I believe not many people read Black Cat so I am not expecting you to review. If you are reading this then please RRE (Read, Review, and Enjoy)
"Talking"
'Thinking'
"How long till we get there?" said a bored Train. Train is a man who wears an open blue jacket with the sleeves rolled up, black jeans and shoes. He has brown spiky hair and yellow eyes with slits for pupils. He also has a tattoo just under his left collarbone that is XIII (13). Train carries a gun called Hades that also has XIII engraved into the side. His gun is made of orichalcum and with it he never misses.
"I don't know but if you say that one more time I will hit you," said Sven. Sven has green shoulder length hair, one brown eye and wears an eye-patch over his right yellow eye. He wears a white suit with a white hat. He also has a cigarette and is driving.
"Are we there yet?" asked Train.
A vein appeared on Sven's head. "That's it!" he shouted as he jumped from the drivers seat to Train. They are now fighting in the back of the car.
After 5 minutes of fighting they stop and Train realises something. "Wait who's driving?" They both look to see Eve calmly driving the car as if nothing is wrong. Eve is 15 years old and has long blond hair that reaches down to her knees. She has red eyes and wears a black shirt with a red skirt. (Like the episode where she wears something different for the first time. Without the tie) "How are you driving?" asked a now frightened Train. You could tell he was scared by the way he was tightening his seatbelt.
"I can drive because I read how to" she said as if it was nothing.
"Know it all" said Train playfully.
"Can I please drive again?" asked Sven. Eve nodded and moved to the passengers seat allowing Sven to drive.
They sat in silence for a while. Train was taking a nap, Sven was watching the road as he drove, and Eve was looking at the scenery as they drove past it. She wasn't bored, she enjoyed the scenery. She liked to see new things. They were driving through a dirt road surrounded by trees. It looked like they were in the middle of the forest. Eve then saw someone running, she couldn't make out who it was or what the person looked like but as far as she could tell…the person was fast. The sun then showed the persons face. It was a boy around Eve's age. She knew the guy was fast because they were driving at least 40mph and he was keeping up as if it was nothing. "Sven is it possible for someone to run as fast as we are going?" she asked without taking her eyes off the boy.
"No why?" replied Sven with a question.
"I can see someone running as fast as we are driving" she said pointing to the boy and looking at Sven.
Sven looked at where she was pointing; there was nobody there. "Uh…Eve. There's nobody there" Eve looked and didn't see anyone. "Must have been your imagination"
"My imagination" she repeated. She continued to watch the scenery.
The drive lasted about an hour and Eve never saw the boy again. For some reason she couldn't get the boy out of her mind. "Hey when can we eat?" asked Train.
"When we get some money" grumbled Sven. "As far as I can tell our target is somewhere here"
"And where is here again?" asked Train.
"I think its called Green City. It's suppose to be a city that grows many kinds of flowers" said Sven.
"Ok so where are we going to find this guy?"
"You never stop with the question do you?" Train just smiled. "I think we can find him if we just look around or ask some people"
"Right you go that way" said Train pointing to a suspicious looking alley "and I'll go this way with your wallet" he said as he walked to a nearby restaurant.
Sven quickly grabbed the back of Train's collar. "Your coming with me" he said as he dragged Train. "Eve you look through the parks. Maybe you can overhear some information" Eve nodded and walked in a random direction.
She followed a path that could lead her to the park. Once there she saw a giant fountain. She smiled as she sat on a bench near the watery show. She listened carefully to people around her but after half an hour she didn't hear anything that could help. She decided it was best to find Sven and Train so she got up and started walking.
Snap. Eve turned to see grown men running and carrying broken branches in a threatening manner running. It appeared as if they were chasing someone but she couldn't tell who so she followed. She caught up with one that looked a little drunk. "Excuse me" he looked at her "What are you doing?" she asked
"Were chasing a demon!" he shouted and receiving cheers coming from the other men.
Eve stared wide-eyed at the man. She remembered the man she grew up with calling her a demon. "A demon" she said under her breath.
"There it is!" shouted a man in front. Eve looked to see the demon. In stead she saw a boy running away.
Eve couldn't believe what she was seeing. Men were chasing a boy claiming he was a demon. She ran faster until she caught up to the leader of the mob. "I take it you're here to kill that thing" he said.
