			<div itemprop="text">
				
					<div class="bbWrapper">The street was ominously still. A young girl weaved her way through avoiding the litter that was scattered along Cosby street. Her head was down. A smirk crossed her lips as she recognized the name, muggers lane. Red curls bounced in front of her eyes. She moved swiftly but without concern as her eyes scanned ahead. Rain lightly fell around her as she extracted a cigarette and lighter out of her loose fitting jeans. She took a long drag while she patted her other pocket, searching for her knife.<br>
<br>
<br>
Suddenly the woman ascertained a patch of unmistakable bright blond hair in a window. She halted and peered in a small pub. A large television was angled in a way to lure in patrons. "Raewyn Ebnir, twenty five year old suspect wanted for questioning by FBI in regards to an art heist." Above the text a flattering characterization of a blond with her hair fashioned into a Mohawk. Tattoos crept up the woman' neck. Her teal colored eyes seemed devoid of any emotion. Raewyn ran the tips of her fingers across her neck, feeling the powdery residue left from the foundation.<br>
<br>
<br>
Today was a long day for her with the full force of the FBI on her, she was unable to get any sleep. She frowned when she thought of the more unsavory group following her. She never was able to vex a good look at them. When she came near they always drew their hoods up or slithered back in the shadows. Walking down muggers lane it was hard to distinguish the criminals from the real threat, the people who wanted to take her. Raewyn flicked the remainder of the cigarette on the concrete. A large man peered at her from the stoop of an old building.<br>
<br>
<br>
Raewyn's eyes narrowed as she quickened her pace. Her hands grasping the straps of her pack. Rae's whole life was in her bag. She had everything from 1984 by George Orwell to her colt anaconda. After a few blocks she casually looked around her and was sure she lost whoever it was that was tailing her. She stopped and put her hands on her knees, she was so tired, maybe if she could just hail a cab. She stepped forward and looked up and down the street. In New Yorker fashion a car sped fast splashing water all over her. The hoodie she wore clung to her as she leaned forwards and let out a few of her favorite curse words.<br>
<br>
<br>
She felt strong arms around her mid drift. Rae knew it was too late before she could even reach for the pocket knife she kept in her left pocket. She inhaled a sharp intake of breath intending to scream. A wet cloth was shoved into her open mouth, causing her to gag and her eyes to water. Raewyn slumped forward. The first second she couldn't move any of her limbs. The second the sound of cars honking in the distance began to fade. Seconds later her sight was also fleeting.<br>
<br>
<br>
The cacophony of her pack being emptied<br>
<br>
<br>
Caused Raewyn to stir. Her eyes widened. Bang, her 1000 dollar laptop hit the cement. Boom the book soon joined it. Her revolver clattered to the ground and rolled towards Rae's feet. Before she could react to the man he whirled around and grabbed the gun. When they made eye contact he smiled, opened the clip and emptied it. He knelt at her feet and pulled the long red wig off of her head.<br>
<br>
<br>
Raewyn gasped. She could count on one hand home many things she sincerely feared. She was stricken by this man. She was sitting on the ground untied but she couldn't manage to get up or run. She was roughly pulled to her feet. Her knees started to shake so much she almost collapsed at his feet. The man steadied her. She could hear the sounds of waves slapping against the docks, taste the musky air in the dark wear house they inhibited. Her sight however was limited to what the small light source dangling above her allowed. That sight wasn't promising. She could make out more figures watching from the shadows. For the first time in her life Raewyn felt absolutely powerless to another being.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The man, who was wearing a dark cloak with the hood currently pulled down, was shaved bald, both head and face, half of his head tattooed in a black, arabesque pattern. He seemed to be <i>very</i> pleased with himself as he forced the young woman into a steel folding chair, tying her arms and legs against it with thick rope, which he tied rather tightly. As her eyes readjusted, Raewyn would notice that two other men, both in in black suits, and black glasses, were standing about with hand guns. "Boss is gonna be real happy we got his girl for him," the one in the hood said, "We're gonna be heroes! Saints! Haha!"<br>
<br>
<br>
"I didn't think it would be so easy," one of the men in the suits, a brown haired fellow, replied, "If she has the blood of a god, shouldn't she be... I don't know, powerful? Dangerous? Hard to capture? I mean are you sure this is her? If we bring the wrong girl back, the boss is gonna thrash us."<br>
