Neema the Light

On Duty

Newark, New Jersey

"Neema, don't let him get away!"Officer Miller, her partner, encouraged the sorceress.

"I'm on it!"Neema affirmed.

As the full moon hovered over the city of Newark, New Jersey, Neema and her team of police officers chased a giant brown werewolf in pursuit of arrested. Neema Okoro, comes from a bloodline of Nigerian sorcerers who study light magic to defend their villages from dark creatures that haunt the night. Her people serve no demon and do no evil; they are only on this earth to protect the helpless from creatures that plan to harm others. In her prime, she joined the STF, the Supernatural Task Force, to aid the police in catching supernatural criminals. Even though she was born in New Jersey, he loved that her job aligned with what her tribe believed in Nigeria. She was proud of herself as one of the few black officers on the STF team and one of the few to know light and earth magic. Light magic is a sacred skill that takes a lot of energy and skill she's still honing. However, she's constantly training and always learning new skill sets.

"Neema, what's your location on the wolf?" Officer Miller asked in her earpiece. Neema hovered over the town on her light saucer, using her magic. Since she couldn't fly, she used her levitation magic to ride on her saucer to chase the fleeing werewolf below. It was as if she was surfing the air itself.

"He's heading north onboard street." She told him in her earpiece. "Chance, I need everyone to head that way!"

"Roger that. Slow him down to give us time to get to both of you." Chance told her.

"Got it." She affirmed confidently.

Neema dove down on the fleeing werewolf and began to shoot pink ultraviolet bolts at the wolf to slow down his run. Neema's eyes glowed bright pink as her magic activated, giving her the fierce look of her people. Neema only managed to burn him once in the leg in her pursuit; he kept dodging her attacks as he realized she was above him. She chased him in the busy street to get closer to him, avoiding moving cars while doing so and causing traffic. She kept a light bolt in one hand, ready for him as she waited for the right moment to hit him.

"Sorry, everyone, werewolf coming through!" She warned.

She tried her best to aim at the beast without causing too much reckon the street. . 'I just need a clear shot.' She thought to herself. She shot at his legs again, making the beast lose his footing and tumble on the street, hitting a couple of moving cars along the way. ' Got you!' The beast quickly got on his feet and shook off the impact. Before he can run off again, the sorceress summons a light whip to wrap it around the beast's neck like a leash. The werewolf snarled as the ultraviolet whip burned through his dark fur and skin as he pulled and tugged. His brute force knocked him off her magic saucer, but she regained footing and planted her feet on the street.

She used all her strength to pull him back as the colossal beast tugged and pulled, snarling. "Dude, you are under arrest!" She said through her teeth.

The beast stopped pulling and turned to look at her with his piercing amber eyes and sharp incisors. His dark fur spiked, and his tall ears fell back against his head in full anger. He snarled and began to charge at her at full speed. She released the hold of her whip to summon a force field to protect herself from the wolf's pursuits to attack her. Her force field sent him flying back as he tumbled into the street, hitting cars along away. The sorceress chased him as she fired light bolts that burned at his fur. The wolf got up quickly and launched himself into a window of a brick abandoned building; she quickly followed suit as she smashed a window with her light bolt to get inside. She hissed as she cut her shoulder on a jagged piece of glass as she entered a window; however, she ignored the small blood that ran down her arm.
