A New Kind of Good *Chapter 2*
|
When I got back to the house, I saw that the light was on. “Jenna must be home for once,” I mumbled under my breath. Usually I was alone at night, because when she usually went out for the night, she didn’t come back until the next morning.
I walked up the steps and to the door, and tried to open it, but it was locked. I took out my keys, unlocked it and went in. “Hey Jenna,” I said as I went passed the living room. She was in there watching one of her TV programs.
“So I guess you finally got rid of the demon you’ve been obsessing over for so long,” she said as she came out into the hallway behind me as I started up the stairs.
“How can you tell?” I asked sarcastically, not bothering to stop.
“For one, you are covered in guts. And two, you’re not grumbling about catching that stupid demon anymore,” she said following me.
“I see. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I want to take a shower so I won’t be covered in demon guts anymore,” I said walking into the bathroom and shutting the door.
I walked over to the shower and closed the curtain and turned the water on. I let it heat up while I stripped so I can just put my clothes down there when I come back from my demon hunting trips.
I got into the shower and just let the water run down my body for a few minutes. I just sat there, thinking. I couldn’t believe that Carrie, my mentor and second mom, was actually gone, as in never coming back. Damn that bastard demon for killing her. Next week was going to be her 50th birthday, and I had something special planned for her. It was all just a waste of time.
Why didn’t I know sooner that she was killed? All the time I was watching him, I never saw her around him. It just couldn’t be, but it was. I even went over to her apartment to check if she was there, but there was no answer. It was 10:30, and I knew for a fact that she always went to bed at 11. Never earlier, never later. She was also a light sleeper, and me knocking on the door would have woken her up.
I broke down and cried over her being gone. There was nothing else I could do to mourn her, since the rat of a demon ate her. I wouldn’t even be able to give her a proper burial. I changed my thoughts to other matters so I wouldn’t be that depressed. Anyways, now I could finally rest after months of restlessness. Tomorrow I would call the people so I could get paid and see if they had anything else for me to do.
I hopped out of the shower and wrapped my robe around me as I opened the door and headed for my room. I quietly closed my door behind me and flopped down on my bed. I was still a little sad, so I quickly jumped into my pajamas and went downstairs into the kitchen and got out the tub of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, vanilla flavored.
I was about to dig in when Jenna walked in. “Dish. What’s wrong?” she asked propping her elbows on the counter while leaning on them and looking at me.
“What do you mean what’s wrong?” I asked shoving a spoonful into my mouth. “Maybe I just wanted some ice cream,” I said as I stuck my spoon back in for more.
“Come on Laney,” she said using my nickname. “You never eat ice cream out of the carton unless you’re upset about something. What’s wrong?” she asked coming around the counter to stand by me.
I set the ice cream on the counter as I turned to face the wall, placing my hands on the edge of the counter. “That son of a bitch killed her,” I whispered fiercely clenching my fists.
“Wait, what?” Jenna asked in shock.
“That demon bastard killed Carrie!” I yelled as I turned around and sunk to the floor and started crying again.
“Oh honey,” she said as she sat down next to me and hugged me. Her hugging me made me cry even harder. When I looked over at her, I saw tears streaming down her face too.
Jenna met Carrie a few times when she came over for the holidays. Carrie would always take care of us and baby us since she had no kids of her own. Once in a while Jenna would go with me when I went to visit her. So it made sense that she was upset too.
We just sat there and cried for a good while. It was nice to have someone to share my pain with.
“I know she was like a mother to you,” Jenna said putting an arm around my shoulder, and giving it a slight shake. “At least the bastard got what was coming to him,” she muttered.
I chuckled, since Jenna usually never swears. “That he did,” I said standing up. “I think that now I am going to go to bed and call the people tomorrow. Good night Jenna.”
“Night. Alania?” she said unsure of herself. “I love you.”
I stopped and turned back and smiled. “I love you too Jen.”
“Sisters?” she asked timidly.
“Sisters,” I said grinning. I turned around and went upstairs to my room. As I went into my room and closed the door behind me, I felt dizzy and suddenly collapsed to the floor.
When I opened my eyes, I was outside. As I looked around, there were giant stones going around in a circle. For a moment, I thought I was at the Stonehenge, but that couldn’t be possible, could it? But then again, since I am a witch, anything is possible.
“My dear, you are so much more than a witch,” a voice said in the darkness. “In fact, you are the most powerful witch that exists.”
“Who are you?” I said, getting ready to fight.
“There is no need to fight me,” said a figure as they stepped out from behind one of the giant stones. They were dressed in an all black robe, and they had their hood up. “I am Tristan,” he said removing his hood. He had short black hair that was spiked up, and from what I could tell from where I was standing, dark brown eyes. I would peg him at about 6’ 4”.
“Where exactly are we and why are we here?” I asked letting my guard down.
“We are at the Stonehenge, and we are here to help you work on your powers,” he said with amusement.
My suspicion about being at the Stonehenge was right then. “Wait, did you say work on my powers? In case you haven’t noticed, I don’t have any,” I laughed.
