				<span style="font-size: 10pt;" class="bbc_size">Riana Monroe was becoming real tired of the enemies’ obvious routine. No matter how many demons she hacked down with her weaponry, more of the bastards seem to follow. She tried to tally her kills, but realized she lost count. Somewhere in the mid-eighties, she speculated. The enemy had first ambushed her outside the tavern she had been exiting.&nbsp; Riana smiled; that had been a good fight. There had been more then twenty of them waiting for her, none of the group had been anything special. Riana had breezed through the group with ease, after that she had tried to take her leave, but more them had shown up.<br><br>Normally Riana would have been more amused by such tactics, but at the present she was in a foul mood. She turned around look across the abandon rooftop, catching sigh of one of the new arrivals. The beast growled, moving side to side upon the diamond shape window it was perched upon. Every instinct in Riana’s body told it would attack at any moment. Unlike the other demons who were attacking her in packs, the monster before her was in a league of it’s own. She kicked off the wall, slicing through two more of the low-leveled fiends. Riana didn’t take the time to watch the pair die, instead she focused on the demon latched onto the building next door. <br><br>She didn’t really feel like jumping over to the next building, so Riana pulled out her gun, and shot down the bastard instead. She turned around looking at the demon still perched on roof top window. Your turn Buddy boy… Riana smiled; her head tilted back as she looked lazily at her final opponent. The demon stared directly at her; it’s jaws foaming at the mouth. Riana was certain the little devil wanted nothing more, then to rip his rapid fang directly into her flesh. She wasn’t worried, the demon jumped down from the window it had been perched upon. It remained stationed in the spot it had landed in, twisting its head side to side. <br><br>Riana pulled out her second pistol, holding the two guns loosely at her sides. Bring it on garbage breath… The demons head shot up, looking at Riana almost as if it had read her mind. Immediately it began charging towards her position. Following her own demonic instincts, Riana pivoted backwards using the momentum of her flips, to place distance between her, and demon. Rearing up the pistols in her hands, Riana pulled the trigger, and began sending out rounds of bullets. The demon dodged the gunfire with relative ease, Riana wasn’t surprise she hadn’t put to much accuracy in her shots. Sliding her body into a brake, Riana came to a complete stop before the demon. She stared at the smug fiend, the arrogant devil face full of murderous delight. <br><br>Riana frowned. Don’t get too cocky demon… <br><br>She closed the space between them, ramming her fist into the overconfident vermin’s face. The demon flew back, but slowed it’s land by digging it’s claws into the roofs cements. Just as quickly as Riana had sent the filthy beast flying, the demon canceled the space between once more. Taking swipes at her person. She dodged the fiend’s first couple of attacks, but the last connected the surface. Riana hissed, taking a step back. She really didn’t want to call upon her power, but she knew that she had to end this battle now. <br><br>She looked around, searching for anything that could give her upper hand. Her desire were answer, as Riana gaze fell upon the diamond shape window the demon had perched itself on earlier on. She smiled inwardly, bringing herself back up to full height. We end this now… Riana charged towards the demon, preparing herself for its counter attack, as she slid underneath demon. The fiend whirled around looking for Riana’s whereabouts. Confusion crossed over its face, as the fatal female disappeared into thin air. The demon jerked around searching the surrounding area for any movement. <br><br>Whistle! The fiend turned around looking at the newly resurface demonic female. “Hey demon!” Riana smiled. “Let’s you and I finish this.” The demon raced across the rooftop, jumping on top of the window. It didn’t waste time with pleasantries such as provoking Riana, or manipulation into attacking. The smug vermin darted across the glass, heading toward it’s prey. Riana stood there timing her movements just right, rotating over the demon just as it was about to attack. She turned pulling out her gun just as the demon whirled back around to face her. Riana smiled, her pistol now pointing directly into the vermin’s mouth. “Die you son of a bitch.” She pulled the trigger, riddling the demon with hole. The last sound the vermin made before it died was an agonizing sound of pain. <br><br>Riana looked down at the deceased corpse, her hand reached behind her back deposit her pistol back into it holster.