Prologue
All my life I'd wanted something more, something more than that desk, in that building, in that shitty part of town. I would sit at that desk, taking calls, and doing paper work, but nothing big ever happened. The only thing I ever found strange was I never knew what all these hot shot people were really talking about in those council rooms. In fact, everyone I talked to didn't know. The place was so secretive, a mystery in itself.
But still, everyday, for two long hard years, I sat at that stupid desk, and dreamed of something better. I dreamed that one day some hot rich man would walk through those doors, see me, and sweep me away to his giant mansion, in his million dollar car. Of course I knew that would never happen, but a girl can dream right?
So I sat at that desk everyday, with my lanky brown hair, soft green eyes, and not so perfect body, trying not to stare at the people that walked in. I would open the doors every morning, and close them every night, still hoping my prince would ride in. Or maybe I'd get a raise, something that would bump me up a bit, give me some adventure. Maybe even figure out the big secret behind this building?
Man was I in for a big surprise.
Chapter 1
It was almost mid-night, and I was filing papers away for my boss for tomorrow morning. The lights in the building flickered for a moment, and I shuddered. This place had always given me the creeps, which wasn't exactly a good sign. I had come from a long line of psychics, and even though the "power" had seemed to pass me by, I could still "feel" things.
I shut the filing cabinet, and started toward the front desk to grab my coat. The janitor had left almost a half hour ago, so I was alone here, yet I could almost swear I heard footsteps down the hall. I paused, feeling the hair on my arm stand up.
Everyone in their lives has watched at least one scary movie. The kind were, one of the character hesitates, and you stand there going "Don't open the door dip shit!" or "Are you a moron! Don't go down that hallway!" But in the end they do it anyway, and their head gets cut off, or they get stabbed through the heart with a metal pipe.
This was one of those moments, and I stood there telling myself, "Don't do it stupid, don't do it!" But I did it anyway, turning involuntarily, and walked down the hall toward the footsteps. They stopped for a moment, but I kept going, moving closer and closer to where I'd heard the footsteps.
I hesitated at the corner, trying to force myself to run back the way I'd come. Yet I turned the corner anyway… and regretted it.
A man stood in the hallway, in front of the electrical box, messing with the wires. I might have decided to pass him off as an electrical man, and turned the other way. Only he looked nothing like the electric guy. He was tall, with long black hair that lay on his shoulders, and down the base of his neck. He wore a huge black cloak that covered his entire body, stopping just above his black polished shoes. I really couldn't tell if he was male or female, but something inside me told me, he was defiantly male.
He paused in whatever he was doing, before whipping his head around to look at me. He wore a white mask over half his face that stopped just above the nose. There were no holes for him to see through, only painted on eyes. Two terrible scares ran down from under the left side of the mask. One stopped above his cheek bone, while the other ran all the way down to his chin, mutilating the corner of his mouth. That's when I realized he hadn't been messing with the wires, he'd been putting bombs in the electrical box.
Despite the mask not having holes, he didn't seem to have any trouble seeing. He raised his upper lip threatening, exposing his teeth… I mean fangs. They looked as if he'd filed them down, the points were so sharp. I felt as if I'd been shocked, as if I was going to pass out. A terrible vibe was coming off him, and hitting me with the force of a tsunami.
"Little humans aren't supposed to be here," He growled. His voice was deep, yet sweet as honey, and I was suddenly very sure of one thing.
I didn't want to mess with this man.
