Manticore: Next Generation (O/A)

Elle looked over to the door. Curious, she got up and slowly walked over, looking through the peephole at the girl standing outside. It wasn't someone she'd ever met before, and no one who lived in her building. "..s**t." She said quietly to herself, noticing the girl's smug smile. Grabbing her favourite over sized sweatshirt and her purse, Elle went out onto her balcony and climbed down the fire escape stairs. Once she reached the street, she ran. As fast as she could. She didn't know whether the strange girl was from Manticore or not, ut she wasn't about to take any chances.

Teressa stood there for a moment before she heard a small uttering of a curse word and few russling sounds then nothing. Elle had decided too run eh? Teressa sighed her smile had then disappeared as she pulled the door open, breaking the lock. She really didn't care if any one saw her at the moment she needed that girl. And was ready to do anything to get her.

Teressa shut the door, well kind of. It didn't matter now though, she looked around the room searching for any clues as too where Elle was heading or where Amber was. After receiving no clues from the room she was angry, no furious! There was nothing there! Nothing too lead her anywhere! In a fit of rage she ended up destroying the apartment. Not like it honestly mattered there was nothing there but furniture and those things. After blocking the front door completely she run too the balcony and down the fire escape, and into the street trying too think of which way the girl had gone. After a moment of asking around Teressa was directed into the right direction and that was when she ran as fast as she could her heart beating fast.

If she could catch this one girl then she could finally have her revenge.

Don't try to run, don't try to hide. I'll find you I swear on my life.

Elle ran as fast as she could. She knew now that she could never go back to her apartment. Getting out of the city was her best bet. She ran down the busiest street she could find, dodging through people hoping she wouldn't be seen. Throwing herself down the steps to the subway, she fumbled in her purse for her railcard. She passed through into the station easily, running onto the train where the doors were just closing. Sitting down on an empty seat, Elle sighed. 'Maybe I'll be a little safer now.' She sat on the train, not knowing yet its destination.

((This is my last post now until Sunday afternoon/evening. Cause I'm not here today because of a friend's birthday. See you guys soon x))

Teressa say the girl board a bus, and she cursed to herself knowing that she would never be able to catch up now. "Dang it!" She yelled lifting her leg and pounding her thigh. She let her foot fall too the ground. Amber at least had too be somewhere. She needed Amber or that brat Elle who ran off. Some tracker not even able to catch the girl! She yelled to herself in her head as she wandered the streets aimlessly listening for anything about a girl named Amber or anyone of the trangenics.

Don't try to run, don't try to hide. I'll find you I swear on my life.

Amber

Amber walked down the street, one plastic bag in one hand and a brown paper bag in the other. She whistled softly to herself, the high collared sweater she'd put on covering up her bar code. She looked around her out of habit, making sure no one was following her. Until she caught a glimpse of the skin. Almost grey. With a greenish shirt over it. Her silver-grey eyes turned wide in fear. "Teressa. Manticore." She thought as she looked forward and walked faster, feeling her hair shift to a blonde. People stared at her curiously, watched her hair change right in front of them. She felt a tremor run through her body and closed her eyes, trying to stop it. All of the X-series had seizures. They needed Tryptophan, something their body didn't naturally make. So they either drank a lot of milk, or they took a vitamin whose main ingredient was Tryptophan.

Amber'd never given anyone her name out when she got to the city, after the Pulse hit. Everything was in disarray anyways. So who noticed a twelve year-old girl wandering alone down the streets? And who paid attention to the hospital gown material clothing that stuck to her body, clinging to her as sweat trickled down her face? She was sweating because she hadn't taken Tryptophan in almost a week. The seizures felt like they were getting worse until she first met Max. The girl was a couple years older than her. And she had several bottles of milk in a messenger bag around her shoulder. She gave one to Amber, letting the seizures stop. And they'd seperated, for both of their safeties.

There was no talk of the sort, Teressa angrily stuffed her hands in her pockets until she heard several gasps and whisperings. Something was up somewhere, her eyes wondered too a blond girl walking hurriedly. "Hey kid!" Teressa decided to follow the girl who was sweating, it was obvious by the light shine coming off her face. It would be easy to ask this kid questions and if she ra...well if gave Teressa something too chase for the moment. The woman almost hoped the girl would run just for the thrill of the game cat and mouse. Teressa enjoyed this game very much as she was always the cat and normally caught her meal.

Don't try to run, don't try to hide. I'll find you I swear on my life.