&nbsp; Like any other demon she had killed, the fiend lifeless carcass faded away after a short period time had passed. Riana looked down at the empty place, she didn’t know whether she was relieved, or disappointed the fight was over. <br><br>She tuned away from the scene figuring it was about time she head back to head quarters. Riana walked across the rooftop readying herself for the fall between the buildings. Although the fight was over Riana wondered why the upper level demons had sent so many of their minions to keep her busy?&nbsp; She jumped down from the ledge of the building, landing in the alleyway. <br><br>Normally when Riana patrolled the streets of the city, she came across maybe ten, fifteen demons max, and they were usually nothing but small fry. So why send so many to distract her now? Riana began chewing on the tip of her thumbnail. The alley was completely deserted now, that all the fiends were dead. She pressed on, walking through the garbage filled passageway, trying to come to a plausible conclusion. Riana had new been a real thinker, more of a child of instinct like the demon that dwelled inside her.&nbsp; She was about to give coming up with any type of decent conclusion, when a thought dawned on her. <br><br>Where the demons after someone else other then me? She stopped in her tracks searching the surround areas for any type of covert activity. Riana felt like a complete idiot, as her demon eyes caught sight of an underling leering over group of unassuming humans. <br><br>Shit! Why else would the demons be keeping her busy? So Riana wouldn’t have become suspicious, and discover them trying to pick off someone in that group…<br><br>She kicked off the walls, landing onto another roof, praying that she wouldn’t be to late to save who ever they were after. </span>

				Tim looked up into the sky above him and sighed at the sight. Earlier in the morning it had been a beautiful shade of blue and without a cloud to be seen in the sky before he headed in to work. From that point on his day had gotten progressively worse where he, as a Technician, his mood had worsen because of the idiots that constantly called in about simple problems that he could have fixed with his eyes closed, like the plugs put in the wrong colored ports or even worse, not having whatever they were complaining about plugged into an open outlet. The day had been just one big headache and he was glad to have gotten out of there, but now as he looked up at the sky he saw that it too was beginning to darken, but not because of the sun leaving the sky, but the fact that storm clouds was starting to roll in and hide the sky. He could already feel that it was going to be a thunderstorm before the first streak of lighting could be seen.<br><br>He sighed once more to himself as he walked on and followed the crowd that went in the same direction as he was, regretting that he didn't listen to the forecast this morning as he thought the day too beautiful to rain. Well now he was seeing that he was wrong as the clouds above slowly began to release the rain in a soft drizzle at first as lightning soon streaked the sky while thunder boomed both near and far. The crowd picked up the pace and moved along, dispersing a bit as everyone tried to get out of the rain but Tim knew that it would take him at least twenty minutes to get home and by then he would be soaked to the bone unless he hailed a cab, which he tried right then. Moving to the edge of the sidewalk, he began to wave for a taxi as something moved in his peripheral vision. He didn't think much of it as one of the yellow cabs finally pulled over when something barreled into the side of him and knocked him over.<br><br>"What the hell?" were the first words out of his mouth as he landed on his back, a slight sting in his side, as he looked into the last thing he expected to seeing laying on top of him with a murderous grin. The thing was humanoid in shape, but that was the only thing human about it as its skin was a mix of scales and brown fur while the head was roughly that of a canine and snake forced together. The thing attempted to bite into his throat but he kept the muzzle away with his hands, struggling to keep its sharp teeth from biting into his flesh as it tried to pull his hands away with his own. Screams could be heard all around him while cars peeled away, leaving Tim without the chance of anyone helping, making him realize that this was going to be a life or death struggle.<br><br>Grunting slightly, Tim did what he probably wouldn't do and let the thing's muzzle go but at the same time he brought his head up and slammed it into the muzzle to hit it as hard as he could with his forehead. The minor attack seemed to have worked as it whimpered as soon as his head hit it and it backed off and away from him a few steps to allow Tim to get up and attempt to flee, only to be brought back down by another beast that had been waiting for him. Tim cursed again and looked around him and his face paled when he saw that he was actually surround by at least a dozen of the things. One Tim might have been able to handle, but seeing how many there was around him, he silently began to pray, already giving up fighting as he figured that soon he would be dead by these unholy creatures.

