The Fight

" So Kitty I’ll meet you and Slyther at the new coffee shop tomorrow I promise I won't be late k “.

She scowled ” you better not ditch us, Sapphire, or I will hunt you down and bring you there myself, even if I have to drag you from h**l itself got it “.

" Alright, alright no need to have your claws out Kitty,” I said grinning at her.

She glared at me before spinning and walking away making me want to laugh, Kitty and Slyther are my two best friends since I moved in with the Dalbins two months ago. Kitty when I first met her was like a little kitten that you just want to hug all the time, but as I grew to know her I learned that when provoked the claws come out. Slyther when I first met was this very shy girl and though she still is like that she can be a little outgoing the more you know her she still is quite shy.

Slyther and Kitty had become as soon as I moved here a couple of months ago, at first I just ignored them because when you move around as much as I do you learn there is no reason making friends when you are just going to end up leaving in the end. Kitty was the first one to approach me which isn't a surprise because Slyther is the more shy one of their duo though you wouldn't think that if you get to know her it's like she turns into a totally different person.

I look down at my notebook trying to ignore the world around me when a shadow fell on the picture I was drawing and I looked up to see a girl staring down at me. Her hair was a pale blonde so pale it looked almost see-through, sharp blue eyes, an upturned nose, full lips, high cheekbones, sun-kissed skin, sharp jawline, a 5"8' in height, fully pink clothes, and a pink bookbag with a cat on it. Almost right behind her was another girl who seemed like she didn't want to be here from the way she kept her eyes down.

The shy has light orange hair that seemed a lot like her regular hair, light green eyes, a button nose, full lips, a sharp jawline, a green shirt that says ' I'm a Slytherin ', green sweat pants, a Slytherin bookbag, and a height of 5"4'. The girl with the cat bookbag sat down at the table and said.

" Your Sapphire right I'll call you Saph ".

I frowned " what do you want... Kitty, I'm a little bit busy as you can see " I asked deciding to give her a nickname also.

She grinned at me before gesturing to herself and the other girl " me and Slyther want to be your friend ".

I looked back down at my drawing as I said " I don't need nor do I want any friends ".

" Well, that's too bad because you're getting two today ".

She gestured to the other girl for her to sit down and I had a feeling that they weren't leaving anytime soon so I packed up my stuff and left. I could feel their eyes on me as I walked away to find another place to be alone and draw.

***

It was the end of the day when I met them again, I had put my books in my locker because I didn't want to bring them. Since my locker was blowing my view I couldn't see Kitty walking towards me and I didn't notice she was there until she said.

" So me and Slyther are going to a cafe nearby and you're coming with us ".

" No " was my blunt reply.

I was just about to walk away when she looped her arm around mine and pulled me to where ever she was going. When I tried to pull away from her she tightened her grip and dragged me along to the cafe. She finally let me go when she had ordered all three of us hot chocolate.

I looked around at the cafe wearily because I had never been there before plus I was literally dragged here. It was quite a nice place with booths near the windows, round tables in the middle with five chairs each, pictures of different friends and families lined the light red walls, and at the back a place to order different things like the hot chocolate that Kitty got us.

" So why the hell did you drag me here "?

She looked at me amused " because you are our friend and we wanted to get to know you ".

Instead of arguing like I did before I just sighed and gave in knowing that for once I was not going to be able to chase these people.

******

It took quite a while for me to be able to trust them enough for me to be able to tell anything personal about myself. During that time I learned a bunch of things about my ' friends ' and soon we became actual best friends. Anyways enough talk about my friends, I’m Sapphire and if you haven’t figured this out I’m just gonna go out and say it.

I’m an orphan and I'm in foster care.

My parents died when I was a little girl, they were found in our backyard literally ripped apart I was in my bedroom sleeping away and I wouldn’t wake up until about a week after that. They couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t wake up since I had no noticeable injuries, it was like I was just asleep and I would wake up any second. When I did wake up I of course asked for my parents and what they said next broke me.

******

I slowly sat up and stretched as I yawned still kinda tired, I was woken by the sun shining on my face fr-.

