Daughter of Dark

chapter1

17 years later.

Wiping the side of my face of blood with my sleeve, I look around. Nothing but dead bodies and a run down abandoned wear house. I shouldn't call them bodies. More like dead monsters. They are not human, these are the Jeklings I had been tracking.

You see, I'm not a normal teenager. I'm a hunter of the supernatural.  It runs in the family. Since my mom died giving birth to me and my dad is god knows where. Grand dad was the one who raised me, but now he's getting older and can't so it's up to me now. It's a rough responsibly, but it's all I know. Grand dad said I was "destined for greatness". I haven't the faintest idea what he meant by that. All I know is one day someone will find me. Who I don't know. But when it happens, I am supposed to run. But I don't think I want to.

Ever since I was 14, I have felt a presence. Not the bad kind. But the kind that makes you smile and feel comfortable. Of course I don't tell Grand Dad that. He would lock me up. Not kidding.

Looking around, I have feel my chest titan. I don't want this life. I want to be a normal 17 year old girl who gets dates and worries about college. Not someone who has to worry about whether or not they are being followed or if I'm going to get offed in my sleep.

But there is a reason why I'm doing this. I need to find the fucker who did this even if it kills me. Which I know it will. I might not even get to kill the son of a bitch. But I'll go down fighting. I'm not giving up.

Pushing the feeling away, I move forward and grab my knife. Wiping it against my leg, I take in the damage. Not to bad, except for the hole I made in the door because I kicked it in. The blood was everywhere though. This isn't my normal method. I'm usually in and out silently.  Never takes to long to clean up. But this, this will take hours.

With a huff, I bend down and grab the nearest one by the ankles and start to drag him out the door. I do the same for the rest and pretty soon there piled outside the warehouse. Going back inside I begin to clean the blood from the every surface. Using the cleaning supplies from my jeep.

Standing up, I survey my work. Not to bad. Obviously you can still tell, but you won't see it unless you are really looking. Going outside I throw my stuff in the trunk and stop. It's here again. The presence I so appreciate. Closing my eyes I try to figure out where it's coming from. Unfortunately it leaves before I could pin point where.
Feeling slightly disappointed, I walk over towards the Jeklings. Taking out my lighter, I flick the flame. This is the part I hate. Burning my kills. Every time I have to deal with the pain. I have to idea why. But ever since the first kill I made, I always feel the pain of their deaths. Eventually I got over it. The pain still sucks though.
Throwing the lit lighter on the bodies, I suck it a breath waiting. Nothing happens. I watch in confusion as the flames crawl up the bodies.
I stay there for the rest of the night waiting but nothing happens. Eventually I cover the ashes with dirt and hop into my jeep. Maybe I'm better. With that thought I pull out of the drive and head towards town. Smiling I role down the windows and turn on the radio. After a while I'm driving down a road surrounded by open fields. That's when it hits. The pain. Screaming I grab my head, forgetting that I'm driving. All I see is blinding white. I can't even think.
Distantly I feel the Jeep crash into the culvert and am thrown through the wind shield. Gasping at the pain from the Jeklings and the crash I begin to feel myself fade. The pain becoming too much. All I can think is this is it.
Right before I black out, the pain disappears. With the last of my strength, I peer up to find the shadow man. The last thing I hear is his words.

I'm here now Cody. No more hiding. Your mine....
