What is the world that we live in? Is it in fact science? Or is it in fact religion? Personally I couldn't have cared less about the world until the day my clouded eyes finally awoke to the real, terrifying truth.
Never in a thousand years would you think that the fate of humanity was left up to me; an eighteen year old with a black eye and struggling for breathe. And no not the, I punched you cos' you kissed my boyfriend kind of way, but I am a bad ass demon who is sent to kill you.
This wasn't my normal days of course but a month from now you would never have believed that this demon fighting chick was in fact a student at a low profile collage. Never thought that I'd see my boring life flash before my eyes but it did and hell I'll never complain again if I lived through this.
Nothing could prepare me for the day I awoke to. Not even my frustrated mother, who had been nagging me all morning to not go anywhere by myself when I finished collage today. According to her and the news reporter on the overly loud telly vision, girls where showing up dead with not a mark on them and all their blood drained from their bodies; weird huh? Well from this day that was when my life just plain and simply got weird.
My best friend Rae had come to pick me up today to give my stressed out mother some peace of mind; by her taking me to collage.
"Now remember Rae, you bring her straight back home and you both don't go disappearing to some wild party like always do on a Friday. Home and I mean it. Got it?" Rae looked my mom straight in the eye and replied "Got it Mrs Hayes."
My mother turned her back to Rae to give me a long (have a good day and good bye) hug.
I suppressed a giggle as Rae saluted mom as her back was turned.
She still talked as she hugged me. "Now I mean it Nina, I want you straight home; you never know who is wondering about these days." Mom let go of me and turned to scowl at Rae.
Rae stood to attention and walked past mom to link my arm "Chill Mrs H, your darling daughter will be just fine with me and my street fighting skills." Rae punched the air, showing my mother how screwed I really was if we encountered danger. "That is what I'm afraid of. Now go." My mom finished turning to scrub at the dishes.
Rae pulled/dragged me out the house and into her gorgeous convertible red Porsche car. You guessed it the girl is rich well so are my parents to an extent but not as rich as Rae's parents.
Her father owned a housing company and her mother was a bestselling artist. Unlike my father who plans buildings and my mother who is an overly paid philologist.
Collage wasn't that much of a drive from my house. Only took half an hour, twenty minutes tops, if Rae was in a bad mood. Today I gathered she was in a good mood.
"Why you so happy?" I asked her as she drove with a huge grin on her face.
"Do you really have to ask? Remember what was planned last night?"
I could barely remember what i was doing last night never min-
"Oh how did it go? Did hurt?" i asked suddenly joining her good mood.
She shrugged and twisted her face "kinda' but only at parts. Honestly i felt like crying at the last part. You wanna see it?" she asked slowing down the car.
"Well duh."
She pulled over the car and pulled the collar of her shirt to the side, to show her shoulder blade.
"Well what is it meant to be?" i asked trailing my finger over the top.
"Ow, don't touch it. It's meant to say my name in Latin." She ended pulling up her shirt and starting up the car again. "You should get yours done but obviously where your over reacting mother can't see it."
"Nah I'm good, let's get going don't want to miss class." I smiled sitting back as Rae hit the pedal.
The day went by quite fast. More assignments and less going out time, oh how i longed to be a working adult. It was finally the last class of the day and it was the most boring one that for some reason i took. I don't know, but at the time it felt essential. Religious education, yeah i know what you're thinking, why would i ever want to endure the learning curve of god; I'm still trying to find the answer to that question. But as I entered the normally over the top room of students i found, very quiet students. And they all seemed to be staring at the man who stood with his back to the class. He wrote his name across the black board, which used to be an electronic one. I glanced to the far side of the room and spotted the smashed up white board. I took my seat next to my other buddy Vanessa.
"Hey, what's so interesting?"
She took a gulp before saying "well he just came in shouted at us all then smashed that board up then you walked in."
I looked back at the board to find Mr. Dobson scribbled on and underneath read God and Satan.
"Nice of you to join us Miss. Hayes better late than never but please will you not talk in my class!" he gradually shouted as he turned to face me.
He was tall like door height tall and he had black hair tied to the nape of his neck and he also wore very blacked out sun glasses. I wasn't remotely bothered by this guy and I wouldn't change how I was in this class.
"I'm sure it is forbidden to wear glasses in class Mr. Dobson." The entire class turned their gazes to rest upon me.
I couldn't tell the new teachers facial expression wore but I think I already knew what it would look like.
"Get out!" he yelled leaning his hands on the desk.
"But sir I was only stating the rules, you can't send me out for that." I answered back.
"Get out of my class room before I throw you out myself." His voice sounded low and menacing.
I knew I was pushing my luck but I hated this class any way and I was nearly always thrown out of it.
"You wouldn't dare" I teased leaning back and crossing my arms and legs.
In about six quick moves Mr. Dobson was stood at the side of my desk and hauling me out of my seat and out of the classroom.
"Hey stop man handling me creep!" I yelled trying to loosen his grip.
He pulled me through the corridors and out of the main building door.
The sky was for once much clouded not one ray of sun light would shine through them today.
"Come back when you are ready to learn"
"What no principle?" I knew I should stop but I couldn't.
"Go home Miss. Hayes and I mean it." He said turning away to stalk back into the building.
"Likely, you'll never see my face in your class again!" I yelled after him.
He stopped and turned his head very slightly "We will see about that." He ended.
Rain began to fall heavy on my head so I sucked in a breath and began a long walk home.
