"Why'd you do that John"
"Shut up kid"
"John, why d'you always put me down John huh"
John rolled his eyes. Chas was so sensitive about the slightest thing, if it wasn't so annoying it would be kinda sweet.
"Just drive Chas"
It was Chas' turn to roll his eyes. He felt so neglected like John didn't give a shit about him or his feelings but nonetheless he drove as he always did, doing exactly what he was told.
"Where we goin anyway?" He asked focusing his attention on the road ahead.
"Midnite's"
"Midnite's? You mean the Papa Midnite's? You gotta be shittin me that place is a legend! It's a haven for those who…"
"Yeah I know what it is Chas. Just drive okay"
"This about that girl again"
"Yeah"
"Was she really that hot? Maybe you should introduce me…"
"Never gonna happen kid"
"John I'm not a kid"
"Yeah whatever." John mumbled pulling out a cigarette, lit it and took a deep puff.
"Take a left"
"Yeah John I'm not retarded I know what to take." Chas sake irritably turning the car.
The rest of the journey was travelled in silence. Chas quietly focusing on the road, John happily puffing on his cigarette.
John really was at a stump as to who the girl in the alley was. She seemed to know him… To be important somehow but he wasn't sure in what way exactly.
She wasn't a half breed that's for sure, maybe a physic? She was something anyway.
Chas brought the cab to a stop clumsily getting out to follow John.
"Get back in the car Chas"
"C'mon John please just let me come"
"Whatever." John said refusing to get into a fight with the teen it just wasn't worth it.
"Two frogs on a bench." John stated walking passed the bouncer who pulled back the velvet rope for him to enter the bar.
John paused when he heard Chas take a shot at trying to get in.
"Two dolphins with wings"
To everyone's surprise the bouncer pulled back the rope a second time letting the boy enter Midnite's for the very fist time.
"JOHN JOHN LOOK JOHN! John I got in!" Chas squealed in utter delight.
"Yeah I see kid." John said rolling his eyes.
He had a slight grin forming on his face despite this. John WAS happy for the kid after all he was coming along nicely maybe one day he could participate in an exorcism.
"Where to now John?" Chas asked excitedly.
He really was like a little puppy, hyper all the time following its owner around regardless! It was actually quite sweet though John would never admit this.
That's when he saw her sitting at the bar along with a few half breeds.
She was stunning… Her long red hair fell gracefully in font of her face in bouncy curls. She wore a black corset with a gypsy style long black skirt and red boots.
She looked pretty young though maybe the same age as Chas.
Today wasn't a good day for me. My head was spinning. I'd had way too much to drink last night after I got home. It was a close call Constantine could have found me out there, then we all would have been screwed.
I lifted the viscous black liquid to my mouth knocking it back in one smooth motion, replacing the shot glass on the bar.
"Gimmie another!" I shouted over the roar of music and chatter of voices.
Even though I had the hangover from hell I still continued to drink the strong alcoholic beverage which burned my mouth.
I looked up as I sensed two sets of eyes on my back. Constantine and his apprentice… Chas his name was.
"You found me then." I stated softly taking the new glass the bartender handed me.
"Yeah. Didn't expect it to be this easy"
I smiled I had my plan… "Well, what can I say I'm extremely easy." I said softly barley audible.
John raised his eyebrow.
"No, that wasn't an invitation." I said a smile playing on my lips as I downed the contents of my glass.
"So…" I said turning round fully facing the two men.
"What can I do for you boys"
"Who are you"
I smiled again. Straight to the point. I could tell this wasn't gonna be an easy task.
"The names Faith. Just Faith." I said rising to shake his hand.
He took it.
"I'm John, this is…"
"Chas." I finished for him.
"C'mon John you're famous! So is Chasy here"
Chas just stood timidly in the background trying not to be noticed.
I grinned turning back to the bar.
"Hey Joe put it on my tab"
"Already have." He replied giving me a wave.
"So…" I said again turning back to Constantine.
He wasn't bad looking for his age a little worn out looking but hey who gives a fuck.
"What are you?" He asked this time.
"I'm a human. You should know that John. I have the gift of sight, great gift if you ask me. Give a five year old the ability to see demons and see what happens that's God's motto pretty crap motto if you ask me but hey…" I explained.
"What age are you kid?" He asked.
"Don't call me a kid. You remember what it was like don't you, John… Didn't start till you were a little older though did it? You lose your childhood, grow up quicker. My parents thought I was crazy threw me out onto the street. When you're 13, a girl and you're living on the streets of LA it doesn't exactly turn you into a pure innocent vision of everything good and holy. I'm no kid John I'm 18 and I've been through more than most people your age let alone mine"
John nodded. Of course he understood he had pretty much been through the same thing as me only he'd done the stupid thing, he'd killed himself.
"You done questioning me now?" I asked walking further into the club.
"No. What were you doing last night? Why was that demon chasing you"
"They don't like me John. I sell them out to exorcists such as yourself. They break the rules and I tell on them. By the way I never said thank you"
"No problem. Why aren't you an exorcist?" He asked following me through the crowed.
"Too messy. I'm not one for demon guts and all that shit"
I had reached my destination. "Hey." I said giving the half breed a small peck on the cheek.
"Balthazar." John practically spat at the half demon who now had me in his arms.
"Johnny-boy. So nice to see you again"
John eyed me suspiciously.
"I though you were good"
"I am John. Don't like the company I keep"
"You could say that." John said with a bad taste in his mouth.
Balthazar licked the side of my face causing a wave of revolting disgust to sweep over me. I gritted my teeth attempting not to throw up all over John's shoes.
"How else d'you expect me to survive in a place like this? 13, no money, no place to stay, nothing and no one in the world John, how'd you expect me to survive?" I said coldly a grin sliding onto my face.
Yeah I was the best person for this task. Use my own misfortunate life to influence John. Not that he would ever know but still.
"So you sell yourself to this half breed piece of shit?" John asked his voice rising in anger.
"He pays good money… If I close my eyes tight enough it's not so bad." I said calmly.
I had grown used to my situation. It was actually pretty damn funny really!
"You're disgusting." He spat either at me or Balthazar I wasn't quite sure who.
"Don't you dare judge me!" I screamed pulling out of Balthazar's grasp.
"I do what I need to do John. Everything you've ever done you've only ever done for yourself! It's the same for me. I do what I have to do John survival is my main priority not your approval"
"Fine, you know what I actually need to leave." John said turning to go.
I stopped him by grabbing his arm roughly moving in closely to his ear.
"Help me" I whispered putting my hand up to his face, making sure he had a clear view of the many scars covering my arms.
His eyes widened but before he could react properly I turned back letting Balthazar pull me into his arms kissing me violently his tongue snaking into my mouth violating every inch. It turned my stomach but again I had grown accustomed to the taste of sulphur and sin inside my own sinful mouth. The things I had done… Why God needed my help I would never know but this mission was important I knew that.
John turned away disgusted at what I was doing with his worst enemy. He made his way through the crowded room Chas following shortly after him.
Balthazar's hand slid down my back finally stopping at my backside which he squeezed firmly.
I pulled away quickly.
"Get off of me!" I screamed running through the many people. I needed some fresh air before I threw up.
I could hear Balthazar's insane laughter behind me.
"You'll be back Faith you always are"
He was right. I would be back. I needed the money and he had it. God wanted me to influence Constantine anyway I could make him think I needed his help but the truth was I DID need his help. I wanted to be saved but that wasn't going to happen I was too far gone to be helped, too messed up to become normal again.
