Nick finished what he was doing in the bushes and then zipped up before headed back towards Amira. He grimaced when he saw her kissing the crow that landed on her shoulder. "Y'know those things carry diseases right?" He nearly tripped on a loose rock and only just caught his balance. Slightly embarassing there... He continued towards Amira and came to stand before her with his arms folded. He turned to look off into the distance. "I'm a cage fighter." He told her. "I fight other creatures for money. It's a pretty good living. Sometimes alotta money changes hands when people bet on my fights. I guess mister ugly lizard musta bet on the wrong guy. Then came after me for revenge." Nick grinned as he turned his gaze to Amira. "Got an undefeated record going now of 19 bouts."

Buddy hist at Nick then flew up into the tree tops above them. Amira watched him fly away then looked to Nick. "He doesn't like anyone," she said and she turned and started to walk, "It sounds like he is after more then just revenge. I think he wants to out right torture you with something slow and painful. Why else would he keep on with chasing you." She felt there was something more at work here. With him winning someone does want him dead but she thought it went to the big low down scum of the earth himself. "Who are you up against next Nick? In your fighting. Do you know?"

Nick shrugged. "No idea, I just get a text telling me when and where." He sighed and watched the bird rustling about in the treetops above him. Better not crap on me dude! Nick thought, remembering the bird doesn't like anyone. He started gathering up dry sticks and bits of wood to build a fire to cook whatever Amira got them for dinner...

Amira wasn't one for being shy. She had been around so many people. It came natural to her when it came to transforming. If she was to catch them something to eat she had to in her creature form. So she began to take her close off so she didnt rip them. It would be awhile before she would get some new ones so she wanted them to last. "When you get a text I want to be the first to know. From that I will go with you with a few others by my side to make sure nothing will happen to you during this next fight." She lay her clothes on a near by rock and looked at him. "I wont let anything happen to you." Then she turned and began to run and as she did she began to transform into her creature form. About 15 to 20 minutes later she returned with a deer in her mouth then transformed back into her human form and got dressed. "I will leave the cutting and the coooking to you." She smiled as she began to walked away again. "I saw a stream near by. I will take a short swim to get cleaned up. Please let me know when it is done." She walked away again towards the stream that was about a mile from where they were. She could see the smoke of the fire just fine from there. Doing what she did. Undressing she knew it would send him ideas but its not like she hadnt herself. She loved humans. It was what she was about. Maybe she sent him a signal or maybe it was because she wasnt shy. Either way she still knew his life was ahead of her own. She was brought to this world to protect them and that will never be forgotten.

I wont let anything happen to you
Nick was about to answer Amira's sudden pledge to keep him safe but didn't get the time to do so. He watched as Amira made her transformation and sprang off into the forest to find them something to eat. So now his life was being guarded by a hot lady who liked to throw off her clothes and go galavanting through the woods. Could be worse Nick grinned to himself and pushed dirty thoughts aside for now.
Nick used his lighter to set fire to the dry wood he had collected and had a pretty healthy fire going by the time Amira returned with the deer. Someone's got an appetite! He thought as he looked to the carcass then at Amira, who had just finished getting dressed and mentioned she was going to get a swim. "I'll whistle." Nick promised her before she left. He went about gutting the deer and cleaning out it's body with ahunting knife he kept in his pack. It was hot and heavy work and a short while later he was cooking strips of meat across a make-shift wire above his fire. He sat on the floor cross-legged as he watched the meat cook and send a lazy smoke trail into the air. He double-checked his phone but still no text to let him know the time or location of his next fight.
Nick decided it would take about ten minutes for the meat to be ready for consumption and started walking off in the direction Amira had gone. If someone or something happened upon their meal while they were gone and stole it... they would eat them instead! He had blood on his face and forearms from the deer and thought a quick dip in the stream would do him some good too. He came upon Amira's stream from above a short rise and saw her swimming through the water below him. She didn't seem to have noticed him yet so he grinned mischeviously as he took off his shirt and denims and dived into the water wearing just his boxers. He splashed noisely into the stream behind Amira and came back up to the surface laughing and running his fingers through his short brown hair. "Scare you?" He joked. "Food's ready!"

Right after he jumped in and had asked his question to Amira and before things were about to" Get interesting" the pile of clothes where Nick had his phone started to go off with the tone that he would know all to well for whenever a match came about it was always a text message from either the one he would be fighting or by someone who was setting it up and it just so happened that this time the message was coming from the fighter himself and his name was Wesker and he had sent a text saying"/ Hey!!! Nick....its an honor to be going against you...Ive heard about you and how you have...what was it...19 fights that you have won in a row....not bad but excuse me for saying that i'll be the one to ruin that streak you got! Because its officially ON! The directions to the area where the fight will be held are in the attachment that came with the message....See you there!"/ There was no doubt that Nick would know about Wesker and Wesker knew that Nick would not back down from a fight like this....a fight that would change both Weskers and Nicks life even more than they thought for destiny can catch anyone off guard.

Nick spun around in the water suddenly as he heard his message tone going off, it was playing prodigy's 'voodoo people'. "Looks like we're gonna find out about the next fight sooner than I thought!" He quickly swam to the shore and pulled himself up out of the water. His black boxers stuck to his thighs and backside like a second skin as he walked up the ridge to where he had left his clothes. He rummaged through his denims and found his mobile in the back pocket. He flipped it open and read the message. Nick scoffed but grinned good-naturedly. "Oh it's definately on, Wes." He dropped the phone and stared into his thoughts for a moment as he crouched there beside his clothes. Wes... a hard as nails Werewolf versus Nick, the human. It seemed slightly one sided but that had never put Nick off before. He heard Amira approaching and turned as he stood up to face her. "We better chow down then I'd better hit the gym. It's going down tonight. I'm gonna be taking on one of you guys... a werewolf!" He couldn't keep the excitement out of his voice...