				<span style="font-size: 10pt;" class="bbc_size">The trek to the building had been a short one. Riana had reloaded her guns along the way, preparing herself for the coming fight.&nbsp; The demon she had sensed moments before, was no run of the mill fiend.&nbsp; Normally Riana would have called for back up, during these type circumstances, but this time around there was no time. She had to go at this alone. The demon was gone, by the time she had arrived. Riana was not surprise she had not made it in time, the monster’s ambush had taken her awhile to get around. She looked around the surrounding area, using perception to sense the demon.&nbsp; The residue the beast had left behind would go a long way if the demon had gone far.&nbsp; <br><br>Car’s freely past on the intersection, that was station on the other side of the building. Riana was certain that the demon would not have made its escape in that direction. The fifthly beast were not the type to risk detection.&nbsp; She continues her search, surveying the back regions of the empty alleyways.&nbsp; The tattoo on the smalls of her back began to flair to life uncomfortably. Riana smiled, the demon had not gone to far after all. She leaned the edge of the building, following where the intensity of her tattoo blazed the most.&nbsp; The beast she had been searching for was below; surrounding it’s disfigured person around an innocent male. Riana drew in a deep breath, grateful that she had made it in time. <br><br>She jumped off the roof, landing gracefully on the concrete exterior of the city street. Her boots clicked across the surface, as she stepped closer to the scene. The male the demon had trapped was doing his best to fight the monster off, but with his inferior strength. His attempts were proving futile; the monster bared its teeth aiming to pounce in for another attack.&nbsp; Another demon join in as well preparing to back up its comrade. Riana frowned; she had had enough of this disgusting scene. She lifted her weapon, sending out a distribution of bullets. The demons jerked around. “Not to be rude, or anything. But I don’t think the guy is looking for two new drinking buddies. ” The beast snarled, clearly insult by Riana comment. <br><br>“Then again I could be wrong.” She motion towards male, the disgusted look on his face saying it all. The monster started to shake, it anger growing with each offensive word she threw at it. Riana knew it was only a matter of time, before the rage it was feeling got the better of the demon, and left the girls side.&nbsp; She only had to poke in the right directions. “What are you doing here Symbionet?” Riana smirked, certain that that was not question the demon really wanted to ask. She walked forward leisurely. “Don’t you mean to ask…why aren’t I dead yet?” <br><br>The demon growled; it was clear he now understood the status of his underling’s. “Don’t worry I gave them all a beautiful burial. “ She lied, certain that the demon was close to its breaking point. “I think the best part. Is when they screamed your name, as they died.” The beast roared, baring its fangs, and claws. It charged immediately towards Riana, leaving the apprehensive male it had tried to have for dinner standing on the sidelines.&nbsp; The femme fatale licked her lips, the demonic presences inside her thrilling at the chance to exercise its talents. The demons reached out, trying to use its muscle to bring her into his grasp.&nbsp; <br><br>Riana dodged, using the fiends own strength to propel herself over its head. She pulled her guns out, firing repeated at the back of the monster’s head. When she landed back on the ground, she whirled around looking at the guy standing behind her.&nbsp; “Do us both a favor, and hide.” She began, reloading her weapon as she spoke. Having the guy getting himself killed, before Riana had the chance to save his life, would really defeat the purpose. “Go! Get yourself somewhere safe.” Beside, wherever the male hid, it would not matter anyway.&nbsp; Once the she was done with the idiots in front of her. You could better believe Riana was going to demand some answer from the guy behind her. </span><br>

				Although he might have accepted that he was about to die to the demon, Tim wasn't going to make it easy as he struggled to keep the demon's jaws from reaching his neck, but it was becoming obvious that soon he would be overpowered and dead. His arms finally gave and he braced himself to feel the sharp teeth sink into his neck but the pain never came. Instead he felt the demon move off of him as the distinct sound of gunfire could be heard, forcing the two demons near him away. Looking over to see who his savior was and was slightly shocked to see that it was a women who thought she could rescue him. He was stunned in silence actually as he listened to her taunting the demon, goading it into attacking her and leaving him alone. Why was this women risking her life to save him? He didn't even recognize her and as he stood up he watched her vault over the demon.<br><br><strong>“Go! Get yourself somewhere safe.”</strong><br><br>He looked up at the women for a moment as she reloaded her pistols and his gaze kept going back and forth between her and the demons. Common sense and sanity told him that he should listen to the women with weapons and run off some place safe as she ordered, but then part of him demanded that he stay and help her in anyways he could. She was risking her life to save him and he had to assist her in anyway that he could even if he could do nothing more than act as bait to draw their attention away so that she could kill them. Standing up, he dusted himself off a little before looking the woman straight in the eye. "No." he stated simply. "I'm not gonna hide like some scared child while a woman has to pull me out of the fire. Am I being foolish? Yes, but do I care? Not in the least and nothing you can say will talk me out of this." he said. He knew he was being very foolish in staying to fight but he felt the urge to stay stronger than the sanity of getting the hell out of there.<br><br>Tim quickly scanned the ground for something he could use to fight with and saw an aluminum bat on the ground. No doubt some little kid had dropped it when he saw the demons. It was smaller than he would have preferred but he was in no position to argue about what he could use to fight the demons and turned to face one of them. "Come on you bastards! You gonna let a girl scare you from killing me? I've seen cats with more courage than you!" he taunted hoping to goad one of the two to charge after him.

