Sheila whistled an old nursery tune she had been used to hearing from her human long before the war had happened as she bounced up and down on the seat perched in front of the wagon as it rolled quite noisly along the unevened road, she held on to the reins and did not bother to urge the horse to move faster because the road was a perilous mix of rocks, bumps, holes and sharp objects, she could not risk loosing a wheel or waking up the humans, but then she was sure that the bumpy ride must have woken them up already. 

She knew that if they were already awake, then they would not scream or shout because they would most definitely believe they were in a demon's wagon so what they might do, or would do would be to find a means of escape without her knowing about it. Now that she thought about that, she remembered that she did not tie them up and now thinking about it maybe she should, else they might escape from her and walk right into another danger, but then again, it was not

  • Hunter's Chorus   Ben

    Smokes was not the kind of place to be opened during the day and Liam was grateful for that. He sat on the bar stool beside Leticia who did not feel quite comfortable in the bar, it reeked of alcohol and vomit and was really stuffy. She noticed that the windows were kept shut and the only light here came from the red bulbs hanging on different places in the ceiling, that sort of amazed her because it made her wonder how they could have managed to get electricity running in here, but it was still relatively dark and you could not tell if it was day or night outside from in here.She shifted uncomfortably in her seat and reached for the bottle of asphax that was still tied to her waist, wondering if she should apply more. She looked up over the counter, the demon girl whom she had come to know as Phidian was busy fixing them coffee, she had her back to her. Leticia squeezed the bottle of asphax in her hand."You're fine." She heard Liam's voice say to her in her head. She glance

  • Hunter's Chorus   Stay Wity Me

    Both Phidian and Leticia kept quiet when Liam walked back inside. Leticia held her cup on her laps and wound both hands round the smooth body, letting the heat warm her hands. She could not drink this, it was too bitter and she suspected that this demon girl had purposely made it as so, she eyed her from the corner of her eyes and frowned. If she could not drink it at least it is would serve another purpose of making her palm and fingers warm.She watched Liam sit with a sigh, placing both of his hands on the counter and resting on them for a while then he lifted his head and fixed a soft gaze on Phidian. Phidian who was caught unawares because her eyes were also on him began to feel somewhat uncomfortable, she blinked repeatedly and blushed heavily, momentarily looking away from him."Th...thank you." She muttered."Hmm." He blinked. "Thank me for what?"Phidian pointed towards the door and added. "For getting rid of Ben.""Ohh that..." He waved a hand. "Ben is

  • Hunter's Chorus   The House Of Krane

    Ben got up from the ground, dusting himself and grumbling as he did. His jaw ached him terribly and his elbow was slightly bruised from hitting the ground too hard when Liam had flung him out carelessly. He wiped whatever little blood sipped out from the injury onto his trousers and cursed some more at Liam.It was still quite early for anyone or rather, any thing as he loved to call the demons, to come into Smokes and the place around the bar was deserted of beings so no one witnessed him being flung out or it would have been more humiliating. He stood at the door for a while, knowing that the could not go inside any more, at least for now or Liam would do worse and he cursed.The renegade Angel he had come to hate was always seen around Phidian and it irked him that Liam had latched himself into her, what exactly was going on between those two, he did not know but he hated that fact that they had become close. They had become way too close for comfort. He knew there wa

  • Hunter's Chorus   Staying Together

    Now there are rules you will have to abide by if you are to stay here with me." Liam spoke to Leticia while he sat with his legs crossed and placed on the table.He watched as the girl took in all of her surroundings with her eyes and she loved every where but where he was, she was feeling uncomfortable having just him with her, that much he could pick from the feelings swimming around her which was so evident to him.What had he been thinking when he had offered his place for her to stay?!He had not been thinking, it was the cursed feeling he always felt when she was involved, caused by the bond which they now shared. He hated that feeling because it always spoke out in favor of his human and usually, his brain would go dumb and he would be unable to fight the urge to help her and to keep her safe. Him having a human right now with the way the world was like this, was like having a child running around a play ground full of broken bottles, and he was the unrel

  • Hunter's Chorus   In The Mountains

    Leo opened his eyes to a dark sky sprinkled with so many tiny stars that shone and glimmered, he welcomed the cool breath of fresh air that sipped though this nostrils and into his lungs, his chest heaved in a lengthy intake of air and dropped back down as he breathed out.The air out here was cold, he could feel it despite the thick cloak that wrapped him from his shoulders to his feet, he wiggled his feet beneath the cloak, no shoes. Yes that was right, he had lost his shoes after his capture, how was it t that he only noticed that now? and the cloak did very little or nothing to stop the chills from engulfing his feet but to the left of him he could feel some warmth. He turned.He was greeted by the warm, orange glow of a burning fire and although the fire was small, it managed to warm the most part of the left side of his body a bit despite the small distance placed in between them. Taking a palm to his left cheek he felt the warmth there which contrasted t

