By the Light of the Moon
{Near midnight in the alleyways of the not so beautiful city of Detroit something mysterious and dangerous is occurring.} {Two men approach, one slight of build and one larger with a black overcoat, obviously the leader of the two.}
"Hey man, I can't find them anywhere. It's like they disappeared." Stated the smaller of the two men.
"Keep looking, I know there here." Stated the cape clad man.
"What can you smell them?" Came the flippant retort.
"They're here, they wouldn't just run. Vamps like that ache for fights, they wouldn't run from any fight even if they were losing."
"You're the boss."
"Yeah" He grunted to no one in particular.
{Pan to the rooftops.} {Three mysterious strangers are seated on a ledge all clad in black.} {The first stranger is a female and is wearing jeans t-shirt and a leather jacket, all completely black. Her black hair with purple streaks cut semi sporadically around her shoulders.} {The second and third strangers are both male.} {The first of them wore something similar to the caped man below; in fact his outfit is identical to the man below. His brunette hair seemed to be cut randomly around his forehead and ears. He looked to be the oldest, but in fact was the youngest.} {The third stranger had slicked back dirty blonde hair hidden under his black cowboy hat. He had black boots with a black duster that floated down to his heels. The oldest of the group, but the farthest thing from its leader.}
"Soooo…" came the probing question from the female.
"Kara, we will sit and wait." Came the firm reply from the grim one.
"Lighten up Jax." The cowboy stated grinning underneath his hat.
"Yeah Jax, listen to Vance." Kara retorted to Jax's rebuke. "Cover me." With that she was gone to create mischief with the men in the alley.
Vance smiled, looking at Jax, "Listen your sister can handle herself; if it gets too heated I'll back her up ok? Besides grumpy down there is a vampire hunter, and we're not vampires. At least not really."
Jax grimaced "Why do I always listen to you? You always get us in trouble." With that retort he finally lightened up.
"Two reasons. One your sister likes me and you always listen to her. Two because I always save your caboose in the end. Besides we just want to make friends with the guy."
{Pan back to the alley where the two men have regrouped. Unknown to them Kara is standing above them and Vance is close by.}
"Chin, did you find anything?" The big one asked.
"Not a thing boss I'm telling you there long gone." Chin replied.
This last statement brought smiles to Kara and Vance's lips. Oh how the mighty have fallen thought Kara.
"Then how is it one is standing above us, Chin?" Cape man asked as he drew his handguns turning to fire its silver bullets at Kara. As she leapt out of the way the man in black clipped her twice in the leg. She went down hard on the pavement. Before Jax could react Vance stood in the alleyway, sword in hand in his fighting stance. The big man smiled as he holstered his handguns and drew his own blade.
"Are you ready" Vance smiled "Blade?"
"Bring it on. Chin stay out of the way, this is between him and me."
And with that battle was joined.
