Touch of Insanity — Roleplayer Guild

The light was lowered from her eyes, she blinked a little, still blushing deeply. After a moment of blindness from the light she could see it was just a phone flashlight app, the guy who held the phone had an eyebrow raised as the few behind him were trying to cover up their laughter, the last two just smirking in amusement at her fear. “Freak.” She heard one of the girls whisper to the other as they giggled.

Carla looked away and started to walk away. She pushed her shaking hands into her pockets as if trying to hide them from on lookers. “Boo!” One of the guys yelled from behind making the whole group roar with laughter. Carla let her head lower, her shoulders pull up in a small hunch as she started to cry softly. She didn’t look up as she quickly walked away, her hair covering her face from any on lookers. Even as she got into the more crowded part of the boardwalk she didn’t look up. She made a beeline for the phone, bumping into people here and there getting yelled at. However, that didn’t stop her or even slow her down as she got to the phone.

Once there she took in a deep slow breath, her heart still racing a mild a minute. She took her shaking hands from her pocket and put them on top of the payphone to keep her from falling down. “It’s okay Carla, just breath.” She mumbled softly to herself before opening her eyes and standing up straight. Her hands still trembled just a little as she brushed the hair from her face. She keep on the deep slow breaths as she flipped her bag open and started to shuffle through it for her money. As she did so she bite her lower lip debating if she should try Hale or just go for the cab. If she had enough for two calls she’d call Hale first, if not she’d call the cab. Even though Hale said he’d always pick up if she called didn’t mean he always did.

Feeling a small chill run up her back, she glanced around as if someone was watching her. After a moment of her eyes slowly looking at each person nearby she knelt down and started to place a few things along the wood of the boardwalk trying to find her wallet. She had almost totally emptied it when she finally found it, a small smile coming across her lips before she started to open it and look for some money. She was short five cents for two calls. She bite her lip and looked around. She’d rather call Hale first, getting in a cab with a stranger was never a lovely idea for Carla.

Sighing she looked from her hand with the money in it back up to the people walking by. The real question was, could she con herself into asking people. She looked back at her hand and closed it around the cool money before standing up and pushing it into her jean pockets. She started towards someone. “Ah-ah umm, can-by.” She took in a deep breath and started again. “By any chance would you have five cents I could have?”

Hale was far from being quiet as he barreled down through the forest after the other faerie. With each hard pound of his worker boots on the forest ground gave way not just to sounds of snapping branches, plants and leafs but trembles deep into the Earth. If this brought more Faerie out, the better. Most of these sick bastards would be dead and gone. Just in the corner of his eye he saw the flicker of the faerie’s wing hit the moonlight to his left. He took a sharp turn, sliding in the damn Earth leaving a small skid mark where he turned before barreling after the faerie. He waited for the flicker of the moonlight to appear again, his eyes darting around as he jumped over fallen trees, bushes and passed around trees. THERE. Hs feet planted for just a moment as he aimed and fired. The loud shot seemed to shatter the air more than his stampede through the woods. He didn’t stop though, he pushed forward knowing that if he missed the faerie may try and throw him off again. He needed a confirmed death before he could double back.

Reaching about the spot he saw the last flicker of the wings, his eyes started to dart around looking for a sign, before in the distance he could hear something coming. It was one. . . no two things coming this way and fast. One was quiet, just sounded much like the breeze well the other rushed along the woods wildlife but quieter then Hale just had. Just as he was about to turn and take aim, he saw the flicker of the wings in the distance. “Shit.” He cursed knowing he was about to lose the monster. So he took off despite how he was already panting. As he was running a branch flung at him, something the faerie must have set up when Hale was looking for him. Hale ducked just in time, as some of the leafs brushed along the top of his head. He stumbled a little, almost tripping over the rock that suck out of the ground. “Fucker.” He growled as he got his footing back and kept pushing forward.

He could see the wings flicker once more much farther in the distance, it was almost impossible to make out, and that was when she appeared. He had been so focused on what he had been doing he forgot that two things had been coming. He almost ran headlong into her, but just at the last minute he stepped to the side and tripped over a root making him tumble to the ground and roll into a truck of a tree. “God fucking damn! You’ve gotta be fucking joking me.” He cursed before groaning softly.

Taking a moment to let the pain dim, he pushed himself to sit his head turning in the direction of the last spotting before he shook his head. “Hazel, you’re really starting to piss me off.” He stated with annoyance in his voice. He pushed his hands into the dirt before standing up. He reached behind himself to push the gun into the back of his pants before glancing at his own state. Dirt and nature stained his clothing, a soft grumble leaving his lips as h e started to brush himself off. “Wonderful.” He grumbled when he couldn’t get it all clean before twisting to look at the back of his jacket, but due to his wide frame was able to.

Sighing softly, he ran his fingers through his hair before finally looking at the woman with cold eyes. “Get over yourself, they were going to most likely rape and then murder two young girls. I wasn’t about to let them get away again.” He said coldly before silence fell between the two. “I know, I know, I’ll get out of here.” He said rolling his hazel eyes before turning down the beaten path he created.
