Racheal looked over her shoulder then continued talking to Kailen. She mentioned Rikkes name to Kailen, telling Kailen a little bit about him. Kailen was asking a few questions about him, not asking Rikkes himself. Secretly he was a bit nervous and unsure about this new comer coming into the underground city. Racheal and Kailen continued to talk a while longer before they finally got to the underground city. Racheal smiled, she was home once again. Where she had been beaten almost to death and where her aunt treated her poorly. This place brought out a side to Racheal nobody could imagine.

Rikkes listened to their conversation, not trying to eavesdrop, just not really being able to avoid listening. It made him feel a bit excluded when they talked about him, but he didn't mind much, they just both didn't know him well was all, he only just met- met her and she had been hunting him for about a week before. Only today she'd captured him... and he'd gotten away... and she'd saved him.. and he'd saved her. Everything was just today.

Racheal looked forward, as soon as she walked forward her smile dissapeared and she grew angry again. Her brother stopped her. "If they catch you in here again they'll kill you." He said, warning his sister. Racheal nodded, "Death is a risk I'm willing to take." She said before walking again. Her brother turned and looked at Rikkes, "Has she been like this around you? So hardcore and so, angry?" He asked, walking beside Rikkes now.

Rikkes smiled, "You have no idea... it's been quite a... trip really. It's actually quite amusing not that I think about it. She was hunting me for some reason, I'm assuming it's because I'm a shifter, and she caught me, shot me in the shoulder actually, drug me back to her employer..." he proceeded to tell the rest of the story.

Kailen grinned and shook his head. "Yup, that sounds like her work." He said and looked around. He sighed happily as he came back and walked into the city. He smiled as the villagers greeted him happily. Kailen looked around, "If you ever get her to tell you her past I think you'll be able to understand her anger a bit more. But the best time to ask her is after she begins smiling again. She likes telling the story but you're lucky if you'll be able to hear all of it." He said simply.

Rikkes smiled, "I'll keep that in mind, thanks." he said, liking Kailen more and more he knew the man, he seemed like a nice guy. He glanced around "This place is amazing." he said, grinning.

Kailen smiled, "No problem." He said, looking around himself. He took in all of the beauty and all of the beautiful people. "Wait till you get to see the women, they are unforgettable. Like my sister." He said with a grin. Kailen shook his head and looked around, smiling deeply. He smiled, watching his sister dissapear into the huge crowd un-noticed.

Rikkes smiled, "Sounds interesting." he said, not quite sure if he was willing to believe that, she was something, but as he looked around he found Kailen's words mostly true, everyone was good looking, but he did think none could truly compare to her, when he thought about it.

Kailen looked around at the people ahead of him as the crowd formed a circle. It was Racheal and some guard circling each other. The guard was wealding a chain with a big ball of spikes on the end. The people made room. Kailen fought towards the front, gasping as the crowd pulled him back along with them. The guard required more room. Racheal smiled evily, "You don't know how long I've been waiting to get at your throat again." She growled. The guard smirking. "If I were you, I would back down." Racheal smirked, "But your not." She growled and lunged at him. The guard swung the ball forward. The chain wrapped around her throat, the ball clinking against it. She fell on her knees as the chain tightened. She began chocking and gaging. The guard stepped forward, Racheal kicking his legs out from under him.

Rikkes sighed, she never seemed to be able to keep herself out of trouble and that was a bit annoying, but he glanced at Kailen, "Should I get in there in help her... don't want to do anything stupid..." he said, already walking, ready to help or do what Kailen said to do.

Kailen looked over at him, "No this fight is best let to be settle by them." He said and turned to watch the fight. Racheal grabbed the knife and put it up to the guard's throat. Looking up at her brother and Rikkes she shook her head and sighed, tossing the knife aside just after saying, "If it weren't for family, you would be dead." She growled. Racheal stood up and began to walk away, the guard grabbing her ankle and making her fall. Racheal whirled around and grabbed the knife off the ground, piercing it down into his heart, through his clothes. Racheal stood up with blood on her hands. "If any of you, even dream of telling this to the King, I'll make it my personal mission to see to it that you recieve a pain unthinkable by even the cruelest of the goons." She growled before walking away. Kailen looked at Rikkes, "See what I mean? She's dangerous." He said, everything going back to the way it was.

Rikkes grinned, "Well, I knew that, just she won't always be able to stay out of trouble and get out of it..." he said, glancing at the other man, he stopped, shaking his head.

Kailen nodded. "That's why she was imprisoned." He said and shook his head. "If you want to know more you'll have to ask her. It's out of my place to tell her business without her consent." He said simply, "Racheal come back please." He said, calling after his sister. Racheal whirled around and shook her head, keeping forward. Kailen sighed, "Stubborn." He grumbled. Racheal chimmed in, "Cry baby." She said, going back and forth with her brother. Kailen shook his head. "Okay okay I'll stop." He said.

Rikkes laughed and jogged up after her, hopping she wouldn't mind walking next to him. He smiled at her, "Well, that was interesting. You seem to have a knack for getting yourself into trouble..."

Racheal flashed him a smile, "Danger just follows me. I don't know why I just seem to attract all the negative, dangerous type attention." She said with a shrug. "Alot of my life has been filled up with that. Negativity and danger. Things I can't begin to explain in the right places. But I can tell you the story if your interested. All you've got to do ask." She said, a man walking by her and bumping her shoulder. Racheal snapped on him. The man was wide eyed, "Razor X!" He exclaimed, running off. Racheal shook her head, "I'll explain that later."
