Leah
Shit shit shit

*There she went again running from people she'd pissed off in a building she didn't know*

Why do I never listen? Why do I constantly run off on my own?

*She muttered to herself as she looked back hearing the two men behind her. Running into a room she slammed the door out of breath not realizing someone else was already in there*
Shane
*He walked out into the office, removing a pair of blood stained gloves from his hands. Not too long ago he finished a "Clients" Appointment for them, of course now all there was left to do was shipping. Hopefully this shipment wouldn't be as bad as the last one went, in his defense, the guy was an idiot. The office was cold, near freezing temperatures. It was decorated with perfect life-like statues of multiple species of animal and human. It always felt as if a couple were watching, but at some point you get used to it.* 

"Fucking christ.." *He grumbled under his breath, he was certainly agitated just from his tone. It was silent enough to hear a pin drop, so when the door suddenly slammed he quickly turned his head in the direction of the sound. His eyes narrowed as he spotted Sunny,* "You mind stating your business?"
Leah
*She looked up frightened stumbling over her words as she stood back to the door*

I'm so so sorry! I didn't realize anybody was in here. I was just running and opened the first unlocked door I found. I'm so so so sorry to disturb you sir!

*Profusely apologizing she pushed her hair out of her face as she looked at the taller, larger man*
Shane
*He raised an eyebrow upon hearing how quickly the stranger apologized. Luis raised his hands up a bit sort of signaling for her to 'calm down.'* "Theres no need to apologize so profusely, its just a *Simple* Mistake after all." *He said as he walked over to the door behind Sunny, fully closing it. He locked it too but it was a very subtle movement. As he walked past Sunny the horrid stench of fresh and rotten blood mixed together had filled the room. For hells sake he was still wearing the blood-stained apron.*
Leah
*She stared at the man as he walked by and closed the door fully gagging slightly as a horrid smell of something she couldn't place filled her nostrils* 

What is that putrid smell? And again I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you. . My curiosity just gets the better of me and I don't listen when people say no

*She shifted on her feet and looked at the man her eyes observing his figure and. . . Bloody apron?*
Shane
*Upon hearing her question he pursed his lips together. Luis tilted his head to the side for a bit as he thought of an answer, might as well be blunt. The doors locked anyways.* "Blood. If you don't listen to people who say no, you'll get yourself killed. But I'm sure you've heard that a million times no?" *His voice was smooth sultry tone as he spoke. Luis walked back to his desk,* "Why don't you *Take a seat.* You must be tired simply standing there."
Leah
*She looked at him with confusion and fear in her eyes and in her body language*

"Blood? Excuse me? No I won't sit down, who are you and why do I smell blood?

*She reached backwards to twist the doorknob only to find it locked*

What do you want? Why is the door locked
Shane
"So many questions.." *He sighed as he sat down at the desk himself. He clasped his hands together and leaned forward a bit,* "I just want to find out a *Few* Things. You will be fine." *He lit a candle-light and the room brightened, the life-like statues (results of his taxidermy or experiments) would shimmer in the light. Their sad, pained faces were much clearer now.* "I'm not going to hurt you if thats what you fear, at least not yet."
Leah
*She looked around gasping at the taxidermy*

What do you want to know? 

*She looked at the floor hand still on the doorknob*

I'm not here to steal if that's what you think. .
Shane
*He raised an eyebrow as he stood up from the desk now,* "Why are you trying to leave so quickly? Its just a few questions. You broke in here after all, in fact I could've done much worse to you by now so I would suggest you listen before my kindness *Runs out.*"
Leah
*She let go of the door handle and looked at the man*

I'm sorry, you just scare me.

*She shifted on her feet and looked at her hands*

What do you want to know? I'll tell of most things.
Shane
"Oh I don't bite trust me darling" *He murmured as he picked up the candlelight and held it closer to girl. Mostly in an attempt to see her better,* "May I have a name at least?"
Leah
*She looked up as the candlelight flickered*

Sundeep. Most call me Sunny or Sunshine however. My full name isn't used often

*Shivering she rubbed her arms as she glanced back at the door*

May I ask yours kind, none threatening sir?
Shane
*He smugly smiled as he nodded his head down in acknowledgment,* "Dr. Martínez." *He passed her the candle,* "Have this, I can see you're freezing."
Leah
*Grasping the candle she looked at him confused and mortified*

