He chuckled at the gesture the woman gave to the men now in the police car, she had attitude to her and that was always an attractive quality in a woman. It’s when they got an attitude with him that it became a little less attractive, but even then it was still sexy to him. “Damnit Malachi, get your mind out of the gutter!” he thought to himself. Usually he was able to keep those kinds of thoughts in check, especially when there was a woman around.

Malachi shook his head and grinned, “Trust me, you aren’t a nuisance ma’am. If anything this is the best company I’ve had all day, if I’m honest.” when someone is stuck around perverted co-workers and scumbags all day, it tends to take a toll. While Malachi didn’t hate being an officer, he certainly wished he could be in a different field or at least better station. It was rare that he was able to have normal conversation with someone, unless it was his mother or sister.

He jumped a bit when the woman suddenly became excited about something, but just the change in her mood seemed to make him smile. This woman had such a light to her that he hadn’t seen in someone in so long, she was practically like sunshine to him. Malachi listened to her idea and was ready to decline, mainly because he didn’t want to make this woman pay for him, but the bright smile on her face, he just couldn’t say no. So he nodded once, “Alright, lunch and then to the art gallery it is.” he chuckled a bit, “And considering I love art, getting to visit the art gallery will be a treat for me. I haven’t had much time to visit it since I’ve been back, so it will be nice for me.” he looked at her, with a genuine smile on his face, “Thank you, Miss Frye.”

Amara grinned when the Officer told her she was the best company he had all day. “Well then, Officer Medina, I must say I am honoured to be the best company you have had all day.” She wasn’t surprised though really. Amara saw at how a lot of the men in that station were. They acted as if they were pigs, but calling them that would actually be a disgrace to the pig specie itself. So to her, they were sick bastards.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” She chuckles softly from his reaction of her sudden change in mood. “I didn’t mean to frighten you.” Amara had that way of her ever since she was a child. Her father explained that Amara got it from her mother. One minute she would be talking and the next would get all excited over an idea. Her Father explained to her that is one of the reasons why he fell in love with her mother. When she would get excited about something, the light in her would brighten to the point where her father would ask if she were the sun. “You are in luck,” she smiles, “we have got in tons of new art that has yet been shown to the public.” Amara slowly came to a stop as she waited for the traffic to get through in order for her to cross the street. Suddenly, Amara looks to the officer. “And please, call me Amara.” As if on cue, the traffic has cleared and Amara quickly crossed the street to Diego’s.

She bites her bottom lip at seeing the crowd in Diego’s, one she doesn’t blame for the place due to how good the food is. “Would you like to order some food and we can just take it back to the art gallery?” Amara was all for being in a big crowd, but due to the day she has had, she just wanted a quiet place to eat.

Mariana nods once, “I believe you, Cal.” if there was one thing Cal was never able to do, it was lie to her. Even now she could still read him like an open book and she could tell he was telling the truth. But the one thing Mariana was glad that Cal didn’t lose within three years, was always knowing the right thing to say, “Well, you are right about that and I hope you know I would be willing to wait for you if I ever had too.” but Ana cleared her throating, not wanting to get ahead of herself. This was the first time her and Cal had seen each other in three years, so their relationship status was still undetermined at this point.

“Well Cross, if there’s certainly one thing you still have it’s that charm I know and love.” she chuckled and let her arms fall to her side. “Oh, but I’m no saint.” she thought to herself. If Cal knew what she had become, she knew he would probably run off and she wouldn’t blame him. She remembered what her brother had to do when he fell in love and she gulped a bit at the memory of him telling her. But she pushed that memory to the side and focused on her current happiness, “They might have been sinners compared to me, but I was no angel either Cal.” she said throwing a playful wink his way.

