Futuristic The Codes of Humanity

"The only place I know of is an abandoned building i hid in earlier, Its about two blocks away" Gazing around she looked stayed quieted listening for any hidden predators that may be around in hiding. It seemed safe for now, That being the key word.
 
Lightly sleeping, aware of multiple sounds that pass her ear. The tossing and turning she'd made, tugs at her hair before she sits back up to roll her hair up in a bun. Her hair out of her face and now protected, she's able to sleep more peacefully. Elle hugging her orb, tightly; not admitting her fear of the human world or even the Shade for that matter. Without the Code Complex, vulnerability painted harshly on her body. It's just one night out here. I'll find somewhere better tomorrow. More questions pop up as to how she would live and uphold a completely new type of living. Elador, protect me at my weakest. She soon falls victim to sleep as her body shuts down to repair. The orb glowing in a throbbing rhythm as time passes by.
 
"That sounds fine," he said. He hoped she wouldn't think he would try to do anything to her. He just thought sticking together would be a good idea. "Lead the way, if you so wish."
 
Demi gave a soft nod, Turning back in the direction she had come. It only took about ten minutes in order for them to return to where the building sat. Always suspicious but not truly too concerned, she made note to keep an eye on him, it wasnt like she could take care of herself if the time ever arrived to do so. "Here we are" It took a bit of effort with her small frame but she managed to move the large wood blocking the entrance without bumping into him.
 
Soon the noises faded into oblivion, falling deeper in her subconscious. Elle stood unhurt, her physical features were no more. A young girl appeared on a tricycle for the first time. Her light blue hair flowing in the wind as she plays along the sidewalk. The girl stumbles onto a pithole and falls in. Everything faded black until she found herself in a room. The girl looking in the mirror, touching the mirror examining as she chuckled.
 
Shura let her walk in first, then he followed, moving the wood back into place with ease. He looked around at the place. It would certainly do until a time came to find better shelter. "Looks like you're quite resourceful, he said as he rested his tombstone against one of the walls before slumping down next to it, sighing. Even though he'd basically been unconscious from the crash, he felt oddly tired now.
 
Damien wakes up, rubbing his eyes as he sits up. "What a good nap." He starts unzipping his bags checking to see if any of it's contents had been scavenged. "Seems everything is still here." He stands up and shoulders his bags onto his shoulders. "Time to go shopping." He looks down at his feet, remembering he has no shoes, tapping his right foot on the ground. "I should get some shoes first." He stretches as he comes out of the alley. "It's only appropriate after all."
 
Demi moved over to a borded up window, placing her fingertips against against the rough wood. It was cool against her fingers, just like the walls at the code complex. What exactly had happened, closing her eyes she leaned against the wall holding her body up as she grew more tired. Sleeping didn't seem like a logical thing to do at the moment, not when she couldn't feel safe.

He strolled down the streets, observing his surroundings. "Hm. Pretty nice city" He stops in front of a shoe store and reads the sign before going in. He looks around until he finds himself some converse and boots. "Ooo i like these." He picks up the boxes and walks to the clerks desk. "I'd like to buy these please." He reaches in one of the pockets of his bag and pulls out a $100 bill. "I'm sure this should cover it." He reaches over and grabs the scanner himself, scanning the items as he pushes the clerk back. "Have a nice day." He leaves the hundred dollar bill on the desk and leaves. Heading to the clothing store across the street carrying his shoes and bags. "I need to find a place to stay after this." He takes a deep breath as he enters the clothing store. "Alright. Only one outfit til i get a suitable place." He starts browsing, acting as if it was normal for him to be there.
 
Shura's eyes grew heavy as he sat there, paying little regard to Demi, he fell into a somewhat peaceful sleep. He dreamed of his days on the Complex and found that he didn't like them at all. He hoped he never need to go to a similar place.
 
Damien buys himself a muscle shirt and black jeans. He goes into an alley to stuff his new things into his bag and looks around. He exits the alley shouldering his two bags. "I need to go through the contents of what I've scavenged". He wanders around town until he comes upon an abandoned building. He observes himself and walks in thinking to himself. "Seems empty. Maybe i can go through my things in piece here while i figure out my next move. He enters, stepping carefully one pieces of glass, dirt and various debris, making slight sounds that echo through the building.
 
The mirror bursts into small pieces, throwing the little girl back against the wall on the other side. Within the mirror's contents depict a swirling vortex, twisting black and purple hues into nothingness. Footsteps thumping in the distance just before a loud wicked screech came about. The girl, unconscious with mirror shards lodged in her face and arms as she sits there; leaning against the wall. Black claws reach around one edge of the mirror frame, crushing the resistance of the wooden frame whilst it splits and bends to the creature's liking. Black smoking emitting from the claws as the wood breaks. A gruesome face appears from the vortex as its twisted neck surfaces. The beast crawls out, landing on the rug as it walks closer to the girl. Each footstep, burning through into darkness. Another comes out of the mirror to accompany the girl. One reaches towards her, before Elle suddenly wakes up to see herself under the bridge once again. The orb safely by her side as she rubs her head. How many more times will I have this dream? Shaking it off, Elle stretches and holds the orb as she stands back up. It was silent. Only a few cars roam over her in the desolate scene. She sighs then looks around; surely going back to sleep won't be as easy as it sounds. Elle walks over toward the sidewalk to search for resources.
 
