Beauty in Darkness

Lightning flashed, briefly illuminating the otherwise dark sky. Thunder followed, a cry shattering the silence, like the planet yelling out in pain. Then the sky shed its tears, letting its waters cascade down and flood the streets. In mere moments the city became soaked. Concrete grounds went from grey to brown as the liquid seeped into it. Citizens started rushing, trying to get indoors as quickly as possible. Or at least all but two did. The duo kept walking at their current pace, ignoring the torrent of rain crashing down upon them.
One followed the other, eyes narrowed into thin slits, filled with rage. Meanwhile the other moved slowly, oblivious to his follower. Another flash of lightning became visible, hitting a nearby power conduit. The explosion knocked a few people over, likely severely injuring them. Both the girl and her soon to be victim went unhurt... but the power in the area was shut off, and all went dark. Screams were heard as frightened onlookers lost their cool, while others rushed forward to help those hit by the blow. While they cried Svarin smirked. There was beauty in darkness.
For one, it made it easier to kill.
Steel tipped boots hit the ground angrily, sloshing the gathering water. Whoever the man was, he was pissed. Perhaps at the rain. Perhaps at the slave he brutally murdered three blocks back. Whatever the reason, it mattered not. By the end of the night his corpse would be lying in a pool of his own blood, his body full of stab wounds and covered in cuts. Rin vowed to be the cause of his demise. The man could walk a thousand miles and her blade would still end up in his throat. They did not know each other. That didn't even come up in the echani girl's thoughts.
Svarin had watched him kill a slave. So she placed him on her to kill list. It was that simple, as it had always been. Usually the girl wasn't violent. Instead she was calm, observing a cruel world with indifferent opinions. But inside her she harbored much hate, mostly for those that had mistreated her in the past. Once a slave, always a slave. Though she was no longer bound to that life, no longer beaten and abused, the memories lingered. The hate grew with each act she witnessed. And now that the force was under her command (if only partially), she had made it her goal to eradicate those who had wronged her.
In her mind, the act of hurting one slave was close to hurting all others. Which meant that the man had injured part of her with his deeds. That warranted death, a slow and painful one.
"You made a mistake fool. Now perish." Rin's voice was different. It was filled with anger, almost shaking with how much she wanted to kill the man. Raising her right hand she unleashed the force, throwing him against the wall. No one was close anymore. No one would witness the fight. Well, murder. The man was barely able to fight back. Svarin had ran up to him as he slumped to the ground. In another second her sword was out and placed at his throat. Apologies and threats were muttered out as the male begged for salvation.
It would not come. A vibro-knife was pulled out, held tightly in her left hand. Agitation fueled her as she begin to torture the man, cutting at him slowly. When they were both soaked with his blood she relented and stopped. Now was the time for him to die. Four stabs were made, one into each limb, then another five to the chest. Then a quick movement was made, and his throat was effectively slit. Finally he was still, his muscles no longer twitching.
Her job done, the echani stood up and prepared to return to her apartment.

"You killed him too quickly," my voice rang out from above. Lightning flashed behind me, illuminating my silhouette and the dark alley below. The booming clap of thunder came swiftly after.

I stepped from the roof into a languid fall, landing gracefully in a soundless crouch. I'd been following the girl since I'd glimpsed her face amongst the city's bustling crowds, intrigued by our similarities; fascinated, even. A thin scar across her eye highlighted her beautiful features -- features that matched my own.

There were small, minute differences, noticeable only by close inspection; my chin was slightly sharper, my hair several shades darker; her nose was just a touch longer, and her eyes were a brilliant, silvery blue. My own eyes had, since embracing the Darkside, faded to a furious yellow the color of pale fire. They shone with an unholy fervor, revealing the blackness of my soul, hidden behind their depths. I reveled in pain and hatred and anger, just as much as I reveled in pleasure and passion. It showed in the curve of my smile and the tilt of my brow.

Rain made my cloak hug my figure, loose hair plastered to either side my face. I wore no hood. "Death is a precious gift," I purred, stalking closer. I was much taller than her, but also thinner. As far as Epicanthix went, my form was typical. "He didn't deserve such a reward; not so soon." I could still taste her anger lingering in the air, sense it resonating in the Force.

It was delicious.

"You killed him to quickly."
It was almost like looking in a mirror. For that very reason the echani took a step back, stunned momentarily. Then she blinked. Once. Twice. Three times. The form in front of her did not disappear. Taking in all the details Svarin wondered if the woman was just a manifestation of the dark side of her personality. That would explain the similarities, along with the piercing yellow eyes. But closer inspection proved her theory incorrect. Whoever had witnessed the murder was alive. Fully sentient, no doubt, and a likely threat.
However the girl was not scared. Instead she stood straight, reaching her full height. Which was (annoyingly) shorter than her carbon copy. Blue eyes looked over the woman again, scanning every last inch, noticing things so many others would ignore. Finally the minute pieces found their way into the gaps, finishing the picture. The woman was taller, thinner, darker hair, shorter nose, sharper chin. Most of all it was the yellow eyes. Something about them seemed... unnatural. She was not born with them. What little Rin knew of the force made her think that perhaps her new 'companion' had given herself to the dark side of the force, sometimes known as bogan.
"Death is a precious gift. He didn't deserve such a reward; not so soon."
With that the unknown woman stepped closer, a dark smile slipping onto her lips. Every instinct told Rin to be afraid. To run, to go and find Domino-san's workers and leave with them. A flick of the wrist and a sharp intake of breath later the urges had resided. This was not a time to flee. Something could be made of the encounter. Whether it was an ally, or merely experience, it mattered not. Echani don't back down. Or at least that's what she told herself.
"I did not have the time; nor the patience. He was bleeding out. The fool would have died soon even if I had not slit his throat. And there is no place for me to bring him to torture for longer. Nowhere to heal him only to beat him once more."
Fingers and hands moved quickly as Svarin communicated. Speaking out loud was rare for her, so she resorted to sign language and written words. If she had to she would talk, but only briefly. There were only few she considered worthy of wasting her breath on. It was true she had spoken to her victim before his death.... it had been to explain to him why he had to be punished. To let him know that his crime had been witnessed. And to let him know what Chaos sounded like.
Not everyone knew sign language. So Svarin turned her back on the newcomer, using the man's blood to paint her words on the nearby wall. Even after that there was plenty of the crimson liquid left. Perhaps even enough to finish the conversation- if there was more to be said, that is. After the last red letter was finished she turned back, crossing her arms over her chest. Still the rain pounded down around them, making her hair stick to her scalp. Words would have to be read quickly, less they be washed away.
