I in no way own Twilight or any of its Characters.

You stand before me

Now we stare eye to eye

Before another second clicks away, one of us will die

You reach for your metal as I reach for mine

The sound of bullets flying through the air is followed by a cry.

(3 DOORS DOWN: Dangerous Game)

Have Fangs, Will Travel: Prologue.

Year: 2388.

No one was really sure exactly how it happened. If it was naturally occurring or if some asshole in a lab got sloppy. All anybody really knows is that in the spring of 2151, a great plague wiped out half of the worlds population. With even more dying in the dark age that followed. By the year 2300, life had changed drastically. What was once the United States of America, now resembled a mix of the modern age and the old west. As for Europe, nobody really knows. Having lost contact with them in the Great State Wars of 2230.

About the only thing good to come out of those wars, was a somewhat centralized government. Still with most of the population now dead, and the great technology of the past now mostly lost. It was nearly impossible for them to enforce law in a land as vast as America. So the land was divided into eight territories. With each territory having complete judicial control over its self.

Of course that only helped somewhat, as over seventy percent of the land was uninhabited. That left a lot of places for bad guys to hide. That's where I come in, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Jacob Black, Werewolf, Immortal, Bounty hunter at your service.

"et em oo, oou astaterd!"

You're probably wondering who said that, and what it was he said exactly. He's just some sack of shit, who was stupid enough to get a nice little price on his head, in the Mississippi Territory. As for what he said... well I believe it was "Let me go, you Bastard!" Hard to tell with that gag in his mouth.

He's lucky he's worth more alive than dead! The S.O.B hasn't shut up since I caught him, a week ago, trying to make a break for the Greater Missouri Territory. He would have made it too, if he didn't stop for a night of fun in a cheep brothel. Hope he enjoyed it, it's the last piece of ass he'll be getting for a long time, or well... pussy anyways. If he's strong enough he might get him plenty of ass in prison. Though from the looks of him, I'd say he's got two days before he's someones bitch.

Thankfully his time with me is just about up, another hour and we'd be at our destination. He'd be gone, and I'd be thirty gold pieces richer. Almost there, to be honest the town of New Reach, wasn't really much to look at. Just some shithole mining town. But I was friendly with the local sheriff, so I knew he wouldn't rip me off. His family owed me a debt, when I saved his granddad in the State Wars. The Grandly Family has been friends of mine ever since, and were among the few mortals who knew my secret.

"28,29,30! There you go Jake, thirty gold as promised." Said the Sheriff, handing over the bag with the counted gold in it.

"Pleasure doing business with you as always, Frank." I said said, smiling as I took the bag.

Frank snorted as he shook his head at me. "So where you off to now?"

"Home!" I said, as I stood and made my way to the door. "Where else?"

"You could stay for a few days." Said Frank. "Susie and the kids would love to see you."

"Maybe next time." I said after a pause. "Besides, you know I'm not house broken."

Frank let out another snort at that one. "Take care of yourself, Jake."

"You too, Frank."

Soon I was back on my horse, and headed back to the place I called home. In the Virginia Territory, what was once the State on Kentucky. Why Kentucky, you ask? Simple, there was a building there that was perfect, for a group of supernatural bounty hunters. Ft. Knox.

Let me guess, you're thinking about gold, right about now. Well don't bother. Any gold that was in there, if there ever was any gold in there, was long gone by the time we moved in. Nope no gold, but the building itself remained. It was well fortified, easily defended, perfect.

It took me about a week to get there on horse back, but I made it. Thankfully the building itself was one of the few in the area that still had electricity, thanks to solar power. Which had seen a lot of huge advances, before the great plague. That meant it still had lights, and hot and cold running water. Which was great, as I needed a shower... Bad! The down side of being a wolf was that you could easily smell yourself!

"Welcome back, Jacob." Called out a voice, as I walked in. I followed the voice till I spotted a girl of Native American decent, she looked to be in her late teens to early twenties. But I knew better, looks could be deceiving.

"Hey, Claire. Is any of the others here?" I said.

She nodded. "Leah's in her room. Everyone else is out hunting bounties."

"Okay." I said. "Anything interesting happen while I was gone?"

"Sort of." She said, as she reached behind her and grabbed a yellow envelope. "A rider came by from Radcliff yesterday, with this telegram addressed to you."

"Hm." I mumbled as I took the envelope. "It's probably just informing me of another bounty. I'll take a look at it, after I've had a shower."

"Yes, you do need one." She said, as she went back to doing whatever she was doing before I arrived.

I just shook my head, and headed up stairs to the second floor. Which we turned into living quarters. I'll never understand that girl. No surprise there, as little Misses Claire Ateara, turned out to be a Natural Witch! I don't mean that, as to say that she is an evil vindictive woman. Though she can be that, when she wants to. No, I mean an honest to goodness, piss me off and I'll put a curse on you, witch!

Sometimes it was enough to make me wish for the good ol'days. When I thought Vampires and Werewolves were the only supernatural creatures on this planet. Turns out we were WAY wrong! The world is a much weirder place, then you could ever imagine.

When I finally reached my room, I threw the envelope on my night stand. And headed toward my bathroom, and a blessed hot shower. Stripping off my black duster, and gun belt as I went. What guns? Two S&W .500 Magnums! Also know as Judge and Jury.

After a very long HOT shower, I finally got a round to the envelope. Little did I know that what was inside, would put me on a crash course with my past. A past that I had been running from for over three hundred years!

Jacob.

I hope this reaches you in time. I have found myself wrapped up in a murder mystery, here in Seattle. I need you to come quick, it's about Bella!

Your Cousin, Collin.

(A.N) Just a little something I've had come to mind, after watching too much Trigun, and a few other things. Hope you like. Let me know.
To any readers of my other stories, I'm still alive and have not given up on them! It is just that life sometimes makes it hard to have free time. Like with a New Job, and a New Bundle of Joy about to join my family, in about Six Weeks. But I am Trying to make time, to update them all. :-)
