All right, now that's done let's get this story going!!
Adilenna Alten was starting to have a pretty good morning. She had already stolen three purses from unsuspecting merchants, and the day was still young. By noon she'd have enough to follow through with her plans. Her light green eyes were eyeing an unattended fruit stand when she caught a glimpse of purple in the corner of her eye. When she turned to look she saw something that immediately ruined her day. Three Violent Violets were pushing their way through the now growing crowd. "This isn't right." She thought to herself, "This is our territory. What are they doing here?" Three wasn't that big of a number, she could easily take three, but something about the way they smiled smugly made her feel uneasy. The taste in her mouth was bitter, sour, and all in all dangerous. She checked their weapons with her magic, and wasn't all that surprised when the weapons gave off a lime green glow. "Poison. . . This is stupid, their using poison over something so trivial as a street?!" The sensible non-gang member side said. "You of all people should know how important a simple street is to a gang! That street serves as their hunting grounds, where they can steal food and money. A simple street is vital to a gang . . ." the gang member side of her argued. "Well, looks like its time for a little work." She mumbled under her breath. Her plans for later that day had to wait; her gang needed her, badly.
The three violets were in a triangle formation, one walking in front and the other two walking side by side behind the first. She crouched down behind a wagon filled with hay and waited. Once the group passed her hiding spot she began to follow them staying three steps behind them. When both violets were looking dead ahead, she stepped toward them quickly. When she was in range she grabbed both of their heads and slammed their skulls together. She didn't like killing people, even if they were out to kill other people. Both would wake up with a horrible throbbing headache and a very large goose egg on their heads. The one in front heard his companions fall and swung around, a small dagger in each hand. " Oh, please, not the daggers. I'm so scared." She said sarcastically while waving her hands above her head. She whipped out two of her daggers, and locked with his daggers at the hilts. She kept his hands busy long enough to ram her knee into his groin with enough force to knock a horse off its feet (ok, its just a metaphor I made up so don't yell at me if horses are easy to knock over OK?! geez....). he dropped his daggers and fell to the ground hold what was more then likely most dear to him at the time.
"Ooooooooo." He moaned in pain. Adi gathered up all the weapons that the clumsy cluster had been carrying around.
"Just be glad I didn't cut it off," she growled at him while carefully wrapping the weapons in the vest she had taken off one of the unconscious violets, "believe me I wouldn't mind going back to my lair with a trophy..." He just groaned some more and tried to get up. Adi kicked him in his gut before he got up to attack again. "Good bye for now, pathetic pansy." She turned and ran in the direction of one of her contacts and close friends.

When she reached the healers home she got a different taste in her mouth. A clean, crisp taste like drinking cool water on a hot day. It was familiar, but strange like someone was inside that she had met only once. She finally gave up determining a reason behind the taste and walked towards the side door. "Only one way to find out..." she muttered unhappily, " I hate surprises.... And I think I'm about to get one..." She opened the door without even knocking and stepped inside to total darkness. "Zelina!" She yelled from where she stood, "Zelina, I need to speak with you!" 'Damn it!' she thought to herself, 'I really don't want to waste any magic.' She closed her eyes and changed her eyesight, so she could see in the darkness that enveloped her. A board creaked from somewhere above and Adi heard footsteps come down the steps. She didn't need magic to tell that Zelina was up to something.
"Who's there?" A male voice called from what sounded like the bottom of the staircase.
"An ill person, wishing to speak to a healer." Adi said trying to remain calm. Her patience was stretched thin, and she had no time whatsoever to just stand around. "And if u do not let me see the healer by the name of Zelina you to shall soon be ill."
All righty Gals, and maybe guys. . . ( Did any guys read my story? if so tell me, I would like to know...) Anywho. I decided to stop here b/c it's late and I STILL have biology homework to do.... So, how was this one? I know its kind of slow but don't worry, things will start to speed up in the next chapter or the only right after that. If anyone has any questions plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ask me in a non-abusive way by way of email or review.
O, sorry for the cliffy! But come on, who doesn't love suspense?? hehehe
Well, TTFN!
