Red

Red Love

I push the button on the elevator. The elevator slowly closes, leaving Tristan awkwardly standing there, staring into my eyes. It stops on the second floor. The head desk lady stood staring out at me from outside of the elevator.

"How are you Mrs. Robin?" The desk lady grinned an unsettling grin. The elevator doors close and I can hear it making its way up the building. The woman's eyes became black.

"What the hell?!" I yell. She comes at me and grabs my nose ring. She starts laughing maniacally. I am losing the fight. Her strength is overwhelming, she pushes me down and puts her hands around my neck. I began gasping for air, reaching for nearby objects. I suddenly hear a large bang. I look up and see the elevator fell, the doors open slowly, as if being pryed. Caleb stood on top of the elevator, he cut the rope connecting the elevator. Like a knight in shining armor he slightly moved his axe, revealing the shining holy water that cases the weapon. The demon screams as Caleb takes a powerful swing right at the monster. It's head comes clean off. His dark hair barely swaying. He grabs my hand and helps me up. My red hood flying behind me. I adjust my nose ring and look at Caleb.

"I didn't know you were that good at fighting, I thought you were just a snotty rich kid who can't even wash his own dishes" I sniffle a bit.

"I thought you were just a troubled teenager running away from home" He walked up the stairs without saying another word.

"Wait? What the hell just happened" I have a confused expression. I turn around to see the ladies black explosion of dark light. I run around the corner in just enough time to get to safety. I sigh loudly. I walk out the doors quietly. I turn the corner and walk into the salon's door. "Why do you always get these stupid tattoos and haircuts when you are angry, why can't you be more like your sister, her straight A's aren't from new hair colors" My father yelled.

"I don't know dad, why did you force me to plague my life with the stupid family business, why does Ashley get to be normal" I yell and run up to my room crying.

"That's uh interesting?" Kim smiled awkwardly. I expected her to lash out at me. That's what dad always did.

"I know, aren't you going to yell at me and say it was stupid?" I frown and rub the back of my neck. I got a belly button ring.

"No sweetie, I think you are perfect with your belly ring" Kim's accent was strong.

"I think it's pretty hot" Tristan laughed as he peeked through the door where I held up my shirt to show Kim my newest addition to my "punk rock collection".

"Get out Tristan! You sicko!" I shout and slam the door to the bathroom.

"So, Red, what do we do now?" Kim frowned.

"I wanted to start by getting y'all away from me, I only cause destruction, then I need y'all-" Kim interrupts me.

"No, we need you, the past is in the past, yes you got my whole family killed but now I need to keep my new family together" Kim smiled, I don't understand how Kim could forgive and forget like that.

"Thanks, but I don't think-" I frown as Kim interrupts me.

"My son, Tristan, is what you are, right? That means he is one of your kind" Kim arches her eyebrows.

"Yeah, we are the only two, the demons kind of want my blood, so I imagine they want his- damn it!" I yell, now the demons have two halves.

"They must want his blood too then" Kim frowns.

"I am so sorry" I sigh loudly.

"Do y'all have a name? or just half wolf?" Kim asked.

"Some legends refer us as crescents, as in not a full moon" I sigh and stare at Kim. I leave the bathroom. Everything is a mess. Life is just one big mess. I fall onto the bed. Caleb is examining the weapons while Tristan and Madison are playing. I close my eyes slowly, no sleep really puts a person down. I yawn and slowly drifted asleep. I wake up and feel someone lightly tickling me. I giggle and roll over, meeting eyes with Tristan. His lips lock with mine. The kiss was passionate and sweet. Suddenly I taste blood, when I look up he is bleeding from his eyes and mouth. He begins chanting "Why would you do this to me" I began screaming and closing my eyes.

"Its okay, you are fine, it was just a nightmare" Caleb shakes me. I open my eyes, Tristan was in the shower. Kim and Madison weren't in the room. "You were screaming, I wasn't going to let you have a nightmare, especially since your life is one" Caleb walks away from the bed and sits in the couch. I look around hazily, that dream was very vivid. "I don't want to sit in here all day" Caleb sighs. "I can't just sit around anymore, whatever killed my family needs to die" Caleb frowns with a determined expression.

"You are just going through the fun filled rollercoaster of losing family" I sigh and rest my head on my pillow, then stare at the ceiling.

"Same demon?" Caleb looks up, his dark eyes piercing mine.

"No, something even more powerful than Jenivive" I frown and close my eyes.

"How long have you been fighting" Caleb picks up his axe and began spinning it.

"Since I was 11, nothing but hell since then" I sigh.

"What do you like to do for fun" Caleb concentrates on his hands.

"Partying, drugs, sex" I open my eyes and laugh.

"You didn't seem like the type" Caleb laughs and drops his axe.

"Nah, I am a major slut, I have slept with everyone" I joke.

"Not me, we might have to change that edventually" Caleb winks and laughs. Let's hope he is joking.

"We are definitely gonna change that" Tristan walks out from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. I cringe. Caleb tosses Tristan some clothes.

"All Mom could find" Caleb frowns and began spinning his axe again.

"Maybe we should all go party, you know as our last hoorah to being normal" Tristan grins. I give Tristan an annoyed look.

"I think it's a good idea" Caleb shrugs.

"Y'all can go, I have a headache" I sigh and rub my temples.

"Headache" Tristan makes quotation marks with his fingers.

"Yeah, in case you haven't noticed I have a a lot on my plate" I give him an annoyed look.

"It will be fun" Caleb puts his axe down.

"I guess" I roll my eyes and toil with my hood.