Doctor? I'm so sorry! I had no idea

*She flustered again and covered her face with one hand*
Shane
*He chuckled softly and shook his head,* "Oh theres no need to worry sunny. It's quite alright." *He patted her shoulder reassuringly, although, it wasn't in a very friendly manner. It was rather passive aggressive, but the smile on his face. It seemed to genuine to be simply a false... Or was it. Luis in general vibrated a mixture of auras.*
Leah
*She pulled away from his hand slightly as it seemed quite passive aggressive. Staring up at the taller man she returned a small smile*

"I'm still apologetic. I feel so bad I just, barged in. Umm.. Did you have more questions? You said you had a few.
Shane
"I do. How good is your.. Pain tolerance? You see I'm a doctor so I sort of need to know these things" *He inquired, putting both hands behind his back. As he leaned forward, lowering himself to Sundeep's eye level.*
Leah
*Backing up slightly her back hit the door*

Uhh, I mean I've trained with assassins and warlocks and such so on a scale from one to ten it's probably a six?

*She held the candle a little closer to herself as she met his eyes as he lowered himself to meet hers*
Shane
*He nodded, taking into note,* "Anddd you're human I suppose? Or a fairy perchance?"
Leah
*She nodded*

I am a human. I live with non-humans however. They spar and train with me
Shane
*He lifted her free arm up before dropping it. He returned to his upright posture as he put a hand on his hip. Shifting his weight onto it, ~~zesty looking fuck /j~~* "Well.. A normal human? Or do you have abilities."
Leah
*She looked at her arm feeling his hand on it even after he let go*

Um, magic wise I have none. However I train with weapons and agility. Ironically I'm armed currently
Shane
*He laughed at this,* "And so am I." *Under his breath he muttered, 'hmm.. I already have a human in my collection fuck.' He simply opened his arms,* "Well, how do you feel about donating an *Organ or two.* For charity. Perhaps an appointment?"
Leah
*She looked up at him nearly dropping the candle*

Excuse me are you insane? Who the hell are you to go around asking for random peoples organs after they just ran from others and admitted you scare them? 

*She raised her voice slightly her free hand twitching towards her boot and dagger*
Shane
"Stabbing me with your dagger will do nothing." *He grinned slightly,* "Don't drop the candle. You'll be screwed over, but besides, you'll be fine. Besides its just a simple question."
Leah
*She stared at him*

How'd you know I wield a dagger? And was going for it? 

*She glanced around the room looking for an out noticing no windows or other doors. Shit*

How will I be screwed if I drop the candle?
Shane
"My ability mostly revolves around metal. At this point I can smell it, it has a very peculiar smell to it too." *He said as he smiled fully now, his canines shining in the dim light.*
Mildred
Im in class rn so its a shitty response]]
Leah
*She looked up the man as she breathed in slowly trying to steady her hands*

So why must I be here then? Why I just go, why do you need to know everything you have asked please just let me leave

*She begged while looking back to the door and down by her boot her hands shaking slightly*

If you've an ounce of humanity in you. Let. Me. Go
Shane
*He sneered a bit at her request,* "Oh you sweet lamb.. That's all gone." *Luis murmured softly as his grip on her shoulder tightened,* "Besides, its just a few pain tolerance tests.. It won't hurt! Too much."
Mildred
Feel free to hit him or whatever lmao yk just no fatal stuff ]]
Leah
*Dropping to the ground she grabbed her dagger slashing at him ankles accidentally dropping the candle in the process however the flame went out*

Like hell I'll play along with that you bastard
Mildred
HI SORRY IVE HAD LIKE HOMEWORK AND I FELL ASLEEP AT LIKE 3 PM AND WOKE U AT 1 AND BEEN DOING HW 😭 ]]

Let me finish these notes and ill get you a response soon ]]

SORRY I LITERALLY FORGOT OMG ]]
Shane
*He stood there calmly as he peered over to see his boots which had been slashed open.* "Thats quite a sharp knife to cut leather that easily.. But you really should be more careful playing with knifes. Let me take it no?"
Leah
*Backing away further into the office now out of his grasp she glared at him*

No. Let me out. It's sharp for a reason, don't make me cut flesh
Shane
*He tilted his head to the left slightly, a crude grin still plastered over his face. His lips curled as he spoke,* "Oh sunny dear, that knife will do nothing to me."
Leah
*She glanced at the knife and back up as she stood in the middle of the office near the desk*

I can make it do something Dr Martinez
Let. Me. Go
Shane
"Prove yourself, or simply give me one good reason to let you go. You were the one who broke into here after all. Maybe you should've double checked *Where you were running.*" *He said as he stood a step towards her.*
Leah
*She backed up a step backing into the desk*

