It had been a risky day. I got the sensation that Sion saw me, or almost, but I still have the arts of stealth that I learned in my dark days as a thief. Though being dark-skinned is not uncommon on Earth, the sight of me would certainly cause no small amount of trouble.<br/><br/>I saw Sion as she exited the school. Now was the chance. I followed her until she reached a place far enough away from anyone else that the sight of a tall, midnight-colored man snatching her would go unnoticed. I can't pull off my mind trick while someone is looking directly at me.<br/><br/>As Sion walked, I came up behind her, walking at an equal pace. I grabbed her from behind, One hand covering her mouth.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry. I truly am sorry. But I need to take you with me," I whispered in her ear. Did she feel terror right now? Surprise? Anger? Probably. But I couldn't dwell on that.
