"Ok, so Ms. Takahashi, you claim that you were asleep here at Ms. Sweet's house, correct?" The officer said, looking down at his notes.
"Yes, sir." I said, trying not to show how scared I was.
"Is there anyone beside Ms. Sweet that can vouch for you? Say, a parent, guardian?"
"Yes, sir. My mom was here." Sarah piped in.
"Alright, you two go wait in the Ms. Sweet's bedroom, we'll talk to your mother and make sure this all lines up-" The officer was cut off by a sword being plunged into his chest. Blood gushed out of his mouth, falling onto the hardwood floor of the living room. The sword was the pulled out with a sickening 'squelch' and when the officer fell down I saw the face of the person who impaled him. She was a little short, with short blond hair that faded to brown at the bottom and a little stripe of dark blue in her bangs. She was wearing a pink crop top with a black hoodie over it, she had jeans and dark grey boots. And the other thing I noticed was that she had ears, and a black tail with a blue tip. And her eyes, one was black with a yellow star and the other was light blue with a dark blue star.*^ I'll post the drawing later*
"Well? Are you just gonna stand there? If you don't come with us we're all gonna go to jail and rot there!" She yelled, putting her sword in the carrier on her back and grabbing our arms.
She pushed us towards this dark blue Toyota, she opened the back door and ushered us in. Once we got in she shut the door and got in the front.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I'm Avi, and this is my girlfriend Jade." She said, never turning around. But Jade turned around and smiled at us before turning back around and driving off, she had brown hair and was wearing glasses, she had on a purple T-shirt that said "Join the Hentai life or be crushed" and jeans, I couldn't see her shoes."Why did you save us?" Sarah asked.
"Well, when I first saw you in the forest I thought you were just some curious little brats that needed to be killed. But then I heard you say something about the book —by the way never say it's name or you will literally be dragged down to hell— and I knew that you were the ones we had to protect." She said turning around.
"Brats? Protect? Ok, first of all, how old are you lady? And second of all, what do you mean 'we're the ones you need to protect'?" I asked, leaning forwards.
"1. I'm 2209 years old but I'm immortal so I always look 16. 2. You have 'demons' don't you?"
I looked at her and squinted.
"She's telling the truth, she's your protector. She protects you from the Hunters." Shiori chimes in my ear.
"Hm. Ok, so you're our protector that keeps us safe from the Hunters?"
"Yep. Guessing Shiori told you?"
"Uh, y-yea... How do you know her name?"
Avi laughed. "I know everything about you, I knew everything about you before you were born!"
"Wait... WHAT?!" I yelped.
"Us protectors are assigned years before our assignments are born. So I've been studying everything about you since I was 1009."
I stared at her. "Hm, well alright... But— LOOK OUT!!!—"
*CRASH*