Demi glanced toward the opposite side of the building, Although feint she could feel the presence of a new person in the building. Geeze, not even one night of peace? She stopped her thoughts before silently moving towards the door, Making sure not to make any nose that would wake up the one beside her. What was his name again?
 
Shura continued to sleep, which if he was awake, would have surprised him. He'd never slept so peacefully near anyone. Ever. When people were around he could not sleep; he did not trust them. He'd have wondered if he trusted her because she was a Code, like him? but that would not make sense. Some Codes feared him; some hated him - because he was one of the forbidden. He would then wonder yet again. If he felt he could trust her, and not because she was a Code, what would make him feel that way? Though Shura slept now, he would surely think of this when he awoke.
 
This was the last things she wanted, Her thoughts went to life at the Code Complex. She felt most comfortable there, even if she hated it with all her might. This could be a new start, I could actually do what I want, Make living as a normal person. Being a code caused hardships, But being a forbidden code caused more, not only to the ones around but mainly to the person themselves. Leaning against the wall, not wanting to leave the area near him, Demi waited just in case the person nearby came closer. If he is a person at all.. Her eyes wandered to the sleeping figure, curous of his code but had no intention to ask. She didnt want him to ask either.
 
Shura began to stir. Nothing had disturbed his sleep, but he was never one to need much of it. He wasn't sure why. As his eyes fluttered open, drinking in the little light of the night, he suddenly tensed. A thought occurred to him. He'd actually been sleeping. He could never sleep when other people around. His eyes darted, finding Demi quickly in the darkness. He looked at her curiously. He'd slept with her near him. What kind of woman was she? What kind of person? Shaking his head, he looked to her again, noticing her caution. "Is there something troubling you?"
 
Demi looked up at him quietly, He sure didnt sleep long "I felt vibrations from another in the building" She looked him over for a moment, giving a soft smile before closing her eyes. "You look better with a little rest" Had he worried about her doing something to him? Maybe she wasnt the only one who had issues with sleeping around other people. "Can... I ask your name?"
 
"Shura," he replies, "Matabei Shura, and yourself?" he asks. He glanced around. Now that he was awake, he certainly felt some presence. He wasn't sure what it was, but there was something - or someone in the building with them now. Shura snapped his finger, his tombstone reacting immediately, coming to hover parallel to his left arm. If something did happen to occur, he's be ready to equip it and fight.
 
"Demi" Trailing her prayer beads along her skin, she moved them up to her lips giving a soft kiss "Veranni Demi" Shura huh? she would be sure to remember that, He seemed to be just as tense as he had been. " He hasnt realized it yet.. you can calm down for now" Having the ability to sense things easily was rather helpful.. She would remember to be glad she had once been blind.
 
Shura nods, though doesn't exactly drop his guard. He wasn't good with being calm when there was danger around. He liked to be prepared, just in case he actually had to fight. Last time he wasn't prepared and he gets tossed from space down to earth. He certainly wasn't keen on anything even half as painful happening again. "It is nice to meet you, Demi," he responds, wondering briefly if he should chance asking her of her Code. He figured he would find out sooner or later, but... was that a good thing?
 
He was tense, but she could understand why. Standing up she moved over towards the winder, walking past Shura at the same time. She felt oddly comfortable around him and that wasnt a good thing. His code, She truly was curious and although she would probably end up regretting it she was bound to ask sooner or later. "It is a pleasure to meet you as well Shura"
 
He turned to her, his eyes softening, though he didn't smile. It wasn't something he had gotten used to yet. "I do hope morning comes soon. It would be in our best interest even now, I don't think the authorities have stopped looking for us and if a Shade attacks, like they seem to enjoy doing at night, we would be discovered."
 
"Your code...." Her eyes glanced up at him for a moment before looking down. She couldnt get herself to ask him, wrapping her beads around her arm, Demi glanced ouside a while in the bored, It was quiet outside. "If you want to stick together... lets leave at dawn" her voice was quiet slightly embarrassed about her lack of communication skills.
 
Shura nodded carefully, he didn't mind sticking with her. He found her calming. Unfortunately, he wasn't sure if she'd want to stay with him much longer. He'd heard what she said before her talk of leaving at dawn. If h told her, would she leave? He did not know, though he was about to find out. Steeling his nerves, he spoke. "You - wish to know my Code?"
 
His words had caught her by surprise, yes she did wish to know his code but tat the same time she was afraid of his reaction when she told him hers. Thinking back she remembered when he had watched her, it was noted that he had already figured her a fragile girl. Giving a slow nod, Demi bit her lip as she stood in front of him, her curiosity growing, she was curious about him. "Y..yes.."