Wes looked to his phone and smiled as he finished with the message and then he started to make his way to the building where the fight would take place...it was formed like a battle dome and in the center was a flat floor that was slightly padded and in random areas of the battle arena there were obstacles that could be used to climb or jump off of or whatever you wanted to use them for. Wes looked around and he cracked his knuckles and he smiled wide as he looked around and he saw on the outside of the battle area were hundreds and hundreds of seats and so he knew there would be one hell of a crowd ." this is going to be awesome!" His voice echoed as he yelled those words.

Alastair walked along the river. He looked completely out of time, given that he had a huge sword and a bow on his back and wore some sort of chain mail type armor, along with very outdated leather outfit. Included, however, is a more modern duster and fedora. Those look very new. Everything else looks older, though still well cared for.
He happens along Nick, who just dropped his phone. "Hello, there, Sir. Do you need assistance?"

What now? Someone else I owe money to? He felt slightly vulnerable stood infront of a fully armed stranger dripping wet and wearing nothing but his boxers. Even if the stranger only appeared to be offering his assistance. He shifted uneasily and turned his head to Amira. "You recognise this guy?"

Amira was pleased that they didn't need to wait around for the fight. Seemed her hunch was right though. Someone wanted this human dead. She had a hunch about that to but all in do time. Then smelling the deer meat she was indeed hungry and ready for food. She went under the water and came up in time to hear Nick's question. She turned and smiled. "Alastair." She sounded almost happy to see him. With everything going on now she did like to see old friends but now wasn't a good time. A sigh almost found it way out but then she remembered he owned her a favor. She hadn't took that upon him yet and with his magic maybe he would beable to her with the human.
Getting out of the water she walked up and hugged him. He was no stranger to seeing her like that. Then looking around she out her clothes and put them on. Turning to both men, she smiled seeing Nick fully dressed himself she walked to them. Hooking an arm with each of them she said, "We talk over dinner." It was pitch black by the time they got back to their camp. She took off some meat from then then for herself. Looking towards Nick she said" We'll talk about the fight in a moment." She turned to Alastair. "Now tell me. How did you get way out here because I thought you were doing ok." Silly thought for one to think of in Red Blood but he did have power. His magic spoke for him. Literally! Then when he filled her in she will ask her favor then go back to talking with Nick.

((AH! Must edit last post! You might want to make an edit to your post, Buck.))
Alastair turned to Amira. He took his hat off and bowed.
"Madame. Pleased to see you." He straightened and returned his hat to his head. "I would like to thank you very much for your assistance in helping me learn the language of this land! It has been much easier since." He smiled gently. "As for my availability, I was actually looking for you, seeing if you needed some help."

OOC: edited last post, cheers Torunescru.
Nick chewed on the deer meat and just watched the exchange between Amira and the stranger she had addressed as Alastair. He felt a slight pang of jelousy at their friendly familiarity between them, but tried not to look grumpy about it. He had wondered what Alastair wanted but it seemed he had sought Amira out to offer her assistance. Friendly people in Red Blood then, Nick thought, suprised. Where ever he travelled and whoever he met always seemed to be after something or trying to help themselves. Perhaps Nick just had the misfortune of running with the wrong crowds.
Suddenly feeling like he was intruding Nick stood up and started walking towards the trees. "Just going for a walk." He said and went off to climb a ridge that overlooked Red Blood City. He sat on a fallen tree and stared at the huge dome of the battle arena. For him little else mattered...

Wesker dusted his hands off as he looked around and everything was ready for the up coming battle and it would be awesome and there were people that had heard about it that were already making there way into the dome paying a fee so they could set close and Wesker knew that regardless of who finished in what place that each of them would be payed handsomely and that excited Wesker even more. He looked around and then because there was still a while before it would start and before the human got there he looked for a latter and then he climbed it and bad his way to the roof and in the very center of the roof there was a flat platform of which had a control panel on it so fighters could lowers themselves into the battle arena but he saw it as a perfect spot to warm up and get the blood pumping as he waited....patience was never a strong thing with Wesker.

"I am greatful for you being here. Honestly I was going to ask for your help. Someone is after this human and I want too..." at that moment Nick stood excusing himself and walked off. Amira wasn't happy with him. Someone wanted him dead and she didn't want him to learn her sight. She put a hand on Alastair's hand and said, "Something is bugging him. I want you to stay here until I get him." She stood and started to walk away then but looked back. "I am glad you are here." She turned and walked away. Few moments later she found Nick looking over Red Blood. It was a beautiful spot. She smiled lightly then walked over and sat beside him. "Its funny. All my life I have been trained to fight and protect. Never time to myself. This was what I am born to do." She paused taking in the view. "You were born to fight. I was think about you not going to fight. To say no but then I would be keeping you from your destiny." She looked over at him. "I can't do that to you Nick. You need to fight. To win your next fight because that is who you are and what your all about. So I will make sure its a fair fight." She looked back out over the city and put her hand on his. "I can help you practice too. I can transform and help you find the weak spots. They are hard to get to but it will help." She squeezed his hand a little. "You game?"
