Thread: Freak Chance [ AnonymousRelated x Nika ]

For a person who had no real life, for someone who had to hide in the shadows and live in fear of being exposed for who they were, the night was home. The green hued skin, and black as night eyed man that walked with a hood covering most of his face didn't even think of his own safety. All he thought about was finding something to eat, and a place to sleep where he wouldn't be disturbed. The name he'd given himself, 'Freak' was highly appropriate for who and what he was. Freak had never gotten a positive reaction with his looks and wasn't expecting to start now. The weather was slowly turning dreary and he could smell rain in the air. He also could feel a surge of electricity in the air, which for him lead him to the conclusion that there was going to be something bad happening tonight. Freak was walking the opposite direction that Alix was, and fortunately enough for her, he spotted her before she did him. Freak noticed that she was busy looking over her shoulder, and watching the people who followed her. It was three men, Freak's eyes mutated so that he could see thermal signatures. What he could see was a thin girl, wearing clothes to try and hide her physique. And the men behind her had guns. Freak was going to turn the opposite direction and walk away, but he noticed her cut down an alley. One he knew was a dead end, and he figured that she was trying to just avoid the men and wasn't really focusing on where she was going. The destination didn't matter as long as she was away from them, he was sure. She was still a ways in front of him, and so by the time Freak got near to the alley he could hear the men's cackling laughter. Peaking around the corner Freak looked to the scene before him, his eyes still on thermal. He could see that she was scared, due to the amount of heat coming off of her body. And the men were aroused, clearly they already had plans in mind for her. Freak knew to not involve himself in matters that didn't include him. As such, he pushed off the corner and walked away from the alley, but her scream stopped him in his tracks. Turning around Freak walked to the alley and was about to call out to the men, but instead he kicked a can which alerted the men to his presence. Clearly the men were thugs, trained thugs but thugs none the less. Because the man standing at the back of the group spun around and spotted Freak. He couldn't see any of the features of Freak since it was dark out, but nevertheless the man responded with violence. Freak would have moved out of the way, but the man's responsiveness and quick to act mindset led him to shoot first and ask questions later. The bullet he fired spun out the barrel, and lodged itself directly into Freak's forehead. The back of his hood ruptured as the bullet flew out the other side of his skull. Freak toppled over onto his back, his hands sprawling out behind him. The thugs panicked and tried to decide on what to do, but knowing that the gunshot would attract attention, they decided to split. As they ran passed Freak one of the men noticed that his face was very strange and that only made them run faster. After the men had cleared the scene, and Freak could tell that the girl at the end of the alley was still sitting there in shock, he sat up. Freak rubbed his face as the bullet hole began closing up. Pulling his hood up over his face, Freak stood to his weak knees and stumbled out the alley back the way he had come from.
