Alliance

Arech appeared in front of Usha.

“You should knock.” Usha said wiping her mouth with her hand. She had been investigating what happened with Josh. She found a place were demons seemed to hide, and she needed to be in shape, if she was going to face them alone.

Arech looked at her disgusted. The man lay face-up, with chest completely eaten.

“What was his fault?” He asked still looking at the man.

Usha look at the man too and shrugged. “I was hungry.”

Arech went to sit on the other bed in the room. The room was small and bare like most of the motels room.

“I’m not here under anyone’s orders.” Arech clarified. Usha raised an eyebrow and stared at him. He didn’t look back. The room was still for a moment. Usha decided to light a cigarette and sat in front of Arech, half-naked and covered in blood.

“You should stop doing this.”

Usha brusted laughing.

“Are you threatening me?”

“No. I’m trying to let you understand that what you are doing is wrong.”

“Oh really, wrong for who?”

“You can stop, and everything will be over.”

Usha smiled.

“I’m not stopping Arech. Not until I find Adam.”

Arech looked at her. “if you stop, he’ll come back.” The room was silent again. Usha hardened. She knew what he was trying to say.

“I’m not going back Arech.”

Arech nodded. “Then save him, but not like this.” He said looking at the dead man on her bed.

Usha snapped furiously. “You think I have a choice? How can I fighting demons when I’m weak.” She stood and went over to him pointing her finger. “I’m the daughter of the devil, I cannot be weak. They have to fear me.”

Again silence. Usha went over to the window to finish her cigarette. Arech sneakily look at her. No matter the blood, he still found her beautiful.

“I’ll help you.” He found himself suddenly saying. Usha turned, cigarette in her fingers.

“What?”

“I said I’ll help you.” He stood up. “But you have to promise this won’t happen again.” He pointed at the dead man. Usha looked at the man too.

“I won’t kill them, but if I need to I’ll feed on them.” Arech sighed, it was better than nothing.

“I have to go now,” Usha nodded and looked out of the window again. Arech vanished.

Usha looked back to where he was standing seconds ago. Then at the dead man. She shook her head and continued absently to look out of the window.

Updates

I haven’t been posting much lately. I’m having problems at work and I’m looking around hoping to find something better. Not to mention that I’m totally absorbed in The Great Gatsby.

As per the stories; Usha is going great. I have many written chapters on the notebook that I will soon post. As per the other stories Dreamwalker and La Dolce Vita are on standby. I have the writer’s block on those two.  Unlike Usha where I know how the story will develop, DW and LDV are just fragments of the whole story.

The Adventures of Elena Rose and Cleo is there. I mean the story is in my mind I just want to make it as mysterious as possible.

I’m also writing a book that I hope to publish. I won’t say more as I’m still figuring out everything but as Usha I know how the story will go. So I’m positive.

If you have any advice on how to publish books, type it below. I’m considering online publishing.

Love,

Usha and Josh

Usha woke up stretching her arms. The clock on the end table read 11.30.

She didn’t know the room. She couldn’t remember where she was, or what happened last night.

She sat on the bed and realized she wasn’t wearing anything clothes. As she dressed she noticed a man in bed next to her. She smiled.

It must have been an amazing dinner,she thought. The man was still breathing though. She could hear his heart, relaxed and calm.

Room service she thought with delight as she moved to the other side of the bed to finish what she started last night.

She took off the blanket and realized with shock she knew the man; it was Josh.

“What are you doing here?”

“I don’t want to get up, I can still see the sun.” Murmured Josh half asleep. Usha shook him to wake him up.

“What are you doing here!” Usha repeated. Josh woke up reluctantly and looked around.

“Where am I?” he asked, “why are you in your underwear?”

Usha shook her head frustrated and went to look outside the window. She couldn’t recognize the highway. Josh sat on the bed hands on his head.

“My head, I think I had too many drinks last night,” he looked at Usha,”probably you did too.”

“Don’t be ridiculous” she said turning to him, “alcohol has little effect on me.”

“Then you had way too many.”

“What is wrong with you?” she asked, “Don’t you understand what happened?”

Josh smiled. “I do believe me,” he said standing up, “But its not like you can get me pregnant with the a demon baby. You should be lucky; you slept with the best man on earth!” He went to look for the bathroom without waiting for Usha’s reply.

Usha shook her head. He must be still drunk she thought. Josh wouldn’t accept something like this, would he? He didn’t plan something like this? He wasn’t the most noble man on earth, but he wasn’t her fan either.

“So what happened last night?” He asked coming out of the bathroom zipping his jeans.

“I don’t remember.”

“Neither do I. Which is weird.”

“You could have died.”

“What?” Josh asked alarmed.

“I usuallyeat men I sleep with.”

“Well you should have told me thatbefore.” He went to the armchair and took his t-shirt.

“I thought you hated me. Why are you ok with all this?”

Josh put on his t-shirt. “I have slept with so many girls, I really don’t care what I feel for her. I don’t really hate you. I don’t trust you. And this has nothing to do with trust and it is seems to bother you more which is something I’m enjoying.”

Usha nodded and turned around.

Maybe Josh is ok with this, but I’m not. She had to know what happened last night. Someone must be behind this, someone who wants to ruin her plans.

 

Brothers

“What’s wrong with you guys?” Josh asked looking puzzled. Usha and Matt have been acting weird lately. Matt in particular, he didn’t like Usha but always supported her decisions. Now he was ignoring and avoiding her.

Matt simply shook her head, “nothing.” And Usha as always ignored him.

“Wow don’t tell me you two hooked up!” Josh joked. Matt blushed as always when talking about these topics while Usha send him an annoyed looked.

“Oh you did!” Josh continued starting to believe it himself.

“No Josh.” Matt denied.

“Then what?” Matt didn’t reply. Usha was looking at them also waiting for Matt’s answer. Josh worried. He took Matt by the arm and went somewhere more private.

“Did she do something to you?”

“No Josh”

“Matt I’m serious, did she hurt you?”

“No Josh she didn’t to anything to me.” Josh relaxed. He wasn’t sure how he would deal if Usha ever hurt Matt. He would probably go and attack her, but won’t even scratch her.

“Matt,” Josh almost whispered, “If something happened, you have to tell me.”

Matt remained silent for a moment. Thinking. Then he shook his head.

“Nothing happened Josh, I just need to realize she is not one of us.” Josh was still confused, but he knew Matt wouldn’t say more. Since he went to college they weren’t close anymore. If it wasn’t for their father’s kidnap they probably wouldn’t even be together right now. But he was the big brother, and he felt it his duty to listen and help his little brother out.

“We need her to find our father. I know what she does is not…”Josh tried to think of a suitable word, “well, he feeds on humans, that’s not really normal. But once we find our father, we won’t need to deal with her anymore.”

Matt nodded. For Josh it was easier to get over the fact that Usha fed on people. He didn’t really care. Matt thought he didn’t too, until he saw her in that car with that family. Josh wouldn’t understand, he would even be able to explain what he is feeling. How he can’t forget the children face.”

“Come on let’s get back inside.” Josh said patting Matt on the shoulder. “I have to get ready to patrol with Usha. We might be close Mattie, I think we are really close.”

Inside Usha was sitting on the table, arms stretched backward, legs folded and head looking at the ceiling.

“Ready partner?” She asked smiling at Josh. He nodded and went to get his bag.

Usha jumped off the table and went to Matt.

“You better get over it Matt.” She snapped. “I will do anything to save Adam.”