Mariana laughed a bit at his question and shrugged, “Hey, I mean some men do take on bodybuilding as a lifestyle so I could have assumed it was that.” But she remembered about his parents being in the military themselves and she nodded, “Well I’m sure your parents are really proud of you, I hope they’re doing well.” she smiled and focused her attention back to her mother, as Cal’s gaze went to her. Esmeralda knew about Cal and even liked him very much when Mariana brought him home, so she smiled and opened her arms, “Come here young man, I know for a fact you remember that in this family we don’t shake, we hug.” Mariana chuckled and rolled her eyes playfully, “Of course, it’s the Medina way.”

Hearing her say she believed him, Cal grins ear to ear at the red head. His heart beating faster than normal and the butterflies? They got worse in his stomach as he stood before Ana. “You may see yourself as the devil, but I still see that halo of yours, Ana.” He smiles softly at her. Cal shoves his hands into his pockets as she continued to stand before the mother and daughter.

When Ana mentioned his parents, Cal nodded once. “Yeah, Mom cried like a baby at my ceremony and Dad, well, you know how he is, Ana.” He chuckles as he remembered the day of graduating. His mother crying like a baby and trying to believe her eldest is all grown up while showing off his baby pictures and his Dad was giving out beer while performing a cookout for friends and family. It was a pretty fun day for Cal. He still remembered his little brother telling his parents he wished to be a Doctor instead of being in the army, which they were fine with, surprising enough.

Embracing Esmeralda in his arms, Cal returns her hug. He would never admit it, but she was like a second mother to him. One who wasn’t bragging about the military or anything of that sort. After hugging her, Cal pulls away and looks at the time before looking at Ana. “Would you two ladies like to go to lunch or anything?” He then saw some of the bags and felt bad. “Oh, nevermind--I don’t want to intrude on your mother daughter day, I can tell you ladies have been shopping.”

When Cal confessed to Mariana he never got her letter, she gave a confused look to her mother. Esmeralda simply shook her head and looked just as lost her daughter did, “As far as I know, your father gave him the letter.” Mariana shook her head and sighed, “I’ll talk to him later.” but she didn’t want to believe that her father could have lied to her, especially when he knew how special Cal was to her. Even though they were teenagers when they met, Mariana knew that he was the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. Mariana looked at him and even though she tried to stay mad at him, she couldn’t. Her voice softer than before, “Well, if you had gotten the note you would have known I never wanted to leave .. but I had too.” in the note she wrote that her father was sending her and her brother away to take care of their sick grandmother, because she knew she could never tell Cal what she had become.

Mariana smiled a bit at his words, it made her happy that she still had his heart. Because even with three years apart, he still had hers lock and key. “You really would have waited for me even though I would have been gone for three years?” She tucked some of her hair behind her ear and blushed a bit, “Honestly Cross, I don’t think any of them could compare to me, even if they tried.” she said with a playful smirk coming to her lips, mainly because she wanted to lighten up the mood.

When he told her he had joined the Marines, her face lit up and a smile came to her lips, “The Maines?! Cal that is great and so honorable!” she chuckled, “But I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised, one of the reasons I fell in love with you was because of the great courage you had.” she bit her lip for a moment and asked in a curious tone, “But .. me leaving wasn’t the main reason you joined though, right? I mean .. you could have .. you could have died Cal.” just the very thought of Cal being six feet under was enough to make Mariana’s heart stop.

“And as far as I know, Ana, I never gotten it or else I’d still have it.” Cal admits. He always kept little souvenirs from the things they did together, he even kept their little love notes from high school. Its all in a box under his bed. When he told her that she had to leave, he nods. “I..I understand, we all gotta do something that requires waiting for someone else.” For someone his age and life he has been in, Cal was actually wise in a way which surprised some people. Though his wiseness is what made his father choose him to be the Keeper.

Seeing her smile gave butterflies to Cal’s stomach and even made him weak in the knees a little. She always had that effect on him and he loved it. He kept coming back for the same feeling as if he were an addict. “For you, anything is worth it.” The soldier admits to the woman before him. Cal chuckles softly and shakes his head. “To me, they were all sinners in your light.”

