The Beginning

~~~~~~~~~~~

Sighing I trudged upstairs towards my apartment after a long day at work. All I wanted to do once I got through that door was collapse into my inviting bed and blank out the rest of the world with its pesky problems. As I stood in the hallway searching for my keys I realized that I still had laundry to do.

"Well this day couldn't get any better" I thought as I went through the now open doorway.

I started to walk into the room while reaching for the light switch when the sound of glass crunching underfoot alerted me that my day from hell was not quite finished…

Before I could back out to the safety of the hallway behind me, someone grabbed my wrist and yanked me forward into the pitch black room. Doing what any self preserving female would do I screamed at the top of my lungs and ran my nails across the hand that tried to hold onto me. As soon as I felt my attacker's grip loosen I twisted my wrist and flung myself towards my still open door.

*SLAM*

"Damn… he has a partner" was all my mind could think at that moment when the pale square of the open doorway disappeared. I spun around hoping that my eyes had adjusted enough to the pale moonlight that filtered throughout my apartment to at least let me see shadows of my assailants.

"There!" A flicker of movement off to my left caused me to snap out my left leg into a hopefully wicked side kick. Feeling a solid impact and a pained grunt coming from my side made me grin a bit feral in the moonlight.



"Helpless female my perky rear end" I thought viciously as I stepped forward to give another kick to the shadowy form before me. That was my plan until a glancing blow to the side of my head spun me around to hit the wall by my side.

I was stunned for a few seconds but seeing the two shadowy forms closing in on me I once again gave a bloodcurdling scream to alert my neighbors that yes, I still needed help, and hopefully to give the bad guys a little pause for thought.

As the two lunged for me I ducked down a bit and scrambled almost on all fours off to my right trying to get to my bedroom since they were blocking the front door. I had barely taken a few jerky steps when I felt a rough hand encase my ankle and yank me off my feet. I landed on the floor with a painful thud that almost left me breathless. I quickly lost what breath I had left when one of the jerks gave a vicious kick to my right side. I gasped as pain blossomed in my ribcage as the other form grabbed my right arm hauling me up and I guess to his head height since I suddenly felt hot breathing on my face.

Feeling incredibly brave, or incredibly stupid, I coughed out "You know I have tic-tacs in the kitchen. It's a good possibility that you should get one if this will continue on tonight."

With a guttural growl my captor flung me away and I crashed into the side table just under my living room window causing it to snap in half and dump all my papers around me. My head cracked against the wall and I fuzzily thought "Owie…that was going to leave a mark in the morning."

"Quit playing around and just knock her out" A rough voice said as once again the two shadows moved as one towards me.

"She kicked me!" a slightly higher but no less rougher voice whined.

"Yeah and she scratched the hell out of my hand, your point would be?"

High voice sounded sulky as he said "fine, but I get to knock her out."

Low voice sighed saying "whatever…"

As they approached me my out flung hand fluttered over a long slim shape and I realized that my silver dagger that had been on the side table was now in my grasp. With a snarl I lashed out with the sharp object and knew I had hit when one of the guys gave a pained cry and stumbled back.

"What the hell just happened!?"

"The little bitch has a knife!" High voice whined.

"Che, then I guess we'll just have to knock her out as soon as possible."

Just as the two forms were coming towards me again a loud pounding came from my door.

"Lian! Lian! It's me Allen! Are you all-right?"

Taking as deep a breath as my sore chest would let me I screamed "Allen help me!"

As the pounding came again with more force behind it I cast a fearful glance at the two forms beside me. As I was about to try another swipe at them we all turned our heads to the sound of sirens coming down the street.

"What are we supposed to do now?"

"There's no helping it… We're just going to have to get out of here."

"But the boss said he wanted her tonight."

My eyes began to widen as the two had their hurried conversation. Just what the blazons was going on here? This wasn't just a simple burglary gone wrong, this was supposed to be a kidnapping! I frantically thought in my mind about why would anyone want to get a hold on me but nothing came up. I wasn't rich, I had no connections to anyone powerful, and I knew all my family and with no one dead there was nothing I could inherit.

Suddenly my door flew open with a crash as Allen burst into my apartment. My two assailants quickly ran past me and burst through my windows scattering shard of glass over my prone form.

I let out a gasp of shock as the full moon outside briefly illuminated the two. It just wasn't possible…

I barely felt it when Allen came crunching over the glass shards to my side. I still didn't really register anything when he began shaking me and asking if I was all-right. All I could do was stare at my window in shock at what I had just seen.

Two officers quickly came through my door and one had the sense of mind to turn on my forgotten light. I blinked slowly at the sudden light that assailed my senses but still my gaze was riveted to the broken windows before me.

When the police began asking Allen if he had seen them I knew right then he hadn't. I don't think anyone would've been exactly calm after seeing a pair of demons.

As if in slow motion I replayed how the two looked as they finally came into the moonlight and just before they went through my windows. One of them had dark blue skin with reddish eyes and long black claws. The other was reddish skinned with golden eyes and had three small black horns along with his claws. I wanted to believe that it was all stage make-up but the chill little ball in the pit of my stomach told me other wise.

You know how sometimes you just get a gut feeling on something and when you follow it you feel a little surprised when it comes true? I never have that feeling of surprise because I know that what my instincts tell me is always true. Unfortunately what my instincts are telling me is that this is just the tip of the iceberg and it's melting pretty damn fast…
