The Hunter's Angel

Chapter 4: Hunter's P.O.V

(Angel's eye colour above)

(Start of dream)

I was surrounded by darkness, I couldn't see the ground or the sky or anything. Suddenly I heard I voice, it sounded light and airy like a little girl's, it was calling me. I began running to the voice, I couldn't see.

"Hunter. Hunter, come get me." It said.

"I don't know where you are?" I replied breathing heavily, but I was still running.

"Hunter help me, please help me." The girl sounded scared now.

"Tell me where you are?" I order as I see a light appear in the distance. I run even faster towards the light.

"Help me, they are going to get me." Her voice begins to shake.

"I'll help. Just tell me where you are!?" I shout.

"HELP ME HUNTER!!" The screams are deafening when I bust through the light.

It's suddenly quiet and all I see is white. 'Am I dead?' I think, 'No I'm just asleep.' I answer my question. I look around and see a bundle of black curled up on the floor. I walk towards it, and as I pick it up I note that it's a hooded jumper, a black hoodie. I looked closer and realised where it was from. The last time I saw this it was shredded and covered in blood, Angel's blood. I shudder as I recall that day.

"You said you would help?" I drop the hoodie as it talks and jumps away.

"W-What?" I ask confused at what is going on.

"You said you would help me. Why didn't you?" It was Angel's voice.

"I... I tried." I say trying to shake away the memories.

"Why didn't you help me, Hunter?" Angel-no the hoodie repeats getting louder.

"I tried." I also repeat myself, getting louder as well.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP!!" The hoodie yells.

"I TRIED!!" I scream back.

(Dream finished)

"I TRIED!!" I scream jolting up from my bed successfully landing on the floor face-first.

I stand shaking and with rapid breaths as I yank at my hair. I rush to the bathroom and scramble into the shower. Freezing water hits my skin like cold bullets and cascades down my body leaving a trail of Goosebumps, but I can't feel any of it as memories I try to suppress assault my mind.

After a while, I get out of the shower only now realising that my boxers got soaked. I rub my head roughly with one hand while I go through my draw looking for clothes with the other. Just as I finished getting dressed there was a knock at the door. 'I don't need Billy's bullshit right now.' I think knowing who it is already. As expected when I open the door the landlord is standing right there.

"I want my money." He says disgruntled.

"I don't have it." I get straight to the point too shaken up from the nightmare.

"Then you gotta go." Billy orders. "Why can't you be more like your neighbour?" He scolds.

I don't know why I think it was from hearing her name, but I snapped. I grab him by the shoulders and lift him to my height. I growl and snarl violently at him, feeling my anger get the best of me.

"I don't care, you pot belled bastard." I sneer in his face and then drop him.

"B-Be gone by Monday." He splutters before jogging down the hall.
