Blood on my Money [Solo]

[Aerika]

8th Day of Winter In the chaotic streets of Sunberth was a little girl dressed in white walking by herself with her small pouch-like bag across her back. Her few possessions shuffled slightly along with her now heavy bag of coins bound so tightly that there was no sound from them alone. The kelvic's bare feet slapped across the hard ground getting slightly dirty but remained smooth. One of her small hands kept a firm grasp of her small bag to ensure she wouldn't suddenly loose it in the crowd of people. Aerika was finally beginning to understand how things with humans typically worked and knew that her golden, silver, and copper coins could get her several different things ranging from a shiny toy or fresh, raw food to indulge in. Humming to herself, Aerika finally found a familiar store to the side that sold freshly caught fish and other small animal meats. The sound of the large cleaver's blades smashing into the cutting board with the smell of delicious meats salted for flavor was all found just outside the doorway. Aerika's appearance was quickly acknowledged as she entered and without speaking a word was immediately greeted by the store owner, "Welcome back young one! Would you like to usual or something new this time around?" Aerika giggled slightly as she looked at the freshest of catches and quickly recognized it as rabbit meat. Her mouth began to water as she looked back up to the man and said "Actually Marty, I think I would like to try that there, it smells wonderful." Marty smiled and said to her "Allow me to finish preparing it and it's all yours'." Aerika nodded and smiled to the familiar friend of hers and patently waited for her new food. After her food was wrapped up and handed over, Aerika opened her bag and dug out her coin purse. Aerika pulled out eight of her golden coins and said "I know you usually don't ask for much, but keep it anyways Marty." Marty looked at her and simply smiled back and said in a kind voice "Your too gracious Aerika, thank-you and I hope to get your business again tomorrow!" Marty took the coins and placed them with the rest of his in his own bag on his belt and put his hand out to shake Aerika's. Aerika took ahold of his hand and jokingly said to him "As long as you keep making good food for me you'll always get my business!" Marty busted out laughing and shook her hand violently as the little girl began to giggle back.

The small girl was back on the street trying to find a quick place to sit down so she would be able to indulge in her new rabbit meat. Aerika's head was on a swivel, looking left and right trying to find a spot to sit down and then she thought 'Why not just sit on the side of the street?' Her thoughts began to race as she started wondering why she hadn't thought of this before, was her human self beginning to change her thinking process? Trying to forget about it, she squatted down against the walls of a building and pulled her bag back out in front of her and set it beside her. She pulled the meat wrapped in cloth back out of her bag and set it in her lap and turned it over to try and find the edge to unwrap it. When she found it, she delicately began removing to cloth, smelling the fresh meat fill her nose once again. Her mouth began to water again as she took the cloth and set it to the side not taking her gaze off of the rabbit in her lap. She lifted the meat and dug her teeth into the meat starting to eat it raw, gnawing and ripping at it like a wild animal. Her mouth began to drip with blood from the fresh meat, its covered her face and even started to trickle down her neck and then to her chest. Before it touched her dress, she took her arm and started whipping away the blood so it wouldn't stain her white dress. Satisfied with her meal, Aerika wrapped her half eaten meat back in its cloth and carefully set it back into her bag that was still sitting next to her. Aerika stood back up without using her hands which gave her an awkward appearance to several people walking by. One of them had stopped while she was eating her meat and was simply starring at her, wondering how any human could have eaten that much meat raw and not even feel sick from it. The curious person was no more than a small boy that seemed to be fascinated by the strange little girl. Aerika looked straight ahead at the little boy and the two had a small starring contest until the boy finally jumper realizing that he had been starring dead at her. He looked away for a moment and then back to her and started to say "Sorry, my name is Travis. Why didn't you cook your meat? And how did you eat so much?" Aerika stared at him for another moment and simply began to strip her clothing. The small kelvic was not one for conversation unless she was interested in the person, and this small boy was nothing interesting. The boy jumped backwards and blushed a bright shade of red as the now naked girl set her bag on the ground and raised her hands into the air. With a quick stretch, Aerika's body started to glow and then suddenly shifted into her original fox body. All four paws now on the ground, she crawled under her bag and slipped it on like a normal bag. Without a thought, she ran off into the alley and then back onto the streets on the other side.