Amber

Amber ignored the woman calling to her from behind. She gulped silently as the sweat rolled down her face, making her hair stick to her skin. She acted as if she hadn't heard a single thing the woman said, as if she didn't exist at all. Even though it felt like Amber and Teressa were the only too people on the street. Slowly, to avoid being stared at again, she adjusted different things about her face; making her cheekbones less pronounced and her cheeks just a little chubbier. Her lips became fuller as her eyebrows thickened a little bit, her nose becoming more pointed. And, finally, her eyes turned dull grey, hiding the uniqueness about them. This way, if Teressa stopped her with force, she wouldn't be recognized. On the back of her neck, the bar code became duller, the flesh soaking it in until it was only a light grey on the back of her neck.

Teressa sighed and ran after the girl a little impatient to question her. It seemed that they where farther from each other than Teressa had thought. It took a moment before Teressa reached out and turned the girl too her, "Hey kid. I need too talk too ya. The names Terry." She said trying too sound friendly and formal but it was hard with her sinister high pitched voice that didn't match her face.

Don't try to run, don't try to hide. I'll find you I swear on my life.

Amber

Amber looked at Teressa. Her heart was pounding in her chest by now. She stared at the woman as she opened her mouth and spoke, "I'm Amanda. It's... nice to meet you, Terry." She said as she smiled at the girl. She forced an accent in to her voice. Irish. It made her sound nothing like she did at Manticore. Her smile was a little crooked, like it had always been, but her eyes were cold.

Teressa smiled trying too look friendly yet it looked evil. This girl couldn't be 'nice, friendly, or sweet.' it couldn't happen. She was indeed a true Manticore.
"Cool Amanda, I've got a very important job to do and I was wondering if you could help me. And don't worry it isn't anything big I promise." The girl would help Teressa in some way if she knew what was good for her. Where could that Elle girl be heading? Where was Max, and where was that little brat Amber.
Her eyes narrowed slightly at the thought of the girl little did she know that she was in reach...if only she knew.

Don't try to run, don't try to hide. I'll find you I swear on my life.

Amber

Amber smiled at Teressa. "Oh! Of course! What is it I can help you with, Terry?" She asked excitedly. All the emotions were faked. But she was good at it. Deception, fighting and blending in. All of them easy for her. Along with the occasional thievery with Max. The smile on her face broadened as she stared at Terry. It was rare to be this close to someone she hated so much. Teressa had lost in a fight against her, one that the damn Manticore tracker had started, and seemed to hold a grudge against her. "Sore looser, that's what you are, 'Terry'!" She said mockingly in her own head, wanting to scream the words in the stupid woman's face.

Teressa looked the girl over surprised by her eagerness. The girl seemed familiar yet the manticore had no recollection of the face, or voice. Teressa looked at her again, it was the way she carried herself...
"Well, Amanda I'm looking for a couple of people one called Amber, and another Max but I highly doubt you've seen Max." she mumbled the last part to herself, Max wasn't there that she knew of but still on with the questions.
"Amber is about your height and weight, but her hair is black and the girl doesn't have an accent. Have you seen? It's important I find her soon."
((-sniff- Ambie is so mean!))

Don't try to run, don't try to hide. I'll find you I swear on my life.

Amber

Amber smiled as she nodded. "Mhm! She's a regular at Papa's shop. Godonite Butcher." She lied easily, continuing to smile. "And she always keeps her neck covered, though I don't know why." She leaned forward slightly, as if telling a secret. "I think she's one of those Transgeinc-thingys that's all over the news." She whispered, looking around with fake nerousness.

((But Ambie just hates anything from Manticore! It's not you, hunneh! -hug!-))

Teressa smiled and nodded, "She is. That's why I must find her. Do you have any clue where she is?" The woman asked bending her knees slightly too look the girl in the eyes as if communicating that this was very important.

Then she sighed looking at the girl her smile turning into a soft frown, "You seem so familiar Amanda. Have we meet before?"
(( Otayyy. Lol xDD))

Don't try to run, don't try to hide. I'll find you I swear on my life.

Amber

Amber shook her head, her pigtails dancing in the wind. "No, I don't know where she is. And I don't think we've met before. I just moved here a couple of years ago." She told Terry with a frown. She looked down at the watch on her wrist. "Oh! I have to go, Terry. I'm so sorry that I couldn't be of anymore help." She said with a soft smile before walking around the woman.