Accidents happen. Its human to make mistakes. I said I'm sorry for barging in. Please just let me out

*A bead of sweat ran down her face as she looked around the room again looking for a way out*
Shane
"Ohh but you see it's also human to die. Is it not? Circle of life." *He said as he placed a hand on her shoulder, leaning down to her eye level*
Leah
*Lashing out again with her knife she aimed for his stomach*

I'm not planning on dying at seventeen
Shane
*He gently re-directed the knife to hit his arm rather than stomach, immediately he used this as a chance to restrain her arms behind her back* "You're not dying. But you're certainly going to learn the *Consequences* Of your actions Sundeep." *He hissed*
Leah
*She struggled to free her arm as she glared at the man*

I don't need consequences for a mistake Dr Martinez 

*She leaned back and winced in pain from her arm*
Shane
"Ohhh but this mistake is gonna cost you. You my child have already seen *Too* Much." *His grip on her shoulder tightened,* "Unless of course... You'd like to come to an agreement on terms of *Money.*"
Leah
*She looked up at the man wincing as his grip tightened*

I don't have money, I'm a seventeen year old with a bakery. What do you expect I'm rich?

*She sassed back to the taller man as she looked at the door contemplating screaming for help*
Shane
"Then *Find* A way. Or simply give me an organ. Maybe some bone marrow, thats a solid 3-4 thousands dollars. Maybe it would've been better if you'd face your actions while being chased but no you hid now didn't you. Now you experience the consequences."
Leah
*She looked at the man with shock on her face*

And here I thought doctors were nice

*She snickered and shifted wincing as her arm was still firmly pinned*

I have no desire to give these things to you. If you want them you'll just have to take them by force
Shane
"I'm a taxidermist. Not a doctor, I illegally experiment on humans as well... Force? Well alright then" *Immediately he picked up Sundeep and began to carry her like a duffel bag, under his arm.* "You asked for it!"
Leah
*She gasped as she was picked up struggling to be dropped*

I told! Not asked. There's a big difference sir!

*She jabbed at his arm as she continued to squirm*
Shane
*He raised an eyebrow at her struggle,* "Oh please calm yourself. It's just a test or two. Who knows you might even get *Powers*" *He teased as he walked through a door with Sundeep still under his arm*
Leah
*Scoffing she crossed her arms and stilled* "I highly doubt I'll recieve powers. Seems unlikely". *She rolled her eyes as her head started to pound*
Shane
"Hmnnn... The power to surpress torture maybe!" *He said as he placed her down on a chair, surprisingly enough the room that they entered wasn't as threatening as expected. It had quite a warm feel to it, a plant or two was on the wall. Unfortunately, right next to her was a whole perfectly organized variety of surgical tools.* "We'll simply play a game. If I win then you pay me or I conduct my little experiments! If you win, then you go scot free and I won't ever bother you again."
Leah
*She rubbed her temples as her head continued pounding* Alright, you win. I'll play, whats this game?
Shane
"Simple, you ever heard of the knife game?" *He brought out a chefs knife and a butchers knife. Both equally large.* "You spread your hand out simply stab all the spaces in order, starting from behind the thumb to after the little finger, and back again"
Mildred
Search up the knife game to see how its played ]]

Its not graphic its p easy just in this case its whoevers finger gets cut off first ]]
Leah
So whoever doesnt get their finger cut off wins? *She chuckled* Knives are my specialty sir. You chose the wrong game
Shane
"Oh believe me I can best you." *He said as he grabbed the chefs knife* "You go first."
Leah
*She set her hand on the small table and spread her fingers* Try me
Shane
*He raised an eyebrow,* "Well.. You go first."
Leah
*Rolling her eyes she grabbed a knife and started the game counting and muttering something under her breath*

You're kind of a jerk you know that?

*She finished and placed the knife on the table*
Shane
"I get that all of the time." *He does it himself as well a bit faster.* "Do it again. But in a faster pace."
Leah
*She did it again faster whilst humming a tune*

So remind me why I'm doing this?
Shane
"To get out, I found this would be something your speed. Of course I could've created the game to be more in my favor, so if this is simply too easy then we can always change." *He said as he increased the speed of his arm*
Leah
*She winced as her finger was nicked*

Ouch
I suppose a small nick is better than losing though. 

