Prologue

A LONE figure stood, watching the golden sun setting. Her cloak rustled in the wind, her raven hair blew gently. She turned around and headed for the city. She padded softly through the dimly lit streets, entering a bar to get a warm drink. She thought about how much had changed in the last three years as she walked along. The government was still as oppressive as ever, though they dealt indiscriminately with all the people, transgenic or not. At least I brought that for our people, she thought dryly, even if on the streets the ordinary people still treat us differently.

Among the changes that had happened, she no longer worked at Jam Pony. Now she worked as a representative to the Government for the transgenics, and she had definitely seen more than her share of corruption and filth there. Last of all, though she still couldn't decide whether it was for the better or worst, she and Logan had broken up, remaining firm friends still. Things just hadn't worked out, and Max had a suspicion it might have had something to do with Asha.

The bar was beginning to be filled, so she slipped out, heading for her house. She shivered, and pulled in her cloak to shield against the cold, when she heard a sound behind her. Not wanting to become paranoid, she just kept on walking normally. As she turned the last corner, a hand covered her mouth, dragging her into a nearby alley. She saw that he was wearing all black, face covered with a hood. She tried to turn swiftly to kick her captor. It didn't work. She was surprised, because being a transgenic, she was more powerful than ordinary humans. She struggled fiercely, twisting and turning. Suddenly she felt weaker, somehow…

"It will be less unpleasant for both of us if you just quit struggling," said her captor. I know that voice, she thought. Max was in a dead end with no where to run. He leaned in close and she could feel his warm breath on her neck.

"Max…it has been a long time." She dug her fingernails into his hand, and in surprise, he shot up. His hood fell back, and she gasped. She knew him…

"You drugged me," she accused. It took all the strength she had left to say it. The last thing she heard before sinking into unconsciousness was him whispering,

"Good night, beautiful lady." Then darkness enveloped her.
