Changing quickly, I was now the wife of a bank broker I had a seen on my way into town. Tucking a stay blonde hair behind my ear, I headed into a local cafe to get out of the rain. I needed some food to replenish my energy. I had been changing a lot today. I could never stay in the same form for very long. I needed to be different people.
I sat at the counter and ordered a burger and fries, something quick so I could hurry up and leave. I noted how many people were in the cafe: 5, including me. There was two cooks in the back and two waitresses, one in the front and one flirting with the dishwasher.
Just as the waitress handed me my basket, the doorbell went off, signaling more customers. I paid no heed as I took a bite of the burger. Suddenly there was a gasp among the workers. I glanced up, what was going on? They were looking at me and the couple that had just entered. It was the banker and his wife.
I cursed under my breath and was about to alter my appearance somewhat so that we wouldn't look identical when the manager came out of his office with a shotgun. "You're one of those paranormal beings. A shapeshifter," he said as he prepared to shoot.
I moved so that I was standing right in front of the couple, "Shoot," I challenged. If he missed, the couple would be dead.
"There is a warrant out for all you unnatural beings. None of you deserve to live," he told me. I changed into the last vampire I had come in contact with. HE had been quite powerful and I could use his speed and strength at the moment. The manager shot, and I moved.
Screams ensued as the banker fell dead. I was behind the manager now. I grabbed the gun and bent it with my bare hands. I pulled out a knife I slit his throat. As he gasped for breath, I moved to the wife.
"Please," she begged. "I have children."
"Not my concern," I said, I was ready to lash out, but someone caught my arm.
It was Him. The head honcho himself, "You really shouldn't do that now, Emiko. It is very unbecoming."
I slashed my knife and caught him in the arm as I started my escape. "Your birthmark gives you away. You and all of your kind will forever be hunted. You will get yours," he called after me, anger in voice.
His thugs tried to stop me, but I killed them with swift stabs to the neck. I fled deeper into town, changing into a small seven year old kid. After I was a few blocks down, I was a stray dog. A few blocks later, I was an old woman ambling along. I was outside the town now, a seventeen year old school girl.
Great, now more people would be after me. However, it was unlikely that I would ever get caught again. I could change into whomever I wanted. I could be anyone I wanted. There was no limits to whom I could be.
Continue?
I was going to run into someone, but I wasn't sure how. So, if someone wants to bump into Emiko... :)
