In Mortal Love

Prologue

The buzz of traffic sang through the night as i perched on top of my fathers 18 story building. The smell of fuel and stuffy air snuck up my nose making me want to sneeze, no one ever comes up here but me, because I'm mainly the only person who actually knows about this place. Well me and one other person. A slight breeze rustled behind me making the back layer of my hair blow with the breeze, "I was beginning to think you weren't gonna show" I said a small smile playing at my mouth "Its not particularly easy getting up here Mel" "Whatever, look Adrian I have a job for you, but its of utmost secrecy, you must'nt tell anyone about it, do you understand?" I turned my head a bit but kept my back to him, his gold eyes shined in the dark as if he knew a secret i didn't then said "Of course, but depends how much the pay is Mel, you know i don't do anything without payment and I have a feeling that I'm your best man, that's why you contacted me so suddenly ,so i expect the pay to be pretty nice?"  I turned my whole body toward him and gave him alook of cold fury, burning from my core and shooting him right in the  heart "Look here Adrian, i ain't fucking with you, this is an important job and i need to know that you understand", I bellowed through gritted teeth, "And don't worry about pay, of course it'll be good", he gave me that look with his eyes again, god he's so damn attractive! Too bad he's an immortal and I'm not, "That's all you had to say lovely,of course I'm in, so who's the target?" a small shadow crossed over my face as i began to explain," Her names Destiny....."

Chapter One

"Biiiiiiiiiiiing" the ringing of a near by school bell vibrated through my skull, I clamped my hands over my ears and sighed in frustration, lifting my head off my desk as the rest of the class went out for lunch, it was gonna be a rainy day today so i didn't bother to go outside, and i knew this even without watching the weather channel. I stood up and dragged my bag behind me "Ahh Destiny, a second please", i froze at miss Thompsons soft voice and turned toward her plastering a fake smile on my face,"I see you fell asleep again", she accused as i stood there trying to think of a answer, "Oh right yeah sorry, i was up late studying...." i said looking away to avoid her pointed look then she sighed, "Okay so its obvious you don't want to be in this class, so instead I'm kicking you out. I don't care what you do instead just don't ever come back to my class again." She demanded before turning around and ignoring me. I stood there with my mouth hanging open as if it where a magnet to the floor, then she turned around and ushered me out of the room and slammed the door on my face. I couldn't do anything but stand there and wonder what the fuck just happened?

I shook my head and headed for the bathroom just as the first bell rang for classes, but i didn't give a shit, I never turned up to classes early unless it was MMA, so i looked straight ahead and made a beeline for the bathroom avoiding the touches and stares of people. As i opened the bathroom door a bunch of fake barbies were making there way out gossiping and laughing that annoying high pitched laugh all the wanna be's at high schools seemed to poses. I walked in and stood in front of the vanity not exactly staring at my face but mostly just my eyes, i had green eyes with little flecks of gold in them, i don't know what they are but I'm pretty sure they had something to do with me being able to tell the future and control other peoples emotions, although they're still pretty weak, so i haven't had to worry so much about it. Because i live in an orphanage about 10 minutes from Sky Federation High School i had no one to ask about these "abilities" so i just kept quiet.

I stood there for about 20minutes and decided i may as well just skip this period and walk around, i opened the bathroom door and snuck a peek to make sure no one was around, and sure enough the place was deserted like a grave yard at night. I straightened up and headed toward our sports field for a ciggy, as i reached into my back pocket to pull out the packet, i saw a black blur from the corner of my eye, as fast as a bullet I whipped around to see who was following me, nothing was there, i stood there listening a few minutes but heard absolute silence so i carried on walking. As i reached the field i felt like someone was following, like there eyes digging into the back of my head watching every move, every breath, every little step i took, I was so conscious that someone mightve been following me that i didn't even realize that i hit into someone till they had there giant hands digging into my shoulders, i shrieked and,jumped back getting into my fighting stance till i saw it was our caretaker, "vat do you vink you doing younglady" he said in a tough Russian accent, i quickly shoved the cigarettes back into my back pocket and smiled sweetly at him "I thought i had P.E and came out to check, but obviously not, my mistake" he gave me a suspicious look and i smiled sweetly again, looking into his eyes and repeating a mantra in my head "its alright sweetheart, its alright sweetheart, its alright sweetheart, its alright-" till he said "oh its alright sweetheart, vwhy don't you go of then, go learn something", i smiled sweetly as he waved me off, and like before i felt the eyes on me again.

The bell for end of school had rung 10minutes ago, but i always waited after school for the rest of the students to leave, i lived in an orphanage with about 4 other kids from my school and we all sat at the front gate ciggys in hand waiting for it to clear, Sam, a cute blonde blue eyed kid sat next to me, sharing my ciggy, telling me how he saw some kids fighting today and reckoned i could've beat them both, i laughed "Yeah Sammy boy, you of all people would know right", i winked at him as he playfully punched my arm. When we saw no kids from school in sight we started our walk back to the orphanage, even though we were all going to the same place we never walked together, we always walked one behind the other with at least a 2 meter space, letting each other get lost in our own thoughts. It was always like this, first id think of my mum in her better days, laughing and chasing me up the stairs as a 5 year old, id reminesce about the love she had for me and the bond we shared, then id move on to my teenage years, my mum had meet a pee junkie and they did all sorts of things, after a while she lost her mind and was no longer my mum, then her boyfriend noticed me as i grew up, every night he would sneak into my room like the Fucking pedophile he was and touch me, id cry to my mum every morning but she was too lost, she didn't even know me. So one night i grabbed a knife and stabbed it between my bedroom door and the wall so no one could come in, little did i know, men were after my mum and her boyfriend, that night they broke into our house and killed my mums boyfriend in the room right next door to mine. As for my mum well i assumed they took her too, then they came banging down my door and saw me hiding in the corner bawling my eyes out, begging to be left alone and so they did, i never saw them again. The next day i was taken into child custody and then sent to a orphanage just 10 minutes away from Sky Fed High, in the small city of Rome. And this is where I've been for 2 years now, 17 and in my second to last year in college, with some random mind powers and absolutely no family at all except lil ol Sammy boy, who was the only one at the house i trusted. Life seems to be shaping out pretty well for me.
