Super, Nova

"A black studded jacket? You're really trying to get his attention, huh?" I look behind me to see Verne stood with his arms over his chest as he looks me up and down "I can say right now that he'll either look over you completely or he'll give you the attention you're obviously craving. He'll probably ignore you though"

I suck on my middle finger but then pull it out of my mouth and stick it up at him, "Suck on this, Verne." I strut off towards the place with Jessica and Carrie just a few steps ahead of me "Do you think Mari will be here tonight? I know she's with Jesse at the moment"

I swirl my straw around my cup as I roam around the room looking for anyone new to talk to so I could get some sort of insight on Malachai, who I literally knew nothing about. I lean against the back wall kicking a foot out just as someone walks past me earning a frustrated grunt in response to my action "Fucking watch it. These are real leather!" I look up at the guy to apologise but before I could get an actual glimpse of this guys face to apologise to him, he was already halfway across the room.

"Ignore him, He's just a dick all the time." I look at the guy sat at the table next to where I was stood, "He doesn't mean any harm." He smiles a little at me as I just nod at him starting to think that my whole idea of speaking to someone new about Malachai was now looking like the wrong idea. It seemed like a fantastic idea when no one was actually speaking to me.

"Uh. . .so, what's your name?" I sit down across from him trying not to think about the fact that I was talking to someone that I didn't know, I could have a knife pulled out on me at any moment and no one in this place would even bat an eyelid at it.

"My name? You obviously don't care about that, so what do you want to know so badly that you're beating around the bush about asking me then?" He raises his eyebrows at me as he takes a swig of his beer "No need to be afraid, darl. I'm an open book, an honest man some may call me."

"How much do you know about Malachai? Are you guys good friends? I just want to know what's up with him. He's so rude and...unnecessarily mean? Is he like this with everyone? I also know anything about him so that's why I wanted to ask someone some stuff and I can hear myself talking on and I can't stop." I ramble on but he holds his hand up for me to stop speaking.

"Oh so you're one of his newest bitches? That makes so much more sense now!" He exclaims, he stands to his feet and grabs me by the hand "I'll take you to him now, He'll be pleased." I look round at him as he pulls me along thinking about what he just said. Bitches? That's a little degrading, if you ask me.

I continue to look over my shoulder every few seconds or so as this guy leads me through the back of the bar and into a room that looked like a little apartment. There was a couch, bed and even a stove, "Your newest fuck is here, Kai" The guy calls out, I hear a load of noise before Malachai appears from behind a door. He sets his eyes on me as he motions for the other guy to get out; leaving just him and I in the small room.

He smirks at me whilst he just stands on the other side of the room, "Newest fucks? You could only wish, sweet cheeks. I wouldn't say you were exactly my type in any way but I'm too good for you."

"Why are you so up yourself, Malachai? You were so unnecessarily rude yesterday." I back away from him as he strolls over to me from the other side of the room. He stops in front of me I watch as he studies my outfit mainly focusing on the jacket that I was sporting. However I borrow it from Jessica but who needs to know that? He doesn't and that's for sure.

He pokes one of the spikes before placing a hand next to my head, "You have a pretty cute house by the way, drove past earlier." He looks down at me before walking away to sit on a couch as he pours himself a drink from a dark bottle. "You should probably lock your doors too, you never know what ghouls could get in there Nova"

I frown before looking at him like he had three heads, "You've been in my house? Fucking creepy what the fuck" I stumble over my words as he just leans back whilst wearing nothing but a robe that was tied up, extremely loosely may I add. "So it was you that took me home the other night then? makes sense, I did assume it was you."

He lets out a loud laugh shaking his head at me, "No, I wouldn't do that. What do you take me for? Someone nice? It was Ace that took you back, you know that guy that brought you in here. Yeah that's Ace." He nods as he pats the space next to him with a grin. "Come sit, I'll keep it PG rated for you"

I take him up on his offer but sit a little further away from him than he originally offered, "Hey babe, I don't bite. . .Unless you want me to." He winks at me as he leans over to place a hand on my leg his thumb stroking the inside of my leg.

I lift his hand up placing back on his lap as I shake my head at him. "I'm not as easy as Mari. You said you'd be keeping it PG rated and with you stuff like. . .what you just did always leads to sex and I'm not here for it" I cross my legs and shift my body so it's turned away from him.

"C'mon it'll be fun, no hard feelings. . . except my dick" He breaks in to a fit of laughter as I just stare him trying not to laugh at his terrible joke. "Oh that was funny, you've got to laugh at that one."

I let out a huff as I turn towards him now that he's stopped laughing, "In all seriousness though. Was it actually you that took me home or was it Ace? I feel like it was you."

He throws his head back as he rolls his eyes at me, "Remind me again. Why I would take you home? It's not like I like you or you're even a friend so I don't really have to worry about your safety because it doesn't affect me but I think you should just stick to the North side, That way you won't get hurt."

"Oh I didn't know you cared, Malachai? How cute of you." I smirk at him knowing full well I'm patronising him which you could see how much it was testing his patience.

"No, I don't care about you at all. I just don't want to be the bait for those north side jerks if something happens to you at this place because I can guarantee that we'll be the first ones they blame now that they're pals with those serpent scum" He slams his glass down on the table before standing to his feet "I think it's time you go, Nova"

Before I walk out the door I turn to him and give him a smile, "You just don't want them to do anything to you because we all know that they're 10 times the men you are, Mal. They have bigger ball then you ever will." I hear the glass hit the door as I shut it behind before another crash and a frustrated yell.

I tap Jessica on the shoulder as her and Carrie stand with Verne and Ace, "We've got to go, guys." I look down at my feet trying not to make eye contact with the ghoulies that were stood there. "C'mon, let's move if you want me to drive you."

"Pissed off Kai then? Didn't get what your spoilt ass wanted huh, princess?" Verne smirks knowing full well he was right but was I willing to actually give him the satisfaction of knowing that? Not at all.

I storm out of the place pushing anyone that stepped in front of me to the side, "Nova, wait up!" Jessica calls out as she comes running towards me, "What the fuck did you do? why did we have to leave?"

"I've really pissed Malachai off and I don't know what he's going to do but I know I'll be on the end of it, I'm in shit with him"
