This is a story me and a girl from deviantart have been working on. We are combining our stories just to make a new one and it's really fun to write^^ so i hope you all enjoy it!!!!
ok she wrote the 1st paragraph, i wrote the second, it is devided by the dotted lines, she started it then me, then her, then me, get it? if not i'll try to explain it^_^
I wasn’t used to coming along to these things. Nolan had only told me about them before, and I was shaking slightly. My fingers felt cold and awkward against the gun in my hand. Most of them didn’t use guns. I mean, Trigger did, obviously. Hunter always relied on his fists, Nolan his staff. I wasn’t even sure I was holding the thing correctly.
And it was freezing, which didn’t help matters. I felt the thing slip a little in my grip and gasped. Nolan looked at me, concerned.
"Are you really sure you want to come, Ky?" he asked. I nodded. I had made a commitment. I wasn’t about to become a liability.
----
I sat on top of a tall building, feeling the rough cement beneath my slender fingers as I stared over the city with the many colorful lights blinding my vision of the pedestrians rushing through the streets. I winced at the bright lights and looked behind me at my partner who sat with his knees up to his face, lost inside of a mindless hand held video game.
"Kyle, I told you those things would turn your brain to mush. I swear you never listen." I sighed mentally, slapping myself over the numerous times I had told the childish boy to put away the games.
"Whatever...mother..." Kyle giggled, sweeping some of his jet black hair out of his face and giving a wink in my direction. "Edge, how long do we have to stay out here anyways?"
I felt my face pull into a frown as I fell to my back, giving up on my search. "Who knows?"
---
We began to pick up speed. I assumed it was because we had found some hint of where we were going. I moved along swiftly, as silently as I could. I tapped Nolan’s shoulder, intending to ask him about the sudden change in our pursuit. He narrowed his eyes and put a finger to his lips. The group froze. A sudden tenseness filled the air. I moved closer.
"Why did we speed up?" I breathed into his ear. "Did we find something?" He shook his head.
"We’re being followed."
----
I dragged my heavy boots along the cracked sidewalk, scraping them against the littered sidewalk. I felt Kyle's presence behind me as he trudged along absorbed in his Nintendo DS. I tried to block out all the noise surrounding me and concentrate on anything unusual that just didn't fit. The only noise that came to mind was the beeping noise of my partner's game that irritated me to no end. "Would you turn that stupid thing off!?"
---
Nolan shifted uncomfortably.
"I think they picked us up somewhere back near the last couples houses" muttered Hunter. Trigger giggled nervously, his finger playing spastically with the handle of his gun. Nolan shot him a look. I swallowed and looked toward Hunt.
"How many of them?" He concentrated, closing his eyes.
"Only two," he said. I sighed. I wasn’t looking forward to getting killed on my first mission.
---
I felt my body stiffen and I looked down an alley feeling an unwelcoming presence.
"Feel that Kyle?" I said, unmoving, almost statue like. I looked behind me at Kyle, who had put away his game and was now a statue like myself. A cold breeze ran up my spine and I jumped at the sudden rustle of shoes that caught my attention.
"Run!"
---
A sudden sound caused me to start badly. The sound of hard footfalls could be heard not too far away. My head flipped round to the source of the noise. Two teenagers were at the mouth of the alley. They seemed to be running from it, but…how could they have sensed our presence? Or maybe…something else?
As soon as I thought it, he was there. He wore street clothes. He wasn’t much to worry about, just someone who had gone one step too far and lost control, it seemed. But the presence of others complicated things. I heard Nolan’s quick intake of breath.
"Goddamn it! Now we have to save their asses as well!" His eyes flickered yellow, and the others echoed his. I tensed. This was it.
---
I felt my pace quicken as I neared a park with Kyle by my side.
"In here!" I ran in the gates and leaned against the wall, looking at the sky in a more calm state of mind. "It was some damn hunters and a demon."
