Silence fell upon it's deaf surroundings as it echoed through the streets and bounced off the buildings. It was a time that most were either asleep in the comfort of their homes or out in the town for some fun, but never in the neighbourhoods. At least not at two in the morning. Nuenue was on her way home when a chill ran down her spine. Something was there. Something was watching her. Her eyes narrowed as she looked around, looking to see if someone else was near her, before a shadow played a trick on her in her peripheral vision. Glancing in that area, she quickened her pace as heels dug into the ground, breaking the tense silence.
   The was a whisper behind her and Nue had enough of these games.
   Pulling out a blade, she gritted her teeth as she turned around swiftly and blindly swung the blade at the shadowy figured that appeared behind her. It made contact as he choked out, a surprised noise escaping chapped lips as a large gash, right in the middle of his neck, started to bleed. Blood poured out of the wound quickly, as well as his mouth, as he looked at her with wide eyes, full of accusation, hurt and surprise. A sense of betrayal flashed on his features as his eyebrows dipped and tears pricked at his eyes. He wasn't expecting this. Not at all.
   "Joe.." She gasped as she reached forward but L.Joe recoiled and put more distance between them before shaking his head.
   L.Joe's human features began to blur and tint to a shade of black as his shower blood took control. "N-Nue...." He coughed out more blood before dispersing into thin air right in front of her to hide in the shadows, leaving her there to deal with the shock of her actions.
