Fireflies

Chapter Two

Two Years Later

A man walked down the darkened alleys of LA. As he was walking he shook a little bit. It wasn't cold, it was the middle of summer. He was a druggie and he was on his way to see his supplier. As his feet carried him his arms twitched a bit. His fingers continued to scratch at his skin. He looked down one of the back streets to see a man leaning up against a wall. A smile tugged at his lips, it was his dealer.

He walked down the street making his way towards the man. Reaching into the pocket of his jeans he pulled out his money. He came up to the man who just looked at him. Handing the dealer the money he watched as the man counted it. A wave of relief washed over the druggie as he was passed a bag full of a white powder.

Suddenly a spotlight hit them causing them both to turn. An unmarked police car sat at the end of it. Before either could run another car pulled up effectively trapping them in the alley. The druggie threw his hands up and surrendered but the dealer pulled out a pistol.

"Put it down kid, that won't help you" a man said as two cops started walking towards them. Two cops, one from each vehicle.

"Fuck you" the man said his gun moving between both cops.

"What do we have here partner?" One asked coming to a stop.

"One druggie who's a fucking coward and another who's only acting tough cause he's got a gun" the other cop said looking around at them.

"What the fuck are you two talking about?" The dealer asked looking between them. He turned the gun to the cop on his left. Turning back to the right he pointed his gun at nothing. Lowering the gun he looked around only to find the other cop missing. Suddenly his gun was pulled away from him and he found himself looking into a pair of hollow black eyes.

"Let's see how tough you truly are" the cop said revealing rows of triangular teeth.

"What the fuck are you?" The man gasped as the cop grabbed him by his throat.

"You wouldn't be able to understand. You're just some human" the officer growled in an inhuman voice. Suddenly he threw the man back sending him flying through the air.

The dealer slammed into the opposite brick wall. He bounced to the ground and groaned as he spat blood up. He rolled over to see the second cop standing next to the cop who just threw him. His eyes were wide when he saw two long canine teeth hanging from the man's mouth. He grabbed the druggie and pulled him up to his feet. Suddenly the man attacked sinking the long fangs into his neck.

The man screamed out in pain as he felt the blood gush out. It was flowing in streams. The bright crimson liquid filled the man's mouth and he drank it. He growled as he ripped his mouth away ripping out a hunk of flesh. That in turn caused blood to splash out across the ground. He pushed the druggie to the ground and watched as blood quickly pooled around his body.

"Now, its my turn" the first officer said looking at the dealer.

The man looked on in horror as suddenly his face started to deform. It looked as if his skin was melting off his body. His arms split into two more arms giving him a total of four. His legs fell from his body and a long scorpion like tail came from his body. A pair of bat like wings came out of his back. His face had clicking mandibles as well as having three eyes. One eye was on his forehead while the other two were where his human eyes were. They were hollow and black like a shark's eyes.

"What the fuck is going on?" The dealer screamed as he pushed himself up against the wall of the building.

"As I've said before mortal, you wouldn't be able to understand" the creature growled as it dropped onto its clawed hands.

The man screamed out as the monster scurried across the ground towards him. Before he could move he found himself pinned to the ground. The creature then stabbed its tail through his chest. It exploded out sending a geyser of blood splashing across the wall. The dealer moaned before glancing back to the creature. Blood trailed from his mouth, dripping off his chin.

"What... what the fuck are you?" He gagged looking at the creature.

"A demon" it hissed before its mandibles spread revealing rows of dagger like teeth. It shot forward and ripped the man's throat out. It ate the flesh and then proceeded to consume the flesh of the man. As it was eating it stopped, shreds of flesh hung from its mouth and blood dripped from its chin. "We're not alone" the demon stated, glancing back to the vampire as he was finishing drinking the blood of the man he killed.

"Werewolves?" The fellow monster questioned looking to the demon.

"No, angels" the demon replied with a snarl as its eyes moved around looking for its natural enemy.

"Maybe these two are it?" It heard the vampire say making it look to him.