"Yeah, I know. Did you sense the power of that demon!?" Kyle laughed so hard that he snorted while trying to suck into much air and letting it out too quickly. "It was a weakling! We could have killed it in a matter of seconds! Why run?"
"The hunters might have thought we were with him and I'm not getting into that mess." I said gritting my teeth.
---
The man’s eyes glowed yellow with smoldering lust. His laugh was distorted and wild. I trembled slightly and fell back against Hunt. He sighed.
"oor guy…got to be too much for him." I looked up at him.
"You’re…you’re not going…to kill him, are you?" I mumbled. Hunter shook his head.
"We’ll try not to. We can probably get the boss to look at him." The man had stopped laughing now, and had ripped up a mailbox, lifting it over his head, preparing to throw it. Nolan’s eyes widened.
"…we’ll TRY…"
---
I pointed the gun at his arm, and though I was terrified, my hand was quite steady. Praying that this would work the way Nolan had said it would, I fired. The man’s eyes widened as he threw himself out of the bullets way. Hunter lunged at him, pinning his arms to the ground. The man hissed. His eyes began to darken…
Nolan sprang into action. He whipped out his staff and brought it down right on his head. Not strong enough to kill him, only to knock him out. The man slumped, unconscious. I breathed a sigh of relief. We could go home.
---
I sighed and brushed a strand of hair out of my face. Hunter grunted as he lifted the man over his shoulder. Nolan looked around.
"Let’s get out of here, before someone sees," he said wearily. "Hey…where’d those kids go, anyway?" I shrugged, to tired to think. Trigger was sulking.
"I didn’t get to do anything this time! Man, you guys get all the fun!" he whined. I whacked him with the butt of my gun, and froze.
"What’s up?" asked Nolan, looking around.
"Did…didn’t Hunter say, there were two? A cold laugh echoed around the alley. A woman with long, dark hair leaned on a fire escape two floors above. And my heart plummeted.
---
She smirked at us, applauding mockingly.
"Wonderful, wonderful. Though didn’t expect any less from the son of the most prestigious hunter in millenniums." Nolan gritted his teeth and glared up at her.
"What do you want?" She grinned more broadly.
"Only the most prized weapon here…you." Her eyes flashed and suddenly she was right there, in front of us. Hunter and Trigger made moves to block her way, but Nolan held up his hand. They stopped grudgingly. He was the leader, and they had to listen to him. I closed my eyes and prayed Nolan had a plan.
---
Nolan gritted his teeth as the woman ran a long finger down his face. I felt myself getting hot against my will. It wasn’t a time to be thinking like that. She giggled again.
"Yes, you’re quite something, Nolan." Her eyes caught Hunter’s, who glared at her. "And you must be that hunter…the one who can track anything, no? And the trigger happy boy," she continued, her eyes flicking to Trig. She eyed me for a moment. "But this face…I am not familiar with."
"Good," I muttered. This woman was beginning to freak me out. "Can we help you with something?" Nolan groaned. What a time for me to get a backbone…
---
Her smile froze as she sized me up. Nolan looked from her to me, and I could tell he was sincerely wishing I hadn’t opened my mouth. The woman’s eyes glittered malevolently.
"My, my…what a loud mouthed little girl you are. And with no control over her powers either…" She shook her head. "Not a smart thing to do, picking fights with your superiors… " I tried to look braver then I felt, but inside I was waiting for the blow to come. This would not end well.
---
That’s when we saw the teenagers were back again. I could feel Nolan tense, and wondered what this meant for us. There were two of them; a girl, with long white hair and an obvious attraction to skimpy leather clothing. She made me cold just looking at her.
The other was a boy with spiky black hair. His style seemed similar to Skitz’s; the ripped jeans, the black t-shirt. I stared at the two the moment, and then suddenly, wondered why the hell they weren’t getting out of there as fast as humanly possible.
Were they with her?
