Chapter 1
A young brunette walks through the library, looking for a new book in the fiction section, when all of a sudden she hears a loud crash from the back of the library. Looking around, it seems as though the desk lady didn't hear it, so the young girl goes to check it out for herself. Grabbing a thick book off the shelf for some protection, she ventures behind the last row of bookshelves to find another young woman and an older-looking man sitting on chairs around a broken girl huffed and glared at the older man.
"This is your fault!" She spat at him. She stood up, stumbling a little from all the dust around them. The girl had beautiful pure black hair that reached her waist and crimson red eyes, she also had wolf ears on her head as black as her hair, and two wolf tails. She was well fit with curves in all the right areas, and her skin was perfectly in between tan and pale. Surprised by the killer appearance of the strange woman, the young girl hid behind a bookcase, acting like she was looking for a book while eavesdropping. She had a strange sense of adventure that always got her into trouble, and this scene was very intriguing to her. I wonder if they're cosplayers? She thinks to herself. It wouldn't be the first time she's come across people practicing acts for an Anime-Con in this library, however they normally rent out a meeting room...
"Luna," said the man, exhausted. "Must you blame me for something that was obviously your fault?" The older man spoke in a english accent filled with honey as the woman, Luna, glared at him.
"I was simply trying to read this book, and then you decided to fuck it up with your magic practice, as usual." Luna huffed, her arms crossed, her 'fake' ears twitching, and her tails swishing and fluffing with anger. Wow! Is the tail mechanized?! These cosplayers are going all out! The girl thought to herself as they continued talking. Such a realistic situation, I wonder what it's based off of… Thinking to herself and enjoying the show that she could not see, but envision in her mind, she accidentally dropped the huge book on the floor and caused a very hiding-place giving-away thud. She tried to duck into a different aisle, but couldn't before the man spotted her.
"Hey, you!" The man said, causing Luna to look at her, eyes too real to be contacts as she stared at the young girl before her. The man politely asked, "Do you need any help over there?" Luna rolled her eyes at him, never looking away from the girl.
"Umm, n-no. S-so sorry for bothering you." The girl was so unnerved by the intense gaze of the young woman that when she went to pick up the book, she dropped it again. Deciding to just leave the book on the floor, she stood and spoke, only looking at the man.
"I- well I heard a crash and came to investigate, and then I saw you two cosplaying and I just- i'm sorry I know it's not polite to eavesdrop but-" She keeps talking faster and faster as the wolf-eared woman kept staring at her, eventually making her break down and yell at the woman, "I'm sorry ok! Just please stop staring at me like that! It's inhuman!"
The woman smirked and took a step towards the girl. "Well it would help if one wouldn't call me a cosplayer, because these things," she improvised by twitching and flattening her ears without touching them and showing her slim hand that had perfect, very sharp claws and wagging her tails. "Are real, and the reason that my stare is inhuman is simply because I am not human." By how confident she sounded, the girl would almost believe that the woman was telling the truth, regardless of the fact that she was spitting her words the entire time.
Surprised and a bit scared by the display, the girl took a step back. Thinking for a moment, she exclaimed, "Oh- OH! I get it, I totally get it now! I'm so sorry I didn't realize that you were staying in character, so at first and thought that you were actually serious." Still unnerved by the look the woman was giving her she laughed and continued speaking while backing away slowly. "Um, the mechanics on that stuff is amazing, and your accent is really cool. It seems like you actually Could be some strange inhuman being."
Luna, sick of this little girl who refuses to believe the irrational, lost her temper. "Its called a demon, and yes. Before you say something, yes demons exist. Though we use concealment charms to blend in with you humans most of the time." She spat, rolling her eyes and parting her lips to reveal fangs that were too large for a dog, but too small for a vampire. As she sat down again, the man was silently watching, hoping that she wouldn't do anything rash to the poor girl standing before them.
Small sounds of laughter could be heard coming from the girl now as she kept muttering to herself, "Its a dream, I must be dreaming." Not looking at the two of them again, she picks up the book and reads the title aloud. "Dreaming of Demons, by Juanita Chase. I must have fallen asleep on the bus and now i'm having premonitions again. I told mom I needed a new prescription..." She keeps mumbling to herself as she starts to walk away, humming a familiar tune. It seemed to be a lullaby, and as she hummed all the lights started to dim and flicker.
Luna watched the girl as she was leaving. "Damn it you aren't going crazy! Damn why do you humans all have to be so god damn simple minded?" Luna scoffed at her back.
After a few seconds the man turns to her. "Have you noticed that she's sucking the power from the building yet?" At her negative response he continues. "She might be one of THEM you know, the humans who can see the future. She did say something about premonitions and a prescription didn't she? From what we know of them so far, their powers can be controlled by advanced medicines, and they can drain energy from all nearby sources when they feel threatened." He stands and starts to follow her. "If she fits the third criteria we ARE going to have to kidnap her. C'mon, Luna. There's no time to lose."
Luna nodded with a smirk and an evil gleam in her eyes as she took off after the girl. Quickly taking a different path so as to intercept the girl as the man ran after her, she smirked as she landed in front of the girl grabbing her quickly on the shoulders. Speaking in a startlingly malicious tone, she spoke to the girl. "Hello again, you are coming with us."
The girl's eyes widened in fear, and she just barely managed to stutter out, "Wh-what? You shouldn't be able to touch me, not in my own dream..." Her deep brown eyes kept seeming more and more vivid as the power was drained from the building. Luna almost didn't remember to get far away enough from the girl in time for her to release the energy without Luna getting herself harmed.
As the energy was released the man called out to Luna. "That was the last one! A mental EMP!" He yelled that excitedly while grabbing the young girl from behind, and pinning her arms to her sides.
Luna grunted as she tried to withstand the pain. "Yea, whatever. Lets just get the fuck out of here before she does this shit again."
"Well then bind her so I can teleport!" The man yells back to her. "I can't do everything myself!" As Luna is walking towards them to help him out, he adds, "And remember not to let her scream! We don't want a repeat of Halifax, got it?"
She nodded and pulled out some chains, binding her quickly. "There. This will keep her powers from rising, and this," She said as she pulled out a gag and put it in her mouth, "Will keep her quiet." The man quickly draws a magic circle on the ground and chants an incantation. They both stepped into the circle, Luna holding the girl as she struggles against them, and in a flash they're gone. Everything returns to normal in the library, except for a broken table in the very back and a missing book by Juanita Chase.
