She was running. She was running and her legs hurt and it sucked because there was only so long she could continue running but not running sort of equaled death. It was like an equation.

If running = staying alive than not running = not staying alive

David was heading home from somewhere. In fact, he probably wasn't even heading home. He was just wandering aimlessly, getting some quiet time to himself before he headed back to the empty apartment he was currently living in. Surprisingly, even there he wasn't alone. The sounds of the city tended to drown out the voices of his past in a way that a television set couldn't.

So he was wandering aimlessly, possibly looking for something to do, but mostly looking for the quiet, enjoying the dark and anonymity that only walking in the dark could provide. But it wasn't long before he heard the foot steps, and his eyes snapped to attention, searching out the source of the sound. It only took him a few minutes before he spotted a blond running in his direction, and it was only a minute after that before he recognized who it was.

"Ruby?"

Ruby looked up when she heard her name and almost fell down in relief. But she didn't because the if than running equation was still in her head. She wasn't supernaturally fast, it wasn't something she was gifted with along with eternal damnation in Hell. But she slowed down a little and wrapped her ice cold, and at the same time clammy, fingers around David's wrist.

"Running, David, we're running!!"

Running? Fantastic, he'd been starting to miss the running.

He followed her lead, spinning around as fast as he could and following after her, running as fast as he could to keep up. He didn't have much trouble -- he was still pretty much in shape -- but he still hung back from her a bit, throwing a glance back over her shoulder before turning back to her.

"What exactly are we running from?"

[im_notlikethem]

Rolling her eyes Ruby turned a corner and sagged against the brick wall of the building she'd stopped near. "Running is just a wonderful form of cardiovascular exercise."

She put her hands on her knees and ducked her head, wincing before pressing her hand to her ribs. It was bleeding but it would heal eventually, just not a quick as usual because they'd tried ripping her out of her body. It was very rude of them. "We're running from the hunters who want to kill me, David," she explained patiently.
