She was shivering in a corner of the shop pondering the many questions scattered in her head. How did her friend know whom these people where? And who were they exactly? But the big question that she wondered the most about was why did they hunt her?!? ... Many possibilities plagued her mind. Maybe it was the strange dreams she often had, or the way she seemed to 'jinx' things, or maybe all of these factors played a part in her nightmare.

THWACK!!! She heard the door two stories down being blown open then the sound of heavily armored people flooding into the store. They were mumbling about something. She stood up so fast she was on her feet before she realized it. The pain in her leg was all but gone. Limping to the ladder that led to the roof she darted up it only to find a dark figure waiting for her on the flat, cold, concrete roof. She froze in her tracks staring up at him like a horrified young fawn. Wordlessly begging for life. She then without warning dove off to the side hearing the several rounds of the pistol go off.

She ran terrified not knowing what was going on, where her legs were carrying her. Several sharp pains in her left arm told her she was hit. Sending a shock to her brain (no she was dead, the game was over. She was dead they won and she lost.) When her common sense finally caught up with her she found her self not on the solid roof but halfway across an alleyway three stories up. Not having time to think how she got there, she needed to concentrate on getting to the other side. She was going to make it... no she was falling. She hit the wall and bounced away from it. Falling... falling away from what? Life? death? Her back met with the ground in a very sudden, painfull, unpleasant way.

Meanwhile on the roof the man stood there, shocked and dumbfounded. "The orbo... has no effect?!", he said to himself thinking this was a nightmare, not a real hunt. "All that orbo could have... no... should have killed her"

"Did you get her?" Someone on his headset asked.

"No", he replied "not yet" he walked to the side of the building, pistol ready, and looked down only to find her gone.
