Lily

  Yesterday I’m just a normal sixteen year old teen and the next thing I knew I’m being dragged in a world of the unknowns. It happened so effing fast that I didn’t have time to absorb it. The shocked didn’t come after, though. I guess I’m raised to expect the unexpected.

Want to know what the hell I’m talking about? Don’t worry I’ll start from Friday night, the night that turned my life upside down. Let me start from that beginning.

It’s a typical Friday night. All the high schoolers are partying at some jackass whose parents are at some place far away and probably I didn’t even know existed. It’s none of my business to know. Anyway I’m invited of course. And I really don’t know why they always invite me to those parties. I tried so hard to be one of the nerds. The last thing I want is to be one of those popular kids. I just want a quiet and happy life. And I had enough attention from the boys at school.

I’m not bragging but I do have multiple stalkers. It’s really scary and it’s never fun so don’t ever dream of it. I know lots of you do, my friends do. They’re scary and they’ll piss you to the bones. Hah! And those annoying bastard that put love letters to your effing locker every day? Screw them. Every day is really tiring because of them.

I hate those stuffs. I’m the kind of person that rather stays at home and sit with my laptop than to hang out in the mall with the most popular guy around. But still they won’t leave me alone. Sometimes this life tires me off and I just want to run away from here, somewhere where I won’t be suffocated. I really wanted to. I just never had the guts to do it.

Until today.

“Mom I’m going to a high school party.” I said.

“Take care honey.” My mom replied.

She’s busy at the kitchen probably making dinner as always. I look at her and remember all those times when I was little. I had a vague memory of it though, but still I can tell that she’s a typical mother who loves their family. Then I look at my dad who’s watching news at the living room and my big brother is beside him. Both of them are the kindest male I’ve encountered. They’re always gentle and kind to me even though my brother did a lot of stupid things to annoy me. I look at my family because this will probably the last time I’ll see them.

I do love them. That’s the reason why I’m leaving. They’ll be better without me. Whenever I’m around weird things always happened. I just want them to have a peaceful life and they can’t have it when they have a cursed daughter lingering around.

I give them my goodbye in my desk. I put an envelope for each of them. But still I think I’m a cold hearted bitch because I don’t feel sad. I feel me for the very first time in my life. This is not where I belong. I can feel it since I was born.

So where should I go now? No idea.

A choice can affect your life. I think fate never really existed. Events just happened with the choices we made. And I made a choice and so now that choice leads me here to this situation. It’s a choice that was made in a spontaneous moment. A product of my craziness.

Now I’m out here at the middle of the night, freezing with a backpack full of things I need. I never thought night would be dangerous. I love night time. I’m more of a night person because my mind loves being awake at night than the day. I’m used at hanging out in the night street.

 I don’t want to think what might happen in the future. I don’t want to constantly remind myself that I’m walking aimlessly in the middle of the night with nowhere to go. I don’t want to think that I might be naïve and I’m putting myself in danger. I just wanted to enjoy this moment. I feel so free and I love this feeling.

I stop walking because I hear a footstep near me. Shit is it a Robber? Oh Damnit I don’t care if it’s a kidnapper just don’t let it be a rapist. Oh god.

“Shit.” A voice said behind me and before I can move my head to look, he suddenly puts his big hands to my mouth.

“HMPPP!!” I made a muffled sound. I’m not scared. I’m just seriously pissed right now. And if he’s not stronger than me I can easily put him down. F this situation I’m in now.

“Be quiet.” He whispered. What the hell is with him?!

“Hmmp!” Hah! Take that! I’m not going to shut up until you set me free. I’ll give you back the piss off feeling you’re giving me right now.

“Damnit. Shut up.” He hissed.

“LMPPGH!” I said louder.

“Oh please.” He sighed. “I’ll let you go just promise me not to move and don’t shout.”

Since I can’t respond verbally, I nodded my head.

“Sorry about that.” He said. “But I really need your cooperation right now.”

“Ok.” I said. I’m not going to cooperate first but when I saw his face, oh shit, I never thought I would say that I’m attracted. I’ve never felt attraction before. I’m a cold hearted bitch remember? But this guy? Holy hell! He’s a god, an angel, and a girl’s worst nightmare.

He’s tall and smoking hot. And his face is his best asset. Even though it’s dark I can still see his face (thanks to the moon). He has a perfect nose, perfect lips, perfect golden eyes (what’s with those eyes anyway, I’ve never seen it so intense like that), cute ears and his smoking hot messy brown hair. Everything in his face is perfect. He reminds me of a wolf, not just some wolf, but an Alpha wolf.

“Hey!” He whispered. “Still alive?”

