The setting sun disappeared behind the mountains, and not long after did the moon replace it. The dark shadows of the night were like wormholes ready to engulf anyone. Their fingers curled at the edge of the alleyways, ready to snatch anyone up that dares to even come close to it. Such things like this can't happen, or can they?

The grunting of a person was heard in a somewhat lit alleyway. A man was on the ground as another figure hovered above him. The man gritted his teeth in pain as he tried to move away but the person wasn't going to have it. They grabbed the man by the collar of his fancy buttoned up blue shirt and slammed him against the brick wall, their hand not leaving his shirt.

It was quiet for a couple of moments before the person decided to speak. "Who sent you?" The voice came out feminine and had a silky tone to it, except for the harsh venom that was heard. Clearly, she wasn't very happy with the man.

"I can't say." He mumbled lowly.

Oh, that was not a good answer to tell her. She tilted her head to the side slightly and he could see the grin that was plastered onto her lips. "Really now?" Her face moved towards him just an inch. "Do I need to find out the hard way? Or would you like me to actually be nice?" She asked as her grip shifted to a slightly tighter one.

"Giving me a choice, are we? How pitiful coming from someone who seems so sweet." He sneered as his hand whipped up and grabbed her forearm.

She frowned and jerked him forward, her lips brushing against his ear as she spoke. "I may look sweet, but I am just as bad as the Devil." She flicked her free hand and a knife appeared in it, the moonlight glistening off the blade. "Now, are we going to go the easy or hard way?" She asked as she ran the blade against his cheekbone.

He hummed like he didn't realize that he was about to get beaten until he gives her an answer. It's like he didn’t care about what was going to happen to him. She looked down his body as she waited to see if he was going to give her an answer. She wasn't checking him out. Rather, she was looking for any signs that she could use against him to get what she wants. She wasn't leaving him till he told her who sent him. Once she saw the ring on his finger, she knew the perfect way to get to him.

"It seems I will have to go the hard way." She took the tip of the knife and let it drag against his collarbone, watching as blood trickled out of the small gash. She did the same thing to his cheekbone until she knew he wouldn't say anything without some more motivation. "It seems that I am going to have to pay a visit to your family, won't I? They will surely give me the answers to what I want as I am going to guess that your wife won't want anything to happen to your children." When she saw him stiffen at the word of his children, she knew that she hit a spot in him. "Now, I am going to ask you once more before I lose my patience, who sent you?"

When he seemed to still not want to tell her, she let a sigh leave her lips. She has given him many chances for him to tell her, but it seems he won't even budge a muscle. His family was the last straw and it seemed to barely even make a dent in having him tell her. Well, it seems she will have to find his family to go through with her threat.

He whispered something so low that she couldn't hear it. "What was that?" She asked, hoping that it was the name she was looking for.

He lifted his head up some, his eyes trying to lock onto hers, but he couldn't find it in the shadow that was covering her face. "I said, Enzo. Enzo is the one who sent me." She dropped him and watched as he crumbled to the ground.

She stepped away from him, her face lifting to look at the sky. Now you could see what she looked like more clearly without the shadow covering her. Her long red hair went down her back in loose curls, stopping just above her waist. Her ocean blue eyes seemed to hold lose and anger in them, perhaps even darkness. She had a petite figure, but many knew she worked to get her body the way she wanted it to look. Her soft caramel skin looked gorgeous on her and made her eyes pop out a bit more.

She tapped her fingertips against her chin as she thought, her eyes not leaving a certain spot on the brick wall. She saw a movement out of the corner of her eye and knew that the man was trying to escape. "I'm not done with you. I would stay unless you want to make it worse for yourself." She stated as she turned to face the man. She was only met with the barrel of a gun pointed at her face. "And you made it worse for yourself." She shook her head. Why were mortals always so stupid?

He pulled the hammer down as he didn't budge to put it down. "You threatened my family. I have every right to do anything I want."

She rolled her eyes as she shifted her weight onto one leg. "It was the only way for you to even say anything, you idiot. I wasn't even going to threaten them at all. I was going to act like a sweet person and talk to them about what you did as your profession. I am sure they would believe me if I said I was an FBI under investigation about the murders going on at your corporation."

