Soft Light and Shadows
Prologue
by: IMBSA
IMBSA: Hello, hello! Um, this is a fanfic I based off two episodes of "The X-Files" (you know they watched that before making WHR ), so I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I own nothing/no one other than Valerie Brooks, Jack Brooks, Damien Manson, Julia Manson, Miyagi Kenichi, and the Fallen. And I know there's supposed to be this "prologue" in the beginning, but I'm too tired to think one up.
It was dark and quiet, as all apartments were at midnight. But moonlight streamed in via an open window, an uncommon occurrence, especially since the occupant was not there. The wind, surprisingly gentle, pushed the gauzy white curtain away from the window to curl mysteriously in and around itself. The sounds of the tenant were heard for the first time in over 3 hours. They manifested themselves: light footsteps; the clinking of keys against each other; a selected key placed in the lock; tumblers falling into place. The door swung open to admit the slight woman silhouetted in the doorway.
She reached in and flicked the light switch, flooding the room with soft, glowing light. Or would have, had the power not been cut. The woman flicked the switch up and down a couple of times after failing to get a response from her lights, a look of bewildered disbelief on her face. She had frowned and turned to go back down the stairs when two hands grabbed her roughly by her arms. That was his first of many mistakes.
It was dark and quiet at first. Then the silence was broken for five minutes by a shriek of "No!" in a woman's voice and the sound of smashing glass. Quietness was restored for a full 10 seconds before being shattered again by the sounds of something heavy colliding with a car and the vehicle's piercing alarm as the object smashed the roof of the vehicle below.
IMBSA: This is not going to be a really "action packed" fic. It's more mind boggling ( at least, it was to my mom). Well, R & R! (And please be nice.)
