I put Davincent behind me protectively, racking all the minds around. I felt one shy away from me. Bingo. I tried to clue into it, but it evaded my probing, now that it was conscious of my effort. I gave up, instead looking for someone who might be close... it was coming from the northwest... Aha. I could feel the fear. I entered the girl's mind a second before it was destroyed.

He nodded, shooting away as fast as his Vampire legs could. I flexed hands, shrugging off my cape and shoes, flexing my feet expertly. Baring my teeth, I gave out a piercing yowl and hurled myself at the wall of the tunnel. The force of the blow sent me a good way through the earth, as I scrabbled viciously through the last layer of earth and tumbled into the room beyond, I gained brief access into the Assassin's mind. Apparently I had created a mini earthquake. 2008-05-25T21:39:45Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/30072 <p>I seriously love this series.
