The Fight: Demons On NeverAgain

Chapter 2: The Neighbor's Family

NYKKI'S POV

I awoke at noon and took my raccoon out side to use the restroom. "Rings!" I call for him as he scampers off into the neighbor's yard to dig in her trash. "I'm so sorry Mrs. Jefferson. I'll clean up after Rings," I tell the neighbor after I catch my little rascal.

"Ok, just have it done by 2. I have family coming from out of town coming to visit," she replied with a calm demeanor since this isn't the first time Rings has trashed her yard. I began to pick up all the garbage and finished at 1:45pm. 

I knocked on Mrs. Jefferson's door to tell her the rubbish had been removed from her yard. "Come in!" she hollers from the other room.

"I picked up all the trash that Rings got out," I state in a clear but strong voice.

"Thanks, Nykki. Now I don't have to be embarrassed in front of my family," She spoke with glee.

"I'll go now. I have yet to eat still because of that silly raccoon," I reply with a smile.

"Dear, Why don't you get washed up and change and come over to eat? There will be plenty of room," Mrs. Jefferson told me with a quint smile.

"Ok, I'll be right back. I have to leave Rings some food to eat and shower since I don't smell the best," I state slightly blushing.

"You can bring Rings if you want. I'm sure my family will want to see the little guy that ruins my yard at least once a month," she laughed. I began to laugh with her seeing as it was true. I jogged back to my house in a hurry seeing as I only had twenty-five minutes left to get ready. I quickly found a pair of black plaid skinny jeans and a black Asking Alexandria tank top with a clean pair of undergarments. I took a quick shower and didn't take time to enjoy the warm water like i would normally do. Rushing, I style my hair using a comb to bump my blonde hair up in the back and adding curls to the hair to the side of my face. I quickly slide on the shirt and skinny jeans and decide to wear a pair of black and pink Phat Babys. I then proceeded to apply my make up, which consisted of grey/silver eyeshadow, black eyeliner, and mascara. Soon, I walk out my door and to Mrs. Jefferson's home after grabbing my keys and locking the door behind me with Rings on my shoulder.

DAMON'S POV

"Hey Aunt Mary," I say as I walk through the door of my Aunt's home.

"Hello Damon. Can you help me set the table please? We are having a guest tonight, she is my neighbor the one with the raccoon I was telling you about," She told me as I gave her a hug.

"You mean the one with the raccoon that pillages your trash, throwing it everywhere? Aunt Mary I thought you were going to move after Uncle Erik died," I responded.

"Yes, her and she cleans up after Rings too. I can't stand to leave this house you know that. I told you I wasn't going to move. I have no idea where you got the notion I was going to move after your uncle died," She curtly stated with her eyebrows raised. "Ding," screamed the door bell before I could say a word. "I'll get it," my aunt replies immediately. "Nykki, glad that you are here. I want you to meet my nephew, Damon," I heard her say while walking back to the dining room. As my aunt entered with what I can only describe as a heavy metal loving angel wearing an Asking Alexandria tank top that fitted her small frame well along with her tight skinny jeans that were made for her. The girl's blonde hair was waist length with pink highlights shone in the light. I pondered what she was doing here then I remember the girl my aunt said was coming over.

"This is Nykki?" I questioned my aunt with a incredible look on my face as I stared at the beautiful girl that stands in front of me blushing.

"Yes, this is Nykki and her pet raccoon, Rings," my aunt spoke with a smirk on her face knowing that I now had the hots for her neighbor.

"Hi, I'm Nykki Hope," the girl spoke as a creature poked it's head from her hair as it seemed to investigate me," and this is Rings."

"The same raccoon that explores my aunts garbage bins and skews it across her yard?" I haughtily asked the girl.

Nykki blushed and replied, "Yeah, Rings seems to like your aunts garbage. The little rascal has me cleaning left and right. I take it you're Damon"

"Yes ma'am," I whistled at her. 

NYKKI'S POV

"Nykki, glad that you are here. I want you to meet my nephew, Damon," Mrs. Jefferson greeted me as I walked in the door. She takes me to her dining room where a devilishly handsome man stands there in ripped up skinny jeans, an As I Lay Dying t-shirt in grey and, black South Pole shoes. His hair is long for a guy reaching under his crystal blue eyes like a black curtain. 

Next I hear him say, "This is Nykki?" as if he was questioning himself in disbelief. Did he think I was an ogre or something? What did Mrs. Jefferson tell him about me?

All I could dare to get out of my throat was, "Hi, I'm Nykki Hope and this is Rings." Talk about short and uninteresting. I bet he thinks I'm a loser. I mean, who can like a five foot blonde with a attitude who loves to rock out? I can't really trust anyone because of Fiona and Callie.

The god-like guy asked,"The same raccoon that explores my aunts garbage bins and skews it across her yard?"  All I could do is be embarrassed.

 "Yeah, Rings seems to like your aunts garbage. The little rascal has me cleaning left and right. I take it you're Damon," I stated with a gleam in my eye.

"Yes ma'am," he whistled at me only to provoking a rosey red blush from my cheeks.

"Why don't we go and get to eating you two. Before you both go drooling on my freshly mopped floor," I hear Mrs. Jefferson say in a voice with attitude. Maybe he like what he sees after all.
