Hunters: The Beginning

Chapter 1: Aden

                                                                            Aden POV

        “Deni!!!!” Annalise shouted at me as she began banging on the bathroom door. “Why aren’t you ready yet? We’re gonna be late and my dad’s going to flip shit if that friggin school calls him again!”

I just rolled my eyes as I finished applying my black mascara. Uncle Damon always had a new reason to flip shit on us. If it wasn’t being late for whatever random high school we were at this week, it was that Annalise forgot to sharpen the knives or do research on whatever creature we were hunting. Or he’d get pissed at me for fighting in school or if he thought I was holding back in training, which by the way I never did. Either way, he’d just set up another of his “training courses” in the middle of nowhere and run us until we couldn’t feel our legs. 

“Fine Lise,” I groaned as I opened the motel’s bathroom door with the most sarcastic smile possible. “Are you happy now?”

“Ecstatic.” she retorted, tossing her shoulder length, raven black hair over her shoulder as she turned and walked away from me.

“Nerd.” I sang as I walked past her as she started to grab her school books and book bag off of her bed. “I’ll be in the car.” I grabbed the keys to my (okay technically our) car and headed for the door, completely abandoning my books and bag.

“Well sorry if I care about my education and don’t spend all my free time making out with random guys behind the gym.” she snapped. Annalise never really liked it when I called her a nerd. In fact, I think she actually hated it. That just made it all the more fun for me.

“It’s quite alright my little virgin best friend. But, you should try it some time, there’s only so much you can learn in a classroom.” I turned and winked at her before stepping into the hot, Arizona sunshine.

“SLUT!” she yelled after me as I reached my jet black, 1967 Chevrolet Camaro.  

I took my time and unlocked my door before I turned to answer her. “But I’m a slut with a ride to school this morning.” with that, I got inside of the car and drove off towards that God forsaken place, leaving Annalise in the dust with an extremely pissed off look on her face. Yep, today was going to be a great day.

 ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Two agonizingly long hours later I was sitting in the back of my eleventh grade advanced placement Calculus class, half dead during a test that I never even knew was scheduled. 

Really, I don’t even know why they put me in these classes. Annalise has all of the brains and crap. I’m just a really awesome guesser. Looking down at the twelve pages of math and crap in front of me just gave me the biggest migraine of my life.  

With an aggravated sigh, I just gave up, circling random answers as always. There was absolutely no way possible I’d ever have to use this crap in real life anyways. I mean, last time I checked I couldn’t kill a witch or demon by finding it’s circumference. So, why the hell did I need to learn this and be trapped in a room full of the most ignorant human beings in the universe.

Looking around the room, I saw a mixture of expressions. One guy let out a huge groan of pain as he tried to figure out problem number two. “Yeah, good luck passing,” I thought. We only had fifteen minutes left before class ends. Another chick got up out of her seat praying as she walked to hand in her finished test. “God,” I thought, shaking my head as I begun walking towards my teacher’s desk to turn in my test. “if these poor bastards only knew what was really out there. If they only knew the shit I face everyday, they’d know what a real groan of pain sounded like.” I paused for a moment and chuckled as I thought, “If they survived that is.”