“Alania,” he said shaking his head. “You do have powers, but you just haven’t discovered them yet. They are deep within you, waiting to be freed. With the summer solstice approaching, it will help you to find your powers and make them stronger. And being here at the Stonehenge will help give them that extra boost,” he said coming closer to me.
“You’re telling me that I have powers? But why are you only telling me now? Why did you have to wait until now to help me with my powers? I could have saved Carrie from that, that… ARGH!” I screamed stomping my foot and spinning in a circle.
“We tried to help you before, but when they talked to Carrie about it, she wouldn’t let us anywhere near you. She wanted you to find your powers on your own. But we can’t wait around anymore,” he said stopping right in front of me.
“Why can’t you wait anymore?” I said sarcastically.
“The Guardians, whom I work for, are able to see into the future. They saw that in the near future, one of the most powerful and evil being is going to return to this world. If you do not have your powers by then, the world will undergo great chaos and surge into darkness. We need you Alania,” he said staring intensely at me.
“I see,” I said sitting on the ground. “First, I want to know more about the Guardians before we begin working on my powers.”
He smirked. “The Guardians are a high power. They make sure that the balance between good and evil is in check. They have been keeping an eye on you for quite a while, to make sure that you don’t get into any trouble and that nothing bad happens to you. Your work earlier tonight was very entertaining to watch.”
“You were watching me?” I blushed at the thought of what I was doing earlier. “What all did you see?”
“I saw you at the club, both on and off the dance floor,” he said crossing his arms. “A very interesting tactic you have there,” he smirked.
“I was just luring him in with bait, so he wouldn’t go after another victim,” I said giving him my best evil glare.
“Do you do that with all demons you hunt?” he asked turning around and walking away from me.
“No, I don’t. That was only a one-time thing,” I said looking away.
“Good, because I was afraid that I would be working with a whore,” he said as he stopped to turn around and face me.
“I am not a whore! You jackass!” I yelled clenching my fists together. My rage overcame me, and the next thing I knew my hands were lit with fire, but it wasn’t burning me. “Whoa,” I said as I held my hands up to examine them.
“Oh that’s scary. Your hands light on fire. How will you be able to use that from far away? Not all demons you hunt are going to let you get close enough to touch them. I’d say that what you have right now is pretty useless,” he said as he leaned up against a rock.
“Useless my ass,” I muttered as I balled my hands into fists, getting ready to punch the arrogant smirk off his face. Suddenly, there was a ball of fire in my hand.
“Good, now we’re getting somewhere. Try throwing them somewhere,” he said full of encouragement.
I was really getting sick of his attitude, so without warning I threw it towards him with all my might. He ducked away from it just in time.
“That was great. I didn’t expect you to progress so quickly. Try to make another fire ball,” he demanded.
Within 5 seconds, I had another fireball in hand, ready to go. I tossed it up and down in my hand as if it were a baseball. “What do you want me to do with it now?” I asked smugly.
He just gulped. “Um, I think that we are done for now. We will continue with trying to bring out your other powers at another time. If you just crush the ball, it will go out,” he said with a hint of fear in his voice.
I laughed as I crushed the fireball in my hand. “I want to know one more thing before we’re done. How is it possible that we’re here at the Stonehenge, when the last thing I remember was falling asleep in my room,” I said crossing my arms over my chest.
“When you dream, your conscious is susceptible to receiving images sent to you by someone else,” he said.
“So otherwise, this is basically another dream,” I said confused.
“Not really. Your body is still at home in your bed, while your mind and spirit are here, so that when you wake up, you should still be able to do what you did here.”
“I guess that makes sense. There’s just one more thing though Tristan,” I said smiling.
“What is it?” he said staring at me.
“Don’t ever piss me off again,” I said as I formed a fireball and tossed it up in the air, where it landed only inches away from him.
“I’ll do whatever it takes to get your powers to come out, even if it means pissing you off,” he said getting in my face.
“Trust me, you do not want to be on my bad side after tonight. After I lost Carrie, I am merciless, and training with me will be almost like hell,” I said glaring up at him.
We just stood there glaring at each other, sizing each other up. “And trust me, if anything happens to me, you will get a new person to help you train, and they won’t be as easy on you as I am. Plus, I’m the best that they have,” he said with a smug look.
“Don’t act so smug. If you’re the best they have, then why were you scared when I threw the fireball at you?” I asked raising an eyebrow.
“Well, who knows what you can do with your new found power? It’s best to be cautious,” he said matter-of-factly.
“Ok, I’m getting sick of this. Can I go now?” I whined.
“Fine. Just close your eyes and reopen them, and you should be back in your own room.”
“I better be,” I mumbled. I did as he said and closed my eyes. I waited 10 seconds, and when I opened them back up, I was back in my own room. I looked at my clock and and saw that it was nearly 6:30 in the morning.
“Wow, time passed by really fast. It didn’t even feel like I was sleeping,” I said yawning and sitting up. “I wonder if…,” I said as I clenched my hand and there poofed a fireball. “What do you know? I really can do it,” I said surprised. I closed my hand and it went out. I looked down at my blanket cover and saw that there were burn marks where my hands were previously laying.
I was still a bit tired, so I lied down and went back to sleep, wondering what would happen next.
