Chapter 1
My name is Brook Levy, devoted wife to Raven Levy and mother to his children, and I'm going to tell you about how I became his wife! It all started when my mom and I got in a fight about my job as a guardian of humans. I had just gotten home at 3am with a slight shoulder injury… I mean it wasn't like I had a broken collar bone like the notorious Randy O! It was a scratch! But she couldn't help but get worried because I had left the house before she got there to visit me for the yearly visit we do. When she saw it her eyes grew wide and tears started forming but when she tried to see it further her eyes turned icy and dangerous!
She grabbed my waist length black and red hair in one hand and the scarf I wore to hide half my face off telling me if I continued to make her worry about me that she would beat me senseless. I retorted with an icy glare of my own and a comment I wish I could take back even to this day. Her eyes widened once more before she slapped me across the face and heading to the hotel room she rented in town. My eyes had stung as I looked at the floor because my mom had a good arm regardless of her age on me. And when she hit you she hit you.
I walked over to the balcony of my apartment and looked out into the clear night sky. It was summer time in Australia once more and it had just stopped raining outside and the humidity was so thick if I took out my knife I would have cut a piece out of it to eat since I hadn't eaten in 12 hours. Looking at the sky once more I saw that sunrise was three to four hours away and so I had that long to sleep before my daytime life started… I had a job that paid good money and I hated it because I couldn't fight the demons that slept during the day. I headed for my bedroom taking off the goggles I wore on top of my head and the ponytail my hair was in. Shaking my head slightly I felt my hair land softly on my shoulders and back. I sighed stepping into my room seeing the reds I had chosen for the walls and furniture.
My eyes settled on the one wall that was not covered in red…my wall for Raven Levy the most amazing wrestler I have ever seen! I had an autographed picture of him next to my bed in a black frame with a raven statue next to it. I set the goggles and hair tie on the make-up dresses and heading to the closet. I removed the black corset from around my waist hanging it up. My belts followed the corset then my knee high boots. Walking out of my closet in my black and white striped tank top and skinny jeans I headed for my make-up dresser. I removed my eyeliner to add some fresh eyeliner not as thick as I would when I was out hunting demons but close to it. I removed my armbands setting them next to my goggles and hair tie. I stood up and lay on my bed facing the picture of Raven. His shoulder length blonde hair loose his leather jacket open in the front to show off his bare chest and a couple of the tattoos he had. The sword started at his right peck/shoulder and ended close to his left hip. I stared at him sighing over him and wishing I could meet him and have a real relationship with him instead of having a muse in my brain.
My eyes shut close to an hour later. My arms wrapping around the full body pillow I had. I was woken up two hours later when my alarm went off to wake me up to head into my day job. I slowly reached out to the alarm clock smacking the silence button before rising up from my bed and headed into my closet changing into a black tank top and black skinny jeans and slinging a silver belt around my waist. I grabbed my leather jacket finishing the look and headed out of the apartment to my car. I turned the key and put my car into drive heading off to my destination.
The lights were always turning red when I was pulling up to them. They were always trying to make me late to my job but I never was. I was always there ten minutes early. I grabbed my coat because it was supposed to rain later and I wanted to be prepared when I left the bar I worked for as bartender. My gaze went right to left to make sure nothing snuck up on me when I entered the darken hallway. My sight automatically switched so I could see faster than everyone else. Opening the locker room door I went to my locker placing my jacket in it and then locking it since the others would sell it if they could because the jacket was the same as Raven Levy's jacket. I scanned the area while exiting the room and heading to the bar to start my shift.
We opened at 9am everyday for the people who were alcoholics and started drinking that early. I took a deep breath and noticed someone walk in that wasn't a regular. He was the look alike of Raven so bad! I felt like I was talking to Raven Levy when he would come in. As my gaze fell on him his fell on mine and he walked over.
"Good to see you again Brooke!" He said sitting in front of me and flashing me a charming smile. He had a tight black shirt on and a black leather jacket. His hair was tied and it looked like his left eye was bruised.
"Been fighting again Justin?" I said raising my eyebrow at him seeing his sheepish grin.
"Yeah…it was my older brother!"