The vampire looked to the demon and nodded back down the road. It turned its head and looked to see two figures walking towards them. Its black eyes looked to see one was a man and one was a woman. The man was a foot taller than the woman. He looked more muscular having large biceps and broad shoulders. The woman seemed like she had a thin streamline body with flowing hair. Some flaps opened under its eyes and it inhaled sharply. A smile tugged at his lips as he glanced back to the vampire.

"They're human" it growled with a chuckle.

"It's our lucky night" he replied getting to his feet. "I got this."

With that the vampire started walking towards the two humans. A smile was painted across his face as he grew closer to them. He watched as the woman stopped but the man continued walking towards him. The man came to a stop just before a pole light. He stood just out of the reach of the light and so the vampire did as well.

"Ready to die tonight human?" He questioned watching as the man continued to look at him.

"Always ready to die, but tonight, I'm your angel of death" the man said in a gruff voice.

The vampire's eyebrow arched at hearing this before he busted out laughing. He glanced back to see the demon was watching them. Slowly he turned to look at the man as he slowly stepped into the light. He was wearing a pair of steel toed boots. A pair of black jeans were on his powerful looking legs. He wore an ammo vest which was loaded down with clips. On his hips were a pair of revolvers. In his right hand he gripped onto an M-4 with a silencer attached to it. On his back was a large claymore sword. Going down his arms were tattoos, there were a scythe on each of his massive forearms. The vampire knew the meaning of the tattoos, this man was a hunter.

He finally lifted his head up to look at the man's face. The man had shaggy brown hair, and piercing blue eyes. He wore a mask that had a skull with a split going across it. His eyes shot wide at seeing this, he was a Death Angel. His attention turned to see the woman come up next to him. Her hair was long and blonde and color. She wore a similar outfit except she wielded a P-90. On her hips were two forty five caliber pistols. Instead of a sword she had a bow strapped to her back. She too wore a mask with a skull on it and it was just missing the lower jaw.

"Death Angels" he shouted back to the demon.

He turned quickly preparing to rejoin the demon. However the tattooed hunter had other plans. In a flash he tossed his M-4 to his left hand and then unsheathed his sword. With just a glint in the light he swung the sword. He decapitated the vampire. Looking down he looked as the vampire fell dead at his feet. Both he and the woman looked at one another. There eyes soon focused on the demon down the alley. It looked at them before hissing loudly.

"I've killed plenty of hunters in the past you two will be no different" it roared looking at them.

Its wings flapped as it prepared to take flight. Lifting off into the air it let out a shriek as it charged the two hunters. Its clawed hands went out as it readied itself to kill them. Just then it saw a quick flash in its right eye and before it could react pain shot through its body. It crashed to the road bouncing across it, the demon slammed into a dumpster. With a growl it looked to the right to see its wing laying on the ground.

It looked back to see a third hunter with the other two. She stood there next to the others. Her clothing was like the others, all black. Her hair was in a braided ponytail going down her back. She shined in the light, her ebony skin glowing like a beacon. Her brown eyes were locked on the demon. In her hands she gripped onto a pair of curved daggers. Strapped to her back was an 870 pump shotgun.

"There's three of you?" The demon hissed looking at them.

"Actually, four" the blonde said with a shrug.

The demon gave her a confused look before suddenly a bullet ripped out of its chest. It roared in pain before falling forward injured. Glancing back it saw nothing. Just then another bullet hit it in the throat causing it to screech. Blood gushed from the wound as it tried to crawl towards the three humans. It growled before looking up at them.

"I will kill you three" it spat at them as the blonde stepped forward.

Her eyes looked at it through the holes in the mask. Reaching back she grabbed the bow. On it was a quiver of arrows. She took one out and the tip of it had a marking on it. He looked at it, the demon's eyes shot wide. She fired the arrow. It slammed into its head causing the demon to screech. Its head slammed into the ground and started to flop around. They looked on as the body started to glow before falling apart. It burned up into ashes once it fell apart fully.

"Let's go, we got school in a few hours" the man said running down the alley.

Standing on the top of a building were two figures. Both were women, and both had wings spread wide. They were fallen angels, the demon was right, there were two angels. Both sheathed blades before looking to one another. The one on the right was younger than the other. Her blue eyes were wide at seeing what had just happened.

