"My eye?" I reached up to feel the bandages. "Oh... I had a run in with a few bandits awhile back. Being a girl that I am, I don't think my scar would be very flattering so why not cover it up." I winked.

"True." I look at the horizan. The sun starts to set. "So what is your destination? Or do you have one?"

"Wherever the road takes me to," my lips curving into a crooked smile which suddenly faded at the sound of Aiden's alarmed voice.
There's a bunch of bandits on their way to the town tonight, Storm. I think it'd be wise if you left.
What about the people in the town? Shouldn't I stay? How many are there?
Do you remember the last time you helped out a town? The same thing will happen again, Storm and you know that.
There was a pause in my response. I can handle it, Aiden. Just tell me how far they are and how many there are.
There's 7 of them and their almost in the city. They plan on visiting and make their move at night. Apparently, they had made a deal with someone and it didn't go the way they wanted. So they are wanting revenge. Their going to make off with his daughter and before you ask it's the blacksmith and he lives only a few blocks where you are. Look for the numbers 241, I'll be watching...
I nodded to myself and looked at Yuki once more and spoke urgently,"I'm sorry, but you'll have to excuse me for the evening." I hurried past him to go out the door heading to the blacksmith's house.

I watch Storm as she takes off. "That was strange." I then start to wonder, "Why did she take off suddenly without warning? Something is going on. I probably shouldn't be nosy." I then sigh. "But then again if I wasn't nosy I wouldn't be me." I then follow Storm stealthily.

I hurried through town searching and then I came to a stop in front of a house with those numbers etched into the wood of the fence. A young lady had walked out of around the corner and froze at the sight of me. I nodded my head and gave her a warm smile,"Hello, are you the daughter of the blacksmith around these parts?"
She gave me a cautious glance and nodded slowly,"Yes, I am she... what can I do for you?"
"I have some work I'd like to discuss with him and I would like it to be private and was wondering when he'd be home."
"He's here now." I turned around to look upon a man who seemed to be in his mid-thirties. His figure lean yet muscular with curly brown locks that reached to his shoulders.
"Hello, I don't mean to be a bother, but I have something to discuss with you. It's quite urgent," looking at him with an intense gaze.
He looked over me throughly and spoke with a sigh,"follow me." He walked past me with me right on his heels. We passed through the small house to the back where there was a shack. As the gentlemen he opened the door for me,"Find a seat and speak your business."
"If you don't mind, I prefer to stand." I thought for a moment.
Aiden, you know of what I need.
John Barlow
"You know of a man by the name of John Barlow. Am I correct?" The look that spread through his features were evident. "That answers enough." He began to open his mouth. "Do NOT question my authority, sir. Just listen to what I say and there will be no harm. Tonight you and your daughter are going to stay the night at the Tavern." I threw him the keys to my room. "You will stay there until sunrise. Do not speak of this to anyone. After this night you will no longer have to be in fear of John and his little game. I want to ask you to never, ever deal with no one else after this. It is better to die then get mixed in with a bunch of no good scoundrels. Do you hear me?" I put my hands on the table with a hard glance. He was dumbstruck and apparently tongue-tied for no sound came.
"Do you hear me, sir," I spoke with a softer tone. "Do what I say, you and your daughter, especially your daughter, will be safe. I promise you this."
The man gave me a look and shifted uncomfortably in his seat,"How do you know of this and why are you doing this? What makes you think you can stop him. Why should you? What is in this for you?"
I was thoughtful,"Do you need a reason? Please trust me, a complete stranger noneless, tomorrow morning when you return they'll be a few things lying on the kitchen counter for you. Now go fetch that daughter of yours and go to your room. Is that clear?" The alluring of my eyes gave the man no choice, but to nod.
"Off you go then"
He got up and left the shack. I could feel Aiden following them and keeping a close eye making sure of there being no mishaps.
You see Aiden it is under control. No one will know of my identity this way.
At least you were quick to the point. That hynotism ability of yours is going to get you in a heap of trouble.
Doesn't everything... I could feel a chuckle from Aiden.
Your going to have to embrace what you are, Storm.
sigh
I came to a stop as I walked outside of the shack. I could the presence of another, "Whose there?" I rested my hand on the handle of my blade.

"Don't worry, there is no need for violence." I then show myself to Storm. "I do apologize for this. *smiles slightly* I am a nosy swordsman after-all." The smile fades away slowly. So what exactly is going? And who is John Barlow?

"Oh, it's only you,"I relaxed,"well I don't blame you I suppose for I did run off quite suddenly." I thought for a minute to explain.
"To be honest, I do not know this John Barlow personally, but I do know he had some plans tonight to take off with the girl of this home. Apparently the blacksmith had been in some unpleasant dealings if you know what I mean. I suppose you can say I am quite the nosy being myself." I gave Yuki a soft smile.
"So from all this that I have heard, I decided to take care of the matter myself. There's 7 of them including John himself. The scoundrels that they are, I am quite sure they'd do even more harm to the town. I know they'll begin here, so I plan on staying the night and giving them a big welcome,"I smiled brightly.

I then realize that nightfall is approaching quickly. "Seven you say? It sounds pretty tough for one person alone. How about I join you welcoming party."

I knew he would want to join me after hearing of this. I eyed him carefully,"I honestly don't know if it would be wise for you to join me tonight. After all... things can get out of hand." It frightened me to think of what might happen if I were to become my other self.

"I thank you for your concern, but I'll be fine." I then smile at the woman. "Don't underestimate me."

I looked upon the house with a thoughtful gaze,"I wouldn't dare underestimate you, Yuki. Join me then, but know that whatever may happen tonight that I am not your enemy." I turned looking into his eyes with a meaningful gaze.

I was about to ask why, but I chose not to. I walk up to the door step. "Shall we go in?"

I nodded with a slight smile,"We shall." I walked in passed him walking into the cozy living room helping myself to a seat. "We've got time to kill to think of a good plan. They'll be here pretty late. You've got any ideas for us to have a little fun with this? I know one thing we need it to be quiet so we won't disturb our neighbors." I smiled mischievously.

I take off my sword away from my side. I sit down with my sheathed sword still in my hand. "We could kill them silently. But then..." I think for a moment. I look at Storm. "Should we kill them, or leave them for the guard?

I thought for a moment and then my vision went black... Aiden had entered memories of what these bandits' past. I winced at the pain of the victim's screams and the barbaric laughter of the men. Seeing this, I knew what was in store for the young girl if we were not here to stop it. This wouldn't of been the last time. I folded my arms and spoke in a harsh whisper,"It would be better for them to be dead." Picturing the blood that would be spilled tonight made my spine tingle in utter pleasure letting my eyes flicker a deep shade of red. I pushed the craving aside. I crossed my legs in a lady like manor and smiled,"I think I have a plan."
