...Drip...Drip...Drip...
The pitter-patter of rain hitting the ground mixed with the stomping of hurried feet.
"Oh god, is he still following us?" A hunter, one that had failed at their assignment, had recently had most of his team wiped out. The hunter, revealed to be male, was running with the other surviving member of his team. "I'm not waiting to find out." A young female, with white hair, had been the only other member of the team to survive.
Their team had been slaughtered mercilessly by someone who had, in their briefing, been said to be a part of the Leviathan family and an easy target. "I-I-I think we l-lost him." The male was tired. He had been expecting an easy paycheck, a simple shoot and clean-up operation. That was how all the other operations went, it was never as hard as this.
Thunder rolled down from the heavens, hiding the careless steps of Aleistar. The male hunter was named Cain while the girl was named Lilith. Cain, a cowardly hunter, yelped when he heard the thunder's crashing. "Shut up! You'll rev-" Lilith suddenly stopped talking, an expression of horror on her face.
Cain never got to see what Lilith had been afraid of, having been killed by the creature that had stood behind him. Lilith didn't waste any time standing still after having seen the life leave her team member's eyes.
Lilith, being much faster than the creature, managed to escape its grasp. She was not however, faster than Aleistar. Lilith ran into the streets of what seemed to be Circle Two, then headed for a conveniently placed library. Aleistar followed calmly behind, knowing that the girl had sealed her fate as soon as she choose to go the library.
Lilith went into the dark library, which was for some reason not locked, and sat down at a sofa. She pulled out a phone and typed in a set of numbers but never got to call, for she had thrown her phone to the side of the library. She had seen a shadow over her, but there was no one to be seen near her. Levi quickly sent a small imp-like creature to get the phone, then killed the girl without a moment's hesitation. He only let the girl live so he could get information, and he no longer needed her.
He did, before disposing of the body, check the girl's clothes for anything that could be useful but found nothing other than what would be expected. He would send what he could to the girl's family later, but he had other business to take care of.
Levi made his imp give him the phone and instantaneously memorized the phone number that was written on it, then brought out his own untraceable phone. Levi called the phone number, '134-594-4999'((OOC):random number, don't call)) and was soon answered. [color#91136F]"I'm hurt, really, you sent pitiable hunters against me."[/color] Levi was instantly hung up on. He expected that he had been targeted by a beginning hunter force with little experience, otherwise he would have had more trouble.
Early Morning
Levi had inspected every inch of the phone and its files, backed up said files, then sent the phone away with a bat-like creature. There was no way he was keeping that phone with him.
Levi, having told his friend taking care of his library what had happened and to lock the damn doors, left Circle Two and went towards the Academy. The rain didn't seem to want to let up, so Levi was forced to use a black umbrella. He would have used a magical shield, but didn't want to bother using the energy.
Levi reached the gates of the Academy and fumbled with his keychain before finding the correct key, then unlocked the gates. He was about to enter when he noticed what appeared to be a small child. Levi calmly approached the girl, crouched down, and covered both of them. He didn't ever believe anybody was harmless, yet his voice seemed to say otherwise. "You should really be more careful, there are monsters out here." Levi was referring to himself mostly, but the girl most likely wouldn't catch the truth in his words. "Anyway, I don't want there to be a dead body outside the gates, so come with me." His voice was calm and assuring, yet his words seemed to be harsh.
Levi passed through to the other side of the gates and waited for the girl to come or not come, then closed the gates. Levi walked to his classroom and turned around, half expecting for the girl to have turned into a large monster. He wasn't worried about having to fight in the school. The school itself was reinforced with magic and he had deployed creatures to be guardians of the school, guardians that he could see through and control.
