Chapter 3:Wonda's Waffles are the best in town

Walking side by side through town, Tara insisted on Blade getting something to eat not cause she was deathly skinny or anything like that she was pretty fit as far as Tara was aware, but she had a feeling she hadn't eaten. After walking for a while listening to Tara's endless begging, she gave in and agreed to get a bite to eat. Soon the stench of fish, people's sweat, and smoke were replaced by the homey smell of frying butter Tara's nostrils breathed it all in and her brain was assaulted with mouthwatering images of fluffy, warm goodness. As they came around the corner the source of the smell was revealed, an old theme diner with a big sign reading "Wonda's Waffle House" above it.

Tara: Please tell me we have reached our destination?

Blade: Yass Queen welcome to the best place in this shitty town to get a bite and the only place without fucking fish on their menu.

Both girls head inside the diner where the old theme disappears entirely when NEFFEX careless is playing at a steady volume and the decor is modern, not at all old theme as the outside indicated it was. There's a lady looking to be in her early thirties behind the counter whose attention is locked on two guys in a corner booth who seemed to be dressed as fisherman then she looked in Blade and Tara's direction and her face brightened and made her way around the counter and gave Blade a big hug.

Denise: Mija!

Blade: Hey Mama D.How are you doing today?

Denise: I'm okay my child and you? who's your friend here?

Blade: I'm fine and this is my new partner in crime Tara and she is forcing me to eat something...

Denise: Well Tara and I will be good friends Always trying to get Miss stubborn over here to eat at least two meals a day but nooo always coffee maybe a half-ass meal and that's it.

Tara: Looks like I got my work cut out for me on this one.

Blade:Damn tag team on me  like the Uso's why don't you. Anyway can I please have my usual and I'm not sure what Tara wants?

Tara:Um... can I please have a Cuppachino and your tastiest item on the menu?

Denise: So Two cuppachinos and two specials and dont argue with me Mija you eating something go get yourself  a booth and I'll be with you in a minute.

The two looked around and it was pretty quiet  and Tara's attention caught on a couple sitting in a booth near the back. The boy looked their way  and and called out for Blade and her friend to come join them.Which is exactly what they did.As they sat down the couple introduced themselves to her The boy was Beaux and the girl was Jay and they seemed very chilled they were also pretty weird but in a good way they become friends very quickly.Shortly after They had to leave as they left Tara and Blade both noticed that the fisherman from earlier were staring intently in their direction but looked elsewhere when Denise came with their orders

Blade asked in a whisper.

Blade:Mama D who are those men?

Denise I haven't a clue Mija, they are not from here though and that's for sure.Enjoy your meal and that plate better be clean Mija.

With that she walked away they looked back to the men or where they were it seemed like they had left without them noticing.Both girls just left it and started eating the special turned out to be Denise's famous chocolate chip waffles.The girls spoke as they ate.

Tara: why does Denise call you Dayo isnt your name Blade?

Blade: Its her Term of affection for me Mija means my daughter she treats me as her own so she started calling me that and my name is actually Hazel but I prefer to be called Blade.

Tara:Although Hazel is a beautiful name Blade makes you sound dangerous and intriguing which in all Honesty is the perfect way to describe .

Blade laughs while chewing her waffle and nods her head.

Blade:Maybe it does or perhaps I'm just an ordinary girl and ordinary town.

Tara:That's not it even in the slightest you are more extraordinary than you know.

A slight blush reddens on Blades face. Both girls eat quietly after that and Denise came back to find both plates totally empty same for the cups and the girls talking about music eventually when they actually notice Denise staring at them with a knowing smile.

Denise: Well look at that plate empty and you made a new friend well my prayers have been answered Mija.

With a big smile she left and the two girls paid the bill and said goodbye to Denise and talked about where they should go but that thought was put aside when the girls noticed those two strange men looking at them from the street corner and then both at once came running in their direction at an inhuman speed and tackled Blade while the other one went after Tara.

The strange man was sniffing Blade and seemed to growl in her ear while giving one of the evilest smirks she'd ever seen she tried getting him off of her only to be met with the pain of him digging his nails into her wrists as he held her in place and the muffled cries from Tara as she tried to get loose.

Strange man: Such weaklings I didn't expect that from your kind but nonetheless it will be our pleasure to be the ones to kill you Demi goddesses.

The man's mouth seemed to open wider than any normal human mouth could possibly only to witness rows of sharp teeth coming closer and closer to her as she still tried to free her wrists from his hands but it wouldn't budge.

Then a voice that was all too familiar to Blade broke the agonizing tension of what could possibly have been her death.

Denise: Get the fuck off my Mija.

A loud shot was heard and then darkness.