A smile comes on the man’s face at her reaction to him joining. “How did you think I got so buff?” He jokes to the woman. “And you were somewhat of a reason, main reason, really was because I became the fifth generation in my family to join a Government branch.” He did come from a military family. His mother was air force while his father was a marine himself. Cal then looks to Esmeralda. “Also, where are my manners?” He extends his hang out for the mother to shake. “How are you doing?”

“It’s no problem Miss Frye, just simply doing my job. You just happened to be lucky I was heading out for my dinner break and my favorite cantina is towards this direction.” even though it was a lie, it was still the best way to cover up the fact he had been following her.

As he called in for backup, he knew it wouldn’t take the other officers very long. He shot a quick glare to the men now cuffed, he knew the men because they worked for his father, this was going to be a real treat to report to his dad. “Yeah dad, sorry I had to take in three of your goons.” he could already hear himself saying those words and the tirade his father would go on afterwards. Malachi knew these men would be punished, he just hoped he wouldn’t have to do the job this time. He shrugged, “Like you said they are savages, so unfortunately I think they lack in the intelligence department as well.” he heard one of the men scoff and mumble something, Malachi looked at him with a dark look in his eyes, “You have something to say scumbag?!” The man knew the look Mayor Medina gave and it was the same look Malachi was giving now, the man shook his head, “No .. No Officer Medina.” the man looking down and keeping his mouth shut.

“That’s what I thought.” Malachi said and focused his attention back on the woman knowing the other officers were coming in to collect the prisoners. He gave a friendly smile to the woman, “Well then I’ll be happy to escort you ma’am, besides I can pick up dinner afterwards.” he begins to walk with her and clears his throat, “So where is it exactly that we are headed? Home, office?” he asked giving a curious look to the woman.

“If kicking savages asses to the curb was my job, I’d be rich.” Amara admits to him, which is true. She usually kick’s someone’s ass on a daily basis, no matter if it’s training with other assassins, defending herself against a prick like she did with the three thugs not long ago. “I see, I was actually doing the same thing,” She blushes ever so slightly when he rose an eyebrow at her. “I meant, I was picking up food that I ordered earlier before getting the jailbird of mine out.”

As Amara stood there, she watched before at how easily scared the thugs got when they faced the Officer’s wrath and when they looked back at her, they saw her smirk. Though before they were thrown in the back of the police car, Amara waves at them as she mouthed, ‘bye, bye’. Her way of taunting the bastards who tried to pick a fight with her even after she warned them. I mean, was she not clear about that?

Her smirk returns back to its gentle smile when the Officer turned his attention back on her. “Well, I am glad it is no trouble,” she began to walk with the Officer. “I don’t like being a nuisance to someone, especially if that someone is of the law.” Despite having problems with authority, it is true. Amara looks forward as she continued to walk with him. “Well, I am on picking up the food I had ordered and head to my art gallery to set it up,” an idea pops into the brunette’s head. “if you want, we can eat at Diego’s and then if you like, go with me to my art gallery.” Amara suggests to the man. “Also, I’ll pay for the good--my treat, Officer Medina.”

Shatter Me || Mariana & Calhoun

tinabelcherwrites:

Mariana crossed her arms over her chest and decided to let Cal say whatever it was he needed to say, which was strange for her because usually she would never let anyone get a word in while arguing with her. As much as she hated to admit it, she missed his voice more than anything even if he was upset at her. It was better than not hearing his voice at all, which is exactly what happened while she was at training for three years. “What are you talking about Cal?” she said giving him a genuinely confused and hurt look.

“I never left you! I was in love with you, why in the hell would I have left you?!” while Mariana did leave suddenly, she left a note for Cal promising she would be back for him and begging him to wait. Her father promised to give the note to Cal and he did, when she came back her father said Cal didn’t want to wait for her and that he was gone. She winced a bit at his words and frowned, “I asked you to wait for me and you left. I promised you I would be back, but like you told my dad I just wasn’t worth waiting for apparently.” she bit her lip for a moment, holding back the tears as best as she could, “The sad part is, if the roles had been reversed I would have waited for you Cal, whether it had been for three years or twenty, I would have waited.”

