Reversed - Chapter 1
I walked out of the bar. It was 4 in the morning. I've been drinking here since midnight, hating to go home. Home..well it was only a warehouse. JT was trying to make life more bearable for me, but he couldn't do miracles. So I avoided going home and hearing that everything was going to be alright. I was 25 years old and had no future ahead of me. Everything was lost 5 years ago. 2 years after I went to school to become a detective. I was good, so I was chosen for a special training program. I was so proud. By the time I grasped that something was wrong it was too late. Luckily there was JT, the guy I protected from bullies trough high school. He helped me stay alive, stay good, stay...human. He was my only family now.
As I stepped into an ally, there were three men. They were delighted to see me.
'Hey, babe,' one of them said.
I ignored them, intending to walk past them. 'Why so in a hurry? Don't you wanna stay bit?' the same man mused.
'I've never cherished bad company,' I answered not scoring my pace.
'Badass attitude.' the second said, 'I like!'
He tried to grab my arm. 'I wouldn't if I were you,' I said avoiding him.
'Who is gonna stop me? You?' he laughed.
'Hey! You! Leave the lady alone!' someone shouted.
'Great,' I thought, 'now I'll have to save a witness's ass.'
'I got it. You should better leave,' I assured him.
'I am not leaving you here with them,' the man said.
I couldn't see his face. I was focused on the men in front of me. But his voice was gorgeous.
'You heard the lady, she can handle us,' the first man said disgusting me.
But the man was already walking towards them wanting to help me, trying to save me. As if I, Catherine Chandler would need a guardian angel. I shook my head smiling bitterly and leaped forward.
