Nora woke up on the floor of a jail cell. Unaware of what happened, she stood up and banged on the bars. "Damn, this is tough iron!" She tried to melt the metal, but instead she burned herself, which rarely happened. She sat down on the bed provided and thought. She couldn't think straight, her sight was blurry and she felt dizzy. She decided to lay down and take a rest so her headache could disappear. She woke up two hours later, her throat dry and her eyes adjusting to the light. She noticed her phone and knife had been confiscated. She sighed and noticed someone walking through the building, his keys were slamming against his thigh, Nora immediately knew it was a Gaurd. The Gaurd walked in front of the cell and opened it. "You're bailed out. Don't make me find you there again." He said and glared at her. She glared back and wondered, who would bail me out? I barely made any friends. She felt a presence that she hadn't felt in twelve hundred years. It was her brother, Nix. He smiled at her, she immediately knew he was there to take her home. She stepped back, being fully aware of his capabilities. "Aw, you don't need to be afraid, sister. I'm only here to..." he trailed off. She stepped back again, realizing the Gaurd was still there. The Gaurd had a familiar aura, one of a demon. "What's wrong sis? Dad wants you to come home." She stepped back until she was inside her cell. "I'm never going back home." He sighed. "Sister, must you be this difficult? You don't have to go home. All you have to do is stay with me. It'll be safer than here." She shook her head. "Anywhere is safer than with you. Leave, before I have to force you." He chuckled. "Sister, please. Don't make me laugh!" She glared at him. "Brother, go home. Take your demon sidekick and go. You have no place on earth." The Gaurd bowed and walked out, Nix was about to walk out too but he stopped in front of the door. "Father wants you home. I will not rest until you are home. Even if I have to force you." He walked out and disappeared. Nora looked out the window and saw a car pull up. She walked outside and into the backseat. The driver started driving, not bothering to look in the backseat. "What are you going to do, princess?" He said. She stayed quiet, not bothering to remove her gaze from the window. She saw many happy couples, but she pulled the blind down, blocking the sun's light from touching her skin. She despised humans, let alone human relationships. She pulled her phone out, she had taken it back before she left her cell, and decided to check her messages. She had gotten a few messages from her brother, all saying: I will come for you. You can't escape me.
When she got home, she sighed and was about to walk inside but stopped in the doorway, Nix was sitting on the couch. Two people standing outside the door, grabbed her, and tied her to a chair. "Sister, you didn't think it would be that easy, did you? I always have a backup plan. No matter what." He put a knife to her neck. "Now, come quietly, or I will have no choice but to hurt you."
