Aya is a young woman with a past. There's just one hitch: She doesn't remember it. After being temporarily released by The Gepard (German for Cheetah, because they are said to be as fast as cheetah when their prey is in sight), Aya doesn't remember a thing before Mark shakes her awake in the middle of the night to get her out of reach of the Gepard's claws. Now Aya and Mark are on the run, attempting to hide from an enemy that Aya is completely unprepared for.

Characters
1. I am Aya. No 'ifs,' 'ands,' or 'buts' about it.
2. On Mark: knifing n00b has volunteered to play him, but if anyone wants to play him full time rather than splitting attention between two characters as knifing n00b is doing, I am still accepting profiles for Mark. The only things I care about are his name, side and appearance, but whoever plays him can decide on the rest.
3. I need people sympathetic to Mark and Aya's cause.
4. I also need a leader of the Gepard and members of the Gepard. (you know, minions and stuff.)

Her eyes fluttered open as she noticed someone's hands on her, shaking her rather violently. She looked up into the man's eyes, and then she suddenly sat up. Sheer panic overcame her as a single thought overcame her: She couldn't remember anything before she woke up. She was about to scream, but there was such an urgency in the man's eyes that she stayed silent.

Mark wanders through the streets looking for a place to eat. Abel stood by the entrance of a local diner, rumored to have the best food that side of the capital. As Mark makes his way up the steps to the same diner, Abel approaches him. "Excuse me. Have you seen this girl?" Abel asked as he pulled out a picture of Aya. Mark stood there with a blank stare of disbelief. "What business do you have with her?" Mark fired back at Abel. "Oh so you know her? May I speak with her? It is urgent." Abel replied politely. "Sure, follow me." Mark replied instantly. Mark didn't fall for Abel's trick, but instead was playing one of his own. The two men round a corner into an alleyway. "This is a back way." said Mark as he immediately rounded another corner. As Abel rounded the same corner, Mark sprung out and bashed Abel in the head with a solid piece of metal he found.
"Aya! Aya! Wake up!" Mark exclaims as he shakes her awake. "We have to get out of here. Some people are after you, and, most likely, I as well." he said in a frantic rush. He didn't want to stay there much longer. He already had one run in with the Gepard.
Abel awakens, laying on the ground in some alley. His head was throbbing. "That little b*****d!" he said angrily as he rubbed a huge welt on the back of his head. "Looks like I can have fun on this mission.

Aya? But the urgency was still there, so she stood, suddenly wincing from pain in her ribs. Ignoring it, she followed the man out of the building and onto the street. The moon lit the town with a soft, bue light. She paused, but the hand on her wrist pulled her on into a run as the pair wound their way through the streets.

"I don't know why, but a man, in black clothes and white hair, was looking for you. I can only assume the he is one of th..." he stopped in the middle of an intersection. Mark reviewed every path before starting again down the one to the right.
Abel took to his feet and staggered out of the alley. "Now then, where to start?" he asked himself. He scanned the empty night time streets. He caught a fleeting glimpse of Aya, before she disappeared around a corner. Was that...? he questioned himself as he drew the picture from hi pocket again. Suddenly he took off in an all out run after them, but by the time he rounded the corner they were gone.

As they turned the corner, she thought she heard footsteps behind her, but she dismissed it as they kept running. Everything seemed so familiar, but it was as if someone else had experienced it. Some of the sights were expeted, but others seemed like they belonged somewhere else.

They kept running until the sights of the city died down into random little neighborhoods and small patched of trees. And yet they continued. Eventually, they turned and ran deep into a neighborhood. "Don't worry. I have a good friend in this neighborhood. We should be able to lay low here for a day or two." Mark said as they approached a wood, one story house.
"Damn, lost her." well she is most likely with this... Mark... guy. he thought as he pulled out a slip of paper with information of Mark on it. He is most likely going to find a easy place to hide. he thought once more as he reviewed the slip of paper. "Hmm... they probably are leaving the city and the closest 'friend' on this list live in a wood house in a neighborhood quite a ways out." he said to himself.
As Mark opened the door to his friends house, there stood Abel.
((scratch that))
Mark entered the house and set Aya on the couch in the living room. "Aya, Are you ok?" he asked.

As she sat down, her ribs began to hurt again, but the pain wasn't at the forefront of her mind.
"I'm fine. My ribs might be broken, but that's it. What's going on anyway? Why are we running?" Broken ribs? Why am I not more worried about them?

"What's going on... A group of people are after you. Why... I wish I knew." he answered he question completely overlooking the comment on her ribs. "... Wait, You think one of your ribs are broken? You aren't fine. We need to get that looked at once the heat dies down." he remarked as he realized what she said.
Abel began a slow confident walk down the road which would lead to where Mark and Aya were. He was in no hurry because he knew he would catch them. "Oh little gazelle, run, run as much as you like but you will never escape the Gepard." he chanted to himself as he wandered down the road.

"No, I'll be fine. If people are chasing us, then we need to get as far away as possible, don't we? I mean I know you said we'd be safe here, but it's only a matter of time before someone figures out where we are."
There were a few seconds of silence. She said:
"How many people other than this 'friend' know that you know someine here?"

"True, but I have no idea where to run to." Mark said in between deep heavy breaths as he recovered. His breathing slowly lightened as he sat down on the couch as well. "Actually my friend doesn't know we are here yet. He just said I could use his house when ever I needed."
