NightCall: The Series

Strangers

Feelings. They come on strong. Doesn't matter if you think you feel things for something, but a stronger feeling will always overpower. Feelings of regret, feelings on dread, feelings of hurting. The sound of silence, filling the streets. All left is the sound of a sports car starting. A bland black hellcat revving as it pulls away from the club and races down the streets. Sunny's name sliding across her phone as she quickly called him, groaning as she knew he would possibly be the only other source to know what was going on.

"Don't pick up... Don't... Please don't, pick up...."

"Anthony's phone-"
The sound of a male picked up, kind of sounding like sunny.

"Uh, yeah... Is sunny around?"

The voice went quiet and Melanie groaned for a second, quickly hanging up and dashing down the road as she gripped the steering wheel.

"Why the fuck did I ca-"

Just before she could finish, a call popped on her phone, she groaned and answered with a gravel in her voice.

"What?"

"Oh, Mel... You called?"
Sunny spoke softly, sounding like a whisper.

"I- yeah... Um, I need a favor-"
Melanie grumbled a bit and dug her nails in the steering wheel.

"Wh- me? Well I mean, I guess I can... Wait, why? What the fuck do you know? Is this a trick?"
His voice was still whispering but he became stern.

"Wh- no! I just, ugh. Never mind-"

She almost hung up, but sunny cut in.
"No! Wait! I'll help! Sorry I've been, being watched. Why, didn't you go to serina?"

"See, that's the thing. I uh, I haven't talked to her in a month or two-"
She bit her lip a bit, turning a corner after the light turned green, the silence hitting her ears for a few seconds until sunny spoke up.

"I know... She asked me to try and stalk you-"
Sunny cleared his throat a bit, getting into his car and turning it on.
"Where do you want me to meet you?"

Melanie huffed a heavy breath and then sighed.
"Um, I'll send you the address-"

"Alright, see you there-"
After that, the phone hung up and Melanie raced to the spot.

--------------------------------------------

After thirty minutes of driving, Melanie stood in a small alley, looking around with her arms crossed as she was waiting for sunny.  Footsteps being heard from the people walking by the alley until one pair started getting closer, Melanie turning to face him.

"Alright, I'm here... What do you need?"
Sunny stopped a few feet away trying to stay cautious.
"Also, why me? I'm an asshole, remember? I tried to drug you, fucked with serina..."

"Because I know you'd take me seriously if you weren't around your friends, so please. Dean told me there's a scroll, some sort of thing for like, demons and angels, and I need to get it because it's about me apparently. No one knows about it, and I need to get it-"
She looked at him with seriousness in her face. But sunny just snorted and laughed.

"Right, that's funny! Good prank, but not that good-"

Melanie growled at him and scoffed.
"I'm serious!"

"Yeah right!"
Sunny wiped a tear from his eye and rolled his eyes after, getting closer to her.
"You just wanted me here to yourself and used an excuse so we could fuck huh? Alright, let's go then-"

She groaned and pulled out a knife, pointing it towards him.
"Fuck off sunny, I told you I need your help. I don't want to fuck you, understand?"

Sunny backed up, his hands raising like he was getting arrested.
"Okay, fine! I'll, play along!"

She huffed and put the knife away, walking up to the door.
"I need you to pick this lock-"

Sunny looked at her, then to the door, then at her again with furrowed brows.
"This is what you needed me for-"
He snickered and pulled out a small tool out from the front of his coat.

"Waisting my time Taylor's, but I gotchu."
He quickly worked at the lock, popping it open and holding the door for her, she stepped in and he followed behind with a growl.

"Damn Mel-Bell. You're ten times hotter now, breaking and entering looks sexy on you-"
Sunny went to grab her hand but she smacked his arm.

"Focus fuck face! Come on-"
She grumbled and continued looking around, pulling out her phone to read the text.

"Jeez, sorry. It was just a compliment. Can't you take those? Or do you not know what those are-"
He huffed, folding his arms and looked around with her.

"J4X10, that's the scroll... So it should be in the J's..."
Melanie quickened her steps then looked up at the letters on each of the cabinets.

"What's so special about a scroll anyways. Devil's, gods, demons... They're not real you know-"
Sunny scoffed and shook his head.
"Can't believe you actually believe that bullshit-"

"Shut up okay? Just, keep walking, please look for i-"

She stopped in front of a podium that had J4X on it, looking at the writing and furrowed her brows.
"Melody, Morgan, Mavis... These are all M names but-"

Melanie then opened the small drawer, seeing a few scrolls and looked at them.
"They're all J4X10's..."

"So, that means they're all yours... That's gonna be some heavy reading-"
Sunny grumbled a bit.

"Yep, and you're going to help!"
She started grabbing them all and stuffing them in her bag.

"What?! I didn't sign up for schoolwork! I dropped out of school just to not have to go anymore!"
Sunny groaned but got quiet when he heard a loud bang. Melanie quickly shutting the drawer and grabbed Sunny's hand, dragging him to the end of the cabinets, a small light flashing down each of the isles.

Sunny chuckled and hid with her, whispering to her.
"So, is this our first date then? Breaking into a forbidden area, stealing scrolls, and hiding from what possibly could be officers."

She kicked his foot and he grunted, but covered his mouth, listening in to them as they started talking.

"things will get better in hell, just you wait... I heard axle was going to try and overthrow Lucifer, possibly Crowley as well."

"No way, what's going to happen to them? Also, I'm sure he couldn't, no one can beat Lucifer-"

"That's not what I heard, he was going to use Reese as bait, rile him up and put him in beast form. Him and hale are talking about putting him in the cage-"

After a few seconds, sunny took her hand and slipped down the Isle, quickly moving to the door and zipped out, running down the alley way towards the open space.
"What the hell were they talking about?!"

"I-i don't know... But it doesn't sound good-"
Mel looked back, puzzled a bit. Now she was worried, what's going to happen. What were Axles plans, and was Serina going to be okay-
