"They have a daughter, and we need to get her before she runs away and goes to the Yard, got it idiot!"
"Hei, Hei kill the girl got it!"
Two men were getting inside a mansion that had seen better days before, now the walls were covered in blood and bullet holes, bodies of servants, friends and family were scattered around the long corridors of the big house. The men were not even degusted about the scene around them, oh no these men were familiar with all this blood and death, plus they had a mission they needed to complete, kill the daughter of the Earl Coastland.
Said girl was hiding "safely" in her bed room, holding tightly to her chest a dog doll, one she cared much about, her father had bought it for her from a friend of the Coastland family. She was only 12 and scared not knowing what to do but hide.
The men started to approach her room at the end of the hall; their footsteps were rapid and heavy leaving the girl more and more afraid of what could happen to her, not that she was afraid of dying, not anymore, but she didn't want to live this world and let her mother, father and siblings not be avenged, yes that's what she wanted vengeance!
Both men broke down the door, pistols in hand ready to take out the young miss, smug smiles on their faces, killers no less with nothing but a rotting soul.
"Come out, come out wherever you are little girl!" One of the men spoke/sang; he looked to be about forty maybe more, dark face (probably full of dirt).
"Yeah little bitch come out we're not gonna hurt you! AHHAHAHAHA!" The second man was clearly the stupid of the duo, sickly pale face, a broken nose and very few teeth.
The girl watched her soon to be killers from under her bed, clutching her puppy doll to her very one heart, whishing very hard that these two morons would leave thinking she had ran away.
"Hey maybe she already ran away?" the stupid one said scratching his head. 'Yeah that's it I'm no longer here, GO!'
"Don't be stupid! She is still here look under the bed!" Well it looked like the little girl wasn't that lucky.
The pale man looked under the bed and, for the girl's disgrace found her, pulling her by her golden/brownish silky strait hair. The girl screamed and pushed has hard has she could but nothing was working. The other guy came closer to her and punched her in the stomach, this made her cough some blood and drop her doll.
Both men now stood in front her guns ready to shoot, she closed her eyes hopping it wouldn't hurt her to much…
But nothing came, no pain, no bullets sound absolutely nothing, so the young miss open one of her deep forest-green eyes and what she saw was even scarier than the men.
She was in some sort of room filled with deep red flames and black shadows that seemed to be watching her every movement, out of the corner of her eye she saw a figure, no more than shadow itself with the silhouette of a woman, but what really had gotten the girl's attention were its eyes, pure purple blazing with what seemed to be a black pentagram in the iris place.
The figure started to move in her direction like a hunter to a prey, ready to devour and kill the weak. The girl got to her feet and looked around for a door, nothing only four walls a floor and a very spiked ceiling.
"Looking for a way out? Ehehehehe" The figure stopped a few steps away from the scared girl, the silk kind of voice was seductive, womanly and amused by the girl's behavior.
"Tell me your name young miss?" It did not move from its position only stood there waiting for the response.
"A- Anya Co-Coastland "Anya was trembling as much as she could, she felt so scared and alone.
"Oh do not fret child I'm not going to hurt you. As mere of a fact I'm here to help." This time the shadow used a sweet voice, one a mother would use on its child for it to feel safe, and it worked, Anya strangely felt at ease with the figures presence.
"Where am I? Who are you!"Now that Anya felt more confident she could ask the creature what was happening to her.
"Calm down I'm here to ask you a very simple question, one you only have to answer yes or no."
"No! I want to go back send me back demon!" Anya wasn't taking anymore soft talking she wanted to leave go back home.
"DO NOT CALL ME DEMON!" Its voice had change to something grave and threatening, the walls and the floor shook and the fire grew in size and brightness leaving the room even hotter than it was before.
"And tell me child where are you going if you return they will kill you" Again the voice changed to a more calm one, yet it was still strong.
"I…I…Will you help me? Is that why you broth me here?" There wasn't much Anya could do or say, that thing was right she had nothing left no one else to protect her, alone.
"No, no my dear you have me, use me as your own and I shall protect you, I will never abandon you, you have in me a friend."
"And what do I have to do to have your loyalty?"Anya knew this could be dangerous but she had absolutely nothing else to lose, or did she?
"Your soul is all I require as a pay off. I will protect you and help you to get your vengeance and in the end you will give me your soul and you shall be spending the rest of eternity in the far pits of Hell."The thing had its hands extend in front of it for Anya to take to complete the bond.
"Fine I accept." As Anya was about to touch the shadow hands the creature talked.
"You cannot go back on your and I won't be your servant, remember this clearly."
"Whatever"
And with that they both joined hands, a burning sensation started to rise in Anya's hands as she looked down at them they started to burn with a black fire, the pain was so much that Anya screamed as much as her voice would let her, falling on her knees and holding her head the room around her started to spin, violet feathers filled the room and then everything went black.
Anya Coastland woke up with the sun shining on her eyes, she slowly got out of bed and for a moment she thought this was yet another normal day, up until the pain came to her, her burned hands.
"Good morning Lady Anya." Came a feminine voice from the door.
"Who are you! What is going on?" Anya quickly got up and turned to see the strange woman, she was beautiful, spiky raven black hair with purple in the points, round light-violet eyes, long face, she was tall probably 1,70, slender figure and well curved (nor to big, nor to small) just perfect. She was dressed in black leather pants that hugged well her legs, a white long-sleeved shirt beneath a blood red corset and black leather fingerless gloves.
"You may call me Akira, miss." Akira bowed her head to Anya as a signal of respect.
"Are you…" Anya wasn't able to finish her question for Akira was already on her side holding her bandaged hands, how she even able to cross the distance between the door and the bed was beyond her.
"Yes I am. We need to tend to those burns and get them in clean bandages" Akira slowly started to unwrap the old bandages carefully as not to hurt Anya's hands.
"Well I wouldn't need this if you had not burned my hands." The girl was now looking at her bed… 'Wait that is my bed and this is my bedroom! But how?'
"I'm sorry but it was necessary to complete the bond, and yes this is your room and your house." Akira explained with a smile to the young perplexed girl.
'Can she read my thoughts?'
"No I cannot, but I can see people's emotions and feelings by looking at their faces and body movements."
When Anya looked at her hands all she could do was gasp, burned deep in her flesh was some kind of symbol, a dog's paw surrounded by flames and a pentagram in its middle.
"Is this your symbol?" Anya softly touched her hands.
"Yes it is and if you please wear gloves all the time and at night I will bandage them for safety." Now that Akira was finished with the bandages, she headed for the door to leave when a noise was heard in the room, coming from the bed.
"What was that?" Anya quickly ran to hide behind Akira.
"Well there is only one way to find out right!" Akira cheerfully gave a reassuring smile at the young miss.
The older woman quietly went to the bed and pulled up the covers with ease, from underneath a young puppy jumped at Akira throwing her of balance, she fell on her butt with a huff.
"Ah there you are Kuro! I've been looking for you." The little puppy swayed his tail happily and liked his owner. He was very small, not bigger than a normal house cat, he was like a miniature of a German shepherd.
"This dog is yours?" Anya had always loves animals, especially dogs and cats, well dogs because they were so cute and loyal to their masters and cats because her mother always had cats her family crest had a cat in it.
"Yes he is this Lady is Kuro my lifelong companion, he will stay with you all the time and whenever I'm not with you just tell him to call me and I'll be there for you."
"Oh, ok." Anya was holding Kuro and pet him as Akira turn to her before leaving.
"I'll leave you to get dressed; breakfast will be done in a moment. Welcome to your new life My Lady." Akira then left with a smirk in her face.
Sooo what do you think?
