Chapter 1 – The Hunter's meet
Dark and dreary was the only way to describe that night. Rain poured into the streets making torrents in the gutters and causing the alleyways to be slippery. The sound of feet could be heard running through those slippery alleys.
'Don't let it escape!' The woman's voice echoed through the dark streets. A loud screech filled the air.
'Don't let it feed!' Another woman yelled as they continued through the wet and dark corridors that seemed to twist on forever. Their prey darted around corners confusing them, the thick, cold rain not making the hunt any easier. Minutes seemed like an eternity.
'You two chase it down, I'll cut it off!' The third yelled leaping up onto the building via the fire escape. ..
He waited in the street staring up at the moon. His white hair was plastered to his fore head and his face was cast in the shadows. He could hear the screech of a demon and there was no way it was going to escape. He watched that dark alley and waited patiently. The wind accompanying the violent storm blew his red trench coat in different directions. Still he waited, still staring at that open path between the buildings, when suddenly a gigantic spider leapt out and headed straight for him.
'DOWN!' A woman yelled as two gunshots went off.
For a moment there was silence and the large spider curled up into a ball and died. A slender silver arrow protruded from its head and two bullet holes to the eyes had been what killed it. The man kicked it as it began to emit a stink. That noxious gas that emanated from its body as it died would have killed a human.
Suddenly from the same place emerged two women staring in disbelief as the man retrieved the arrow and admired how it shone under the moonlight. After he had examined it he dropped it, losing interest in it.
'Cassandra!' One of them yelled out panicking.
'I'm fine.' A voice from the roof answered. A slender woman leapt from the roof onto a dumpster and down onto the street. 'Not a scratch, Erené.' She stood up and brushed back her long dark brown hair.
The two other women looked entirely relieved. 'Well at least it's dead.' The unnamed woman muttered. 'But who killed it?'
'It's his kill.' Cassandra answered. 'It died before my arrow hit Tallia.'
The three girls looked at him. 'He is not human.' Erené said finally, 'He's got some dark energy running through his veins.'
He shrugged and went back to examine the corpse of the spider. 'You know ladies, there's plenty of me to go around… We can all share.' He answered cockily before pulling something off the dead spider demon and standing up again he grinned. 'After all sharing is good right?'
'Shut up moron.' Tallia answered stepping between the other two and him. 'As if my sisters are stupid enough to fall for such an idiotic line such as that!'
'Sisters huh?' He answered staring at them. 'You know for sisters you don't look anything alike.' After a long uncomfortable silence he sighed and shrugged examining the item he pulled from his prey.
'So you're a hunter as well?' Cassandra asked retrieving her arrow from where he had dropped it.
He smiled. 'Yeah.' He finished. 'You?'
'Temporarily.' She finished.
'Cassandra!' Tallia finished. 'Let's go, we need to get another kill or we wont get paid…'
He stood there watching them disappear into the darkness and smiled to himself. 'Sisters… Hahahahahahahahahah!' He laughed disappearing back the way he had come….
'Interesting…' The woman's scratchy voice whispered dipping her hand in the pool of water. 'And you tell me all three sisters travel together at all times?'
'Yes.' The man said nodding but keeping his head down.
The woman sat down on her elaborate throne and straightened her skirts. 'And you say that they have the talents?'
'Yes, the oldest one has the gift of magic. The next has the gift of second sight and sound, and the youngest has the sirens song. They are always traveling together, which would make them easy targets.' The man answered again never lifting his head. 'Your wickedness, may I suggest that we request their company this summer?' A small twisted sneer formed on his face as he awaited the woman's answer.
She paused, thinking on what he had said for a moment. 'Very well, Louis. You may invite them to our fine Isle for the Summer. After all, they should be introduced to their final moments in style.' She laughed dismissing Louis.
As he left the room, that sneer still on his face. 'And you my queen will meet your final moments in style as well...'
