The city was always beautiful at night, when the sun sets, it was like it had come to life but that wasn't the only thing that came with the darkness: they were beings lurking in the darkness, waiting, cause once it was night, they could freely roam about.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyWiazVlNR
Not everyone could see them but he could so he felt it was his responsibility to exorcise them, for a price of course.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FLXLNAUfN
Hunter looked from his phone to the apartment building in front of him, a well-maintained building, no one would believe a demon lived there but then again, that only makes it the perfect hideout. 'This is the location' he thought to himself.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2EBN6OLVY
He pushed the door and it slides open with a loud creak. He walks into the building, welcomed by the chirping sounds of crickets, and the tweeting of birds.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRbEJCpaGB
His eyes scan the surrounding, weed were growing almost everywhere. All the apartments' lights were off except for one whose light was flickering. He had doubts before but now he was sure, this is the place.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDCcrKnhiA
"Are you the exorcist?" A croaky voice asked from behind catching him by surprise.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFj8q9Z6dI
He turned to see an elderly woman leaning on a stick staring at him expectantly, "yes," he replied,
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGNDlse8Eb
"But you're so young," she stated.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4Xpp5YKy2
"Ma'am, I'm 18."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3qto8UiLa
"That is young," she countered, "I had a son that was 18, the universe took him at 16, the world is a cruel, cruel place."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CQB9wPgtV
"Huh?" He said confused, "that doesn't even make sense."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqTYaOrboT
The woman frowned, "This world doesn't make sense," she replied.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFi38Xz5r9
"Right," he drawled before looking around the building, "which apartment did you suspect had the ghost?" He asked.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfpENtVhBm
"That one," she pointed to the room with the flickering lights, her voice falling even lower than normal. He nodded before turning the direction, headed for the apartment,
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7WnICSCC6
"Be careful son, there is a ghost in that apartment, say your prayers and hope it doesn't come for you," she shouted after him.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk8eAV2D6i
"I mean, I'm here to have a conversation with it so I hope it does come for me but thanks for the advice."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGuzIz2hNX
The closer he got to the apartment, the more he could feel it, he had in him years of exorcising ghosts and there was nothing that could scare him.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1AYZUbUyZ
Even before seeing it, Hunter could tell just how much energy it had and he knew, he just need to land three yellow energy punches to cast it away.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKGBLdTih2
The light goes off as he pushes the door wide open then comes back on again as he walks into the apartment. He could feel its presence in the bathroom so that was his destination.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHwW8eZcl2
The light flicker and he catches something gliding in the dark with the corner of his eyes, it was fast.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCn3BfPvkt
The room goes dark again and he finds himself wondering why he picked the nighttime to do this. Hunter felt a hand on his shoulder and before he could react, the ghost flings him to the other side of the room, sending him crashing into the bathtub.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNBm4W1sf1
He felt it race towards him and the light goes on, giving him a good look at his attacker for the first time: a short, huge, neckless, green creature with long limbs and ears. That certainly was no ghost, it was a demon.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6ehYtP3pe
The light flickers and stays off but the room is suddenly brightened up by a glowing yellow energy around Hunter's fist. The demon throws itself at him but he moves out of the just in time and hits it with a thunderous punch.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxn0K6N6tL
As the demon flies back from the impact, he chases after it and throws another punch, the demon manages to get its head out of the way but the strike catches it on the shoulder, completely detaching it from the body and sending the entire hand flying away elsewhere.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kcYfpm8pT
The demon rose again, it threw a sloppy punch at Hunter who easily dodges it, the demon was much slower than before. The light turns on and Hunter hits it with an uppercut, sending it flying to the ground. The demon evaporates into thin air.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfJnTGymz3
"Is it done?" The woman asked as he walks out of the room.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYomyCFxmRW
"Yes," he replied with a small smile, "sorry for the mess."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbm3InGW73
"It's fine, nobody would take this place with a ghost next door but thanks to you, I'm sure this place would finally be lively once again," She stated, "I already sent the money to the account number in the poster, hopefully, I wouldn't be needing your services again."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdfB7j0G3y
"Never say never," he waved as he walked out of the building. He took out his phone to call a camp but a black SUV pulls up in front of and a man in a black suit steps out of the car. "Are you the exorcist?" He asked,
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6wxu2pM3u
"Yes?" Hunter replied, more of a question than a response.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHn8bojQ38
"You're under arrest," the man said as grabbed him, turn him around and cuff his wrist.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWeM02fZdi
"Wait what?!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4RpiHtK4D
...
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEOJoeX4do
Hunter looked around the room, this was his first time in an interrogation room. The federal agents - at least so he thought, had brought him about an hour ago with charges of fraud but no one had said anything to him since.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUJep8NeYw
Just then, a tall, caramel-skinned man with a lean build and short snow-white hair walk into the room, he looked like he was in his later twenties, sporting a sunglass and a dark blue zip-up jacket with a fairly wide high collar and a matching slim fit pants and dress boots.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ1CEwIK1H
He sat on the other side of the table, across from Hunter before taking off the sunglasses revealing his vibrant blue eyes, "Hunter Heffernan, is that correct?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhXqr2A00w
"Yes," Hunter replied, "look man, we didn't know exorcism was a crime we wouldn't have done it."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy11Zp0ug8
"We? There's another one?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefzv8bpVAP
"Jacob, he's my manager, handles the business aspect of the job," He replied
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjMd9KyWGv
"Wow, you have a whole thing going for you."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKF4iKLK0f
Hunter tilts his head sideways, "I mean, it pays," he shrugged.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXQ4DD0RQI
"Well Heffernan, I'm sure you'd be glad to know you're not under arrest."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcASjbKDkuq
"I'm not?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKVlKyGjds
"No," he shakes his head as he slides a dark green colored card across the table towards Hunter.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45ilxR58qn
Hunter looks at the card and then at the man in front of him, "is this a ticket thing, this feels like a ticket thing."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIUfpWP14Y
"This is more of an invitation to join a secret organization thing," he stated.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YWSc6W5ZT
Hunter picks up the card, "Oh."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpGMV2iuLg
"You're what, 18? I know kids your age dream of saving the world and I'm allowing you the opportunity to do so."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynIVuoR8sV
"Sorry," Hunter said, "I'm not interested."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoTE3Bun6F
"What? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you get to meet others like you, learn more about your powers, and reach new levels of your skills."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H5hfJhiow
"Oh, I see what's going on here."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBoLdJZ0k0
"You do?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt52z2IYZ3
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're trying to entice me with everything my current life is missing."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF03R1wBNm
"Is it working?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IZFmNeHwR
"Yes, I'm in."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD2efSuewW
"Good," the snow-white-haired man said as he rise from his sit and walks over to Hunter taking his hands in his, "I'm glad you agreed to join us," he stated.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwld4zi0Rd
"What was it you said you do again?" The man asked.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAyNsvUkyE
"Exorcism?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq60N2CZGr
"Right," he nods, "that is only a fraction of what we do," as the words leave his tongue, a spark appears and a portal opens in front of them.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETqFwWlsws
"Woah ..." Was all Hunter could say, the man walked into the portal and Hunter follows after him, appearing in front of a large building with a classical Greece architectural design.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3zwIzSPaX
"Wow ..." Hunter said, still gobsmacked, "Who are you?" He finally asked
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnEoq6ri4u
"Zyair," the man replied before turning to face him, "Welcome to the Metropolitan School of Mysticism."
