The Glitch in Dragon City

Chapter 11

~Seans’ P.O.V~

I hated leaving Abby alone, but it was needed. She needed time away from demons. Standing just outside the door, I sighed and gritted my teeth. ‘She doesn't deserve any of this…’ Growling low, I made my way to the alley, out of the public eye.

Once I was in the alley, I checked every direction for anyone that could be watching. ‘The coast is clear...time to go home.’  My black fog surrounded me, covering the whole alley, as I activated my power. The electrical box on the wall next to me started to groan and pop, begging to release its’ energy. I closed my eyes as I touched my palm to the powder green metal.

Taking a deep breath and releasing it slowly through my nose, making sure all of the air was out of my lungs, I absorbed every bit of electricity from the box. 

The whole block, except for the detective office, blacked out. ‘Sorry...but not really...I need this energy to get home…’ 

My body crackled with the electricity. I laughed loudly, throwing my head back, my eyes glowing brightly. “Oh how I have missed this feeling…” My voice was broken and glitchy, three toned and demonized. At first it caught me off guard, I hadn’t heard my voice like this in a very long time.

I breathed deeply through my nose again and released it through my mouth as I pictured my living room in my mind. With a loud crack of green lightning, I teleported home.

 While I appeared in the room I wanted, I somehow managed to materialize inside of my couch. This pissed me off to and extreme extent. I growled aggressively as my claws extended from my fingertips. I slashed my hands all around my legs, tearing the cushions apart. “Fucking. Piece. Of. SHIT!” 

My shoulders were hunched, I breathed heavily, baring my fangs in an angry snarl. Once I was free from the couch, someone cleared their throat. I whipped my head towards the person. 

“Uh Sean...you alright, bud?” Will was sitting at the dining table, eating cereal.

My claws retreated as I stood straight. I ran my, now human, hand through my hair as I calmed down. Stepping out of the destroyed couch, I went to sit across from Will. “I am fine...now.”

His eyebrows were raised. “Really? Because I’ve seen you angry before… but not like that…”  

“Will…” My voice was its’ normal self again. “I am fine…” I leaned forward, my elbows on the table, my hands clasped together. “Wheres Nick?”  Will shrugged and continued to eat. “William…” I growled his name.

He looked at me wide eyed. “I uh...I think he’s in your guys’ room…” His eyes wouldn’t meet mine.

“Was that so hard?” I stood up and went to my room. As I poked my head in, I saw Nick laying on his side, his back towards me. “Nick?” The only response I got was a light snore. I smiled to myself and walked in, closing the door behind me. 

I stripped down to nothing and slid under the blanket next to Nick. I could feel that he still had boxers on, but I didn’t care. I just pulled him closer, his back pressed against my chest. I propped my head on my hand , listening to Nicks’ heartbeat and watched him sleep.

 ~Abbys’ P.O.V~

“Abby…” Someone was poking my cheek. “Abz…” He poked my nose this time. “Aaaabbyyyyy…” He flicked my ear. 

I opened my eyes, obviously angry. “What?!” I shouted. I couldn’t tell who it was at first, my eyes were still blurry with sleep.

“‘Bout time, girl. I was starting to think I’d have to kiss ya to wake ya up.” He laughed softly.