<br>
<br>
The hooded one glared, "Of course she's the right one, you <i>idiot</i>. You <i>dare</i> accuse me of making such a mistake?"<br>
<br>
<br>
The taller of the two suits, a black haired fellow, smirked a menacing smirk, "You think the boss would care if we had a go at her before we delivered her? I mean he's probably gonna kill her anyway, seems a shame to let her go to waste, you know?"<br>
<br>
<br>
Behind the two suited thugs, Raewyn was just able to see a large wooden storage crate being slowly pushed in front of the door that led out of the warehouse. A shadowy figure was moving the crate, impossible to make out the details of in the oppressive darkness beyond the hanging light. As this was happening, the hooden man snapped, "The boss will <i>definitely</i> kill you, if you try and touch the girl... Before he gets his in, anyway. Maybe if there's anything left after he's done, he'll let you at it."<br>
<br>
<br>
The two suited thugs laughed at this, apparently not having noticed the crate being moved. They did notice, however, when something hit the concrete floor nearby with a "wump". All three of them looked in that direction, guns pointed toward the sound's origin. "What the hell was that?" The shorter thug asked.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Probably just rats," the hooded one said, "You know New York has a rat problem. Damn things are everyw-" Suddenly, a paint can came flying out of the darkness, striking the hooded man directly in the head with enough force that it dented the can. He went down, his head hitting the concrete with a sickening "crack". His body twitched as blood gurgled from his half open mouth.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Shit! Shit!" The thugs opened fire on the shadows in the direction the paint can had come from, ran out of bullets, reloaded, and then started shooting again. Shortly after the reload, something emerged from the shadows behind them. It was a... Man? About five feet eleven inches tall,  wearing blue jeans and black boots, along with a slick black "Matrix" trench coat, and small, round, dark glasses. His hair was cut very close to his head, was a shocked white color, and was kept in a topknot by a small silver ring. His skin was the pale white of death, and trails of odd black ichor seemed to be coming from his eyes, or at least from under the dark glasses he wore. Silently, he grabbed one of the men, the shorter of the two, placing his hand over the man's mouth and dragging him back into the darkness, a knife clearly visible in his other hand.<br>
<br>
<br>
Once the shooting died down, the black haired suit began spinning around, noticing only then that he was alone. Just as the thug was having this realization, the man from the shadows emerged again, this time holding out a handgun that Raewyn may have recognized as a Beretta M9. The shadow man whistled, and the thug turned around, letting out a surprised "yagh!" before a loud bang and a muzzle flash saw his head jerk back violently, a bleeding hole now visible in his skull as he dropped to the ground like a wet bag of rocks.<br>
<br>
<br>
Slipping the weapon into his coat, the odd man approached the chair Raewyn had been tied to, producing a combat knife once again to cut her bonds. As he did so, he spoke, his voice being oddly normal, perhaps even an octave higher than one might expect. "I'm going to move the crate away from the door, and then we need to get out of here. Someone will have heard the gunshots, and New York's finest are probably on their way. If they don't get here first, more of these cultist assholes will, and either way, I only brought so many bullets. My car's outside, I can get us someplace outside the city, someplace at least relatively safe until the heat dies down." Finally having finished cutting away the rope, he stood up, walking around to stand momentarily in front of her. "They call me Curse, and you can thank me later."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">'This can't be happening.' Raewyn was cut from her bonds. 'The blood of a god?' She slowly got to her feet her legs wobbling to support herself. 'I can't trust him.' She massaged her legs until the pins and needle feeling faded. Her eyes began to adjust to the darkness. She scanned her surroundings. Most of the warehouse was still filled with shadows.<br>
<br>
<br>
She winced as she thought about the massacre that just took place. 'Curse' she thought how fitting. Raewyn assessed her situation. She was alone with a mad man in a secluded warehouse with corpses surrounding her. A large crate that she assumed she couldn't move would be blocking her only exit. NYPD was on their way and she could only assume that if they found her here they wouldn't politely ask her to recount the events that transpired.<br>
<br>
<br>
