everyone sorry this upload was late and short, someone blocked me from wattpad :( either way, enjoy and vote and comment, next chapter should be up soon :)
As I stood in line I saw more and more supernaturals get in line, this was obvious a popular place for us. I stored that little bit of information for later. As it got more crowded, I grew tenser. It felt like someone was watching me, but when I looked around I saw no one looking my way.
A black man in a suit caught my eye and when he looked my way I saw a red glint in his eyes. Shit, the feeling of paranoia came back full force, but now it was more validated. Since I had seen one suited man, I knew what to look for and I found myself being caged into the line. The men and women in suits were all around me, all of them with red glints in their eyes.
I backed out of the line and took up my phone, pretending to talk to someone on the phone as I started making my way out of there. This had to be the supernatural council. Bloody inconvenient timing. The suits started moving and before I could think about what to do next, I found myself running.
They had no problem being discreet anymore since they had been discovered and so they hollered at each other to form themselves into a trap I would be running into. They split up and several went into alleys I hadn’t seen in my hurry to get away. Shit, this was so not good. I should’ve counted how many there were of them and looked who ran into different alleys. Well fuck strategy, now only running would work. Hopefully.
The blood was pounding through my body and my legs hammering into the ground. The footsteps behind me were closing in and soon they would be upon me.
I looked over my shoulder and ran straight into a brick hard chest. Before I even could fling myself away and continue running he grabbed and held me to his body in an unmovable way.
The rest of the group gathered around me with someone gasping for their breath.
‘’ Ciale Mountainstate, you are hereby charged-‘’
I shrieked and a blast of my power unleashed itself and hit the black man speaking. He flew backwards and would’ve hit the brick wall, but his partner caught him.
‘’ let me go, you fucktards.’’ I screamed and tried to move again but it proved impossible.
‘’ knock her out Rocky, NOW!’’ a blond woman yelled at the man holding me.
‘’ you will regret this!’’ I hollered back at her, but Rocky tighten his hold on me.
‘’give me the syringe, we can question her at the headquarter.’’ Another man said, he looked me up and down and held his hand out for the syringe.
The panic and rage surging through me made me do a move I wouldn’t otherwise managed to pull off. A power move.
The one holding me got hit in the head with hardened water, meaning ice, and he dropped like a sack of rocks.
The air picked me up next and I flew upwards and landed on a rooftop. As soon as my feet touched the rooftop I was running flat out. I heard screaming and cursing from the alley I had just been held in, but I paid them no heed. I was simply running for my life.
After a while exhaustion set in and I allowed myself to sink down to the ground.
You’ve lost some of your running endurance. That was too close, darling; we can’t afford to make these mistakes. I cannot interfere in such situations because the council are all warded against me.
Lucavarious calmly said in my mind and I wanted to bash his head into the ground.
Oh really? I wouldn’t say this was a close call, merely a jogging trip for fun. I snorted to highlight the heavy sarcasm
Careful, I still hold your family in my power. I don’t tolerate insolence or rudeness from the likes of servants. In fact I won’t stand for it by anyone, now Darling get up and wash all the grime away from your face. You look horrible; also check for bugs when you enter the flat. It is warded against everyone except you so you should be safe inside there. Just be careful so you do not bring in bugs yourself.
I nodded and gave a wary response. My body was shaking and trembling, I guess it wasn’t used to use that much power at once. With great effort I managed to get to my feet, shaking like a new born calf. Cars were driving by and luckily a cab was coming as well. I hailed it down and told the driver my address.
The driver looked me over and huffed. Clearly thinking I was doing the walk of shame with all my clothes ripped and stained and my hair all over the place. I simply smiled before I fell back against the seat and closed my eyes.
The drive was way too short for me because I didn’t want to get out and walk all up to the flat. But I found some will to pay the driver and getting out of the car. With great motivation I continued up the stair, one agonizing step at the time, and finally got to the top where I pressed the key into the door before I stumbled into the flat and landed in a heap on the floor. I couldn’t muster up any strength and just laid there before drifting off to a much deserved sleep.
I woke up some hours later with stiff aching muscles and a horrible headache, as far as mornings goes, I’ve had better. Stupid Lucavarious demanding me do stuff without warning me about some of the dangers I might be facing. Granted, he had said something about a council, but that’s completely beside the point.
After showering, dressing and getting some food into me, bacon and eggs with a side dish filled with pancakes, I felt ok enough to brave the world outside of my flat. Grease and sugar had a way of motivating me like nothing else could.
My outfit did not exactly match with my hair, but it rarely did anyway since my hair was black with some red-brown highlights. So the cute dress I had on didn’t solidify my rep as a kick-ass girl. But then again I was going for cute and innocent to lure my prey into my trap.
At the usual coffee place I ordered a latte and took my usual seat by the window. Last night had been to close with the council, I couldn’t take such a risk again. I need a cloaking spell so I don’t receive unwanted attention.