"Why are you chasing him? He's just a boy"
"IT is a demon" he said angrily.
"What makes you so sure?" she asked. The man ignored her and kept running.
"Where did it go?" asked a man as they all stopped. Many trees, almost like a forest, now surrounded them.
"I don't know but we better find it soon" said another man.
Eve walked through the forest. She didn't know why but she wanted to see the "demon" herself. She heard a noise and looked towards it. Nothing. There was nothing there. "You shouldn't be here" said a voice, it sounded like it was coming from all directions. "If you stay you will get hurt"
"Who are you?" she asked. "I wont hurt you"
"Why not. I am a demon!" he shouted but Eve could hear the hate in his voice.
"These people call you a demon but you are not" she looked around from her spot but still couldn't see him "I was once called a demon because of who I am but now I am not"
"You use to be called a demon? I doubt that. Not someone like you"
"What do you mean? Please come out"
She turned hearing footsteps. A boy around her age stepped out from behind a tree. "I mean you look like someone that could never be called a demon" The boy had brown hair like Train except less spiky. He also had deep blue eyes. He wore a black shirt over a thin white long sleeved hoodie, blue jeans, and dark Nike trainers. When Eve looked at him she felt her cheeks heat up. She had never felt this before.
"How do you know? You don't know me" she said.
"I can tell by your eyes" she looked at him confused. "Your eyes are filled with so much care and kindness. It impossible for you to be called a demon"
"Who are you?"
"My name is Jack. What is your name?"
"Eve"
"Pretty name" Eve's cheeks felt warmer.
"Why are those men chasing you and calling you a demon?"
"They are chasing me because they believe I am a demon. They are afraid of me" he said with a sad smile. He looked at her. "You said you were once called a demon. Why?" he asked.
"I am genetically engineered. Ever since I can remember I grew up thinking I was a demon" she said.
"Do you still think you are a demon?"
"No not anymore. About 3 years ago I made a friend and he taught me how to be normal. After that I never felt like I was a demon again" she looked at him again. His stomach growled making him look away in embarrassment.
"Are you hungry?" she asked.
"No!" he shouted. His stomach growled again. "Ok maybe I am"
"Why don't you go to a restaurant?"
"No one in town will let me in. I have enough money to eat at a restaurant for a month straight but I have nowhere to go"
"I know a place. Follow me" she said turning away.
"Wow you almost make it sound like a date" he said.
Eve's cheeks felt like they were on fire. "NO!" she shouted. 'Why is my face hot?' she thought.
"Ok ok I was just joking" he said. He then started laughing. Eve didn't know what was so funny but couldn't help giggle.
"There he is!" shouted a man that saw them.
"Damn!" exclaimed Jack. He picked up Eve bridal style and ran really fast. "Just hold on!" he told her.
Eve nodded. 'He's so fast' she thought. He kept running but he could still hear the voices chasing after them.
"Persistent bastards" he said under his breath but Eve still heard him. He then decided it was best to hide in the trees so he jumped onto a branch and kept on jumping till he found a spot high enough that no one could see them. "Ok we should be safe here" he said.
"You can put me down now" she said a little embarrassed. He looked at her and realised he was still holding her.
He gently put her down safely on the branch. "Sorry"
Eve looked down on the ground and saw how high up they were. They were about as high as a 5-story building. "How did you climb this tree so fast?" she asked.
"I jumped through the trees" he said simply. "It shouldn't take long for them to give up so if we stay here we should be fine"
They were quiet for a while until Jack broke the silence. "Are you new here? Ive never seen you around here before"
"I just came here with a couple of my friends. We are trying to find a criminal" she said.
"I take it you're a sweeper then" she nodded. "That's cool. I bet you get to travel around a lot"
"I do. We have been travelling for 3 years" she said.
"Wow that's a long time. Don't your family miss you?"
"I don't have a family" she said sadly.
"Sorry. You said "we" does that mean you have friends?"
"Yes they have been my friends for as long as we have been travelling" she said.
"Well then it sounds like you do have a family" She looked at him confused "You've been with them for years correct?" she nodded "And they risked their lives to save you?" she nodded again. "Sounds like a family to me"
Eve then smiled at him. "I never realised that. Thank you"
"No problem" he looked around. It seemed like he was concentrating on something. He then smiled "You up for lunch?"
