~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ CHAPTER ONE
"Bide within the Law you must, in perfect Love and perfect Trust. Live you must and let to live, fairly take and fairly give." Said a young woman with long black hair with her eyes shut and heavily concentrated. There appeared to be many candles around her as she continued to speak.
"For tread the Circle thrice about to keep unwelcome spirits out. To bind the spell well every time, let the spell be said in rhyme."
Her reflection appeared in the mirror before her, but she didn't bother to look, she just concentrated on her words. "Light of eye and soft of touch, speak you little, listen much. Honor the Old Ones in deed and name, let love and light be our guides again."
She finally opened her eyes and looked at the mirror, as if she was looking at her self for the first time. She took out a hairpin and lifted her hair quickly twisting the dark hair and pulled the pin through. Other then all the dark clothes she was wearing something else appeared on her neck.
A barcode.

Meanwhile, Max walked out of her office in search of Dix. She found him standing by the television monitors with Mole and Alec.
"This is great Dix." Alec commented as he looked at the screen.
Dix had found a way to track transgenics in the city, by of course setting up their own thermal imagers (which they stole from the sector cops) on different parts of the city to see if one of their kind was in trouble.
Max joined them to look on the screen, blue outlines appeared on the screen on human people. Dix had set it up so that anything that has a temperature of 99 degrees is shown in blue and everything over 101 is in red, making it very easy to pick out a transgenic from the group.
"How are things going?" Max asked not taking her eyes of the screen.
"Great." Mole said momentarily taking his cigar out of his mouth. "Haven't seen any suckers out there in a while."
Max rolled her eyes at him and turned to leave. "Call me when there's something new." She said before shutting the doors to her office.

They young woman we saw earlier walked through a crowded open market in Sector four. One of the only few left in the city. She searched for a woman who worked behind a stand she visited very often.
The woman finally located her and walked over. "Hi" she greeted. "I need all-spice, angelica root, and Bloodroot." She finished with a smile.
The woman working behind the stand smiled and began adding up the herbs she asked for. "You know, your really something." The woman began.
"Why is that?" asked the young transgenic female.
"Most kids your age spend money on drugs, alcohol, or those stupid video arcades. But you spend all your money on herbs. Twelve fifty." She added the cost at the end.
The transgenic woman took out her money and handed her the exact change.
"What do you use them for anyway?" the older woman asked.
She moved her dark hair from her face and smiled. "Spells." She said and walked off with her supplies.

"We got something!" Mole shouted. Everyone looked up and a few even ran over to the screens to take a look.
"We need recon now!" Max said.
"Where is it at?" asked Alec who was planning the rescue mission.
"South market, sector four." Max said quickly. "Oh and Alec?" she called.
He turned to her. "Yes Max?"
"Be careful."