Aerika's full run slowed to nothing more than a trot and her little bag was shuffling from left to right. A few people saw the fox wearing the bag and stopped to think while others paid little to no mind. Finding a nice, shaded wall in the middle of the street, the small fox folded up and simply started falling asleep. Her mind faded to nothing and her eyes shut allowing the sun light to disappear from her vision. Several hours passed as the young kelvic finally began to wake back up noticing that the sun had disappeared all together form the sky. Her focus slowly began to return, people in the streets were less than earlier, however people were still within the streets. Aerika began to stretch her legs out and then began to glow once again, shifting back into the human form she had. Her nude body stood up in the middle of the still crowded street, people stopped to stare, either complete embarrassed or actually aroused from the little girl's appearance. She pulled her dress and loose pants from her bag and started putting them on when her coin purse fell from the bag and into the middle of the street. Without any warning, a man ran by, grabbed her, and grabbed her coin purse, ran as fast as he could and then sharply turned into the dark alley way. In the near pitch black alley way, no one ran after them, and the man threw her against the wall, starting to look into the purse to see what type of coin he just scored. Aerika looked up emotionless and started trying stand again when the man noticed and grabbed her by her throat, slamming the child's small body back against the wall. He pulled her back, slammed her as hard as he could one last time, actually cause Aerika to gain a head ache from the pain in the back of her head, and then she was tossed to the ground. The man grabbed a hold of his pants, pushing them down his legs as quickly as he could, exposing his male parts to the young girl who was again trying to stand while holding her head. He grabbed her arm and was about to slam it down when she flipped over and grabbed his arm back. She tossed his arm to the side, launched her knee into his male parts, and then used her still free arm to push his shoulder into the dirt just to the side of her. The motion took less than a couple of moments, she stood up, dusted the dirt off of her dress, and looked back at the man with hardly any emotion. She turn toward him and sent her foot directly into his side, causing him to fall over onto his back, allowing his pain to show easily as she continued to stare right into the eyes of the man she was about to kill. With one step, her foot was on his still exposed male parts, crushing them into the ground, while her next step was wider and larger. Her foot went high into the air, allowing her knee to touch her chest, and suddenly her foot slammed as hard as her leg would allow into the neck of the theft. Once she had recollected her purse from the belt of the pants still around his feet, Aerika dusted off the last of the dirt from his back and opened her purse back up. She noticed that some blood had managed to get into the bag and onto her coins. With a quick examination, she noticed that the now lifeless man was still not bleeding, but then she felt slightly dizzy and felt the warm blood from the top of her head dripping across her back and forehead. She doesn't remember when she got hit hard enough, but there was enough blood that she decided to take off her white dress to avoid any stains from reaching her precious dress. Thinking quickly, Aerika took the shirt from the man she had killed and slipped it on, thinking it would at least get her to where she needed to get to. She took a step back into the street and felt even dizzier than just a moment before, she knew that something was wrong, and she might need some help.

Wandering through the dark streets, the bleeding kelvic girl was looking for a type of doctor to help with her current condition. With no exact destination or person in mind, the small, frail girl was just walking forward at this point. The pain and dizziness getting worse by each step, the blood had completely covered her face and neck and was then getting absorbed into the shirt she had stolen from the corpse. No hope of finding anything in the path she had chosen, the girl's body started to grow cold and her vision had begun to blur. Aerika had spent several hours in the Pit before taking on a lot of damage before, but never had she gathered a wound this grand to her head. Stumbling about, the girl tripped over her own feet and started to fall when a shadowy person caught her. Before Aerika was able to see him, she passed out in his arms, going into a deep sleep that felt like the grasp of death itself.

9th Day of Spring Whenever Aerika finally awoke once more, it was the next day, and the sunlight was shimmering in through the window on the wall to her left. She began to wonder how she had arrived in the bed that she was now sitting in, and with a quick observation, the little girl noticed several other beds, some of which had other people lying in them. Aerika leaned against the wall and simply looked around, trying to make sense, how could she have ended up in such a place as this? Thinking things over, she grabbed hold of her shirt, noticing that it was the shirt of the man that she had killed, and then she remembered, she passed out the night before. Looking back to her left, the beam of light now coming from behind her was glimmering directly onto her bag. She picked it up, looked inside, found her dress and coin purse, along with her half-a-hunk of meat in it as well. Aerika grabbed her head, feeling a cloth wrapped around her head, so as a curious fox would, she began to unravel it, revealing that the entire cloth had turned red, however her head did not appear to be bleeding any further. The pain that once took her body was gone as well as the intense dizziness from the night before. Without a thought in her head, Aerika jumped onto the floor and started for the only way out. As her bare feet slapped across the neatly tiled floor, another woman appeared in the doorway and gave a large gasp. "You should not be out of bed little dearest!" the woman shouted, allowing her walk to turn into a gallop. The woman took her arms to grab Aerika's shoulders and walk her back to her bed. The kelvic looked at the woman and simply began to blink, not much liking the idea of being lead back to the place she was just leaving. Her bag was taken and placed back on the ground while she was picked up and set on the bed, the woman looked at her and smiled with her eyes closing. "Please wait here, the doctor will be back in a moment to check on you again." Aerika sat in her assigned location for reasons not even she could figure. Eventually the same feet from the woman before could be easily heard as well as the foot steps of another individual. When the two appeared in the door, Aerika was surprised to find the other foot steps belonged to a woman, and she was even taller than the last. This tall woman approached her and introduced herself "I am Doctor Armagail, I am glad to see you are awake, you may stay here until your parents come for you and if you do not mind, I would like to check you head again." Her voice was demeaning, she talked to her as though Aerika had no form of intelligence. The small, now angry girl wanted so much to simply kill them and leave, but if she did, would she be killing her savior? Aerika instead sat there with her eyes showing much disapproval, as the woman than began to touch the top of her head, start small bursts of pain with certain touches.

"Well everything seems alright," the tall doctor said to Aerika, her voice still sounding as though the kelvic could not understand. "You're going to have some bruising for a while which will cause some pain by the touch. If you have no questions, you're free to go." Aerika simply looked at the doctor with complete distaste and started walking back out the door she had just tried to leave out of earlier. Fearful that they may try to stop her once more, Aerika rushed out the door and took the nearest turn she could, attempting to get away from the building as quickly as possible. Finding a place to stop, Aerika sat back down, noticing that her hair had some red still in it, stained from earlier, and would need to be washed out. Feeling safe, the kelvic pulled her meat back out from her bag and unwrapped it once more to sink her teeth into it yet again. The meat was colder this time, but still was meat, so she continued to eat it as she had the day she bought it. Small amounts of blood dripped from her mouth and so she had to wipe it away with one of her arms. Enjoying the peacefulness of the moment, Aerika finished her meat, put away the cloth, and started walking down the streets, trying to find some kind of job to get some small amount of money once again. :::::End of Thread:::::
