Purple Moon
Crescent Moon 3
Kat doesn't even pause, "Move your blocking the door to my room."
Cade grins and steps out of the way, "We will leave tomorrow as soon and we get information from the technicians."
Kat opens her door, "Then I hope that you will be on time for once."
"We'll see," Cade chuckles knowing he won't and walks away.
Kat walks into the sparsely furnished room. Inside there is a bed up against a glass wall that over looks the City, a small kitchen area that is barely used, and a mirror next to a dresser. There a small hall that leads to the bathroom and empty closets.
She walks over to the glass wall and throws her cloak on to the bed. Watching the gray colored Buildings with there fake blue lights and the people that scurry around between them. She sighs and wishes she could be just as ignorant as the people bellow her about the outside world.
She turns from the glass and walks over to the dresser. She takes off the black shirt stained with blood and torn from the battle and throws it into the laundry basket. Standing in front of the mirror she checks to make sure none of the wounds she received are to serious. Her eye catches the purple crescent moon on her right shoulder blade that matches her eyes. It has been there as long as she can remember and the color never seems to fade. She traces the shape with her fingers and they catch the scar that runs through the moon. A sense of relief runs through her like it does every time she sees the scar. She ignores the feeling and drops her hand. Satisfied that none of her wounds were in need of medical attention Kat walks down the hall to wash off the dried blood.

Kat walks toward the technical center. She didn't expect Cade to show up but that didn't make her any less mad. A man greets her at the door to the center.
"Glad you could come. I'm assuming that Mr. Darshan won't be joining us again."
"I assume the same thing."
The man sighs, "Very well I would rather have you here instead of him anyway."
He leads her around people and machinery to an empty room that only had a computer, several chairs and projection screen. He boots up the computer and hit several keys then suddenly there is a map on the projection screen with a red dot on it.
"There was an incident in a small settlement to the north of here. We believe it to be a Blood Alteration that can't control it's power. It is probably a level A but it cause quite a stir when it ripped the throats out of several towns people."
"How many were killed and how did they get rid of it."
"About nine people in five minutes. They chased it off with fire but they think it will be back and with a vengeance."
Kat stares at the map, "Scared of fire and obsessed with blood."
She nods her thanks and walks out to find Cade. Instead she finds a woman dressed in a silky flowing gown with a high slit and a plunging neckline. A knife is sheathed on her visible thigh and two mean looking dogs stand on either side of her. Adalia and her dogs. They growl at Kat and Adalia hushes them.
"I don't know why they do that your the only person they growl at."
"Animals have never liked me."
"But I thought I had trained them better than that but no matter are you off on another job."
Kat nods, "A blood obsessed Alteration."
"Gory bastards those things are. Ruined a good dress fighting one of them. Well good luck." Adalia wishes walking off.
Cade, meanwhile, is sitting with the other male Hunters joking about their recent jobs and other such stuff. When the others fall silent Cade knows its Kat whose approached them. He spins around with the smile still on his face.
"Time to go Cade."
Cade says his goodbyes and promises that he will be back before he follows Kat.
