Shadow Walking

Cara Swann

Abstract

Chapter One - I am a master criminal, a jewel thief to be precise - and quite capable at my trade, if I do say so. You see, I have extraordinary powers that enable me to escape detection, that allow me to never be suspected by the law enforcement community. I am a vampire, and as such, I am empowered with talents suited to this lifestyle; after all, I can scale buildings, become a raven, and pass as a shadow to mortals...slipping easily in and out of mansions, locked museums...taking jewels, art masterpieces, cash if available, then going my merry way. But don't take this as a sign of superior cunning; it is simply a means of livelihood and survival.