As Cal stood there, he tried to be angry with Ana, but he couldn’t. He didn’t have the back bone in him to be even furious with Ana. How could he? This angel before him was still ever so beautiful even when mad. Hell, when she would get sick and puke her guts out, Cal would still find her beautiful. “I never got a note, Ana, okay?” It is true. When he confronted her father about Ana, he told her that Ana wished to never see him again, and it really did hurt him. Mariana was part of the reason why he went into the Marines, a distraction from her. He wouldn’t dare be with another girl for a long time. Whoever would try to be with him was a sinner in the saint light of Mariana.

Clenching his fists, Cal sighs as he held back tears. “If I gotten that note, I would have waited for you--hell, I still am if we are being honest here.” When he got another confused look from her, Cal bites his bottom lip. “I haven’t been with another woman since you--none of them compare to you.” As they stood there in silence, Cal breaks it. “The heartbreak I felt from you...it was part of the reason why I joined the Marines.”

“Hm, no more like three men being on top of you and getting ready to take advantage of you. Which in turn would have to involve me getting violent, so you saved me from having to do some work tonight.” he chuckled. Which was true, Malachi was really in no mood to fight anyone tonight, so it was a good thing the woman knew how to fight. He grinned at her response, nodding once, “Self defense? I can take that and believe it too, so you’re off the hook.”and with that Malachi began taking handcuffs out and began cuffing the men.

Before he could get to cuffing the last man, the woman attacked him again and he watched. He rolled his eyes at how stupid the man was. “You boys would think after you just got your asses handed to you by a woman, you would behave a little bit more.” he said, ignoring the complaining and cuffing the last man. Malachi looked at the woman, “You can let him go now, I got it from here, Miss Frye.” remembering her name from the police station. Malachi was a quiet man, but he listened and observed. He raised a curious brow at the woman, “Is there anywhere I could escort you to or would you like to finish your journey alone?” while he knew the woman could easily take care of herself, he still figured it was the right thing to do, to offer an escort.

“You’re welcome for saving you the trouble,” She smiles at him. The way he appeared to Amara, he didn’t look like the type to joke or even chuckle for that matter. “and why thank you, Officer..” Amara’s eyes flashed to his name tag before looking at him. “Medina.” The woman stood there as he began to cuff the scumbags that tried to take their advantage on her.

Hearing the Officer’s words, Amara giggles as the man groaned at the fact a woman kicked his ass. “They’re savages, Officer, what do you expect from men like these boys right here?” Removing her shoe from the man’s head, she took in pride as they were all cuffed and heading off to the slammer. Standing there, she watched as the Officer radioed in some back up and not long, they came and took the men away. She rose an eyebrow at his words and smirked a bit. “You and I both know officer that I can take care of myself,” She bites her bottom lip as she thought. “but, I wouldn’t mind the company, really.”

Mariana really did think the slap to the face would make her feel better, but it didn’t. She still had so much anger and pain inside when it came to Cal, but at least she let out some of the anger. She couldn’t deny the fact that she still had feelings for him and that she was still in love with him, she probably always would be. Mariana refused to cry out in public, it just wasn’t in her nature, so she simply held on tighter to her mom’s hand and continued walking. She stopped when she heard that familiar nickname and her eyes closed for a moment, taking in his voice and the fact he said her name. But her eyes immediately opened again and she turned around to face him, still anger written all over her face.

She scoffed and couldn’t believe he was acting as though everything was okay, as if he didn’t completely break her heart. “Are you kidding me?” she shook her head a bit, “You really are a piece of work, Cross.” Mariana knew she shouldn’t have another outburst in public, especially considering she would hear about it from her father later.

