Although with good intensions he couldnt help but think some bad ones. "Play along like you know the place." He whispered. He knew this dress was too much.. even for this alley. Taking off his plaid shirt, that was around his waist he pulled her along and placed the shirt over her shoulders. He turned to face her, in reality looking to the guy, his glare towards him in a warning to back off. Jace stood his ground, his eyes wandered down, observing the man. Pants higher than normal it was probably tight. A gun probably around the belt. "Come with me." He whispered and turned back around and took her hand pulling her around the corner. Out of sights of the guy.

"Whats a rogue to do with a bride in his hands?" He said to himself as he sighed. Looking back around the corner. "If we continue this way we'll be good." He said remembering the map his memory made from walking around the streets all the time.

(Im in class too xD)

Ana let the stranger lead her away and nodded when he said to act like she knew the place. Once they were away, Ana continued to walk next to him. She probably looked ridiculous in a wedding dress and a plaid shirt. "God I feel so stupid," she said looking at the ground as she walked. "I'm sorry you felt the need to help me back there. I shouldn't have ran away..."

[Solistic]

"Its alright, Where did you even run from? A wedding??" He said with a look of confusion and changed his mind. "Anyway.. isnt that uncomfortable? You wanna change or something. Theres nothing great on the streets but theres a couple of girls i know that can give you clothes." He said as he looked around the corner. "You probably would have been killed by him.." he said looking back at her. "I know im a stranger to you but whats your name?" He asked bedore saying his own. "Im Jace, or well you could call me jay." He said and continued to walk down the alley. She did look a bit strange to him, wedding dress, plaid shirt.. but it was the way to warn the other guy not to move in.

Anastasia sighed, knowing that question was going to be asked sooner or later, but she responded without hesitation, "My family was trying to make me marry a man I did not love." She adjusted the plaid shirt to cover a bit more of her dress but nodded. "Some new clothes would be great," she stated, motioning to her outfit with a slight smile. After learning that stranger, Jay's name, she decided it would be best to tell him her own. "Anastasia," she said, pausing for a moment, "Yeah, I know it's long, so just call me Ana. That's what everyone else calls me." Looking at her surroundings, Ana realized this was not the place for her, in the short time that theyd been walki g, she'd seen multiple homeless people. Have things always been this bad? Why aren't people doing anything about it? She shrugged off her thoughts and noticed she has fallen a bit behind Jace, but she walked a bit quicker to catch up to him. "So... are you pretty familiar with this part of the city?"

[Solistic]

"Your family does that? Geez.." he said as he continued just as he turned a corner. "Anastasia pretty name, fits you perfectly" He said as he put her name into his memory. Hearing her next question. "I've lived here my whole life, so yeah. I know everyone here and everyome knows me. Pretty quiet place if you dont screw up or something." He said casually in response. He made his way into a pretty run down shop, full of women's clothing with pretty good brands. He slowed down a bit as he was almost immediately greeted by a girl walking up to him.

"Jay your here?" The girl said excitedly. "Ah yea i need a pair of clothes for a friend of mine, happen to have any clothes that cpuld go well with her?" Jace said as he looked back at Ana. "Mhm! In fact the perfect ones. Come with me hun" The girl said and pointed to the changing rooms. Only to reveal a pair of nice casual clothing.

[catnip.]

Ana walked into the shop, a bit nervous because it was so run down. Because of her family, she only was allowed to shop at the high fashion, expensive stores growing up. As she walked in she was greeted by a bubbly girl. Her head turned in the direction of the dressing roon to see an outfit that she wouldn't usually wear, but she decided to try it on anyways. "Thank you," she said, giving a nod and walking into the fitting room tk get dressed. She closed the door behind her and looked in the mirror. She was a disaster. She sighed and carefully stripped from the wedding dress and Jay's shirt to get dressed into the other outfit provided to her. It fit her just right and did not look as bad as she thought it would. Fixing her hair a bit, she wiped the mascara from under her eyes and walked out. "So, what do ya think?"

[Solistic]

Jace had been catching up with her, as a long time friends of his. Her mood less pip and cheerful. "You heard about it right? The recent killings around here by fj21's. They're getting powerful its scary." She said with a grand sigh. Jace looked down to her. "Dont worry about it they will have their fall. Either by me or someone else. That group is too much." He said with an annoyed tone. "I saw one of em near here, so lock up early and go back to the group alright?" He said before finishing hearing Ana come out the fitting room.

"Its looks so good on you, your so pretty!" The girl had said after changing her expressions back to bubbly. "Well if you looked cute later ago.. I can't help but think your-" Jace had said before being rudely interrupted by a jab in his ribs by his friend. "Ow.. Why'd-" he said annoyed and looked over to her, immediately shutting up. As she glared at him. "Looks great to me." He said, before rubbing his ribs quietly. "Do you wanna go back or you wanna go eat or something?" He said looking at Ana.

[catnip.]

She gave a small smile at their comments then frowned when they mentioned going back. "Uh, I think I'll go with food. I can pay you for this outfit and the food if you want. I don't want to steal or take advantage, " Ana explained, knowing the feeling of being used just for her money. "I don't now this part of the city, but I'll take recommendations of where to eat," she said, curious to know more about this part of the city.

[Solistic]

He began to chuckle. "Silly if your in the right position you don't have to buy food around these parts, the best place is the incredible sandwhichs Fin makes! Aint that right riley?" He said looking at the girl. -her name was riley- "let's get going he said while holding his hand out. "Everyone here, is friends with me for the past 15 years. We give, and give back when we need it." He said with a light smile. Mostly because he hadnt had parents and he ran from his foster home, he had been living on the streets since he was just a kid. He didn't like bringing up his past.

The mood of the room immediately changed when Jay started talking about his friends, it made Ana smile happily despite knowing that she'd have to return to her home sooner or later. She looked down at the extended hand and took it hesitantly, but she was happy that she did. "Well, lets go. I'm starving," she said, kind of jokingly. If she had gone through with the wedding, she would have been miserable at the reception, trying to fake a smile, but instead she had met these people and possibly made a friend or two.