				<span style="font-size: 10pt;" class="bbc_size">If there was one thing Riana had learned, from this business. Humans were the biggest liability, not only had the male behind her made no moves to go into hiding. The demons snarling in front of her was making it plainly clear it would not wait long before they attacked.&nbsp; She held up her guns, firing repeated, as she tried to hold the bastard back. The bullets weren’t really having any effect on the monsters, but if bought the guy enough time to hide. While Riana did what she had to do. She looked over her shoulder, the male rising back to his feet. Riana was relieved. She really did want to have to drag the guy to safety. <br><br>She looked over to the demon’s direction. The bullets she had lodge into its head were healing rapidly. The fiend’s smiled through pain, staring at Riana with a promise of vengeances. “That all you got, Symbionet?” Riana smirked, she was pretty certain they were trying to goad her.&nbsp; She stood there quietly, using herself as a shield. The female behind her had finally started to realize the full seriousness of the situation, and began to make an escape. Of course the demon had noticed this too. Baring its claws, and moving at such a swift pace, it would be naked to the human eye. The guy who should have been running, or hiding picked up a weapon, yelling, and taunting the demonic pair. <br><br>The female cursed, using her superior strength to push the guy out of the way. Knowing good, and well that she was the focus of the demons attack. “Are you insane! Don’t goad these bastards.” Riana stood her ground, taking one of the beasts, and then the others attack full on. She hissed, feeling the demon’s claws piercing into her skin. The cripple sting of his nail railing into the inside of thigh, if a normal human had taken this kind of assault. They never would have survived. <br><br>Riana took a deep breath, using her own strength to yank the nails out of her leg. The fiend stared down at her, laughing with its half crazed smiled. “Even if you win. We will never tell you anything.” Riana stared at the demons, wondering just what the hell both of them were getting at. “There is nothing in me that you can use. The human male was our only target, and now he is of no use any longer. Cut the human if you will, better yet. I can do it for you.” The beast pushed away, running on all four legs, heading straight for the guy. <br><br>Riana didn’t have much time to react, so allowed her instincts take over. She disappeared in the blink of an eye. Only to reappear a second later with her blade slicing through the send demons head, and her hand plowing through the other demons chest a moment later. She gazed at the stunned demon. It’s surprised almost being priceless if she wasn’t so mad.&nbsp; It reached out towards trying to use whatever last bit of strength it had left, then spoke. “How… did you …get here so fast? I didn’t…even see you…move.” It rasped. Riana didn’t even bother to look at the fiend. Instead she focused her gaze on the man she had pushed onto the ground. Her eyes were now a bright shade of red. She could see the fear in his eyes, and knew it was no longer because of the demon.&nbsp; She looked away, turning her point on the soon dead creature, answering his dying inquiry. <br><br>“How did I get here so fast?” Riana smiled, moving closer to the monster, bring her mouth to confines of its ears. It’s breathing becoming even more labored, driving the bloodlust inside her wild. “Let’s just say that’s my little secret.” She jerked back, ripping its heart out of its chest.&nbsp; The beast fell to the floor dying instantly. Riana stood there quietly watching the massive organ in her hand beat once, then twice for the last time. After a while she dropped the appendage, and looked over to the man seated on the ground. Riana, her eyes were still glowing red, and knew that it would be a while before the effects of what she had done wore off. She kneeled before the guy, taking ever care possible not to touch him, as she spoke. “Hey are you okay?”</span>

				Tim hadn't expected for the demons to move as fast as they did, eyes widening a little in shock and regret that he hadn't listened to the woman when she had ordered him to hide, and then he was surprised once more when he felt the same woman push him to the ground to keep him from dieing while using herself as a human shield. He watched in horror as their claws pierced through her body and seemed to grin in victory as they exchanged a few words before coming after him. What they said made little sense to him, only that he was apparently their target for whatever reason. What did he do to make himself such a target though? Had he unknowingly pissed off some ancient deity that now sought revenge for insulting them? Did he anger a customer who delved into the mysteries of the occult and so sent monsters from the darkness to kill him?<br><br>He had no answers for himself as he continued to remain seated there on the ground and look up at the advancing demons, a smile of victory upon their faces as the distance between him and them slowly shortened. He was effectively in the same place he started in before the girl showed up to help him, on the ground and facing imminent death. With a defeated sigh he closed his eyes and began to pray under his breath, the words coming out all mumbled as he did the only thing he could do in this situation. Several long moments passed as he braced himself to feel the stabbing pain of their claws digging into his flesh, his imagination betraying himself as he started to vivid imagine how they would tear to shreds, throwing pieces of him everywhere while blood would pool on the sidewalk until their unholy work was finished and they left his maimed body there, beyond recognition. The silence was deafening until he heard the voice of the women and what sounded like one of the demons speaking and he opened his eyes to a scene that he was glad to see.