Birthright (A Constantine Fanfic)

Apprentice

Chas Kramer's cab was in front of a building, I was in the backseat with my head out the window. Our mentor, Mr. John Constantine was in the building performing an exorcism. He said we weren't ready to actually demon hunt until he thinks we are. 

*Flashback*

I was with my buddies at a bar, I maybe under 21 but I got a fake ID. Me and my buddies saw Mr. Constantine in the bar from us smoking a cigarette and drinking a shot of whiskey.

"Shit dude, look who it is?" Snake asked.

"Who's that?" I asked.

"That's John Constantine, the demon hunter and detective. I heard he's a grump, mean man!"

"That's Constantine, I never seen him in person before," One of my buddies said.

"I heard it's so cool to do what he does, we could go and ask him right now if we could be his intern."

"Snake, what if he's so much of an ass, he doesn't want to take any of us in?"

"At least one of us has the guts to do this."

Snake picked one of us at random.

"Eeny meeny miny moe, catch a demon by the toe, if it hollers, tell it to go."

He landed on me.

"Raven, you go."

I sighed and got up, I slowly walked to the bar stools where he was and sat by him.

"Bottle of beer please?" I asked the bartender.

He nodded. I looked at Mr. Constantine and smiled to be friendly, he gave me a small smile and got back to his business. He was a handsome guy and I know he's friendly with the ladies but had that same edgy expression as before right after giving me a smile. All of a sudden, I was reading his mind. 

"Why is this girl sitting by me of all spots here?" I heard him think.

Telepathy, I never knew I had mind powers. I took a sip of my beer think what I could be if being a demon hunter and being a psychic could bring, that would be pretty cool.

"Mr. Constantine, I'm sorry to bother you. You want me to move?"

He looked at me, sighed, and shook his head.

"You don't have to. You seem to be quiet most times."

"Yeah you're right. That answer was a lie, I read your mind."

He glared at me, I leaned in to whisper.

"I just discovered I got telepathy."

"You read my mind. What am I thinking right now?"

"You thought about why I'm sitting by you of all seats. I just now discovered my powers, it's cool man. Yeah, I'm sitting by you because I have a reason."

"And what is that reason?"

"I thought it would be awesome if I could ask you to train me to be a demon hunter like you."

"It's a dangerous job, especially for a young girl like you."

"You think it's too dangerous for me? I once caught a snake with my bare hands and ate it."

He raised an eyebrow.

"Demon hunting is more dangerous than snake hunting, I assure you."

"I'm a brave girl Mr. Constantine, I think I can handle this, especially after finding out I have psychic abilities. Let me see if I have telekinesis, if I do, you could let me join you. Deal?"
