She skipped down the street humming to herself, New York was a very big city, it was very easy to lose one little girl. She dropped her cigarette on the ground and blew out the noxius fumes. Her eyes wide in almost childlike innocence, but to those that knew the young woman, was aware she was anything but innocent. She cut through an alley on her way to Wall Street and her shadow followed her.

[color=f49ac2]"Hey, look I will sate you soon I promise."[/color] She said to her shadow. She timed this perfectly, all the fat cats who are robbing the world were on their way to lunch. Circe walked through the busy crowd of men and women, most talking on their phones rushing to where ever their meaningless lives dictated. She walked through the crowd, like she was a boat on water. Circe's hands slipped into coats, and back pockets, into purses, and handbags. Pulling out wallets and coin bags, money clips, and credit cards.

She put everything in her pockets and weaved through the crowd. As she picked the last pocket a police officer turned the corner and spotted her. He called out to her and began running over. Circe smiled widly and took off running, the police officer gave chase as she ran through the crowd. Circe knocked people down to slow the officer down, and was met with many yelps of shock and surprise. She eventually ran down a side street and turned to a dead end. She leaned against the wall waiting for the officer to catch up. Eventually the man turned the corner, a little winded and locked eyes with her.

[color=6ecff6]"No where left to run!! Your under arrest, for being a pick pocket!!"[/color] The officer pulled out his gun and hand cuffs and started walking towards her.

[color=f49ac2]"Yes, yes, I know!! Hehehehehe, he fell right into it!! I told you I would take care of you baby. Now his blood shall feed you, hehehehehe!!"[/color] The young woman said to her shadow. Confused the man looked around and saw no one else in the alleyway. When he looked back, Circe was sporting two short swords made of darkness.

[color=6ecff6]"Dispatch, this is Colleen's, I have a possible code 1096, please advise. Repeat, I have a possible mentally unstable individual, send back-up."[/color] He backed up slowly and bumped into a smooth surface, he checked behind and realized he backed into a black wall. His eyes frantically searched for an exit and realized that the mage put the wall there. Circe closed in to the man and he pointed his gun ready to shoot. One of the swords cut into his leg and he cried out in pain.

[color=f49ac2]"See, see, see?? It's time lovely!! Hehehehehehehe, we have a new toy to play with, and I always love a man in uniform!! Hehehehehehehehe."[/color] She disarmed the man without a thought and went to work on him.

~Some time later~

Circe was rubbing the man's blood on her shadow, when her phone went off. She cleaned her hands off and grabbed her phone and read the message from Aloysuis.

[i]"The plan is in motion. Meet at base tomorrow night for full meeting. Don't be late or miss it if you value your life."[/i] It was happening!! Circe was so excited she could barely contain herself!! She laughed, and danced around the bloody alley. Going as far as taking the police man's hat and wearing it. Her shadow wall lowered and she skipped out of the alley still wearing the hat, fun things where coming!! And she would have a bunch of new toys to play with!!
