his head to an alley and pressing the blade against her more. Grumbling to herself as it seemed her job would be set on hold as she moved to do as she was told for the time and getting what seemed like the lone member of the group away from the rest.

"Anything of value, hand over slowly, we would not want to hurt you now would we?"

_____Alexandra slowly turned to face the male, her hand reaching to her wrist as she slowly removed her bracelet but smiled at him as he held the blade outward. Reaching the trinket out and waiting for when he reached to take it before she stepped forward catching the blade into her side and wincing recalling the fact she felt pain and could bleed a moment to late. Hand with the trinket slamming the man away as she used the other to hold the weapon in her side to make sure he lost the grip with the change of events before pulling it out as black blood dripped off it. A slow jesture as she licked her blood from the blade and smiled happily as she pointed it to him.

"Such a rookie, if you get rushed in such a way you should TWIST the blade or move it to try and hit something more vital for their attempt darling.~" - "Tsk, why would I need to do that... You should just return the weapon and give the bracelet and other items... Less you want the might of Nightmare against you for harming a member... ha..ha..." "OH~ What a coincidence, I have been looking for them... you see..." A slow hand pulled down her dress, the guild symbol resting over her heart as she smiled as his face went pale.

"To think you would harm a fellow guild member, such a bold move... You see, though i think you know this... When guild infighting starts... it only ends when the other is dead or submits... but i don't play the whole submit rule when someone else starts it.~" - "Ho...Hold on... We... let's work something out... I... I'll stop using the guild name... you can have what I have on me..."

_____Alexandra smiled as she stepped forward, the man falling backwards as she toyed and tossed the dagger in her hands. It was not her sacrificial dagger, but it was balanced enough for what she had in mind as she rushed the man as he fell down. legs to his arms and frame holding him down as she held a hand over his mouth and in a quick motion with the dagger cut his ear off as he screamed into her hand. Holding the ear as she chuckled lightly and whispered into the severed part loud enough to still be heard.

"What you have on you, and stopping using the name of our guild is a good deal, I'll take your ears, as you heard the others act in fear of our guild name in vein... Eyes that dare see the fear WE worked to instill without properly earning it... tongue for speaking our name... And your heart... because I simply love those to eat.~"

_____The terror and struggle of the man as Alexandra chuckled and took his other ear with another quick motion before going after each of the other things she would take as payment for his false claims against the guild. When she emerged from the alley, her mouth dripping with blood and staining her outfit as she licked her fingers and looked to see Shadow rushing over with a worried gaze falling to her wound.

"Master... Your hurt... My magic..."

_____A slow hand as the girl seemed to try and call her shadow to help tend the wound with no avail. "We have to tend it the old fashion way here darling... and while we do I need a new outfit before we can leave here..." Turning to start walking as Shadow removed her coat and used it to apply pressure to the wound as she kept pace with her master covered in the blood of the guild's enemy. It was possible the one she slain was simply a copy cat, but for the moment she would need to have her wound licked and clothing cleaned or replaced before she kept hunting now that she had a weapon stashed in her sleeve as it dripped a trail of blood behind them. It seemed this town was in need of a lesson, NONE should speak of the darkness that was Nightmare.~ Who better then the reaper herself to send it.
