The Hartman Chronicles Season 2 Chapter 12
My cell phone rang and I picked up, Lisa was on the line.
"Adrian!" she cried as the sound of yelling picked up in the back ground, "Adrian you've got to come quick! It's my father!"
"Consider us there!" I exclaimed and hung up the phone.
"Come on Tiramisu, we've got to go save Lisa!"
My phone rang again and I picked it up.
"Hello?" I said.
"Adrian!" Lisa's voice said, "Look there are some things I need to tell you!"
"What?"
"The reason I'm here," Lisa seemed to be choking on tears. "And about my father."
"Well tell me," I said.
"The reason I'm here in Tokyo is because eight years ago, my old house was burned to a ground by a mysterious fire. Both my parents were killed."
"I see, so who is your father now?"
"He was one of my dad's old friends, named Gavin; I thought he was a great guy, until I found out how much of an evil man he is!"
"How is he so evil?"
"He's a drunkard! He comes home from the bars and beats me most of the time! Before I met you guys I had to work at the pound to stay away from him! I also became hopeless, like no one understood me! Then you guys came along…"
"And?"
"The way you guys showed your friendship to each other, something about it gave me hope! For that I thank you, but Gaven is really angry tonight and is trying to kill me!"
"Why?"
"I don't know! He thinks that I've flirting with someone!"
"And he's killing you for that?"
"He normally beats me for more serious things."
"I see, look we'll be right there if you give me the directions to your place."
"Texting them now!" Lisa said and my phone buzzed, "I just got it, will be there soon!"
I hung up the phone again and entered the address into the G.P.S. app of my phone. I looked at Tiramisu and nodded.
"Now we'll go help Lisa!"
Tiramisu nodded and we ran to Lisa's house, the house as a two story that had a white finish. I went up to the door and forced it open. Tiramisu and I walked in and heard a noise coming from upstairs. We ran upstairs to the noise and saw a man, about thirty, with brown hair, a black vest, and black jeans on.
"Damn it Lisha open up!" the man roared with a drunken accent.
"I saw that shotgun you had!" Lisa's voice yelled from behind the door.
"Lishen Lisha you open thish damn door right thish minute! I know you've been flirting with one of the boysh at the café!"
"I told you I haven't flirted with anyone!"
"It mush be that Adrian fellow!"
"Quiet Gavin!"
"I'm right aren't I!" the man exclaimed. "I told you to not go there and look what you've done!"
"I haven't done anything wrong!" Lisa shouted.
"Now you just open up there and we'll,"
I sprung into action and knocked the man to the ground, I tried to pull the shotgun from his hands but he knocked me down and almost shot me. He went over to Lisa's door and forced it open. He stormed in there and the next thing I heard was the sound of a shotgun going off. Tiramisu and I ran in and saw the demon from earlier standing in front of Lisa with a fist clenched in front of him.
"You know it's not kind to shoot your adoptive daughter," The demon said and unclenched his fist, the shotgun shells dropped to the floor.
"How did you get in here ya shpawn of Shhatan?" the man snapped.
"Oh, I have my ways," the demon smiled.
The man wiggled his gun at the demon and prepared to fire again. The demon quickly knocked the gun out of his hand and crushed it beneath his heel.
"Now would you please, kindly, stop trying to kill this girl?"
The man ran at the demon, who easily countered him.
"I see, you're so convinced that this girl has been flirting with others that nothing is going to change your mind."
All of us heard a blood curling laugh come from the backyard.
"Ah, crap" the demon said, "We've got trouble!"
"Of courshhe we do! You brought one of your demon friendsh here!"
Several pitch black tentacles shot from the ground and pulled us into the backyard, which was pretty nice. As all of us were suspended by the tentacles a girl with demon horns and black feathered wings flew down to us. She only had a black, leather bra on and black leather panties covering her you-know-what.
"Why thatsh a mighty fine demon girl!" the drunk man whistled. A pain shot through all the tentacles and the woman laughed.
"You know that lame pick up lines like that won't win her over," the demon said.
"You can't blame a guy for tryin'!" the drunk exclaimed.
"Yeah I can!" The demon roared, "You almost got us killed!"
The demon spun out of the tentacles grip.
"Lisa! Attack now!" he ordered.
"I'm not in my Mew form!" Lisa shot back. "Besides if Gavin see's me…"
"Who cares if Gavin sees you? If he tries to lay a finger on you I'll kill him myself!"
Lisa nodded and the demon thought for a second, he muttered something to himself, it sounded like, "Can she unlock her ability now?"
What the heck is he saying? I thought.
The tentacles tried to strike the demon again.
"Tell me Lisa," He said, "Do you feel any different?"
"Well I have a burning rage against Gavin!"
"Hm…I see, Try refocusing that rage into your Sour Lemon Howl."
"What would that do?"
"Trust me,"
Lisa nodded and her eyes became a dark blue void.
"Ribbon Lemon Metamorphosis!" Lisa exclaimed. She went into her Mew form, but this time a blue fire surrounded her. Lisa took out her mic and yelled "Bitter Lemon Serenade!". All of a sudden we heard what sounded like shattering glass. We looked at the demon girl and saw strange, blue colored shards fall from her body. The demon girl collapsed on the ground and turned into a twenty-two year old female.
The drunkard looked at Lisa.
"Well I'll be damned!" he exclaimed, "Sho thish wassh you deshtiny!"
"What do you mean?" Lisa asked.
The drunk stood up, "I guessh I should tell the reashon I shtarted to drink after I adopted you."
"What was the reason?"
"You shee I wassh there the day your houshe caught of fire, and I sshaw who did it! It wassh a shixteen year old boy with brown hair! The boy had a shtrange face, ash if he enjoyed burning your houshe down. He turned around shhaw me, and told me. Lisshen Gavin, take Lisha ash your own and move to Tokyo, I'll make shure you have enough fundsh to get there! I wassh like no way am I doing that, but then thish kid showed me what would happen if I didn't take ya in, the vishion has haunted me ever shince. I thought a good drink would make this vishions go away! Alsho the kid shpoke to me about your deshtiny being in Tokyo. Now that I shee what it that deshtiny ish I guessh it wassh a good thing that we cam here."
The demon looked uneasy.
"So it is some sixteen year old psychic's fault I'm here in the dump?" Lisa huffed, "That's just great."
The demon looked at the Lisa and flew off.
"Who was that guy anyways?" Lisa asked.
"No clue," I said, "We only met him today too."
Tiramisu looked at her watch. "Speaking of today, I need to get home!"
I nodded, "And I should get back to the café."
As I walked off I began to think about the demon, I knew something big was going to happen, I just couldn't put my finger on what it could be.