*She increased her speed and looked up at the man*
Shane
*He raised an eyebrow at this, his speed quickening even more. Everytime he was dangerously close to cutting off a finger* "Oh but you might."
Leah
*She watched with fear in her eyes*

So if you cut my finger off then I win?
Shane
*He stopped for a second,* "No its if I cut my finger off, but if you want I can chase you around and if you manage to outrun me then you can escape. But that's a bit unfari no?"
Leah
*She shrugged and watched*

It'd be more fun than this. Atleast then I'd get to actually use when I'm good at
Shane
"Yeah exactly you see what I mean by *Unfair?* I can only be so fast."
Leah
*She snickered and stood up stretching*

So what's the chance I could just

*She started walking towards the door*

Leave?
Shane
*He raised an eyebrow once more,* "Darling the doors locked and the key is shoved in my back pocket. Unless you're somehow strong enough to kick down a metal door otherwise I highly doubt your chance of escape. But sure go ahead try, it'll be entertaining to say the least."
Leah
*She stopped glaring at the man*

I could just steal it from you.

*She walked back towards the man looking to his back pocket*

So do you want to hand it over or shall I take it?
Shane
*In his hand he still held the butcher knife,* "Sure! Go ahead."
Leah
*She sucked in a breath through her teeth*

You're the most annoying man ever!

*She went to the door taking a pin out of her messy hair and breaking it*

Damn knife and hiding the fricking key-
Mildred
Did she lock pick it or actually break the door down bc the door is pure metal- 😭 ]]

Wordings a bit funny so ]]

So did she attempt it or actually do it ]]
Shoshana
Just checking in making sure you're okay
Shane
*He raised an eyebrow upon her attempts to break through the door,* "Aren't you a boring one." *He huffed under his breath as he walked to the door and simply opened it* "There."
Leah
What, would you have preferred I try and take the key and let you grab and torture me?

*She thought about it and went to the desk grabbing a pen and writing on her arm*

Nevermind on that.
Mildred
Hi sorry ive been busy w hw just gimme a moment lol ]]
Shane
*He thought for a solid minute before shrugging his shoulders and nodding her head,* "Yeah pretty much actually, I mean I certainly expected a fight but I did hope for an experiment. But no offense you horribly annoy me."
Leah
*She shrugged and went back to the door closing it*

You are annoyed by me. Not a first. But honestly now I'm intrigued. What would an experiment even be?

*She sat down of the floor toying with the hem of her shirt snickering*
Shane
*He scoffed and threw his hands in the air,* "You're horribly childish you wanted out but now you stay jeez" 

*He rubbed his fingers against temple before crossing his arms,* "Experiment means I horribly mutilate you to the point of un recognition, or I just take an organ or two out. It really depends how I feel."
Leah
*She snickered on the ground*

I'm a menace child. I was raised by an assassin. What do you think that does to a kid.

*She looked up at the man*

And in all honesty I've had worse things done to me than mutilation or having an organ or two removed.
Shane
"You? Raised by an assassin? I find that horribly hard to believe, and please do list whats so horribly done to you more than having your whole body rearranged and put together by stitches while conscious."
Leah
*She stood and stretched looking over at the man before doing a handstand*

Aerith raised me after I was mugged. That's how I know how to pick a lock and fight.

*She shifted a bit regaining balance as the blood rushed to her head*

And what's happened to me are things I swore to never speak aloud again
Shane
"Really? I find it hard to be *That* Bad." *He said skeptically as he watched the girl handstand, he leaned against the wall. His arms still crossed.*
Leah
*She rolled out of the handstand into a sitting position and shrugged*

I don't really care what you believe. Still my experiences that for me were horrible. Might not be of significance to you but they altered my life
Shane
"In full honesty that sounds horribly pathetic, but you believe what you believe in then lad. Now you want out or you want to be experimented on, I don't stay for conversation. Usually people stay for business inquiries or if they want to die"
Leah
*She shrugged again looking up at the man*

Whatever you want. I don't really care. I can leave or I can stay. I don't intend to be mutilated

*She looked at the writing on her arm*

But I also don't mind talking to you. You're funny plus pretty
Shane
"Again, your choice. I appreciate the flattery but if you choose to stay it will not save you. You are the one who broke into here after all. Tresspassing private property." *He said cautiously, narrowing his eyes at her.*
Leah
Trespassing is harsh don't you think? I simply accidently fell through through door into your little office.

*She looked down at her hands grasping then tightly*

I'm still terrified but hey it's better than going back out there and facing those two men. I don't particularly want to be facing murder charges