---
The boy growled at me. He actually GROWLED at me. I was halfway torn between a panic attack and hysterical laughter. So, I chose the second. I began giggling uncontrollably. I saw the boy’s eyes widen, and he made a move towards me, but the girl threw something at him, and he stopped, glaring at me. Nolan eyed the two warily.
"What’s your business here?" he asked, looking the two up and down. "This fight has nothing to do with you. It’s dangerous."
---
I watched the girl smile. It was a hungry smile, almost animal. She scared me more then the boy did, with his…growling. Hunter, who was completely helpless while holding the man, looked at Nolan.
"Hey…there’s something not right about these guys, man," he warned. "I don’t know…" Nolan shook his head imperceptibly.
"Hunt…"
"But N-"
"You’re not in the position to question orders, Hunt!" snarled Nolan. Then he turned back to the strangers, and nodded.
---
I watched to two battle. It was breathtaking. Their speed was unnatural and graceful almost. The violet flashes of light from the demon were no match for the girl. She fell with a resounding shriek and crumpled. The girl stood over her, grinning triumphantly. Nolan stepped forward.
"Thanks for that," he said, and he could help but let the relief creep into his voice. "We’re a little…well, not at the top of our game tonight." Nolan gestured to Trig to pick up the woman. "We can handle it from here." Relieved to be splitting up from the odd duo, I followed him quickly.
---
They were starting to leave, much to Nolan’s dismay. His face was contorted in an ugly grimace.
"What the...!? What do you mean, you’ll be watching our every move!?" His eyes flashed angrily, but they were already gone. Hunter scowled.
"Hey man, I warned you about involving-"
"I know!" snapped Nolan. "But what was I supposed to do?" Hunter opened his mouth, then fell short, no words coming. I sighed.
"Let’s go home, guys…" Chapter 2 Kyle rolled over in bed feeling something warm against his hand that had a soft fleshy texture to it. He opened one eye peering up at me as I lied beside him. A smile crept across his face and his eye closed again. He groaned as he felt the same warm hand tap him on his shoulder. He didn’t move, but groaned as the hand began shoving him as he covered his head with his pillow in an attempt to drown out the quiet whispers of his name being repeated over and over.
"Kyle come on! Kyle, Kyle, Kyle!! Get up!" I roared as she shoved him so hard he toppled over onto the floor with a hard thud. "Finally! Now get up it’s time to get going!! Today Kai and Kite are coming along with us. Now get up so we can get going, we’ll get breakfast on the way."
-------
I woke up cold, as usual. Everyone else was still asleep; laying on the couch, or slumped against the wall…I ignored them and quietly got up. I glanced my reflection in the surface of an old cracked mirror. There were bags under my eyes and my hair was a mess. I sighed.
I really needed a shower. Next mission maybe we’d be stationed in a hotel…
---
Kyle and I walked in front of the two London boys as they chatted away about the girls here in America and how they looked. I tried to ignore their ranting as the two started getting physical about the whole argument. "Would you two please stop fighting?"
"Well tell this little hooligan that the girls here in America are not ugly!" Kite yelled pretending to strangle his brother.
"I just think they’re not as pretty." Kai chuckled.
"Just shut up!" I yelled. "I’m stressed about those hunters, who knows if they’re good or bad."
"Wow Edge. Chill out." Kai shrugged. "Now where the bloody hell are we heading?!"
----------
I walked into the adjacent room, pushing my hair out of my eyes. A figure moved, startled. I moved my arm up, but then realized it was only Nolan and breathed a sigh of relief. He laughed at my reaction, but it was half hearted. I moved closer.
"Guess I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t sleep…"
"Yeah…too many things to think about." I could see that. His normally clear eyes were distant, in a world of his own.
---
I turned into a bakery that was crowded with people trying to order coffee and other various goodies. I jumped in front of everyone in line as I heard complaints from behind me. "Hey Mr. Harrison! Can you get us the usual? It’s just me, Kyle, Kai, and Kite."