She had no choice, she stopped to grab Beverly. She quickly checked the safety on the revolver and stashed it in the back of her pants pulling her hoodie over it. She was comforted by the cool metal on the small of her back. She also felt as ease because she knew there was a bullet in the chamber. 'Why is it that the bad guys always forget that part?' She mused as she followed Curse her combat boots sounding dangerously loud.<br>
<br>
<br>
She examined Curse mutely. Rae doubted that she could out run him. He was also obviously stronger. She was almost certain that he saw her pick up her gun and stash it. The only thing she would be able to do would be catch him by surprise and hope she could slither away as she often did. Until she could seize that opportunity she might as well go with it. In a flash she remembered what he did to the goons in less than a couple minutes. She swallowed hard as she felt a lump of fear rise in her throat.<br>
<br>
<br>
She patiently waited for Curse to move the crate. She scrambled outside at the first opportunity. Gulping in air that didn't taste dank. She wasn't sure she would have ever made it out of there. She hopped in the car and leaned forward in her seat. She jammed her hand deep into her pocket and pulled out her last cigarette. The pressure from the tape ripped it clean in half. She sighed as she flicked it out of the car and muttered "what the fuck did I get myself into now.'</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Just outside the door was another dead suit, probably the lookout, this one female. She was laying face down in a pool of her own blood, appearing as though her throat had been cut. The maniac must have done a perimeter check before he'd somehow slipped into the warehouse. It was raining ever so slightly outside, the air was frigid, and there was a stiff breeze... A dark and stormy night. Curse's vehicle, as it turned out, was a Dodge Challenger R/T, mostly white with a bit of red and black here and there.<br>
<br>
<br>
The interior of the vehicle was somewhat of a mess; discarded fast food wrappers and empty bottles of whiskey lay on the floor, and in the back seat, in plain sight at that moment, was a small pile of probably unregistered, primarily automatic firearms, as well as a bullet-belt style strip of leather, its holsters filled with syringes. One of these syringes was empty, but the others were filled with a clear liquid.<br>
<br>
<br>
There was a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder as Curse followed Raewyn outside, and the rain began to fall harder, making an almost relaxing sound as it struck the windshield of the car. Pulling the driver's side door open, he leaned down to get a good look at the girl in the relative light of the dock lamp he'd parked under. "Doesn't look like they roughed you up too much." With that, he got into the car, pulled the driver's side door closed, tugged a black blanket over the ordinance in the back seat, and started the engine. Despite his earlier insistence that they were operating on a limited timetable, he drove slowly away from the docks until he hit the nearest city street, at which point he sped up. "Don't want them finding tire tracks, if I can help it," he explained.<br>
<br>
<br>
They drove for a little while in silence, nothing but the rumble of the engine and the sound of the rain. Once they were on the other side of the Holland Tunnel, Curse began to speak again. "...So in case you're wondering why you woke up in a warehouse today, here's the situation as far as I understand it. There's this guy, Victor Telesco, Italian, apparently got tired of the mob and decided to start up a family band, only instead of a family band, it was a doomsday cult. Why settle for being a consigliere and having people call you "boss" when you can be a prophet and have people call you "his most humble and enlightened whatever", right? So the whole idea behind this doomsday cult is that the gods are fed up with humanity being corrupt and horrible, and want to purge the earth with fire, drown it in water, and then let it begin anew. Before that can happen, a bridge has to be created between the realms of Earth and heaven using the blood of one of the children of the gods. Bad news about that is, they think this god child is <i>you</i>. Now, I don't know if you are some kind of demi-god, or if Victor Telesco is just cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Personally, I'd put money on the latter. Either way, I've seen some pretty crazy shit in my time, and I don't want to take any chances, 'cause if the world ends, and the gods purge it, that's gonna include me, and I'm <i>really </i>attached to being alive, as I must imagine you and probably a lot of other people are."<br>
<br>
<br>
