Author's Note:
Hello readers. I'm back. After a long hiatus I have finally found my muse. Yay. Anyways this is a story I have no idea where it came from. It is completely made up and outside the canon universe. Sorry it won't be ship connected. Deckerstar won't be featured. But its just something completely different. Hope you like it.
It was a quiet evening. Katye Forde was sitting on the couch sipping tea and reading. It had been a long week of final exams. She just wanted to relax. A door slammed, and she heard her roommate Callie sigh. Katye ignored her and kept reading.
"Katye." Callie said to her from in front of the couch. She was dressed in a red skirt and black crop top. Her blonde hair up in a pony tail.
Sighing, she looked up. "Yeah?" Her voice was slightly annoyed.
"Maddie cancelled the last minute. Do you want to go to Lux with Roxie and I?" Callie asked. "I know its not your thing and you don't drink. But we could really use a designated driver."
Katye looked down at her book again. She had been waiting forever for the latest edition to come out. A story about dragons and fairies. The heroine fighting to restore order to her kingdom. To her it was much more intriguing than a club full of gyrating bodies. She finished a line and stuck the bookmark in.
"Please, Katye?" Callie pleaded.
The roommates mostly got along. Even though they were opposites. Callie a daughter of famous movie stars. She liked partying and blowing off class. Katye was the more studious type. She wasn't a complete shut in. She just ran with a different crowd. She and Callie mostly did their own thing but respected each other.
There was a knock on the door and Callie walked away for a moment to answer. Katye set her book on the table and sipped her tea. She could hear Callie talking with her friend Roxie. The two other girls walked back into the living room.
"So?" Callie inquired.
"Can't you take an uber home?" Katye responded. She eyed Roxie who was dressed in almost nothing. A short dress that left nothing to the imagination. Her reddish hair slicked back. Katye didn't care much for Roxie. She smirked.
"You know I hate uber. Last time the driver followed me home." Callie shuddered. "I'll owe you one."
Katye shrugged. "Sure." She got up from the couch and brushed cookie crumbs off her jeans. She grabbed her purse and keys off the kitchen table and walked towards the other girls. "Let's go."
A disgusted scoff was uttered by Roxie. "You are seriously not going dressed like that."
"Why not?" Katye asked.
"Lux isn't a place for scrubs." Roxie glanced at Callie. "Honestly, we can get a cab. I have mace in my purse."
Callie shook her head. "No." She looked at Katye. "Come on Katye just put on something nice."
"Fine." Katye walked away from the other girls into her room. She closed the door. The other two girls were arguing. She shook her head as she opened her closet door. She didn't really have any tight skimpy clothes. It wasn't her style. She wanted to punch Roxie. Katye picked out a dress she hoped would live up to the queen's standards. Ever since Katye refused to give Roxie her brother's number the two never liked each other. Katye was close to her twin brother Rocky. She wasn't about to let Roxie date him. Even though Rocky can make his own decision. She just doesn't think they would be good together. Putting on the dress she moved over to her vanity and quickly put on some makeup.
A final look and she put on shoes and picked up her purse and keys and headed to the door. The other two girls were seated on the couch. Roxie eyed her as she walked toward them. Katye held out her hands. "Does this match your standards?"
Roxie scoffed and shrugged. "whatever. Let's go. The line is already going to be long." Roxie stood up and walked towards the door.
"You look fine, Katye." Callie smiled as she followed Roxie out the door.
Soon the girls were in Katye's green BMW driving towards Lux. Katye had heard a little about it. The owner called himself Lucifer and told people he was the Devil. She remembered her brother mentioning it once. Callie and Roxie were seated in the back seat talking quietly. After finding a place to park blocks away they started towards the club.
They finally got to the club and looked at the line. It wasn't as long as they had feared. "See, Rox. Its not that bad." Callie mentioned.
"I guess." Roxie folded her arms.
Katye stood behind the other two girls in line. She pulled her phone out of her purse. No new messages. She was hoping to hear form her brother. He was supposed to be on his way home. He had been on a tour with his band. Rocky was the lead singer of a death metal band. They had been touring almost none stop for two years. Katye was eager to see him. The twins had always been close. They had been adopted by a lesbian couple at the age of two. So, they knew nothing of their biological parents. Their adopted mothers were good to them. They had three younger adopted siblings. One of their moms was a divorce attorney to the stars and the other a fashion designer. So, they had never wanted for nothing.