Mr. Harrison smiled ear to ear and nodded turning to get their usual order. A few moments later the four teens were walking out of the bakery and Kyle was the happiest of them all.
Kyle stuffed his face with hot chocolate, three cookies, and four brownies as he felt the sugar rush already taking over him. He jumped up and down as he bounced down the street by my side.
-------
"You’re worried about those kids?" I asked warily. He nodded.
"It’s just so strange…they we like no awakened demon I’ve ever come across. And now they’re watching us?!" He hit the wall angrily. "It makes no sense!" I looked at Nolan sadly.
"C’mon Nol…lets go out and get a muffin or something. Like old times?" Nolan looked at me, and smiled a lopsided smile.
"Maybe just this once."
---
"Kyle will you calm down?" I asked smiling as I took a seat outside the bakery at one of the black tables.
Kyle sat pulling up a chair sitting beside me. He stuffed the rest of his food down his throat and brought his black book bag into his lap. "Ok so you ready to plan out our game plan for the day?" He asked pulling out a notebook.
I shrugged. "No need to write it down. We can just hang around. We have cell phones incase Yuki alerts us of any changes or devils escaping. Today lets just relax and take it easy."
"Halleluiah! Thank you god! Finally I get to flirt with some girls!" Kai chuckled. "I been needing to get a date."
"What so you can eat her later? Knowing you as soon as she got in your car you would rip her to pieces and save the leftovers in the trunk of your mustang." Kite sighed.
------------
Nolan left the others a note and we left silently. I was glad Nolan decided we could go out for a while. We never got a break, especially him, and we never got a chance to hang out, just the two of us. We talked and laughed as we walked to a nearby bakery. It was just like when we were kids, walking home together again.
I pushed the door open and was greeted by the warm aroma of fresh bread. It smelled cozy and made me feel a twinge more at ease with the world. We ordered a couple pastries and some coffee and chatted happily for a few moments, when Nolan froze. His smile fell, and he glared at whatever had caught his attention outside the window.
---
"Damn, of all days why does this day have to be the one when we bump into these two again." I grimaced feeling my cheerful face fall.
"No worries Edge there is only two of them and there is four of us." Kyle chuckled as he gave Kai a high five, but Kite left Kyle hanging as he glared at him.
"Listen Kyle, I know what Edge is saying. We just moved here and we are just trying to blend in, but right now having these guys around is not helping." Kite’s deep velvet voice made the girls sway with pleasure as it made the men angry with jealously at his perfect voice. He smiled slightly. "Edge you’re the captain. What are your orders?"
"Lets just see what they do." I smiled. "As long as they don’t make a big scene I don’t care." I glared at Kyle. "No big scenes."
----
I grabbed Nolan’s shoulder as he moved angrily towards the door.
"Nolan…" I warned. "Let’s not make a scene, kay?!" He continued, trying to shrug me off. "Nolan!" I whispered tensely. "This is not the time!"
"I want a word with those two…" Nolan growled. I grabbed his arm again, and this time it took all my strength to pull the idiot back.
"Look, there’s more with them! If we need to talk, then let’s talk. Like adults. Let me handle it, you’ll just make a scene. Like always." Nolan rolled his eyes.
"Fine."
---
I stared at the two as they seemed to be arguing. "Reminds me of us." I giggled looking at Kyle. "Two people who love each other who can never agree or get along."
Kyle laughed. His face changed to a more aged and mature face as it did when he talked about their relationship. He was no longer that child trapped inside him, but a man of wisdom and the guy I had fallen for. "Maybe they need relationship advice."
"From you? I think not." Kite laughed placing his feet on the table. "At least she doesn’t have another man about to sweep her off her feet."
"Like Edge is going to choose you. You can try all you want." Kyle snickered ready for the challenge.
I sighed. "I’m not a trophy or object. I’m a person with feelings there is going to be no competition."