"Nice…how come?" I glanced up from pouring his drink into a glass and handing it to him. He smiled sipping it and watched the drink for a while before reaching into his pocket and pulling out an envelope.
"Today is my mom's d-day…and instead of spending it alone I got these to take someone with me and enjoy this night like my mom would have wanted us to. But my brother wanted me to stay home and mope around with the rest of the family. And it just got worse before it got better…what I mean by better is that he was the one who has a bigger bruise than me. And I was wondering if that someone would love to go with me?" He flashed that smile again before drinking his drink once more. He slid the envelope over to me and let me open it pulling out the tickets for TNA iMPACT. They were for two days from now! I smiled looking up and nodding. He smiled telling me the time he would pick me up in three days before finishing his first drink of the day.
We discussed what we would do before it and then after and after much arguing we came to one agreement. We'd go along for the ride! When noon came around he left and with him leaving it was like everyone else knew 'cause they all started flocking to the bar and grille to have lunch with co-workers or buddies and what not. I watched wishing I could be in the same spot as everyone else. I sighed watching new faces come in and old faces leave until about 7pm. Then I was finally allowed to head off home to start my night time job since it was a Monday and that was the busiest night for the demons to come out and start problems with the humans and me. I hated the fact that they did this on Mondays. They were supposed to be my days off! But no! They wanted to start crap on the shittiest day in the week! Maybe that was why Mondays were so shitty! They had demons causing shit! I grabbed my jacket and threw it on leaving the front open so I can stay cool but dry since I noticed people in the bar soaked from it raining again. I walked to my car and started it up hoping the idiots were at home so I wouldn't have to deal with them on the road. I followed my normal route home and when I pulled up to my parking garage I noticed a taxi cab near the curb. It was probably my mom coming to start the whole job thing up again! But I didn't have time for that talk! I already noticed a huge group of demons on their way to a main part of town. And I didn't want to risk anything happening to the people that live up town getting possessed by the demons following them. Or the fact that the demons might get into the children because they were hard to get out if they got under the children's skin far enough and then I would cause bodily harm to the child the demon inhabited.
As I walked up to the door of my room I saw the person leaving my apartment and then standing within my hallway…it was my mom! And this time her face was sad as if something had come up from her past and it was that my father wasn't really my father he was a guy who wanted to take me into his home and nurture. As I slowed my steps I noticed that her bags were with her.
"Mom," I questioned walking up to her side. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to say good-bye…" She said looking down at her bags. "This will be the last time you see me because as of today you are on your own with this demon hunting job you do. You can still call me for advice but no more visits! So good-bye!" She said picking up her bags and walking off. I watched her walk away and grabbed the back of my neck rubbing it trying to get rid of the knots I felt forming already. I walked into my apartment and saw an envelope on my table walking over I opened it to find a wad of money as thick as my fist. I quickly grabbed my phone and dialed my mom's cell number.
I talked to her until she had to turn off her phone for an hour on the plane then talked for a couple more hours apologizing my ass off! After I hung up the phone I threw my demon fighting gear and began hiding the hira shuriken everywhere I could. I prefer long distance killings not up close because who knows how strong they are in hand-to-hand combat. As I stalked out of my apartment heading to my car I noticed all the posters for TNA iMPACT. I smiled to myself knowing that I had ringside seats to the show while everyone else would be either in the nose-bleeder seats or at home watching it. I sighed heading to the top of my hira shuriken throwing building and I started chucking them like crazy! The good thing about the demons is that they got rid of the shuriken when they died so I didn't have to worry about the police being on my tail.
When I returned home it was Tuesday morning and I did my normal routine. Took off my demon hunting clothes and laid down falling asleep for the couple of hours I had while staring at Raven's picture on my side table. My heart though was still aching from hurting my mom the way I did. I never should have brought up her past on her. That was unfair and knowing that she knew I didn't mean it made me feel a little better but I was still guilty of what I did to her. When I was a child I always forgave her for the past because she did the best she could when I was growing up and now that I was 26 now why would I begin to use it against her? How about because no matter what I did she still tried to control it like she was living it for me and it wasn't my life! And that I couldn't stand for! But still…to hurt your mom was like a sin to me but she forgave me 'cause she saw it from my point of view and understood why I did what I had and said what I said but still no forgiving myself on that one…
