Unlucky Fortune

1. You found me.

I sense him before I see him but carry on with folding the washing.

"I see you found me." I say loud enough for him to hear. I feel him walking towards me. I can tell who its just by looking at their uniform. We all get given a unique uniform that is made for us. I carry on folding the washing whilst waiting for his reply.

"We need you to come in." He replies nonchalantly. I smile and turn around flicking off his hood.

"And what do I need to come in for? Brother." I ask, emphasising on the word brother. His face remains emotionless but his eyes betray him. They are filled with sadness, anger and betrayal.

"You know why otherwise you wouldn't have let us find you." He replies. My smile widens.

"You know me so well. I had my suspicions but I want to here it directly." I tell him. He growls at me,

"They're back. Okay. They are all back." He screeches. My smile drops from my face and a frown takes it place.

"No... No. Your lying! I thought it was just some werewolves acting up." I tell him. I am sure if I had a mirror in front of my face it would look ashen.

"No Hal. They're back. The demonic werewolves and vampires." He tells me. At their name my back burns with the memories. I take a calming breath and make my face emotionless.

"Okay. Well give me the file... Depending on how bad this shit is will depend on whether I help. However send the boss. I want to make some agreements with him." I tell him. His eyes flash in irritation, but he takes out a file from his jacket.

"The boss is dead." He replies. I make sure to keep the shock of my face but it still stings. The boss was like another father to us. I look at Pete.

"Who's the new boss?"

"Will." He mumbles. That is another sting. I have tried so hard not to think about him.

"Did he ask for me?" I ask with hope lingering in it. Pete purses is lips.

"No. Sorry... Boss said we needed you before he died." He replies. My hope disappears and I feel pain and sadness wash over me. Then again it was my fault. I nod my head.

"Well then you come back tomorrow and I'll tell you my choice and what I want to get out of it. If I then don't hear you in a week I will assume that you don't want me." I tell him taking the washing and walking inside. I know he is following me but I just chose to ignore him. I walk inside and put the washing on the dining table when I feel his hand grab my elbow.

"Hal..." His voice cracks. I stand up straight, "why did you go?" He asks in a whisper.

"People change." I reply. "Now get out." I feel my eyes watering. His hands gently slides away from my elbow and then I hear the sound of my front door closing. I then fall to the floor, my sobs echoing through my small house at the memories of what happened.

When I finally get myself under control I take a deep breath and open the file. I flick through it trying to find something important. I turn a page and my hand freezes. There on the page is the person who I thought to be dead. The adopted son of the king of demonics. I was so sure that he was dead but it seems I left my mark. Half of his face is covered in scars. I take a look at the time and notice that it is now seven in the evening. Deciding I'm going to see someone I chuck my shoes on and walk out.

A knock on my door brings me out of my train of thought. I open it to see Pete standing there, but not in his uniform. I turn around and he follows me inside.

"So what is your decision?" He asks.

"I will do it. So long as once this is over, if I chose to I can leave and you give me the obliviscatur on all of this hunting stuff if I chose for it. Only at the end though." I tell him. The obliviscatur wipes some of your memories and then changes them to something else.

"You can't! Please. Hal think about this. It will mean you won't remember me." He cries letting emotion get in his way for the first time.

"I'm sorry Pete. You don't understand."

"Then help me to!"

"I-i-i can't."

"That's bullshit! You are afraid! You are afraid yet you always used to speak your god damn mind!" He screams and punches my wall creating a hole in it. I sigh.

"I'm not afraid. I just... It's complicated... Anyway who is on the team?"

"Everyone except Ellen, but don't change subject... We aren't done talking about this."

"No we aren't. However this is a convasation I'd rather have after all of this shit. Now I also want a new change in uniform. I have drawn it out for you." I say handing the piece of paper. "Boss called me two years ago and started making a similar one when I was contemplating about joining back in, but then that ended. However there is a few modifications. No more gun holders on me and no bow and arrow. Not any more." I tell him. He looks defeated but nods his head. He starts walking towards the door but then stops and turns around and wraps his arms around me. Slowly I wrap my arms back around him.

"I've missed you so much Hal. Just please please please think about taking the obliviscatur. I don't want to lose you again." He whispers into my hair. I don't reply but I just wrap my arms tighter around him. When we eventually let go he sighs and takes a deep breath before running a hand through his hair. "And Hal. I'll tell Will to not pester you. However don't push his buttons because he has had a lot of trouble these past few years. Oh and don't mention Ellen... Um she died." He says and then walks out. Ellen is dead? Boss is dead. Oh shit what happened while I was gone? I groan and head down to the basement. I then open the hidden door to the gym and walk in. Sensing someone else is in here my instincts kick in and my eyes adjust to the dark room. I see the person and jump towards them grabbing them by the back of their neck and flip the person over. They get back up almost immediately so I go for a kick to their side, but they gab my leg and pull me to the floor. I lift myself up and use my legs to help pull the person on the floor with me. They grunt as the slam into the floor. Before I can get any more moves in the person roles over on top of me and their weight keeps me down. I finally get a look at the person on top of me.

"Will?"

"Hally." He replies. My eyes water, but I ignore the urge to kiss him and get one of my legs free. I use my knee and slam it into his jewels. He roles off me groaning.

"Get out!" I scream at him.

"I would but because you said that you would help I am here to get you." He replies. I groan and lean against the wall smashing my head against it. "Don't worry I'm not happy about it either but at least we get this awkward conversation out of the way. I grimace.

"Give me three minutes then." I tell him. I then walk out and back upstairs. I head into my room and take my already packed bag out from under my bed. I then quickly change out of my lounging clothes into more suitable ones. I then walk back out and I see Will searching through my things. "It isn't there. Or in fact here." I tell him knowing he is searching for my notebook during the last demonic war.

"Right. Let's go." He sighs.
