Snippet #2374986

A young red haired woman raced across the rooftops of the city, blue eyes narrowing on her target. A man in black was also running along the rooftops, running away from her. Nikita watched as he jumped from one roof to the other, she followed, picking up speed as she launched from the building. The bounty hunter rolled on the shingles, getting back up fluidly. Her target was only a few feet away, staggering as he ran out of breath. The elemental summoned her fire, closing her eyes and reopening them as two fire daggers appeared in each hand. Nikita tackled the man, both skidding at the edge of the roof as she pinned him down. "You're coming with me, slick." Standing, she grabbed him by the back of his shirt, hauling him to his feet. Yet another bounty she had collected, another criminal that would be behind bars. "Jacoby, mind taking him to the boss? I think in gonna stick around for a bit." Nikita asked the black fox who had appeared. "Of course." The crowfox promised, snarling at the man and guiding him away.

Nikita sat down on the edge of the roof, swinging her long slender legs back and forth as she watched the people down below walking down the streets in between the buildings. With a sigh, Nikita looked up at the soft blue sky, frowning as she felt a breeze pull at her hair. On the horizon were storm clouds and the hint of rain on the air. "Great." She muttered, climbing down from the rooftop. Once there was only a few feet left till the ground, she jumped, landing on her feet. Nikita brushed the dust and dirt off of her yellow blouse and short tan shorts. Before she knew what was happening a large six legged dog had crashed in to the back of her legs after coming around a corner. The two fell to the ground, Nikita giving a yelp of surprise, glaring up at the dog...thing...that had taken her down.

The young fire elemental stared up at the dog with her wide, shocked, blue eyes. "Uhhh." She stuttered, too stunned to form words. You could put the man hunter in front of a dozen armed men and threaten her life and she would only laugh. But you put her in front of an animal and she would freeze up. Nikita didn't like hurting the innocent and she considered all animals to be sacred and pure. "Hey there big girl," she smiled nervously.
