Korra tilted her head back to look at the Ticking Time Hotel. Rain fell heavily from the sky and steadily beat down on the pavement of the road. She was drenched to the bone and shivering as she waited for several cars to pass by before she ran across the street to the hotel. Ascending the steps quickly, she walked into the revolving door and walked around before she could enter the hotel. Hurrying across the red carpeted floor, she entered the staircase and started up them, her bronze steel boots thudding dully against the carpeted stairs.
Korra left the stairway as she came upong the seventh floor, hurriedly rushing down the hall. She wasnt looking as she ran into a man, making her stumble backwards but regaining her balance soon after. Muttering a sorry, she brushed past the man and pickpocketed him. Taking whatever she found in his pocket, she hurriedly walked off down the hall and turned the corner quickly.

A male walked into the hotel building and took an elivator to his room. He let his hands rest in his pockets and his black hair drape over one eye. He was around the corner slouching a little againts the walls. He watched closely,not trusting her much. He let out a tired sigh and closed his eyes. He was right across from his room,but he seemed hesitant.

Korra saw another chance at being able to steal something as she saw another man standing in the hallway. It was on the same side as her room so it was perfect. Brushing past him, she quickly slipped her hand into his pocket as she mummbled a sorry for needing to brush past him. Though she did find him rather handsome as his black hair covered one eye. Taking anything she could, she reached for the doorhandle next to him to get into her room.

He had quickly grabbed her arm. It was almost scary how fast he grabbed her befor she could go in. "Nice trick,little lady." He looked her up and down and chuckled. "You're a smart thief." He quickly but gently pulled her againts the wall and held both of her arms above her head. "You're quick too. How many years have you been a pickpocket?"

Korra scowled when he pushed her against a wall and she looked up at his eyes, a fire burning in hers. "A long time. Now let me go," she demanded. Without giving him a chance to do so, she put her feet on his stomach and shoved him away from her. Tearing her wrists from his hands, she fell to the floor as he was pushed away and she scrambled up. Once again going for her door and managing to get it open before she slipped inside just not being able to shut the door fast enough.

He quickly stuck his foot in the door and sighed a pained sigh. "You're a lot of trouble. Ugh...I just want my stuff back..." He looked down a small bit. "You took something important to me." He rested his hand on his stomach and stood up,his foot still in the door way. He was kinda use to being kicked in the stomach,so...it hurt but not as much as it could have.

Korra frowned at his foot in the door and sighed but she didnt let him in. Seeing there was enough space, she hooked the chain into the door so it wouldnt open all the way even if he tried. She shrugged at his request then turned and ran for the other side of the room. Throwing open the window, she climbed out onto the window sill and looked down into the fast, churning river behind the hotel and just a foot or so away from where she was at. Taking her chances, she held her breath and pushed off the window sill.

He made a cat like growl as his body shifted into one. He slid through the open crack and trotted Across the room and jumped onto the window. He looked down and looked sick but then looked up and jumped. His tail waved,slowing the fall down as he landed firmly on his paws. He looked around and avoided the cars with a greacful spin or two,looking for the female.

Korra had luckily landed in the river like she wanted to. Now she was swimming to the opposite side and barely managing to do so. Pulling herself up on the bank, she coughed up some water and shivered as the cold breeze made the rain pelt against her exposed skin. Then she pulled herself into the bushes at the top of the bank and coughed a couple of times before sitting there. The bush providing little cover from the rain.

He ran out of the road and saw her.
S-so close...but so far away...

He didn't care about a couple of bucks he had in his pocket,he cared about the now missing locket. He turned into his human form and looked at the water and the road. He couldn't swim,and he could die just going across the street. He yelled in anger and fell to his knees. He made a cat like noise and put his head down onto the pavement. He felt a soft object on his neck,then his arm,then something wet sniff his hand. He looked up to see three black cats in front of him. One jumped in the water and started swimming after her,the other ran across the street and made many cars crash,making like a path to walk across,and the last cat jumped on his shoulder.

Maybe...I may still have the locket in hand.

He ran after the cat that crossed the streets.

Korra finally opened her now freezing cold hand and saw a locket as well as a couple of dollars. Frowning a bit, she debated wether she should go back and give the man his lockett. It looked important and she wouldve but..she needed all the money she could get. So she pocketed it and crawled out of the bush, walking towards the ports. The airships came in there and if she could just steal a smal one that would be perfect.
After a few minutes of walking, she came upong the ports. Many airships were tied up and ready for flight but alot of people didnt like driving in the storms so they pulled into port.