"Katye." Callie called to her. "The line is moving."
"Oh right." Katye was brought out of her thoughts. She put her phone back in her purse.
"Nothing from Rocky?" Callie asked.
Roxie looked over at them. A slight smile on her face.
"No." Katye responded. "He'll call." She assured herself. Rocky was probably partying in Vegas before returning to L.A.
The line moved quickly, and they soon found themselves in the club. Dance music throbbed against the walls. Throngs of scantily clad women and men in suits danced and drank as they walked towards the stairs leading into the club. Katye stood at the balcony for a moment as Roxie and Callie hurried down the stairs towards the bar. She sighed and followed them. She felt the eyes of the bartender upon her. A woman with a similar skin tone to hers with dark eyes glaring at her. The woman was beautiful. But Katye could sense great danger from her. Chills went down her spine. Why was this woman staring at her? She heard her phone beep and dug into her purse. Finding it she saw a text from Rocky. She looked up at the bar and the angry looking woman was gone. Shaking her head, she sent a text back to Rocky. A body bumped into her. "Hey." She said angrily to a man.
"Sorry." He responded on unsteady feet. He was tall and lanky. "Hey, aren't you a catch." He breathed a stench of booze over her.
"No, I'm not." Katye started to move away from him. She needed a drink.
"Want to dance?" The man called after her.
She ignored him and stood at the bar. A young man with long hair and tattoos smiled at her. "What can I get you?"
She shrugged. "Something girly." Katye smiled back. He was handsome. She looked an eagle tattoo on his forearm. "Nice eagle."
The bartender chuckled as his fixed a drink. "Thanks. Its in honor of my father. He was in the Navy."
Katye detected an air of sadness. She was sorry she had asked. "Well, I'm sure he would be proud." She had no idea what else to say. She never knew her father.
He set a pink colored drink in front of her. "Cosmo." He smiled again. "I hope so. He passed away last year. Just putting myself through law school."
Katye nodded as she picked up her drink. "Oh cool." She was in school but had no clue what she wanted to do. So, she was doing a general education degree. "I haven't decided what I want to be when I grow up." She chuckled. "I'm sure my mother would love for me to go into law. Or my other mother would love for me to go into fashion."
"Other mother." The bartender raised an eyebrow.
"I have two mothers." Katye was prepared for the judgement.
He threw up his hands. "NO judging. Its common around here." He paused for a moment. "I'm sure you'll find something soon." He smiled. "Excuse me." He moved towards other customers.
Katye sighed and picked up her drink and took another sip. She turned to move away from the bar and was faced with angry woman from earlier. More chills went down her spine. She tried not to look the woman in the eyes. Trying to feign a smile. "E-excuse me." She moved slowly way from her. Shaking her head. What was that woman's problem? She had never seen her before. Walking towards the dance floor she saw Callie gyrating against the man she had talked to earlier. She sipped her drink some more. Leaning against a rail she sighed boredly. The angry woman had disappeared again. She shuddered and finished her drink. Starting for the bar she felt an arm pull her back and she was faced again with the angry woman.
The woman's voice hissed. "What are doing here?"
Katye's heart raced. "I-I was getting another drink." She squeaked out. Why was this woman so angry with her? She was just having some fun.
"I know what you are. And I will not let you hurt him."The woman hissed.
"Huh? I don't follow. Hurt who?" Katye was scared. The woman had a tight grip on her arm. She felt heat rising between her and the other woman. She sensed power coming from her. Chills ran down her spine again. She looked the woman in the eyes. There was something familiar about her. Like she knew who she was.
The woman got into Katye's face. "Don't lie to me." She said. A blade was pressed against Katye's neck.
Tears formed in her eyes. "Please. I have no idea who you are or who you are talking to." She pleaded. "I was just here with my friends." She pointed towards Callie. "I won't hurt anyone I swear."
The woman lowered the blade. Her glare softened a bit. She snorted. "Poor thing. You have no idea that you are a Cambion?" She chuckled. "Well, party on then." The woman backed away form Katye. A vicious smile. "Have fun." And then disappeared.
