Sanctuary: Zee Introduction part 1

Standing atop the huge rock foundation Zee looked down at all of the people below her. The world looked different from this high up but she saw everything now. The men carried guns and blades, and they had followed her back to her home. She wasn't in the mood to play around any longer. Wind whipped through her long tangled hair sending it swirling up in a halo of firey reds. She smiled but not the happy beautiful smile that usually graced her face. This smile was filled with venom and it was all directed at the men who stood, unaware, below her.

"I've lost everything and now you've come to take away more. There is nothing left here but my hatred. You can have it!"

She leapt from the rocks far above the group of men. Her words were carried away on the wind. Her hair was whipping in the same wind trailing her like long beautiful ribbons. She thought of blood and the world tensed around her. Using the powers unlocked by the elders she stepped outside of time. She slipped just to the left of all things. Everything slowed down as she fell, twisting to land on her feet, amongst the monsters who had killed her brother. They slowly turned to see what had impacted the sand. Their actions were all in slow motion. Zee watched their faces as they drew their weapons. She waited for them to become ready but her patience soon broke. She plunged her fist into the chest of the nearest man and he fell back hard through the air. His rib cage was collapsed and blood ran from his open mouth. The fight woud be over before his dying form could hit the sand at her feet.

She moved again, a streak of pale skin and red hair. Men fell with their throats crushed and their bones broken. Most of the men were dying and falling through the air as the few remaining men's expressions changed from the stern look of one entering ernest combat, and to that of one falling off a cliff. When there was only one man left she let her time suppression grip go for a moment. All the bodies fell sending up a plume of sand from the impact.

"Please please... don't"

"You only get one chance. Take up their bodies and leave. Never come back, or I will destroy you. I will make you feel such pain and there is nothing you can do to stop me!"

Zee walked up across the beach, stepping over the moaning bodies of the fallen. She intentionally walked past the last standing man. Now he was frozen by fear instad of the time slip that Zee had just now began to master. She knew what she must do. She had to find the chosen one because the path of a sword bearer was long and lonely. She had only taken the first step. Before she could go she had to bury the bodies of her people and search out the last of the Kreesh. She would gouge them out like a cancer. Before she would leave the place of her birth for a second time she would leave it empty of the blood drinkers.
