This is so annoying
That is the thought that ran through the mind of a girl that looked to be in her twenties as she chased after a man that was clearly an addict of some sort. Once he took the wrong turn, she grabbed his shoulder, turning him around then punched him in the gut and while he bent over in pain, elbowed him in the back. Once he was down, she put her foot on his back and pulled a sword that had a dark red blade. "You owe Satan quite a bit of money and favors. You can either swear under oath to become part of his brew of demons or rot in the seventh layer of agony in hell with many others that made the same mistake as you have." She pointed the tip of the blade against his neck, tapped it against his neck twice as a sign of her growing impatience. "Choose quickly or I will make the choice for you." She hissed at him, thankful for the dark to hide her.

Luke walked out of the shadows giving a slow clap as he watched the girl beat up the man and pin him to the ground. A smug grin on his face he said

"Well done, quite marvelous work for a woman your size. Tell me did Satan send you here for this low life? Is he really that desperate for souls that he would personally send one of his people to get some punk like this guy?"

Luke found the thought of this quite humorous, he had been following the woman all day staying out of sight and blending in with the crowds of people.

Luke was dressed in a pair of tight jeans and a roper's shirt, he had a pair of cowboy boots on his feet and a black cowboy hat on his head.

"So tell me, what exactly are you doing here?" Luke asked, he already had a clue as to what her purpose here was but he was quite certain it wasn't to take out drug addicted low lives.

She cut the man's head off just as she heard the slow clap. There was white soul that came out of his body and then turned red and went straight into her sword, making it glow for a moment then die down. She looked over at the man who had spoke, wondering as to why he would speak such a way of Satan. She didn't care much for the man nor would she stick up for him. "If I didn't kill him, someone else was bound to. Why do you care? Clearly he meant nothing to you." She put her word in the black sheath at her waist.

"What am I doing here? Do I look like I live in the underworld or something? Do I look like a merciless demon, ready to tear innocent throats out? No, I don't. Before you ask a question, think about how it will sound." She stepped out of the alley, the moon was risen high in the sky now as she popped her neck.

Luke followed behind her keeping a steady pace. "Well with the way you just decapitated that poor guy you could've fooled me." Luke said with a smart mouth tone " By the way when I asked 'what are you doing here' I meant it as more of Why are you here and why are you doing the devil's dirty work?" Luke was curious as to how she ended up doing what she was doing, and he wondered why Satan would send her if she wasn't one of his demons.

"Then you should rephrase to "Why are you doing this?" not "what are you doing here?" Goodness, where did you learn your grammar form. If you want to know the answer to that, then why don't you ask Satan himself? I don't have to answer anything I don't want to." She quickly pulled her sword out and turn around, stopping right before it could hit his neck. "Most already know who he sends out for strong and weak people to take down. That man you saw there was actually a low class vampire who ended up sucking down the blood of many demons that were vital to Satan himself. Looks can be quite deicing, no?" She grinned at him, clearly being a smart ass back at this guy. She didn't take her job lightly but she did enjoy annoying people. "Now here is a question, why were you following me?"

Luke smiled and pushed the blade away from his face gently. "Well lets just say I happen to be one of those guys that God turned his back on, that Satan casted from the pits of Hell, and overall not one that you want to point a blade at."

Luke looked up to the moon as a group of clouds were starting to break apart allowing the moonlight to glow and give light in the dark night.

"A fallen angel? You really think you could take me out? I might be small but I have more skill and power than you would believe." She wasn't going to be stupid enough to say who she was to this guy, but if he really felt like attacking her in hopes to prove her wrong, she could easily bring another demon out to protect her, though she wouldn't need to bring one, they come on their own accord. A little hell fire would be enough to take him out anyways.

"Fallen angel, yeah right kid." Luke said with a laugh "Im a little more monstrous than that if I do say so myself and as to my reason for following you, im plan B for when you screw things up kid."

"Don't tell me you're the one he sent to protect me? Old man needs to learn to move on." She knew that when she was a kid that she soft hearted and that has caused Satan to be quite stricter on her, but what in the world is he doing sending a guy like this to protect her? Anyone knew that being Satan's daughter, he only trusted her physical abilities along with her demonic ones. Something didn't settle right with her. She didn't move her blade form his neck now, holding it tightly in her hand. "State your name and species and what business you have with the devil."

Luke wasn't shocked by this reaction, unlike most creatures and demons that worked for Satan his kind weren't allowed in hell and were rarely called upon for duty anymore. "My name is Lucas Talbot, but you can just call me Luke and as for species if you haven't figured it out yet you sure will in about thirty seconds friend." Luke watched as the clouds continued to part almost showing the moon in its entirety as it hung in the sky.

