Chapter Two: The Beginning
12 Years Early…
The cold night wind blows, my hair waving in the wind as I stand on top the office building roof looking over the city. I sigh in boredom and close my eyes, "Where are you?" I open my eyes and look up at the night sky, the dark clouds covering the stars and moon. I let out another sigh and close my eyes again thinking of that horrible day. It was just like this day… dark… lonely… blood everywhere…, a loud scream wakes me up from my thoughts, I open my eyes and look in the direction the scream came from and hear a loud screech coming from the same place. "Gotcha!" I smirk as I run full speed over to the edge of the building and jumps off and land on the roof of the building next door. I continue to run and jump from building to building until I came close enough to the area. I hear a scream for help coming from around the corner of the building. I jump down from the roof down into the fire exit jumping from there to lower my chance of injury. I land on the ground in the alley way, I pull out my two hand guns from my belt and slowly walk to the corner where the scream came from. I lean on the wall guns ready and peek my head around the corner, a young lady on the ground staring at the monster in fear. Gargoyle, ugly things they are but deadly and smart. It lifts it lanky grey arm up razor sharp claws ready to rip the poor women apart, she screams again and covers her face with her arms. I walk out into the open and point my guns at it, "Oi, ugly!" it turns its head to me and puts its arm down and screeches at me showing its sharp yellow teeth as its pointy bat like ears fold back. I pull the trigger on both guns and shot it in both shoulders. It screams in pain and flies off around the corner, I run over to the lady. "Are you ok?" I asked nicely seeing if she was hurt. "Y-yes... I-I'm fine" she shattered, her brown eyes full of fear. "You better get out of here it's not safe, can you walk?" , she nods her head and stands up and tries to fix up and wipe the dirt off her white skirt "Wait what will you do?" she looks at me worried. "I'm going to go after it, it's my job" I smile sweetly at her a run off after the beast.
I look around the dark alley not seeing anything, I look to the ground and see drops of blood that most likely came from it. I hear movement coming from the trash bin and I point my guns as I walk slowly to it ready for it to jump out. I lean over looking into it seeing nothing but trash bags. Suddenly a black cat jumps out from it, startled I back away from it as it runs away. I sigh "just a cat..." I turn around and all I see are the Gargoyles big red demonic eyes and next thing I know it throws me into the wall hard. I drop my guns as I hit the wall, I quickly move out of the move as it tries to grab me. It climbs up the wall out of sight, I look around trying to find it. It slowly climbs down the ladder of the fire escape behind me and pushes me into the wall again, pinning me there. I make a reach for my gun, as it inches closer ready to sink its teeth into me. I grab the gun and as fast as I could and shoves it into the side of its head and pulls the trigger sending the bullet through its skull and its blood splatting over me and the ground. It drops onto my lap completely lifeless as its blood pours out of its cold body, I push it off me panting hard. I get up off the ground only to almost fall back down, I hold onto the trash bin to stay up and touch the back of my head. It badly hurts, I looked at my hand and saw blood. "Shit..." I pick up my other gun and start to walk away. I stop and look back at the dead beast and watch its body turn into flames as it burns into nothingness. I walk away down the street back to the one place I call home.
I walk to an old abandon mansion on the outside of the city, you would think it's abandon but really it's the Hunters Association, home. I open the huge doors and feel the warmth of the room hit my skin, I shut the door behind with a loud creak. Its late so everyone would likely be in bed I thought to myself, I walk down the hall way to the infirmary to see the nurse to check my head. I reach the infirmary and see the door open and lights on, I walk in and see the nurse at her desk, Miss Abigail. She was one of the most prettiest women you'll ever see, Her thin rim glasses hanging from the V-line on her white done up doctor's coat which reveals her cleavage, her pale blonde hair tied back into a messy yet neat bun with some of her long wavy hair still hanging out on both sides.
"Hello Miss Abigail" I kindly ask walking up to her. She looks up at me, "Hello Jason" she smiles. Her smile is always so warm and sweet, just seeing her smile can make anyone feel better. "Why are you still up for?" "Because I heard you had a monster to deal with and thought I'll stay up just in case you got hurt, and I'm guessing you did since you came in here instead of going to bed" her face turns into a sad expression, her crystal blue eyes full of so much worry. "Yeah I got my head smacked onto a brick wall" rubbing the back of my neck. "Let me look", I sat down on one of the beds as she puts her glasses on and checks the back of my head. "It's just a little cut and you don't have a concussion so everything's fine" she smiles again and cleans up all the blood and the wound. After she finished I thanked her and said goodnight, I walked back through the hall way and walked up the stairs and went through more hall ways. I reach my room and unlock the door and walk in closing the door behind me locking it. My room wasn't big or fancy, all it had was a bed, bedside table with a lamp, a built in fire place, a wardrobe and its own bathroom, and it had dull brown walls and grey carpet. I put my guns onto the bedside table and collapse onto my bed exhausted, I sigh closing my eyes and fall asleep within minutes.
