Silky and smooth

After I cried my eyeballs out I noticed something. First thing was that I was 20 but, living with my mom. Well, I wasn’t 20 yet. I was hoping to spend my 20th birthday with my mom this July. I shook my head. It’s not possible now. And I was complaining about being an orphan when I was already legal to move. Wow! I feel so pathetic. No wonder Eva didn’t pity me. Not that I cared for her pity. I mean what person who is basically 20 complains about being an orphan!? That is so juvenile. I ran my hands through my head. I guess I would be living here. I didn’t want to but, I didn’t have anything. And I refuse to go back to that house. The second thing I noticed was that my feet didn’t hurt at all. I mean I thought they would be all bandaged up like my arm but, they were clear of scars or anything. I had to ask Eva or somebody about the stuff they use to heal so quickly. I mean they couldn’t do that to my arm? What a pack of assholes. I sighed and got out of the bed. If I’m staying here I’m not going to freeload. I had the day off of work today but, the way the place looked I need to consider another job. I need to ask Wright about how much I should pay for rent. Wright seemed like the boss to me so I rather ask him then Eva. I opened the door and took the same way to Wrights office I did with Eva. And again some people decided to stare. I felt like the new girl in school and the attention I was getting I did not like. I shrugged it off. It’s not like I’m going to stay here long although Wright guaranteed me protection. I’m just not the type of person who just sits around and acts like I’m helpless. My mama taught me better then that. My heart ached thinking about her. But, being depressed over is never going to change the fact that she was killed. I balled up my fist and kept on walking. I was almost to Wrights room when someone yelled hey to me. I turned around and almost got punched in my face. I was happy that in my life I got into a couple of fights because if I haven’t I would have gotten hit. I side stepped and looked at my attacker. It was a girl that was small and petite. She had short blonde hair and a scowl on her face just the same as Eva’s. What the hell is wrong with these people? They are a rude bunch! I was confused. Did Wright or Eva not explain that I was staying here? Maybe the girl thought I was an enemy or something. I lift my hands up. “Hold on. I’m staying here- The girl went for another punch. I dodged that too. “I know you are! But, don’t think that you can just sit here and relax. You have to do work like the rest of us!” The girl yelled. I looked around. No body seemed to want to stop her form attacking me. I brought my attention back to the girl and her fist collided with my face and almost knocked me off my feet. She was fucking stupid. That’s when I decided that talking with her would not make her stop. So when she reached back for another punch, I punched her dead in her gut. She gasps but, did not double over. The girl grabbed my arm to lock me in place and brought my face to her knee. My nose exploded in pain and I fell back and hit the floor. Oh god that hurt. But, only a second later I was up with blood running down my nose. This bitch is going to get it handed to her. My fighting style turned from streets to karate. I had a couple of years under my belt. But, I seldom use karate. The girl smirk and I was so pissed that I did not wait for her to attack. I tried to kick her in the legs but, she blocked that. It seems like I’m not the only with karate skills. That did not intimidate me one bit though. I turned and kicked her in the chest with my left leg and she went flying and slide across the floor and hit the wall. She clutched her chest and looked up at me across the room. I was really enjoying my self. The crowd parted as I slowly walked over to her. I squatted and looked at her. “Now are you willing to listen? I don’t expect to free load- The girl kicks me in the mouth and I fall to the side. I tasted blood in my mouth. I got up and the girl struggled to get up as well. I was done talking. I cocked back my fist and punched her in the mouth. She fell back down and I grabbed her collar. I punched her again and she spit up blood. Good. I went to punch her again but, some one caught my fist. I huffed and turned to look into Wrights eyes. The adrenaline I was feeling faded. Wright pulled at my arm and I stood up. The girl was breathing heavy but, I did not care she hit me first. “What’s going on?” Wright asked. Almost immediately some one spoke up. “Well they started to fight,” Said a guy I didn’t notice until now. Wright nods “Well isn’t that obvious. I mean why?” Wright asked looking at the both of us. The girl was helped up but, she shrugged off the hands as she regained balance. “Well she decided that today was the day to hit random people I guess, “I said with sarcasm sliding out of my mouth.” I was just showing her that she can’t be weak being here and that she just can’t expect to act like a princess,” The girl said. Wright sighs. “Angel. You know that we don’t attack one another,” Wright said. The girl opens her mouth to speak but, a groan slips her lips. “Get her to the nurse,” Wright demanded. Angel was dragged away. The crowd started to mutter about what just happened and Wright turns and looks at me for a couple of second. I started to feel uncomfortable. “Come with me Clair,” Wright said and walked to his office. I followed like a lost duckling and he closed the door and sat in his chair. “Have a seat,” Wright said pointing at the chair that was in front of his desk. I didn’t even notice the chair. I sat down and looked at him. “You need to excuse Angel for her attack. She just has a temper but, good at heart,” Wright said. I shook my head. “She almost broke my face with her knee,” I said. “And you bruised her ribs,” Wright stated. I looked at him dumbfounded. “I did not. And if I did how would you know?” I asked. Wright sighed. “I been in and seen so many fights to know what the signs of injuries are,” He said. I looked away. “Actually from what I see you should be in the nurse’s office too,” Wright added. He then gets up and disappear into the back of the room. He comes back with a towel and hands it to me. I gave a small smile. “Thanks,” I said wiping my nose. “With all the blood I see your nose should be broken,” Wright said bending down and gently touching the bridge of my nose. I didn’t feel like it was broken to me. He sits up and gives a humph. He sits back in his chair and stares at me. I couldn’t take it. “Would you not stare?” I asked. Wright grins. “Sorry just thinking,” He said. I wipe my nose again and move the towel. I think it would be bleeding again. I scratched my head and my arm started to hurt. I brought it down and looked at my arm. The bandage was tightly secure. I flexed my fingers and winced at the pain. I guess that won’t be healing soon. I look back up at Wright and couldn’t read his expression. It was shock, realization, pride, confidence, and a whole bunch of other expressions. What the hell? Wright mouth parts as if he was going to say something to me. “Clair-The door bursts open with Eva looking excited and in a hurry as well. “Wright we got word that there is another loose demon,” Eva said. Wright stands up and walks over to her. “Okay we have to hurry,” He said with a calm voice. They both turned and looked at me. Eva eye brows raise and Wright smirks. “Come on Clair lets go. Today you get to see what we do here,” Wright said. When Eva first said demon I was terrified. “No! No way. I’m not going,” I said like a frightened child. Wright frowns and Eva looks at me disgusted. “Weak. You get bite by one one time and your scared shitless,” Eva said shaking her head and walking out of the room. I felt ashamed of my self but, my fear was real. Wright looks at me. “Clair this time it won’t be the same. And plus you have to go. It’s the only way you can stay here,” Wright said. I groan and cover my face. Why do I have to be such a wimp? I didn’t want to go but, I uncovered my face and swallowed. “Ok. Fine,” I said in a small voice. Wright smirks. “Trust me. This time I’m confident that it would be different then lat time,” He said. And the crazy thing is that I believed him.
