Chapter 1
I´m alive but somehow I´m dead in the epic moment of my death I made a deal with the devil and he sent me back or maybe it was god I didn´t exactly ask all I know is that I´m back and on a mission.
I still remember the first day when I saw it.
The club was in an ordinary neighbourhood next to a Music store and a tatooparlor and if I had been more attentive I might have realised that something was wrong but I had pursued the ghoul all afternoon and I was starting to get impatient.
Ghosts, devils no problem those you could reason with but ghouls was to stupid to listen to reason to clever to stand still when you try to exorcise them and to menacing to leave alone. Wich was why I had followed this particular ghoul to a neighbourhood that I was not familiar with.
I checked my bag again just to make sure I got everything with me holy water wich was useless in this case , chalk , sage and what I was looking for my box with willow ash.
I took up a thin dagger and sprinkled some ash on it before I hid the dagger in my sleeve.
I looked up and saw the ghoul enter a club.
Perfect of course this annoying phantom had to enter a place with civilians.My sixth sense told me to stop dilly-dally and get a move on and vaporise the ghoul before it got away again.
I sighed before I hurried to the club.Sometimes I wished that this voice I heard from time to time to just shut up and do it itself. I didn´t really know if it was my thoughts I heard or if someone was just talking inside my mind.
Ever since the accident I have had this voice inside my mind telling me to go after supernatural creatures and keep them in check it was as if I had become some kind of supernatural policeforce wich I hadn´t exactly been recruited for.
I opened the door to the club and saw a bar , a dancefloor and a second floor wich considered the staircase was being watched by a guard probably was some kind of VIP- section. I wondered how I would get up to the second floor if I had to and what would I do if the ghoul attacked someone in here? I looked towards the bar and back towards the stairs again. Just my luck who would hire a Vampire as a bartender?
"Someone with refined taste and wonderful looks"
I spun around and almost stabbed the guy who was standing behind me.
He caught my dagger between his fingers and I backed away when I saw that the dagger started to melt in his hands. I quickly touched my pentagram I had around my neck.
"O wicked being who resides in darkness I beseight thee to flee this place and return to thy master"
I felt my necklace grew warm and how a pentagram formed around the guy before smoke started to form around him. I slowly backed away and felt how my necklace was ripped from my neck. I looked to my left and had just time to registrate the vampire before he hit me and then I couldn´t see anything.
I groaned and looked around I was lying in an unknown room on a black leather sofa to my left I saw a table with a glass of white liquid. I smelled it but could only sense the smell of medicin and sinse my inner voice didn´t scream danger I concluded it was safe for me to drink. I drank it and felt the pounding in my head slowly lessen and managed to sit up. I looked around and realised that I was in some kind of office. My bag was next to me so I looked through it and picked up an obsidian dagger since the first dagger was completely useless against the devil.
I tried the door and found that it was locked I looked at it really the geniuses had locked the door but forgotten to spell the lock I mean seriously did they think that demonhunters only relied on spells to work. Ok some did but unfortunately for these people I was not one of them. I reached inside my hair and took up a few hairpins and started to work with the lock. When a tiny click could be heard from the lock I quickly opened the door and looked out I was standing in a long corridor but the music could be heard and the lights was seen to my left so I walked and find myself at the top of the VIP- stairs.
The guard had left so I simply jumped down on to the floor.
"A drink ?"
A glass with blue shimmering liquid was suddenly in my hand.
"Don´t worry it contains no alcohol so you don´t have to worry about sideeffects"
"What about poison do you put that in the drinks as well" I sad and put the drink on the counter.
"Thats rude I know Regans drinks are to die for but to accuse them for containing poison is just bad manners on your part"
I looked to my left and saw the same guy I had stabbed before his green cateyes identified him to me as a devil he wore a black suit and silver jewlery.
He was clearly a strong one since my dagger or the pentagram had worked against him.
"What now pentagram or banishing spells this time?"
I picked up the drink.
"They don´t work on you"
He started to applaude.
"True and I can give you another hint that obsidian dagger that you hold won´t work on me either"
I clenched my fist around it and wanted to punch him so badely his cocky attitude was getting on my nerves.
"Tezca try not to be rude towards the exorcist"
The vampire handed him a red drink and raised his hand towards me.
"Hello my name is Regan Night "
I looked at him and glanced at the devil.
"Tezca"
He shrugged and picked up his drink and drank.
" You don´t mean Tezcatlipoca?"
He started to cough and exchanged a glance with the vampire.
"You have me at a disatvantage young lady you know my name but I don´t know yours?"
"Saya"
"Im impressed you actally gave him your real name most humans don´t give their real name for fear of being used or posessed"
I looked towards the stairs and turned to the vampire again.
"Can you get me another drink please"
I handed him some money and he went towards the bar and handed me another drink.
"Hello Mikael not the last place I thought I would see you at but your cutting it close"
"Oh Saya same as before , one part politeness , one part darkness and eight parts rudness"
He looked the same as last time I saw him, a young albino man with a cross around his neck and that annoying righteousness that made me wanna puke.
Tezca looked at Mikael and started laughing.
"So you two know eachother how did that happened darling"
I looked at Mikael and he mouthed you.
"Ok first of all don´t call me darling and second car accident a coma and Mikael who tried to take me to heaven or wherever human souls go when the human bits the dust"
"And that didn´t work and when you woke up you became an exorcist and started to clean up the neighbourhood with your weapons and true sight"
I turned the straw from my glass and nodded.
"wow good for you its always inspiring when someone fights against his or hers destiny and soldiers on"
Mikael went to the bar and asked for a whisky.
"My goodness I turned the high and mighty archangel to turn to drinks whats next seduce the young maidens and lads and defile their innocents?"
"Tezca behave there´s a lady present" Mikael took his whisky and drank it.
I´m sorry but the ghoul I was following has left the building"
That´s what led you to end up here?"
I stood up and grabbed my backpack.
"Wait"
I looked at Mikael who handed me a card wich I slipped into my pocket without looking at it.
Without looking at the weird people I hurried towards the exit and started walking home.
I had apparently spent more time in that weird club than I thought because the sun had disappeared and the moon was slowly rising.
Lovely now it started to get cold as well and the wind tossed my blond hair.
I walked as fast as I could without running I had ended up in quite somedistant from my apartment but I kept going because the last bus had already gone and the next one was a nightbus and it was two hours until they started.
When I started to recognize the buildings I started to run but came to a quick stop. I looked towards the building and tried to registrate what I saw my home was going up in flames.