"Now you see what humans are truly capable of" the one on the left said gaining the other's attention.

"Allison, how were they able to get like this?" The young woman questioned looking at her teacher.

"Times have changed Jade, not human nature. The methods in which they hunt the immortals has evolved" Allison said turning around.

Jade looked back down to the street before turning and jogging back to her teacher. She walked a few paces behind her. The older angel jumped off the building, her wings flapping as she took flight. Jade's wings flapped and she took off following her closely. They circled over the city, slowly making their way back to Jade's house.

The goth girl looked down at the city as they flew over it. It was beautiful, the streets glowing from the cars and street lights. Off in the distance the giant Hollywood sign glowed like a beacon. This is what she loved the most about being a fallen angel. The freedom of flight. She allowed a smile to go across her face as they started to fly down to her house. Together they landed on the roof and looked out across the city.

"Your training has been complete for almost a month now. You are a well formed protector, and now you've seen one of the most dangerous threats to us. When the day comes and you have to face them be ready. Those four are the most dangerous hunters out there" Allison explained looking at Jade who looked back at her.

"But, I only saw three" she replied, recalling the hunters they had watched.

"There was a fourth, a sniper. However that's something that you need to worry about on another day. Your first day of school is in a few hours. Its also your senior year, once its over you can fully join our ranks" Allison said smiling at the younger angel. "Also I just wanted to say, the fact that you chose to continue living the life of the mortal you were. Well that's very brave of you, the sign of someone pure of heart. See you in a few hours, I'll have your coffee ready when you get there."

With that Jade watched as Allison flapped her wings and flew off back towards the heart of the city. Jade climbed back down into her bedroom. Turning on a light on her night stand she looked at herself in a mirror. Her wings slowly folded up against her back. The tops of them just a few inches over her head. Reaching up she pulled the straps of the special vest she was wearing off.

The vest fell to the ground at her feet. She looked at herself in the mirror again. Across her body were different scars, scars she had received from training. Looking back she watched as her wings slowly melted back into her body. They formed the tattoos once more, the perfect camouflage for them. Reaching down she unhooked the weapons belt from her jeans. She looked at the various knives and daggers on it. On her vest were throwing knives that she wielded with deadly precision.

Picking her vest up she carried them over to her closet and opened it. She carefully sat both down in the closet and hid them under some clothes. Closing her the door she began to strip out of her jeans. Walking around her room she was wearing only a pair of boy shorts. She picked up a tang top and put it on. Looking to her alarm clock she saw it was four in the morning.

"It's going to be a fun day" she mumbled crawling into bed and turning the light out.

The bell rung and the class exited from Sikowitz's, all but Tori. She stood there as the other students filed past her. Once they were gone it was just her and Sikowitz left. He was leaned up against his desk looking at her. He scratched his beard and smiled a bit.

"Tori, I must say you've surpassed my expectations" he said smiling at her.

"How so?" She asked looking at him as he pushed off his desk.

"Well, you've mastered both the skin walker and lycanthrope phases. You did it in two years. It usually takes five to six years to do it. You're a true protégée" he said smiling at her as she smiled brightly. "Go get lunch, tonight we will be going to meet Alison" he said patting her back.

"Who's that?" Tori questioned, knowing she had never met this person.

"She's a fallen angel, an ally to our clan" he said before looking to see his next class walking in. "We'll talk more later, have a good day" he said smiling at her.

Tori walked out of the room and stopped at her locker. Dropping her books off she looked over to see Jade at her locker. The girl looked back at her causing her heart to jump. She quickly looked back into her locker at a mirror in the back of it. Her eyes were green in color with slit pupils. Her eyes shot wide at that, unsure of what could have caused it. Closing her eyes she focused on control like she had been taught.

Once her eyes opened she saw they were normal once more. She breathed out a sigh before making her way to the asphalt café. Walking outside she made her way to the table. There her friends sat, Jade included. Their eyes locked and she felt her stomach churn. She looked down breaking eye contact with her. A scent filled her nose, a scent she had always smelled on Jade. It was a lavender scent with that mixed with mountain air.

