to tell me to follow some direction to that demon, vampire, werewolf, or whatever murderous creature we were going to hunt.

“Why aren’t you driving?” she asked irritated.

“Waiting for instructions.”

“Oh, we are going to town.”

“Aren’t the things we are hunting supposed to be in the woods or graves or something?”

“Yah, some of them are, but those my family can take care of them. We are hunting creatures that are practically invincible and I’m sure you’re the only one who can help me.”

“Okay,” I said not sure what she wanted me to do exactly.

When we got to town we drove to the supermarket the biggest in town and she told me to park and shut the car down. I started to get out but she pulled me back and told me to sit and wait. So I sat back and waited, then she took out a camera and started taking pictures of people.

“Are you spying on people now?” I asked suspiciously starting to question what I’d gotten myself into.

“No, the possessed looks almost normal to any person until you take pictures of their eyes, they glow in the pictures.” She explained while trying to picture people getting in and out of the supermarket.

It took quite a while almost an hour if I was correct. She took pictures and delete some after taking too many and start all over again. I got really bored but Alex was more concentrated and she wasn’t bothered at all.

But things changed, there was this time when Alex was deleting pictures that weren’t useful a guy passed by our car and I felt something he wasn’t like other people. The flow of energy in his body was different. Most people flow of energy flows constantly like constant electricity but his was all over the place, scattered. This is the ability I develop over the week after I felt electricity all over my body.

“That’s your guy.” I told Alex.

“How do you know?” she seemed doubtful.

“I just know. We must follow him.” I suggested.

“Okay, let’s go.” She agreed but still not believing in my decision.

The guy had a car, a pick-up truck and he headed the opposite direction from where we lived. I mean we lived east side of the town and he lived on the west side of the town. That was the industry street, there was a lot of factories on that side of town and someone like me from fancier oat of town I wouldn’t normally set a foot on such place, this what they call the slums.

The houses were small and were just on the side of the road in long lines. They look old and dirty and those tiny bared windows on the side of every house. To me they looked like boxes, really. They were just bigger than the usual boxes.

“Stop the car.” Alex commanded. “And wait for me.” She continued.

It’s not like I had any loans of following her anyway, I had no idea what she was going to do. The guy parked on the lower side of the road and I parked on the upper side along the long string of cars that were parked along leaving only a narrow space in the center for the cars to pass.

Alex approached his car quickly but quietly since my car was like ten feet away the guy had only time to get out of the car and just before he could lock his door with his keys Alex appeared behind him. There was a shocked look on his face my guess he saw her from the mirror or his window, but he was too slow.

Alex punched a needle in his neck, one of those hospital syringe and almost like a snap of the finger the guy passed out and fell down.

I kind of panicked for a second because I thought she just killed man. She waved at me to go to her and I figured I had to do it fast before anyone saw us and we could get in trouble. Since people around the place didn’t care what happened outside. There was light inside the curtains but nobody seemed to care to peep outside.

I drove to where she was and stopped few inches away because the man covered the tiny space that was left in the middle. I got out to help her get him inside at the back seat of the car. Then I got a closer look on him, he was about my height but broader and more mature; he had blonde hair and a beard that was just starting to grow on his face.

“He is not dead is he?” I asked nervously.

“No silly, you know a dead body won’t be of use to us.” She said with a smile.

The man seemed lighter than I expected him to be or it was my changes playing tricks with me. We carried him to the car and left him at the back by himself and without even tying him up.

“Good.” I said after a while of silence.

We got in the car and drove off, but the road was so narrow that I had to go down the street to find a place to turn and I found an intersection. So I used it to turn and go back to Alex’s house.

“What if he wakes up?” I asked more nervous.

“The dose I gave him can knock down an elephant, so he has couple hours to stay down.” She flashed more smile.

This seemed so easy to her but I hoped she did it to make me calm down. I wasn’t calming down though, first because I was sure I ran out of time for curfew and second, there was a freaking unconscious possessed person in my car, and a stranger.

Even though it was only theoretical on my mind because I wasn’t even sure if that was the guy a hundred percent, actually I was hardly fifty percent sure it was one of them. But I didn’t want to tell Alex that.