As the clouds moved away form the moon, the realization dawned on her and she moved in a flash to the rooftop of a building. "Of course that would be what you are. What business do you have with Satan? None of us have time for your kind's stupidity and blood lust." She growled at him, large fangs started to form in her mouth as her eyes took on a bright red color. She knew this was only the being of a transformation for her, though most would mistake her for a vampire with such a look. She kept her blade pointed at the man on the ground below, she detested most everything in this world. Angels, werewolves, vampires, demons, humans, Gods, everything, nothing was saved form her hatred.

Luke fell to his knees and began to scream in pain with his hands on his head, soon he began laughing and got back up. "I had you for a minute didn't I?" Luke found her lack of knowledge quite hilarious and couldn't pass up on the opportunity to mess with somebody.

She wasn't so easily fooled like that. She knew better, she had killed and meet several werewolves in the past and they usually travel in a pack. "No, you didn't. Clearly you don't have a pack and possibly the leader of one once by the cocky way you act. I don't see why you feel like toying with me though my job has been done." She pointed her blade to the body of the addict still laying in the alley, already having large rats eat at his corpse. "I would hate to see the little puppy laying in that ditch next." She grinned, placing the tip of her sword in the rooftop and leaning against it, her hands overlapping one another and her chin resting on them. "Why don't you go ahead a run off with your tail between your legs?" Her mood would switch so quickly, it was really hard to tell if she was doing it on purpose or just insane.

"Little girl, your daddy didn't tell you the stories about us did he? Never heard of the Wildesheer have you? He never mentioned the bringers of the end times? Such a shame, Your daddy not only cast us out but he excluded us from story time two? well darn."

Luke said sarcastically, his dealings with Satan were long over and he was surprised that Satan allowed him to get this close.

"Kid, im not exactly your average wolfman and for the record Wildesheer don't travel in packs. We get the job done single handedly."

Luke hadn't mentioned that his kind were cast out of hell due to their great power, even Satan himself had to keep an eye on them at all times out of fear.

"I don't know if you realize this or not, but my old man isn't the most affection father. Being the lord of the underworld isn't quite an easy job for him, so spending time with his kid isn't at the top of the list." She said flatly, she really had no clue what a Wildesheer is. She had never heard of them, never met before, and didn't care enough to try to find out.

"I honestly don't care. As long as you don't try to kill me, I won't do the same to you, it is that simple. I hate everything and everyone, more so cocky bastards like yourself of course I'm on the talk form time to time." She said stood up straight and removed her sword form the rooftop and placed it back in the black stealth. "Now, if you will excuse me, I have business to attend to."

"You and I both know im not here to let you just walk away like that." Luke said with a serious tone. "Now you either come down here and we can talk like civilized beings, or I can come up there and show you why exactly your daddy wanted nothing to do with us. Your call" Luke's eyes started to turn yellow and the hairs on the back of his neck stood erect as they started to grow longer.

Jean wasn't so sure about this at all. He gave off no reason for her to trust him and the way he was looking now, it looked like he was about to change. "You stay in your human form first off or I'll do whatever it takes to make sure the next head my blade cuts off will be yours." She then jumped down form the top of the roof building that was at least ten stories high and landed perfectly on her feet without a problem. She didn't move to come any closer to him, but she was trying to figure what could his motivate be to track her down? She doubted he would want to have his race considered part of the devil's brew and it was unlikely she would take the throne of the Underworld any time soon to make that possible. Trying to use her for ransom was plain stupid because she meant nothing to her father, he could easily do the same thing he did to her mother to another human woman or maybe a female creature that was stronger.

Luke's eyes returned to their normal color and he began walking forward, he put his hand on her shoulder and said "Listen, if I wanted you dead I would've already made that happen. You my friend need to stop doing this dirty work your old man has you doing because eventually... Eventually you will wind up like I am, Cast out from heaven and hell being stuck in the middle with no purpose left. You can either take charge and stand up daddy, or you can be tossed out like trash."

Luke wanted to give the honest truth so that she would be able to comprehend just what he was saying, maybe then she would understand the grave situation she was in.

"If you are willing to stand up for yourself my people will fight by your side. We will help you defeat the tyrant that rules the underworld because I can tell from your eyes that you aren't a ruthless being like your father."

Jean listened to what he said, though what was his intent. She trust no one so she was skeptic about everyone. "I know my place, I know he cares nothing for me and I right now have no purpose in my life. I work as an assassin for all creatures and I know that in this world, trust no one because they will all rob you blind. What reason do you have to make me believe that you won't try to take my life in battle and call it a mistake and take the throne for your people in an act of revenge for giving you the life you have?" She knew she wasn't a cold blooded killer like her father, she wasn't willing to watch innocent others suffer just for her pleasure, she was still part human and though her mother was nothing but a hooker, her mother was still human nonetheless.

"My people cannot rule over the underworld, God wouldn't allow a beast to rule, no matter how powerful or intelligent. We need you because we cannot enter hell without permission to do so. you being more human than you are killing machine are the only one that would listen to reason. Without you all is lost." Luke said as he hung his head.
