A lovely mess

Chapter 11: Old flames

"Wheres Sequoyah?" I whispered.

"Same as him." James answered.

I pushed passed him and ran into her large cabin. My eyes scanned the first room I entered. I stopped and listened to see if I could hear her heart beat. Nothing. I ran upstairs and pulled the first door I saw off of its hinges. The white walls were stained with blood and vomit. Gaisshens don't have bodily fluids. I sniffed the air. It's not Sequoyahs. The blood was hers though. The wooden floorboards creaked as I dragged myself into the room. Sequoyahs body was laying on the king-sized bed that was pushed over into the corner. Immediately, I rushed to her side and my eyes started watering. I placed my hands firmly over her cheeks and pushed all of my energy into her body. A violent shock wave sprang from my fingertips into her body. I saw her eyes begin to open and then suddenly the shock wave bounced back and threw all of the energy at me at once.

"Shit." I mumbled.

"Shit is very right." James mocked, six tall guys walked out from behind him all from the Stygael Clan all wearing black suits grinning.

"What is this?" I scoffed. "The Gaisshen Mafia?"

"Something like that." James started. "You see, Mr.Lipton was my son, I was going to protect him, hide him away, I could give two shits about curing the infected. I am the leader of the Niretium Clan, I mated with a lousy human and out came Mr.Lipton. Nobody could know my involvement otherwise my reputation would crumble. Now you just killed my son and I just killed your best friend. I should kill you as well but instead I'm gonna make a little deal with you. You're a hybrid-"

"What the fuck are you getting at?" I yelled.

He put a hand up and continued. "I want you to work for me."

"Why the bloody hell would I do anything for you." I screamed.

"Because if you agree to come off with me and do what I tell you to, I'll bring your little friend back and she can live a happy peaceful life." He finished.

"How?" I yelled.

He pulled a knife out and cut his arm open and rushed to Sequoyahs side.

"You son of a bitch." I yelled. "You can cure our people." I yelled louder.

He glanced at me and fed Sequoyah his blood. Sequoyahs color returned to her body and her heart started again.

"Now come. We don't have much ti-"

"You infected her didn't you?" I stammered. "So I'd work for you? You'r-"

He put a hand up and smiled. "No. I used it to my advantage, and if you don't come work for me, I'll infect her again. Now lets go. You've got work to do." He grinned.

I stomped past him and ran down the stairs and through the door, Jaison was out cold laying on the ground by a black silverado. I shook my head, climbed in the bed of the truck, and waited, tears streaming down my face.

'It gets tiring, having no humanity and no room for care. It's not lonely or bitter, just exhausting. Theres been too many times where I didn't want to kill the guy or steal from him or hurt him but I can find the strength to just run away and act as if none of this ever happened. I do what I have to nothing more nothing less. Not sure if that makes me a martyr or if it makes me smart. One thing for sure is-'

Just then Kenzi walked in forcing me to shove my journal beneath me.

"Hey boss." She winked. I studied her face

Kenzi was smoking. Main reason I hired her is because not only is she bad ass but she's something pretty to look at. She had long black hair and a pale face decorated with a beauty mark above her top lip. Her blue eyes were the color of the ocean and her creamy skin stretched around her without a wrinkle despite her being 400 years old. She had amazing curves.

"Hey yourself." I smiled. "Did you get the guy."

"Had some trouble. You're gonna have to handle this one. He's pretty damn strong." She slowly said.

"What'd he do again?" I questioned.

"He killed James wife, and since she's worth millions of dollars whoever kills him gets the Ginstal, THE Ginstal." She emphasized. "The one that literally controls the population. Since money is pretty worthless to Gaisshen."

"Who the fuck would want the Ginstal." I laughed.

"Well I'd sure as hell would be eager to control the amount of enemies in the Gaisshen Community." Kenzi pointed out.

"If I do this do I get to go run away to see sequoyah." I groaned.

"If it means I get to go with you. We haven't seen her in 41 years now." Kenzi groaned along with me.

I smiled and grabbed my leather jacket. "I'll go get you that Ginstal." I winked. She smiled and went for the fridge as I headed out.

*********************************************************

I Jumped off my motorcycle and ran into the motel Kenzi sent me the picture of. It was old and run down. It seemed like the only guests were cockroaches. I approached room 12 and double checked the picture. I knocked on the door quickly.

"Who is it." A voiced hissed from inside.

"Room cleaning." I chimed, chuckling to myself.

"Come back later." The man growled.

I kicked the door open. "Afraid I can't." I smiled. My smile slowly faded as I saw what stood before me.

"How the hell." I yelled. It was Macy, pointing a pistol to the back of this guys head. I sniffed the air but caught nothing. Her eyes widened. I walked in and slammed the door shut. "Not to be a bitch but shouldn't you be in a fucking Nursing home." I screamed. She lowered her eyes and stayed silent. "What? Can't talk to me now." I yelled again.

"You shouldn't be here." She finally answered.

"No YOU shouldn't be here." I shot back. "How the fu-" I started before she cut me off.

"I'm a demon." She sighed. She closed her eyes and opened them to reveal them pure black.

I stepped back with my jaw clenched. I pulled out my knife and attempted to slit the guys throat. He pushed me up against the wall and Macy fired and missed. I pushed him away and jumped on him clawing at his neck. Macy put a hand up and sent him flying across the room paralyzed. I shot her a look and finished the job. I pulled at the hair on his head and yanked it from his shoulders before putting it in a walmart bag. I sighed and walked out.

"Wait Jer." I heard from behind me. I kept walking. "That's not fair wait." I whipped around and put a blade to her neck.

"Don't talk to me again you worthless low life lying slut." I growled.

She studied my face and tucked a wadded up piece of paper into my pocket. "I hope you'll get over your fit." She snapped.