“Barely.” I answered and I tried to make it sound calm. Haha. Good thing I did. I don’t want to sound like a perv. But damn this. He’s so close and he’s still holding me, by my shoulders. And why the hell are we hiding in the bush? Shit, don’t tell me his a peeping tom and I just caught him in the act.

“Just hold still and be quiet until I say its ok.” He ordered and I did.

After a few seconds a man suddenly sprouts from nowhere. I mean it literally. He just came out from a dark smoke like some evil incarnate. Come to think of it he does look like evil with that dark robe he’s wearing. He reminds me of Dath Vader. But what’s there to be surprise? I told you weird things happen when I’m around.

“What did you say she’s not there?” The man said. Who the hell is he talking to? I don’t see anyone around.

“She’s gone when we arrived.” Oh shit. There’s another voice and I can’t effing see him. What the hell did I stumble upon? I wanted to see it. I’m not scared I’m just curios what the hell is this. Instinctively I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. When I opened my eyes, that’s where I saw the shadows. My eyes go wide. I glance to the boy beside me and caught him looking at me. That’s really embarrassing. I immediately put my attention back to the shadow. Damn it’s scary. It reminds me of those dark creatures in Harry Potter.

“Go find her!” The man shouted to the shadow. He’s really mad, more like he’s in a deathly rage. The shadow just simply vanished out of our sight. The man remained staring at a piece of paper.

“You can come out now.” The man grinned. He’s evil. I can feel it. It made my whole body goose in bumps.

“Damn it.” The boy beside me muttered.

He stands up and both his hands are raised. He slowly moves to the evil man. And I’m left alone here in the bush still hiding. He told me not to move until he says it’s ok, right?

“It’s the dog of the council.” The evil man greeted. “Fancy meeting you here.”

“Let’s get down to business.” The boy said while lowering his hands. “I know you know why I’m here.”

“I did?” He replied sarcastically. For some unknown reason that man really pissed me off, probably because he’s evil.

“Nonsense.” The boy said in annoyance. “I should run if I were you.”

Was it just me or did he glance at my direction? Is he telling me to run? Screw him. I’m not going to leave him here alone.

“I should be the one saying that.” The evil man grinned.

“I’m not scared of you.”

“Ooh I know you are. I’m thinking of the things I will do with you right now. Shall I kill you right now and silence you forever? Or shall I send you back to the council barely alive to be a warning? Ooh this is fun.”

Kill? Shit he’s really a goddamn evil jerk.

“Over my dead body.” My boy snarled at him. He suddenly howls like a wolf. What is he doing? Shouldn’t they be fighting right now? I just hope it doesn’t involve guns. I can’t help him with that.

“Your back up won’t come.” He laughed. “I send my men to give him a gift. He’s probably gone right now.”

“No you don’t.” Oh no. My boy is in the verge of rage. He’s ready to punch him anytime and he’s snarling at him.

“Ooh I did.” The man laughed louder and eviler.

That did it. He leaps at him and it’s so fast that I can barely follow their movements. They’re so freaking super human with that impossible speed. I had no idea whose side is winning. Damn it. They’re rolling at the pavement and it’s like watching two animals brawl.

The evil man is stronger. He’s got my boy corner now and I really wanted to help him. Damn right I have a weapon in my pocket. I remember I always carry a Swiss knife with me.

I cleared my heads and my thoughts. I gathered all the energy of my body and transferred it to my fingers. I focus my eyes in the target. Breathe in and breathe out. Feel the wind in your surroundings. Look at your target one last time. And carefully throw the knife like a hunter.

Both of them are not expecting it especially my target since he didn’t even knew I existed. I’m facing his back and the target my mind registered is the back of his head. The knife travels at the speed of 10 miles per hour and it hit directly straight to him. He drops dead with a lot of blood gushing out of him. Shit did I kill him? Did I?

“Let’s run!” The boy said. “Hop on!”

Before my mind can register the shock of what just happened, I was shoved in the back of my boy. He’s running like a ninja while carrying me. I should totally be scared right now, aren’t I? But I don’t. I feel more alive. I feel different like something inside me just awoken.

“You didn’t kill him.” He said as we run, as he run with me on his back. I let out a breath I didn’t even knew I’m holding. I’m just glad I didn’t kill him.

“And thank you for saving me.” He added.

This is really weird. I don’t know what to say. But I admit I’m having fun right now and I can’t hold back my laughter anymore. So I give in and laugh to my heart’s content for the very first time in a long time. He glances at me probably looking if I’m still sane. He didn’t say a thing but he did something unexpected. He laughs too. And we both laugh like an idiot while running around the street like a ninja.

I admit I’m glad I run away and I’ll stop thinking what might happen anymore. I’ll just follow my instincts from now on.

