Thread: Bound By Blood (Yuna & Emperor_Nero's 1x1)

Nina Thompson As soon as the time reached five in the morning, Nina's eyes shot open. She'd always had a pretty damn good internal alarm clock and today was no exception. As she sat up, Nina realized she'd fallen asleep in her clothes .. again. It was a habit she tended to repeat frequently. Ah well. It wasn't the worst thing she could do over and over again she figured. The tank top, bra, underwear, and jeans were all removed off her body and tossed into a hamper. A few steps later, Nina found herself in front of her dresser drawer. Her hands reached in and grabbed a new outfit consisting of a skirt, tube top, and panties. The top would basically be both that and a bra so she didn't bother with the real thing. Keeping the clothes held against her chest, Nina then walked out of her room and entered a nearby bathroom. The clothes were all set down on the unused sink as the huntress got a fresh towel hung up on the rack. Her eyes looked around, making sure everything she needed was in place and nothing was missing. After double checking a few times, Nina nodded and turned the water on, getting it to a lukewarm temperature that favored the more hotter feeling before stepping in. Even during the shower, the feeling of eyes being upon Nina continued to pester her. ... Don't be fucking stupid. The only people who are even somewhat close to you are those in the rebellion. They wouldn't be doing anything overly stupid. Despite her trying to reassure herself, the feeling still lingered. Nina's head shook from side to side as she took a long, deep breath, trying to calm herself. After ten more minutes in the shower, she finished washing her body and hair. The last article of clothing had gone over her body when the doorbell rang. She darted quickly to the front door, not bothering to grab any socks or shoes for now. Sure enough, Luke was waiting outside. As the sight of a still slightly wet Nina came into view, he snapped his fingers. Damnit, I keep missing those moments. he teased, referring to the fact Nina had just left the shower. The comment made Nina roll her eyes as she took the boxes from his hands. Hmph. Keep dreaming, sweetie. Lemme go grab your payment real fast. Before that, though, she first set the two containers down on a shelf nearby, causing the bullets to lightly clink against one another. No more than a minute passed before Nina returned with a Benjamin in her hands. Soon, the exchange was made as Luke got paid for his delivery. His head bowed politely to Nina before he turned and left, going back into his car and driving away. Nina, on the other hand, closed and locked her door then went into her room with the ammunition. There wasn't much but Luke had put a bit of tape over the top of the boxes to make sure none of the bullets fell out. Not like Nina didn't have a solution for that. Moving to the drawer with her lingerie, she moved a few bras and sets of panties aside to reveal a switchblade and three pistols. Taking all the weapons with her, she set all but the small blade down, which remained in her right hand. Flipping the knife open, she cut the boxes open before hiding the blade back into it's sheath. After another brief glance around her room, Nina began loading each pistol one at a time. That nagging sensation of not being alone still teased her, making a frown cross her face. The feeling of the silver bullets and seeing all the firearms nearby made her feel all the more safer and better on her decision to have gotten these. If she truly had been followed .. well .. she would be ready, at least.