"Now now, I want to see where this goes." Kai smiled. "I have a hundred on Kite."
"Oh god please help me." I stared out of the corner of my eye at the two in the bakery forgetting about the boys I sat with.
-------
I sneezed. I heard a myth once that if you sneeze, it means somebody’s talking about you. Usually, I don’t believe crap like that, but the way the girl was looking at me, I had a feeling this time maybe there was some back behind that. I shook my head, smiled, and waved slightly, like two friends who had accidentally run into each other. If we were going to do this, we’d do it right.
"Oh hi!" I cried, striding over to there table. "Mind if we have a seat?" and before anyone could answer, I sat down. Nolan looked at me quizzically. I tried to communicate with my eyes that this may not be the best place to be talking about demons…I turned my attention back to the girl, who was looking at me with surprise. "Well, it’s such a surprise seeing you here! Nolan and I were just on our way to the park…care to join us?" I found myself asking, remembering the small park on the way. Nolan seemed to catch on.
"Yeah…maybe will run into each other there," he said with a shrug. "It’d be nice to have a…talk," he threw a glare at the boy from the previous night. I wasn’t sure why he was so angry towards him; because of him interfering, or because of the way he talked to me. I blushed, and tugged Nolan’s arm.
"Wellseeyoulaterbye!" I said in a rush. I was hoping to avoid another fight…
---
"Hey! We’ll see you guys there in a few I have to get someone first. If you don’t mind." I said as they turned to leave. My frown was replaced with a delicate smile. "Maybe we got off on the wrong foot. I’m Edge and this is Kyle" I said pointing to my partner who grinned ear to ear his childish side back in tack.
"I’m Kai and this is Kite." Kai said in a monotone placing a hand on his brothers shoulder as they all stood up. "We’ll see you in about ten minutes. We have to pick up someone. They will make sure there is no fighting or arguments what so ever."
-------
I smiled as I turned around again. Edge, that was her name…odd name, but no more unusual then Trigger or Skitz. And she seemed friendly enough, considering how we had all behaved last night. Even the boy, Kyle, seemed more warm in the daylight. I breathed deeply. Maybe this would be even easier then I had hoped. Nolan, however, was glowering again.
"Get someone…tch…get machine guns more like…"
"Nolan," I said reproachfully. "You don’t know that!"
"Well, you don’t know either," he muttered.
---
I smiled at the scowling boy. "Nothing like that just a guy who isn’t like anyone else. You’ll find out later or do you want me to tell you now? Even though it would spoil the surprise of who we are."
Kyle smiled. "And damn it when we pick him up he better have cooked us something! I’m hungry.."
"You just ate you pig." Kai giggled.
-------------
I wasn’t surprised she had heard us. Nolan wasn’t being particularly discreet.
"Sorry about him," I said embarrassedly, shooting him a glare. "But, well…we didn’t exactly get off to a great start yesterday, and Nolan here can be a little…well, cautious." The girl nodded, grinning, as if she knew what it was like having to be cautious like Nolan.
"Well…we’ll meet you there, then," said Nolan moodily, trudging off down the street. I threw an apologetic glance behind me and followed my paranoid friend.
---
"Lets go guys. We’ll have to convince Elk to leave the library which is a job enough." I said walking off with my group following closely behind.
Once we had arrived at Kite and Kai’s mansion we pushed the two big doors open to the library where we saw Elk sitting in the window sill with a thick book that he was already half way done with.
Elk looked up smiling shyly. "Do you guys want something?" He looked over at Kite who took a step forward.
"We have to go meet some people and we want you to come along just incase we disagree on something." Kite said helping Elk up and placing his book on the seat where he had been sitting. "Now are you coming?"
Elk smiled cheerfully. "Yeah, but I promised I would go walking with Sky later so can he tag along?"
"Sure." Kite replied.
All six of us jogged out of the house toward the park where we would be meeting to have a little chat with the ones who appeared to be hunters.
