.Daughter Of Both Sides.

-First hunt II-

Shadow's pov:

I was on guard duty, the first was Hank so I could sleep then and then it was me, I didn't wake up the next, they will need strength if they want to go up against light or dark wolves and I'm used the not sleeping a lot even if I'm tired after, demons need only around four hours of sleep or less but as I'm only half I would need more but I simply can't sleep for long before the dream world kicks me out. that's why I always have light bags under my eyes.

I woke everyone up when the sun pointed its rays above the horizon, they had one week to kill a wolf each and take their fur, making a cape from it and a helmet of it head. I shivered at the thought of Cub and Pup ending like that, as decoration.

we walked deep in the forest and I jumped from branch to branch like the day before yesterday, that means they only have four days left but still no wolf found.

I landed in front of Hank, making him stop walking.

"what do you want?" he asked.

"we will not find the wolf this way, we need to put out a bait" I said and Hank thought, his hand under his chin as he hummed.

"everyone! put out a few piece of the horned galopa you have in a small pile" Hank said and we did so.

"hide up in the trees of the wolves will smell our sent then we wait" we did as tell, Hank, Garon and Tiran hid in a tree, Carison and Clamon in another and Emma and I in one together.

"what should we do?" she asked.

Emma's pov:

"what should we do?" I asked, crouching on the tree branch while Shadow sat on another.

"it's their hunt, we intervene only when needed" she said and I nodded.

"I have a bad feeling about this" I muttered to myself as my eyes scanned the canopy of the forest, I had the feeling something was watching us but dropped it as I got a strange look from Shadow

"oh did the burns I accidentally left on you heal up?" I asked.

"yeah they did, it's still a little red but it should go away soon" I smiled at that, I didn't plan to hurt her but desperate times call for desperate measures and when someone is not breathing or has pulse.... it quite a desperate time no?

we waited a long time and I started to drift away in thoughts.

were we going to search for quests by the elves? my dad and I got kicked out because he was a vampire and I because I was his daughter so I had vampire blood in me, dad had taken me to a friend of his and that how I ended up in the school and then sent on a quest search with Shadow.... dad.... mom.... I miss them, I know mom is alive and well as nothing happened to her when we got kicked out but dad? he simply vanished in the night one day, never to be seen again, stories saying a demon and demon child did that.... but Shadow wouldn't.... right?

I was having doubts now....

"Shadow?" I asked.

"yes?"

"have you ever....... helped any of your parents with what they did? the myth about you does say you are like the devil" I said.

"I was forced, each one wanting me to be more like them and less like the other, that's how I ended up on the edge a creature neither dark or light, neither from hell nor heaven" this didn't sooth my worries.

"have you ever kidnapped someone?"

"nah...... never, that's far too dark and mother would have never let me just like father would never let me go out to help people like mother wanted" I sighed in relief to know at least that it wasn't her and that the kidnapping may not have happened... just maybe.... he simply left.... not wanting anything to do with me then, jealous of the fact that I didn't burn in the sunlight like vampires do as I was more like my mom then dad.

"Emma" I got nudged by Shadow.

"wha?" she covered my mouth and pointed down, light wolves, fuck those seam harder to beat then dark wolves in my eyes.

"be prepared in case we need to intervene" she whispered and I nodded as Hank and the others jumped down with battle cries.

"I'll go on the other side, if there in any life or death situation then intervene" she said and started jumping from branch to branch, using her wings to glide and make less sound.

I watched but couldn't tell if the fairies or the wolves had the upper hand, I pulled out my bow and three arrows, arming one arrow and holding the other two better my teeth, better be prepared then not in cases like these but there was no need.

Shadow and I got off the trees as the fairies cheered but shadow had her eyebrows furred as she watched the rest of the wolves run.

Shadow's pov:

I stared at the wolves running away... they never run.... even when only one is left alive.... something isn't right....

"you need to head back" I said, slightly alarmed.

"you? what do you mean?" Emma asked.

"nothing.... I messed up while talking" I said.

it took two more days for the fairies to finish their new capes and helmet.

I was still on guard.... nothing was adding up, why did the wolves simply run off when normally they would have still fought.

when we arrived back at the village the other fairies cheered while I got up on the roof of a house and closed my eyes.

I started running in the white sand towards the place where Siera is normally but she wasn't here so I stopped, knowing who was here instead.

"you caught on quick this talk" the angel Gabriel, my mother, said with a sly smile with a slight look of evil in her eyes, her hands clapped together behind her back.

"well? what you want now?" I asked "I need to speak with Siera"

"you aren't hidden as good as you think you are daughter of both sides" I narrowed my eyes, this wasn't my mother.... her body maybe but not her mind.

"who are you?" I asked the angel frowned and sighed before smiling.

"you aren't as obvious as I thought"

"who are you!? and why do you look like my mother?!"

"this is her body, the only link between you and us in heaven..... look I can't say much but be careful child... someone wants you back in their grasp and they will not stop.... doing what it takes..... even coming back on earth"

"Lucifer" I muttered and they nodded.

"be ready because from now on, he'll be out on the hunt for you"

"are you alright Shadow?" Siera said while the angel was here no more.

"yeah but it seems father finally tracked me down" I told her frowning which she frowned back.

"that's not good at all" Siera said and I nodded.

"yeah" I said, I may want to be the perfect balance between light and dark as I learned but with the life I lived until now... I can tell I'm way more light then I should be compared to my dark side.

I sighed and looked at the villagers having a party for the bow hunters while I looked down at them from my spot, well.... mostly staring at Emma, she was playing around with the fairies and I don't know why but I felt something each time one of them hugged for a thank you or for a dance, I gasped when I noticed what this feeling was....
.
.
.
jealousy....

why am I jealous? I don't like Emma.... right?

before I had the time to think more a hellish howl made everything silent.

my mouth hung open with the villagers too....

I never wanted to see this creature again.

never wanted it close to me....

a creature from hell....

a hellhound....

a hellhound from father....
