Hey guys, here is another story that I have been working on. Enjoy!

"Max!" I heard a voice scream as I sank my knife threw the demon that I was fighting, finishing him off. He, or she, was an ugly thing, all pale almost white body with a hunch back and arms that dragged on the floor cause of it, with bottom teeth that went over the top that was dripping blood. The grossest part was he was naked not that they had anything, since he was a demon but still. I looked in its eyes as I drove my knife through its heart, its disgusting yellowish brown eyes that lived to kill humans and eat their bones.
I looked up to see Ella being tackled at the legs by the same demon I was fighting, since they were short and barley reached my hips, but they were still killers that can rip your head off. I ran towards her as it started to claw at her clothes.
I pulled it off of her with one arm, and pushed it against the wall. I stuck the knife that was in my other hand through it heart, and watched its body go lifeless and still. I took my knife out and through the demon to side.
"Damn it, Ella!" I yelled as I turned and saw her shirt ripped at the stomach with a cut that showed four claw marks there. She sat up and winced a little as she did.
I kneeled next to her and pulled her shirt up a little to look at the cuts, they weren't deep but she still bled.
"Ella, how many times have I told you to be careful? You could have been seriously hurt." I scolded as I put her shirt back down and helped her up.
"Max calm down, I've been in worse conditions. Plus, if you're out here fighting all the time why can't I?" She asked stubbornly. I looked at her with a blank face, convincing myself to not hit.
"Go home, I know you've hunted with me before but today it's too dangerous. We've already killed six demons." I said pointing to the end of the alley towards the woods to which our house was at.
"Oh come on Max, just because I'm not as experienced as you doesn't mean I don't know how to fight." She argued; mad at me for technically calling her weak.
"Still I'm older and I say you get your ass back to the house, now." I said looking her dead in the eye.
"Oh my god, for only two years! So what!" She yelled backing away from me, throwing her hand in the air.
"Exactly, I'm seventeen and you're fifteen." I pointed between us for the ages, "Which makes me older, now go. Plus, we have school tomorrow." I said pushing her to the end of the alley, she stopped and looked at me; she always had something to say before I kicked her out.
"Fine but your suppose to be training me, I mean you started hunting at fifteen when mom died. I just want to help out by being as stro-"I cut her off by grabbing her shoulders and looking her in the eye.
"Ella that's too far, and not fair. I did it to protect you and avenge mom. That does not mean you have to follow in my footsteps, understand me." She nodded and looked down, ashamed for bringing mom up. "Now get your butt home before I beat it." I nudged her shoulder playfully and put a fake smile on that no one can see through.
"Alright, I love you Max," She hugged me," and be safe. I expect you home before three am, at least." She said pointing a finger at me as she walked backwards towards the path to the woods.
I rolled my eyes and turned back to the New York buildings, I was heading towards a different alley when ugly green muscle-ly demons with ripped clothes, ha-ha sort of like the hulk, except his teeth were sharp and sticking out, and his eyes were pure white. Came and stood a few feet in front of me, his shadow was over mine since he looked about six foot four, I was only five foot six.
"Here's a gift from Jeb." He said in a voice that matched a heavy smoker. He started to advance towards me but I held out my hand and spoke.
"Whoa calm down Hulk, first things first. Who the hell is Jeb? And why can't he face me himself?" I said counting off my fingers while leaning on one hip.
"Sorry but I don't think you'll live to see him" He said in an evil smile that showed his sharp crooked teeth.
"If you say so, but here my message to him." I said taking out the knife from the back of my pants, "Bring it on hulk." I motioned him towards me with my knife.
He ran towards me and that's when the real fun broke out.
…
I got home at 2:55am, Ha Ella! I was tired out and had green goo, or blood, all over me. Who knew he was green on the inside too. I couldn't stop thinking of the silver collar that was on his neck when I sat on top of him and finally dug my knife threw his head. I was blinking read and I heard something that sounded like a camera zooming in and out.
Thinking nothing of it I checked up on Ella. I opened her door to see her asleep on her stomach and one arm hanging over the side of the bed and her small snores passing through her lips. With a smile on my face I wiped my lips, to clean any green slime, and gave her a kiss on the part of her forehead that was facing the ceiling.
I quietly shut the door and headed to the bathroom; I looked in the mirror and saw numerous cuts on my face and body with green and red combined. From my own blood to the demons, I started the shower water and stripped my clothes and looked back in the mirror to see more cuts and bruises on my body.
I looked away disgusted and stepped in the shower, the hot water hit the cuts and bruises. It burned a bit but I got used to it and looked down to see all the blood down the drain. Green and red swirled around the drain like a tornado and finally went down. I washed my hair and body with the little products we had left -note to self by more shower supply-.
After the shower I threw the shirt I had away knowing it was a lost cause to scrub the stains out but everything else I can still save so I put them in hamper. I finally was in my bed at 4:50am and fell asleep with one thought in my head.
Who the fuck is Jeb?
…
I woke up at 7am sore, I looked in the mirror to see myself healed. I love that I heal quickly; I guess my body got used to getting cuts and bruises. Now all I have left is the little bruises and sore spots on my body from the cuts that used to be there.
I quickly picked out the only pair of un-ripped pants I have left, since the jeans I wore yesterday got ruined on the third demon when he tried to drag me by my feet, and a shirt that was a little baggy since I didn't feel like having clothes rub against my bruised skin.
