Red eyes

chapter 2

“Open your eyes” cooed a black haired woman to a child no younger than 6, the girl slowly opened her eyes revealing glowing red orbs. The woman smiled at the child and straightened the girls long black hair.

“I feel strange” the little girl mumbled, she blinked and one eye changed to a glowing cat like green.

“It’s okay, you’ll get used to it soon” the lady and the girl where sitting on the cement ground, snow gently fell around them. The woman abruptly straightened up and looked down the alley way.

“Why did you do that to me?” questioned the young girl but before she could get a reply the lady had disappeared with a gust of wind leaving the confused child alone with a pocket watch.

The girl who currently was dressed like a boy looked at the skeleton pocket watch as she walked slowly through the London streets. She closed her eyes and listened, she could hear everything, every little thing sounded clear to her. The smell of cocaine and some other drugs met her very sensitive nose and her eyes snapped open “They’re close by” she whispered and the man behind her nodded, to the average eye he looked like any other Londoner, he wore a beige jacket and held the latest copy of the daily press which wasn’t so daily as it was more like a weekly edition which sometimes didn’t get published for months.

She could see them; they were a few blocks away. The drug scandal had been going on for weeks before she had decided to interfere. This wasn’t the work of Lau, no he was a lot smarter, and this was the work of an idiot who thought he could make it big.

They were getting closer, only a few steps to go:

One step

Two, she pulled her cap down lower so it would cover her eyes.

Three! She bumped into one of the men “oh, I’m so sorry sir” she squealed feigning surprise and embarrassment. 

“Ya, little rascal! Sorry! Sorry! How dare ye’ run into me” the man growled, he had a heavy Irish accent.

“I am deeply sorry” she grabbed the man’s arm “but, we have to dispose of you” the girls voice came out in a threatening whisper and a smirk had graced her lips. The man broke out of her grip and they ran.

   "Vincent" she yelled at man who had previously walked behind her, as they chased the three drug sellers who were currently running away from them as if Satan had wanted to prostitute them.

"Go corner them" she commanded and continued to run after them as he disappeared into the shadows.

The hat flew of the girls head and long black hair swished behind her as they ran, she had started to run at an inhuman speed and within seconds she was at the end of an alleyway where Vincent had cornered the men.

They stood facing each other for a few moments before one of the men had decided to make the first move, he threw a punch at the girl thinking she was an easy target but she had ducked with all grace possible and shot at his neck from under his arm, before he could realize, she was on top of him, her small hand over the his neck.  Snap! The man’s neck was crushed.

She could feel Vincent move behind her, he knew not to intrude unless she asked or required his help.

The man’s companion’s stood and looked down at her in horror.

“Who’s next?” Elizia asked.

One of the men attempted to kick her in the face which was big mistake as she appeared behind him and slit his throat. They didn’t entertain her “Vincent, take care of the other two” she stated bluntly as she took out a handkerchief and threw it up into the air.

She had started to walk away; she walked out of the alleyway and got into a carriage that had been waiting for them.

“Milady” Vincent appeared out of the shadows as soon as she had opened the door.

“These bindings are irritating” as part of the role she had bound her chest to make herself look more like a boy “give me your pocket knife, you know I don’t carry mine on me” with a sigh the demon reached into his boot and pulled out a silver pocket knife.

She unbuttoned her shirt and cut the layers of bandages around her breasts, once done a sigh of relief escaped her mouth, without closing the shirt she leaned back against the purple velvet seats.

“You did well today” she mumbled and the demon nodded’.

She moved towards him and draped her arms around his neck “good job” she whispered into his ear, she had somehow climbed on to his lap and rested her head on his chest.

“goodnight Vincent” within seconds her breathing slowed and she fell asleep.

He looked at the girl, his eyes glowing a vivid red; stupid girl tempting me.

 Her shirt was unbuttoned completely exposing her, the demon let out a sigh and reached down to button his masters shirt she grabbed his hand, still in a deep slumber. The proof of their contract was etched into her skin right above her heart, a beautiful black pagan circle that glowed with different colors depending on the emotions she was feeling. Carefully he pried her hand away and closed the black blouse, leaving in of open so that the contract could be completely seen.

"Oh you have many hardships waiting for you milady" he whispered quietly and kissed the contract, the girl shuddered under his lips and he smirked.

--------her dream-------

 "Stand strait" Vincent yelled, his now completely black hair was tied into a ponytail and he was wearing spectacles. 

I had two books balancing on top of my head and I we were practicing fencing, the books fell.

 "Is this really something I'll need?" I mumbled under my breath as I picked up the books, Vincent ignored my question.

 "Again" he yelled at me and I sighed.

 I got up and balanced the books on my head again.

 "This time recite what you have learned today" he walked around me and tapped my back with the stick and I fixed my posture, I started to recite what I learned as I kept practicing. 

 "Not bad" he told me and patted my head.

 "Tomorrow we'll start martial arts" Vincent walked away mumbling to himself.

----------------

 She woke up with a jolt and looked out the carriage window. That was a pointless dream a sigh escaped the girls lips and this carriage ride was taking forever. 

 "What's the schedule for tomorrow?" she asked her butler.

 "We have an audience with the queen at 10" he looked down at the girl who went back to leaning on him.

 She sighed again and closed her sky blue eyes "Wake me up tomorrow" she muttered before drifting off to sleep.
