Demon Hunter

Chapter 20 - You've Got a Death Wish Coming

Jamie parked his sleek car super far from my residence that we had to walk all the way to my front porch. I swear by the time we arrived, the pizza had gotten extremely cold. Idiot.

There were black cars parked in my driveway however no one was in sight. It was quiet out, aside from the wind blowing.

Jamie belled the door while holding the pizza in one hand.

DING DONG!

"Now we wait for someone," he said cheerfully but then frowned, "they better not take a loooong time or I'll add disruption of time to the list of chargeeeeees---"

The pizza box slid out of Jamie's hand, landing with a thud on the floor. Pizza slices were sticking outside the box, now covered in dirt.

I smacked my hand across the back of Jamie's head. "Nice going, foolish, sweaty, unbalanced monkey. Now they're just going to send us away."

However Jamie quickly jumped into action, dumping the slices into the box, and holding it in both hands.

"Chillax River, they don't have to know." He grinned at me.

As I was about to make a snipe at him, the dude who can't even memorize my name, my attention drifted towards the door which swung wide open. The bright light from inside made my head hurt. I hate that feeling from total darkness to intense light, it really does a number on the eyes.

"Yes?" A man in black said. "You two dweebs are?"

"I'm a pizzaman and this is a pizzawoman, we're here to deliver you a free pizza," Jamie said, adjusting his mask. As he did so, the pizza box almost slipped out of his grasp but he quickly managed to avoid a collision course to the floor by grabbing onto the box as fast as he could.

Second time's the charm, I guess. I'm just glad he didn't drop it in front of this silly looking ape. I guess he's supposed to be intimidating but he fails at his job since I have zero goosebumps. The hair on the back of my neck is only slightly lifted and that's because of the wind. However, I am braver than most people.

"Fantastic, you two bimbos can enter right in." The man said, with a look of glee on his ugly face.

I walked in hesitantly with Jamie trailing far behind. There were men all over the house, some of them were sleeping on the couch, and others passed out on the floor however some were awake. One of them was smoking and then threw the cigarette right onto a picture of ME! My graduation photo! It burned a portion of the picture right off. Inside, I was hysterical, that was the only photo my cheap ass dad ordered. I'd have to call the photo company at some point to see if they still have my picture stored so I can have a copy of it.

Honestly, if these are the stunts Berry's men are pulling who knows what else they have damaged within my home? I decided to distract myself from the sheer pain of what I saw by thinking of my strict math teacher in one of my grades slapping Berry with a ruler non-stop.

We then followed him up the stairs. The pain in my leg from dealing with who I think could be the Vulture was gone but that might be because stupid giftless goonbag Gala blasted me with God knows what and then threatened my very existence by claiming I'll turn into a demon if I don't hunt one. I'll figure out how to get out of this situation later. I might need ring swallowing Gruff's help even if he's incompetent and needs to go back to school.

As we walked through the hallways, my heart began to beat a little since we were nearing my room.

The man in black opened the door and to my horror, it was Berry sitting on MY bed, going through MY things and wearing one of MY rings. He already has so many rings, why does he need one of mine?! Anger boiled inside of me as I almost marched to him, karate kicked him and strangled the living shit out of him but I felt someone yank me back.