Curse hung a right, and continued, putting his pedal to the metal a bit more. "I got a place up near a little lake in Otisville where we can sit tight for a while, get some sleep, food, whatever. After that, I'm thinking we break for Canada. Telesco's little brotherhood's real active here in the states, but I guess it's too cold for 'em up north, because they mostly don't operate out there. I can't promise they won't cross the border to come and find you, considering how important they think you are, but it's a start. If they follow, then we kill 'em, relocate, and try again. Personally I'd like to just shoot Victor and be done with it, but he's not an easy guy to find, and I hear he took a few cues from one of Earth history's greatest assholes, and he has a few body doubles whose sole purpose is to take bullets intended for him... Not to mention the thousands of wackos tied up in this little cult of his. No, best bet is just to hide you." The storm just seemed to keep getting worse, but despite this, the R/T's tires hugged the road exceptionally well, and hydroplaning didn't seem to be an issue. "So, enough about the nutjobs looking to make a bridge to oblivion out of your entrails, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself? Your name would be a good start, since it'd be pretty awkward calling you "tough looking chick" for the next couple of days. I suppose I should know after all the research I did, but neither my informant, nor the couple of Victor's thugs I uh, questioned, were kind enough to mention any names. They like to call you "the god child". That's also a little awkward for my liking."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Raewyn sighed as she slowly reclined her chair. Her eyes fluttered. Her adrenalin began to dissipate leaving nothing but a reminder that she hadn't had any rest for two in a half days. Raewyn couldn't ascertain the last time she rode in a car or been able to slightly relax. She shoved her knuckles into her eyes until she saw stars scolding herself for getting so comfortable. She didn't even know Curse. She rolled her window down a little gulping in fresh air. The cool startled her awake. When Curse began to speak she was too tired to stop the emotions that crossed her face. Curiosity, disbelief, anger. She even rolled her eyes at the word Demi-God.<br>
<br>
<br>
Ever since Raewyn lost her mother at age eight she struggled with any thing even remotely religious. Her mother was always the one who would pack her children and husband in the mini van every Sunday morning and force them into the church. Once she was gone they all tried to go regularly to preserve her memory or what not but all church did was cause tensions and fights every Sunday morning. That's when they realized mom was the glue that held everything together. Before she became a fugitive she had several religious books stacked around her room. She never got the answers she was looking for so she settled on atheism unsure if she believed in the absence of a higher power. Now suddenly she was thrust into this world full of nut jobs not that pushed her into their world?<br>
<br>
<br>
Unsure what to do she turned back to the window her mind working furiously. The car was unlocked. She could push open the door and roll out onto the pavement. Her body tensed at the thought. It was cold she was tired and who new when NYPD would close in. No being stranded on the streets of New York with a bolo out on her wouldn't work. As much as she hated to admit it to herself she needed help at least for now. Canada that sounded as good as any place.<br>
<br>
<br>
When asked for her name she frowned. Three of her most used aliases came to mind. She shrugged doubting that anything but the truth would suffice for Curse. "You can call me Raewyn or tough looking chick depending on the situation. I don't prefer God child either seeing as how I'm not sure what to believe in at the moment." Rae paused for a few heart beats wondering how to ask what was on her mind. "How did you find out about all this crap and what exactly are you? How do I know I can trust you? It seems a lot of people want my head on a platter right now after all." She decided. She crossed her arms across her torso as she studied him.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"Raewyn huh? Funny, you don't look like a Raewyn. A Cinder, or a Gertie, Peggy maybe. Still, I like it, it's pretty, reminds me of a gal I used to know. You ask some hard hitting questions though, Raewyn. What the hell am I is kind of a long one, I don't know if you really want to tackle that on this particular car ride in this particular storm on this particular evening. Maybe once we reach Otisville, and we've both got some sleep and eaten breakfast, I'll tell you fucked up story of how I came to be what I am... The parts that I can remember, anyway. Lot of it's just haze in the back of my mind, flashes of faces and voices, memories of getting thrown around, muscle memory recounting a whole lot of pain. Makes sense I barely remember it, I guess, since it was literally a lifetime ago. For now, suffice it to say that I'm somebody who doesn't want to see the world end, and so I'm gonna make sure it doesn't end, and I'm gonna do that by helping you get away from Victor Telesco and his crazy doomsday prophecy. And who knows? Maybe once you're safely out of his reach, I'll go start working through his body doubles. It's good to get exercise, you know what I mean?"<br>