Mariana took in a deep breath and while trying to recollect herself, she gave a fake smile to Cal, “But if you really wanna know, I’m doing great, you know despite the love of my life basically abandoning me and moving on with his life like I was nothing important.” she grinned and nodded once, “So yeah, things are wonderful!” Esmeralda squeezed gentle on her daughter’s hand, keeping her voice low, “Mariana, let’s go home, this is not the time nor place for outbursts my darling.” Mariana shook her head and sighed, “Why? So Cal can go on living life like he’s done nothing wrong?” she asked her mom, but still keeping her gaze on Cal. As much as Mariana tried to hide the heartbreak in her eyes, she knew it was probably clear as day.

Crossing his arms, Cal’s face harden as he stood there basically getting bitched at by the woman who still had his heart in her hands. He sighs as he fought back any tears or negative emotion. “I abandoned you? I did no such thing.” He fired at the woman. “You left me.” The Marine roared at her as she hovered over the woman. As he watched Esmeralda try to get Ana to leave, he rolls his eyes at Ana’s words. “You have got to be kidding me, I didn’t do anything wrong!” Cal runs his hands through his hair as he shook his head. “You are some piece of work, Ana, really.”

Cal couldn’t help but laugh more of Ana’s harsh words. His hands to his sides. “For the last time, I did no such thing--you left me.” His voice stern. “ You left me and I had to pick up the pieces of the heartbreak you given me.”

I Can Save Myself || Amara & Kai

tinabelcherwrites:

Malachi had a more than mundane day, with him and his sister back in town it seemed things in Juarez had calmed down quite a bit. While not many people liked his father, he did keep his campaign promise of making Juarez safer, which seemed like what he had done. Of course there was still typical crimes happening, but nothing too drastic like there use to be. He sat at the front desk drinking his coffee and looking through some files the chief gave to him, it was people that his father needed taken care of at some point. If they were in black folders, they needed to be taken care of immediately. He shot a text to his sister saying they had work to do after she got done on her shopping spree with their mother.

When the door to the police station opened, his focus was still on the folders and reading over them. He heard the conversation between the officer and woman coming to pick up her brother, he rolled his eyes at the stupidity of the cop. “Pig,” he thought to himself. But considering the women in Juarez, he didn’t completely blame him for thinking the way he did, women were willing to do a lot to get a family member bailed out. Malachi basically kept to himself the whole time the woman was there and focused on his own business. Well, that was until the chief asked him to follow the siblings. Malachi was the man known to follow orders, so he did as he was told and followed the siblings. He came to a decision when the two split up, while he should have followed the brother, something told him to follow the sister and he went with his gut instinct.

As always his gut instinct led him in the right direction and he saw why, because right as the woman got jumped he was ready to help. But before he could move any further from the shadows, he watched as the woman took on all three of the attackers. “Impressive.” he thought to himself. When all the men were taken care of, Malachi only found it right to reveal himself, but putting on the act he heard commotion. So he revealed himself out of the shadows, looking at the men on the ground, “Well, I heard commotion but I didn’t think this would be the sight I’d come around too.” he looked at the woman, gesturing to the bodies, “You do all this or did you have some help? Because you do know you can be charged for assault, correct?” he knew he was arresting the men, but he thought it good to add some humor.

As Amara smirked down at the pain she caused the attackers, she was about to take off until someone revealed himself. She became surprised it was the police officer from the station, the one who kept his little mouth shut when the pig insulted her. Cocking an eyebrow, she smiles at him. “And what sight was that, officer? Me on the ground in pain?” Amara questions him as she places her hands on her hips. Her smile then turned into a smirk once again when he asked her if she had help. “Well, since you are the officer of the law, I will have to be honest,” Her voice sweet like candy itself. “it was self defense.” Which is true though Amara didn’t know how she would have to prove that to him. She knew how corrupt the police were here and it was all because of the Mayor, someone who works for the Templar. Looking down for a second, Amara caught one of the thugs by her trying to look up her dress, acting quickly, she uses her high heeled right foot to forcefully turn his head the other way. Purposely making the heel part dig into his ear. “Ah, lady!” He groaned in pain. “Y-Your heel is digging into--” “Good.” Was all she said before looking back up at the officer. Her eyes looked him up and down before finally looking him in the eyes.

