But it seems luck was not on my side, for the moment I locked eyes with the demon he spun around sending a silver knife in my direction. Dogging I jumped to the left jumping into the air a good six feet, putting some distance between us. His glare fallowed me with piercing red eyes, my purple showed full of playfulness, but overall my face became stocked.
Tension was in the air; it was soon interrupted by a chuckle from the Undertaker.
"O my! What secrets are you hiding dear Hazen!" he giggled and tapped a long, pointed, black fingernail at me. My gaze never faltered from the demon.
"My secrets are that of nothingness, one cannot comprehend what does not call them." Voice as cold as ice escapes my pale lips. "What biasness dose a demon has with me?"
By the look on the child's face he did not expect those words from my mouth, but that soon changed to one of calculation.
"Sebastian this is an order: Capture that girl!" in a swift motion the butler lunged at me.
"Yes my lord." Was his only reply as I braced myself for the attack, I was eager for a challenging battle. As he lunged he pulled out four silver knives, my hand instantly went to the kunai I had hidden in my shoe, I crouched down fully pulling out the knife as he shot over me. Brining the dagger up I swiftly stabbed him in his thigh; then quickly grabbing his ankle I directed his path around to crash into a wall. But he for seen my move and brought the four knifes to my unguarded back. Letting go of his foot I moved my body to jump up, narrowly missing the incoming daggers. Doing a back flip I landed on the far wall, braising myself I pushed off the wall sending a hard kick to the bewildered demon.
Faster than even I could watch the demon had grabbed my foot and sent me flying into a stack of crates, cosign a loudcrack. That rattled the building my form had smashed into, to stunned to comprehend the situation, my body slide to the ground. From that one blow I could tell that there was a saver power levelbetween us, well in this state at least.
A sigh escaped the child's lips.
"Hurry this up! We do not have all day." His voice is board, but the hint of annoyance in it.
"My apologies master but she seems to be putting up more of a strug-"he could not finish his sentence, for my fist had met his pale face and he crashed into the other building none to gently.
I folded my arms across my chest, showing no signs of the struggle.
"I tire of this little game with you demon, what do you want with me?" I wanted to settlethis problem; if I did not want to reveal my power to the people of this world I would not be able to prolong this little spar with this demon. "If you do not answer my question then state you're business."
This did not seem to site well for the child; I could care less how this spoiled brat felt. But all in all he did comply with my statement.
"What are you?" his cold blue eyes stared daggers at me, I chuckled.
"I am sorry child but I will not answer that but do not worry, I will not be of any danger for you and your collared demon!" I mocked the demon as he emerged from the spot I sent him flying into, his face did not have one smidge of happiness or that smirk that plastered his features earlier. The glare he sent me would have made any other human tremble, by the pure maliciousfeeling. Key word human, but I simply smiled. Possibly my most crazyaction I have done yet.
The child snarled.
"Don't toywithme girl! You who are no older then I!" it was clear to see that I had just height a nerve. A laugh filled the air; I could not hold it in any longer.
"I am sorry boy but you are mistaken, I am older then you I have cleared 16." His mouth dropped in disbelief. My laugh turned into giggles. "But many people do underestimate are child like appearances! That's what makes tense situations morefun!"
"But how could that be!" he has still not grasped the concepts of shortness.
I rolled my eyes, "Come on! It's an easyconclusion!"
Before the matter could have gone any further the butler once again stepped in between the boy and me.
"If you will not answer my master then answer me this monster, what is the likes of your kind doing in this world?" his voice is hard and cold red eyes glowing. I snort.
"So it is true that you have either come across one of my kind or heard rumors, I praiseyou for having such a sharp memory!" my words are laced with sarcasm.
The demon simple glares at me.
"My someone is not up for games, o well. It was fun while it lasted!" My eyes flashed gold as I looked at the child. "I will let your clever little mind figure that out, but I will leave you with one clue: I am the shadow in the dark, I know all your dirty secrets, because of me you stay in your house at night, I am the creature hiding through blood and homicide." My voice held a singsong key to it. If the demon and his master are as smart as they appear, it should be an interesting challenge for both. "If you figure out what the answer… you will know where to find me." With my last words I jump over the wall that was behind me leading to an alley way in the back, the sound butler fallow me. But by then the shadows had consumed me…
