Scarlet threw her tools back into her bag, throwing it over next to the head stone as she took a few deep breaths, the night had been long, she had even started before it had hit full night time, she had been triple booked, and only found out last minute, Scarlet cursed under her breath as she thought of her boss.

Looking around she felt the graves dead to the world, the new the fresh the old, each one put to rest, she didn’t like tampering with the dead, yet it was what her powered called on, she looked down at her cut arm, not knowing she was triple booked she hadn’t brought enough blood supply, and of course having to get the risen takes blood, so in the end she had to serve herself up as bait.

She watched as the last car drove away, the mother still terrified in the back seat, after watching her poor young girl talk back to her, scarlet was shocked as well, the boss knew she hated dealing with children, still their death wound open for the world to see, Scarlet could bring a corpse back and make it look fully human, but she didn’t feel like using two pints of blood tonight.

She felt the cool bark of the tall oak tree behind her, she closed her eyes and nearly felt herself dozing off, she kept her senses aware, and her gun at hand, but she was sure that no one could get close to her with out her sensing it, especially a vampire…

Rachel looked around, sending out her senses as her leopard walked around inside her, a force of power pushing against her body, rippling across her skin, she shivered at the thought of letting her leopard out once again.
She concentrated, narrowing down the cemetery, making sure the coast was clear, but not far away she felt an unusual presence, Rachel was sure it was a vampire, she felt the cold dead power around her, yet a part of her was sure it was human.

Rachel tiptoed across the dry earth, the graves lying still, beneath her footsteps, she wondered off into the dark, the night was fully settled now, and was sure the cemetery would be crawling by no time.

SNAP

“Damn” she thought as the twig snapped, she felt eyes on her as she came out of the shadows, she placed the figure only a few feet away, under a large oak tree, Rachel decided to walk over, her footstep quivering slightly as she heard a click of a gun. She smelt the metal and stopped before going to close.

“ sorry to have frightened you, I was only out to check the cemetery to see if anyone was rooming” she said sheepishly her eyes looked on what she knew was a gun.

“SNAP”

Scarlet’s attention flew to a dark corner of the cemetery, she got out her gun and rested it closely to her, she sent out her power, but what ever was out there wasn’t dead…

Scarlet pulled up her defences, a mental wall that blocked out everything; she waited silently in the darkness.

“ sorry to have frightened you, I was only out to check the cemetery to see if anyone was rooming”


Scarlet looked at the woman, a lycan she thought, “ before you shapeshift I’m guessing” she said sourly, Scarlet didn’t have a problem with lycan’s, she guessed it was just the whole creeping up in a dark cemetery and scaring her, that put Scarlet off balance.

“ Hmm yea, I’m Scarlet” her fail attempts to say sorry, weren’t getting her anywhere, she put the safety back on her gun and put away.

“ before you shapeshift I’m guessing”


Rachel’s face darkened, “trying to be nice never gets me anywhere these days” she thought bitterly, Rachel sensed a slight uncomfortable ness from the woman. She stepped forward
SNAP

Rachel almost squinted as the twig snapped, the sound seemed to echo around her in the darkness “ as a matter of fact, I was planning on a run” she said grinning her eyes bleeding green; she knew that they now resembled a leopards eyes. Some people said that it was the weirdest thing; to see a human with animal’s eyes to her it was natural.

“ Hmm yea, I’m Scarlet”

Rachel guessed that was “Scarlet’s” was of saying sorry, deciding she would give the woman another chance to be in her good books, Rachel acted nice…
“ Nice to meet you Scarlet, I’m Rachel, what brings you here… at this time”

Rachel long golden outfit shimmered slightly in the darkness, plain black trousers, with a slightly gold sequined top, her soft brown hair curled slightly in the breeze and hung around her shoulders.
An empty black backpack hung on her shoulder, thrown on her back carelessly, she kept it on her all the time for when she went to shapeshift, so she had somewhere to put her clothes, she was sure that the amount of money she had spent on clothes could probably add up to the amount of money a normal person would spend in a year on them.
