Good god I'm so sorry to re-post this but I had to remove it cause I couldn't get the author's notes off(stupid new rule). and it was waaaay to complicated to fix. sorry to be a nuance.

Not mine don't sue!

*kay I've had this on my computer for ever and finally got around to cleaning it up, yes I know that with x2 it seems a bit cliché now but that's not what I intended it to be. I originally wrote this during the beginning of season 2 so there's no mass mutant hysteria or anything. I kinda did this as a one shot, but if people like it I might add a companion piece to it. Have no fear this is not a mary-sue, heck the girl doesn't even have a name! oh well yeah so here it is..*

Sweat dripped down her brow, seeping into her lashes. Squinting in pain she rubbed her eyes furiously in irritation. The heat was stifling, hanging in the air like a thick encompassing blanket, the mirage emitting off the black top distorted her view of the bottom of the hill. Despite all this the petite brunette pressed on, continuing her jog.

She finally came to her destination, halting she stared at the building in front of her, hunched over, hands on her hips her she tried to regain her breath, but found no relief from the gasps of thick, humid air. Standing on the stoop, she leaned heavily upon the large oak doors leading into the church, the creak of the hinges echoed thru the empty parish.

She shivered as the cooler air inside brushed past her. Gingerly she dipped her fingers into the small cup mounted on the wall, making the sign of the cross and continued further into the dimly lit church. She reached down the front of her shirt and produced two now slightly soggy dollar bills, looking at them she shrugged before cramming them into the poor box.

After lighting a candle she kneeled down at the alter, there she crouched in silent meditation. She smiled thankfully as a cool breeze swept through the open stained glass windows. Her smile was soon replaced as she caught a whiff of a foul, rotten smell. Standing she lifted her arms and sniffed her shirt, shrugging she looked around, her interest now peaked as she tried to find the origins of the offending stench .

Hearing the groan of one of the wooden pews, she glanced up at the balcony. The balcony was only opened for large holiday gatherings and since it was a Tuesday morning in the middle of June there was no real need to be up there. Assuming whoever was up there, was up to no good; she hastily made her way to the stairs leading to the upper level. Faint mumblings could be heard; she ascended the stairs concluding that whoever was on the balcony was most likely the same person responsible for the recent vandalism in the rectory. Smiling at being able to catch the delinquent red handed, she quietly mounted the last few stairs.

What she saw was far from a vandal, there sitting in one of the front pews was a, a thing. As her mind registered the fact that this thing was covered in blue fur and its tail swished, lazily back and forth, she let out a frightened gasp. She was frozen in place as the creature turned to the noise; large blank yellow eyes stared back at her. Tilting its' head to the side, it seemed to gaze at her for what felt like an eternity. Rounding its' shoulders, its' head dropped, almost in shame. She yelped at its' sudden movements, sighing the being stood, and she backed away not knowing what was happening.

"Sorry."

With that the thing closed his eyes and poof,- or- rather BAMF it was gone. The girl stood there, alone trying to comprehend what she had just seen as the smoke wafted about dissipating into the air.

"..sorry,.. uh yeah, me too." She said to herself.
