Chapter 4,
We traveled to the iron gates. Jeremiah brought Sorora to the guards so she can take them out. They open the gates and everybody starts to run. Raymond changes and holds me in his mouth. 'Charmed I'm sure' Leila says. Raymond ignores her sarcastic sentence and runs away.
When we are near a city, we hide in the woods. 'We need a car or something' Duncan complains. 'Well change in one then!' Sorora demands. Everybody looks at him while Raymond puts me on the ground. 'Yeah objects are your thing right?' He says with a strange glance in his eyes. Duncan sighs and walks towards the road and concentrates. 'Is he really doing this?' Leila asks. 'Yeah it is that or shitting' Raymond says and laughs devilish. In front of our eyes , he changes into a red colored pickup truck. 'Are you still going to step into the truck or what?' Duncan the car asks impatiently. 'This is too weird…' Mallory climbs on the back and takes a seat. 'Well? What are you guys waiting for? We have a car!' She says annoyed.
After a couple hours of driving we finally reached a hotel. Everybody is tired and with the help of Raymond I can stand a bit on my own feet and talk again. 'Excuse me, gentlemen and ladies' the receptionist looks at us like we are scum. Sorora walks towards him. 'We want a room with enough space for all of us' She demands. He laughs. 'Can you pay it?' Sorora smiles. 'We want a room with enough space for all of us and bring us some clean clothes' she commands this time. His eye color lights up and he smiles. 'Yes, here you have the keys of several suites on the 12th floor, clean clothing will be brought once you've signed here and we need your sizes' 'and it's free I assume? 'She asked while lifting the pen. 'Of course Miss, you are our special guests for tonight!' He sounds delighted! Sorora is good! 'Very well, also nobody knows we are here, understood?' He nods, she takes the key and we walk towards the elevators.
Once we are in the first suite everybody takes a seat and breathe. 'Great so we are in London!' Jeremiah concludes while drinking a glass of whisky. Raymond puts me on the couch. It looks so beautiful here. Big chandeliers and a big, dreamy, comfortable bed, I wish I could lie there instead of sitting here like a zombie. 'So I have 4 keys and we are with 7 of us...' Sorora says. 'I sleep alone!' Raymond takes one key and I see Mallory looking devastated. 'But company is better! I mean what if they find us? It's possible you know' she tries. 'I will eat them like they are my dessert' He looks dangerously and walks away. 'I'll sleep with Miss half paralyzed' Jeremiah laughs as he says this. 'I am fine' I claim and stand up. Immediately I fall on the ground. Maybe I'm not that fine. 'You see Raymond carried you mostly, you're not strong enough to carry your own weight' Jeremiah helps me back on the couch. 'It will take 24 hours at least until you feel normal again' I roll my eyes. 'Let's sleep guys, I'm tired' Mallory sighted and took Sorora with her. Duncan and Leila walked behind them, talking about food. 'I have to pee' Jeremiah helped me to the toilet. 'Privacy?' I ask him. Jeremiah smiles and walks away. I lock the door. When I turn around I see the room spinning. As fast as I can, I hang myself above the toilet and puke. Jeremiah bangs on the door yelling I have to open it or he will appear next to me. 'Shut up' I say weakly before I lose consciousness.
'Constantine' Someone whispers my name and I see Raymond sitting on the couch. 'So how was your sleep? Even sleeping beauty didn't take so long for waking up' He grins. 'What do you want asshole?' I say cranky. 'Well you have been sleeping for 3 days now so what I want is you to shower and get dressed' I roll my eyes. 'Piss off Raymond' 'Well Jeremiah and the others are gone; buying some stuff and I had to babysit you because Mallory doesn't like me anymore.' My eyes widen and I jump from the bed above him and slowly squeeze his throat. 'What did you do?' With one move he pushes me of him. 'Nothing that could break your girlfriend's heart. I just said she could better go with the others' I don't believe him but looking at his eyes I better not push him further. I walk away to the shower and ignore his helping hand.
When I walk out of the bathroom I am fully dressed. I wear black jeans with high boots and a red sweater. I comb my hair to one side so I can braid it. 'So what is the plan?' I ask. 'Well..' Before he can finish or even start his sentence we both look to the door where someone is knocking. 'Room service!' A female voice says friendly. I look at Raymond and we both sneak to the balcony. 'We have to climb' He says looking up. The door bashes open and Raymond helps me to the other balcony next to us. 'I think we can't get there without…' Raymond kisses me. His soft lips make me feel blurry. 'Are they gone?' I look carefully behind him and nod. 'Okay so I have a plan...' He looks down. 'What? You want to go down?' I am still thinking of that kiss! 'You do remember I can't survive that right?' 'Well neither do I unless I plan this right' I look behind him and with a clumsy movement I pull him over the balcony. Two soldiers shoot at us. 'Well here goes my plan!' We both keep falling. He changes in the Satanic beast and tries to get underneath me. I grab his blood red horns and hold tight when I see the ground coming closer.
We land safely and Raymond changes back so I roll off him. 'Run!' He yells. After several hours of running and hiding we finally take a break in a busy street. 'Shouldn't we contact the others? Maybe change clothes?' 'No the plan has changed now, Jeremiah will find us.' I roll my eyes. Before I can complain Raymond pushes me on the ground. 'Seriously in the cage you were more noticeable' I see the bullets floating over his head. 'Piss off Raymond!' I say cranky. 'Okay princess don't blame me when you get shot.' He says and rolls off me. I see a newspaper and grab it. 'A newspaper really?' He asks. I ignore him, jump up, roll the paper and run towards my first victim. I will show him how to use this newspaper! I hit the soldier in his belly with it and while he collapses I grab his gun and throw it far away. Then I hit him hard in his face after I throw his helmet away. I make a summersault and appear behind him so I can choke him with the paper. Raymond looks impressed but changes himself in the satanic beast, before he can grab the soldier behind him, he gets caught in a special net. Immediately he changes back in his human form. A soldier who tried to surprise me by attacking from behind gets an elbow against his nose. I grab the newspaper from the ground, break his arm and kneecaps, push the paper in his mouth and give him another knee in his face and balls. The street is empty now, everybody ran, from the moment the soldiers appeared. 'Grab the girl' Someone yelled. 2 soldiers run towards me and I look around. What can I use as weapon? But the first one already grabs my arm. Acrobatically I jump on his shoulders and crack his neck with my knees. I take his knife from his back pocket and throw it in the other soldiers head. As fast as I can I take a run and make a perfect summersault and end up pushing a soldier on the ground. I fall on my back because of the force I used. I scribble up and grab his gun before I crack his skull with my weight. I shoot the last 3 soldiers and help Raymond out of the net. 'So far being a princess' I pant. 'You sure did well' We walk away and leave the weapons behind.
I'm tired. This fight cost me a lot.
