            Chapter One,           & nbsp;           &nbs p;   Rocky Mountains, Year: 4005, July 6 4:30 AM.         "How did I end up doing this...?" Arian 'Cassidy' Midnight spat gently as she moved around the overly large and thickened wood.     "Oh yes, it was Moon, saying I should drink... and of course making me sign a contact I didn't want..." she snarling softly as she felt a sudden tug on her fine leather coat. She turned around with a swift movement as she held her silver dagger in the flat of her hand. "A tree branch..." she said softly before her brow's furrowed together.     "I hate the outside..." she cursed softly under her breath as she stopped. there was a camping site to where she had been sent. Her curse grew louder at the now fully new and warm stench of blood as it flooded her sensitive senses.     "Fuck..." Arian hissed softly. "Shit, Fuck!" she swore as she started to run towards the site. She could see the dim flame of the fire the campers had going. Well she thought it was that. Soon coming to a stop, Arian covered her nose and mouth, "God..."     She silently swore as she looked around at the gore and blood splattered everywhere. The family had been torn into pieces. Arian saw red, What disgusting creatures the Amen were. She shook her head slowly as she turned on the heel of her boot and started towards the Cavern she had been told about.     A nest was growing. Arian had been sent to stop it. though she had unwilling said no. Of course in her businesses no wasn't an answer...     Still she growled the sound coming louder and deeper as she stopped in front of the cavern. The deep hole stunk of human flesh and blood. Again Arian felt her throat clog from the smell. She pushed up the sleeve to her leather coat and stared at her watch, "Two hours till the run rises..." she said softly as she stared up at the now semi dark sky.     "The pay better be good..." she snarled her upper lip curling in distaste of the job she was about to do, but it had to be done. Still shutting her eye's she took the dagger that was still in her left palm as she moved the tip of the blade over the pad of her index finger letting loose a fresh cut and her black blood dripping out.     "The pay better be very good..." Arian muttered softly before moving two steps within the cavern and held out her finger letting the sweet smell of her blood run and drip of her finger and into the freshly dug soil. It was when she heard the noise she didn't really feel like hearing.     It was more along the lines of a tiny female scream. Yeah it was the queen. Amen. Well, they were a deformed Vampire in other words... Well these aren't the Amen, these were the Amen Damned. All of which had bee rearranged by a virus which hit the late two-thousands. What a horrible age to live in. Arian on the other hand had been in the mist of Slavery.     But the Amen Damned moved like bugs. there skin almost rotting off there bones. They craved flesh, and loved the smell of blood, and mostly that of a half breed. Of which Arian was. She cursed as she saw the eerie glow of the queen's red hues. "Danmit!" that was when she turned on her heel and moved out, her making a dash for the van that laid on the other side of the forest. Oh no they didn't have to park closer. Arian's body would give out when she reached it.     Still she heard the scream get louder and it stopped Arian. She turned to stare at her. Every queen was different. They were like bee's you needed to either kill the queen or burn them all to hell with sunlight!     She stared at the beast of a woman. She crawled on all fours staggering. Freighting to most. Well who wouldn't be afraid they were like the Undead... since the Zombies thing had gone out style after that era had gone by with a sudden flash. The gods were sick and loved to torment.     Still Arian crouched down feeling her mind settle as she watched the ragged female move towards her. She could smell the black ooze dripping off her finger. "Smells good huh?" Arian said softly before she sheathed the dagger before moving to crawl like an animal around the Queen, if the Damned Queen were to get mad the hole nest would be out here.     "I wonder what element your from..." Arian mumbled softly as she took in the ratted dark hair and red hues. And the rotting pale flesh and the sharp jagged teeth. "Black Amen maybe?" she asked softly before she stopped in mid crouch and stuck her finger in her mouth to clean the blood off her finger. That made the queen stop. She stared at Arian as if she knew what she was.     That had made Arian flinch she was one of a kind... literally. but she didn't want to think about it... She frowned slightly resisting the urge to bare her fangs at the Damned Queen before her. "Who are you..." Arian mumbled softly as she kept in her position if she had to she could kill this Woman. She was Dark Amen Arian could tell there weren't many, most of them had been taken from the virus because of the Element they had.     