his arms around her. She smiled and enjoyed his attention, but something was off. This guy was too good. I looked at Chax and followed his gaze; he was also looking at the same guy. So it’s not only me who gets a weird feeling about this.
We stood there for an hour or so looking at the guy and girl. He was whispering stuff in her ear, and she would laugh and duck her head away in shyness. Then they stopped dancing and the guy took her arm and pulled her out of the crowd, leading her into the bathroom hallway.
“Let’s go,” Chax said, and started moving with speed. I had a hard time keeping up with him through the crowd. People were bumping into me and stuff, but for Chax they simply stepped aside letting him pass. Maybe it’s that face he always has, the one that said, “I’m pissed”. We finally made it into the hallway to see people still standing in line, some hopping with need.
Chax turned the corner and doubled up on his pace; I had to start a light jog to keep up. He reached the door and stopped dead, turned around and looked at me. Screeching to a halt I stopped in time before crashing into him; just before I was going to say something he lifted his hand to stop me.
“I want you to stay away as far as possible, do not try something. I know it’s not always possible for you, but don’t, understand?”
“Oh come on,” I replied, throwing my hands in the air and looking at him. What, like I go out of my way to butt in? He looked at me like he was trying to say “yeah right” . “Yeah, okay,” I finished. Satisfied he turned around and opened the door slowly. I could hear a girl’s giggle as he stepped out silently. I followed the silent approach he was doing, and closed the door slowly. Turning around, I could see the couple in the corner of the alley; the girl was between the wall and the guy.
Chax moved along the wall, keeping his eyes on them, one slow step at a time. I looked at him and decided that this is as far as I go. I don’t want to be in the middle of whatever he has in mind. The girl suddenly screamed, and I looked away from Chax to them. The ally was dark, so I couldn’t make out what’s going on. She was hitting him on the back but he wasn’t backing off. The next thing I knew, Chax punched the guy in his side, a growl like a beast escaping into the alley. Holy crap, it’s not a guy, it’s a freaking demon! I took a few steps back. So not ready for this yet.
The demon turned around and faced Chax, who already had his swords drawn; he stood there ready and waiting. The guy’s face changed then, into what can only be described as a cross between a cat and a dragon. He had two large fangs sticking out of his mouth and from his chin downwards, I could see what looked like dark liquid running down, crap it was blood! I stopped dead, not wanting to attract attention to me. The demon stormed forward attacking Chax, who only stepped aside, made two swipes with his sword and then walked over to the girl. I looked at the demon to see why the hell Chax is just leaving it and not killing it, only to see its head missing, and the body slumping to the ground.
Something hit my boot so I looked down straight into a pair of eyes, I jumped away from it . “Oh that’s so gross,” I complained and slammed into the opposite wall, keeping my eyes on the head. Yeah, that was quick, just two swipes and the thing was dead. Doesn’t look that hard, but then I haven’t been doing this for ten thousand years, maybe even more.
I looked back at Chax, who was kneeling at the girl. So I walked over slowly to see if she was okay. A step away I stopped, her eyes were looking up at me - lifeless. Oh my soul, she’s dead! I looked at Chax who was holding her, he then looked up at me his face this time was not pissed off, it was super pissed off. I backed away slowly; I so don’t want a training lesson now when he looked like that.
“Do you see now why we do this?” he asked, letting go of her and
