The sky was grey and dim.A promise of rain was in the air. Maxxie looked around her at all the humans. They were so happy. A dog couldn't be any happier if he dug up a grave full of bones. The shops were lined up and looked full of people trieing to stay out of the weather. A raindrop fell on Maxxie's head as she walked down the sidewalk. She looked in a little Cafe that seemed to be almost empty. As a split second decision she walked in and sat at a booth at the wall in view of the door. She told the woman at the counter that she wanted a cofee and started playing with her hair. A nervous habit she had.
The door jingled as another woman walked in with a kid. They sat infront of Maxxie and the child stared at her. Pssht, kids hate me, what else is new. Maxxie stuck her toungue out at the little girl and she mimicked her. Maxxie chuckled and played along. Maxxie would make a face and the little girl mimicked like a mirror. The game came to an end when the mother came back from the restroom and saw them. She took the little girl and left the Cafe scowling at Maxxie. "Whatever. I didn't like the kid anyway." Maxxie mumbled to herself as she took a drink of her cofee.

"Oh, really now?" Came a sudden voice, deep and rough. "You could have fooled me." It added, a smirk in the sound. Rohjyx walked around from behind the back of the booth, a smirk on his face. He slid into the booth across from the girl.
"I was watching you're little exchange," He said nonchalantly. He pointed to a small two-person table not to far away. "From there. Actually, you've been under pretty close surveillance since one of my Scouts spotted you. I congratulate you on your win, child. It was a very good fight." He added. Calmly, he looked around the shop, his eyes taking in everything.
It was an old habit he was not willing to break, taking in everything. It had proved several, several times to be to his advantage to remember where things were. It had kept him from dying a great many times.
But that was not a suitable topic to dwell on while talking to a lady. It would put him in a mood to kill, and that wsa far from acceptable by his standards.
His eyes returned to the vibrant red-head and he smiled a big smile. It was, of course, a fake smile to put to ease the few people who were staring. Their age difference was a noticable one, but Rohjyx could pass off for her older brother if she would play along. 'Play along, child,' He mentally urged. 'I promise you I will not bore you.
OOC||: Okay, I have to say this. Since I started typing this, I've been thinking, "PEDOPHILE!!" about Rohjyx. xDD I don't know what it is, but a 21 yr old who has been watching a 17 year old who knows nothing about him talking to her just makes me think pedophile. xD That is all I have to say. xDDD

"Wha-?" Maxxie said as she heard the voice behind her. Was he there before? She couldn't remember. Maxxie was so confused as he slid infront of her in the booth. She didn't let her confusion show, that was one thing she had learned through a harsh lesson. She was wondering where he had come from and was sizeing him up as he talked. He was noticably older than she was, not in his teens for sure. He had a good-toned body. Then she heard him and in the back of her mind something clicked. She turned her attention to what he was saying as he said "Actually, you've been under pretty close surveillance since one of my Scouts spotted you. I congratulate you on your win, child. It was a very good fight." At just that moment she wanted to kill him with everybone in her body, and she had no clue why.She calmed herself quickly and tried to think rashonably. ' If he wanted to kill me he would have done it by now. I certainly had no clue he was there. Maybe he can be of some use...Then again maybe not... Whats it going to hurt to play along?' "Well, may I ask why you have been keeping an eye on me and what fight you scouts saw?" She began smileing sweetly and picking up her cofee and takeing a sip then setting it down. She leaned back and folded her arms across her chest, waiting for an answer. OOC//: Its only four years, Maxxie will live

