"Avaya come look at this!" a girl named Selina called. The girl, Avaya, looked toward her best friend, both were of the age of 10. She was pointing towards a wanted poster of a man. Jason Leiffers. For the past few weeks he had been running lose around the city, robbing and murdering people. The girls were walking home with their families after just eaten out at their favorite resturant. It had been for Avaya's birthday.

"I see it Selina. Come on, you don't want to be left behind, everybody else is starting to cross the street. The two girls hurried to catch up. Both families were in the middle of the cross walk when screams were heard. To Avaya it was as if everything slowed down. Comin towards the familes was a large truck, speeding. The man inside was sneering at the people he was heading towards. Avaya saw Selina and their families hit by the truck. The last thing she ever thought was 'Jason Leiffers i will make you pay-'. Then, everything went dark as the truck hit her small body.

When police arived on the scene they covered the dead bodies. The body of 10 year Avaya no where in sight, nor was there a body in the truck that had crashed head long into a wall, crushing the front end, and all doors still closed.

~O~O~O~

'W-where am I?' Avaya floated in a deep blackness. Nothing was in sight and she found herself unable move or speak. Then she sensed a presence. And then another and a third one.

'Avaya De Venatione. Avaya of the hunt. You are in the relm Limbo.' The first one spoke. If it were possible, the voice reminded Avaya of the moon.

'Limbo? Am i dead?' She questioned. A second voice chuckled, its voice reminding her of the warm, gental sun. 'Only if you choose to be. You vowed to make the man, Janso Leiffers, pay for his crimes. You may choose to continue to live so that you may make the criminal Jason Leiffers pay for the crimes he has comitted. But there are conditions that you must agree to. If you do not wish to follow them, you may choose to pass on and be with your family in death."

Avaya thought about it momentarily. So, her family was killed, just as she saw. 'What are the conditions?'

Now the third voice spoke, its voice sounding like pain and death its self, 'You will be revived into a different world, far different from the one you know. And you will be unable to take human form without thirsting for blood. You will only be able to speak 100 words in total while you live.'

Here the second voice, the sun voice, broke in, 'This will only last until you end the existance that is Jason Leiffers. With his death you will be granted life and the ability to take human form without thirsting for blood, as well as being able to speak as much as you wish. Even if it takes fifty years to do so.'

Avaya thought about it all, her ten year old mind processing the events that were taking place. Finally she came to her desicion. 'I-I accept your conditions.'

'Very well, you, Avaya De Venatione, child of ten years, have chosen your destiny.'

'Even as a child you mush learn to grow and be stong, from here on out you are by yourself'

'In this new world, the man you seek is hiding. You will live up to your name, and hunt him down.'

Pain and a bright light flooded into Avaya's mind. To the small child it was as if liquid fire ran through her veins while the very sun its self came down directly infront of her, scorching her and blinding her with its briliance.

'Remember our conditions child, a form has alread been chosen for you.' Then, it all went dark once again, and the pain ebbed away.

~O~O~O~

Slowly Avaya came back into consciesness. The bright light making her squint her eyes. Dimly she wondered if it had all been a dream. she moved her arm and froze. A black, hairy dog leg was in the place of her arm. She shot up, looking over her body in alarm. It was an animal body. She wasn't human. This was the form chosen for her by the Three. The ten year old looked all around her.

Everything was covered in sand. For as far as her eyes could see, the desert stretched, broken only by a near by oasis, and a larged, walled city a small distance away from her. A new, strange world indeed.
