“Well this is…” she paused and looked at me. “Zak.” I said, extending my hand. She took it and I leaned down and kissed hers. Charlotte rolled her eyes, “So where’s Minny?” she asked. “She’s with her grandmother this Christmas.” Her mom said, eyes still studying me. “I did ma...
The name sounded familiar, but I couldn’t think of it now. “Your boyfriend?” I asked, gesturing to the place where he fell. “Ex-,” she said. “Well Ex or no Ex, permit me to walk you home?” I asked. She smiled, “I don’t normally walk home with strange men,” she looked off towards ...
December 20, 1490: Venice
The roads were freezing as I walked across them. Now I had to kill so close to Christmas. My target was in front of me, walking through the crowd hurriedly. I walked behind him when a shout attracted my attention. I turned and saw a girl of about 19 being harassed by hoo...
December 20, 1485: Venice
I stood in the road, waiting for my target. A known Templar by the name of Louis Francisco. He was the most corrupt man out there, and I was going to stop him. A little girl of maybe eight ran up to me, startling me. “Merry Christmas!” she said, holding up a dandelio...
Jack stood, cold and in wait, at the City Square. Of course they’d send him, Jack the lead Executioner, to kill a fly. He wanted to somehow teleport to the old days, where you walked in the public with your axe hanging from your belt, not have it hidden in a jacket. He was like all the other Execu...
The alarm set everyone in motion. Alex ran to the monitors, eyes scanning them hastily. “We have a breach,” he said, turning towards us, “It’s him.” Everyone took weapons and turned towards the door. John cringed every time a guard screamed from the monitor. Then everything went silent. Su...
Robert brushed past the crowd of people; he had to get to his meeting. He thought himself high and official; he was nothing but a deer in a scope, my scope. I walked casually behind him, he had to slow down because of the crowd of people; he didn’t notice me. I quickly drew my hand around his neck...
“We are not dealing with an amateur.” Alex said after a long pause. “This man is an expert,” Travis said, “like he was trained.” John looked over at Carolyn, who had her head in her hands. She had been like that since she told them the news. He walked over, “Are you ok?” She lifted h...
So, with the vote of five to three, Carolyn and Jake were on the corner, Carolyn disguised as the target, who was safely in a shack, unconscious, and Jake pretending to be a street performer, wearing the Harlequin’s original outfit. Carolyn smiled to herself; everyone must be laughing at Jake. She...

“How bad is it?” I asked the scientist, who was almost running to keep up with me. “Sectors D, E, and J are already infected.” He said, reading off a list, “We have reports of some behavior changes in section C as well.” “Who was the idiot who tried to open the case?”...
I paused to evaluate her expression before I continued. “We are being threatened by hunters for what we are, and I want to stop it. Legally.” I added. She stared, “This is incredible,” she said, “but how would you want to proceed?” “Well,” I said, mulling it over, “I guess a worldw...
It was too fun! My Mistress came crawling back to us an hour after I won our “debate” and begged me to step down. “She should be dead.” Carolyn said, her eyes wide with terror. I laughed “Remember Precious,” I said, “Only fire can kill us once and for all.” “Listen,” My Mistress ...
I had to admit it, she was good. Only ten years and already getting the hang of her powers. The time is now about 2013. So no, there was no end of the world. You can relax now. Carolyn was already a terror of the night. I swelled with pride as she stalked in the night. Yet I felt held back. Not by C...
Carolyn stared at me after I told her. It was the next day and we were at the dinner. “So…can I ask you a question?” she asked. “That’s why we’re here.” I answered. “Sunlight doesn’t bother you?” she asked, looking out the window next to us. I smiled “Too much direct sunlight c...
It has been 100 years since my transformation. My mistress is happy with the way I evolved. I am now stalking my final prey, a woman. I reach out with my power, telling her to hold still. She did pause, as they all did. I walked up behind her. She turned around, her hair seeming to glisten in the mo...
I walked in the night searching. Every lead I had led me here, to this house. I prayed silently, knowing I never would again. I walked into the house. It looked empty, but they were there, pulsating their energy over me. “Come on!” I shouted, feeling their power shift in annoyance. I heard foots...
