FIRE DEMON

chapter 1

thank you all for reading. I'll be updating probably every couple days. Certain chapters have mature content. Reader beware. Thanks for reading and enjoy the ride.

Fire. I'm surrounded by fire! My whole body is ablaze. I don't know what's happening to me, or why, but I do know I'm on fire, and yet my body isn't burning. There is no pain. What is happening to me?

Bursting upright in bed, there's no flames, my body is exactly as it was when I went to bed last night.

Jumping out of bed running to my full length mirror; I look like me. My long dark red hair a mess around my face, my slightly larger than average figure looks the same. The only thing that's different is my skin is hot to the touch, as if I've been out in the sun all day, only I haven't. Just like the last dream.

I don't know what that dream was, but it's starting to freak me out a little. Taking a step back, I have to calm down, it was just a dream, nothing more just another messed up dream; nothing more. My alarm starts going off and I have to be to work in half an hour. Pulling off the large shirt I slept in; it's drenched in sweat, a cold shower is exactly what I need, the cold water cooling my skin. Stepping out of the bathroom of my two bedroom house. "Well it took you long enough." Screaming I reached for my gun on my table, aiming it. Zack is sitting on my couch chuckling.

Lowering my gun.

"Dam it Zack! I could have shot you. What the hell are you doing here?" Standing he looked me up and down, I'm still in my bath towel.

"Giving you a ride to work. Remember? Your car is still in the shop." "Right sorry. I had a rough night." Pulling my towel tighter. "I'll be out in a moment. I haven't eaten so we're stopping."

He lifted a small paper bag. "Blueberry muffin, orange juice and small Coffey. Now go get dressed, or we are going to be late." Nodding I went into my room closing the door. I swear if Zack does anything like that again, I will be taking his key back.

Opening my closet; I pulled out a pair of dress black pants, black dress jacket and a blue blouse. I pulled my hair up and grabbed my badge and phone off my dresser.

Opening my door Zack is staring out my window looking over my backyard.

"Are we ready to go?" he asked as he turned to look at me. I nodded. "Yeah let's go. I have a feeling it's going to be a long day." It's February and the middle of winter, I pulled on my winter jacket, hat and gloves; holstered my gun and grabbed my keys.

"Let's go we don't have much time." Walking out the door; it's just after nine in the morning, it's freezing out.

Zack's red Honda Civic is in my driveway, I can't wait to get my ford back from the shop.

Lucky for me, Zack left the car running so it's not freezing as we climbed in. After I buckled in Zack handed me my breakfast, he backed out my driveway and drove towards the precinct.

I live no far from the station, not ten minutes; but in the morning it can take a lot longer than that to get there. Zack doesn't quite seem like himself this morning, I don't know what it is, but there is definitely something wrong with him.

Setting my Coffey down, I moved so I can look at him better.

"Zack what's wrong with you?" Shaking his head. "Sorry, it's nothing. My mom called last night, dad has fallen off the wagon again. Don't say anything, I already made the call and he's back in rehab." "Zack I am so sorry. What happened to him?" "She didn't say, but I'm sure it was something great that he loved at the time." I was about to say something, but my phone started ringing, cutting me short. "Hello. Yeah boss. Right away." Ending the call. "Change of plans, we got a fresh one. Turn left here." He quickly turned heading to our next job, in the downtown core. Since the scene is downtown, that can mean only one thing, werewolves. The city is full of the supernatural; vampires, werewolves and even demons.
