My Red Valentine (FIRST DRAFT)

Chapter Two- I Get Abducted By a Blue Koala

So, yeah, suddenly there's this baby blue koala bear falling in between myself and Meraulr. I have no idea where it came from, and from the look on the demon's face, neither does he. Glad to know that I'm not the only one here who's confused by the situation.

"Miss Fisher! You are to come with me at once! U-uh, if you, ah, don't mind, that is..."

It talks too, apparently. Oh would you look at that, the koala is now lightly covered in salt. Wonder how that happened. 

"Is that your reaction to being talked to by everyone? You just throw salt at them?" The boy half-asked half-stated. 

"What's that? Your sodium levels are critically low? Lemme just fix that, Meralur!" I quipped, throwing more salt at him. He blinked, and it was the koala's turn to be confused. D'awwww! Lookit his confused widdle face! Anyway, the demon guy looks absolutely livid. 

"If you weren't so useful I'd snap that pretty little neck of yours..."

"D'aww, you think I'm pretty!" I said, and then he started getting further away... also I wasn't standing...and the blue koala was gone.... now there's an arm around my waist. I'm being carried like a football! I look up to see who it was that grabbed me and... oh no. He's cute. I'd ask him out if I weren't, you know, being kidnapped!

I tried to say something to him in a calm, collected manner, but what actually came out of my mouth probably sounded more like a pterodactyl trying to sing an opera with lyrics composed entirely of swear words. Hey, I was being kidnapped by a shape-shifting koala-man after talking to a snake that turned into a hot guy that's also a demon. I have an excuse.

"S-sorry about this, Miss Fisher, but he wa-wasn't going to let you go any other w-way. Selecteds are considered ver-very valuable in Hell." He told me in a soft, nervous tone. 

"What's a select- WAIT HE WAS GONNA SELL ME?! WHAT THE HECK?!" I screeched in alarm. 

"He was pro-probably just going to use you as hi-his personal Soul Harvester. Master Eldridge will ex-explain everything when we get to the Bureau." 

"Soul Harvester? Bureau? What the heck are you talking about?!"

"Ah! Here it is! Miss Fisher, you might want to hold on." Then I turned my head. We were headed straight for a wall! I screamed, bracing myself and closing my eyes tightly as we hit the wall.
