Unlikely Hero: Fall of the Demon Slayer

Part 2

I woke up at about 8:00 am. It was Saturday so I was able to sleep in a little bit. I didn't want to waste any time though, I had to go and find out about those kids. I'm going to try and only ask them a few questions so I don't overwhelm them. That was the last thing I wanted to do to them poor kids.

I got dressed and took off to the hospital. When I got there the rest of the staff was surprised to see me. I never showed up in the morning so this was new to them. I walked up to the front desk. The lady there kept her eyes on me the whole time. I could sense that she was nervous.

"I'm here to see the kids that were brought here last night." I told her.

"Oh um just take the elevator up to the third floor, then take a left and it should be the second door on the right." She told me.

I could feel her nervousness getting stronger. She seemed to be hiding something. I ignored it and went to the room. There were a lot of guy down the hall, the were all well built and looked to be holding concealed pistols. They weren't cops, possibly SWAT or military. I kept walking to the room. The closer I got I could feel all their eyes locking onto me. I was being surveyed. Why though? I walked into the room. Both the kids were laying in the beds but they didn't look like they did last night. They looked almost good as new. I could feel a strange power coming from them. That may be why the feds were here. These kids have powers. The boy woke up and looked at me. He started to scream in horror, but it wasn't at me. One of the guys from the hallway came in behind me. The boy kept screaming and his sister woke up. I turned around and saw the guy reach his hand around and rest it on his pistol. As soon as I turned around there was silence, but I was loosing the feeling in my legs. I saw the little girl looking at me, her eyes were pure white and she looked really concentrated. I tried to move forward, but I couldn't move. Nothing was working. She was using her mind to keep me from moving! The boy got up out of bed and walked over to his sister.

"Come on Abby, we need to get out of here."

Her eyes went back to normal and I dropped to the floor. They ran passed me and went out the door. The guy behind me was incapacitated like I was. I quickly tried to regain my strength and went after them. The hallway was littered in guys on the ground, one was even through a wall. There was a large hole in the wall at the end of the hall. I ran to it and looked around to find them, but they were gone. I turned around and grabbed one of the guys on the ground.

"What was with that? Who the hell are you guys?" I asked.

I had the man pinned up to the wall. Then I heard the slide locks of about seven pistols being pointed at me.

"Bullets don't work on me so don't ty it." I told them as I went demon.

The guy I was holding against the wall turned white.

"Put your weapons down!" Someone yelled. It was the guy that walked into the room with me.

"I don't want to ask again. Who the hell are you guys?" I asked.

"Well we ought to ask you the same thing Demon Slayer. I know you aren't Brutus, so you must be the person who gained his powers. I haven't seen that demon in about 10 years." He told me.

How did he know about Brutus? Nobody but Claire and I knew about Brutus. I went back to normal.
"Now it's your turn, who are you." I asked him angrily.
"I'm Coleton Lee, I run a special task force to secure individuals like those kids. We would have had them days ago if our contact wouldn't have grown a backbone for them."
So the kids step dad wasn't a bad guy after all and dropped them off there to keep them safe. These guys were the real baddies, I need to get out of here and help these kids.
"How do you know about Brutus and the Demon Slayer?" I asked
"I'm glad you asked, he used to be our top agent here. That is until he became the things we were after and turned on us."
So he knew Brutus because they used to work together. Then he got the powers I have and I'm guessing when that happened they tried to hunt him down, but in the end he got away.
"I need to go, I'm going after the kids." I told Coleton.
"Oh no you aren't, I've waited 10 years to be able to get back at the demon living in you and I'm not wasting this chance." He said.
He pulled out his pistol and shot, I barely went demon before he could do any damage. His bullet grazed past my head. The pain was quick but bearable. He kept shooting at me, then the other men started shooting at me. I blocked my face and tired to move forward. Then I felt a painful shock in my back making me fall to my knees. Then another one hit me in my side, and another. It just kept coming. They were using shock batons on me to incapacitate me. I need to get out of here, but how? They stopped firing their weapons. I could sense them moving in closer to me. I heard one of the guys get ready to swing his baton at me. I waited for the right moment. He raised his arm up, then I lunged are him. I was beating the men down. One by one, I would knock one guy down then lunge at the other. I was moving to fast for them. I saw an opening for me to get away. I cloaked and ran for the hole in the wall. Their eyes were scanning the room, seeing if I would attack them. Lucky for them I was leaving. I ran and jumped out the hole, opening my wings and speeding off towards my house. I need to get back there so I can figure out what to do from there.
I was still cloaked but I could feel a strange presence near me. No one was around me though. I wanted to follow it but I needed to get home. I was almost there. I noticed all kinds of vehicles around, not the usual one though. They were all black SUVs, government style. They were all over the place. Coleton has the whole town on lockdown. What the hell was going on? They were after a couple of kids and they needed this much backup. I was finally back to the house. Mom was at work so I was home alone. I went downstairs to my room.
"Brutus."
The journal on my table began to shake, Brutus appearing out of it like usual.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Who is Coleton Lee and why is he here?"
I could see him get a little uncomfortable after I asked him.
"Coleton Lee is the leader of a government team that is sent out to silence people with powers. They are called Power Hunters."
"And you used to be one of them?"
"Yes, but after I gained my powers I realized that the people we were hunting were still human. So I left them and Coleton hunted me down until I went dark after I got trapped in the journal."
This makes since as to why he knew the Demon Slayer.
Brutus left and I took to the skies again. I cloaked my self so I didn't get spotted. There were patrols of Power Hunters everywhere. They were going from house to house searching for the kids and possibly me. Then there was gun fire. It was close, sounded like government issue rifles. I flew to the area it was at. A Power Hunter was standing over a man, a pool of blood formed around him. I bolted down to the ground. I noticed the man on the ground was holding a pistol. I landed and the Power Hunter turned around and pointed his rifle at me. I was filled with rage. I went demon and attacked the man. He was wearing full Kevlar armor, wasn't much though because I ripped it off with ease. His fear growing stronger by the minute. I lifted him off the ground and flew up. With him scared for his life I could possibly get him to tell me what he knew.
"What are you doing out here?" I asked him.
"We are looking for those kids. Don't drop me please!"
I was right. They were searching for those kids. I have to find them before they do.
I flew back down and set the man down, he ran to his car and drive off. I walked over to the man on the ground. I couldn't detect any heart beat. He was dead. Killed by the Power Hunters. I'm going to make them pay for everything, including trying to kill me. This isn't the end Power Hunters, I will be coming after you.