  • Hunter's Chorus   Alternative

    Ben was not exactly thrilled about returning back to master Renard, mostly because he did not know how he would face him with the news of what Master Krane had said, but he knew that he had to. He had to deliver the message given to him by Master Krane for the mighty Arch Angel Renard, but... what would he say? How would he say it? How the hell would he even begin? To say that the potion was not ready would actually not be so bad, but then to say that the most important ingredient needed in mixing the potion was unavailable, to say that it had not yet been found and or might never be found because Ben himself knew of how rare that particular ingredient that was needed was.Usually, before now and as it had already been, all the potions which had been made and used in keeping Renard stable and sane had come from Master Krane as he was the only demon to master all the arts of sorcery,witch craft, black magic and the rest of the dark ways. He had been the one to know how to get al

  • Hunter's Chorus   The Nadris

    The life of a prey and a predator runs in an everlasting cycle of survival and just as smaller prey animals were being hunted by other larger predator animals and by humans, the same happens in the world of the supernatural and sometimes, this is where the natural and the supernatural collide, this is where reality meets mythical. Whether it was for food or it was for sport or maybe it was for other motives, it went on and on and would not stop as it is blended into nature, balanced or imbalanced.Humans hunted animals, demons hunted humans, Angels hunted demons and the Angel hunters were a group of mix breed shape shifters who called themselves, the Nadris. But the Nadris were not limited to just Angels, these never before seen and hardly heard of hiddedn creatures could hunt and capture any creature if they wanted to, they were like the police force of the mythical creatures, only that they were not myths, they were just extremely well hidden and it was easy too.N

  • Hunter's Chorus   Guardian

    "... Liam." Phidian called loudly, raising her voice above the noise and loud music of the bar but only just enough that he could hear her, she shoved him lightly by the shoulder. Liam blinked twice then rose his head to look at her."Where did you go?" She inquired, leaning in a bit closer."What do you mean?" He half smiled and downed the last gulp of the barley. "I am right here, seated here, or am I not?"Phidian dropped the empty tray she had been holding and pulled a seat closer to Liam and sat. She placed her left palm on his right forearm and felt his biceps flex beneath her touch, he was nervous, that much she could tell and it worried her because Liam was not one to be nervous."Liam...""I feel suffocated." He cut her off. "I need some air.""Then let us step out." She held him by the hand, pulling him out of his seat and manoeuvred them both around the drunk and loud demons chattering away in the bar until they were out.They walked aro

    Demon Renard immediately crumbled to the floor as he felt some part of him drain away, he looked on helplessly at Liam on the floor and the dead girl in his arms, unable to even approach them. When Liam's sword had peirced through the heart of the girl, he had felt the excruciating pain, he had felt something tear away from him and the hold he had over the girl had vanished quickly as well. He had expected that the much larger part of him in the girl would rush straight into him but he did not feel that happen, rathe he had felt weakened, like the sword had also peirced through the Angel's body too.Master Krane had immediately rushed to his side when he saw him crumble to the floor, weak, but he did not need th demon's sympathy and would have dug his whole hand into the chubby demon's stomach and ripped out all its guts if he had the strength to. What he wanted was strength, what he wanted was power, to feel powerful again. He calmed down and breathed steadily as he watched the

  • Hunter's Chorus   An Angel's Duty

    Liam was taken aback by what he just heard Leticia say and he stood a while, shocked band dumbfounded."Now," she had said. "Let us get this over with, shall we? I have a world to dominate."Demon Renard smirked and slowly backed off with a low bow, Master Krane did the same. Liam looked around at the two of them and then back to Leticia. The girl in front of him was Leticia but what ever was inside her was not, it was something he did not know and that thing also could not recognize him."Leticia, snap out of this, this is not you!" Liam spoke to her in his thoughts.Leticia heard him, or more like the first spirit that had taken over her, heard him and laughed. "She is no longer here Angel, she is gone and will be gone forever.""Leticia," Liam continued in his thoughts as they both circled each other. "I know you are in there. Listen to me."He watched her walk ever so slowly, like a predator checking out the weak parts of its prey. The green scaly s

  • Hunter's Chorus   Ambushed

    "Why did you do that?" Sheila asked Scott the question as soon as Liam had left them. He had flown off in a rush, barely taking two steps to get away from them before spreading his wings wide and flying off, it had hit Scott with a powerful slap to the arm, sending him down to the ground and he still could feel the pain from it. Liam had not noticed, and even if he did, he had been too concerned about Leticia to pause and offer an apology, Scott did not even take offense in it, he knew the Angel had to hurry off. He got up and dusted himself."Why did I do what?" He asked back, not quite sure of what Sheila was talking about."Betray your kind." She replied.Scott looked at her with a questioning look. "Betray my kind? I never betray my kind. What are you talking about?"Sheila frowned. "So you mean you lied to Liam?!" She was getting angry. "You lied to him and you sent him over to Renard's?!"Scott was a bit confused. "Wait, now hold up, I..." But Sheila w

