Snippet #2123289

There was the thud of feet pounding the pavement as Artemis ran, her speed increasing as she jumped to kick off a wall while she turned the corner.
Humans called this free running… she just called it running. Usually she wouldn’t be doing this just while on a search job, especially when it was just a vampire she was tracking, but in a day or two she’d be in heat again and she needed to relieve some excess energy.
Just like every year.
Artemis stopped just before turning a corner, sniffing the air.
She’d been following this scent for a couple of streets now, where she and the human police had caught a group of thugs trying to chase something. They’d been ranting some nonsense about a guy but it was the scent that warned her they were telling the truth. So naturally the boss wanted to check it out… rather than let her go on the drug raid they had only just planned that morning.
Artemis somehow felt she was being punished for that time she’d mauled a robbers face. But he had deserved it and it was his own fault… he shouldn’t have told her to sit and be a good doggy.
The scent hit her once more and Artemis walked around the corner, checking the badge they insisted she wore around her neck was visible.
There he was, sat in front of the school with a younger female vampire. This was human territory, no vampires or werewolves allowed on school grounds, only outside. She would need to be careful.
As Artemis walked over to the vampire, her eyes caught another werewolf looking at a cat in a tree… a male werewolf.
Nope, you’re not in heat yet so don’t get distracted. You’re in enough trouble already. She thought to herself, walking past him.
“The idea is not to let them get to the tree.” She said out loud to him while she headed towards the vampires, unable to resist a little jibe no matter how hard she tried.
