Chapter one
Hi I'm Nike not as in the trainers but as in the
Greek Goddess of Victory, I'm sixteen 5ft6 with black hair and blue
eyes, thought I get the description over with now since if it's my
story I don't think they'll much time for describing I don't plan on
this job taking me very long. I'm a demi-demon whoa cool! Not really.
Life as a Demi-demon isn't a walk in the park. It sounds cool making
things burst into flames with just a thought but it's totally not.
You end up burning yourself by accident while you're still learning
burning others... but less said about that the better, just trust me
life sucks as a demi fire demon. So when you've had enough of life on
your own and some nice people offer to make it all better you jump at
the idea, I mean it's a dog eat dog world out there you do what you
have to survive. So the odd jobs they gave me in return for them
helping and sheltering me, no problem. Now I'm faced with quite a big
job. Find four run aways and bring them back done it before not that
hard only this is proving to be a mite hard. Others have failed and
it's getting bloody and by the conversations I "accidently"
over heard they're not expecting me to return. Great! So it's time I
showed them.
This was all decided as soon as the four escaped along with this guy
and disappeared completely. I had been out with the search parties
that night. I had been told to sit and watch them make complete
idiots of themselves. Shooting and getting jumped on by a girl from a
tree, hell that had made me laugh. They expected me to take a few
days tracking them down but unlike those idiots believed I hadn't sat
like a good little girl but had followed and watched the five escape
in a SUV. I didn't follow but got the general direction so then I
only had to find where they stopped. That took half a day now the
problems started.
My usual jobs consisted of going in, getting
the target getting the hell out and back to the group but this needed
something else. They were in a huge gothic building a supernatural
safe house making it impossible to get them out of there except
willingly which I doubted would ever happen. I'd read about this
escapees. I needed to think, I should phone Dr. Davidoff and ask him
what I should do but; 1) I'm to proud to do that when I can think of
something myself I had lived on my own for three years and 2) I
needed to show them! So now it was only a matter of time of thinking,
sitting and watching from the forest that surround them. It was
morning when I set off it was now evening, I wasn't doing very well
but I would. I just needed to think outside the box. I reach around
to my back pack to get an energy bar when I heard a twig snap. I
stiffen instantly alert to my surroundings, my body preparing my
blood heating my fingers seeming to sizzle with heat. I stand
silently looking around for the source of the sound; I don't see
anything only shadows now the sun had dipped, darkness was quickly
descending. I wish I had super sight it would make life easier. I
circle slowly making sure I missed nothing my breathing starting to
speed up the only sound except for the slight scuff of my feet on the
forest ground. The hairs on the back of my neck rise and a shiver ran
down my spine whatever was out there was close so close I felt its
heat. Wait that doesn't seem right, I turn and nearly fall over.
Standing so close my eyes crossed was a man. I take a step back
gasping my blood cooling instantly in surprise and look up. Looking
straight ahead I saw only a wide chest cased in black looking up I
saw blonde hair tanned skin and the cutest guy I had ever seen, not
that that's saying much since the last few year I was looking at
middle aged doctors, scientists and teachers. His hair was falling
into the eyes so dark they were almost black with thick brown lashes.
Looking now I see he wasn't a man but a boy close to my age. It
took me a minute to shake off the effect of his surprise and angelic
looks to realise his expression wasn't angelic at all it was in fact
damn scary. His mouth was set in a scowl his eyes boring holes into
me.
"Erm you surprised me there" I stutter my voice
starting off at a squeak to my relief ended normalish. He continues
to look at me. "err-"
"What are you doing here?"
His voice was deep and it rumbled through me.
"Erm-" I
don't get to answer as suddenly his eyes flick to the side his
nostrils flaring and his was grabbing my arm and stalking towards to
the house. Well it seemed sitting had worked in my favour, I was
getting in. It was just a shame my brain had abandoned me and I was
unable to think of any reasons for me being here except the truth. I
didn't know if I looked like I belonged to Edison group I just knew I
didn't look like someone who needed refuge. We were quickly out of
the forest and my arm felt like it was being pulled from its socket.
He could be a little more gentle I try to twist so I was walking in a
straight line but his grip tightens stopping me from moving further.
"I'm not going to escape you know" I say hoping he would let me move to a more comfortable position.
"No your not" was his simple reply. The large gothic house was cloaked in shadow and I more impressive up close. It looked like something supernatural's should live in, something of fantasy. It looked safe my heart gives a little thump of pain, safe and as we stormed through the door and warm light and soft colours surrounded me it looked like home. Safe and home something I didn't have, well no that's not true I did have a home and I was kind of safe I could handle myself now. It just wasn't like this, it wasn't cosy and warm full of laughter. Snap out of it Nike! I was going to fail if I let myself get all emotional and gooey. I focus on the laughter and my surroundings. We were walking down a large airy hallway painted a warm magnolia with dark wood floor and panelling on the bottom half of the walls. The house smelt of fresh food. I notice a door at the end which we seemed to be heading to where the laughter and scent were. I stumble as we reach the door the slight raise of the floor tripping me. He doesn't catch me in fact his grip loosens letting my arm slip from his grip. Great timing. I catch myself before face planting and wobble into the room. It was a kitchen so big it managed to fit a huge wooden table with twelve chairs around it. All twelve chairs except two were empty. Ten people stared back at me. I spot instantly the four I looked for, Victoria and Simon sat next to each other it looked like I had interrupted mid argument by the scowl on her face or than could be me. While Chloe had washed her hair and had now dyed it completely red it suited her sat next to Derek I looked to them carefully. I was told to be careful around those two, I understood why the Edison Group weren't sure about them. A man stood getting my attention, I recognised him from the other night as Andrew.
"Tye who is this?" So the rude angel was called Tye.
"I found her outside watching the house" He answers his hand coming back to grip around my upper arm with vice like strength again, I was going to have bruises, but as Andrew turned his gaze on me I knew I had more to worry about that bruises. Like coming out of this. I felt everyone's eyes on me as Andrew spoke. My brain whirled I knew what he was going to ask me I just didn't have an answer. Think! Think!
"What were you doing out there?" Don't answer play for time. I feel my mouth open despite my brain screaming at it not to. Damn this was not my night.