  • Hunter's Chorus   Choices

    Leticia struggled to breathe, something was happening to her body but she did not know what exactly it was, all she knew was that she was not ok. Her heart pounded loudly and without rythm, her head was spinning and she could barely understood what she saw in front of her, her hearing was distant and echoing and she felt her real self, her own conscience slipping away."Mine." She heard the demon say."Mine." She heard from within her.The demon suddenly turned away from her and took a step to the side. She saw an Angel rush in and come to a stop, staring at them with every look of shock and anger and surprise and when he finally looked at her, he buckled and almost fell but managed to hold himself up using his sword. He looked hurt and disappointed and pained on seeing her but she could not really understand why.She saw him but did not know who he was, she knew she had seen him once or twice before but could not exactly place where she had seen him. Her head po

  • Hunter's Chorus   Binding Ritual

    Master Krane walked up to Leticia on the table who was still struggling to balance between being conscious and drifting into unconsciousness. Krane needed her to be awake, he needed her to be very conscious and to do that he had to awaken the dormant half spirit of Gates in her, the same spirit that was toiling through Renard's body to take control.Krane glanced over at Renard who had fully transformed into a demon now but was still withering on the floor like he was trying to stop whatever was trying to take control over his body. Krane smirked and turned to face Leticia, she was the last and final piece to complete this puzzle. He just needed a final human to sacrifice.Almost immediately, as if on cue, Ben walked into the house and on seeing the gruesome creature, rolling on the floor which had a very striking resemblance to his Master Renard, he screamed out."M... Master Krane..!?" He did not exactly know what to say, he just could not believe what was happening

  • Hunter's Chorus   A Nadri's Humanity

    The girl was extremely light in Scott's arms, she did not weigh any thing and Scott felt like he was carrying paper. He held her close to himself for fear of the wind just picking her up and out of his arms. He watched her as they walked from the Nadris headquarters to Renard's place, the journey was a long one through the forest but none of them complained of fatigue, well, none of the two of them because Renard had left them to walk while he flew away, constantly swooping up ahead of them to circle them above before flying off for a few minutes only to come back again, repeating the same routine over and over.Scott looked up at Renard flying in the sky, his wings radiated the moon's light and he had to admit that it looked very beautiful to the eyes. He looked back down and sighed, this has been the longest night he had ever seen and he began to wonder when it would be over. The girl whimpered slightly in his arms and stirred, he looked at her and then to Master Krane as the

  • Hunter's Chorus   Cured

    Ben knocked slightly on Krane's door. He shook in his knees, he did not want to come here ever again after what had happened the last time with that ridiculously annoying Imp that the demon kept as a pet, but if all worked well then this would be the last time he would be here but then Renard had told him to come over here and tell Master Krane that the mixed blood girl had been found when she really has not been.Or has Renard found her?The door opened and Ben almost jumped in fright. He looked in and could see nothing but darkness, he could hear the Imp's laughter and he shivered, he would have to do this. He breathed in and stepped in."M... Master Krane?""Tell me this is good news Ben or my Imp will...""We found the girl." Ben said in a rush, cutting the demon off. He slapped his palm against his mouth and prayed for his life."What did you say? Of what importance is a girl to me right now?!" He yelled.Ben swallowed. "The... The mixed blood. We have a mi

  • Hunter's Chorus   Without Her

    Liam panicked, he hesitated for a second wondering if he had heard clearly. It was her voice and she had called out to him for help. He stumbled backwards but caught himself from falling, Renard stared at him for a while before bursting out into a laugh."How gullible." He said. Liam snapped and charged at him in anger. Renard slipped off the sofa just in time as Liam's sword cut clean into it but he did not attack Renard any further. They both stared at each other for a while, Renard in shock and panick at his near death escape and Liam in pure anger."I will come back for you Renard, and that is my promise to you." Liam said and rushed out of the house, taking to the skies immediately.Renard, a little bit shaken from Liam's last action, stood up from the floor and adjusted himself. He should get going now to the Nadris and he would inform Master Krane too about this so that he could begin the process of making the potion. Finally, after these long years, he would b

  • Hunter's Chorus   Tricked

    "Why do you think I called you to meet me here?" Dan had said.Liam thought on it for a while but he could not make much sense out of it, if Renard had called him here for them to settle their differences once and for all then he would gladly oblige, he would end everything here and now. He took a defensive position and walked round as the two Angels slowly circled each other.Renard smirked as he watched Liam, the Angel was clueless as to why hee had called him to come here rather than to fish him out. He had wanted Liam as far away as possible from his own place, he had wanted him as far away as possible from the mixed blood female with him, he had done his part by bringing Liam out, now the rest was up to Dan to complete."Maybe I will have to kill you, I will have my way and I will have her and there will be nothing you do about that!""I dare you to try renard." Liam fumed. Renard lifted his sword and charged at Liam with all fury.Bot