<br>
<br>
There was a flash of lightning followed by a rumble of thunder, and for a moment, the area around them was illuminated. They were going through a smaller town now, though "smaller than New York" wasn't saying too much. On the note of religion, the rain was nigh biblical, which Curse finally seemed to notice. "Sure is coming down out there... You'd think the sky was falling. I love the rain. It's quieting, relaxing, you know? There's so much clamor in the world, so much bustle and bullshit, and a nice big rain storm shuts it all down. Well, chases it inside, anyway. I wonder if maybe the universe knows how close Telesco came to getting his hands on you. Heh. Oh, but you wanted to know how I know about all this crap. Right, well, I'm a uh... Pest control agent. I specialize in the extermination of people like Victor Telesco. He's been getting more ballsy recently, I've noticed more of his thugs kicking around, so I decided to politely ask a few of them what they were up to. I gotta give it to him, he's got most of them indoctrinated pretty good, the first few wouldn't talk, no matter what I did to them. I found a weak link, though, and he spilled <i>all </i>the beans. I interrogated a few more, just to make sure the info I had was correct... And for fun. Once one of them told me they'd found their god child and had her locked up in a warehouse waiting for Telesco to come pick her up though, I cut my fun short so I could come find you. Wasn't hard, Telesco's good at keeping himself under the "official" radar, but his goons are pretty sloppy, and it didn't take me long to track 'em to the docks."<br>
<br>
<br>
Curse looked over at her for a moment, then quickly back at the road. "As far as how do you know you can trust me, you don't. I can't really offer you any proof aside from pulling you out of that warehouse, so you're just gonna have to take my word for it. Believe me though, you're better off with me than you are on the run from Victor's cult by yourself. I'm not saying you can't take care of yourself, but having me around has certain advantages which are gonna become apparent the first time bullets start flying, which, unfortunately, I'm sure they will sooner rather than later. Well, since I know your name now, I'll tell you mine, maybe that'll help with your trust problem. Yeah, "Curse" is just an affectionate moniker given to me by a charming fellow by the name of Ganbold Buqatai, whose head I would later separate from his body. Even after I lopped that guy's head off, the name stuck, and it keeps my real name out of the papers and just generally keeps things easier on me if people call me Curse, so I try to encourage it. The name's actually Xander, though, Xander Qiang. You can call me Xan." He looked over at her and winked, then snapped his focus back on the road ahead. "Listen, I'd be lying if I said you look like shit, because you actually look pretty damn good, but you do look tired. There's not much going on right now, so why don't you get some sleep? Don't worry, I'll wake you if a gun fight or car chase breaks out. Wouldn't want you to sleep through the fun."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Raewyn looked at Curse. She gave him a small smile and just as quickly as it appeared it was gone. "You talk a lot Xan" she observed. She resumed looking out the window. She found herself morbidly wondering about him. What kind of person he really was, how he intended to stop the cult. Her tongue grew heavy with everything she wanted to say but she doubted he would answer her not yet anyway.  Raewyn closed her eyes sleep didn't sound like such a bad idea.<br>
<br>
<br>
Her eyelids drifted closed. The sound of the water now pounding against the car slowly lulled her into a deep sleep.<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>Suddenly silence pressed against Raewyn's ears. Her whole body tensed. She couldn't peer through the darkness. Her breathing came out rattled. She panicked straining against her bonds. Bonds? She was sitting rope was strapped around her thighs and arms. A light flipped on. Blood was everywhere. Deep slash marks lined her arms blood covered what was left of her slashed up clothes. Half of her hoodie was cut open revealing a white tank top died red with blood. A puddle pooled by Raewyn's combat boots. Her vision blurred. She screamed and realized how raw her voice was. Tears streamed from both eyes as she assessed the damage done to her body. Her left arm was contorted. She began convulsing she couldn't feel any pain and that was the scariest thing imaginable. She tried to focus on something anything to keep her focused. A man with a hood pulled low over his head stepped into her line of vision. It was him. The one who took her. Confusion slowly rose to the forefront of her mind. "It's almost complete." He growled to someone standing behind him. Rae tried to focus but she could only see a talk figure. The hooded man stepped forward a long silver blade glinting in his hand. </i><br>
