The Hunter: The Life of Louise

Chapter 7

September 20th 2004

Louise is in her room getting ready for her first day back to school after her suspension, yesterday was her first proper day that she's seen her mum, Jasper and her siblings. She loves staying at her Nana's house as it's so peaceful, but the council estates that surrounds the Brookfield area is rife with demon and gang activity, most of the gangs work for a demon or a vampire or some kind of supernatural. The last week or so after she killed Abigail, Tom and Kevin, has kept her very busy, but Vlad and Elizabeth have been very quiet, and she still doesn't have any leads on where this Draug is.

Louise's mother walks in while Louise was just putting her big hoop earrings in, Louise eyes up her mother as she not in her usual, t-shirt and leggings, but she has a pair of jeans on, a very nice purple low cut blouse and a pair of Louise's two-inch black wedge's. "Those are my shoes. Why you dressed up?" Louise asked her. "No they're not, I bought them, and you nicked them, and stop eyeing my top, you are not having it." Joy tells her with a smile.

Louise just huff's as she really likes her top. "Why are you dressed up mum?" Louise asked again. "Because I have to take you to school and have a meeting with you and the headmaster. Then I've got an interview at BDA enterprise about a job there." She tells her, this makes Louise laugh "you're joking right?" Louise asked, but her mum's not laughing but looks quite hurt by what Louise said, Louise instantly realised what she said "no mum, I meant school not the interview. What's the job?" Louise asked generally interested, "it's to be Mr's Duke's assistant, apparently hers has gone on maternity, it's just for the year." Joy tells her. "That's great news, glad it's not for Chris, because he's a right perv. You'd have to start wearing Nana's clothes as he likes to stare." Louise tells her with a chuckle. "Jasper said the same thing, speaking of clothes, you're not wearing a skirt today?" Joy asked, Louise looks down at her school pants "it's too cold, and I couldn't be arsed shaving last night, first week of school and last week of school." Louise says with a smile.

They get to school and are currently sat in the headmaster's office. "As you can see miss Johnston, Louise has a habit of putting other children in hospital. To allow Louise back in I need to know that my pupils are safe." The headmaster says. "Well the first pupil, groped my daughter when she was 13 and the girl in question asked a very horrible question after just telling Louise that her boyfriend was found dead in his car." Joy tells him. "We absolutely get that, but that doesn't give Louise the right to put other children in the hospital." The headmaster says. "I'm sorry sir, and it won't happen again, I'll come see a teacher if I need to unload my feelings instead of turning to violence." Louise says with sad eyes. "Let this be a lesson to you young lady, you are in your final year and your future could have been gone. I believe that you are destined for great things Louise. You may go to class." He says to her.

Joy and Louise stand up to leave, and they walk out. Joy gives Louise a kiss on the cheek. "Good luck with your interview mum." Louise says to her. "Thanks and Louise sweetheart. Try and not get kicked out." She says with a smile. Louise just smiles. "I'll try mum." Louise tells her and heads to class. Joy leaves the school and walks to the bus stop as there is no way she is walking to BDA enterprise in these shoes.

When she gets there she's aloud in by the big security guard on the main door and Jasper is waiting for her at the front desk with a visitor's pass. "Hay sweetheart, you look amazing and don't be nervous, Mrs Duke is lovely, you'll be fine." He says to her and gives her a loving peck on the lips. "Thanks honey, is there anything I should know about her as Chris seems a perv." Joy laughed out. "Not a lot but I assume that she's a supernatural just like Chris. Maybe she's half Angel as well." Jasper says to her. Then he takes her up in the lift to Mrs Duke's floor. Jasper doesn't leave the lift, and it goes back down.

Joy walks over to the pretty brunette sat at the desk, "hello I'm Joyce Johnston and have a meeting with Mrs Duke" Joy tells her. The girl smiles at her then picks up the phone and pressed a button. "Hello Mrs Duke, there's a Joyce Johnston here to see you, okay, yes ma'am. Right away ma'am. Mrs Duke will see you now." The girl says to Joy and puts the phone down.
