Demons And Humans

Chapter 131

Noah was grabbing an injection, bringing it over to a young male that was strapped to the table and screaming. There was a clamour among the men protecting the entrance, a new voice, and a sudden clack of heels against the floor. Noah quickly injects the victim with what he had and they fall asleep, him going over to the corner of the room and grabbing his gun, pointing it towards the door to get in the room. The clacking stops at the door, and a voice was heard from beyond the door, a high pitched young female's voice. "Don't be scared, little lamb~ I am merely here for a deal~" Noah stays quiet, keeping the gun pointed at the door. The doorknob is tried, and with this unsuccessful attempt silence ensued for several seconds, before the sound of someone picking the lock was heard. Noah huffs and mutters. "Who could have possibly gotten in here..?" The lock is successfully picked after only a minute, and the door slowly swings open, though nobody was in the doorway. Noah keeps the gun pointed at the doorway, his eyes locked on it.  A robotic metal looking pink rabbit hand puppet suddenly popped into view. "Hi Noah!" Noah huffs. "Show yourself." The puppet giggled. "You're not scared of a little girl, are you Noah?" Noah growls. "How do you know my name?! Who are you?!" The puppet tilted his head to the side, it's ears flopping. "We're a friend, Noah! No need to be scared!" Noah continues to growl. "Then show yourself!" A girl popped out from behind the door, with fluffy light green, light blue, and light red hair, pink rabbit earrings, and a light pink rabbit mask over her face, her eyes under it bright and blooming, with heavy mascara. She had a green blue sclera on both eyes, her right eye having a light blue iris, whereas her left had a light red. She was wearing light pink lipstick, and had several tattoos on her shoulders, one of a small cat, and another of a collection of flowers, as well as tiny tattoos of small stars dotting her face and shoulders around the other tattoos. She had a pink ribbon tied to her neck, and a maroon shirt slouched off of one shoulder. Noah lowers the gun a little. "What do you want?" The girl had a noticeable Boston accent. "My boss has a proposition for you!" It didn't sound like she knew what that word meant. "I came to pass it on!" Noah raises an eyebrow. "Who's your boss and how old are you?" The girl giggles. "I'm fifteen, Sir! And you'll see my boss soon enough! He's a real treat!"
Noah sighs, lowering the gun completely. "Where is he?" The girl put her finger to her bottom lip. "He didn't tell me." Noah stares at her. "What's his name?" She smiles. "He didn't want me to tell yeh, Sir." Noah huffs. "Fine. Do you know when he's coming?" The girl tilted her head. "No." Noah rolls his eyes. "Alrighty then. Um. Do you want something to drink or anything?" He sounded uncertain like he didn't know what to do.
The girl looks excited. "Do you have tea? My boss always makes the best tea." Noah nods. "Follow me." He heads out of the room and to a kitchen area. The girl bounces after him. Noah sighs, going over to his Keurig and brewing a cup of tea. The girl stood looking around the room. "My name's Raylani, by the way!" Noah nods. "Cool." He brings the tea over to her. Raylani took the cup, smiling at him and holding it to her mouth, taking a sip. Noah looked uncomfortable and just stands there awkwardly. After about a minute, there was a loud pounding on the door. Noah jumps a little but looks at Raylani. "I'm guessing that's him." He goes to the door and opens it, his hand on his gun which was in a holster hooked to his belt. Nobody was there, but a male voice suddenly sounded behind him. "You're gunna get caught one of these days." Noah slams the door, quickly spinning around and yanking his gun out of it's holster. The man put a hand out in front of him casually. "Calm down pussy cat." The man was decently tall, and was dressed in a fitted all black heavy duty outfit, with padded pants and thick black grip boots that had his legs look similar to a rabbit's, a padded shirt with a strap going over his shoulder and connecting to a belt around his waist, thick black gloves, and a hood connected to the shirt covering his hair, the hood having two large real looking rabbit ears coming from the top. On his face he had a fully covering mask that looked purposefully broken looking, with the mouth section having a large sharp toothed smile, the nose spot having a small rabbit nose, and rabbit whiskers came off of it to the sides. Noah jumps back, stumbling into the wall and grunting, keeping his gun up. "W-Who are you?! W-Why are you here?!" The man sighs. "Didn't my lovely assistant tell you? I'm here regarding a business proposition." Noah's hands were noticably shaking. "WHO are you?! Take off the mask!" The man shakes his head. "I'm afraid I can't do that, Noah." Noah huffs. "I'm not talking with you until I know who you are!!" The man chuckles. "Considering what you do for a living, I expected you to be able to handle a little visit from the Easter bunny." Noah growls. "Tell me who you are!!" The man pushes himself away from the wall and walks towards Noah. "Only if you agree to work with me." Noah huffs. "Fine!" He was still noticably shaking. The man crosses his arms. "I didn't know you'd be such a scaredy cat.." Noah looks away for a moment but quickly continues to stare at the man. "I'm not scared!! I'm being careful!!" The man laughs maniacally. "You're shaking."