<br><br>One demon dead at the woman's feet, he watched as she then tore the heart out of the other one, the unholy thing beating twice before it stopped and then she approached him and asked if he was alright. Everything within Tim said that now he should run as he looked up into her red eyes. Instead though, he stood up before her and nodded his head at her question. "But you..." he stated as he pointed at her wounds, "you need to see a doctor. We need to get you to the hospital." He took her blood covered hand into his and he began to drag her in the direction that he recalled the nearest hospital to be in.

				<span style="font-size: 10pt;" class="bbc_size">If Riana had been a sympathetic person, she would have felt an ounce of pity for the guy trying to drag her from the hospital.&nbsp; Having your world turned upside down by finding out demons are real. Wasn’t a very appealing option to a human. However she had never met anyone to be brave enough to stick around. Most people who saw what she could do ran before the fighting was even over. Yet this guy? This guy? The shock of the situation must have been affecting him some other way. The Symbionet remained quiet, allowing the guy to take the necessary time to process what had just happened to him. <br><br>Normally once the victim recovered from the shock of the situation.&nbsp; They tended to blank out the whole ugly ordeal. She looked at the man sitting pulling her towards the main streets. Riana cringed, she had a sixth sense that this would not be the case this around.&nbsp; “Look I am fine.” The Symbionet stopped; pulling her good hand from the males grasp.&nbsp; She lifted up her hand proving her point. The wounds that had been bleeding readily were now completely healed. “See.” Riana twist her hand back, and forth. “Nothing.” <br><br>The Symbionet took a step back. She didn’t want to scare the guy any more than necessary.&nbsp; The sounds of an ambulance that was passing by on the road behind them speed by towards an unknown location. She estimated that the vehicle would be making a stop at the building she had visited an hour earlier.&nbsp; The gunshots she had used cap into the creatures she’d killed had been no silent matter. Someone from the bar she had occupied must have made the call after hearing the commotion. Riana smiled. Too bad there wouldn’t be any evidence of a body.<br><br>She gazed back towards the male. Riana really didn’t know what to say to the guy. It wasn’t like she was the type of person people confided in.&nbsp; “Look I under stand that you have had a shock.” She stated. “Not every day can a person say they were nearly killed by a monster.” Riana looked away for a moment. She really didn’t know where to begin this conversation. So she did what she normally did in this type of situation.&nbsp; “However you have seen to much, and that comes with a consequence.” She smiled. The faint glow in her eyes resuming its red luster.&nbsp; </span>

				Tim was objective of the woman's decision about not needing to go to a hospital and pulled her hand out of his while saying she was fine, and to shock him, when she presented her hand to him sure enough there was not a single scratch on her hand when there should have been several gaping holes. He couldn't help it as his hands shot out to take hers back into his to look her hand over closely, as if putting it under a scrutinizing look would make the missing wounds reappear once again and missed most of what it was that she said to him until she reached the part about because of what he had seen held consequences.<br><br>His face shot up to look into her's as he heard that last bit, and after several silent moments he took a step back worry etched on his face as he thought for a moment that she had wanted to kill and her merely killed the beasts so that she might have the pleasure of killing him personally. He doubted that line of thinking though as he looked into her eyes and then broke the connection with a shake of his head, as it didn't make sense as to why she would stop someone from killing him if it made her job easier. "Exactly what is it that I know that will bring about these "consequences"?" he inquired as his tone took on a more irritated tone, "All that I know was that I was attacked by these...these...things!"<br><br>He could feel his anger slowly mounting, on how bad of a day this had turned out to be, of being attacked for no reason, and about being saved by a women. "I want to forget that any of this ever happened, to just suddenly wake up in my bed and see that this was all nothing more than a crazy dream," he continued on then, but then sadly looked at her. If this had been a dream then he should have woken up when the creature had lunged and almost got him, "But this isn't a dream is it?" A soft sigh escaped from his lips as he looked at the woman who saved him and then held out his hand to shake. "Whatever the hell is going on, your gonna no doubt tell me, aren't you? My name's Tim."

