Not Your Average Demon Hunters

Chapter 2

What would it really take for me to become a better person? Would it be okay to wish that I might wish to end my life from being immortal for as long as I have? Would it be considered satire? How would it be satire though? When I may or may not want to end the life I dreaded for the longest time, and yet, here I am still alive and not buried in a six foot grave. I never really told anyone how much I had wished to not roam the earth, living passed almost everyone I had ever known in my life. I really regret living my life the way I once did, and trying to better myself all these years. However, I'd like to think I did very well at controlling the urge to end it all. Well if I ended it all now, you wouldn't have a story now would you? Furthermore, I am still figuring my life out for now until maybe that one special day comes along and I can finally be at peace.

 Being drunk did not come easy because I never seemed to get drunk on anything, how pitiful. However, Daniel seemed to be slightly buzzed due to the excess amount of alcohol I have witnessed him consuming. I soon watched him pick up his glass that he had just ordered less than three minutes ago, taking a big swig of it and swallowing, then he began to chug the rest. "Woah, woah...I think that is enough for you tonight." I said quickly as I grabbed the glass away from him, causing a little bit of the alcohol to spill on him and on the floor.

"HEY!" He protested. "I was drinking...that, now give it ba-back." He said in a slurred voice as he reached his hands out for it. I of course shook my head and held it away from him, he seemed to have drank his feelings. I sympathize with him however, because I know that he really wanted to win again. He always looked forward to it. But when others strive to also win, it was definitely a competition.

"I said that it is enough, I bet you can't stand up straight and walk in a straight line." I told him as I turned my head and decided to drink the rest of Daniel's drink for him, however I couldn't blame Daniel for what he was doing tonight. It seemed like I had been doing the same thing, drinking my feelings as well. 

"Yes I can...That was mine!" He said, a pouting sound rang through his voice as he said this of course and moved closer, grabbing at my arm and pulling it to him and then grabbing the glass that was now empty. He pulled it to himself and hugged it to him. "I wasn't done drinking that...how could you?" He said as he looked like he was about ready to cry from the loss of drink. I looked at him in disbelief but also trying my best to hold in a laugh that dared to escape at any moment.

"Well my dear friend, you don't seem buzzed, you seem to be drunk out of your mind, I should have limited you to only so many drinks. Especially if you were going to act like this due to some unfitting circumstances." I replied as I looked at the state of him. He was definitely out of it and drinking because we didn't keep our title, as he wasn't too happy earlier when we didn't get first place. But it wasn't like it was the end of the world, in fact it just meant that they would have to work even harder to become title holders again. And to do that, we would need to train harder and maybe push ourselves further than we used to do. If I had thought that this losing would lead to the end of the world hypothetically speaking, then I wouldn't tell Daniel that things could turn around for the better.

 "You know if we hadn't halted and come here then we would have been able to score some more. And we could have placed 1st, I wouldn't deal like total crap. But nope, we had to stop everything...what a waste." Daniel started saying as his expression soured and grabbed a drink from a waitress who had been walking around and downed it quickly. No caring the flavor of the drink. However I didn't think that he really tasted it to being with, not that I wouldn't have done the same thing. I had really wished that I was as drunk as the other had been, but clearly I wasn't and I was starting to become tired of the way he was complaining. 

Soon I snapped however and just shot a look over to him. "You know I don't understand you right now. Why are you so damn upset that we lost to two other hunters for this year? You never get this disappointed in something and I would really like to know why." A frown formed on my lips and all the while not finding any of this a big deal. I watched a shadow cross over his face after I had spoken to him causing a small chill to wash over me. It was as though the demon part of him was forcing its way through his drunken state. But after a minute or two, Daniel looked away and released a small sigh, looking away from me and leaning back in his seat.
