Disclaimer: I do not own Blade the Series
A/N: Okay not much of an author's note. Just thought I would state the facts here. This is my first Blade fanfic, so I hope you enjoy. Read It, Love It and Review It!
As I look back, I try and pinpoint where my life underwent the changes I am about to describe to you. I guess it all started when my father was killed…Daniel Pearson was his name. He was killed while on an assignment for Blade. Blade is a Daywalker, like my father is…was… Anyway I remember the first time I met Blade.
Flashback…
I was navigating the sidewalks and streets on my skateboard to follow a motorbike, not an easy task. Finally the bike and rider pulled into an alley. As he got off the bike, he looked at me as I wheeled into the alley behind him. As he walked towards me I kicked my board into my hands.
As I picked it up and held it to my side, he stepped up to me and said, "Who are you?"
I wasn't going to tell him my name yet, so I said to him, "You're Blade."
"Who wants to know kid?" he said in a gruff voice, obviously meant to be threatening.
"You worked with my dad."
"Daniel Pearson."
I nodded.
"You're Danny's girl."
"Alyssa," I said, telling him my name.
"Go home kid. "
Just as he turned away from me and started to walk away I asked him, "What happened that day?"
He stopped mid-step and repeated, "Go home kid." I ran ahead of him. Standing in front of him, blocking his way I said, "Not until you tell me what happened."
"Your worst nightmare." He walked around me, but what I said next had him changing his direction and walk back towards me. "You mean vampires."
"What do you know about vampires?"
"I know you're a Daywalker and so was my dad."
He grabbed my arm and pulled me to a door. After punching some numbers on a keypad he led me down some stairs and pushed me down into a chair. "Look kid you don't need all the gory details, so I'll just tell you the bare truth. Your dad died a hero in my eyes and that's all."
What he said, not to mention the way he said it, there was only one thing I was certain of.
"He saved your life, didn't he?"
My question was met with revered silence, the kind used to honor fallen heroes. Right then I knew what had to be done. "I want to help."
"You're too young."
"Then train me at least."
"No."
I noticed the computers, "I can help from here."
"Someone else does that."
"I can help them."
He shook his head, "He doesn't like help."
Just then a man of Asian descent came down the stairs, "Hey Blade, you're back early."
"I got the info sooner than expected."
The man nodded, "Who's this?" he asked Blade after noticing me.
"This is Danny's girl."
"Alyssa," I said telling him my name."
"Alyssa, this is Shen. Shen meet Alyssa," Blade said making introductions, "She wants to help."
"With my computers?"
Blade nodded.
"Do you know how to work them?" he asked me.
"Give me a test run."
15 minutes later…
"Kiddo, if you're not careful, I'm gonna be out of a job with Blade here." I guess I impressed him.
End of Flashback…
Anyway that's what I've been doing for the past year, helping Shen out with the system he has set up. I've even convinced Blade to train me a bit. I haven't been able to take him down in a sparring session, but who can? At least I can hold my own in a fight, and fire a semi-automatic but he won't let me carry one, probably because it's illegal.
But even though I met Shen and Blade, they aren't where my story really begins.