Katye panted for a second and rubbed her neck. "A what?" She shook her head and stumbled to the bar. She set the glass down and let out a long breath.
"Whoa, what did you do to anger Maze?" The bartender asked her.
She jumped. "Who?" Katye had tears in her eyes. "I-is that her name?"
"Yeah." He responded. "She usually leaves people alone. Unless they threaten Lucifer."
"I don't know Lucifer. Or this Maze. She called me Cambion."
The bartender sighed and set a fresh drink in front of her. "No idea what that is. Just try to stay clear of her though."
Katye nodded. "Right." She picked up her drink and downed it quickly. The beep on her phone made her jump. She pulled it out of her purse and sighed. It was nice seeing a text from Rocky. She typed in a response and dropped it back into her purse.
"So, this is where you are hiding?" Roxie came from behind her.
Katye turned to look at the other woman. "Yeah." She eyed Roxie. She had her arm around a man as the bellied up to the bar.
"I figured you wouldn't be out dancing. I'm surprised you are talking to anyone at all. Not enough books here."
"Yeah." Katye responded with sarcasm. "Random hook ups and STDs aren't my speed." She smirked.
Roxie glanced at the man. "You just don't know how to have fun. It's a mystery how you are Rocky's sister."
Shaking her head, she started to walk away. "Sorry my brother isn't into whores." She muttered to Roxie.
"Excuse me?" Roxie pushed away from the man. "I am not a whore. And Rocky totally was into me." She stood in front of Katye. "You are just jealous. Almost like you want to sleep with him."
Katye laughed. "Rocky is my brother. My twin brother. You are disgusting." She threw up her hands and walked away angry at Roxie. How dare she insinuate that she wanted to. She felt sick just thinking about it. She turned and looked back towards Roxie. She was dancing with the guy and glaring back at her. Katye started towards her then the lights dimmed. She stopped and looked as a spotlight was shone on a black shiny grand piano in the middle of the room. A very handsome man sat before it and started to play. The gyrating dance music had stopped and only the piano could be heard. Katye recognized a Beatles song. Then he began to sing.
She stepped towards the middle and then sat at a table close to the piano. Her eyes focused on him. He wore a purple vest with a black shirt underneath. He appeared to be in his thirties. Scruff covered his face. Smoke rose in front of him from ash trays. Katye sang along softly to song he was singing. She loved the Beatles. He glanced up at her and she swore they locked gazes. He smiled and kept singing.
"Katye." Callie's voice broke through.
"What?" Katye responded. She glanced at the piano player. He had turned his gaze elsewhere. She turned to her roommate.
"Roxie left with some guy. And I'm bored." She smiled. "I want to go home."
Katye stood up. "Fine." She looked back at the man. He had finished singing and was puffing on a cigarette. His gaze locked with hers for a moment and he smiled. She started towards him. Then felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Come on." Callie pleaded.
Sighing Katye nodded. "Okay fine." She felt her mood drop. She turned towards the piano and the man was gone. Callie was already heading to the exit and she followed her roommate. She passed the angry woman she now knew as Maze on the way out. A cold chill ran down her spine. What in the world was a Cambion? She wondered.
On their way home, she and Callie rode in silence. Callie was texting on her phone. Katye heard her own phone beep. She ignored it. It beeped again. She looked over at Callie. "Did you have fun at least?"
Callie shrugged. "I guess. Roxie ran off with the guy I was talking to. She's such a bitch."
"Yeah. Tell me about it. Why do you hang out with her?" Katye wondered.
"She's my friend." Callie responded.
Katye shook her head. "Okay. She tried to accuse me of wanting to sleep with my brother."
"What?!" Callie asked her. "She's off her rocker. Sorry, she's like that to you."
Katye had decided not to say anything about the woman named Maze. "Yeah. Like I'm jealous or something. I don't know."
"Oh well. Hopefully she'll get herpes." Callie laughed.
They pulled into the drive of their shared home. A man was sitting on their front porch as they walked up the path. Long black hair hung off his head and a goatee circled his handsome copper toned face. Katye smiled as they got closer. His arms were sleeved with tattoos. "Rocky." She said happily as he rose from the seat. He looked tired and hungover, but he smiled at his sister.
