UNDERWORLD WATCH

Chapter Two

Chapter Two.

Noah let the vampire drop and turned to the new voice. A tall heavily built man was smirking at him. Judging from his black eyes he was a demon. Small horns protruded from his dark hair and sharp claws were out.

A level ten demon. The baddest of them all.

There are different levels of demons. Level one to three are not that strong and can be easily taken down. They can control small flames and some wind. Level four to eight demons are much stronger. They can hypnotize humans and control most elements.

Last but not least are the level nine and ten. These are the ones we read about in horror stories. The monsters we all imagine when the word demon comes to mind. They are hard to kill as no human weapon can penetrate their skin. But everything can die.

Noah learned that the hard way. He was attacked by a level ten demon a few years back. He lost a few knives, the bullets were all gone and he was darn close to death. When the man went to deliver his last blow, he turned the demons claws against him into his own chest and held on tight with all his strength. That's how he learned how to kill them. Act fast and hold tight.

"You killed Hans and now I'm going to kill you. You should be glad you're human is okay," the demon grinned, but Noah just stared blankly at him.

"I don't remember this Hans you are speaking of, but if I killed him, he was on the wrong so, I probably would do it again if given the chance."

The demon growled angrily showing it's row of sharp teeth before lunging at Noah. He stood still preparing for what's to come.

He twisted away grabbing the demon's right hand and twisted it back to the demon's neck. The demon tried to pull back but Noah wasn't having it. Even when the demon clawed at his side making blood flow down his torso and leaving a deep cut, he still held tight. He pushed the arm to the right chopping the demon's head off. It rolled off to the side, eyes wide open and still covered in blood. Noah moved out of the way just as the rest of the body went down.

Well that was easy.

Now that his work was done he made his way out of the feeding room. He had to clean up. The demon was trying to claw his guts out, but it'll heal. He just needed some rest. He's never liked these places. He waved goodbye to the man at the door. He was a really cool human. One of the few people he could stand.

He could hear someone follow him as he walked away from the building. Ever since he became a vampire, his senses had improved tremendously. He could smell better. See clearly in the dark as if there's light and also he could hear the softest of sounds.

He trained his nose in the air to catch his followers scent. Everyone had a scent. From shifters, vampires, demons and humans.

He frowned. His stalker didn't have a scent, just like the man who had approached him earlier.

"You're starting to get on my last nerves." he said out loud.

There was a shuffle of feet before a figure emerged from the shadows. He knew immediately who it was. His large form got closer, the man from the feeding room. Noah could see more of his features as he walked closer and to the light. He had short dark hair. His features were hard and sharp, he was really handsome. He was dressed in a tight muscle shirt that showed off his muscles. Noah gulped as he continued his scrutiny. He was also wearing blue jeans and black boots. His gaze moved back to his face only to be drained in by the greenest eyes he's ever seen. They were so dark... emerald. Yeah, emerald, that's it.

"What do you want slick?"

"Like I said. I need your help."

"And I told you, I'm not the red cross. Why don't you go to the police or something?"

He started to walk away but the man grabbed his arm. "What now?"

He cleared his throat. "My niece was taken by vampires and you're the only person I could think of that can help."

Noah sighed. What had he become, the FBI. "Dude, there's a supernatural police force called the underworld watch. I could direct you to them."

"I know, but they can't help me. Only you can."

I cross my arms in front of my chest. "How do you figure?"

"Everyone knows about you. You're a really tough vampire. One that can take anything down and I just saw you kill a level ten demon. Also the vampires that took my niece have the same master as does you, so..."

"Yeah... I still don't have to help you."

"Please, you're my last resort. You're the only one who could help me. I have to save my niece, I don't even want to think about what they could be doing to her. I just hope she's alright.I mean she's only twelve. "

Noah felt his heart squeeze at that. He knew he couldn't leave this guy hanging. A kid. A group of vampires with a twelve year old kid.

" Okay. I'll help you. But first I have to make a stop." He turned walking away.

"Thank you so much."

"Yeah yeah. You coming or not?"
He called back to the guy as he approached his motorcycle. "I bet you know my name, what's yours slick?"

"Ashton. Ashton Brown."
