Liza's POV
"Hi Anna!" I smile.
"Hola mí ángel!" she writes on her notebook.
"How you doing?" I ask.
"Good!" she writes.
(Translate: Hello my angel!)
She stares at my neck for a few seconds...then she starts to write with a smirk on her face. Fuck, can you still see the hickey despite the turtleneck? The hickey is a purple color...Mr Demon wasn't holding back. Hope Mr Demon is ok, he was literally having tears run down while staring at Asher. I rarely see him cry and Asher means so much to him, I just hope that he'll be fine.
Asher had a few tears too but he was trying to fight them back, he looks gentle but also looks big. He seemed to really care about Harry and I barely said any words to him. I like the vibe he gives, it's better than mother nature. Hope Mr Demon is ok though, really do notice a change when he talks about Asher, he always lights up talking about him or his mom and it's cute sometimes.
"Tell me my child, why the turtleneck? Spill the tea." Anna writes.
"Uhm...no big...deal." I say turning flustered.
"You sure?" she writes with a smirk.
"Uhm...it's just a hickey..." I mumble while red. "Got it like an hour ago..."
"Oooo, spicy spicy~" Anna writes quickly.
Fuck that, can I just talk about how hot Har...fuck my dirty mind. Doesn't help how obsessed I am either but if I wanna live then I'll stop stealing his shirts, the hickey is proof that I'm dead if I steal another shirt but...
How about stealing his shirt more?
Sounds fun, for the sake of death I shall do it. Look, he's hot as hell ok and I can admit his teasing is something I live for. I like when he does it, both of us are inexperienced but it feels good even so. I wanna hear how he knows about what to do because he's always a step ahead of me bur maybe today I shouldn't ask.
"Thanks..." I mumble.
"Please I want it, I'm so single oh my god I just need a s/o." Anna writes.
"Hey, I mean you're really pretty so why not?" I ask. "Hella cool too."
"Like I know but I'm just such a fucking single human hydra shifter." she writes.
She does like a dramatic sigh, she's like a perfect best friend that I never had. Just really supportive but also really cool personality, kinda love it. Her personality is happy even though what she saw...two of her best colleagues or even friends almost getting killed and her barely rescuing them, she ends up not talking.
"But tell me, what happened when you got the hickey?" she questions on the notebook.
"Uhm...I was pinned against the wall?" I answer nervously.
She hands me the notebook and pen, it says "write, give me all the detail ;)", I shake my head violently, my face starts burning up remembering about what he did. She laughs at my reaction and puts it away, patting my shoulder. I start coughing violently, I take back everything, she's more evil than nature. She knows every one of my secrets, except for my past.
Ok...a nurse comes in. Anna looks at me, time to go then. The nurse's name is Hunter, she's tending to Anna. Hunter is cool, though something about Hunter looks off. Her eyes almost soulless and she's wearing a mask which she never does.
"Hello, Liza." Hunter says.
"Hi, do you want me to go outside for a little bit?" I ask.
"Yes, just a few minutes." Hunter answers.
I hug Anna and go outside for a few minutes. Before I can do that, Harry appears besides me. His face seems serious. "Weller is here...don't trust the nurse." he whispers in my ear and then silently says that to Anna after observing the nurse. The nurse doesn't look bothered at all, weird that you aren't bothered by a demon popping out of nowhere.
Harry leads me outside as we wait silently. He looks serious, what the hell happened? Hopefully is ok, I'm not good at comforting people so I hope he's alright...
"If you're wondering, I'm alright but...Weller is in the building, he's manipulated the nurse." Harry states as if he read my mind. "Not in the way you think."
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"He manipulates in a way that turns people into puppets, all he does is use a few words...he rewires their mind and puts them in an illusion and they become his puppet." Harry answers. "The scariest part is that he doesn't even use some mind control power, just a few words."
What the fuck...
"What the hell is he?" I question.
"5034 year old vampire who can read minds, I'm guessing he has really good knowledge about the nature of our minds and can control it perfectly." Harry answers. "Though it doesn't seem perfect."
"Why?" I ask.
"Because there will be signs when he has manipulated someone like with the odd behavior in the nurse." Harry answers.
Suddenly, there's a loud crash from the room Anna is in, me and Harry go inside to see what's happening. A vase is broken and Anna is trying to fight back against the nurse holding some kind of syringe. Anna is holding both of Hunter's forearms and both of them are standing out.
Harry knocks out the nurse, typical Mr Demon.
"Anna, are you alright?" I ask, she nods.
"I just got here..." I hear a voice, isn't that Asher's? "Another puppet."
"Yeah, the nurse is a victim." Harry states. "Why are you here?"
"Something feels off, guess Weller is close by." Asher answers, knocking the nurse out. "I'm not worried about him finding me anymore, this is first priority."
"Yeah, he's in the building." Harry replies, looking around.
Asher looks a bit taller than Mr Demon, he has gold eyes and brown hair. Red demon tail and horns, his hair is in a long braid and his ears are pretty pointy. Why are they so pointy? I'm jealous of those genes, he looks like an elf with those ears.
"The staff are rushing here, we should leave." Harry states.
"Leave me, I'll be fine." Anna writes on her notebook.
"You sure?" I ask, she nods.
"Hope you get better, Anna." Asher says and then me, Harry and Asher are back at the hotel.
I really question how fast these two are...considering I'm holding Mr Demon's hand and can't really move 50km/s and typically am carried by Harry when we have to be somewhere quickly.
............................................................
Asher's strength will be revealed soon, I promise
Future me: I apologize to anyone who reads this book.