Noah looks at his hands and then at the rest of his body, realizing he was shaking pretty bad, looking a little embarrassed. "I'm not scared.." The man steps closer to him, tilting his head and leaning into his face. "Are you not?" Noah pulls his face away, holding the gun up still, him sweating. "Just tell me who you are.." The man sighs. "I'm not sure you'll be more or less scared of me when you find out.."
Noah shakes his head. "Tell me. Now." The man puts a hand on Noah's gun. "Put the gun away." Noah looks at his gun and then back at the man. "Why should I trust you?!" The man laughs. "You shouldn't!" Noah huffs. "I'm not putting it away." The man tilts his head. "Then shoot me." Noah shakes his head. "I'll only shoot you if you try to hurt me. I'm keeping it out as a precaution." The man makes a sound of intrigue. "Is that so? Well, then you must be interested in my proposal." Noah huffs. "I said we're not talking until I know who you are." The man giggles. "Quite feisty!" He boops him on the nose. Noah pulls away, a look of disgust on his face. "Don't touch me!" The man rubs his hands together. "You reawy wanna know who I am?" Noah nods. "Mm~ then so be it!" The man said. He backed up, putting his hands at the back of the mask, unclipping it and taking it off, at the same time flicking back his hood, revealing a mass of fluffy purple hair and a cheeky smirking face with bright glowing white eyes. "I believe you know me." Noah's eyes widen and his face goes red. "U-Uh.." Vincent giggles. "Quite a reaction~!" Noah presses himself against the wall. "N-No.." Vincent tilts his head. "What's wrong?" Noah shakes his head. "I-I never thought I'd get to meet you!" He goes up to him and wraps his arms around him, attempting to kiss him on the cheek. Vincent looks surprised. "Mm! Big fan, are we?" Noah nods, keeping him into the hug. "I've always wanted to meet you!" He then attempts to kiss him on the lips, moving a hand to the back of his head. "Mm!" He lets him do this, intrigued. Noah pulls back slightly. "I didn't actually think you'd let me do this~ I didn't know you were gay~"
Vincent chuckles. "I'm not, I'm bisexual. Women just tend to be my public partners of choice." Noah nods and smirks, laying his head against Vincent's neck. "Well I'm glad you came.." He looks up at him, smiling. "You know Jaidan and Kye? Your son's?" Vincent carefully moves his head off of his shoulder. "Yes?"
