Devil's Promise

" Have you ever seen a monster before? I mean a real monster. Not the glowing eyes in your closet, not the little growler under your bed. I'm talking about real monsters, the kind that looks like you and me. They could be your boss, they could be your co-workers, hell they could even be your best friend and next-door neighbor. You wouldn't notice them after all, they hide in plain sight, blending in with you and me. The government hides them but I can help you find them. All you have to do is come on down to Keith's hunting school, only pay- " The broadcast is cut off with a harsh push of a button, a tattooed hand stretched in the direction of the small black TV." Fuckin idiots, don't you got anything better to do than try to scam people in the morning." The female under the covers grumbles dropping the remote onto the dark brown wooden floor. The curtains are drawn blocking any of the early morning sunlight, and with the TV off the room is now covered in complete darkness.

" This is ridiculous, no trails anywhere." Aiden sighs as she picks herself up from the dirt road. She had come into a small community where the disappearances happened. From what she had heard kids were taken from all over the small town. No real connection between them, other than the fact that the kids ranged from ages seven to thirteen. She had investigated all of the kidnapping sights with no luck, other than the slightly rotted ground which helped nothing.Seeing her dead-end she decides to call the only person she can bounce ideas off of. She taps the screen of the silver device and holds it in front of her with her left hand. It rings continuously, longer than any other time she's called before." Are you in trouble?" Roman's voice booms over the speakerphone." Jeez could you answer any later, I was starting to think you were going to try avoiding me." her gaze switching back to the rotten ground before her." Well after our little… discus

Bullets fly around the church as Aiden rains down fire at everyone in her sight. Multiple of the white-cloaked people falling over in pain or death. The leader of the group who had jumped from his place slammed his clawed hand down into the floor. A wave of dark green rushing through the ground. The wooden floor immediately begins to rot and it's color and form shift. The smooth brown blocks rip apart violently as they turn black. Aiden is forced to jump onto one of the church's chandeliers before the wave can crash into her.The corrupting force spreads to the entire ground area swallowing the benches, pillars, and anything else in its path. " This is going to be extremely annoying," Aiden says to herself as she reloads her pistols." I agree. You've killed my crew. I was hoping to quickly dispose of you, Blood Raven." The masked man states, completely unbothered by the corrosive force he's standing in." You know me?" Aiden asks preparing herself

It was just any other day in Roman's bar. People were cheering as they got drunk off their asses. His waitresses and waiters having a fun time socializing and handing out food and drinks to everyone. However there was one problem, the only person not enjoying the cheerful atmosphere was Roman himself. Throughout the night as his regulars poured in and filled the bar to full capacity, Roman kept his eyes on the door always waiting for one person to walk through.His phone never left his sight. Even as he made everyone's orders he always kept the screen where he could see it." Where are you damn it? This is supposed to be a B-rank mission." He thought to himself as he focused all his attention on his phone. His palms mildly sweat as he waits for Aiden's call, or text, or anything really. His employees had taken up any new orders in his stead, all of them being used to his distracted nature whenever Aiden was on a hunt.Roman sat in the bar waiting. Even after his

Her body was encompassed by a strong feeling as she began to awaken. It felt like her spirit was gripped tight and raised back into its vessel known as her body. Aiden groans at the pounding in her head. Her eyes are assaulted by the light coming through a window on her right. Raising herself and her hands shoot towards her stomach as it releases a stabbing amount of pain into her system. Forcing herself through the discomfort she makes her way to her feet, her right hand is being used to help keep her balance." Damn, guess I was in worse shape than I thought." She mutters to herself as she makes her way to the door. As her hand grasps the doorknob Aiden's mind finally balances itself and she begins to take in her surroundings. The room is completely white with nothing in it but the bed she had just come from, a table, a few chairs, and a window. Her outfit had been changed for a loose-fitting white shirt and light blue sweatpants." Where am I?" She questions before