"Hey, ain't those the new kids?" Andre asked catching Tori's attention.

She looked to see four teens all close to their age. They sat at a table eating alone. Almost everyone seemed to avoid them. She felt bad at seeing this. "Guys, we should invite them to sit with us" Tori said looking to them.

"Yeah, why don't you do it" Jade said in her sarcastic tone.

"Okay, fine I will" Tori snipped at her. She turned her attention to the four teens. Two were African American while the other two were caucasian. Two were men and two were women. They all seemed to be talking amongst themselves. Slowly she sat at their table and all four stopped talking and looked at her. "Hi" she said with a kind smile.

The man in the middle who had shaggy brown hair looked at her. He grunted a bit before getting up and walking away. His long sleeved shirt clung to his body showing off his muscles. He just walked away towards the parking lot.

"Don't mind Cale, he... he doesn't really like people" the blonde said gaining her attention. "I'm Nikki, this is Summer and he's Drake. We're all siblings" the blonde said looking at her.

"Brothers and sisters, um..." she started looking at them, taking great care in what words she used.

"Your wondering how we are related when Cale and Nikki are white, and Drake and I are African Americans?" Summer asked looking at Tori who just nodded slightly.

"We're adopted, all four of us. Our dad is a big business man" Drake said eating a nacho chip.

"What does your mom do?" She asked looking at them.

"Our mom was killed a few years back in a car wreck" Nikki said looking down at her brother and sister. Slowly she looked back to see Cale leaned up against their car. He was watching them as he took a drag on a cigarette.

Tori watched her as she got up and walked over towards Cale. She looked to the two left who were looking at her. "Well I'm Tori Vega" she said smiling as she extended her hand to them. They both shook her hand and smiled at her kindly.

"Well we know you're the top of the social order here in this school. Most kids avoid the new students like they have some virus. Why are you here?" Drake asked looking at the Latina.

"Well, I figured I'd be nice and invite you to join us" she said with a shrug before looking to see Cale and Nikki seemed to be arguing about something.

"Yeah, we'll join you. Cale will just have to take some time to warm up to you all. He's a nice guy once you get to know him" Summer said smiling a bit.

"Why is he so distrusting of people?" Tori asked still keeping an eye on the man in question as the two siblings continued to argue.

"It's not our place to say. Eventually he'll warm up to you and when he does he'll tell you" Summer explained looking to her. "Come on, let's go to your table, Nikki will join us in a bit" the girl said with a smile as her and her brother got up and followed her to the table.

Jade walked into the tattoo parlor. She looked to see Alex and Allison talking as they looked at some old papers. They turned to look at her as she walked up to them. They smiled at her as she came up to join them.

"Jade, just in time, I'm running a deal want a new tattoo?" Alex smirked at her.

"No, the ones I've got are enough" she said smirking at him before looking to Allison. "Why did you call me here tonight?" She asked looking to her mentor.

"Well you're going to meet the City Stalkers' clan leader tonight. There one of the few clans that help us protect humans" Allison said leaning up against the table.

The bell above the door rang causing Alex to move to the front of the shop. They heard him talking and then his laughter as he came to the back. He smiled looking back to Allison and Jade. Stepping to the right the man walked through the doorway and smiled to Allison. She returned the smile and walked over to hug him.

However Jade's eyes were wide and her jaw was slack. She knew this man, knew him very well. It was Sikowitz, her acting teacher. He looked to Jade who was staring at him. His own eyes shot wide before walking over to her.

"Jade West, so your the new angel Allison has been talking about. I must say I wasn't expecting you to be an angel" he said looking at her.

"I wasn't expecting you to be a werewolf" she responded shock still painted across her face.

"Well what's going to happen next will shock you more" he said smirking a bit before stepping to her right side.

Jade looked at him before looking to see the back of a woman. She was roughly her age with brown colored hair. She was talking with Allison who was smiling at her. Slowly the girl turned to face her and instantly froze. Their eyes were locked as they looked at one another.

"Jade?" The girl gasped looking at her.

"Tori?" She responded looking at the second werewolf.
