Slipping Supremacy

Chapter 2

"Blaze! Blaze, where are you!?" Azael cries out. She turns around in a quick movement, as she hears a sound coming from behind her. She shines her flashlight to the tall trees where the sounds are coming from. "H-hello? Blaze? Is that you?" She gulps. "B-Blaze, please show yourself. It's pitch black and I'm kind of scared.." She hears another sound from behind her and turns around. "Blaze, this is not funny. Stop it!" She shouts. She sees a dark, tall and buff figure slowly marching towards her. 'This isn't Blaze, is it?' Azael thinks to herself. She shines her flashlight at the dark figure. It doesn't seem to help. "Show yourself! I-I'm not afraid of you!" She says, trying to sound brave. It fails miserably, as her voice sounds shaky. Her flashlight dies. "No no no... Don't die on me now flash!" She slaps her flashlight a few times but it doesn't bulge. "Shit." She looks up again and she senses the dark figure standing right in front of her. She gulps and closes her eyes. Azael gets kicked down on the ground by a strong force.

"AAAH!" Azael screams out as she sits up in her bed, hyperventilating. She reaches for her lightswitch and turns it on. She pushes her blanket off her and tries to calm herself down. "That- That was- t-the Circle. What the fuck?" Azael softly says to herself. "It's okay Azzy. It was just a dream. He's okay. Blaze is okay. I am okay." She takes a few deep breaths and looks at the time. It's 4:40 AM. She looks around her room a few times then goes to turn her light off and tries to go back to sleep.

Azael is woken up by her alarm. She groans as she reaches to turn it off. She looks at her clock and sighs. 9:30 AM. She has to get to work soon. Azael stands up and walks downstairs to grab a bowl of cereal. She greets her parents as she walks into the living room. "Hey Azzy, have you heard anything from Blaze yet?" Her mother asks. Azael shakes her head. "Nothing at all. Nothing from Mrs Hall, either. It's really strange." Her mother nodded and a worried expression appeared on her face. Azael frowns and walks into the kitchen. She makes herself some cereal. She sits down at the table to eat it. She pulls her phone out of her pocket and sees over a hundred text messages from the group chat. She opens it and reads a few. It's all bullshit and nobody seems to notice Blaze is missing.

"Hey, has anybody heard anything from Blaze? He didn't show up last night and nobody's heard anything. I'm worried." She sends the text, and immediately gets a few responses.

Amelia was the first to reply.
"Wait, are you saying Blaze is missing?"

Then came Andrew, Amelia's older brother. He's 18 years old and looks exactly like Amelia. Blue eyes, blonde hair and handsome. Andrew is 5"9.
"I haven't heard anything from him either. Does his family know anything?"

Then came Josh.
"He's been eaten by monsters!! The wendigo's got to him!" Josh is Azael's other best friend, next to Blaze. Josh and Azael are both into the supernatural. Josh is way more into it than Azael, but still. He's 6"4, has dark brown long hair and blue eyes. Azael has developed some feelings for Josh over the years, but she's convinced he doesn't feel the same way. Azael giggles to Josh's reply.

"Yeah sure thing, it's the wendigo. Or is it the vampire? Maybe the rougarou? Or a demon?" Azael replies to Josh.

"No, his family haven't seen him. I'll text his mother again in a bit, but she says she has no idea where he went either." She replies to Amelia.

The next text came from Zara. "Can we take this seriously guys? We have no idea where he went. Should we be searching for him? File a missing case?"
Zara is 5"5. She has dark blonde hair and pretty brown eyes. She's from the Netherlands, but moved to Louisiana a few years ago for her fathers work.

"I'm sure he's fine, it's Blaze. He can take care of himself." Andrew responds.

"No bro it's the fucking wendigo, he came for the Canadian boy." Josh replies again.