“What if a cop stops us?” I asked again.

“Are you speeding?” she asked but I didn’t understand the relevance.

“No” I answered anyway.

“Then no one will stop us. And if he does we haven’t done anything wrong, so he would let us go.”

I wanted to tell her don’t be so sure because the sheriff will never let me go. With an unconscious body in my car he was going to throw my freaking ass straight to jail no discussion.

A flash of his glare popped up in my mind and I felt chills ran all over my body. I never felt so nervous driving before in my life.

I was so nervous I felt myself sweat and my hands getting slippery in the staring wheel. I focused on the road but I wasn’t sure I could see. All I was waiting for was that familiar police car sound behind and finally my life could be completely fucked up.

“Everything is going to be fine.” Alex comforted me and squeezed my shoulder softly. If it was Ashley I would’ve calm down, but I was having a hard time trusting her at the time.

A trip across town seemed longer than I thought and I knew I was going to get in trouble one way or another. If not out here then at home for being late. When were finally on the road heading out of town I started to calm down, but I couldn’t wait to get home. Not only because of curfew but also I needed some serious nap to calm my nerves, they almost short circuited.

When we finally arrived at Alex’s house Iris was still awake and waiting for us. The man was still out cold, I guess Alex was right that was some huge dose she gave him.

“I see you’ve brought something.” Iris commented, she seemed like she was expecting a present or something.

“Yah, it’s a guy Alex knocked out in the middle of the street.” I accused.

“You are the one who told me we should follow him.”

“I don’t remember saying we should kidnap him.”

“So what did you expect we were going to do after following him, huh? Talk to him?”

“Not a bad idea rather than kidnap a person.” Words kept flowing out of my mouth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 37;

 

“That is how we do things around here.” Alex blurted out now standing right in front of my face staring me down.

“Well, you’ll excuse me if I’m not comfortable with how you do things.”

“Guys, enough.” Iris said calmly but command-fully, “help me get him inside, we have some interrogation to do and you, handsome have a home to go to.” She said, “Nice catch by the way. This is one of the kind, I can feel he’s been in here for a long time.”

Alex gave me look and we helped Iris to get the guy inside the house and down to the basement and tie him up in a chair. I know I shouldn’t have exploded on her like that, but I was frustrated and I needed to release the stress a little.

I got back upstairs and into my car Iris followed me to say goodbye and she did that flirtatious mind control thing before letting me go with a kiss on the cheek.

That mind trick was all I needed for distraction from stress of being late. Because it was already ten thirty and I wasn’t home yet. And I couldn’t even find a good excuse to use when mom asked.

I didn’t care if I was racing or not, it’s a good thing there was no many cars at night. So I raced swiftly through the quiet streets of home until I arrived. I was thankful that the police on patrol wasn’t on my neighborhood. I parked my car in the garage and rushed inside ready to apologize, but when I got inside the house was quiet.

I sighed loud and headed to my room at least I didn’t have to worry about that until tomorrow, and I could get a nice sleep. But when I got in my room few seconds later Ashley barged in.

“Hey,” she greeted and she was wearing her pajamas which means I woke her up.

“Sorry I woke you.”

“No, I was waiting for you.”

“And mom?”

“She went to sleep but I told her I’ll make sure you are back home and safe before I go to sleep.”

“Thanks.” But I couldn’t hide my frustration.

“Is everything okay?” she asked while coming to sit with me on the bed.

“I think I’m trouble Ashley.” I admitted, the inside of me didn’t want to tell her but I couldn’t hold all the stuffs anymore I needed someone to talk to.

“What do you mean?” she asked concern displaying on her features,

“It’s this girl Alex. I think she is going to get me in trouble.”

“Is she on drugs or something?” she asked cautious.

“Worse.” I said curtly.

“She is not in some terrorist organization, is she?” she asked with her eyes wide open.

“No, god no, she is not into anything like that. She is nuts one of those people who are always looking for trouble.”

“Is that so? Well I think that is exactly what you need in your life; something a little edgy. But if she gets you in trouble tell me and I’ll scratch her eyes right out their sockets.” She said but