--------
"Ky…" Nolan’s voice startled me out of a reverie. "Ky, let’s get the others. I don’t like meeting without backup." I groaned.
"Oh, come on! It’s not like they’re bringing an ARMY, lighten up!" Nolan shook his head.
"Kyra, what if this goes badly? The other’s don’t even know we’re here. I’m getting Hunt and Trig." I sighed, then flashed a smile.
"Okay, get the others…on one condition." Nolan looked puzzled.
"What?"
"You have to bring Skitz too." Nolan closed his eyes.
"Ky, we’ve been over this. Skitz does not want to be here." I stuck out my lower lip in the pout I knew he couldn’t resist.
"Sorry! If you want backup, you bring me backup, got it?" Nolan gritted his teeth, then exhaled, defeated. His eyes flashed, and he was gone.
---
We entered the park searching for the other, but came up empty. "Guess they’re not here." I shrugged and sat down on a bench that was nearby under a tree. Kite sat beside me and I could feel his gaze. "What?"
"Just looking." He grinned.
"At what?"
Sky sat in between Kite and I making room by pushing us far to the side. "He’s looking at your body of course. All us men are pigs. Even him."
I snorted laughing at Sky he was like a little kid and he would say anything out loud no matter how ridiculous it was. "Whatever." I turned my attention to Elk, Kai, and Kyle who stood huddled together flipping through a book. "What’s that?"
"A book about the living dead. They are so off about the topic." Kyle giggled.
----------------
I saw them enter the park, and nervously looked around, waiting for Nolan to show up again. I waited…and waited…they sat down on the bench, seemingly not noticing me…which was good, because I was hiding behind a tree, not wanting to be noticed. Peaceful or not, I was not looking forward to facing a band of powerful teenagers alone.
I slid with my back against the tree, waiting then…I felt the familiar rustle. I broke into a grin when I opened my eyes and saw them all in front of me. Skitz looked a little shaken, but smiled broadly when he saw me.
"He only came because I told him you wanted to see him," muttered Nolan in my ear. I smiled guiltily and ran up to hug my best friend.
"Skitz, I missed you!" I cried, flinging myself unto him. He stumbled, not expecting me, then hugged me back, burying his face in my shoulder.
"I missed you too…"he said quietly. I let go and looked at him awkwardly for a minute, then turned my attention back to the meeting.
---
I glanced out of the corner of my eye at the group gathered at the gates of the park. "Guess they showed up." I laughed following Sky as he bounded up the park at a inhuman speed.
We all stood staring memorizing them.
"Hello! I’m guessing you’re the hunters? I’m Sky!" Sky smiled brightly jumping up and down. He turned his attention to Nolan. "Are you the leader?"
I stepped forward placing a hand on my friend’s shoulder. "Calm down."
Sky grinned and went to stand beside Elk who looked nervous as he twiddled his thumbs. "N-no fighting o-ok?"
----------
I stepped forward, deciding I’d probably handle this better then Nolan could.
"Well…um…hi" I started nervously. Edge grinned at me, and Hunter knocked my head playfully. I took a deep breath. "Well, I’m Kyra. Behind me are Nolan, Hunter, Trigger, and Skitz," I explained, pointing out each boy as I talked. "We’re here-" Skitz grimaced at me. "Well, MOST of us are here on a local job, just stopping a couple third stage demons. Nolan, Trig and Hunt are second stagers; and they’re not really hunters…more like…rotectors. See?" I finished lamely, not really knowing what to say. A serious looking boy with brilliant white hair stepped to the front and looked me up and down.
"So what are you, a bystander or a mascot?" he asked with obvious contempt. "I suggest you have your captain explain this, because I know for a fact I could kill you with one hand." I felt my face flush with anger. My friends on my sides tensed, and a couple of his friends seemed to think he went a little bit far too. Ignoring Nolan’s hand on my shoulder, I glared at him, furious.