She nodded. "How are we suppose to get down?" she asked.
"I have an idea but you have to trust me" he said as he stood up and held his hand out for Eve to take. She hesitated at first but took it anyway. He smiled again and pulled her close so he was hugging her.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Making sure you don't fall" he said. "Hold on tight" she squeezed. "Not…that…tight" he said.
She looked up to see his face was blue. She eased her grip "sorry"
"It ok" he said. He then jumped down from the tree and landed softly on the ground. "Last stop, bottom of the tree" he said jokingly.
"Thank you but how did you do that?"
"That's my secret for now" he said teasingly. Eve then pouted a little. They both laughed and walked out of the forest. They then found themselves back at the park. "Hang on one moment" she stopped and looked at him as he put his hood up. "Its to hide my face so people cant recognise me" she nodded and continued walking once he was ready. "Can I try something?" he asked.
"What?" she felt him hold her hands. "What are you doing?"
"Im sorry if its uncomfortable but these people wont believe a demon can find someone so if I hold your hand then they would just look right past me"
"Ok then" she said. 'My face is warm again. Whats happening?'
They walked around for a half hour trying to find a suitable place to eat at. So far no one recognised Jack but Eve heard people mentioning something about "the demon should just die". Eventually they came across a restaurant that seemed nice. Once they entered Eve saw Sven and Train eating crusts again. Jack and Eve walked up to them.
"So Eve, who's your friend?" asked Sven.
"His name is Jack. I met him at the park" said Eve.
"I was helping her out with something and I invited her to lunch. Tell you what because she has been so nice I'll pay for your food"
"THANK YOU!" shouted Train and Sven at the same time. If it wasn't for the table they might have hugged Jack.
"No problem" said Jack with a sweat drop. "Eat as much as you want"
"Are you sure? It seems like we would be intruding on your date" said Train with a devious smile. Sven caught on and also smile.
"Yeah he's right. It would be best for you two to be alone" said Sven.
"Were not on a date!" shouted Jack and Eve in unison whilst they both blushed.
Sven and Train then burst into laughter. "Then why are you blushing?" teased Train whilst poking Eve in the cheek.
'Its that why my face is warm? Im blushing?' she thought. "Excuse me" she said before getting up and walking to the bathroom to look in the mirror.
"So how did Eve meet you in the park?" asked Sven.
"Id rather not talk about it" he said whilst looking down.
"Its ok" said Train.
"No it wont be. If i tell you, you would just think Im a demon like everyone else" he said sadly.
"So its you everyone's talking about" said Sven. "We were asking around if anyone saw anything suspicious but all they said was "The demon is who you're looking for" car to explain"
Jack sighed. "Might as well. For as long as I can remember I have called a demon and if your wondering why Im just going to say Its my secret. Anyway today I decided to go to the park for a walk but then people followed me and tried to attack me. I ran and I guess Eve was curious at what was happening. She was looking for me in the middle of the forest. She told me that she use to be called a demon, is that true?" asked Jack.
Sven sighed. "Unfortunately. She grew up in a bad place where she was told she was a demon. Eventually I found her and helped her"
"Im glad you found her. She doesn't deserve to be called a demon" said Jack. Jack then noticed Trains tattoo. "Oh so your the famous "Black Cat" I always wondered if someone would hire you to kill me"
"I dont kill anymore" he said.
"I heard as much. Its weird after I heard you disappeared some guy came up to me and asked I join them. I think they called themselves...Apostoles of the Stars or something like that"
"That doesn't matter anymore their gone" said Train.
"That's good. When I met them I could sense they were evil" said Jack.
"Sense?" asked Sven.
"For as long as I can remember I have been able to sense peoples aura's telling me if they are good, evil, kind, mean, or how they are feeling"
"Coooool" said an astounded Train.
"Can I ask you something?" asked Sven.
"Sure"
"You said men were chasing you and Eve followed correct?" Jack nodded. "Did she get hurt?"
"No. When they found me talking to her, I made it look like I kidnapped her so they wouldn't think she was a demon-lover because if they did then they would have hurt her. Once we got to a safe distance we waited till they were gone and now were here"
"Good" said Sven taking a sip from his coffee.
