"uh, no." I say,summoning the best smile I could get out of my drained mood 'What is going on here! Why do I feel so gloomy?' I asked myself.

I continue walking through Moscow. It is cold, and I draw my think coat up tightly around me. I do not know where to find people that might be interested in helping me, so I just keep on walking. There are no churches anymore. They have all been burned, torn down, or abandoned. Religion has died. Peoples hearts have grown cold and empty. There is no more faith in the land. I am saddened just thinking about it. What happened to make people this way? How have they become so hardened?
I pass some people that are arguing in the street, I hum lightly and they separate and go their separate ways. Peace is hard to find these days. Even with no outright wars, people's hearts are still so full of hatred and malice. The wars break out on a smaller scale. Man against man. Kind against kind. I clutch at my rosary in my pocket with one hand, shouldering my bag better with the other. "...Pray for us sinners..." There is so much to pray for. It is a never ending task. But the blessed mother hears my prayers and relays them... I know that much in my heart. I have to believe. Without faith, life is empty and pointless. Without faith, I would give in to this horrible sinking world, be dragged down, and drown. No, there is no real life without faith.

"Sit down, can I make you something to eat?" I go to my kitchen. I expect that I will soon get a call from the Minsitry of Terror, telling me what my new mission is. "How did you escape? I'm glad that you did. They would have killed you."

"I'm glad too, but I don't really know how I myself escaped."

Lunar stands in the middle of the grassy field outside the villa. He slowly moves, flowing from stance to stance and form to form.
As the werwolf works his way through the motions of Tai-chi his thoughts drift. The martial art is to relax, to release tension and stress.
This is the only thing that keeps him sane. Lunar's emotions have long since been out of control. His rage directing his actions, his depression getting him lost all the time. Only the bursts of happiness and friendship he find once in a great while have kept him from simply becoming a wolf himself.
Of course, maybe then he wouldn't be lonely.
He'd thought about ripping his heart out of his chest to stop it from hurting him. He'd come close many times, far more time than he wished to remember.
Finishing his forms Lunar straightens and sighs, running his hands through his hair. His thoughts are clearer, his focus perfect. He knows what he needs to do.
I need a Pack.

The telephone interupts her.
I am told that The League of the Godless failed to kill a Mythystaian Social worker. My mission is to leave at once, and kill her. I hang up the phone."I have a mission...but I do not care to leave you so soon. I have to do what I must do." I grab her hand, pull her toward me, and kiss her on the lips. I grab my black trenchcoat and walk toward the door. "I'm sorry. I must leave..."

"Alright, goodbye Kith!" I smile a real smile again, regaining my old happiness

"You will be safe here...ironicly. I will be back later..." I close the door and walk through the streets of Moscow. Our spies saw her near an old orthodox church. I walk to the run down church and I see her, dressed in modest clothing walking alone.
I approach her. "I am taking you to the League of the Godless. You must come with me." I grab her slender arm and start walking her toward the League's local HQ. I normally do not work for the League, but since they need her, it is my duty to deliver her.

"I will be safe here, right..." I said sarcastically as a harsh knock came to the door.

A tall man comes out of nowhere and grabs my arm. He roughly pulls me and I follow him. "I am sorry, sir, but I do not know you." I have heard of the league of the Godless. It is the organization that has been systematically destroying the last vestiges of religion around the world. I know that I do not battle against flesh and blood, that my enemy is one that is unseen, yet it is hard not to think of them as the enemy.
"Please. I do not want to go there. Surely you can let me go. I am just one woman. I will not bring the downfall of your precious government. I just wish to help people. To feed the poor. I am not a fighter, I am no revolutionary."

"My orders are to take you to the Leauge, they will decide your fate. I wash my hands of all of this." This is my job, it is not always pleasant. But I must complete it. I walk her to the local HQ, a stout white building. I take her inside to a room wherein someone will be interrogating her. "If your God exists, pray for his protection." I move to the door and don't glance back at her. I leave, heading back to my apartment, where I left Chihira. I get the feeling that something is not right.

The knock comes again and I look through the peep hole to see a little girl, bleeding like heck. I pull the door open and as quickly as possible, tend to her wounds.

An explosion rocks the building where Kith and Chastity are. There is a moment of total silence then the sound of feet running and shouting.
Shots ring out and people shouts more, some of them shouts of pain. Another blast echo rolls down the halls and the shots come closer and closer.
The door at the end of the hall opens and Peter steps out, a .45 in either hand, his face stone. Blood runs down his face on the left side, almost a quarter of his face is gone.
Holes in his body leak blood onto his coat. He looks like he should be dying. He moves down the hallway towards the room with Chastity in it. He hulsters the guns, not expecting anything else to get in his way.

I see traces of blood in the doorway. My immediate thought is that Chihira was attacked by the Minsitry and my mission was a decoy to get me away from her! I slam the door open and see that she is with a young girl, who is wounded. I breathe a sigh of relief. "I have healing powers...shall I heal the girl?"