" Oh my goodness you’re awake “.

I blinked and then turned to the direction and I saw a woman in all white holding a tray full of needles, that’s when I noticed I wasn’t in my bedroom but a hospital room. Which caused me to go from tired and calm to wide awake and panicking because I didn’t know why I was here. When she saw the panic look on my face the lady in white placed the tray down and pulled me in her arms slowly rocking me.

" It’s ok darling no need to panic, your ok I'm here for you “.

I slowly started to calm down and soon I was pulling away and smiling at the woman.

" Thank you I feel better now “.

She smiled ” no need to thank me, darling, it’s my job as a nurse to make sure you are all right “.

I nodded before asking ” where are my parents “?

She froze before she gathered the tray and said.

" The doctor will tell after he checks that everything is right with you “.

Before I could say or ask anything she quickly gathered up the tray and left, I only had to wait for a couple of seconds before a man in white came in and for the next hour or so they did all kinds of tests to see if I was alright. When they were finally done I asked the doctor the same thing I asked the nurse.

" Where are my parents “?

He sighed ” I don’t really know how to say this darling but your parents are dead “.

It felt like my whole world crashed over me at those words and then everything started to go black.

******

I’ve never been the same since then I mean what six-year-old kid would be after they were told their parents are dead and they somehow slept right through whatever happened. The only thing that was salvageable was the necklace my Mother was wearing and my father’s knife which was given to me to keep. I learned to deal with it after a while by pushing it to the back of my mind and forgetting about I -.

RINGGGGG.

I jumped as the school bell rings signaling the end of the school day, I quickly got my board out of my locker and ran out because I needed to be at the Dalbins home to talk to my counselor. I usually try to skip out on that but if I try that now she threatened to take me out of that home and if she did I would never see Slyther, and Kitty again. So I’m just gonna suck it up and do it, with a sigh I placed my board down and kicked off.

I shifted to the left and turned into the back road behind the school, I usually take this road because no cars drive on here and I could board on the road if I want. Plus its kind of like a hill so as I ride down my speed will increase and I feel like I’m flying. I stopped at the edge of the hill and was about to kick off when I saw something out of the corner of my eyes, I turned and turned and saw two males and one female in all black surrounding another male.

I usually would leave well enough alone because I didn’t want to get beaten up but the male they are surrounding is my friend Luca. Luca is another foster kid that lives near my foster home he has light blond hair that's always falling into his eyes, light brown eyes that he always keeps hidden, rosy cheeks, sun-kissed skin, a slightly crooked nose probably from the time he got punched by a bully, full lips, height of 5"0', and multi-colored clothes. I slowly walk into the alleyway palming the knife I always carry with me that was my father's.

" Hey, you get away from my friend you bastards “.

They all turned to look at me and I thought Luca smirked for a second but a second later there was a look of pure fear on his face as he said.

" Help me Saph there trying to jump me, I'm really scared “.

With that said I rushed forward to stand by his side but when I took another step the air changed, it was charged electrified and when I looked at Luca he wasn’t Luca anymore. I couldn’t even describe the thing in front of me even if I wanted to, I really don’t though. The thing jumped at me and the instant my skin came in contact with whatever that is it felt like it was being burned off causing me to scream and blackout from the pain.

Zane

I stared as the demon jumps on the girl who was able to cross the border in surprise, no one has ever crossed one of my borders, not even other hunters that I have not allowed to cross. I was finally able to move when I heard the girl scream before blacking out, I went to go help her but before I could the demon on her screeched and jumped off of her. There was smoke coming from the middle of its chest and with one last hiss at us, it took off running, I was debating if I should run after it when Andrew said.

" Hey, guys you might wanna see this “.

I turned to see what he was talking about, he was crouched near the girl who had passed my barrier and there was mist surrounding her that was silver. It started swirling around her and soon it evaporated leaving a girl with silver hair laying on the ground near Andrew, he looked up at me and said.

" I think this is the girl from the prophecy and she got burned by the demon it looks like “.

