Chapter 15 Another problem to the basket
"So your just letting her kill now?" Harmoni asked shooting another look at her sister. Every now and then Raven specially tracked down a bad guy just so Izzy could kill without fucking things up.
"Excuse me if I don't like child killing pedophiles" Raven rolled her eyes "Besides some people deserve to die"
"Yeah you got me" Harmoni laughed making Raven shoot her another look
"Where you off too lookin so pretty?"
"Nowhere to fancy, just a business meeting with Daryl" Harmoni shrugged picking up some papers.
"So your going home alone again?"
"Sadly, this is the highlight of my night" Harmoni sighed "Why is that you guys always get the guys but the nicest one is always left without"
"Well if it helps some of the guys were lookin at you the other day when you came home from the grocery store, I think I heard the word hot and goddam"
Harmoni giggled "Sadly the only one that is actually attractive is going out with the most insane chick I have ever met who will not hesitate to shoot me"
"Should I ask if he has a brother?"
Harmoni grabbed her keys "Nah I'm sure I'll find someone eventually, hopefully I won't be a block of ice by then"
Her meeting was just the usual, another man trying to get her business. No amount of money could make her sell, she had practically built her business from the ground up. Starting out as a small store of a few videos and cds, it grew until it was known as the only place to get good dvd's and music. She was proud of her business, it was something that she could call her own. She wasn't about to sell it not unless she had too but she didn't see that happening anytime soon. The dark walk home wasn't anything special, just a dark street and her lonesome self walking down it. Usually for a human that would be dangerous, for an Untouchable not so much. Pulling her jacket around her body she headed home, a part of her kind of lonely. It had been awhile since she had had a boyfriend or even someone interested, she wasn't sure what was wrong with her because it seemed that guys were more interested in the insane, psychotic, bubbly or X-man looking, plain, boring Harmoni was overlooked. She knew she sounded a little vengeful and sad but she didn't care, she had a right to feel that way because she was always the last one to get a glance. Sometimes she wasn't even sure if she was even needed for the team but apparently according to Raven she had her place.
"Well aren't we dangerous tonight?" That voice circled around her sending chills up her spine. In a flash she pulled out her daggers, she may of been plain and looked over but she wasn't a push over. She could handle her own very well.
"Who are you?" She looked at the dark cape covering his body, a death mask on his face. If he was the killer they were looking for she wasn't about to be an easy victim.
"I am your knight in caped armor" He spoke gently, those chills still chorusing throughout her body. "You certainly are beautiful"
She was more creeped out now, her daggers still drawn. "Ok thanks, I'm gonna go now"
She pushed past him and headed towards him, his icy cold touch locked on her wrist pulling her slim body against his chest. Her body was disarmed and all she could do was breathe. He sniffed her neck taking in her scent a low growl errupting from his cold lips.
"Mmmm you are so beautiful Harmoni, one day hopefully you'll be mine"
She finally regained her power, stabbing him as hard as she could. He let her go and looked at the wound. That creepy smile spilt out underneath that creepy mask "That wasn't very nice Harm"
She kicked him in the face so hard he actually fell backwards, clearly he forgot who he was fucking with. "Neither was that creep" Making sure that no one saw her she quickly orbed home freaking more than anything.
"You alright?" Raven asked not looking up from the computer.
"Am I alright? Am I not important enough to be dragged away from your work?" Harmoni snapped angrily. She had called for her team but no one came, obviously she wasn't important enough.
"What are you talkin about?" She finally looked up from her work having no clue what her sister was talking about. Thats a first.
"I called for you!" She stomped her foot. "I called for help because I was attacked by some creepy guy"
"Harmoni I didn't get any messages from you I give you my word"
She looked at her sister looking for the truth in her silver eyes, as she said the words she didn't believe them. Iziah was the type to leave you to die, not Raven. Everyone in her clan was important and always could count on Raven having their backs.
"Some demon cornered me and told me I was gonna be his someday"
"How do you know it was a demon?"
Harmoni rolled her eyes "I may not have the powers you do Raven but believe me I can spot a demon"
"And he wanted you?"
"You say that like I'm diseased"
"No I'm sayin it like Demons don't usually do that, they like killing because they are generally slow"
Hey!
Well your the exception Izzy
Damn straight
"It was a Demon, it had wings and we all know the only things that have wings are Demons"
Raven tapped her chin, "Alright I'll have a chat to an old friend and see what he says"
Harmoni backed away a little as her sister came up to her, knowing Raven this wasn't gonna end well. "What old friend?"
"Death" Raven answered suddenly stabbing Harmoni in the throat. She fell to the ground gasping blood rushing down her front.
"Shhh its ok Harm, just breathe" Raven soothed, on hand on her forehead to keep her sister alive. In a flash Death showed up his duty already to be carried out.
"I should of known, what do you want?" If he had eyes he would of been annoyed. Too many times had he dealt with Huntress and too many times had he lost out on a soul because of her.
"Have any Demons escaped hell lately?"
"No, not that I know of"
"So tell me what the hell attacked my sister tonight?"
He gave her a long stare "I don't know, maybe it was never dead" He chuckled alittle looking at Harmoni "Is anyone safe from you Huntress?"
"Only Jamie, now good-bye" She pulled out the knife and healing the wound. Harmoni spluttered as the life squeezed back into hr body.
"You could at least tell me when your gonna do that" Harmoni snapped irritated. "It really annoys me when I'm suddenly gasping for air"
"Sorry but I did find out that your Demon didn't escape hell"
"And thats good because?"
"It means it can be killed so we wait until he attacks again and bam!"
"And the dirt is gone" Harmoni laughed heading upstairs to her attic turned bedroom. That was the typical response after hearing that word.
When Harmoni was finally alone she took off her shirt and proceeded to get ready for bed. That creep still on her mind, was it wrong to like his touch? She figured it was because she hadn't been touched in so long she would like anyone touching her. Sighing somewhat sadly she shuffled around for her pj bottoms. Feeling a slight bulge in her pants pocket she pulled out a single black rose. One day Harmoni you will be mine. D
She just looked at the rose, it was so beautiful and innocent she just couldn't throw it away. Harmoni wasn't sure if this was a good idea but for the first time in a long time, she didn't feel lonely.
