Dust clings with desperate fingers, clawing at dark clothes, settling into fiery hair. Disgusting. Filthy. A shower will be needed, if only to wash the dirt from beneath her eye patch. Funny how even the shielded wound attracts the grime, beckoning it with an alluring call. The phantom sensation of something in her eye rises and falls. Searing pain follows, then snarling. Metallic clangs come to a halt at the sound and the woman bristles, idle arms crossing over her chest in irritation. "Keep moving." She is harsh, cold, commanding. The Metagross continues, then, with one last concerned look crossing its features.[break][break]
She comes for steel, for iron, for the forged and sculpted. The cave crawls with them, drowning out those that nestle into dirt and housing the crafted, the metallic. Some people pass as she moves deeper into the depths, parting to make way for the iron maiden. She is focused, resolved, steel-willed. She stops for no one and no one stops for her.[break][break]
Some stare, curious eyes roaming her face. They always linger on the missing piece, the black void, the secret wound kept sheltered from prying eyes. Some days she's brave, confident enough to show off the masterpiece, ripped flesh on open display. Days like today, however, she hides behind the eye patch and her cold demeanor, gnashing her teeth at those that gawk. It's funny how they startle, squeak and squeal like little mice in the hands of a cat. Always scurrying away, afraid of the backlash, of the mechanical beast in a girl's body.[break][break]
They're right to be afraid, perhaps.[break][break]
"Stop," comes the barked command, rising above the sound of metal claws digging into solid ground. The Metagross halts, crimson eyes peering at her through the darker light. They are deep enough now, away from the prying eyes, away from the masses gathering around an ancient mural. Silence swirls around them, eerie and still. She lies in wait, singular blue eye watching, waiting for the first sign of steel to appear.[break][break]
She'll move, then, as sharp and calculating as the path of a bullet.