Shatter Me || Mariana & Calhoun

tinabelcherwrites:

Mariana had been back about a month in Juarez, Mexico and finally got herself settled back into the city. After weeks of looking for the perfect home, she settled on her dream house and was now in need of furniture. Luckily her mother was always known for having a great eye when it came to home decor and furnishing, so she decided to take her mother out and take her furniture shopping. They had been to about three different stores in the mall and so far Mariana had yet to find things she liked, it was no joke when her family said she acquired her father’s pickiness. “Ana, at this rate we are gonna be at this mall all day.” Mariana always cringed when her mother called her that, mainly because there was only one other person that would call her that and he was long gone out of Mariana’s life. It was someone she wished she could have complete amnesia about, but unfortunately that seemed impossible. Mariana groaned, “Mamita, I love you, but please don’t call me that and trust me I’m sure the next store I wanna go to will have what I’m looking for, okay?” she gave her mother a small smile. Her mother nodded once and sighed, “Alright, just one more store and if they don’t have anything we’re calling it a day.” Mariana chuckled and nodded, “Alright, fair enough and besides it will give us time to go to that bakery we love so much.” she linked arms with her mother and continued on their way.

Thankfully the final store had everything Mariana wanted, so once everything was paid for and the delivery date was set, the two women began walking out of the store. Mariana felt her phone vibrate, talking it out of her pocket and reading a long message her brother sent her, “Ana, watch out!” but before Mariana could see what her mother was talking about, she immediately bumped into a toned and fit chest of a man. Mariana looked at him and instantly took of her sunglasses, preparing her apology but her words were lost when she saw the man in front of her. The first man she ever loved and also the man that broke heart in two, Calhoun. Mariana’s blood began to boil just seeings his face was sending her into a rage, but what made it worse was the girl next to him, practically glued to his side. She chuckled to herself and nodded, “How dare he come back into this town and with some slut.” she thought to herself. Without a second though or hesitation, Mariana smacked him straight across the face and glared at him, “You really are a piece of shit and not even that slap will be able to reflect all the pain you caused, you son of a bitch.” her words filled with venom. Her mother immediately grabbing Mariana, “Let’s go Ana, he doesn’t deserve anymore of your time.” Mariana nodded, “You’re right mamita, let’s go.” she took her mom’s hand and began walking away from Cal and his female companion.

The last place Cal wanted to be stationed at was Juarez, Mexico. His hometown. He would have chosen anywhere else in the world, but it had to be here due to the intel that Brotherhood had of the Templars. Cal may not be no Assassin, but his family had been in alliance with the Brotherhood for a long time. The Cross family was tasked with stationing a place for the Brotherhood to meet up and such. It helped Cal’s case more when he joined the Marines and ranked one of the highest of his section. Like I said, he may not be an assassin, but he can still defend himself. “Ah, yes, Mr. Frye,” Cal was on the phone with an assassin leader, Jacob Frye. “the last of the supplies for the infirmary have come in.” With that, Cal finished confirming that the hide out was done and ready for assassin’s all over Mexico to come and hang out here for their meetings, etc.

The following week had then become a lot rougher for all the assassin’s coming in and some of them being a pain in the ass to Cal. Though he kept his mouth shut. All he was is the Keeper of the Brotherhood. The one who knows where all of the assassin’s will be and when in Mexico. “I’m gonna go out for a few, Mr. Frye, be normal, y’know?” He tells the old man to which he nods, understanding. Jacob Frye treated Cal as if he were another son, a normal one who didn’t possess any abilities to wear the symbol, but still.

