The shadows were thick in the alley next to the hottest new club in the city. It attracted young people with its dark d?cor and pulsing music. The clientele dressed in black leather and chains and collars. It was prime hunting grounds.

Katerrina had been watching the place since it opened. She knew the young people were posers. Now it was time to show a select few the reality they mocked. She watched and waited for the right ones to come. The ones she'd singled out over weeks, known by sight and by feeling. None would escape her.

The first was a tall blonde girl. She talked and laughed very loud. Katerrina sent out a call through the Force. She had no idea what hit her when she entered that alley. One down.

Next were two little brunettes. They were always together. Whether they were friends or relatives was never clear. It wouldn't matter. Katerrina let the girls see her. She led them giggling to the alley with promises of sweet wine and drug-laced candies. One throat in each hand and they crumpled to the ground.

The hours ticked past. More kids went past the alley. Boys were ignored. Except for one who was with one of her marks. A curvy redhead who used the club to get attention. The girl hung on the boy's arm. Katerrina frowned. Until she saw the perfect opportunity. She stared from the shadows at another boy. One she knew was a rival of the other. A fight soon degenerated into a full brawl. The distraction allowed the shadows to swallow up the redhead and two more blondes. All the girls ranged in age from 16 to 19.

Six unconscious forms were in the covered transport. Katerrina locked the door and gave orders to the girl to return to the Tower. They would make it back as dawn broke.
