So here it is chapter 2 :) really hope you like it.

Chapter 2: Only Dreaming

Riley couldn't stop the gasp that escaped her mouth. If Beck really meant what he said, that meant he really did care about her. Not allowing herself to get her hopes up, she put on a brave face. "Beck, you don't mean that." He looked taken aback by her comment. He shouln't be surprised, after the way he treated her at his hosue. "You really don't beleive me?" His brow creased together with worry and concern.

"Can you blame me? Don't you remember last week at your place?" The accusational tone in Riley's voice startled her. She was more mad than she thought. "I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean any of it, girl, I swear." Girl? I thought he stopped calling me that. Then she noticed the hazy quality of her vision. She was dreaming.

Riley woke up, startled to find herself in the drivers seat of her car. The digital clock on the dashboard told her it was 3am. "Well while I'm up - and while I still have my job - may as well earn some money." She said to herself, checking her trapping bag was safely tucked away under her seat. As she was driving to Demon Central, Riley tried to figure out how much of last night was a dream. She knew for a fact the guild meeting was real and from there... she remembered getting into her car and driving home then crying at her steering wheel for a while not wanting to go inside and face the pile of bills that would be waiting for her. I fell asleep before I could even get out of my car.

The air was cool and the sky gave out little light from it's lack of stars. With her trapping bag over her shoulder Riley didn't have to look for before spotting a demon. The feind was eating out of trash can in on of the back alleys. It was a grade three. "Last time I caught one of you, you were stoen from me." She whispered and the hiddeous thing looked up from it's meal and eyed her maliciously. "Blackthorne's daughter." It hissed, casting the trash can aside taking it's chances getting closer to her. "That's my name, don't wear it out." Riley chuckled. Were they always going to call her that? Slyling fishing around in her bag for the steel pipe Beck ha once given her to defend herself with, Riley went up to it and counted in her head. 3, 2,1. At 1 the demon leaped towards her but she was ready for it. Whacking it with all her might it thumped against the brick wall and howled. While it was down she dragged it and stuffed it into the cage she kept in her truck. This time nobody tried to mess with her or steal the demon. Go me!

"Ahh Riley, it's been a while." Fireman Jack sounded clad to see her. He must have been wondering what she was doing at this time in the morning. "I've got you a present. And it comes in the form of a grade three." She beamed. Her smiled widened when she saw the surprised look on his face. It took some strengh for her to lift the cage onto his desk. It snarled and hissed her name again. "Well I'll be damned...," he seemed amused by the thing, and the entire situation, "Last time I saw you, you were selling me Grade 1's. Times change." She couldn't help but nod in agreement. Times had changed since then and they were due to change again if the hunters had their way. "Heard the news?" She asked, curious as to whether the trappers were the first to know. Jack sighed and answered, "Yeah. Give it a few months and we'll all be broke. I can give you $300 for this guy though." Riley's jaw dropped.

"$300? Are you serious?" She could do a lot with that right now. Especially since her kitchen cupboards were looking seriously bare. "Yeah I'm serious. You know your dad would be damn proud of you Riley, both of your parents would. Beck too." She nearly choked. What did he know of her and Beck's relationship? "Don't talk to me about Beck." She tried not to soun like a bitch. Mission failed.