<br>
<br>
Rae was slumped over her back to Xan forehead pressed against the glass. She gasped and shuddered. She pressed a finger to the corner of her eyes the tips came back wet. She took a few calming breaths and then sat back in the chair. "When will we get there" she asked.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"You're in luck," Curse replied, "We're just outside of Otisville. Now uh, you should probably know, this place isn't exactly "mine". Bunch of rich assholes use it as a vacation home, but I figure since they only use it a couple months out of the year, if that, y'know, why let it go to waste the rest of the year? So it's got electricity and water and stuff, but if you find a bunch of weird porn or something like that in one of the rooms, it's not mine... I mean, it's <i>probably</i> not mine." Entering Otisville, Curse drove to the middle of town and hung a right , then another right a bit later off onto a gravel road, finally stopping the car near a modern looking cabin sitting next to a small lake. "Oof, gonna have to get gas in the morning. Had to stop while you were asleep, surprised it didn't wake you. Almost empty again though." Curse tapped the gasoline gauge on the dashboard twice with a knuckle.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Anyway, here we are. Gonna have to pick the lock, gimme just a second." The rain was still falling, though it seemed to have subsided a bit, the storm no longer biblical in proportions. Curse got out of the car and withdrew a small kit from his trench coat, jogging across the lawn under an old tree with no leaves on it, and using a few metal instruments to unlock the door. "You'd think a bunch of rich pricks would invest in a security system so people like me can't do shit like this. Then again, being rich doesn't necessarily mean you're smart I guess. Still, shouldn't they at least be greedy enough that they wouldn't want anyone breaking in and taking their shit? Either way, ladies first. Kitchen's just off the living room, but there's probably nothing in there right now. Master bedroom's upstairs, last door on the left, there's a bathroom in there with a shower if you feel like cleaning up. I'm gonna sleep downstairs, just in case. The likelihood of Telesco's little army finding us here in under twenty four hours is slim to nil, but I'd rather not take any chances considering the kind of folks we're dealing with. If you can't sleep 'cause you just slept, I think they have cable. I don't know, I don't watch much TV. Anyway, sleep tight."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Raewyn peered at her self in the bathroom mirror. Fog obscured most of her reflection with the exception of her face. Her eyes looked more alert and her face regained some of its color. After spending over a half an hour in the shower scrubbing off layers of grime and even worse foundation she could finally recognize herself. Her clothes were plopped on the bathroom floor sopping wet. She managed to find a small pair of men's sweatpants and an oversized hoodie.<br>
<br>
<br>
She left the bathroom and spent the next hour looking through the master bedroom. She found hardly anything of value except the clothes she had on and a pair of thermal socks she slipped on her cold feet. She sat on the edge of the bed as she slid her boots back on her tired feet. She looked at the bed longingly for a moment before she jumped up reminded of her dream.<br>
<br>
<br>
That was a wake up call nowhere was safe for long. She grabbed Beverly off the nightstand and quickly left the room before she could change her mind. She raced down the stairs as quietly as she could. She kept her eyes down as she moved towards the front door. She was held her breath refusing to look up afraid she'd see Curse open his eyes and ask what she was doing.<br>
<br>
<br>
When she reached the door she opened it and closed it gently behind her. She looked ahead she could see the gravel drive. She imagined herself running at breakneck speed down it to the road but then what. It was painfully obvious that Raewyn needed Curse. Without him she would either be dead or worse. Raewyn slowly walked towards the lake she sat crossed legged in front of it. She grabbed little pebbles and dropped them in watching little ripples disrupt the surface not unlike how small ripples were disrupting her life right now.</div>
