Chapter Three: Good Moments
The morning rays of the sun sneak into my room and land on my face, I stir from my sleep and open my eyes only to close them again and cover them with me hand blocking the sun from my eyes. I groan irritated and sit up yawning, rubbing my tired eyes. I get up from my bed and go into the bathroom, it was just a small but simple bathroom, sink, mirror, bath, shower, and toilet. Everything was just a faded dull white colour from being so old.
I look in the mirror and look at myself, my brown eyes looked so dull. I have mother's eyes…, my black raven hair all a mess. My mother had blonde hair… she said my father had black hair like mine and I look just like him…
I go over to the shower and turn the water on and watch the hot steam fill the room, I begin to take my clothes off. I take off my black army boots, brown hoodie coat with the hunter's icon on it, black long sleeve shirt, long black pants and other clothing. I step into the shower and feel the hot water pour down on me soaking my body. I stand there letting the water wash over me as I'm left with my thoughts, all I can think about is that day. That memory playing over and over again, those blood red eyes, her scream. Tears run down my cheek, someone knocks on the door loudly making me snap out of it and wipe the tears away.
They knock again and from the sound of it they were impatient or annoyed, "Damn it Jason you better not still be asleep?! It's one P.M!" a smirk crawls onto my face, Elliot. Never could sit still that boy always got to be up and running, I turn the water off and get out grabbing a towel wrapping it around me. "Can't you wait five minutes?!" I laugh to myself and walk into the room to my draws and get new clothes to wear. A simple grey T-shirt and black jeans, I open the door to see Elliot standing there moving from foot to foot. "Finally" smirking at me with his big messy brown hair covering one of his green eyes. "Sorry late night mission" I close the door behind me as I yawn, both of us standing in the hallway. "Oh right so how it go? What monster?" he asks curious "Gargoyle, just saved a lady from being ripped apart and got thrown into a brick wall" rubbing the back of my head. "Ouch but you won since your still here" he laughs hooking his arm around my neck. "Yeah" I smile as we walk down the hall.
We walk down the many halls and stairs until we got to the dining hall, it was pretty big and a little fancy too, it was old fashion and dull because of its age but we keep it looking pretty good still. We walk down beside the long wooden table in the middle of the room, "You sit and I'll get the food alright" Elliot smiles and walks off to get the food as I sit down on one of the many chairs. He only ever gets me my food whenever I have a rough night or day, he was a friend you could rely on no matter what, even if he plays tricks on you and has a short temper he was a great friend and I couldn't ask for anyone better.
I close my eyes and wait for him to come back. "Hello Mr. Dupre" I open my eyes and look up to see who it is, "Head Master Crow" he smiled at me holding a cup of coffee in one hand and his walking stick in the other as always. "I'm glad to see you're alright Jason I heard that you took on last night's mission, Gargoyles such beastly things but so interesting" he took a sip from his mug. "Yeah I only got hurt a little bit" I rub my arm nervous, Head Master Crow always gets so worked up when I get hurt for some reason. "Please be more careful I don't know what I would do without you" he walks off with a sad expression, "Oh and one more thing, after you finish your meal come to my office I need to speak with you". I nod as I watch him walk away, I've known Head Master Crow before I became a hunter. He was a LEVEL 5 hunter at the time but in the past few years he has just been sitting here not going at to fight, I guess old age is getting to him.
"What was that all about?" I turn my head to see Elliot back with a pieces of bacon sticking out of his mouth holding two plates of bacon and eggs. He puts the plates down on the table and sits next to me, "Nothing really he just wants to see me after I eat" I look at my food and start to eat. "Why is he so nice to you? Every time he talks to me he only ever tells me off", "that's because you keep blowing up the court yard" I laugh at his irritated face. Elliot had a thing with homemade bombs he does tests trying to make the perfect bomb to kill a vampire and werewolf which he thinks would be helpful even though his only a LEVEL 2 hunter and we aren't allowed to go for them because they are LEVEL 4's. But so far they are nothing but failures in result of not working at all or blowing the whole place and he always gets into to so much trouble. All though I feel sorry for him though, he's always so cheerful and strong never giving up. But he grew up an orphan he's never meet his parents and the other kids picked on him yet he stands tall never looking back. I finish my breakfast and get up, "hey don't leave your plate!" he yells at me with his mouth full. "Be a bud and put it away for me!" I run off laughing heading for Head Master Crows office. He swallows his food and wipes his mouth and grins looking at the plate I left, "I wish I was strong like you, you're still able to smile even after seeing that horrible sight" he puts his foot on the table and pushes himself back a little swinging on his chair looking at the ceiling, "I could never smile again if I saw what you saw".
