Luna stood atop the tallest in the building in the city; wind billowed through her clothes and buffeted her wings.  She was having an odd night, it was a night where she didnâ€™t hate her wings and for once felt at peace with herself. Even as she thought this, she knew that the feeling would be short lived; soon her mood would fall again and sheâ€™d be stuck in her usual cynical mood.<br/>â€œIâ€™m too young for thisâ€¦â€ she muttered. Angels were immortal, she had no idea if half-breeds were but at the very least she would live a very long time. Wasnâ€™t she a little young to be jaded?<br/><br/>She sighed dismissing the thought from her mind as she tilted her head back and closed her eyes. She felt the light of the full moon bathe her in its glow. The only thing sheâ€™d never hated about herself was her name. In a rare moment of closeness her father had told her that her name had come from the contrast between her wings and her pale skin, he said it looked like the moon illuminating the night sky. Thoughâ€¦when he was drunk he told her it was because she was the exact opposite of her mother. Where her mother was the sun with golden wings, with her midnight ones she was like the moon. He said the moon would always try to be like the sunâ€¦but the sun would never accept the moon. She had ignored her fatherâ€™s drunken ravings, dismissing them, but in light of past events she wondered if perhaps it was her fate to forever chase her mother.<br/><br/>Luna shook her head, why the hell would she want to be like her mother? A woman who had scorned her child because of cosmetic reasons. As a child she had wanted nothing more than to be like her mother. Now? Now she just wanted to stay out of the harpiesâ€™ way. She didnâ€™t even know her motherâ€™s name; all she knew was the whispers that followed her, about her storyâ€¦and her wings. She might have been one of the best warriors in the armyâ€¦.but that didnâ€™t mean anyone spoke to her. After all this time she was still bitter about being booted from the army just because her mother thought she was a disgrace to angel kind.<br/><br/>But she didn't need other Angels to kill Demons.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Just because the Angels are too stubborn to use a sharpened blade doesnâ€™t mean it has to dull.</span>she thought. A grin worked its way over her face as her mind flashed though what she had spent her life doing. Killing Demons that deserved it, she didnâ€™t kill indiscriminately, only those who left such a bloody trail in their wake that if they werenâ€™t killed they would never stop slaughtering people. Well, and the ones that pissed her off by coming at her first.<br/><br/>Luna shrugged her shoulders feeling the ripples it sent though her wings and she opened her bright blue eyes and a smile lit her face. With no warning she spread her arms wide and jumped off the building. Her wings opened catching the wind and holding her aloft she laughed. It was a strange sound to come from her but tonight she was feeling light as air, and why not capitalize on a good mood? She flew over the city ensuring no human saw her, and flew straight through clods for hours at her hearts content. Of course it got her wet but she didnâ€™t really care, her laughter echoed through the skies, startling birds who must have been wondering what the hell a human was flying for. None of it mattered to her.<br/><br/>As she flew over some of the back alleys of the city a scream pierced her reprieve. Instantly Luna felt herself return to normal.  Her face became serious and her eyes glowed with determination as she dropped towards to a nearby rooftop. Her feet touched down and she tucked her wings against her body as she ran to the edge and peered over it.<br/><br/>The girl who had screamed was being pursued by a large man about the age of thirty. She looked to be about sixteen and she was terrified. The man held a knife and he had chased the girl into a dead end. His intensions were apparent. The Angels she had fought with had qualms about killing humans like this one. They hated these men but thought it should be left to the humans to deal out their own justice. Being half human, Luna had no such qualms, even less when she considered that she had been where the girl was.<br/><br/>She jumped from the roof landing silently, anger bled from her entire being as she followed the man down the alley. Her eyes gleamed with hate as her boots struck the ground with almost no noise, not that it mattered, she probably could have used an air horn right next to him and he wouldnâ€™t have heard her. He only had attention for his prey. Luna moved in close to the man just as he moved to grab her, and threw him against the wall, knocking the knife from his hand. Luna pulled her dagger from her belt and slid it just between his ribs into his heart. He stared down at her and even now she could see the foul darkness that lurked in that mans eyes. He stared at her with hunger, even as he died. She snorted with disgust and pulled her dagger from his body wiping it off on a cloth she carried for that purpose. She hadnâ€™t intend to go hunting tonight, if she had she would have brought her sword but she would be fine with a dagger when it came to humans. She turned to the girl who appeared to be shell-shocked.<br/>â€œYou have a cell phone?â€ She asked knowing that using it would not have occurred to this girl while she ran in terror. The girl nodded.<br/>â€œCall a cab company and get home.â€ The girl dialed a number and Luna could hear the cab service tell her that one would be there soon. The girl hung up and Luna watched her. â€œWhat were you doing out here? Youâ€™re a little young for the clubs.â€ The girl nodded and told her in a shaky voice that she had been out with older friends who had ditched her. Luna rolled her eyes, the girls wouldnâ€™t be so amused when they found out their friend had nearly been raped because of them. â€œThis is a dangerous area to be alone in. Next time, call the cab first.â€ Telling the girl not to do it again would be pointless; she would humans thought lighting never struck twice. She nodded and the cab pulled up. The girl raced to the end of the alley and jumped into it. When she looked back to thank Luna, she was already back on the roof.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Perhaps a club tonight.</span>She thought jumping the roofs to a popular one a short distance away. She had a feeling tonight was going to be interesting.