Rohjyx leaned back in his chair and smirked to himself as he remebered the fight his Scout had relayed to him. It had been quite the fight and she had done exceptionally well considering the conditions. "Ahh, why have I been keeping an eye on you. It is simple, dear child. I always keep an eye on those who prove to be above the standards of our kind. I like to know who I may and may not be able to get on my side." He paused, smirking at her. "As for the fight, it was a little while back. I'm not quite sure if you would remember it." He heard the sound of the door opening and closing and instinctively, his eyes shot over to the door. Just a new couple coming and a few others leaving. He turned back to the girl. "You were outnumbered by a few of the stupid wanna-be gangsters. You took care of them fairly well, I must say. And I assure you, I do not give out such praise often." He paused again, looking around. Flagging down a waitress, he quickly ordered a glass of water - no lemon, of course - before turning back to the girl. "I seem to have forgotten my manners," He began. "I am Rohjyx and it is truly a pleasure to finally meet you. May I inquire as to your name?" He already knew her name, of course, but it was better not to let her know that. He knew from past experiences that it was better to not let them know just how much one actually knew about them. He was very thorough in his research. It benefited him to be so. He offered her a smile once more, almost purely to ease the new people who had come in and were now wondering about them. 'Nosy fools,' he thought viciously. 'You fools have no clue how swiftly I could gather your entire life's history. Absolutely no clue how swiftly and easily I could do away with you... And no one would ever know I had done it, either.' The last part of his thoughts brought a malicious smirk to his lips, his ice eyes gleaming coldly. Oh, how he would love that. It would make his day. Rohjyx mentally punched himself. 'I told you,' he snarled to himself. 'No thoughts of killing! It's the wrong mood for recruiting new Shifters.' He added scathingly. He quickly returned all of his attention to the girl, hoping he hadn't missed anything. OOC||: lol Good! *keeps thinking of Rohjyx as a pedophile* xD Sorry, but it's just one of those things that go away easily. xDD

Maxxie sat in her seat as still as a stone while he talked. She was a curious child and it would get her killed one day.
"Ahh, why have I been keeping an eye on you. It is simple, dear child. I always keep an eye on those who prove to be above the standards of our kind. I like to know who I may and may not be able to get on my side." At this point Maxxie felt like someone had lit a fire inside of her. She didn't like the idea of being watched for a side.
"As for the fight, it was a little while back. I'm not quite sure if you would remember it." 'Try me' She said mentally but somethng told her that she wouldn't like hearing what he had to say.
"You were outnumbered by a few of the stupid wanna-be gangsters. You took care of them fairly well, I must say. And I assure you, I do not give out such praise often." Maxxie let out a gasp as her head started feeling like it was going to split in two.
"No!" She said grabbing her head. 'Not here. Not now. Maxxine calm yourself!' She thought knowing that it was no use. She picked herself up and ran outside. She kept running until she got to an abandoned alley. She sat down on the wet ground and blacked out.
As Maxxine gained control Maxie's body began to change. Red fur covered the body and hands and feet turned into paws. As she transformed Maxxine ws fumeing mad. 'How could this be happening? He wants a fight it's a fight he'll get!' She let a low growl come from her throat. She was ready to kill anyone that came in her way. " Ok, come on big boy lets see what you got." She said madly waiting on her victim to come.
OOC//: Ok, I know Maxxine wants to fight but please don't kill her XD I need Maxxie! She is my only character at the moment!

"Now, now! No need to get so raving mad. I am merely talking to you." Said Rohjyx, the panther's icy eyes snapping open in the shadows of the alley. Poor Maxxie could not have chosen a better place for him. He thrived in the shadows.
He ignored her growls, and slipped silently out of the shadows beside her. It would do him no good to make her not only enraged, but scared as well. He had no intention of fighting the husky.
"You are Maxxine, are you not? I have done research on both you and Maxxie. You are the side that my Scouts noticed fighting." He said, a deep, rumbling purr in his rough voice. He stayed where he was, not moving more than his tail - which was swishing back and forth behind him - and keeping his head carefully lowered. He would not leave his neck open for her.
OOC||: XD I won't kill her, I promise! xDD

