Before we headed out to begin our hunt we stopped to talk about tactics.
"Why don't we just go in kill the paukers?" Lux'thr said egotistically.
"Are you hulij-bpe? We'll all die!" Mai'rn said mockingly.
Lux'thr and Mai'rn started yelling back and forth calling each other every name in the book and quite honestly they were giving me a headache.
"Will you too shut the pauk up?" I yelled.
Nothing but silence met my question.
"Look what you did Mai'rn." Lux'thr said.
"Me?" she asked defiantly. "If anyone it was you!"
"There they go again." I groaned to myself.
"Let's just go." I said and began to head out.
Alec woke up with a really weird feeling. Today was probably gonna be a hard day. He got up walked into the bathroom and looked at himself. He wasn't "much" to look at. He was born a lighter shade then most. His pale skin was a frequent target for bullying growing up. His dark black hair that reached to his shoulders also made him an easier target. He had never had much muscle but at 6 foot 3 he wasn't someone you wanted to piss off. Now days he could easily overwhelm most people. His slender frame though betrayed that. He turned on the hot water and tested it only to get shocked by how cold it was. He made a mental note to call someone who could fix this. He took a cold shower, not really having a choice and went to the kitchen. Only to find that all his food had been attacked by ants. He sighed because he couldn't even make coffee. He walked out to his car. It was black but the constant rain out here had caused it to turn grayish. He put the keys in the ignition only to have it start then immediately die.
"Shit!" he said under his breath. "What am I going to do now?"
He then decided to see if Alissa could pick him up. He took out his phone pressed the number that he had installed as her quick number and waited for her to pick up.
"Hello?" she said.
"Alissa?" Alec said.
"Alec! What are you up to?" she said playfully.
"Nothing just my car is toast and I was wondering could you come pick me up?" Alec asked hopefully.
"Sure I'll be there shortly." Alissa said her ever present smile detectable over the phone.
"Thank you so much Alissa you're a life saver." Alec said smiling in glee.
He waited for about thirty minutes when he saw her red Dodge pull in. He ran over to her truck and got in.
"Thanks again Alissa." Alec said smiling.
"No problem Alec. Here I figured by your tired voice you hadn't had coffee yet so I made your favorite." Alissa said teasingly.
"Oh I owe you big time." Alec said as he took the coffee.
"Hello Alec." greeted Marie the receptionist that worked at the front counter.
"Hello Marie." I mumbled back.
"Long morning?" She asked.
"You have no idea." I moaned.
"Well luckily we don't have many appointments for you today. All we have is Mrs. Peterson's cat. She claimed it injured its front paw." She said trying to cheer me up a little. She was always so kind.
"Alright I will go see her now." I said as I headed out to the waiting area to call for her.
"Mrs. Peterson?" I called. "I can see you now."
She got up holding her cat and walked toward me.
"Right this way Mrs. Peterson." I said.
We walked into an available room and I instructed her to set her cat on the observation table.
"Mr. Wiskers injured his front paw after he fell from a tree he climbed." she told me in her elderly, shaky voice.
"Alright then. Let me take a look." I said as I began examining the cats paw.
"Well I don't feel anything broken." I said "He probably just bruised it. Take him home and make sure he gets plenty of water and rest. If the problem persists bring him back in and I will check and see if anything is different okay?" I instructed
"Of course." she said. "Thank you again."
"No problem Ana." I said.
The rest of the day was pretty relaxed. At the end of my shift Alissa offered to drive me home. As we neared my house I could have swore I saw something move in the shadows of the trees. I ignored it though, thinking my mind was playing tricks on me due to all the stress. She dropped me off in front of my house and I waved goodbye to her.
It was about 6:30 so I hopped in the shower to wash the day away. I was cooking supper when I saw another movement outside my kitchen window. I looked out the window but there was nothing. Once again I ignored it. Thinking it was due to my lack of sleep lately.
"I seriously need to sleep more." I thought to myself.
I ate while watching TV for the rest of the night. When it was 10:00 I turned off the TV and headed upstairs for bed. I settled down into bed hoping that I could get some sleep tonight.
