From that point on I had no trouble defending myself and I needed to very often, but thanks to my new weapons and my new coat I came out without a screah on me every time. Soon I was only given high class delivies to do, which for me was great because I got fewer of them each day and I got paid more to do them. This gave me time to do the one thing I came to the city to do and that was to see the world, I would take time out to look at all the places around every time I was out on a delivery.
Before I knew it three years had passed, I had seen so much and done so much in that time. I actually started to get a nick name in the city. They called me the shadow, because all that was seen most of the time when I attacked was a shadow.
It wasn’t till almost three years after reciving my new weapons that something began to happen in the city that was just off. I couldn’t fully understand what was going on but for some reason everything in the city just felt as if it was not the way it should be but then again I might have been wrong after all I didn’t fully understand how the city ran still. However I knew something was off just by the way adam was acting all the time now.
I was then gaven a very odd delivery to do. It had no recepent and no collection of payment all it had was a drop off point. All that was written was. “this package must be set on the ground then, the deliveier must leave within a twenty count of setting the package down.” I thought this was odd and I had to kow why the instructions said this.
So I took the package to where it was to go and I set it down then vanished. I fell back out of sight and did the count, once I hit twenty someone showed up out of no where. “Wait a minute did he just phantom step?” I said out loud shocked by what I just saw. This just couldn’t be there must be something else and I had to know now not later. I appered behind the person and pulled my blade, to there neck from behind. “how did you do that, and what is in that box.” I asked as I pull my blade to their neck touching it just a bit.
“The same way you did, and if you can move like that you should know whats in this box.” Her voice said clamly. What she said caught me by surprise what could she mean by I should know whats in the box if I move like her. “I have never seen any0one use a weapon while moving like this, you must be something special. But I’ll tell you whats in the box I’ll even share with you if you lower the knive.” I was a bit resistant at first but I lowered it. “now tell me whats inside of the box I want to know whats in it before I decide to change my mind about lowering my knife.” She slowly turned to me and held the top of the box to open it, then her the white in her eyes turned blue, and she vanished in the air.
“I was hopeing you would make this into a chanalge.” I said with a smile, as I vanished, reappearing right behind where she had stopped. “your cute you know, but come on you don’t expect me to be that easy to get away from when you have one of my packages.” I said to her as I took a step closer to her, she gasped for air. “come on leave me alone its not like I didn’t pay for this its mine and I need it.” She said as she stumbled over then vanished. “that’s so cute she thinks she can get away from me, like a little kid running from a parent.” I said to my self as I thought about what she said, what did she mean she paid for it and she needs it. Oh well I will be finding out soon.
I appered behind her walking to her, she was stumbling like she was in pain trying to get away from me. “Lady, are you ok. Well I know that’s a dumb question I can see your not doing ok. Guess your feeling the effects from moving so fast aren’t you.” I said to her as I walked up to her. She turned her eyes were blood red which wasn’t a cute look. Then she pushed her self up as much as she could and I knew what she was going to do. I looked up and saw that the valley ahead of us had a steap ditch in it and I knew if she tried she would end up in that ditch most likely dead. “Lady don’t…”
