I managed to cook this guy up in a few minutes. It might be a prologue or something... It was meant to be vague anyways. This is for New Blood. Anyways, read on!


Chapter One

Beginnings

I don't know if it was me or if it was him... But I know one thing for sure... If I didn't chickened out back there... I would never have met him...


"Die, bitch!!!"

BANG!

She knew the sound. She heard it on TV. She heard it in real life. She even heard it yesterday. But what she didn't know, was that it was aimed right at her. It entered her body like a knife through butter. Just like that. It was so easy. The next thing she knew was that she was falling. Dropping down like a doll. It was like as if someone pressed the slow motion button on the remote, but the feeling in general made her feel like an idiot. It was the only thing that stood between her and respect from her fellow gang members. A place where she can be accepted.

No, stupid! Get up!!! You can't fall!!!

A challenge. That was it. A little something to spark up some tension with the other gang. They had their guns, their bombs, the lead pipes, everything! But what they couldn't foresee was the unexpected ambush.

For a moment a trickle of blood was flying in the air. She could see her long red hair at the corner of her eye. It was all like a dance of red, but this wasn't the time for pretty things. Then it happened.

THUMP!

She hit the ground. Hard. She tried to open her eyes, but the pain was too great.

Sirens.

Crap! The cops!!!

She heard her friends giving out orders. She couldn't hear them, but there voices were hushed down in fear. Then footsteps began to leave.

No! They can't leave me! Guys! Come back!!!

"Hey! They left one."

"I don't think she can get up."

"... Shot... bring her... to... Caduceus..."

"...Nearest... probably... live..."

W-what's happening?

Then what all poor Sienna Ellis could hear was nothing but muddled voices.


"Markus! We have an emergency!!!"
