Tick Tock
Maya and Zefie walked through the streets not saying a word to each other. The air was thick with the stench of decay. Something moved, but didn't come close to them do to the fact it was a low level demon. Maya thought about how strange it was for someone wanting a darn clock. No one ever asked her to find anything but demons. Zefie looked at the stars. Something was troubling her, but she didn't know what it was.
"Maya, why do you seem so distant?" Zefie asked hoping to figure out something about the girl with her.
"Me. There is a lot to that answer, for now though I'm going to let you think that for yourself." Maya never liked to talk to herself. She wasn't in the mood ever to tell people why she kept to herself or why she hated helping people. Her life was full of hurt and anger, she didn't want to share that with anyone.
"So what do you do to make money?"
"Kill demons. People pay good money to kill a demon that is bothering them or killed someone they knew."
"I see. I do odd jobs for both sides of the coin. I don't care who ask me to do it because they either might know something about me or I'm bored." Zefie explained her own way of getting money.
"I like the way you think girl. For me though I hate the Law. They think they are doing us good, yet I would have loved to see that good when everything first went bad. I mean who saved all the people in the train that was thrown off the tracks or when the plane was slashed in half in mid flight!" Maya knew people who were on both the train and plane when the world went to the demons.
"I'm sorry," Zefie didn't know what else to say to her. At that moment they both went quiet. Each thinking of the past or their lack of it. Maya thought of the family she lost, and Zefie thought about the fact she didn't remember anything before the world became hell.
They walked in silent for another ten minutes until something moved in the shadows. Both girls pulled out their weapons and waited. Something was there, but whatever it was was not about to come out and get killed yet.
"Guess it was nothing then," Maya said as she holstered her gun.
"Yeah might have just been a cat. We should keep moving if we don't want to get caught by anything." Zefie started forwards again. She wasn't scared, but she wasn't calm either. She had a gut feeling that something was about to go wrong.
Sky watched the clock. He was waiting for Zefie to call him. She was to call him an hour ago, but she never did. His mind went to the worst, but then he remembered that she was better then he let his mind think. As he paced his phone rang. Jumping about ten feet from the sudden noise he grabbed his phone.\
"Hello? Oh hey Jessie." Jessie was a cowgirl who used a magnum for her weapon of choice. She wore your typical cowgirl outfit with even the hat. She was of the choice of Law.
"Yeah she joined with some girl. Her name is Maya Kyle. She is Chaos, yet she hasn't done anything to hurt us or her yet. I think she is more in the fact of not giving a shit rather than hurting." Jessie explained to him. Her job was to make sure people who were working for them were safe.
"Good. I want you to watch them. Even join the two as soon as something goes wrong. Oh and Jessie be careful out there okay."
"Don't worry doll, I'm always safe." With that she hung up the phone. Sky sat down on his bed, which just as he was about to relax his phone rang again. This time it was Zefie.
"Hey I'm almost to the clock. Um just one question did you happen to know that it was on a boat?" Zefie asked. He could hear water in the background. That meant she was getting closer to the boat. Something was bothering Sky but he had no clue what it was.
"Zifie, be careful near the water you never know what is in it." After that he hung up. He knew it was stupid, but he grabbed his sniper rifle and headed for the docks.
Maya walked along the docks. Zefie told her she had to make a call meaning she had to walk by herself for a bit. As she walked she saw a girl sitting on one of the docks all on her own. She had red hair with blue highlights. Maya started her way over to her when Zefie called for her. All the girl did was turn and stared at her. The girl just stood up and walked away after a bit.
"What?" Maya asked coldly when she found Zefie standing in front of expensive looking boat.
"That is where the clock is," she said as she walked over to the boat. Something was off about all this and Maya drew her gun out of its holster.
As they both made their way on to the boat something moved under the water surface. Jessie saw this and got ready for a fight. She knew something bad was on its way, but she didn't know what it was. As she walked along the roof she saw a man past through the shadows. Jessie waited to see if he did anything, but all he did was stand there.
In the boat the girls found themselves face to face with a huge storage space. Maya clicked the flashlight attached to her 9mm on and that was when they saw it. An old Grandfather clock stood in the center of it all. Zefie took in a breath before walking towards it. It was surrounded by elegant design of flowers and daggers. The clock hands were shaped like angel wings.
"That is the clock?" Maya asked as she looked it up and down.
"I'm taking it so. But why would he want this clock? There is nothing about it that seems different than any normal clock." Zefie looked the clock up and down and still could not see anything about the clock that made it worth wild.
"I AM NOT JUST SOME NORMAL CLOCK. I HAVE YOU KNOW I HAVE BEEN AROUND LONGER THEN YOU HAVE BEEN. AND I HAVE MORE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT DEMONS THEN YOU GIRLS COULD EVER KNOW!" A booming voice came out of nowhere as the girls jumped back both readying their weapons.
"Who are you?" Zefie asked as she looked around seeing no one else in the room.
"Don't tell me the clock," Maya said sarcastically as walked over to it.
"NAME'S IGOR, AND YOU TWO SEEM TO BE LOOKING FOR ME. YES I AM THE CLOCK, BUT I DIDN'T MEAN TO POSSESS IT. DAMN THIS SUCKS." Igor explained as they both stared the clock down.
"What are you?" Zefie asked as she leaned against a crate by the wall. She suddenly felt tired from all the walking they did.
"I AM THE ONE WHO HELPS BIND YOU HUMANS WITH DEMONS. THEY GIVE THEMSELVES TO YOU MAKING IT SO THEY FIGHT ALONG SIDE YOU." This made Maya gag. It was a fake gag, but it was to show him she was sick of what he said.
"What human in their right mind would want a demon to fight with them? I for one would rather see them dead." Maya was turning to walk away when she felt something touch her. Spinning around she saw Zefie looking her in the eyes.
"Please I need this clock." Her eyes showed Maya that she was hoping that she help her.
"No," was all Maya said before she walked off the boat. She heard Zefie falling behind her, but she didn't look back at her. She hated the fact that some demon possessed clock just offered to bind demons to them. It made her sick to think of been helped by the things that killed half the human race.
As Zefie walked behind her, the thing in the water made its move. It went straight for Zefie who had no clue it was there. Jessie tried to warn her, but it was too late. Maya turned as she heard Zefie let out a scream of terror. She saw her hit the ground then getting drag to the water. The whole time Jessie shot at the thing, but whatever it was had Zefie in its grip for good.
Maya ran for Zefie and right as she went to grab her hand someone came behind her. She saw the shadow before she felt the hand go around her neck. She could tell by the hand the person holding her was a man. Maya could feel his breath on her neck, and his hand squeezing tighter.
"Who are you?" She heard the other girl ask. Maya didn't know her, but she could tell from the way she stood she was Law.
"Name's Zayin. I was hired to kill anyone who tried to take the clock. Seems to me I have two girls that need to be taken care of. A demon handled the other one for me. Perfect time on its part if I do say so myself." His voice was deep. Maya felt his hand tighten even more. He was going to kill her and she was powerless to do anything to stop him.
Jessie tried to get a clear shot, but he kept Maya in her path of fire. She could tell that if she didn't do anything soon Maya was going to die. At that moment she heard Zefie yell for help. Jessie had to decide whether to save one or the other. This was something she feared she had to do.
Maya felt something move through her body as her life slipped farther and farther away. A name came to her brain as she tried to just let herself go. Something in her made her speak the words as she fade into darkness.
"Pixie."
Okay now is the time for you to pick your first demon. If you played most or all the games of the series you know that you always start with a low class demon. So please pick something that would be considered low class. Thanks and the next update will be coming soon.
