Sober

   Caeron's POV

   "My friend Mira came from a very rare pack. They are hybrids but what makes her special is because of her bloodline. She has a blood of a demon Fox King and a female from their bloodlines are very rare but very powerful. They can control or enslave any  males and they can also see string bonds. The worst part is they can also cut those ties".

Mum explained to me.

   Me and Emma was just nodding but quite amazed.

   "Oh, one more thing.... Only the females have a three shades of colors on their eyes". She added.

   "Oh!". Emma blurted.

   "What's wrong?". I asked her.

   "Nothing!". She shakes her head but she looked like there's something in her mind but I didn't pry anymore.

   "I wonder why did you dreamed of Mira and Cara?". My mother was drowned to a deep thought.

   "Maybe because she's still alive". Emma said and we looked at her in disbelief.

   "But I saw her..... No, if they are under Mira's charmed then maybe?". I looked at my Mum.

   "We can assume that but we've been looking for her for ten years now. I don't think she did survive". My mother said.

   I fell into silence and into my deep thoughts.

   "Why don't we rest for now and talk about this again later and Caeron... Happy birthday son!". And she kissed me on my forehead.

   I looked at Emma but she didn't say anything. She's still mad at me. They left after.

   "Happy birthday to me.... What is your wish Caeron?". I asked myself. "I wish Cara is still alive, I wish my Luna is still alive and come back to me". After I said that I went back to sleep.

   Eve's POV

   Saturday morning. I felt my head is ringing. I chugged down at least three or four bottles of beer within a minute and humiliated myself in Aiden's party. "Good job Eve". I said sarcastically to myself then a knock came.

   "Come in!".

   Amy peek at my door. "Morning... Already sober?". She said gently to me.

   "Yeah.... Sober and humiliated". Then I buried my head to my pillow. "What time is it?". I murmured. Not caring if she understood me.

   "Six am".

    "It's still early..... Something came up?". I quickly bounce back from my bed.

   "Ah yes.... Mum said to ask you, if you want to go with us".

   "Go where?". My forehead creased.

   "To Emma's house. Today is Caeron's birthday and we will give a hand for some preparation". She said gleefully but my face grimace to the thought.

   "I don't feel well.... I think I'll just stay home". Then I hold my head and started to cough. Amy laughed at me.

   "Fine... I already told them your feeling sick anyway". Then she gave me a wink.

   "Ahh.... You're such a sweet cousin". I jumped out of bed and hugged her. "What time are you leaving anyway?".

   "Now if you're not coming!". She said. "Anyway if you're going to stay home, just stay. I don't want you running around anywhere. I know you don't like to see Caeron that's why I'm doing this". Amy said.

   "Yes mother!". I said mockingly and salute at her. She just snorted then leave.

   I went back to sleep but my eyes denied me the rest I want. I can hear Uncle John's car start it's engine then drove away. I jumped out of my bed and run downstairs. "I am home alone!". My lips twitched up. I run to my room again and went to my luggage. I opened the secret compartment of one of my travelling bag and took out a suit.

  "I know I will be needing you in the future!". I talked to the vacuumed bag I was holding. "Time to deal with him!".

  I put it on then put a big hoodie over it then left the house. I need to find him. Fast. I took my cell phone and send an encrypted message to a private site. I took cherry out and head to the woods. I hide my  bike then walked inside the forest until I reached a clearing.

   "Wow!... You're here already?". I said as I saw a man in a suit standing still.

   "And you're late". He said and smirked. "So tell me, how is NIGHT doing today?".

   I was stunned by his question but I didn't let him see it. It's good to wear a mask, no one can read your whole face. But then again a question lingered in my mind. Nobody knows that Maya is dead?.... But why?.

   "On vacation". I simply replied.

   "So it's only DAY here without NIGHT?". He said mockingly to me.

   NIGHT and DAY ... That what they call us in our world. Maya and I are a tandem and I understand why is he saying those things.

   "And why is Mr. ICE asking for NIGHT?.... Want to offer a job?".

   "Well.... Is DAY being nosy and found out about my job here?". He said and started to take a step.

   "A special assignment was not always handed to one person everybody knows that". I said to him but in reality I have no idea what is he doing in Banes Field.

   "Is DAY trying to steal my job without NIGHT on her side?.... Be careful I don't give a shit to anyone". He said with a warning.

   ICE is being reluctant. I wonder what kind of mission did he signed up for.

   "If it's mean big money, why not?.... Besides I think this job doesn't suits you you've been here for a while but nothing happened yet right?". Stupid for me for teasing him but that's the intention, I need to push his patience to the limits.

  "Don't you dare mock me!". He said under gritting teeth.

   "Or what?". I readied myself I know he is pissed now.

   ICE didn't say a thing he just lunge at me but I dodge his first attack.

   "Oh... So this is how we will going to resolve this!". I reached for my boots and took my twin edge blade. He didn't took out his gun that means it's a hand to hand combat.

   I took a defensive stance while my blade is in a reverse point then I waited. We started walking in circles looking at each other's eyes. Reading what's in each other's mind. He stopped then send me a side kick. He has long legs and I almost didn't dodge it. I lowered myself below his legs and raised my blades for a slash but he is fast and bounce back after that kick. He sprinted and took a swing, I blocked it with my arms. I tried to kick his lower legs but he just jump and dodge it. Then back to square one.

   "Your good!". He said to me.

   "Thank you... Not bad as well!".

   Then he sprinted again and made the same kick. I tried to block it with my arms but it was a mistake on my side. A blade came out from his shoes and wounded my left arm.

   "A retractable blade in a nice pair of shoes.... How sweet!". I said while checking my wound. Blood is gushing down. I took a cloth on my side pocket and bind my left arm. "Care to tell me where did you bought it?". I need a little time to distract him.

   "Sorry baby doll but it's custom made!". He attack again knowing he have the upper hand.

   I just bind my left arm quick and spin throw my blades to him. He dodged it. I took out my special blades from my side and clamped it to my arms. I call it moon blades because it shaped almost like a quarter moon. It is good when I'm using Muay Thai.

   My moves are from Muay Thai and ballet. It's like dancing while attacking my opponent. My defense is also my offense. I noticed he always uses his long legs to attack me and so for every dodge I make, I give him a good slash. I saw dripping bloods from every wound that I make and it irritates him the most. Until he stopped and pulled out his pistol. Cheater!.

   "Sorry baby girl but no more time for this!". He aimed at me and I saw how he unlocked the safety pin and tried to squeeze the trigger.

This is bad.... I thought to myself.
