Reputation and Surprises

Alex went to the local tavern to relax for a bit after doing his hunt for more than 2 weeks now. "Welcome~ You're here! The usual spot right?" Said the Waitress. "Hey, great job out there young man. Here its on the house enjoy it." Said the Bar owner. "Thanks appreciated." Said Alex as he sat down by the bar owner working space.

"With your work the streets has been more quiet than usual." Said the Bar Owner. As Alex drinks the people around the bar started whispering and discussing about him. "Hey isn't he the one?" "Yeah, he's the one who has been hunting hunters." "Kind of ironic right?" "Man, he hasn't broken a sweat too." Discussions that barely anyone hears but can feel it around the room. "Seems like you've collected quite a reputation here in this town." Said the Bar Owner.

"Seems like it." Said Alex as he feels a bit disturbed. "Something's bothering you young man?" Said the Bar Owner. "I feel like there's another one around here but I can't trace where this person might be." Said Alex.

"I see here have another drink to clear your head. Don't worry its not alcohol its for mind sharpness since its in the house. Good luck on finding that hunter." Said the Bar Owner. Alex drinks the tonic he was given and left the tavern after he had his mind clear up.

Meanwhile somewhere up in the rooftops...

"Seems like we have a sinner that has been righteous." as a woman stands up in one of the clock towers looking down in the people seeing him walk by. "I should help him in the correct path but for now I'll wait." Said the woman as she leaves the rooftop by hopping off.

Back in the streets on the other hand. Alex is trying to sense the next target as he picks them off one by one. The voices guide him on where to strike next and who to strike next. 'Kid listen to the screams if you have too', 'Why not try to smell the blood around?'.

'Wait I think I know where the bastard is' As Alex runs to a abandoned building where he finds 3 victims waiting to be killed as a the bastard standing there about to slice them off. "You got something coming pal." Said Alex as he about to throw his Axe. The Man looked back and before he could say anything his head was caught by Alex's Axe.

"That's what you'll get. Anyways any of you hurt? The guards are gonna come here so you 3 are safe now." Said Alex as he leaves the building with his axe with blood stains.

The next morning Alex tries to find a place to get some fresh air and he stumbles upon a church with a park next to it. He saw a nun watering the garden nearby but as he walks closer to it the nun notices and asks "Do you have business here kind sir?" Said the Nun. "No, actually I'm just here to get some fresh air." Said Alex in response.

"Oh I see there's a bench right over there its pretty breezy there hope you enjoy your stay." Said the nun. As Alex relaxes by the bench feeling the breezy air around the hill since this was the highest part of the town where its breezy. The nun began to speak to Alex "Never seen you around this part of town." Said the Nun.

"I'm a visitor that got invited to be here. I'm just taking a break since it was kind of tiring for the past days since I came here." Said Alex in response while continuing his relaxation. "I see you looked troubled though. Is something bothering you in those past days?" Said the Nun as she puts down her watering can. "Well you can say its just stress from working at night I guess." Said Alex as he sits upright.

"Seems very tiring. What do you do for work then?" Said the Nun. "Well I'm part guard duty in this town right now. Say why are you asking me questions?" Said Alex as he looks at her. "I know the people of this town and you're a new face around here so you must have been very tired from this kind of work since you came here." Said the Nun.

"You've been oddly looking at me closely. So of course I would be concerned too anyways since we're here I'm Alex." Said Alex as he opens his hand for a handshake. "I'm Sister Fio I'm one of the Nuns that take care of this park." Said Sister Fio. "I see you've done well keeping this park clean." Said Alex.

"Thanks its rare for people to stay here for a while so its been nice talking with you I have Church duties." Said Sister Fio as she leaves. Alex finally has time alone so he collects his thoughts again. 'I can feel the target will come here at night', 'Yeah I can sense it', 'Seems like a creep for me the target has been coming back to this place every night' Alex decided to go back to this place at night

That night...

Alex sneaks up in one of the trees by the hill side to check the area and he saw a man there with a victim tied up. Alex hesitated for a bit just to check if he has company and he took a bit while slowly walking to his position. As Alex is about to attack the man got jumped and was killed in front of Alex. "That's finally the end of you." Said the unknown person.

Alex was a bit pissed as his target was stolen from him he gets closer to the place without getting noticed and he saw a woman in a black outfit removing the knife she used on the target from his neck. 'Kid don't mess with her', 'I wouldn't fight her if I we're you'.

'Not even me kid' Said the voices Alex was confused so he decided to walk to the person and question about stealing his target. "Hey that was my target...?" Said Alex as he was surprised the person who stole his target was a woman. "What's wrong with that?" Said the Girl. "I guess things gets interesting in this town." Said Alex to himself.
