Background: December 30th, 1997 was the happiest day in Jonathan and Grace Tilly’s life, well the fourth one anyway, but this time was special after having had 3 sons, Karl, Ben and John, they finally had a little girl. Karen had an uneventful childhood being raised in the close protection of her family. By the time she was 16 she had become a pretty, if small, girl with an aptitude for working with her hands. Being raised with her 3 brothers had made her into a physically fit girl with a keen interest in electronics and mechanics.
All this changed on July 20th 2014. After leaving a party held by some friends from school, she was walking home when suddenly two strong hands grabbed her from behind and dragged her into an alley, putting a knife at her throat. When she got her bearings she could see 3 more men advancing towards her with a very unsavoury look on their faces. The man closest to her tore her shirt, that’s when it happened. In blind panic she forgot about the knife at her throat and kicked the guy opposite her right between the legs. He toppled over without a sound. The next thing she felt was the pressure of the knife increasing on her throat, followed by the sound of breaking steel. She threw her head back and as she felt his grip break she turned around, slashing at his throat felling him in one strike. The two others where either very brave or very dumb, as they kept moving towards her. One of them punched her in the face; the blow connected but didn’t seem to bother her; her attacker on the other hand was shouting obscenities about her being an Elite while nursing his bleeding fist. But Karen was already moving and soon he joined his comrades on the ground. The fourth one started to run off into the darkness, but Karen’s sight seemed to enhance what little light there was and with one giant leap she was on top of him.
With every assailant lying on the ground in a bloody heap, the initial rush began to settle and she took a look at the carnage around her. The man who had grabbed her was still holding the handle of his knife while the broken blade lay several feet further. His face was covered in ragged cuts. None of her assailants still moved, as this dawned on her she sagged to her knees and started crying. Slowly picking herself together, Karen glanced around to see if someone had seen what happened but as the party was still going on the streets were pretty quiet. She quickly wiped the blood of her hands and started to run for home. It was only there that she fully saw what she had become. Her skin as well as her hair had taken the colour, shine and hardness of ruby. All of her clothes were torn in the places where she had connected with the bastards. All she had suffered from them was a small cut where the knife had broken on her throat. She quickly took of her bloody and torn clothes and stepped into the shower. Finally feeling truly safe she let it all out.
A few hours later her parents returned from their own party, finding their daughter, or at least something that resembled her, still lying in the shower apparently having cried herself to sleep.
They carefully woke her up, which caused to cower away into the corner of the shower, crying: “Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me, you’ll get hurt!” They tried to calm her down, wrapping her into a towel and holding her close careful not to cut themselves, but the sharp edges were gone: “Sshht…Calm down, everything will be fine.” She kept crying tears running down her perfectly smooth ruby cheeks: “I’ve become a monster! I’ve just killed 4 men! How can everything be fine?!” “Calm down, honey,” her mother shushed, softly stroking her hair, “Tell us exactly what happened.” “They…they…sob…they wanted to rape me and n-now…now they are death. I…I can’t really remember w-what happened exactly b-b-but one of them h-had a knife at my throat,” she replied pointing at the small cut on her throat.” “Such thugs deserve to die, trying to harm my little girl, hrmpf,” her father chimed in, ever practical, “It might be best you stay away from school for awhile, at least until this blows over. Maybe you could go to one of those special schools for Elites like that one in Barcelona or that one in Mudaba Adin that has been in the news recently.”
