Ahead of her, the witch startled and flickered into invisibility as she entered the Twilight.
Katherine cursed. She hated Twilight. Which was probably why her boss kept insisting she do these jobs, chasing down rogue Dark Ones, who had a tendency to flee that way. Taking a breath, she bore down and followed.
At once everything greyed out, became indistinct, except for the blue-green moss growing on everything. And her prey: the witch was ahead and down, sliding into the next level of Twilight. Not good - already the Twilight was sapping the warmth and energy from her and to go further was going to push her resources. Still, she couldn't just give up - an unregistered witch was a danger and she was a member of the Night Watch. She pushed further, sinking down into cold greyness.
Every Other knew the tales of those who had been taken by the Twilight. No-one really knew what happened to them, but everyone had encountered the touch of one of the unquiet shades of the Twilight. Katherine sometimes wondered if they were in fact dead, or if they were somehow trapped in a state between, neither living nor dead but just... existing. It reminded her of the title of a book she'd seen once.
The deepening chill in her bones warned her she was going too far too long, and she sucked in a breath, summoning her power. If she didn't focus, she'd wouldn't have to wonder any more.