"So I take it your using you senior discount then" said Jack.
Sven then spat the coffee all over Train. "IM NOT THAT OLD!" he shouted.
"Alright I was just joking" said Jack. He then sensed something and turned serious. "May I ask who is it you are looking for?"
"Yeah sure his name is Dominic. Here's what he looks like" said Train handing Jack a wanted poster.
'Yep. That's him' he thought whilst putting the poster down. "Can you guys close your eyes for a couple seconds?"
"Why?" asked Train.
"Because I may have something that can help"
"Ok then" said Sven closing his eyes. Train appeared to be taking a nap.
A few seconds later a loud bang was heard on their table. "You can look now"
They opened their eyes to see the guy they were after, Dominic. "What the..." said Train waking up.
"How did you do that?" asked Sven.
"He was over there" said Jack pointing to the bar. "Im surprised you never noticed"
(Just after Eve left the table)
Eve was walking to the bathroom. Her face felt hot and she couldn't understand why. Once there she looked into the mirror and saw her cheeks were red. "Why are they red? I might have a book on this" she said. She pulled a book out, from god knows where, called the Dictionary and flipped through the pages until she found the one she was looking for. "The person gets red in the face if they are embarrassed or emotional. That doesn't clear anything up" she said to herself. Just then a couple of women walked in and saw her reading.
"What are you doing in here cutie?" asked the blond.
"Im trying to find out why my face is red. Do you know?" she asked hoping to find the answer.
The girl with blue hair spoke. "Well there are a couple of reasons"
"What are they?"
"First off my name is Kim and her name is Ashley. Whats yours? asked the Kim.
"My name is Eve" she said.
"Did you get embarrassed about something?" asked Kim. Eve shook her head.
"Then that just leaves one explanation" said the Ashley.
Eve just looked confused. "Your right" said the Kim.
"What is it?"
The two girls looked at each other then at Eve. "Did this start when you were with a boy by any chance?" asked the Ashley with a smile.
Eve's face started to blush again. "I think we got our answer" said the Kim.
"What does a boy have anything to do with this?"
"Well answer me this. Do you think this boy is different in a good way?" Ashley spoke.
Eve nodded. "Do you want to see more of this boy?" asked Kim.
"I dont know. Maybe" she said.
"I think you are having feelings for the guy. Follow me for a second" said Ashley. She led Eve to the door. "Which one is he?"
Eve pointed to Jack. "In front of the guy in the white suit. He's wearing a hoodie"
"Well I can't see his face so I cant tell if he's cute" whined Ashley.
"I have to go now. Thank you for your help" said Eve leaving.
"Goodbye and dont be afraid to look for us and ask for help. We work here" said Kim.
Eve walked back to the table and was surprised by what she saw. She just heard Jack tell them to close their eyes, once they did that he moved so fast that it looked like an unconscious guy appeared out of nowhere. "How did you do that?" asked Sven.
"He was over there" said Jack pointing to the bar "Im surprised you never noticed"
"Ok but how did you get him over here in less than 5 seconds?" asked Sven again.
"He moved too fast for the eye to see" said Eve.
"Yeah how did you know?" asked Jack.
"I saw you get him but it was difficult for me to tell" said Eve sitting down next to Jack.
Sven and Train just looked amazed at Jack. "How fast are you?" asked Train.
"Faster than the bullets you fire" said Jack with a smirk
"Wow that's fast" said Sven dropping his cigarette in his coffee.
"So how long are you guys staying here?" asked Jack.
"Well we still have to collect our money after handing this guy in so it shouldn't take more than a few hours. Unless anyone has any objections" said Sven.
"I would like to stay for a few days" said Eve.
"Why?" asked Train.
"I would..."She looked at Jack and blushed slightly "to find something out on my own"
"Well alright but we dont have any place to stay" said Sven thinking.
"You guy's can stay at my place until you leave" said Jack.
"You sure?" asked Train.
"Yeah why not?"
"Well alright then. After we hand this guy in we'll go to your place" said Sven.
"Sure" said Jack giving him a thumbs up.
Well I hope that was a good chapter. If you agree please review. Keep reading.