His frowned deepened slightly but he slowly let the hammer of the gun back down. "You weren't going to hurt my family?" He asked skeptically.

"Uh, no. As I said, I needed you to talk." She pinched the bridge of her nose as this was ridiculous that she had to explain all of this to him. "On more important terms, how the heck do you even know who Enzo is?"

He put the gun away in his jacket, showing her that he wasn't going to try anything funny. Well, with the gun he wasn't. He might decide to use boxing or whatever if it had to come to that. "He appeared one day and asked if I wanted to do him a favor. He said he was going to pay me big bucks if I could spy on you for him." He explained simply, shrugging his shoulders slightly. "I thought it was because you were a part of some corporation or whatever that he is going against but that seems to not be the answer."

She hummed as it seems like something Enzo would do to get his way with anything. "Why would he be interested in you?"

"I don't know. He said that you knew who Selene, whoever that is, was and wanted to know what she was up to. He didn’t give me anything else after that."

Yep, he was a dumb one. "You must've not heard him right, sir." She exaggerated. This man probably just chose what he wanted to hear. "You were looking at her the whole time. I'm Selene. Surprise." She sarcastically stated as she did jazz hands. "Also. I wouldn't have made the deal with him." She turned on her heels and started to walk away.

"Wait!" She stopped at his voice and turned her head slightly to let him know she was listening. "Why do you say that?"

A small smile curled onto her lips. "Well, Mr. Black, it means that you are no longer safe. When he finds out that you told me everything, he will come after you and your family. He is not one to mess with and I say that with heavy venom. If you want to try and survive until I find him, I suggest you relocate before he finds you. That's the best advice I can give you."

"How do you know my name?" He asked, startled that she even knew it when he didn't tell her anything.

Her smile grew bigger as mortals were always so much fun. "Oh, darling, there is a lot that you don't know about. I suggest we keep it like that before you get into even deeper trouble than you are already in."

Before he was able to say more, she disappeared into the shadows. She watched as he was angered, perhaps even lost about what she just said. It was better that he didn't know anything about what is happening. If he knew anything, he will only have questions or even try to kill her. It is whatever he thought was the best way to deal with it. Besides, dragging him into it will only dig him deeper into the huge mess that he is in.

She turned on her heels and skipped gracefully away from him, her footsteps seeming to barely even touch the ground. She only came to a stop when she appeared at a slick black Dodge Charger. She got in the driver's seat and threw the car into gear before she was off. She glanced to the passenger side and rolled her eyes at the man who was sitting there with a stern look on his face. She was not going to be going into any detail or anything whatsoever about her actions towards the mortal man in the alleyway. There wasn't even a need to justify her actions to him anyways.

The man seemed to be wearing what looked like to be a butler's outfit. His short black hair was slicked back out of his face, showing it more clearly than it would if his hair wasn't gelled. His chocolate brown eyes watched every movement, but they showed nothing. Perhaps they showed a bit of pity towards her, but she wasn't sure if that is what it was. His frame was rather lean, but she knew that he had to be muscular with how much weight he can carry without breaking a sweat. His bronze skin defined his features perfectly and she wondered why she hasn't fallen for him. Right, it was because he was her butler and he wasn't her type, not that she had one.

"Say a word and I will only cut your tongue out." She threatened as she turned down a dirt road not far from where she just was. "As much as I love you speaking to me, I forbid you to talk."

With that being said, none of them said anything once they stopped in front of a log cabin surrounded by pine trees. A barn was off to the side as well as a large area for what seemed to be for horses. They both got out of the car and she went in like it was her house. It really wasn't but she honestly didn't care. She kept the lights off as if she was going to be surprising the person who was going to be home. She clapped her hands together as she sat down on the couch and propped her feet up on the coffee table while her butler went to the kitchen to, most likely, cook dinner. She leaned her head back and let a content sigh leave her lips. As she waits for the said person to come home, she may as well take a small nap. She closed her eyes and soon the darkness of her dreams that she never has engulfs her. She can't complain though as she thought dreams were completely overrated.

Wow this is amazing! It's so we'll put together and descriptive. I got some pretty clear pictures in my head.

This is good! Unfortunately, I have homework to do, so I could only quickly skim. It for now, but I will bookmark it and take a closer look when I have less work!