I walked down to see that Ella looked in the good side of her closet and a pair of tight jeans and a floral top with matching jewelry. She was sitting at the table eating microwave pancakes since I suck at cooking and I highly doubt she's in the mood to cook. She doesn't heal like I do, I think it's because her body isn't used to getting hit but she thinks otherwise.
I got out a bowl and ate the last bit of Lucky Charms cereal we had left; I threw the box in the trash. As I was eating the last bit Ella spoke up.
"We need to get more food, and we need more clothes." Ella stated throwing away her paper plate.
"Okay Ill see if I can scrounge up some money at the bank, if we have any left." I said putting my bowl in the sink.
"Ok and the mail is right there," She pointed at the table next to the couch" I'm going to go get my back pack." She ran down the long hallway as I looked at the two envelopes; one was from the school and the other from some old home. We never got any bills since our house was taped into the power and water line without them knowing. Our mother was vet and volunteered for something against pollution and was all for saving the world, so her and her friends all built this house together.
I opened the one from school and was pissed as soon as I got done reading it,
To the parents of Ella Martinez,
Ella has been acting up in a few of her classes and has been marked absent for a few. Ella has been to the office for not attending class numerous times and it failing two of her classes. Which are English and Art, if she does not get any credits for those she will be held back. I propose a meeting after school this coming Monday, since fall break is now over with.
From, Mr. Lavender
"Ella!" I screamed and turned around to see her at the end of the hall with her eyes wide.
"What?" She questioned, I shoved the paper to her chest.
"What is this, huh? What's going on?" I exclaimed, arms crossed.
"So I skipped a few classes so what?" She shrugged "And I'll just have some kid do my work for English and Art, problem solved." She put the paper on the table and began to open the door until I yelled.
"Damn it, Ella! Why are you making this so damn hard! You know I can't go to those meetings! Those were a few of my old teachers!" I yelled, she slammed the door and face me fully.
"So what? You skip class all the time!" She yelled back.
"Only for a job! So I can put a roof over your head, and food on your got damn plate!" I yelled.
"Oh yeah cause those knock off freezer meals are delicious!" She said sarcastically.
"Ella you know how to cook, I don't. I burn water and you know it." I stated
"Whatever Max." She picked her bag from the ground and headed towards the door, I guess as we argued we got closer to each other.
I looked down ashamed at myself for not giving her a proper home, "Do you want to go to a foster home?" I said looking up at her, "Cause if you keep this up someone will find out and send you to one."
"What? No! Of course not." She said running up to me. "I-It's just been hard, knowing you can die any second, and being mom all time. I just don't want to be around people when I think of it."
"Oh I'm sorry I worry you, but I will always be ok. No matter what, I will always be here for you, promise." I said hugging her she had a few tears and I had a lump in my throat, but I won't cry in front of her. I'll show her I'm strong enough to take care of her.
"I wish that stupid demon never killed mom!" She yelled into my chest. "Why did we have to be in the park so late?" She asked looking up at me.
"I don't know Ella, I don't know. Shh" I said cradling her. I would never tell her it's my fault, that if I wouldn't have left my phone there we wouldn't have drove back for it.
"Crap mom! Sorry I left my phone at the park!" Fifteen year old Max said, with a guilty look. She said as they were at the stop light. Max wondered why her back pocket felt so empty.
Valencia took a deep breath and smiled. "That's ok sweetie, it's your first phone. I would forget too." She joked, and did a U-turn. "You want to stay in the car with Ella?" She asked. I turned around to see a passed out thirteen year old Ella stretched out on the backseat taking all three spots.
"Uhm, how bout we both look?" I said smiling. She nodded and peeking in the rear view mirror chuckling at Ella.
We got to the park and both quietly got out, to not wake Ella and deal with Cranky Ella.
She was looking under the benches where there was leftover trash from the birthday party that was here, for one of my friends.
"I found it!" I said as I picked it up from next to a big rock, where I sat when I was eating cake.
"Thank go- "She said then looked down. I looked at her questioning what she was doing, only to see her looking at blooding coming from the stomach of her shirt. She fell on her knees then her face.
"Mom!" I yelled and ran towards her only to be pulled back by something invisible. I crawled to her there was something scratching her back, it was invisible but the back of her shirt was ripping showing claw marks. Whatever it was it was invisible, I took a hand full of sand and threw it over the air on her back.
The sand fell on something and made it come visible, it was something with a full grey body and red eyes it was unclothed and had no nose, but its teeth were visible and looked like it didn't have lips to cover its teeth. It started crawling on all fours towards me; I was shocked and started backing up.
As I was scooting backwards my hand collided with a plastic knife. I picked it up and stabbed the thing in front of me as it put up its hand to claw me. I kept stabbing it over and over, until I was sitting on its body.
"Max!" I heard Ella yell, "Oh my god, mom!" she said as she saw our mom lifeless and on the floor.
My eyes were empty and I looked at the knife and blood in my hands, I knew there was blood on my face from when it splattered as I stabbed it. I heard Ella screaming and yelling to call the cops. I saw footsteps go through the sand and wanted to chase the other thing that helped kill my mom, but instead went to Ella.
"Ok Ella, let's start walking towards the school." I said since we sold the car to buy things for the house and ourselves.
"Alright" She said and wiped her nose and went inside the bathroom to try and make it look like she was not crying, as I grabbed my bag.
Now it's time to face school, the worse thing ever invented.
Ok so in the next chapter I'm going to have a fangs pov. Well Review, or no new chapter :) Enjoy.