The Amen had wanted to become human again it was when the Virus has come and twisted them up even more. Arian mentally shook her head at the way the world had turned out in the last couple of thousand years... Still the Queen slowly started to move with those staggering movements the teeth bared as it picked up it's speed. Arian cursed before pushing herself into the air before the creature had a chance to reach her.     Flipping with a type of grace Arian took the blade from her boot and flung it out, it cut through the air and it moving towards the Queens neck of which penetrated the rotting flesh and the now cracked bone. She fell to the earth with a flop as Arian landed a couple feet away crouched down at first and moving to a standing position. The Queen lay motionless for a few moments before letting out a loud screeching noise. of which caused Arian to cover her slightly pointed humanoid ears.     The sound had lasted for a few moments before it died with a choked noise. It was when she heard the noise of several Damned moving, "God Damnit!" she called for her nest. Though the Queen dead the Amen had a couple more minutes giving them time to rip everything little thing apart, they never really did die as peacefully as some of the creatures...     Cursing loudly Arian flipped out her phone and dialed the number of which would be her back up. "Yeah, Ashley, I killed the queen, But unlike the normal ones she called for her clan. I need you to turn on the sun rays. I'm on my way..." she listened for a few moment's before moving to the queen of which she pried the dagger from the back of her neck and wiped it on the sleeve of her coat and shoved it back into her boot.     "Don't give me mouth Wolf, I'll fucking skin you!" Arian sneered before hearing another lurching scream, Damn they knew there queen was dead. "I'll see you at the Van..." Arian snapped before flipping shut the phone and turned on her heel when the first of them started out of the cavern. Arian ran.     "Damned job and Porky mouthed employees... Damned Anthro's..." she snarled before picking up her pace into a full speed run. At times like this she was glad she wasn't human. Her speed normally helped. "You never look back" Arian said softly before moving over the fallen tree branches as she heard the screeching and skittering the Damned behind her. she had to lure them out so when she reached the bus they would all die by then or they would burn and get sent to Lucifer.     Arian grunted softly as she jumped over a fallen tree, these creatures seemed to love to cause destruction, Arian hated it. Again she saw red as she moved faster her breathing turning into pants she could already see the Van in her site. The thing was pure metal. Almost like a tank but the size of a school bus and all black except for Her company's logo 'The Glass Moon' on the side. That was there head boss.     He called himself The Glass Moon because of the way he looked. The man in true words was absolutely hot! Well it was like that in Arian's mind anyway, Coming into the view Arian held up her hand and let some of the Magic energy's she had stored fly out it looking more like a flare, as she felt the grimy hands on her very expensive leather hooker looking army boots. though there hands turning to dust right after. They were dying off... But there were to many.     It was when she heard Ashley's voice ring out, "Do it!" the Wolf snarled before Arian felt one of the solid hands grip her leg and pull her to a stop making her body meet the hard earth beneath her, "Get. Off!" Arian screamed before using the palm of her hand to square break the things nose and back rolling till she was on her feet. As she held out her hand letting more of the Flare come from her finger tips.     "Arian!" again she heard the Wolfs voice as he rushed towards her. All she could see was his white Silver looking hair as he shifted from human to wolf in a couple of seconds. And he was leading them away while there crew blasted the rest with that Light.     The Moon Company was a very impressive Hunter organization they had been formed after the Dark Ages of two-thousand and six to three-thousand and four. They killed what needed to be killed and they did it with pleasure. And Arian was a top killer in other words. They all had ranks. She was in Rank G-Belial. Top in her own game.     Letting out a squeak in pain Arian had been tossed from her feet to the ground as the Light hit. Her crew had found a way to harvest the Sun and turn it into a weapon, But the only problem it being it killed what it needed and hurt everything else.     Feeling the wash of heat leave her body Arian opened her eye's to see black dust flitter around her, she sat up holding her left arm as she looked around. The Van was there and the overly large screens getting folded back into the hatches, "You assholes!" Arian screamed as she stood wobbly at first as she saw Ashley move towards her in his Anthro form. Letting himself shift he changed back into the incredibly tall and buff man he was.     He had silver hair to match his Wolven fur as it brushed his shoulders as it was sleeked back with Greece though not much good it did since his hair like him was wild and went everywhere. While he stood a good six-foot-nine skinny but having a rather well built body, "Boss-Lady you alright?" he asked his voice laced with that cowboy accent. Stupid Wolf and growing up in the Country. Though he didn't look like a cowboy, More along the lines of leather and tight T-shirts and a black cowboy hat.     "yeah but you Idiots shouldn't fire that thing while I'm in the way" Arian snapped harshly as she let go of her arm. it would heal. The hole front side had been burned from the rays, "Well we all know Yall aren't gonna get killed from something a simple as the Sun yeah know?" he said while he patted her roughly on the back. Arian scowled at him.     "Yeah I know, But I'm the boss an-" "And Yall need to know I could take yall down..." Ashley said as he snorted and crossed his arms over his chest. "Damn right wolf and don't forget it!" she stated as she placed her arms on her hips as she started to move towards the Van, "But all I want is to shower and sleep. I'm tired..." Arian said as Ashley followed soon behind her.     "Umm Boss-Lady, Glass Moon said he all wanted to talk to you about something, Hopefully a new mission, because I'm not looking at a large pay here..." he said softly though Arian picked it up. "I'll make the pay big..." she said shortly before having the rest of her crew move out, "Hey there Lady Arian!" Arian offered a empty smile, The cheerful exterior always worked for this kid. And this kid meaning A Princess of New-New York, the place had been destroyed by the Undead and anything else paranormal. though now it had nothing to do but it was a piece continent and harvested by Elves, Arian being Half Light Elf was worshipped when ever she visited and now she had the Princess following in her foot steps.     "Hey there Princess Lavender Rain...' Arian said softly as the elven woman's sandy blonde hair had been tied in a braid that fell to her knee's And her bright clothing, moving to the white Skirt that fell to her ankles and to the white silk shirt that fell into a V showing off the girl's overly large chest. It made Arian feel self conscious of her own body, Though the Elvin princess was rather beautiful, her large neon green eye's shown in the morning light as she moved and wrapped her arms around Arians waist.     "If we lost you I didn't know what I would do, My Father would have a fit that the Wings had died!" she said as the girl sobbed, Arian was confused she looked over at Ashley as he merely shrugged and patted the girl on the back gently, "Mrs. Rain you should let go of Boss-Lady she Ain't that fond of people touchen her yeah know?" he said as she girl nodded and moved to stand to her full height of six feet. Almost matching Arians height. Six Two. Oh well people were tall now a days.     "But Lady Arian is The Wings!" rain protested as she moved to poke the Anthro in the chest. "And I will not listen to an over grown flea-bitten dog such as your self, Mr. Andrew's..." she stated as she leveled her neon green hues with Ashley's now angry white ones. "And me, My Lady will not take yalls words to heart since your nothing but a dirty elf!" he said roughly a growl moving in between words and showing off that Ashley wasn't human.     Rain looked shocked as she gasped at his insults. She then looked to Arian as if she wanted the girl to blast Ashley away with her flare attack. "You two duke it out..." Arian said softly the amusement showing rather clearly on her features.     "Thanks Kindly Boss-Lady..." Ashley said before he moved to growl at Rain, "Don't hurt her Ashley cause then I will be forced to hurt you..." she said snidely before moving into the van the two following close behind as Arian took a seat in the front where the Commander Violet Skyes was operating the massive machine, "Hey boss..." his voice was deep, a bit creepy but he probably knew it.     "Hey..." Arian said softly as she felt Violet shift the vehicle and move in the opposite direction. Violet looked over at her he frowned. "He called you know. He sounded pretty upset considering he has no emotions..." He said as Arian looked over at the Hybrid and frowned. Behind the nerd and super genius Violet would of been considered a hunk. But he preferred to be in the state he was in.     He was rather tall. Not as tall as Ashley but near there at six foot five he had shaggy dark brown hair with natural black and red highlights. His different color's eye's is what caught Arian off guard. One was green and one was silver. He was pretty, Yes pretty was a good word for him. "Is your arm Okay?" he asked softly and Arian nodded. "All I need is sleep... and maybe a bandage..." she stifled a yawn. As she continued to stare at Violet.     He had been created in a lap. A test tube baby with at least every type of spices aside from the Damned in his gene pool. Which was his overly weird looks. Yet he was drastically beautiful. "What?" he asked as she looked away. "Boss you always stare at me. It's kind of disturbing you know?" he said Arian let out a rare laugh as she nodded. "Yeah sorry. I find you interesting to look at." he smiled as he showed off his perfect straight and off sharp curved teeth.     "Your not that bad looking either boss" Arian smirked as she leaned her head against the seat. "So what's the report..." she asked softly as he shut his silver eye and a weird beeping noise came from the inside of what sounded like his ears.     "It took you three hours to find it and a half an hour to have them all killed. The Queen's body from what Falcon says is a rotten mass while the nest is dust. We have Rank-B cleaning it up and sealing off and as well as disposing the bodies from the camp site..." his voice was hallow and still that deep thundering voice as his tanned completion had returned from the white.     It always happened when he gave her the report. She nodded as she ran her hand along the burns of her arm. The coat had been burned. Falcon wasn't going to like it... he always bought her coats to cover up the scars she had aligned on her left arm, the scars themselves were clean cut and in straight lines as they moved to her lower back inner thighs and the center of her chest. And one over her right eye though it was barely noticeable since her skin was so pale.     "You should go see Serenity she could help your burns, it heal faster for your next mission..." Violet said as he turned a corner earning him swears from Ashley and Rain shushing him for his crude mouth. "I swear those two are secretly in love..." Violet said with a smirk as Arian let out a small laugh it was true, the way the two of them fought was unbelievable...     though nodding Arian moved from the front seat as she moved past the two bickering love struck idiots as she moved to the Corner where the Doctor of her crew was. Serenity Karma, She was a witch, well something close to a witch she was more advanced and her blood had been mixed with a vampire making her immune to sunlight and the blood lust though having all the powers and strengths of one.     Arian sat down beside her and peeled off the burnt coat from her arm making Serenity wince some. "You really shock me sometimes you know?" she said softly before moving to her back as she pulled out a large case. "I tried to tell Nitte to not to pull the trigger. That girl will never learn..." Arian shook her head. Nitte, She was a fairy gone wrong. She had been caught in a exoplotion when they had taken out Brooklyn and she had been turned to the full size of human girl. The shortest one here. "It's alright. I heard Fairy's cause problems for others in dominance..." Seranity shrugged as she moved her hands over the burns. "Does it hurt?" Arian shook her head as Serenity started on her treatment.     "So how's Falcon...?" Arian raised a brow as Serenity's pale cheeks turned a dark red Arian offered the girl a smile. They had been married for at least a week now. At least her crew wasn't trying to totally kill each other. Serenity looked up and smiled. "It's been fun...Since he and Violet keep on fighting he whines to me after words..." Arian nodded as she watched Serenity push her Red hair from her face.     Serenity alone looked like Artemas from the Greek Gods Row. Her hair was straight long and red though it had been tied back into a high pony tail while she wore her black thin strapped shirts her white medical apron steal toe army boots and camouflage army pants. She looked like a run away from the Army.     As if she knew Arian was staring at her Serenity looked up from her work and stared at her boss with her large almond color's eye's. "Boss, you alright? the rays normally leave people a bit buzzed..." Arian let out a laugh and nodded. "I'm fine. Maybe tired. Moon as been working me really badly... and I barely sleep..." this time Arian didn't stifle the yawn as she let out a small whimper at the feel of her muscles stretching in her jaw when she moved.     "Boss I never noticed this but your canines are rather sharp..." She said as she took Arians jaw into her hand and moved her index finger around the top part of her teeth. Arian was a bit confused as she tried to speak "Wahait dosh Tshat Hasyt Teo Doe Wisth Anyfing?" she asked as the mixed words got her a little giggle from the Doctor.   "I study and since your a normal patient I take it into hold to try and figure out what you are Boss. Your very unique..." she said softly as she moved her fingers over the long jagged canines and the smaller pointed ones beside those ones. "Your teeth look like there, their to tare flesh off Boss..." she said as she took her fingers out of Arians mouth stared at her as she moved back to wrap around the white bandage on her left arm.     "Hmmm I don't notice them much..." Arian said shortly as she stood. "Tell Falcon I'm sorry for destroying his coat..." she said as she nodded to the burnt leather coat beside Serenity's feet. The red head smiled. "Will do boss..." Serenity stared at the girl before her, Well her Boss may look like a young adult but she was far from it... Arian was a couple thousand years old. She saw the destruction of the world. Saw everything.     It was why she was like the way she was. Her boss had the Eternal beauty she had heard about from HQ From Arian's tell height perfect female's body build to her long bluish black hair to the yellow eyes...     Though it had to be her eye's that gave her away that she wasn't near human. The bright yellow color was pure there was no pupil just color a black rim around the iris. It was a mystery on how she would be able to see through her eyes.     "Were Here Guys!" It was Violets voice that brought Serenity out of her daze as she looked at her boss to find her gone. Wow that woman was quick. "Thank God..." Was Arians reply as she yawned again as Violet came to a stop. Of course to have Nitte shove her out of the way to burst through the metal door. Causing Arian to curse rather loudly as her burnt arm came into contact with the leather seats beside the door.     "Nitte!" Arian screamed catching the fairy's attention. The young girl turned and snorted at her anger. She was the only one who didn't respect her. And she was only here because of  Falcon's little brother... "Shove me like that again and I'll make sure you won't have a head!" Arian growled as she stomped to the girl on the metal platform earning her a few new looks from the other Ranks.     Nitte only snorted as her greenish blue wings fluttered behind her, Her Pale pink hair floating from her wings as her black hues narrowed in anger at Arian.     "Shut up Half breed. You know nothing of pain..." the girl was yanking on Arians chain as the others came from the van to look at the scene the two never really did get along. Nitte just didn't like Arian because of Falcon's little brother's crush on his Boss...     Well the thoughts if the normal argument were ceased when Arian gripped the squeaking girl's throat making her let out a sharp gasp and a choke of pain, while Arian spoke her words deeper and her yellow orbs moving into a swirling red like a cloud.     "What do you know of pain?" Arian asked as she squeezed the girl's windpipe tighter causing a cry of pain to echo out. This hadn't happened before it caused the other's to jerk into motion around the two, it was when Nitte's legs gave out and her hands now clawing at Arian's to let her breath. "I am in command. I belong to nobody. I will not have someone belittle because of something else. Understand Fairy?" she asked softly before brining the girl to her knee's and licking off the sugar from the girl's tear stained cheeks.     "Fairy's cry sugar..." she said softly before feeling Ashley's hand on her shoulder. "Arian calm down..." he said softly before Arian let out a jerking gasp and let go of her neck. She backed away until she wasn't touching any of her crew members. "I didn't mean to..." she said softly before she looked at her hands the tips of her nails was stained with the Fairy's blood.     "You Monster!" Nitte screamed as she held her throat. Arian growled. "Shut up. What ever I did you deserved it you little Twat..." she snorted before crossing her arms over her chest when Falcon and his sibling joined along with Winter Sunrise.     "What in Hells Bell's name is goin' on here?" he asked, Falcon was a Anthro cat. Well a half breed like herself. Though different he was one of the shorted males in her crew, his Dark mane of hair coated with white under as his had little cat ears sticking out from under his army Helmet. "Arian tried to kill me!" Nitte wailed as she stood and ran over to Clover, Falcon's little brother. He too was a Cat Anthro he looked the opposite of his brother if not a little taller. His white hair was gelled up and moved into spikes while having the under roots black.     "Nitte... did you provoke her...?" Clover asked softly before letting out a strange noise as the Fairy girl latched herself on his waist. "Yeah... But she started it when she addressed me rudely..." Arian snorted as Winter Sunrise came over another elf.     "Mistress Arian are you alright..." she asked as she moved to press the palm of her hand against Arians, Arian nodded as she covered her red tinted eyes, "Yeah I had a little break down..." she smiled slightly as she stared at the girl. Winter had a mixture of white and orange hair her ears were a bit longer then that of a normal elves and she was incredibly skinny. But you couldn't tell because of the thick black robe she always wore.     "Where's Devion?" Arian asked softly before looking around at her crew as she counted... "Oh Mistress he should be back at the site with Rank-B he likes to boss them around for some reason..." Arian rolled her eye's explains it people were normally afraid of the Apocalypse demon... Arian didn't know why. Still shaking her head she turned on her heal and started towards the HQ building where Moons Loft was kept.     "I'll see you guys later I need to talk to the Big Boss yeah know?" Most of them had nodded as she started on her way. Most of the lower Ranks bowing there head in respect. Here she actually felt wanted. Moving to the thick black elevator she looked over at the City below her as she moved up the levels.     They lived in Canada the weather had changed it was more normal and not having chilling winters. Plus the mountains were nice to stare at... The world had changed to drastically that she didn't know what was what anymore...  Jerking her attention to the last stop the top floor of HQ she saw the door slide open and there was The Glass Moon Staring at her with no emotion on his face at all that was when she stepped into the Apartment to start her meeting.
