Elizabeth's POV

I waited for the end of my life but I realized it never came. I opened my eyes to see headlights of an old pick up truck.  "Miss are you okay?", a voice coming from the driver side of the pick up. He sounded like an older man probably in his 50's. "Y-yes I'm okay.", I was sniffling through my words. "Do you need a ride some place-?", as he was talking I was feeling light headed then I remembered the recent event I had went through. I was falling. Falling into the giant pit of nothingness.

(Time skip)


Am I dead? Is my lonely life finally at end?  I open my eyes and realize that I'm not dead but in a house? I try to sit up but realize that was a mistake. I grit my teeth in pain and let out a small whimper. "Hey look who's up sleeping beauty." It was the guy from the truck. "Ummmm... H-hi?," I really didn't know what to say to a random stranger who picked me up and took me to his house.

"The name is Bobby. I was driving down the road and saw you in the middle of the road. I honked at you but you didn't seem to move so I stopped and when I was talking to you you passed out from blood loss. What happened to ya kid?" Oh that's just fabulous! A random stranger who picked me up in the middle of the freaking road! And brought me to his house! 

 "My name is Elizabeth.... Elizabeth Rose Parker... and you won't believe me if I told you what happened...." What was I supposed to tell him,'Oh a person with black eyes and magic powers killed my family and tried to kill me too so I ran away.' "Try me kid." I sigh and try to hold back the tears as I remember every little thing that happened that will be in my nightmares probably forever. I explained to him what happened to my family and why I ran away and that I had no other family to go to.

As Bobby listened he poured two glasses of whiskey and handed me a glass. After I finished my  awful nightmare of a story I downed the liquid that soothingly burned the back of my throat. I never had whiskey before but I really needed it more than ever at this point. "Well Elizabeth what killed your family was a demon. Before you say 'You're crazy there's no such thing' I hunt monsters. All the things that go bump in the night I kill. And a demon is one of them." A Demon?! A freaking Demon?!?! What the hell has my life come too. "So since you are kinda marked by this demon you can't really get out of it's grasp now until it's dead.  If you want I'm gonna train you to kill this demon and if you want to be a hunter, but after the demon is dead you have the choice to continue being a hunter."

At this point I was willing to do anything for my Family. "But I have to warn you. This job is very dangerous. You are letting go of the rest of your life. Even though you may stop hunting your life will still be in danger hunting or not. Either way it's the end of your life." I put down the glass I was holding and thought about this life changing decision. Like I said... At this point I'll do anything for my family. Besides there's really nothing left to live for so what the hell. "I want to kill all the evil sons of bitches out there who ruin people's lives. When do we start?"