Riel

It’s the cold season and instead of staying warm in my room drinking hot chocolate while watching zombie movies with my best friend, I’m stuck here in some Asian country, stuck here in the bush hiding while waiting for some evil man to come out. Our job sucks. Holidays doesn’t exist for us. Where the hell is that idiot anyway? This sucks a lot. It’s really annoying to be the responsible one in the party. 

It’s so damn hot in this country and it’s starting to get on my nerves. Damn that stupid jerk taking too long. Doesn’t he know that it’s fucking itchy hiding in the bush while waiting for some action to happen? Whose idea is it anyway? All they just asked us to do is to observe a man who’s probably dealing with the dark side. This sucks!

I suddenly heard footsteps from afar and my panic button snaps. Shit he’s early. I don’t think can handle him alone. Damn you Aeros get your ass back here immediately. Damn you.

Wait what the hell! It’s a girl. Shit it’s a random civilian. I don’t know what to do. I have two choices ignore her but she will ruin my spying if she won’t get the hell out of here or get her ass here and hide her but it will lead her to danger. Screw that I’ll just do what my instinct told me, it had never failed me before.

Without thinking I rush out to her. What the hell am I doing, I’m probably scaring her and she’s probably thinking that I’m either a kidnaper or a rapist. What the hell is my mind thinking? I should have planned this through carefully.

“HMPPP!!” She said thrusting herself away from me.

I need to make her calm. She needs to trust me. I just hope she will listen. I did all I can and she finally agreed with me. I promise to let her mouth go but I’m scared she will shout the moment I did it. I trusted my instinct and it’s telling me to trust her.

This situation is really awkward. How the hell did we end up hiding together in the bush? That’s probably me. But what I don’t get is why she’s being cooperative. Is she insane?

I glance at her to see if she’s ok but what I saw will hunt my mind forever. Shit. She’s so fucking beautiful. I’ve never been so attracted to someone before. She has the softest black hair and the most stunning dark eyes. Her face is perfect and she’s so damn sexy. She smells so damn delicious and I’m probably drooling right now. She smells like lavender. I’m not a pervert but right now I just want to kiss her. Damn this, her face is so close to mine. And my heart won’t stop skipping its beat. Who the hell is this girl? I’m totally a goner and I’m so fucking turned on right now.

I’m staring and drooling at her that I’ve forgotten about my job. Where the hell is Aeros? He’s ruining the plan. I needed back up if I’m going to deal with Heron.

But it can get worst. Heron’s finally here just like what our informant told us and Aeros is nowhere to be found plus I had a civilian with me. I’m screwed.

He’s talking to his shadow slave. It’s one hell of a proof that he’s really dealing on the dark side. I have a reason now to arrest him but I have to remained still. He had the upper hand if ever we fight. Those shadows really scared the hell out of me. I had no idea who they’re talking about. He’s looking for a girl? Looks like there’s more to this case.

Remembering about my girl I glance at her to see if she’s ok. She’s really insane for cooperating with me under this circumstance. Good thing human can’t see those shadows. It will freak her out. But what I saw in her face is something I never expected. She’s shocked. Shit. Don’t tell me she can see those things. She glances at me and in that moment I know she really can see them. Who is this girl?

“You can come out now.”

Shit. He knows I’m here.

I just hope something good will happen for listening to my instincts. Everything happened so fast and the next thing I know I’m brawling with Heron. I’m really pissed right now and his vampire blood is adding negative energy to mine. Werewolf is stronger, meaning I’m stronger, but he’s faster and I’m barely keeping up with his attacks. Then suddenly I’m cornered and I can’t move. Shit a spell. When the hell did he executed it?! I can’t die here! Damn this.

Why is it not a full moon today! Damn it! I’m the verge of transforming when Heron suddenly falls and the spell was lifted. I had no idea what happened then suddenly my girl run towards us. Her hands are shaking. That’s where I saw Heron’s blood and that’s where I understand what happened. This girl is not normal. She’s not safe here. She needs to come with us.

“Let’s run!” I yelled at her. She obeyed but she’s so fucking slow and the longer we stay the more Heron’s wound will heal. It’s faster if I carry her. Now I’m running as fast as I can with our lives on the line. And the next thing I know I’m laughing with her. This girl is really weird and I can’t help but get attracted with her and her laugh, damn I can listen to it forever. I’m really a goner now.

I’m about to ask her who and what she is when my cell phone suddenly rings. It’s probably that damn idiot. He’s still alive.

“Are you ok Riel?” He asked.

“Where the hell are you man?” I said sarcastically.  “Our plan was really epic.”

“Hey I was attack. And for your information I found out something. Now get your ass here. Just use the GPS man. I don’t know either where I am.”

