Present
"what were those things from earlier?" I asked.
"demons"
"you don't speak much do you?"
"no"
It was like talking to a brick wall, he was so emotionless to he looked calm and collected despite what had happened mere minutes before on this same street. I sighed.
"anyway how do you know were I need to be" I asked I knew he would have to give me more thana one word answer this time.
"I don't" he said.
"well don't you want to know?"
"I guess I should" he answered.
"well I need to be in the other direction about two blocks down, you know what you've done enough for me already I'll get my self home, thank you for saving me" I said, before turning and walking as fast as I could away from him before he could answer me. But after about five minutes I realised he was following me, and sighed loudly. His pace slowed behind me."he must have heard me" I thought not really knowing how he was quite a distance behind me, I quickened my pace, and so did he.
"so you wanna race huh" I said to myself and started running, in truth I was pretty fast when I wanted to be, but no matter how fast i ran he kept up with me all the while maintaining the distance between us. Thinking I would get him off gaurrd I suddenly stopped but he stopped at the same time.
"why are you following me" I shouted before I turned round ,but to my surprise there was no-one behind me just the empty street.
"that's strange I could've sworn he was there" I whispered to myself.
"who was there?" a voice behind me asked and I jumped standing before me was the same man or was it he was dressed differently he was wearing red instead of blue although his face was the same and his hair colour was identical.
"whats up pretty lady your staring at me"
"you wish, I just saw someone that looks like you only he's wearing blue"
"oh really, that's a pretty lame pickup line" he said smirking.
"who the hell are you anyway?" I asked blushing slightly.
"the name's Dante, who are you?"
"erm my name's Alice" I replied looking around.
" you seem distracted" Dante said.
"I was sure he was following me a minute ago"
"is this guy your boryfriend or something?"
"what no I just met the guy he saved me from something and he was walking me home until I decided to go ahead alone and then he followed me and we were racing but when you appeared he disappeared"
"maybe he doesn't really exist and you just trying to get me to walk you home" he said smirking.
"whatever." I said walking past him
"I'm nearly home anyway guess I'll have to thank him later"
"nice to meet you Alice" Dante shouted after me I just waved behind me in response and carried on walking. My home looked very inviting after all that had happened I just wanted to sleep.
I opened the door to my house and locked it behind me turning on all the lights.
"home sweet home" I whispered. The house itself was way too big for one person. It had five bedrooms and two bathrooms. I had inherited it from my parents when they passed away, they also left me more than enough money to live very comfortably for the rest of my life. Growing up as part of the aristocracy had not been all glitter and gold though, my sister had died at a young age from sickness, so my parents were very over protective of me they never let me out the house without an escort. But after they died I didn't feel a need for all the servants and maids around so I fired all of them all except, Nethaneol my butler and friend he had been my only friend for most of my life and even though he was my butler and several years older than me he looked the same age as me and acted younger than his age. Although from my memory he hadn't changed or aged at all over the years. In the kitchen Nethaneol stood over a kettle pouring tea in two tea cups.
"good evening miss" he said politely, setting the cups on the table in the centre of the room, the house had a proper dining room but I never used it it was too big and grand in there not my taste at all.
"welcome home how was your day?" Nethaneol asked sitting at the table opposite where I was sitting.
"it was fine" I said simply I didn't want to tell him all about the demons and the two guys I had met and worry him, so I drank my tea and left for bed saying goodnight to Nethaneol as I headed up stairs. My room was the front of the house the biggest. The balcony overlooked the garden below, and from the window the moon looked so beautiful, I had always thought night time was the most beautiful time of day, so peaceful.
After taking a shower and changing I let my blonde hair out of its ribbon the black streaks falling into place around my face and let it fall to my waist, I brushed it then went to bed and fell into a deep sleep.