The male had his name carved into the locket,and there was also another name,Anna.
He walked for miles fallowing the cat with another on his shoulder. Soon they came upon a cat soaked in water and shivering. He picked it up and sighed. "I guess we can't...get that locket back...it's gone." The cat they had fallowed looked down and started to walk away and the cat on his shoulder hopped off and fallowed. He still held the soaking wet one and started to walk somewhere else.

What now? It's really gone...

He was about to continue on untill he sensed something that made both him and the cat uneasy. He started to run again,getting closer to the airport.

Korra was shivering badly by now and she pushed her blonde, loosely curled bangs back away from her eyes so she could see. Then she took a running start and ran down the docks, heading for the medium sized one at the end of the dock. Jumping, she barely made it onto the loading ramp they had down. All the men except two were off the ship. As they saw her jump on, they started firing at her and she barely missed one though the other did hit her. Luckily it was only her leg they hit and not anyhwere vital.
Hissing as she sat behind the large box, she gripped her leg hard and blood oozed out between her fingers. She could hear the men getting closer and she took out her gun ready to shoot them once they got around the side of the box. Luckily enough, the ship was still docked.

The cat jumped onto his head as he approached even more. He started to get frightened even more while he ran. He found the ships and the cat jumped off and started to run beside him. He turned into a cat as well and started running even faster. His paws hit the ground in an odd fashion as a spark or two were seen from him. Same with the other cat but it was more of a blue spark. Soon as they had a good speed,lighting like energy surrounded their paws,his being green and the other cat's being blue. He jumped over the box and saw the girl. He got upset and stood behind her,lightning and all circling his and his friend's paws. Something that had spooked him was only his fathers dark energy. It consumed one person who was shooting at her and possessed him. It was now gonna be easy to run.
It was gonna be hard to kill a now super human with hatred for both him and the girl.

Korra gripped her leg as hard as she possibly could, trying to numb the pain there but only proceeded to make it bleed harder. Shivering pretty badly, she blew out a deep, slow, calming breath to calm her body down. The one sailor that wasnt possessed came around the corner and she shot him down. Jumping however when two cats with lightning around their paws jumped over the box. Frowning at them, she then looked away and could hear the other man coming but something felt...off about him.

One cat turned into a human and was crouched down. He growled to her and put his hand over hers and sighed. "I would suggest you give me that locket befor it is too late." He panted a little,his eyes full of rage and his hands tense over hers,but they were warm. He didn't look like he would hurt her,but he looked like it was a complete emergency.

Korra winced as the man from before put his hand over hers. Then shakily and quickly fished the locket out of her pocket and shoved into his hand. "Saves me the trouble of returning it..." she muttered and hissed as she moved her leg slightly. She had been shot before but it wasnt in the leg so it didnt hurt as bad. Looking around quickly, she was looking for a way to get to the captain's quarters of the ship.

He smiled and sighed of relief. "Your choice has sealed your fate." He opened the locket as a small sized grid was seen. He started to tap on it a few times and smirked then closed it and put it in his pocket. He knew he couldn't handle the possessed male,so he ran around the ship and found a way to start it up again,but he couldn't drive that thing. He threatened the captain and the boat started to move. He soon went back out to find her and he tore his shirt and wrapped the cloth around her leg then He put his black jacket over her. The cat had calmed down and was sitting on his shoulder.

Korra looked at him clearly confused as he said she sealed her fate. Watching him, she frowned slightly as she watched him tap on the grid in the locket. Then she opened her mouth to protest as he got up and left her there but she decided against it and shut her mouth. Blushing slightly as he came back ripping his shirt open. Wincing and hissing as he wrapped it, then softly sighing in relief at the warmness of his jacket. Her eyes involuntarily trailed down his chest and stomach that were well muscles but not too much. A small blush ignited along her cheeks and she looked away, hoping he hadnt seen her look. "What do you mean i sealed my fate? I dont have a fate," she asked then muttered.

He smiled. "You shall see what I mean soon enough..." He sat next to her and panted. He had a tired look and the chain of his locket hung out of his pants while he slowly closed his eyes. He was a nice man. He was someone you could leave a piece of gold in front of without him stealing. The only thing you can't leave in front of him is food.