				<em>Was this guy for real?</em> Riana looked to the guy she had just saved. He called himself Tim, and while the human male before her should have been afraid. It seemed liked he was far from it. <em>What’s with this guy?</em> She thought curiously. He should be running in fear, not standing before her asking questions. “You’re a strange one.” Riana commented. She walked past Tim, looking towards the beautiful bright full moon above. “Most people would rather forget about an evening like this.” Riana pointed out, beginning what she hoped to be a very successful intimidation session.&nbsp; “But not you. You want to know about the things that go bump in the night.” She smirked, turning her gaze away from the stunning visual of the moon, back towards Tim. <br><br>Riana’s eyes were still glowing that same bright crimson red as before. Only this time they were gazing at Tim with the same luster that had been given to the demon just moments before. “I will…tell you what you want to know.” She began. “But just so you’re warned. There is a heavy price humans have to pay. Once they…learn the truth that is. ” Riana held Tim’s gaze for a few silent moments, before she walked away. Her destination wasn’t very far. In fact it was right in front of them. In the form of the rotting heap of the digressing beast that lay dead upon the ground. <br><br>“Call me Riana.” The Symbionet pointed at the dead heap beside her. “And this thing right here, the thing that was trying to rip you into shreds. Is, or what is left of demon.” She informed the man pleasantly. Riana had never learned the tact for sedulity. “They have been around for thousands of years.” She continued to inform him. “Hiding out, or living under the radar. Allowing their once known existents to fade, so that humans will believe that they are nothing more than fairy tales, or legends.” Riana smiled, musing over such nonsense. “Making ordinary guys like you Tim, easy pickings on night like this.” <br><br>Riana turned away from the guy she had saved, and let out a deep breath. Now that she had told Tim everything. There was still the matter of whether, or not Riana would follow through with procedure. The “order” did not allow ordinary humans to know about the dark world, and those who did… Well let’s just say the “order” disposed of such nuisances. So what to do? Riana pondered. Taking Tim back to headquarters was out of the question. He was not member of the order, or a Symbionet. Riana could drop him off at his place. Of course then there was a chance the guy would start ranting about demons. Committing her to facility would be in her future, and Riana being the somewhat softy that she was didn’t want to see that happen to the male. <br><br>Besides all that if the “order learned that Tim knew about the demons existents. They would sender cleaners from HQ to handle the problem, and than his life would be turn even more upside down. “You know you are leaving mw with a problem Tim the human.”&nbsp; Riana sighed. “Now that you know the truth. I am left with only two options.” She brought her hand up to her chin, pretending contemplation. “I either have to let you go, and hope that you won’t tell anyone what you have seen tonight. Or…I have to turn you over to my superiors to judge your fate.” It was a rather hard decision for the Symbionet. She really didn’t know which way to go. <br>

				Timothy stood apart from Riana as she began to speak and explain to him that the things he had just witnessed her kill were truly demons, things that he thought didn't exist like so many, unlike his grandmother. He recalled many summers of visiting her home in Ohio and how she would tell him stories demons and would even go into detail about their appearances and what vices or domains that they belonged to. He had thought that this was all to merely scare him into being a well behaved young man. Now though, with living proof that demons truly did exist right before his eyes, it was starting to make him wonder just what else was real and just merely hiding. His thoughts were interrupted, however, when she told him what options were available now that he knew the truth.<br><br>He looked at her in disbelief for a few moments, but when she said nothing more and not even something along the lines of, "Just kidding, your being punked," then did he realize how serious of a situation he was in. "I'll see your superiors then," he said without hesitation as he took a slight step forward towards her, "like you said, I want to know more about the things that go bump in the night, and how to better beat them." Though she had technically given him a way out by saying he just had to keep his mouth shut, he doubted that he would do that as he would no doubt go looking for any information that he could find on the demons. "Come what may, I wish to help."

