Creating the Fire

chapter 1 part 6

" I KNOW you're here," he called him out with a silent voice at the same time looking at the shadow, who stood by the window. Probably it was meant as a warning not to mess with him. Marcel thought that the man called Messiah should be happy, he made him a favour and killed their former leader. He had heard many rumours saying the former leader Salvador was led by his right-hand man called Messiah. He was much more famous than Salvador. In this word you had to make your own name and Messiah had made it. "We'll meet," he thought before looking away.

Valentine stepped out of the shadows with a good smile on his face, like he were pleased. He looked over the border to the window, where the dead men were lying. " Прямо в яблочко (prn: 'Pryamo v yablochko'; means: ' Straight to the bull's-eye')," he complimented Princes' hit, it went just in the right place, he had a good aim. Now there was quite a mess, the men seemed to be surprised and they had pointed their weapons to the window. The new leader stood and did absolutely nothing. How can one man be so confident after his men were killed in front of his eyes? He couldn't be sure he weren't the next one or could he? "

"Почему ты следуйеш за мной (prn: 'Pochemu ty sleduyyesh za mnoy'; mean: 'why do you follow me')?" Marcel asked why the man was following him and he didn't mean only today, but all the weeks he had covered his tracks. He needed to know, whether he was a foe or a friend, even though he took friends as enemies.

" Как давно́ я тебя́ иска́ла," Valentine admitted without being ashamed, but he didn't even try to explain why he had looked for him so long, instead he offered an explanation why he had followed him now," Я не мог выпустить тебя из глаз." He couldn't lose him before his eyes? Does it mean Marcel had the right, the man didn't follow him before, he was always a step or two behind. That was good.

" Почему (prn: 'Pochemu')?" 'why' Marcel thought and said it out loud without noticing. He started packing up his weapon. At the same time Valentine paid close attention to his movements, he smiled. He could like Prince, when they weren't meant to be enemies He was truly beautiful with his blonde over combed hair. His sides were shaved. His hair was a little grown up and he could easily see, Prince wasn't blond by nature. He had smooth silky bronzed skin. His eyes were the mysterious part of him. Valentine had heard stories that people with amber eyes existed, but only one per cent of them from all the population. Prince was one of them. He was one of the rarest and Valentine could do nothing, but feel amazed. Those eyes with golden and copper flames were shining like his eyes were burning. It could have burned him. Even though he had a black face mask, it covered only his mouth and nose, his eyes were invisible every time.

He was wearing white ripped jeans with converse sneakers and a black jacket, which seemed like a mantel. It was long, to his knees, but made from leather. There were few straps and spikes. He also was wearing black leather gloves without fingers, but it seemed like he wore something under them. Maybe silk gloves, but Valentine couldn't be so sure.

"Я надеюсь они небыли тебе блиски (prn: 'YA nadeyus' oni ne byli tebe blizki'; mean: 'I hope they weren't close to you')," Marcel said and turned his gaze down to the street, he actually truly hoped the men's weren't close to Valentine, but he didn't care even if they were. He saw men go off all around the street looking for him.

" No, they weren't," the English all of a sudden seemed kind of harsh. Valentine would have liked to know, what face Prince had made when he'd told him he himself had killed the other one. He didn't say a word about it, instead, he was interested, why he left bodies around. "почему ты оставляешь трупы повсюду (prn: 'pochemu ty ostavlyayesh' trupy povsyudu'; mean: 'why do you leave corpses everywhere')?" he asked anyway knowing that Prince wasn't going to give him that damn answer. It didn't matter, he had his guesses.

"Ты интересный (prn: 'Ty interesnyy'; means: 'you're interesting)," Valentine was staring at Prince and wondering, he told one of his opinions about him," Ты красивый, но опасной (prn: 'Ty krasivyy, no opasnoy'; means: 'You are beautiful but dangerous)."

Marcel smiled under his nose, it was good to hear he were 'beautiful, but dangerous'. He knew it already, but someone else noticing that made him smile. So, he was that easy to read. He almost felt like a monster, a beautiful damned monster.

Valentine thought about him as he thought about angels. There weren't any more beautiful creatures than angels, but they were the most dangerous ones. Fell for them and you're out of the heaven list. It was a beautiful thought, what he wasn't going to share, but he thought that many others could think the same way. It was so simple.

" Опасно (prn:'Opasno')?" Marcel asked it from himself and he truly wondered, whether he could be described as 'dangerous'. There were better words like 'deadly', but Valentine had chosen exactly it over every other word.

"удаляюсь твоим идеям (prn: 'udalyayus' tvoim ideyam')," Valentine wondered, what he was thinking, he would have liked to know it, but he also formed the words out loud, because they had been too long in silence. Didn't he want to flee after what he had done? They may corner them if they didn't move soon or they already were.

Marcel looked in the eyes of Valentine and his words were cold," Я не доверяю тебе (prn:'YA ne doveryayu tebe'; means: 'I don't trust you')". Valentine laughed softly, Prince seemed too serious at the same time like just wanting to test him. "Я тоже тебя нет (prn: 'YA tozhe tebya net'; means: 'me neither')," he answered with the same, so they were even neither of them trusted other. "Хей можем мы вместе работать (prn:'Khey mozhem my vmeste rabotat''; means: 'hey, can we work together')?" Valentine needed to know, he wasn't sticking around without reasons, he wanted to work with him if he too wanted it. The mood was higher now.

"Я подумаю (prn: 'YA podumayu'; means: 'I'll think about it')," Marcel promised with half-smile, but even if he promised to think, it meant they were going to work together.

Valentine returned the smile and stacked out his hand. Marcel glanced at him and waited a second before taking it, but he took it and they shook hands. Valentin came to the conclusion that Prince really was wearing silk gloves under his leather ones. They were soft against his skin. " Nice to meet you, Prince," he offered with a sly smile on his shining face, it was going to be interesting and he really liked to speak in English with him, so he said," Я предпочитаю твой язык (prn: 'YA predpochitayu tvoy yazyk'; means:'I prefer your language')."

Marcel felt unpleasant tickling under his skin, he knew, with valentine he should be always aware. He couldn't trust him to protect his back, but it was going to be interesting and pretty dangerous. He had let the deadly poisonous snake around his neck, now he had to hope that it didn't bite him before he could get hold of his head. " Nice to meet you, Valentine," he meant it.

THEY were surrounded. Messiah had made the plan himself. He knew that the monster wasn't gone yet, he felt it in his bones. He was eager to see him, to catch him and lock him up into a cage. He knew this area well. Messiah had grown up in California, it was his home town. When he was a child he loved those downs and the dangers in them. It was always something different.

They had besieged the so-called 'monster'. He had no way out of it without fighting with them. The only question was, what took him so long to fall into his trap? Should he smoke him out or were he scared. " You better be," Messiah murmured to himself, his eyes were absorbing the dark, he was like the devil himself.

It's officially the end of the first chapter! :D

The second one and third are much more fun, I can promise that.

And I might have just noticed that I used the past and present tense and maybe they are a little messed up. Sorry for that! Once I'll start editing, it'll be going to change ;)
