X-Factor

The darkest shadow crooned and extened an armlike shadow
and other shadows condensed around it. Then the shadows parted
and a women was revealed. Really she was more of a girl only
about 19.
"Shhhhhhh my shadows unease is in the air..." she said in
her silky voice. The only thing about her that seemed to catch
the light were the wickedly curved silver blades she had
suspended by belts about her. She had two large swords, more
then six daggers eachwith blades about as long as her hand and
tied by a black leather thong at her left wrist was a dagger
that didn't have a handle but seemed molded to fit her hand with
three blades that would come up between her fingers in her fist
and on her right wrist was one with only a long thin and
obviously very sharp blade what curved back on it's tip.
These weapons were obviously meant to be deadly yet she remained
unharmed by it. She wored tight black leather pants, and a
silky black tanktop that left nothing to be guessed at, all
of this black seemed to swallow the light around her yet her
hair was blacker yet it was darker then the void. Her hair
color could never be acheived by dye yet there was no way it
could be natural.With a toss of her hair she disappeared silently.

*****Somewhere else in the darkness of the city*****

With a satisfied sigh and licking her lips she dropped
the limp body of the unconcious robber to her feet. She
hadn't killed him though with all of the theiving he had
been doing he deserved it. Meskito stepped over him and then
turned back. He was hidden too much in the shadows. Sighing
that she had to do more work she dragged him out towards the
end of the alley and tied his wriststogether with some rope.
She made sure that the items he stole were in plain sight which
included 2 purses and 3 wallets. The police should see him there.
Quickly she climbed up a fire escape and disappeared over the
edge of the roof and was gone. Later two patrolling police
men came across the robber.
"Look here Earl..." The one drawled. "Looks like the
Vamp has caught us another theif." Checking his pulse he said.
"She left his one in the same state as the others. Alive but
drained. look at the bites she was hungry." They knew that
'the Vamp' as they called her was a female fairly tall with
shoulder length dark hair and black eyes. So far as appearences
went she was fairly young. Other then the almost lunatic
ramblings of the robbers she caught there was no evidence that
she even existed.

***** A Small little cafe in a moderate district of town.*****

Flectia stared eep into the mirrow that she was holding.
So detailed everything was like real life. Yet, she thought
bitterly things were so simple to be seen there was nothing
beneath the surface. She tucked it into her deep purse where
she had several other mirrors. Her 'friends' couldn't understand
her obssession with mirrors. She had many haning in her small
apartment. Thinking of that she reached into the shopping
bag at her feet. She pulled out her two treasure finds that
she had bough today. One was a large mirror about 18 inches
tall and 9 inches wide, it had a large gilded antique frame,
the other was smaller and circular the mirror was but 5 inches
in diameter and including the frame it was 8 inches in diameter.
The frame depicted a sun and a moon intertwined and was painted
in gay colors the sun bright gold and the moon a light blue
there were silver and gold accents all along the edges and it
was much more modern. She put them back in her bags and
finished her cappicuno and stood and left a tip on the table
then walked out the door.

***** A small but hip dance club *****

Mouse as her friends affectionately called her chatted
with one of her friends and sipped at her Coke. Finishing the
conversation she turned and disappeared. She reappeared
instantaneously on the other side of the crowded room behind
one of her other friends.
"Guess who!" she said in her slightly squeaky voice as
she covered her friend's eyes.
"Mouse!" Her friend said and turned to hug her only to
find air she turned back the way she had been facing to find
mouse right in front of her.
"Hehe I got you!" Mouse giggled and disappeared to
some other point in the club.