"Is this because I’m a girl, you ignorant shit head?!" I spat. "I’m the one coming up here so none of us get our heads ripped off! I didn’t see you volunteer for the job, wiseass!" Trigger let out a hysterical giggle, and Nolan pulled me back where I stood, fuming.
---
Kite burst with laughter. "What a loud mouthed girl and so young too." He smirked. "Wiseass? Shithead? Are these the best words you can think of?"
"Kite don’t be like that. She’s trying to explain." I sighed. "Just chill and try not getting on peoples nerves."
Elk stepped forward in front of the group smiling innocently. "Please excuse my friend and continue. I’m here to prevent this kind of thing so just ignore him. He just hasn’t been in a good mood lately and doesn’t take well to..um..humans, mortals, whatever you would like me to call you." He grinned. "Now you were saying?"
-------
I glared for a few more seconds, then turned to the boy who apologized for his friend.
"Well…to make a long story short, they’re here for a job, I’m here to help, and he’s here," I pointed at Skitz "cause I made him come. Happy?" I breathed heavily, still rather pissed at the boy called Kite. "So what are you doing here?"
"And why do we interest you enough that you’d follow us around?" asked Hunter in a much calmer voice then I’d ever be able to muster. "Surely you have better things to do then follow a bunch of boring people like us." He flashed a grin, I immediately felt a little better. Hunt can do that to people.
---
"Well we’re um..not exactly human. We’re devils, full devils not those staging demons you see wandering around, but true devils. We aren’t evil we do the same thing you do we hunt and kill the demons who god tells us too. Of course god doesn’t talk to you guys like he does us." Elk smiled. "Oh and I’m not a devil like these guys. I’m sort of an angel. I just hang around these guys because they are my partners and friends, basically we are all family here. As for the following thing you’ll have to ask Edge." Elk turned to me. "Care to explain?"
"Well your hunters and your doing a similar job to us. We don’t want you screwing up things or making things out of balance. That’s the only reason, plus it’s fun to see how humans handle demons. Especially ones with skills like yours. You guys aren’t exactly typical mortals." I smiled. "Also it’s fun helping you guys out it gives us a chance to have fun by beating up a few demons here and there. We are supposed to be lying low, but as you can tell we haven’t done such a great job."
---
Nolan shook his head. Trigger stuck his hands in his pockets and fidgeted. Hunter looked closely at the others. Skitz just stood there, looking as about as confused as I was. It was Trigger who finally spoke the silence.
"So…you guys actually talk to God?" he asked skeptically, more serious then I’d ever heard him in my life. The boy nodded, and a pair of large wings unfurled from his back. I gasped slightly, and he grinned.
"I’m one of his messengers. So’s Rano." Trigger eyed him, then laughed bitterly.
"Nice trick," he said. "But I don’t believe in God." And he walked away, hands in his pockets. Hunter looked from Trigger to Nolan, nodded once, then followed after him. Chapter 3 Elk jumped up into the air flying higher and higher then free fell downward in front of the leaving group. "Never doubt god!" He smiled as he took off up into the air higher and higher and disappeared.
The rest of the group followed unfolding their dark bat like wings. I stood looking up and smiling. "Elk you don’t need to convince them." I muttered and started walking unfurling my own wings, but not taking off. I walked up to the group. "Nice job, I would pray that you are still alive tomorrow. You know the great flood right? From the bible? I wouldn’t be surprised if Elk commanded one of those." I giggled. "No worries I don’t think he would do that." I felt a burning sensation in my hand. My eyes went wide as my hand caught on fire. I smiled then let the fire engulf my whole body within seconds I was my normal demon self again. I rubbed my hand across my throat where the stitches were that held my head on and then I felt my horns making sure they were intact. "I’m disappointed you didn’t get to see Kai in his true form that would have made you wet your pants. Unless you’ve seen a faceless man before?" I giggled.