“Got it. Just stay there.” I warned. “This evening is not really pleasant to me.”

“Ditto.” He hung up.

“Hold on tight.” I said to my girl and I run faster.

Aeros

I know he can handle himself so I left him spy alone while I buy snacks for us. Our job is never easy but we can also never neglect food. It’s important to our life, more important than a job.

I’m on my way to seven eleven when I notice there are six people tailing me. Lucky for them I’m on my way to buy food so I’m in a good trance right now. I had no time to deal with it so I ignored them.

I bought seven yogurts and a take-out of five burgers and three large fries. We can live with that for now although I can’t guarantee that it will be enough to suffice our stomach. It will not but I need to go back. I feel guilty leaving my best friend alone in some random street hiding in the bush. Man I hope he’s ok. I feel like a jerk.

I’m not a fast runner like Riel (because he’s a werewolf) but I’m faster than a person in a bike, maybe just faster it. I just wanted to get this done as soon as possible and I know Riel wanted it too even though that man is a workaholic. He’s the responsible one and I’m the jerk one.

Then suddenly the worst thing happened to me. Those fuckers that have been following me caught up and they blocked my way. That’s not the worst that happened. My yogurts, those precious yogurts, they were crushed by the impact.

They’re all at the floor and they’re now inedible. Who would have done that? Nobody ever messed up with food, especially mine. They’ll pay for it. Now who’s the fucker who did it?

Heh, it’s our little friend, the shadows. Heron’s an idiot if he thinks he could kill me using his little slaves.

There are six of them surrounding me. They’re chanting a spell and I know what spell it is. It’s a caging spell. Tsk, they suck at it. If I will be the one doing it, it won’t take that long. They’re such an amateur. I was pissed. He’s underestimating my ability. So now it’s my time to show them how a spell is really done.

I don’t need to chant those words that no one ever really understands. I’ve memorized them all inside my head. I just need to close my eyes and look for the spell I need. There are hundreds of red strings inside my head and they represent each and every spell I know. The one that will turn white is the one I need.

I see it!

I just have to grab it with my imagination. Then I’ll open my eyes, inhale and exhale, gather all my energy in the spell and I just have to snap my fingers. And the spell is done.

In just few seconds they explode one by one from right to left. I didn’t give them an easy death. They’re still alive. But they’re slowly being burned by a holy fire. That’s for what they did to my yogurts. I want them to suffer.

“What the?!” yelled another voice.

There are seven of them? How come I didn’t notice him? No he just arrive at the scene and this one is the big one. He’s the leader and probably stronger. Shit, I can only use Holy Fire once a day.

“And who are you?” I said towering him to make him scared. I need him to think that I’m stronger while I think what to do.

“You can’t fool me boy.” He grinned. “I know that spell. And I also know its weakness.”

Double shit.

“You think that’s the only spell I can do?”

“I know who you are boy.” He laughed. “You’re the Nephilim who scored the highest at the guardian exam. Aeros. The prodigy son of Salamander, the angel of fire.”

“How the hell do you know that?” Now I’m really beyond pissed. I’m so fucking mad right now. He didn’t answer. He just smirks at him.

“I’ll ask another question instead.” Trying to calm myself. “What are you working with Heron? You shadows never work for someone unless it’s something that would benefit you greatly. What is it?”

“Am I going to tell you or not.” He grinned. “Ok I will since I’ll kill you later anyway.” Yeah right, over my dead body.

“We are looking for a girl.” He said and showed the picture to me.

“Is that a joke?”

“It’s your choice not to believe or to believe.”

“Who is she?”

“Now I can’t tell you that.” He smirked. “I’ve given you enough information already.”

I already know what’s to come. It will be the moment that he’ll kill me with a lethal spell. But I’m smarter than him. While he’s talking I’m searching for that spell inside my head. A spell that can make me get the hell out of here.

I count from one to three and then a lightning flash everywhere. It will make him blinded for a while. Shadows only operate at night so they have a great weakness in light, especially holy ones. I let out my wings and fly as far away as I can. My life is at stake here, it’s no time to run my pride. But someday when I get stronger, I’ll kill him. I’ll kill the leader of the shadows.

It’s really exhausted to use three spell at a time when you’re hungry plus the flight made me more tired. I called Riel as soon as can and I hope I’m safe here at McDonalds. I know I am since nobody in our world wants to make a scene. We’re all made to be the unknowns. We live in secrecy.

A few long minutes later he arrives. But not alone, he’s with a girl. A beautiful girl he just seen a few minutes ago in a picture.

“Holy Shit.” I blurted out and the three of us look at each other confused.

What the hell is with this situation?

Who the hell is this girl?
