Chapter Four
The man appears behind her- as if magically- grabbing Collette's arm. Her first impulse was to scream her head off and kick him in the balls, but a voice in her head convinced her to stay calm. "I am a messenger," the man's voice began; it seemed as if he had three voices at once. Staring at his hand he had long black nails and rough hands. "You are a demon."
How do you respond to that? Are you to be shocked? Scared? Think the man is
psycho? Amazingly, I felt none of these, for it was an answer. Not an answer I expected or perhaps wanted, but it was an explanation. A reason
why I wanted to thank him for killing my father. A reason for why
everything went wrong in my life. A reason why I never got along with
anyone. It was more of a relief to hear such news.
Turning around to face the man, Collette shoves him away. "Okay, I'm a demon- whoopty-doo! Now get the hell out of here and take that shit with you!" she yells at him, referring to her father's corpse. "There is more to know," the man says quietly, "You are not just any demon, you are an Osteg, the strongest of the demon blood-line. On top of that you are to be the queen of us all."
Collette stares at him hard, "Yea? How come none of you guys ever helped me whenever kids beat me up huh? If I'm to be your 'queen' don't you think you should be protecting me?" The figure laughs harshly at her remark.
"Our system doesn't work like the humans. The king and queen do not need protection. The 'bullies' were practice- a few years later you gained enough power to strike them back did you not? Demons do look after each other mind you, but if a human were able to kill them then so be it. Why? Because only the strong survive! We are stronger then humans because we are all about power. According to humans, power is now the wealthiest. Money isn't going to help them whenever they are attacked."
"They can buy guns!" Collette protests. "True, true, but you see- being as strong as we are; bullets cannot kill. Only demon-hunters, or slayers, are able to. Only so many are created- possible only hundreds. So you see, the real threat is their power, not their weapons."
"Since humans' power consist of green paper with men on them- all we have to do is set it on fire and we are automatically in charge." After a long silence, he continues, "I will be watching after you, I won't let you die- but if you are to encounter anything that is certain to make you die- you will only be on the verge of death. Let the humans work their surgeries on you- once you learn how to heal yourself you won't need humans as a crutch anymore. See you when the time comes." As he disappears, the body and blood of her father vanish as well. She shakes her head then runs to her bathroom digging through the medicine cabinet. She then pops four pills in her mouth then stares at herself in the mirror- a few seconds later she blacks out.
Sloane sighs after walking a few blocks then sits down on a bench to rest. He closes his eyes reviewing the day, smiling while thinking of Collette's emerald eyes burning into his, leaving a mark in his heart- a scar that heals instantly whenever near her.
"About time lover-boy," Seite's voice cuts in. "Who is that chick anyways?? I'm surprised anyone would even hang out with you- look at you! You look like a monster! (sorry Lilo and Stitch creators; had to use it) anyways- there is a new list- we need only a few more names that need to be verified then we should be able to start killing off demons in about two weeks." Seite looks at his slayer then snaps his fingers infront of is face, "HEY! ARE YOU LISTENING?!" He pouts feeling ignored, then disappears. "I will tell you when the last few names show up," his voice rings in Sloane's head. Sloane stands up and walks to his house, takes a refreshing shower, then in the first time in his life gets a decent nights sleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phat: Alright I noticed that I came up with demon-blood types through out the story; so I only thought it to be fair that I give definitions for them .o;
Demon-hunters - they either are born with the blood of demon-hunters or given the ability by God to make a distinction between demons and humans.
Different types of demons: Derun Demons - Derun comes from the German word Anderung meaning change. The Derun demons convert humans etc. into demons. They look like humans, but when killed only a demon-hunter is able to see its true form.(Minor)
Kervinm Demons - These demons kill humans- that is about all they do really, they usually have no reason as to why- they just do it for the fun of it. (Assistant)
Osteg Demons - They turn a person insane or mentally ill... I really have no specific definition for the Osteg, they are just top of the line- they can convert humans, look human, and definitely kill- but they prefer to watch people suffer *much like myself* (Top)
All demons can turn invisible and change forms.
Well, that's the end for this chapter- see you when chapter five comes out!