Noah let's go of him, looking very proud of himself. "I hurt them to try and get your attention." Vincent raises an eyebrow. "You did what?" Noah giggles. "I even cut off Kye's hand!" Vincent looks surprised. "You.." he holds him slightly away from him, conflicted. "Uh-Huh.." Noah looks confused. "Aren't you proud of me..?" Vincent sighs. "Why exactly do you believe I'd be proud of you?" Noah frowns. "Because.. I just thought you'd be happy that I was good at hurting people.." Vincent lets out a deep breath. "Aye... You can't hurt people who I find useful." Noah looks away sadly. "Mmf.. I'm sorry.." Vincent shakes his head. "It's alright. I still came to you for a reason." He taps under Noah's chin. "You have potential. I can use that." Noah looks up at him and nods slightly. Vincent smiles a little. "Now... for my proposal... With my help, you'll be able to make a difference in the lives of these citizens. You'll become a bedtime story to keep little kiddens from breaking the rules. You'll become a fear in even the minds of royals. How does that sound to you?" Noah thinks and then nods. Vincent's smile deepens into a smirk. "You must become fearless, my protègè. You cannot shake in the presence of the Easter bunny." Noah smiles and nods. "Hey, do you want a beer or something?" Vincent chuckles. "I'd like that, yes." Noah grabs Vincent's hand and takes him to the kitchen, grabbing two beers from the fridge and handing Vincent one. Vincent takes it and flicks off the cap with his nail, and looks to Raylani, who had been watching them. "How was his tea?" Raylani perked up when she saw that he was speaking to her. "Not as good as yours boss, but it was okay!" Vincent chuckles. Noah smiles a little and grabs a bottle opener, opening his and then going back over to Vincent. Vincent takes a sip before turning to Noah. "How do you choose your victims?" Noah looks at him. "They're always non-human men." Vincent nods. "What for?" Noah shakes his head. "I keep the motive to myself." Vincent raises an eyebrow. "You're planning to work with me without telling me why you work?" Noah sighs. "Why do you need to know? It's not important." Vincent shakes his head. "A motive is always important. I need to know how passionate you are." Noah sighs shakily and takes a deep breath, looking away. "Someone hurt me.. Badly.." Vincent nods. "I see. I suppose we can work up to the details. For now, let's discuss the changes that will be made. Noah looked a little upset but nods. Vincent puts a hand on Noah's head and ruffles his hair. "Don't be upset about it, be angry." Noah looks up at him and nods. "I'll work on it." Vincent smiles. "Now. First things first, My associate and I will now do the kidnappings. Okay?" Noah nods. "I usually have my men do it anyway." Vincent nods. "Second, Whatever is used to erase their memories of the events will be tweaked slightly to allow them to remember only our masked faces." Noah nods. "What will I wear for a mask?" Vincent thinks for a moment. "You will wear what you represent best. A cat." Noah frowns a little but then smiles again. "Hey, are you dating anyone?" Vincent's expression falters. "I am engaged." Noah looks really embarrassed. "U-Um.. S-Sorry.. I-I didn't know.." Vincent shakes his head. "It's alright." Noah sighs shakily, putting his hands in his pockets. "I uh.. I haven't really been with anyone for like 8 years.. It's um.. It's difficult.. Everyone I come into contact with hates me and won't even remember me after.." Vincent tilts his head and gives him a sly smile. "I can change that." Noah looks confused. "Wha'do you mean?" Vincent looks off. "You will understand. I have one final change." Noah nods. "What is it?" Vincent looks back to him. "You will now be accepting personalised orders from people in exchange for money, items, or favours." Noah looks confused still but then smiles a little. "Starting... with mine." Vincent says. "I'll bring him in. He stole something of mine. I want you to get it back." Noah nods. "What did he take?" Vincent throws his eyes on the wall. "A ring." He looks back at him. "Cut off his fingers." Noah looks a little surprised but nods. "Whatever you say."
Vincent smirks. "You may do whatever else you please with him, those are my only requirements." Noah smirks as well. "Cool." Vincent then uses his magic to produce a mask resembling a mangled cat, and hands it to him. "I want this one to remember everything." Noah takes the mask and nods. "I'll use a different injection. One that will just knock him out." Vincent nods, and then heads to the door, putting back up his hood and clipping his mask back on.