				<span style="font-size: 10pt;" class="bbc_size">It was hard to say what made the human decided to grasp such a decision. Riana had only been teasing this Tim about taking him to her superiors. This human before her hand no idea, but the usual protocol for dealing with mortals in these occasions was to either wipe the memory of the incident from their minds, or dispose of them right along with demon. The council in fact actually never placed judgment on human victims. There only real concern was to collect the puzzle pieces, and keep the secret of the Shadow Life. They did not care how the organizations symbionets dealt with mortal bystanders, just as long as the secret was maintained.&nbsp; Riana of course could easily kill this human named Tim, but something about him. The Symbionet female found him interesting, which was strange for she had never really taken an interest in a mortal before. So why now, and why this ordinary human called Tim. It made no sense, and yet Riana could not deny she was intrigued by him. <br><br>“Actually my foolish little human…” The Symbionet began; finally designing to respond to Tim’s unexpected statement. “…my superiors do not pass judgment on matters such as these.” She revealed. “I’m just the kind of being who likes to do what you humans call: <em>pulling ones leg.</em>”&nbsp; Riana smiled. She was a little disappointed that her little form of torment hadn’t worked on Tim, but then the Symbionet guess not all humans were frightened of the unknown.&nbsp; “Any way there is still the dilemma of what to do with you.” The female sighed, pretending to ponder of the situation. “I could do what I mentioned before, and bring you to my superiors.” She began. “But then you probably wouldn’t live past this night.” Riana looked to Tim, her eyes glowing a bright hue of red under the moonlight. It was a look that the Symbionet had given many a times in the past to other human bystanders. “Of course I could just kill you here and end my troubles.” Riana turned away from Tim, placing her hand near her gun. <br><br>It appeared as if she was contemplating following through with such a threat, but unknown to Tom she had other ideas. “Lucky for you my mortal friend…” The Symbionet turned, her raven hair flowing gracefully through the wind. She looked like what most humans described her kind to be, a dark angel ready to pounce upon and unsuspecting soul. “I rather like you alive.” She smirked. “So instead of killing you, I intend to make you my human familiar.” That way Tim could gain what he desired, and explore the dark reaches of supernatural lifestyle without the fear of death. While Riana could have what she wanted as well, to study this interesting human that had somehow caught her attention. “So what do you say <em>Tim</em>? You want to agree to be my familiar, and come along for the ride.” </span>

				Tim's actually breathed a sigh of relief when she said that her superiors didn't pass judgement on a matter like this, as he had a feeling that if he was to face whoever was her boss then he would surely be doomed to being killed on the spot to keep the demons a secret. But then as she continued on he was almost convinced that she might actually kill him herself when he saw her hand move towards the pistols she wore on her hips. He considered running if her hand actually took up her gun and to kill, but knew that it would be foolish to try. He watched her fight and kill those two demons with unnatural speed and survive an injury that would have felled a human. He would only be making things slightly more difficult by running.<br><br>So when she then said that today was his lucky day and asked if he wished to be her familiar Tim had to think. He wasn't quite familiar with the word but had read it a few times in a couple of books and figured that it had something to do with being her pet basically. Tim wasn't all that sure that he wanted to be someone else pet, especially when it was someone who he only just met and only by chance. But she also was giving him the chance to do what he wanted, to help keep people safe from unknown dangers. His face showed that he was in deep thought as he started to pace back and forth a few times as he tried to weigh the pros and cons, but he would have to come to a decision at some point, and stopped to confront her.<br><br>"I truly hope what I'm choosing is best," he said as he took a single step towards her and then bowed his head, "but I shall become your familiar to ensure that nothing happens to myself and so that you can keep a close eye on me should anything leak out that demons are real." he then looked up and smiled, "besides, I'm sure there's a reason I was chosen as a target by those demons, so keeping me close also denies them their target."
