It's well into the night before she finally snaps at my constant questions.
"It's nor like I'm going to live long so why would I care?!" She screams her constant teasing smirk finally gone from her face.
I tilt my head. "Now why would you be dying soon?" I ask finally understanding a bit on why she approached me. *people who feel they have nothing to lose will not fear in normal ways.*
"Tsk I didn't approach you to rope you into my problems. Just mind your damn business. I can handle my own shit." Her bluntness still present as always.
"Well that last sentence was a lie as you've obviously accepted your death, and don't feel the need to fight back." I say with a small smile just pointing out a flaw in her logic.
"What else am I supposed to do? Huh I can't run I've tried that. I can't hide I've tried that. No one can help me. So just mind your own business." She sais a frown appearing on her face a genuine frown for the first time.
"So logically it's a person or organization of some kind. If you tried running from it, it's not a sickness. Hiding being a failure means they have resources and means to find you. No one willing to help you means this person or organization has a reputation. So how am I doing?" I ask my smile widening a bit more. *I forgot how fun this was.*
She looks at me with wide eyes for a second then starts to laugh slightly. "You were supposed to be hot and dumb you know that?"
"Ah I apologize would you rather it?" I ask with a slight head tilt. my normal smile now on my face.
She just laughs and shakes her head. "So why are you asking all this? Do you want to help?"
I just nod and smile widely. *it's been a while since I killed. Oh how I miss the feeling.*
"I don't like that smile for some reason. It looks all innocent but it doesn't feel like it." She sais her eyes narrowed slightly.
*she's got good instincts. I think I'll make her mine. Oh I knew accepting her offer was a good idea She reeked of vulnerable.*
"I'm just glad I get to help. I have to pay back the clothes somehow and I'm dirt poor right now." *best to redirect focus.*
"Your poor? Surely you come from a rich family?" She sais as she eyes me as if searching for signs of wealth.
"I guess you can say I come from a rich family. I just don't have much ties." *heaven is loaded after all.*
She nods seeing I'm not lying. I use this to breach the main subject again. "You still haven't told me who or what is threatening your life."
She just sigh annoyed that I remembered. "It's a casino but it's also a front for the mafia. I owe them money I can't pay. So they are coming to kill me in like 2 days if I don't pay."
I blink for a second. "Is that all? You had me worried someone put a bounty on your head or something."
Her eyes widen at my words the she clenches her jaw in frustration. "Are you stupid? I said the mafia you have no idea what they're capable of."
I grin a bit more and completely ignore her words. "So what's the name of the casino?"
She pauses then deflates like a balloon. "It's called the apple seed casino. Something about they are the future of the city."
I just nod. "So here's the plan I'm going out for the night. When I return in the morning I'm going to fuck you. then I'll go rat hunting. Sound good? Great see you in the morning." I say without giving her a chance to talk I then stand up to leave. As I'm leaving I hear a stuttering mess behind me.
"W-wait y-you can't just-
I was already out the door. I then activate [ID create: zombie]
As soon as I do the hotel hallway became completely silent except for the occasional groan. A zombie stumbles down the hallway. It spots me and starts shuffleling toward me.
I just put a light beam between it's eyes and it turns to dust immediately.

Ignoring the pop ups I burst put of a window into the open air using my wings to stabilize me. *these things are convenient. I can hide them to so they don't get in way. Marvelous design as well. Now time for a massacre.*
I fly to the ground and land softly. *let's use my fists and brush up on some martial arts. I was always one for knives though.* I shrug my shoulder and approach a group of zombies shambling toward me.
As the first get in striking range. I do a quick step forward and a simple jab. *it's head exploded?*
[You have received 20 exp]
I step back as the zombies lunge at me. One ends of tripping and falls face first. I stomp on the back of its head causing a slight indent on the ground.
*okay my body is way stronger than I thought it was.* I think in passing as I sidestep a lung and back fist it's head of its shoulders.
