Satan's Duplicity

:Chapter 7:

:Isabella:

I was driving back to the dorms my engine purring while I made my way through the busy New York streets. The con to this place was the assholes that drive. Dalton had an easier time getting back for some reason.

Places like here I had a fear of a motorcycle accident. 'Don't worry I wouldn't let that happen. I'd find a way to stop it.' I smiled at that as I rounded a corner my motorcycle still purring from the engine. My helmet was on my head. I had a skull cap.

Not the glass one right now. I had both. Glass ones that cover the face can kill you in an accident. You don't try to cover your face and when it shatters it could pierce your eyes or throat. My helmet had sayings on it mostly Harley Quinn or some hunter phrases.

On the back I had a Jack Skeleton one. Soon the Greenwich Hall pulled into view and I went into the parking lot. Dalton's car was parked and he was no doubt already inside as I pulled in next to my Mustang and then pulled the bike to a stop.

Soon the garages here would be open and I'd put the bike up along with my car. 'This place is quite nice.' I nodded as I got off and shoulder my bag of art supplies for studio art class before taking off my helmet and walking up and into the dorm.

Angel and Nico were walking to the stairs. Guess the two were having time together while Nico got out of his first class. I took the elevator up to my hall before walking down the hall. The hall was quiet which was better than living in a frat house where there would be nothing but partying.

Partying was alright but I did want to pass in college. 'Study, work, study some more, food break then study.' 'That's not all I'll have to do jobs for The Organization in between that. I still am a hunter.' 'Any jobs yet.' 'Actually there are some forsaken sightings.'

Forsaken were vampires gone crazy. It was a must for them to be dispatched unlike rogues. If rogues stayed under the law and didn't kill The Organization ignored them. Only if they weren't a threat to werewolves and the unknown with the human minds. Forsaken were always threats and it was required for them to be dispatched.

But forsaken were not for new hunters. They were nasty creatures who wouldn't hesitate to sink their fangs into you. If they did you could simply hope the venom from their once vampire fangs didn't follow with the bite that came with or you'd end up as a forsaken.

Forsaken fangs turned jagged unlike vampires who had straight fangs almost elegant like. 'Did you know succubus and incubus have sharp canines.' 'You just noticed after French kissing with Lilith so much?' 'I thought it was just a Lilith thing since she was the first of her kind.'

I rolled my eyes as I stopped at my dorm door and got out the keys to unlock the door. Weirdly the door was unlocked. Instinct kicked in and my hand went to the my pistol which was hidden by my pistol. I had a concealed weapon permit too which helped a lot. 

If I could conceal it I could carry it. Minus brass knuckles as those were illegal. Or brass knuckles attached to a knife. But I cocked the pistol back and took the safety off before slipping into the dorm room. Everything seemed fine the living room was nice.

I followed myself into the room having calmed down now. Nothing seemed too bad and I hadn't found a dead body. I put my gun away just as I opened the door. I regretted putting my gun away when I opened the door at the sight of what was inside.

Derik was on the bed passed out with a numerous slashes across his head and down his body. He was breathing but it was slow. Maryse was thrashing around with a thick chain wrapped around her neck. She was hanging herself as the chain was attached to the ceiling.

I rushed over and ripped the chain off of Maryse who dropped and began to cough violently. "Maryse baby go get one of the weres or anyone just be careful." I told her and Maryse ran off and out of the room her no longer on her as I ripped that off along with it.

Looks like I'd be fixing her spiked collar. 'Can hellhounds be choked to death?' 'Hellhounds can't be killed on earth. Demons have to be killed where they were made. But Maryse would've taken longer to heal and gave her killer a chance to kill her in the spot where she was created.'

That thought pissed me off. I was tempted to follow after Maryse but I had to make sure Derik wasn't going to die. Setting my pistol down on the bed I went over to Derik and checked his pulse. Slow but still there. Good thing he was a healing werewolf.

His cuts were trying to heal but one oozed silver. Fuck. "This is gonna hurt." I said before digging my hands into the wound. Derik shot up and screamed his eyes turning bright gold as I dug at the foreign object inside of him. Derik grabbed my arm and snarled at me.

My eyes burned blue as Aki looked ready to tear me apart. His claws were embedded in my arm as I tried hard to get the object out but it was centimeters away. "Fucking christ." I said pulling my fingers out. Aki thrust his claws in before coming out with a small tip made of silver.

'A silver claw. It looks to be like that.' I nodded. Aki's hand burned as he dropped the claw in my hand as his wound began to smoke as the silver was out. "You should clean that." I said getting up.

"I'll be back." Aki said before limping off to the bathroom holding his stomach which had wounds. Maryse came back in followed by Rodney of all his brothers. We did have the same hall. "Is everything ok?" Rodney asked glancing down at Maryse who came over and laid on my bed and put her head in my lap.

"Something attacked Derik and Maryse. Derik's in the bathroom." I told Rodney. "I'll go check on him." Rodney said. 'You should warn him Aki is out.' "Aki is out so be careful." I told him. "I'll be fine. You stay with Maryse." Rodney said before going into the bathroom.

Maryse was whining just a little so I patted her head before laying down next to her and beginning to pet her body. Maryse calmed down after that. 'You want me to see if Ferrell and Magenta or one of them will patrol around to see if they can catch anyone suspicious.' 

'Only if they want to go of course.' Satan nodded before cutting our connection just as Derik came out now in control. His shirt was bloody. Derik limped over. "Do you remember anything?" I asked. "Not much." Derik said as he sat down next to me as I propped myself up.

"But the face looked somewhat familiar. Not extremely familiar but like I knew them but not well." Derik said. "Anyone here?" I asked. "No I remember all the weres here. The presence was just out of control. It felt like two presences but only one person." Derik said.

"Can you describe the presence?" I asked. "Sorta like a werewolf but with more wicked intentions then any rogue I've ever encountered. Then something demon like." Derik said as Rodney stood in the background. "A hybrid." I whispered. "Possibly." Derik said as he moved his dark red hair from his face.

"You should go get some rest in your dorm." I told him. "Yeah thanks for trying to get the silver piece out of me." Derik said. I nodded. Derik gave me a half hug before getting up. Rodney helped him out and I mouthed thank you to Rodney who nodded.

"A hybrid." I said. Maryse looked up. "A fucking hybrid followed me to NYC. To a college." I said as I put my gun in it's casing with the weapons I brought. Maryse watched me her red eyes full of curiosity. "When I find that hybrid I'm gonna crush it along with the person who led it here." 

1402. So yeah. The first strike against Isabella. More to come then the battle. I made the cover for the next book already. It's called Satan's Sacrifice. But yeah. Until next time sacrificial marshmallows.