We made our way over to where the girl was passed out on the ground and saw that her hair was pure silver. She was beautiful with her long silver hair, emerald green eyes, a slightly crooked nose, full lips, a cleft in her chin, a muscular built, a height of what I assume is 5"8'. I wasn't sure if she was the actual girl from the prophecy but to be completely sure that she is the girl from the prophecy I have to take her home so my father can look her over.

So I bent down and picked her up as I said over my shoulder to Andrew and Keys.

" Follow the demon I will take her back to headquarters to get patched up and have my dad figure out if she's the girl from the prophesy ".

Before either of them could protest I was already walking away with the girl in my arms.

Andrew

I glare after Zane as he walks away with the girl with silver hair, I wasn't irritated at him more so at myself for falling in love with a girl. That girl in question being Keys, for me it was love at first sight since the moment she first walked into headquarters.

******

I frowned getting irritated that these new recruits couldn't even make a simple fist, I mean what's so hard about keeping your thumb on the side of your curled up fingers. If you think about it you would understand that you wouldn't enclose your thumb in your fist because if you do when you throw a fist you could break your thumb. I should just let them continue how they were doing it before and they could learn not to do it after they break their thumb, that should kick some sense into them.

Of course, if I did that I would get in trouble with Zane's dad because he would expect them to be trained not have broken thum-. I was jolted out of my thoughts when the front door of our headquarters burst open and there stood a girl with blue hair that was wet from the rain, full lips, a button nose, a cleft in her chin, sun-kissed skin, a what I think is 5"6', her clothes were blue jeans, black combat boots, and a light blue jacket, and around her neck was a necklace of different keys of all different shapes and sixes with runes carved into them. Before I could question her Zane's father had already rushed out of his office with Zane on his heels and rushed to the door.

" Why don't you come into my office to warm up and you could tell me how you came upon this place and why you are here "?

Zane and his father actually look completely alike beside their eyes, Zane's was light blue like his mother's, and his father's eyes were light brown. Besides their eyes, everything else was the same there raven black hair, sun-kissed skin, a crooked nose, a sharp jawline, high cheekbones, full lips, a height of 6"8', and they both like to wear all black clothes. That might be because it's the color many Shadow Hunters use to hide in the shadows. She hesitated for a moment or two before allowing Zane's dad to lead her into his office shutting the door before any of us could follow them in.

They were in his office for quite a while before they came out and he gestured to one of the new female recruits to take her to a spare room before walking over to me and Zane. I thought he would berate us for not starting up training again but instead, he said.

" The girl who just arrived is called Keys and she will be joining you on your different missions ".

Zane frowned " Don't you think she should some training done before she comes out with us "?

" Then you should train her before she has to go out with you because she is going with you ".

We have been stuck with this girl since then and for some reason, I can't keep her from invading my mind through my thoughts. It's getting really irritating but I try to ignore it and I won't take my anger out on Keys because I can't keep her out of my mind. With a sight, I pushed any thought of Keys out of my mind and gestured at her to follow me as I stalked after the demon.

I didn't look back to see if she was following me as I slinked forward into the shadows, it was better if I didn't know if she was really there so she couldn't distract me. We followed the demon into what you would consider the bad side of town with drug dealers on every corner, dirt covering everything and everyone, the air was filled with different smells some familiar and others I'm quite sure I really don't want to know what it is, the stores have broken windows with obscene words written all over in different languages, and don't get me started on the people that live in these parts. None of the people around the demon even noticed it because to the untrained eye it looks like whatever they want them to see them as.

We kept to the shadows so neither of us could be spotted by the demon and I made sure I kept us at least ten feet or more behind the demon. For demon hunters, it's easy for us to melt into the shadows even during the day but I was grateful when it started getting dark because we didn't need to find the shadows as much in the dark. It was completely dark by the time the demon reached its final destination, it was a huge abandoned warehouse that looked like it was on its last leg.

This is why as we followed it inside I thought that it was just using this place as a place to heal before it goes home. That was until we had stepped and what me and Keys saw was something I never thought actually existed.