"Yes, I am Maxxine. Maxxie 'bred' me if you will when she saw her brothers fighting for their lives." Her growl rumbled from her chest. She was not going to tell more than she thought he already knew. 'He knows too much already!'
Maxxine glared at the panther. Her want to kill him was over whelming yet she knew that this creature could kill her faster than she could bark. "When she 'bred' me I was here to protect her from things she couldn't handle. Emotionally or physically. I take the form of her Shapeshifting side because it is the strongest."
'I need to protect her from them... but who can protect her from me?' She thought. A memory flashed through her mind of the aftermath of her first fight. She was torn and bleeding with wounds thicker than her fur. She limped away from the bodies of the dead ones to a alley. She was in so much pain. When Karrie awoke it was more pain than she could handle on her own. she wound up going to the doctor and getting medicine and stitches. She was so scared... 'And I couldn't help...because I had done it in the first place...'
She hadn't noticed that she had stopped growling. She now sat on the ground looking in a still puddle. Maxxine looked up at Rohjyx as it started to rain...

Rohjyx listened patiently as Maxxine confirmed his suspicions and even went on to tell him about how she came to be. 'Well, that explains a lot. I had figured she'd been born with split personalities.' He thought with mild surprise, the emotion not showing in even the slightest twitch. He already knew about the incident where her brothers lost their lives, so it came as no surprise when she spoke of it being the trigger that caused her to come into existence.
He coolly ignored her rumbling growl, not fazed in the slightest, and even fought the urge to smirk at the murderous glare that shot at him from her eyes. She was infuriated, to say the least.
And it amused him to no end.
He wasn't even slightly afraid of her. He had learned not long after he joined the military that in order to fight properly and effectively he had to stay calm and keep a level head. That being said, he tended to stay like that; although, he did have his moments where he exploded in a blind rage and murdered whatever was in his sight as painfully as he could in a short amount of time.
However, he would not allow now to be one of those times. He wanted Maxxie alive, and he would keep her alive. She would be a wonderful asset to the Assassins, should she decide she wanted to join.
He blinked in silent surprise as he suddenly realized that she was no longer growling and was even sitting back on her haunches, looking depressed. Subconsciously, he had noted that she had shifted positions but on a conscious level he had noticed nothing.
Tilting his head to the side slightly, he stared at her through slightly less guarded eyes and felt a slight twinge of sympathy. She reminded him of one of his nieces, who was a quiet, shy little girl that loved her family - him included - dearly. Because of that resemblance, he let a low, comforting purr resound from deep within his chest. He sat down as an added precaution, just so that she wouldn't mistake his purr for a warning to an attack.

Maxxine looked at Rohjyx, her eye’s were shining. ‘What does he want? Why is he still here?’ His deep purr was reassuring that he had attentions on attacking her. Maxxine stood, her posture relaxed and comfortable. She was still ready if he chose to attack but not completely guarded against it. “What do you want from us? We have nothing that you would want. We have no home, thus we have no money. We haven’t started any trouble lately for you to come after us… So why?” She asked her voice low and clear but non-threatening. Her body was shaking as Maxxie’s will rose against Maxxine’s. It wouldn’t be long now before Maxxie would be here with this man. ‘ I have to figure out what he wants first. Make sure he wont hurt us more.’ Maxxine was fighting a battle that wasn’t doing her much good to fight.
‘Answer me and hurry damn-it!’ She thought desperately.

Rohjyx's purr didn't stop as Maxxine questioned him, the sound becoming amused. He had been waiting for that. Smirking as best as he could in his Shifted form, he rose to his paws and hopped onto a box, his tail swished from side to side slowly.
"Simple, I want to give you a place to live. You see, I'm the Leader of this Guild and I decided that, if you'd like, you can join. I take care of my members. I can give you a place to live, food, and anything else you could want." He explained, crouching.
Leaping off the box, he landed before Maxxine, bowing. "However, that is only if you want to." He added.
OOC||: Sorry for the shortness DDx My brain died (again) D;
