John Constantien was alseep in his bed and he was dreaming of when he was a child and his parents were still alive. He has been having the same dream for years and didnt understand why the fuck he kept having the dream at first but then he really wanted to know why.
" Johnny!" His mother called for him in her bedroom and he ran to her with a bright smile.
" Come here I want to show you someone, someone very special!" His mother said proudly but there was a tint of sadness.
John walked to his mother and got in the bed and saw a little baby a baby girl bundled up tightly and warm.
" Who is she?" Asked John.
" A little girl that will grow up with a happy family."
" Why cant she stay?" John asked abrutly already feeling attached to the little baby not knowing who she was.
His mother looked sadly at John then at the little girl." We are poor John and its best that we let another family take care of her."
" BUT! she has your eyes, nose and same color of your hair! She looks just like you mother."
" I know John but im doing whats best for her."
" Can you tell me atleast her name?" John pleaded.
His mother thought for a minuite and said. " Shadow Fire."
" Whats her last name!" John pleaded.
"Im sorry Darling ill be back I must go."
His mother got up with Shadow and walked out of the room and out of the house but she heard John yell.
" Dont send her away!"
His voice echoed in Johns head and John woke up. He felt the same pain in his chest and he knew what was coming and he got up covering his mouth as he ran to his bathroom sink and coughed up his blood. He stood there waiting for the pain to dissolve and when it did he rinsed the sink out. He moved from the bathroom to his dresser and got ready for another fucking day in this hell of a world. He then got up and walked to the livingroom and grabed a bottle of whisky, a shot glass, and ice. He sat down and poured him some whisky and downed it. He was greatly confused. Who was the baby girl? He knew her first and middle but he wouldnt find much without her last name. He leaned forward and put his hands on his face. He thought of someone. Midnight. He still owed him a favor for him saving his ass. He wanted to know who the little girl was and what does it have to do with him.
John sighed getting up and walked out of his apartment locking it then walked out side to see Chas Kramer. Sometimes John thinks that the kid can read his mind on when to be here to pick him up. " About Dame time." John said to him and Chas just said.
" Come on what the fuck have I ever done to you?"
" Just shut the hell up and take me."
" To Papa Midnights?"
John just humpthed and got in the back seat and Chas got in the drivers seat and drove.
" I really want to meet Midnight John please let me get in with you." he pleaded.
" Yeah you can get in, if you can get in." John said to Chas.
" Awww COME ON!. I never know whats behind thoses cards."
" Thats your problem." John said to him.
Chas drove fumming to the club and stopped but before John could get out Chas said.
" Im not a fucking kid you know ive seen some crazzy shit and you wont take my offer on you teaching me all the things you know. I want to be able to do what you do get that through your thick skull of yours im never backing down on this."
John just gave him a cocky grin " You have no fucking idea whats really out there and I rather you never do so if you want to learn then fine but its not going to be from me." And John left Chas In the taxi cussing at him and John didnt give a fuck. All he wanted to do is talk to midnight.
He walked to the guard and he held up a card and John said " A frog in a dress."
The gaurd nodded and let him through and John walked passed him into the club passing bye filthy half-breeds all looking at him tempting him to break Midnights rule. He walked passed them in utter disgust and reached the door that led to Midnight. The door opened as a half-breed walked out giving John a once over then left. John walked in ignoring the half-breeds actions and said.
" Time to turn in the favor Midnight, Pay up."
" John why do always come in and instantly demand something why not greet talk a little then ask?"
John ignored him. " I need you to help me find out about a girl."
" Whats her name?"
" Shadow Fire."
" Last name?"
" I dont know."
Midnight looked John in the eyes "Well what could I do I dont have a last name and I have nothing of hers so why are you looking for this woman?"
" I saw her only one when I was five and recently Ive been having a repeating dream or memorie of her she was only a baby at the time and its pissing me off because I want to know who she is and why my mother sent her away."
" John, John, John, even I could tell you why your looking for her and tell her who she is are you in the clouds."
" No im not in the fucking clouds Ive been really busy and havent really thought about my memories."
" John the way you tell me your mother took her or sent her away and that she was a baby tells me that girl was related to you and sounds like your mother couldnt afford both you and the child so she took her to an orphanage."
John then leaned further into his chair pissed off " So I have a sister somewere on this damed earth that dosent know she have living family."
" Yes and you wont live for long the way you smoke 30 cigarette a day and the fact that you dont give a fuck I think she is best were she is."
John was aggrivated " I care alright I remembered how I loved her the first time I saw her!"
" MMmmmmm Looking for someone Johnny?" said a familar voice.
John got up and turned around " Balthazar."
"MMmmmmm Just the way you said my name just made my night Johnny."
" Stop fucking calling me Johnny or ill deport your ass back to hell were you stand!"
Midnight slamed his hand down on the table getting both their attention. " You know the rules of my house John"
John let go and said to Balthazar " Get out we are having a fucking meeting."
Balthazar just chuckled. " Mmmmmm I love it when ur mad and ill see you later John hope you find Shadow id LOOOOOOOVEEE to meet her!" He said his eyes glowing red as he left the room.
John yelled " Your never going to fucking meet her so stay the hell away fucking half-breed!"
John heard a chuckling in his head " Try to keep me away exorcist." and the chuckling faded.
John said " I need a goddam cigarette" He then sat back down in the chair pulling out his pack of cigarettes and took one and lit it.
" So will you help me find her?"
" I already know. I found out while you and Balthazar had your nightly brawl."
" Were is she then?"
" She is here in New York."
" Great."
" I can give you the name and number of the orphanage she used to be at."
" Wait shes not there any more?"
" Hell NO shes not she is now 25 years old John but." He said sadly " Shes not doing well she has lost her job and house so she is living with a friend right now."
" You can go to the orphanage and show proof your her brother and they can call her and she maybe happy but she will be pissed."
" How can she I mean Fuck I didnt know I had a sister."
" Thats your problem so you can deal with it and John she has the sight."
" WHAT!"
Midnight just sighed. " SHes sees them but dosent let them know she knows she could get hurt if they did."
" I understand and ill help her along the way she is going to have to stay with me awile then Shit ive got work to do."
Midnight just chuckled " Yeah you sure as hell do."
" Thanks" John said leaving and walking out of the club and silently Balthazar watched him leave with a smirk on his face.
" So Johnny Boy has a sister Mmmmm how exciting."
