Alright for those of you who don't know about Canius, which probably a lot, he's a vampire/werewolf Hybrid. One that is meant to keep the peace between the two races. He has all the strengths of both sides of his blood and none of the weaknesses making him the deadliest creature that ever roomed the Earth. And he's been a while. And a Created is the offspring of a vampire, werewolf or both. I'm testing this to see how it goes over. Good, I'll keep writing; bad, I won't. Oh yeah, I don't own any X-men characters. I should probably mention that. Enjoy.

Prologue

"Canius, this sucks." Jade, his one and only Created, complained. She instinctively crossed her arms. She was laying back in a large arm chair. The two of them were watching TV and Jade was commenting on his channel selection.

"You're free to leave when ever you want."

"I don't mind taking in a quite evening, but come on. You have every station imaginable on this thing and we're sitting here watching the History Channel." She made a gag face.

"Like I said, you're free to leave and I enjoy watching this to see if they've gotten it all right."

"Yeah, well, some of us aren't multiple millennia old here and want to see something blow up other than Mount Vesuvius. Now turn on Showtime."

"I could explain some of it to you if you want."

"NO!" Jade roared.

Almost as if on cue, there was a knock on Canius' apartment door.

'Saved by the…door.' Canius thought humorously to himself. As he got up to answer it, Jade bolted up faster than any human ever could and snatched the remote out of Canius' tyrannical possession, quickly sticking her tongue out as she did.

Canius sighed as he open the door to the sounds of a bomb exploding on the television. Huddling just beyond the door's threshold was a creature that stood no more than three feet tall, completely covered in a dark black/brown hooded robe. The thing's eyes glowed a haunting green inside the darkness of the hood.

This indicated that the creature was a courier.

"This better be good." Canius said in a stern voice as he crossed his arms.

A business envelope was then handed to him by a hand that appeared to have no skin, "A message from the darkness of the East coast." In a voice so deep it did not fit the body in the slightest degree.

Canius cocked an eyebrow at this, "The entire East coast? On both sides of the fence?" He took the envelope.

The messenger nodded its head decisively, "They are all most concerned."

"Thank you. You are released." The creature nodded his head once again to this statement and suddenly was no longer in the hallway of the complex.

"Neat trick." Canius opened the parcel carefully as not to damage the contents. To have the entire East coast in an uproar over one subject was….well….unheard of. Sure there were the occasional, quips and quarrels over territory rights, but that was a job for an official that lived out there, not in Seattle. This must be big. He push the door closed with the back of his foot and walked back into the TV room where Jade was watching one of the Die Hard movies.

"What's up?" She asked in a monotone voice that didn't really show much interest.

"I'm about to find out. " Canius unfolded the fine pressed paper contents. The message itself was written in the Vampiric language that every vampire knew from their creation. Canius scanned the document become more and more interested in what it was telling him. As he finished, his slid his tongue over his right canine while pulling air into his useless lungs creating a high pitch sucking sound.

"Uh-oh," Jade said while turning down the volume on the movie, "That's never good."

"One sec," Canius replied as he began to re-read the document to make sure he translated it correctly, despairing when realized he had. "Well your right, Jade. This is most definitely not good."

"Enough suspense already, what the fuck is in the note?!" Jade had actually turned off the television at this point. She was even sitting upright and staring straight at him.

Canius looked at her with an emotion in his eyes that Jade couldn't describe, "According to this, the humans are evolving."
