She was calm
Too calm

Xander took a huge bet in coming to the woods behind the Star club tonight. When he informed the others about their destination for the night he wasn't talking about the club itself but where it was situated and the things that go on in it. He wasn't sure whether to attune their target's actions with a sense of justice or just a personal hobby, but he wasn't about to go around guessing. While curious about her reason for her actions over the years, one certainty remained unchanged- she was dangerous... far too dangerous to be left unattended to.
They had arrived extremely early and each of them took blind spots for accurate surveillance and blended well with the surroundings, becoming unnoticeable as though part of the walls. Then they spotted her. It was easy; she drew attention despite her oblivion to it and aura which reeked of nonchalance and indifference, plus, she was still in her attire from early in the day.
Sending subtle signals to each other, they kept a close watch on her; determined not to let her slip away this time.
They watched her closely and carefully, trying hard not to alert her. It was quite obvious the woman was skilled and also sensitive to non casual surveillance as she gave not a single opening for action... then they lost her
"FUCK!!" Chase swore
Zane's teeth clenched in annoyance
"Let's spread out"
Charles shook his head. He was somewhat quiet tonight, way different from his outgoing personality
"That's not a good idea. She's certainly still in the area, possibly the woods or some private room. Having us all go different directions will be an issue if she's discovered us already "
Xander ran his hand through his hair
"Charles is right. While I'm 90% sure she's in the woods, you never can tell with this one. We'll secure the club perimeters first with a seal. Even if she manages to break it, we will have her imprint and locating her next time will be easier"
Chase and Charles worked on the seal while Zane and Xander did another sweep of the vicinity.
Star club, like the name was situated on a star shaped land plot in a basin which served as one of the boundaries between the world of humans and that of the night creatures. It is surrounded by dense ash coloured trees and filled with rogues and wild animal predators. The club's entrance is mainly underground and filled with many dangers still.
It was a little hard to locate their target, but the help of a sobbing terrified female human led them straight to her.
They were dumbfounded
A large horde of rogues surrounded a slender figure wielding a long whip and a gleaming katana. Moving with drunken grace and sharp lethality, she was the epitome of life and death entwined. Precision and confidence, arrogance and elegance, honed from years of practice and mastery. Each strike was flawlessly delivered, meant to take life within a split second without hesitations.
Four pair of crimson eyes watched the performance. Their muscles tense and coiled tight like a snake ready to strike. It would seem to an outsider that they were prepared to face the greatest battle of their life. Anyone who knew of their reputation would be quite shocked to see them in such states.
The opportunity came the minute the killing spree ended. A dart shot out from Zane's hand, followed by another, then more. The twins followed up with retractable daggers when she dodged effortlessly as they chased. The chase went on for a while longer but an opening finally arrived as the woman faltered, missing a step, and they closed in on her immediately.
Present
It was late in the afternoon now, and despite their target following them without putting up a fight, they'd progressed nowhere.
All they knew about her remained unchanged as the daring woman 'happily' fell asleep the moment she was cuffed and placed in the car. She had only woken up once to prevent anyone from touching and carrying her from the car and went back to sleep after being brought into a confinement room.
They had guards stationed at her doors and heavily around the room she was being kept despite the seal enforced on the room but it all felt like using a net to fetch water. All she did was sleep.
Finally, she awakened by 3:00pm and the four men filed in immediately.
Kauleen yawned.
She was in a much better mood after her long sleep. She had just finished stretching when the doors to the simply furnished room- white walls, a simple bed, two chairs separated by a table- opened up to reveal her captors.
She tilted her head.
Her adorable look would fool anyone on a normal day, but instead, they grew more alert. Her eyes curved in amusement.
"I'm hungry"
