Hi guys,
i managed to do this one pretty quickly. It's an important chapter but also a bit of a funny one! Anyway, hope you enjoy :P
I'd already been driving 20 minutes and still had no idea where I was actually going. How was I meant to find this guy when he gave me no number and no name. It was beginning to seem like a dead end. I told Rixon I'd be no more than an hour, well I was 20 minutes into my time frame with no answers, no plan and no way of even getting the first two. I pulled over to the side of the road, it looked like a cliff face until you looked closer. There were loads of large, jagged boulders scattered along the top of the shoreline and a cave just off to my right. The tide was out so I began to climb down the rocks and walked towards the cave. I couldn't come up with a rational explanation as to why I was headed for the cave, except the fact it looked like a quiet place to sit and think. Clear my head, get a half decent plan together.
It wasn't until I was clear of the rocks that I could see a flicker of light emanating from the cave and the soft sound of music came with it. I looked at the cave in confusion, was someone living there? Surely not. I got closer to the caves entrance and saw the form of a body, tall with broad shoulders and narrow hips. The image struck something in my head, familiarity, could it be the guy from last night? I got even closer to the cave only to see more figures forming. Different shapes and sizes, all laughing and chatting. Singing along to the music and swaying in time with the beat.
"Ere! What's that you said, Kenny?" One of the shorter men shouted across the cave. I was trying to make out any distinguishing features, like a scar, tattoo or piercing but what I saw was even more disturbing. His complexion was an off-ish green yet this wasn't the weirdest part. His face-and hands-were covered in round, brown welts. He was around 5 ft 6 and wearing average clothing, jeans and a hoodie with normal sneakers on. His hair was a ginger colour that was spiked along the top but the front was gelled down. For all intense and purposes he looked...normal. I knew full well he wasn't, he was a demon. A Brachen demon for that matter, I thought they went extinct? Apparently not.
I turned my attention to the guy I'd seen last night. Last night he looked quite, handsome really. Clear complexion, nice jaw set and no off putting...features. However tonight his brow was raised and he had what looked like spikes appearing from the ridges that formed an V in the middle of his forehead. Not only that but his eyes were orange slits, yet last night I'm pretty sure his eyes were brown. He also had what looked like fangs, but they weren't just as a replacement for his canine teeth they replaced each and every single tooth in his mouth.
I went to step back I'm not sure if it was out of fear, disgust or having stumbled upon something I shouldn't have. There was a smaller rock stuck on the sand and the heel of my shoe got caught underneath it so I ended up flying backwards over the Rock and flopping down onto the sand.
"Argh, shit!" I hissed, no where near as quiet as I thought because the demons came running. The 2 men-demons-were standing over me, the shorter, green, demon with a look of confusion on his face. The taller one, just had a smug grin on his face as I stated up in horror to the total difference of what he looked like now to how he looked last night.
"Kenny, mate, is she..." The shorter one trailed off.
"Yeah, but I'd change back anyway. Don't think she familiar with, ya know," Kenny gestured between himself and the little one, then they both changed. Kenny's forehead went back to normal, smooth as freshly shaved legs. His fangs retracted and were again replaced by average, quite straight and nicely white teeth. Then his eyes, they flickered to huge black orbs then resumed their previous chocolatey brown state. He extended a hand and hoisted me up off the floor. I brushed off the back of my jeans and Folded my arms across my chest. Glaring at him.
"The names Kenneth," he extended his hand again, I didn't take it this time, "this is Doyle. He's a mate."
I looked over at the little guy-Doyle-to see he'd also reformed into a human state. His skin no longer had a green tone to it and the brown welts had disappeared. They were replaced by a fair complexion and outrageously ginger hair.
"Hello," He beamed at me, "nice to make your acquaintance."
"Hi." I nodded in acknowledgment, then turned to Kenneth, "Why didn't you say yesterday you were part of some..." I waved my hands in the direction of the cave, "demon convent?"
"It's not a demon convent, it's just-" he tried to explain but the little one cut him off.
"It is not a demon convent you silly half being, it's more of a flock! We're not homeless, ya know!" He yelled.
"Not homeless, aye? So why are you living in a cave?" I yelled back, "and as for calling me a half being, I am the heir to hell. Beelzebub's offspring." I clarified.
"Bollocks!" He laughed, like laughed in my face.
"Excuse me?"
"Look, Doyle, she's telling the truth." Kenny stepped in and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Don't touch me," I shrugged his hand off, "you said you needed a demon, so why not just use this little leprechaun?"
"Don't be calling me no leprechaun, missy!" He pointed a finger at me.
"Oh shut up!" I snapped as I flicked my hand up and shot a small, yet pretty powerful electricity ball at his arm.
He yelped as it hit him, gripping at his arm he jumped back. Looking like a very upset, chastised child.
"Hey, don't do that!" Kenny turned to face his friend but I'm pretty sure I saw a hint of a smile.
They were mumbling in hushed tones, so I sighed and feigned interest while they done so. It was a moment later that Doyle retreated back into the cave and Kenny turned his attention to me. "Ready to explain?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Someone's impatient aren't they?" He laughed as he began to walk further from the cave mouth.
"Well I've only just rescued my boyfriend from hell, and being here with you and your convent is eating into time with him." I blurted before I could think. He was clearly after Rixon and I'd just admitted that I was the one to rescue him and that he was my boyfriend. As he turned to me I clamped my hand over my mouth and made to run, but he was suddenly in front of me and I bolted right into him.
Read and review, hope you all liked!
