 The full moon shines down on the city of Anla, casting a feint glow over the vine covered gray walls. The massive city with several million citizens, and a crime rate above any other city in the world. It's tall buildings tower over the broken streets, and lights blink on and off causing a strange beauty over the landscape. 

 A lone figure stands up from the building it currently stands on casting a dark shadow over the street below as it watches a crime being committed. A man in a hood grabs a beautiful woman from the street quickly and shoves her against the brick of the alley wall. The mans face is barely visible under his hood, but the woman was beautiful, and well built. 

"I want all the money you got lady, and maybe a bit more." the hooded figure says as he brings his hand farther up her skirt she was wearing. The woman whimpers in fear and distress as she struggles to fight him off.

"No... please, no," She says her voice wavering. Her blonde hair beginning to come loose from her business bun. Her blue eyes showing fear and distress. 

The man chuckles in a perverted way and grabs her thigh forcing it up to his waist. He then shoves her on the ground hard and laughs out loud when she screams in pain. He walks to her when she starts to try to crawl away. He hisses and kicks her in the stomach giggling in glee when screams again.

"I suggest leaving the woman alone." a dark voice echoes in the alley, causing the man to stop and look up. Not seeing anything the man stands over the woman as she continues trying to crawl away. He leans down on one hand and the woman screams again when he bites her wrist. 

A growl is heard and the man pulls away and stands hissing in the air. Suddenly a dark figure flashes over him and he spins trying to glimpse the invisible foe. 

"Who are you?!" the man shouts the question.

The answer he receives is a low female chuckle. the woman watches in horror as a dark cloaked woman in black hair emerges from the shadows in front of her. The woman holds a finger up to her lips telling the blonde to be quiet then vanishes into the shadow again.

The blonde woman just nods mutely and giggles. The man turns hearing her giggle and hisses at her.

"Shut up you bitch!" he kicks the blonde making her grunt in pain an whimper. 

Suddenly there was a low growl coming from behind him and he slowly turns to see what it was. He was expecting a small animal, not the beast that stood in front of him. In front of him stood a massive werewolf, covered in black fur with a white patch on its forehead. It's claws at least an inch long and teeth that gleamed in the moonlight. It towered over the man and roared in his face. The man hissed and jumped at the werewolf. The werewolf easily caught the man and used its other massive hand to snap his neck. After throwing the limp body in the dumpster against the alley wall the beast slipped back in the shadows.

The woman still trembling from the horrific experience stands on wobbly legs, her face marred with scratches and a bruise under her cheek. she holds her hands up to her chest and whispers a thanks the mystery woman.

"Thank you."
