Please review so I know what's good and what's bad, especially if your character is involved. Bye***

It slipped into the room and slinked towards the bed. It crept up and hoovered over the sleeping figure. The figure snored and it smiled. It was hungry and it's master was frustrated, weary and wanting to get out. But it wasn't time. Just a bite, that was all it wanted, just one bite. It opened it's mouth, teeth ready and went to bite, it could almost taste him, feel his energy. So hungry. It was poised and ready, then it woke. John Cena sat up and yawned loudly, not aware that it was right next to him and had been hanging over his neck seconds earlier. He threw the covers back which dropped through it and John got out of bed. It had been so close. Something tugged at it and it sniffed the air. A gathering of power, it hung heavy in the air. They where together, all of them. It had to go, but it was hungry. Just one bite, one little bite, no-one would notice. It followed John.....
Joey Kellson didn't get why grown people needed to skateboard. It was something teenagers did, but obviously she hadn't gotten that. The person he was looking at had pink hair and had been skating around the fountain for the past fifteen minutes. Every now and then she would stop and look around before carrying on. Today it was busy around the fountain, Joey knew lots of people from nearby office buildings sat there during their lunch breaks, but today there seemed to be a slight edge in the air. Leaning against one of the streetlights was a tall guy, who seemed to glare at everyone, especially a dark haired women in a suit who breezed past him and sat down on the edge of the fountain not far away from Joey. Someone else seemed to stand out too, another women with black hair who was sitting on the floor reading a book. The guy was still glaring at the dark haired women.

"Do you know him?" Joey asked, leaning forwards to speak to her.

"Kind of, that asshole bumped into me a few days ago. He obviously holds a grudge." She replied, rubbing her wrist.

"It's a nice day out."

"I suppose. To be honest I don't usually come here, but I guess I felt like a change."

Joey nodded. He didn't usually come sit by the fountain just outside of the Eternity Building, but like she had said, he felt like a change. The skateboarder had fallen over near the tall guy, who was smiling smugly at her, giving Joey the impression he had tripped her up. He watched the skateboarder pull herself up, cuss at him, pick her skateboard up and march over to the fountain.

"Jerk." she muttered as she got closer to him. "What is he? Twelve?"

The dark haired women laughed. "Ignore him, he walks around with a bear with a sore head."

The skateboarder dusted down the legs of her pants and examined her scratched hand. "What an asshole! Don't you work in Mark Designs?" she asked the dark haired women.

"Yeh, I'm Kenda Connor. How did you know?"

"I've seen you go in a few times. I'm Lenore by the way."

Kenda leaned forward, much like Joey had before. "I didn't catch your name."

"It's Joey."

Kenda nodded. "Looks like we're all acquainted now. Do any of you have the time?"

Lenore checked her watch. "It's 11.55."

"Almost noon." Joey whispered to himself.

No-one seemed to be listening, Kenda had jumped up to greet someone heading in their direction.

"Aurora! How was work?" she asked.

"It was alright. Why are you here?"

Kenda shrugged and took her place between Joey and Lenore. "I didn't want to stay couped up in the office for lunch."

"But your lunch break isn't until twelve thirty. It's just turned noon." Aurora pointed out. "Have you been smoking again? You promised you'd stop."

"Stress." Kenda replied sitting back down.

"Must be the lynx effect." Joey said with a smile.

Lenore laughed, Kenda rolled her eyes and Aurora frowned.

"What?"

"You know, the lynx effect. Haven't you seen the commercial? a guy uses lynx and all the women flock towards him? Or maybe it's just my raw animal magnetism."

"Right." Aurora replied, glancing at her watch.

"Did I tell you about the really weird thing that happened to me the other day?" Kenda was asking Aurora.

"No, but I have something to tell you too. Yesterday...."

Behind them, from a near by church, the bells began to ring, signalling noon, just as Amber walked past....

John Cena opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bathroom floor feeling drained. What had happened? One minute he'd been fine and the next he had blacked out. There was a stinging pain in his leg, but when John checked there where no marks. He pulled himself up, feeling terrible. "It must be work." he thought rubbing his head. "Maybe I should lie back down." He limped back to the bed, spooked with what had happened. John didn't know it still watched, unsatisfied, blood splattered on it's lips and long teeth, even though it had not drawn any from him. It wanted to stay, it wanted more. But they could not be ignored for much longer. It had to go now, but it had a taste for Cena, it would be back....
