The first time I saw her, the bright neon lights were reflecting off of her skin tight catsuit like a kaleidoscope. When she moved it was like watching a panther take flight. Sleek, black and deadly, her guns blazing a trail of destruction tearing apart the creatures she was hunting.

It made my breath catch as I watched from the shadows. Ducking back when a splash of hot blood splattered against the brick wall beside me. I’d never seen such unbridled violence, and it was making my heart race.

She turned towards me then, her eyes the same brilliant blue as one of the glowing tubes of neon. Her lips were pale, pink and barely covering her own sharp teeth as brushed them over the back of her sleeve to wipe the werewolve’s blood away.

Her gun is aimed at me in a fraction of a second. I can see her trying to decide if I’m friend or foe. I don’t wait to find out. Raising my hand, I send her flying backwards into a heavy cement column. She hits it hard enough for it to crack and chunks of it fall to the pavement besides her fallen body. But before I can approach, she is getting back to her feet.

“What are you?” she hisses as she aims at me again. This time she doesn’t hesitate, and I am forced to block her bullets with my power.

“That’s for you to find out,” I said in a whisper as I let the bullets fall to the ground before flying out into the night sky. “If you can catch me.”

Chapter: 2/7

There is safety in numbers, or at least there’s supposed to be. I don’t like crowds. All those people bumping into me, the way their bodies warm the air with their smells. I’d have built a shell around me to keep them away, but that would make it too easy for the hunter to find me.

I’d dropped down from the sky into the huge crowd of people emerging from one of the theaters on Broadway. Tucking my hands into my pockets, I did my best to blend in. With a measure of my power I’d already changed my face, but that one didn’t hunt by eyesight alone. No she’d catch me by my scent too.

A hand fell onto my shoulder, spinning me around, and I had to fight to keep from killing the man who had grabbed me. “Oh I’m sorry,” he said when he saw the dangerous glint in my eyes. “I thought I knew you.”

“That’s all right,” I said as I ducked into a larger pod of people, shedding one face for another as I went. By the time I was two blocks away, I was wearing Claire Bennett’s skin. That should throw her for a loop even if she did catch my scent. I knew I was being stupid, because above it all my undying curiosity hoped that she could track me.
