Chapter 2: Sweetheart
He was my old school sweetheart… we apparently 'loved' each other ever since the eighth grade. Then, on the day of our high school graduation, he told me he never loved me… that it was all a joke… that he was going to just leave me there to cry worth crap because of him. When I heard those harsh words of his, 'I never loved you…', I was crushed. The second after he turned away I fell into a yearlong depression. I was always looking for him even though he would never be there… I would shut myself out except for my studies to become a secret agent. I said to myself earlier this year to 'screw the whole depression thing' and then forgot about him. The guy that had ruined my life forever was now sitting not even three feet away from me and I could do nothing about it.
At least he's facing the other way… I spoke too soon because someone had dropped a glass and the shattering noise made everyone turn their head to see what had happened. I prayed that he would just ignore the clumsy fool, but, of course, things never go the way that you want them to. He slowly turned and looked back. I looked to the side and watched him out of the corner of my eye until he got up and left. Letting out a sigh of relief, I thought that I had enough coffee and decided to go home and take a nap.
When I was about to get up I felt a hand press firmly on my shoulder. "Sit."
Too shocked to move I had no choice but to obey this person's wish. Suddenly a tall man with shiny black hair pulled tightly into a low ponytail sat in front of me. Now was the time to face him. I swallowed. "…Wufei…"
Wufei nodded slightly and stared into my eyes… I lowered my head trying not to look into his dark expressionless pools. "Where have you been lately, Mai?"
I cringed at the sound of my pet name that he used to call me. "Don't call me that…" I snapped coldly. "We're over and we'll never be together ever again." I shot up out of my chair and ran out of the door blinded by the tears streaming down my face. I silently scolded myself, "Why are you even crying? He's the one who left you in the first place… you needed nothing more from him…" Next thing I knew I was in a deep sleep and heard a noise, but my eyes were too heavy…
..:://~*~//::..
Yeah, well my mission here was not that simple as they say it was. I hung the receiver with a click and settled down on the couch to think about this more. What in the name of hell could make these stupid…. things…. come here and want to infest like this? It's mad… they're all possessed or something… huh- and there's even a leader! What a joke… what a joke. Oh well, I was out here to stomp them all out, so that's just what I'm going to do.
A little demon hunting tonight won't hurt a bit. I reached over and put on my utility belt with all these pockets filled with the crap that I use for assignments. Before I went out the door, I checked the clock- 6:30. Good, should be some people roaming around still.
It was a good thing that it was mid summer or else I would be cold in my wife beater and loose pants. What I was looking for was strange and hardly noticeable- a silvery tint in the person's eyes. My boss said you could also feel a strange aura in them. I think it's all a hoax, but he said not to count on it. I'll believe it when I see-
Just then I saw a boy about 16 look at me and then run down an alley. Sure that might look somewhat normal, but his eyes flashed silver. I'm not believing yet 'cause it could've been some car light bouncing off or something, but I decided to check it out anyway. I followed closely, and being careful not to be seen, the boy led me to an abandoned park where several people were gathering around a stage of some sort. Keeping close to the wood fence, I walked up closer to the stage and there I saw a young lady sitting in a chair surrounded by 'bodyguards'… I couldn't really see her face in the dim light, though. When she saw that no one else was coming in through the break in the fence, she stood up.
"I know this place isn't what you're used to, but there is good feed here." Her voice was dark and silky- but sharp and clear. "Try and be very discreet when feeding to not attract attention. For now you can live in the abandoned warehou-" She stopped abruptly and looked around. "There is someone here that is not one of us… get him… and bring him back to me alive…"
With that said she turned on her heels and gracefully slid off the stage into the shadows. I would have followed her, but I was a little occupied with the demons coming after me with their fangs bared. All I could think of was to run in the direction that she went to give me time to get my gun out. I had no idea of how to kill these things… Coming to a dead end, I whipped round and started firing at random but fell to the ground after somebody hit me hard on the head…
A/N: Well, in the next chapter it'll be all written in third person now... (the rest of the story will) I found it too hard to do this in first person- you'll see why later....