"Hey sis." He said as he hugged her. He pulled back and noticed her attire and Callie next to her. "I was wondering where you were at."
"Lux." Callie said as she smiled at Rocky. "How long have you been sitting there?"
Rocky laughed. "Lux? You managed to drag my nerdy sister to Lux?" He hugged Callie.
"Can you believe it?" Callie responded.
Katye shook her head as she unlocked the door and let everyone in. Rocky walked over to the couch and sat with a sigh. She set her purse and keys on the table. Callie had retreated to her bedroom. "Do you want a drink?" She asked her brother.
"Sure." He responded.
Katye walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. She got out a beer and opened it. She glanced at the window and screamed. A man's face was looking in. IT was strange because it looked like Rocky but had a long beard and longer hair.
"Katye?" Rocky's concerned voice came from the living room. "Katye are you alright?" he walked into the kitchen. He tapped his sister's shoulder.
She screamed and dropped the beer. The bottle shattered, and beer went everywhere. She looked at her brother. "There was a man outside." She pointed at the window. Only there was no one there this time.
Rocky glanced at the window and then put his hands on his sister's shoulders. "No one there sis." He chuckled. "How much did you drink tonight?" He said while opening the fridge.
Katye moved to clean up the glass on the floor. "Not much. But I swear there was someone there." She must have been seeing things. It had been a strange night all around. She sighed and picked up the broom and began sweeping. Her brother had gone back to the living room. She finished cleaning and joined him on the couch.
The sibling sat in silence for a moment. Rocky sipped his beer and stared at the wall. "The tour was good, but I am so glad its over. The guys and I are taking a bit of a break."
Katye nodded. "That's good. You need the rest. Does Mom and Josie know you are back yet?"
"Not yet. I didn't want to wake them. Can I crash here tonight?"
"Of course." She patted his arm. "But promise to go see Mom and Josie tomorrow." She smiled. She knew their mothers would be eager to see Rocky.
"Okay." He said hesitantly.
"Look Mom is not mad at you." Their mom Barbara had a bit a of a fight with Rocky before he left on tour. She didn't like that he had chosen to drop out of college to go on tour with his band. But they were finally being recognized. Their other mother Josie had convinced Barbara that it wasn't the endo f the world. Josie had only been in their lives for a short time. But she had endured herself to the twins. Neither woman was their biological mother. They just knew they had been adopted by Barbara at the age of two. For a long time, it was just the three of them. Then Barbara met Josie. She and Josie adopted three kids form different countries. The twins liked their eclectic family. Katye did wonder who their biological parents were. Barbara wouldn't tell her.
She stood up. "Look I'm kind of tired. I'm going to bed. But you can crash on the couch."
Rocky nodded and picked up the TV remote. "Can I get a pillow and a blankie?"
She nodded and walked to the closet and grabbed a blanket and pillow for her brother. Setting them on the couch her brother was laughing at a show on the TV. She started to her bedroom. But she paused and looked at her brother. "Do you know what a Cambion is?"
Rocky looked at her. "Uh no." He drank the rest of the beer and stood up. He gave his sister a funny look. "Why?"
"No reason." She responded. "Goodnight. Try not to drink all of our beer." She called to him before walking out of the room. She opened her door and gasped. A shadow moved swiftly as she turned on the light. Feeling chilled she paused. She was just hallucinating. Sitting on her bed she took off her shoes. IT had been a weird night. The conversation with Maze was getting to her. Why had that strange woman picked her out of a crowded club to target? She tried to think of something else. Like the man who had sang "Let it Be." She smiled at the thought of his smile. Something about him she felt drawn to. She knew would have to go back.
After showering and getting her night clothes on she was lying in bed. She sighed as her eyes closed.
A man stood over her as she slept. He was tall and thin like Rocky. He had a similar look to his face. Long black hair held in a pony tail. A long black beard upon his face. He wore a tailored black three-piece suit. He watched the woman sleep. A soft smile upon his face. He reached towards her face and brushed hair off her face. "Goodnight Katye." He whispered and disappeared into the shadows.
