A/N: This is just a little something on the side. It won't be that long and is planned as a little humorous story. And don't panic. My other stories won't be neglected but I wanted to write this like.. forever... Just a short start, but I have already written more, just wanted to wait for the response first.
Chapter 1: Enter the Bounty Hunter
A wide beam of like was making it's way through the open wooden door. It had slight difficulties to cut through the dark fog of smoke and dust. It smelled terribly of blood, booze and cigarettes. Sinister eyes were fixed on the intruder daring to enter their territory. The Air was filled with electrified silence. Hands already found their way to their designated weapons. Daggers and pistols glancing in the light beam. One wrong word or move and the air as well as burning flesh would be drilled with bullets and knives.
Every single eye was fixed on the stranger that just entered the bar. She didn't belong here.
A young woman was the center of the attention. Her dark brown hair was pulled back in a messy ponytail. Deep brown eyes spoke of passion and power, daring those who'd try to attack her. Nobody knew her but it was clear that it would end badly challenging her. A body lean and strong full of defined muscles ready to act when necessary. Whether to punch, kick, swinging a sword or dagger or even to pull a trigger, they just waited to make a willing victim to suffer.
A white tank top hugged her curvy figure in all the right places like the battered black leather pants.
She was limping heavily and dragged her left leg with much effort behind her. A little trail of blood was visible on the dirty, wooden floor. The former white tank top was drenched with sweat and dirt and was more crimson colored from the blood than actually white. The leather pants didn't fare better. Cut along her lower leg a deep gash still gushing blood was visible, causing the blood trail.
Her lip was busted, face bruised and marred with many cuts like the rest of the body. With a deep sigh she heaved herself on one of the bar stools visibly relieved to take the weight of her injured leg.
The bald barkeep looked down at the stranger, eyes sparkling with disdain. He wasn't sure what to think about the intruder. Only rarely a stranger stumbled in to his bar, regretting that decision almost immediately after but a woman? He hadn't seen any here in years.
"What are you looking at asshole? Do I have a frigging circus on my head or why are you staring at me? Get me drink... Strongest you have but hurry!" she hissed.
How dared she to talk to him like that? "I doubt a little girl like you can handle it" he snorted. In seconds the woman had grabbed him by his collar, pulling him down.
"Listen 'buddy'... I had a pretty fucked up day... The least I need is an asshole who thinks to tell me what I can and what I can't do, got that?" She hissed, her eyes twinkling blue. The barkeep nodded as best as he could in his position. "Good..." the brunette mumbled and let go. "Hurry... Don't have all day".
The man was shaking with fear and poured her a glass of his best liquor. The brunette gulped it down without flinching, but the second she put the glass down she felt a hand on her shoulder.
She turned around lightning fast and pulled the offending hand behind the 'attackers' back who winced in pain.
She let go of him when she recognized who he was.
"What the hell Bo? What kind of hello was that?" He hissed rubbing his hurting arm.
"The appropriate kind. You should know better than surprising me from behind."
"As far as I recall you always liked that." He grinned but was rewarded with a slap across his face.
"That was a past mistake wolf. A mistake I will never do again." She growled.
"Aw come on... We belong together Bo... can't you see? You are my mate... I..." before he could continue a heavy blow connected with his chin, making him fall to the ground.
"I don't know in what kind of delusional world you are living but this..:" she pointed between her and him. "... was never a real thing and will never be. I needed to heal and you were available and willing. Nothing more. When do you finally understand that?"
"But Bo..." he tried again but was interrupted by a third party.
"I am sorry to disturb your lovers quarrel children but I think business is calling.." A woman had entered the bar. Classy, sneaky with wavy brown hair.
"Evony... I should have known that you were behind that... invitation."
The situation was very tense when the three strangers sat down at a table in the backside of the bar. Even when it looked like they were ignored, almost every patron was listening with curiosity. One of them was different though. Nobody knew that this person would make a big difference in the future...
Evony looked the other woman up and down. "You look really charming with your ripped clothes" she smirked.
"Shove it... Got in to a disagreement with some ogres. I will take care of that as soon as we are over with this."
The wolfs mouth turned in to a smile. "Not with you, flea bag and stop wagging your tail" Bo huffed.
"I'm not wagging..."
The secret observer couldn't help but grin at the conversation. Eventually the wolf stopped trying and Evony continued explaining what she wanted from the brunette.
Bo almost spat out her drink. "Did I just hear right? You are the principle of a high school now and you want me to infiltrate said school as a student? You are fucking crazy..."
"It might sound like it but it's the best way. We've been watching the target for weeks now. Dyson here as a student counselor did get a little closer but not close enough. She is not really trusting anyone. So we need you to earn her.. trust... Get the information and then silence her forever.. Your special talents will come in handy."
"I won't seduce an underage girl you sick pedos."
"She is not under aged succubus. No need to worry."
"I still don't care. I've retired. I don't do this shit any longer, no matter how much you pay Evony..."
Evony raised her eyebrows. "Pay? Who said anything about money? A little bird said that you were looking for information... information about your family, I recall?"
Bo's eyes widened. "Oh you are just playing with me..."
"Are you really sure? Do you want to miss the chance to find out who mommy dearest is? Where she is?" Evony smirked.
"You.. no.. nobody knows anything about her... not even you..."
"You want to risk it? I'll even give you my blood oath..." she seemed to be serious. One last job.. would it hurt so much to do it? The chance to finally find out where she was coming from... finding her family it had to be worth it.
The brunette sighed. "Alright... But I dare you... If you are playing me I will end you" her eyes flickered blue again for a second.
.
Evony just chuckled at that. "Oh sweety... You are so delusional.. like you could take me. But there won't be any reason for you to hurt me."
"Just tell me who the target is so I can get out of here..." Bo sighed.
"Of course" the other woman smirked and pulled out a photograph handing it to Bo. The succubus heart almost stopped when she saw the picture. The person on it was breathtakingly beautiful. She looked like an angel with her long, blonde, wavy hair and the deep chocolate brown eyes.
Bo gulped. Seducing... Yeah she definitely would tap that... so gorgeous and sexy but thinking about ending that life made her sick... Very sick. It wasn't like she hadn't killed before... She killed many before, most without any regret but this girl... It felt different. The picture alone intrigued her beyond measurement. Her former victims always deserved what they got but an innocent human girl? What could she know that made her the target of the dark fae leader? One last job...
"You will start tomorrow. You will attend the same classes and Dyson will keep an eye on you." Since when was Dyson working for the dark? Well it wasn't her concern. The stupid wolf could do whatever he wanted.
"So what's her name?" Bo eventually asked.
"Lauren Lewis"
