chapter1
a dark street with only a couple floating pumpkin lights to light her way. lace made her way to the city square. lace was a short slim girl with short slightly curled black hair that stopped just above her shoulders. he amber eyes glowed as she passed the glowing pumpkins. as she walked the black leaves that had fell from the grey and white trees crunched under her feet. a breeze came and swept her hair up and sent it in her face.
"dont like the wind" she mumbled as she passed a group of demons snikering about somthing to do with cracked twigs. lace wasnt really paying attention to anything, she was focosed on getting to the square. her gardian, lord mask a demon of many faces, had told her to. if she didnt go shed get in loads of trouble.
"what could he possible want" lace mumbled kicking a black rock towards a tree. she her it smack somthing then heard and "ow". lace froze mid-step and turned to her side. a demon boy with long silver hair and grey cloudy eyes walked out. he had short a short black horn and pointed black nairs. he was scatching his head and scowled showing of black fangs. he was ina black trench coat and black combat boots.
" you the girl who kicked the rock" he asked looking lace up and down. lace thought for a moment, is i say no and he finds out i lied he could hurt me but if i tell hed probably hurt me anyway...
"nope" lace said testing her luck. she turned back straight and started to walk again, she could hear the busyness of the square and see the festival lights.
"its not nice to lie" the demon said with a smirk, he startled lace and she flinched.
"cant talk, must find master mask" lace mumbled. she was about to go into town when two fimiliar female demons popped up. the usual girls who make fun of lace. you see, lace isnt a demon or spirit or evil faiy-tale creature. noone knows what she is, but she was still accepted into the hallow community.
"man.." lace said with a sigh she had gone the whole day without seeing them but it was ruined. the boy with silver hair was floating a few inches above the ground and looked curious.
"well if it isnt miss mytery breed' spyinx a mummy girl said cocking her hip. spyinx had straight jet black hair that stopped just below her ear and emerald eyes. she wore cleopatra eye makeup and expensive wraps, gold jewlery, and hair clips.
"shes a breed, just noone wanted her" minx a cat demon said giggling. minx was a snow lepord girl with the ears, tail, nose, mouth, eyes, and hair like a snow lepord. the two girls began to cackle togther.
"i dont have time for a toilet paper girl and her frisky kitty right now" lace snapped and contuined to walk. the boy with silver hair looked at the shocked demon girks giggled a bit and continued to fallow the mystery breed girl. lace noticed him fallowing her but didnt really care right now. she had spotted master mask and she started making her way to him. he had on a white plain mask with a red flame going up the side and his usual black cloak and gold pointed slippers. he was a man-whore and grabbing on ladies as they danced. the bad thing was master mask was a tall good looking man so all the girls fell for his perverted and sexest ways.
"master mask, i finally found you" lace said kicking her masters leg. the master winced and hugged lace. master had been like a father to her, since she had no family, he was there her first day of night school and all her frsts, from her first tooth falling out to her first cuss word.
"my sweet little lace face, whyd ya kick me" he said giving lace a noggie, lace squirmed until she was free and gave a faint smile.
"what did ya need" lace asked crossing her arms. master had called her on her holo- watch which projected holograms of whoever was talking to you, and said to find him right away.
"i want to let you know that the.......who is that" master was saying until he noticed the hovering boy next to lace. lace looked at him and gave him a puzzled look.
"no clue, i hit him with a rock earlier and he has fallowed me since" lace said shrugging her shoulder.
"i knew you did it" the boy said waith a pleased look.
"you didnt....." master said looking at the boys head
"did what" lace asked
"yes she did" the boy said with a smirk
"god damnit" master sighed
"did what....what did lace do" lace said loooking confused.
"you broke his horn" master said face palming and shaking his head.
"now i get to be her bodyguard till it grows back" the boy said hovering around lace victory lap style.
"what" lace asked master after she pushed the boy away.
"he is a binder demon, they feed of there host's emotions which makes them...um level up...you could say. if you break there horn you are attomatically sent into a contract with them, you use them and everytime they are usuful the horn grows back..but it takes and awful long time..and now he gets to feed off your emoitions until his horn grows back....good god child whyd you have to hit this boy with a rock" master said with a little annoyment in his voice.
"Hehehe"the boy said floating circles around lace and master. lace had her mouth agap and loooked horrified
"dont wory you punky idiot it dosent hurt" master said smacking the looked of her face.
"whats you name anyway" lace asked looking at her bodyguaard..
"soul at your survice ma lady" he said bowing with a big grin.
"great... what was it you wanted anyway" lace said looking as master scrathced his head.
"um...OH YEAH.. there givig out pasports, go get one for you and..soul.. were going on a little trip.....you see daddy has gotten in some-" master was saying but was cut off by an explosion. the carts and people flew into the air causing a mass panic. people started to run or power up (which you do in a threatened position, it allows you to save your strength for the fight). lace may not know where she is from but she has power. deadlythorn majic that master had taught. she could feel her hair grow pointed at the tips and felt her k-9 teeth point out of her outh. her eyes flashed to yellow with black cat pupils and a rock hard dark green plant suit formed over her body. cuttin the sleeves of at her elbow and the shorts of at her knees. then her black leaf skirt and vest appeared. her nails grew long and black and her skin got a green tint to it. her ears pointed and darkened. her feet were covered with a thick blak pointed tip boot that stopped halfway up her shin.
"thorn majic" soul said with wonder. his hair went long and turned into a curl at the end, his eyes went completly black and all his teeth grew sharp. his tongue turned into a black snake tongue. his fingernails grew very long and black. his body became a black mist and his skin became very pale.
"soul eater majic" lace said looking soul up and down. master just went and stood behind lace.
"tipical master" lace said. her voice became demony developing a rude tone and lower pitch. (still girly tho)
"shut your trap and defend me" master said as the mist cleared. three big blue ogres came stomping out. lace gave master a blank look
"the ogre market illegal trade....again...really" lace said shaking her head. there buisness gave the definition to down and dirty. most of the time there clients who didnt pay ended up dead and master was a penny pincher.
"well well welll master, looks like your limit is here" a small troll looking man came out. he had a green and white pin stripped suit and a hat to big for him. his grey beard and long eyebrows trailed behind him.
"mon tro troll" lace said eyeing the little man with a scowl on her face. he was a low and dirty little man that resorted to anything to get money.
"why little lace, you have gotten majic now havent you. thorn majic suits you my dear" mon tro troll said with a dark smile.
"i cant wait to smash you" lace said cracking her knuckles.
"dont like him" soul asked looking curiously at thr troll man
"not at all" master said as he tried to hide it with a cough
"let the battle begin shall it" mon tro troll said waving his hands for the ogres to swarm.
"go my minions" master said. lace gave him a glare and then a nod to soul and they were off. thorn majic gave lace superhuman strength allong with the power up. she jumped up makiing the ground cruch under her feet. she did a spin and landed a kick to the first ogres face making him stumble. she then did flips down his back making the torns in her hair fling out and stab him. her thorns had a special toxin coated on the tip that made the nerves explode with pain. the moster gave out a tremendous yell and started to beat at his back with his club.
"Alright lace, gimme your best shot sexy" mon tro troll said as lace knocked down the first ogre. Lace glided up and came down landing on her toes like a ballerina
"You'll wish you were dead" master said crossing his arms