Cal found himself walking around at the mall and soon had some whore attached to his side because he was a Marine. Mentally groaning, he knew he had to get rid of her. She may have AIDs or something. Cal became caught off though when he bumped into someone and before he could say sorry, Cal became slapped across the face by his first love, Ana. As he felt his face, Cal watched as she walked away and without even thinking, he left the girl there and quickly ran to her. “Ana, wait!” He finally manages to catch up as he had a red mark on his cheek. “What was that all about back there?” Cal shakes his head. “Nevermind, how are you?” Despite getting slapped and feeling the pain return, Cal was a gentleman and honestly, happy to see her.

I Can Save Myself || Amara & Kai

Plastering a soft smile on her face, Amara walks into the police station to be the hero for her brother, Abel. Her idiotic older twin brother who got thrown in jail for a bar fight that he clearly started. “Hello,” she kept the soft smile on her face as she stood in front of the desk where two policemen sat. “I am here to bail out Abel Frye.” The fat police officer rose an eyebrow and looked the elegant woman up and down. “And just how would ya pay for yer brother’s bail?” A greedy smirk plastered on his face. “If yah want to give me a lap dance, all you had to do is ask sweetheart.” A confused looked spreaded across Amara’s face at his words. “Excuse me?” “With a body like that, I’d assume you were a--” Becoming grossed out by his assumption, Amara cuts him off. “You are wrong--I am a curator at the art gallery a few blocks away, now can I bail out my brother?” Just then, the Captain walks out and overhears the conversation. “I can help you with that, miss Frye, I assume?” Amara nods. “Yes, Abel is my brother.” With that, she walks into the Captain’s office to do the paperwork and pays for the bail. As she stood by the desk up front with the pig and the raven haired officer, Amara glares at Abel as he comes up front. “You wanna know the difference between you and I, Abel?” Her brother raises an eyebrow at his sister as he becomes uncuffed. “You start fights and I finish them.” With that, Amara walks out of the station with her brother in pursuit.

“Malachi,” the Captain calls out to the raven haired officer. “follow them and see where they take you,” He lowers his voice to now a whisper. “the boy has the mark of the Brotherhood.” The Captain than dismisses Kai Medina.

“I am getting tired of saving your ass.” Amara mumbles as she continues to walk, more so in front of Abel. “I’m sorry, did I hear something?” He questions as she follows her. “No, just the voices in your head.” She tells her brother as they make it to the street. “And yet they are so much more pleasant than yours.” Abel fires at Amara with a smirk on his face. She turns to face him. “I got work to do and you, you need to stay out of trouble,” She informs him. “I can only save you so many times from authority.” With that, Amara hugs Abel and tells him she will see him at home.

Turning the other way, Amara began to walk towards her work. “Ugh,” She let out a groan as she phone began to go off and answers it. “Ashley, I will be there shortly, okay?” The woman hangs up and continues to walk towards her work, unaware of being watched--though she had the feeling. Quickly turning a corner, Amara turned down an alley that passes as a shortcut to work. “Keep walking, Frye.” The woman mumbles to herself right before seeing movement from the corner of her eye. Dodging quickly, Amara looks to see who the attacker was which turned out to be attackers, plural. “What do we got here, boys?” says one of the thugs as the other says, “something to play with.” Rolling her eyes, Amara looks at them. “I don’t feel like fighting today so please, walk away before you get hurt.” When the thugs laughed at her, Amara takes off her coat and places it down on the ground. As if on cue, the first thug lunged at her with a knife, Amara grabs him by the arm and throws him over her before disarming him of his knife though not before breaking his arm. The thug behind the thug about to attack her had a silent gun aimed at her, using the knife she stole, Amara throws it at the gunned thug and nailed him in the shoulder. Keeping her stance, Amara eyed down the last thug who had a smirk on his face. “You fight like a girl, whore.” The brunette woman raises an eyebrow with a smirk on her face as well. “Good.” With that, Amara counter attacks the thug and laid on the ground in pain with his friends.

Picking up her jacket, Amara looks over to the final thug. “How about I don’t tell anyone you got your ass kicked by a girl.” The smirk still on her face. She might not have the mark of the Brotherhood, but she can fight like one.
