About
She stopped her walk in the misty alleyway as the man's voice behind her called out:
"Oh, you can't leave yet," his tone then turned malicious as he drew a knife from his pocket "the party wouldn't be nearly as fun without a precious body like yours around."
She smiled, then let out a short, yet cold laugh. "Okay, if you wanna play so bad, let's go."
She turned to face him, and the blood red brooch on her cloth strap that she called a shirt started to glow faintly. A black mist surrounded the two, and the sound from the cars in the street stopped. There was no noise form the apartment buildings they were between, the sirens of emergency vehicles stopped, he knew that they were the only two people there.
A faint purple light later, she had a giant shuriken mounted on her back and a scythe in her right hand. He tried to back away.
"Oh no, it's too late. You said you wanted to play." She took a step forward, and he ran. Down the alley, into another on the left. Adrenaline rushing through his system, he ran faster than he ever had before.
Even so, between fifteen and twenty feet into the new alleyway, purple and black flames flashed, and she was standing in front of him. He couldn't stop, not that he had time. With one flash, her scythe, he knew it's name, Purgatorio, descended upon him, leaving a mortal wound in his chest. It would kill him, if not instantly then through blood loss.
"You know why I hate this world?" She asked rhetorically as he fell into shock, "People like you. Who follow in the footsteps of Cain. Who kill others, be it for greed, pleasure, or vengeance. People who prey on those--"
And that was all he knew.
The police never found his killer. The investigation was dropped after two weeks, and picked up again when another victim was found. Both victims were known criminals. Murderers
