Feel the Wrath.
Episode 1
-HABEN-
The clock chimes for the 1am call. I say chimes but it was more like a siren scream. The noise always filled the empty fortress. The echoing of the chime found all corners of the empty halls and forgotten rooms which once upon a time held the most ravishing parties. My brothers and I could always host a good party but it was my dear youngest sister what always stole the show. Her beauty alone had every head, male and female, turn. I had two other sisters but believe me when I say this, they are the hardest females to have any type of relationship with.
I tilt back in my leather chair and close my eyes. Procasonating always made me feel depressed. I missed my family but at the same time hated them. Their selfish needs drove everyone away and put us on the radar as number one targets to be hunted.
Drifting into a slumber I get rudly awoken by none other than..... Death.
"Haben, I've watched you for the past 10 minutes and my god man! You need to find a hobby! It's unhealthy to sit in this study of yours and drink yourself into oblivion!"
I open my eyes to death and give him a scowl. He always looked young for someone who had been around longer than any other living creature. His boyish look, blonde hair which was styled with gel, grey blue eyes which could make females weak just by staring at them, perfect proportioned face and the body of a warrior. Muscles in the right places accompanied by the slashes of war over the years which left him with scars over his arms and neck. He was tall but I towered over him. That bit always made me howl with laughter.
"HABEN!" He demanded. He hated being ignored by anyone. I gave him a sacrastic smirk picked up my whiskey glass and downed the liquid.
" You know better than to rudely barge into my house and insult me Wren. It better be end of the world important as to why you are here!" I growled at him. He started to approach me and parked himself on the leather sofa just opposite my chair.
After pouring himself a glass of my 4 century year old whiskey, which bothered me how he always helped himself without asking, he looked me dead in the eye and said,
"I have a job for you."

Finally 5am is here my shift has ended. The club was packed out tonight and I was that rushed off my feet I didn't get chance to go for my break. I poured myself a coffee from the machine, got changed out my uniform and into my clothes.
"Well done Aria! Tonight you were amazing! You really held the fought for us I'm so glad I hired such an amazing woman like you!"
I rolled my eyes and spun slowly turning to face my annoying creepy boss. He made my skin crawl as his eyes traveled up and down my body with lustful intentions. He thought I was an easy target for this type of harassment when hiring me as I'm a young 21 year old runaway.
"Thank you, Jack. It's nice to know I'm getting the hang of everything now" my words broke his creepy gaze what was undressing the top half of my body. I felt this overwhelming sick sensation rise from the pit of my stomach all the way to the back of my mouth. I spun back quickly, slamming my locker and turned to walk out the door.
Jack stopped me in my strides and grabbed hold of my arm.
"Aria, I'm holding a private party for one of my top investers on Tuesday and I'd really hoped you would bartend for us. It's triple money as it's an off the record type of thing. No one speaks a word about it afterwards."
Jack was warning me and at the same time trying to scare me into saying yes. I gave him a quick smile and asked what time to be here for.
"6pm sharp and remember no telling anyone anything! The pay is enough to keep a lid on it all. Go home and get your beauty sleep sweetie." He released my arm and tapped my backside while giving me a slimey wink and walked off.
I ran out the building as fast as I could and didn't stop till I reached my car. I reached into my bag to pull out my keys but this wave of calmness over came me. I stopped in my tracks and turned around and scanned the scene. Nothing. Absolutely nothing was there. A sweet smell was invading my senses but I couldn't find the source of where it was coming from. My legs starting moving of their own accord and it was like something was drawing me towards it. I looked everywhere for something until this voice snapped me out of the trance I was in.
"ARIA I FORGOT TO MENTION YOU WILL BE SERVING US IN SEXY LACE UNDERWEAR!"
Ewww. Jack. I glanced up and his expression was somewhat unreadable. He seemed surprised. Yet intrigued.
"Ok, jack" Is all I could manage to respond back to him.
"Is everything ok sweetie? You lost something?" Jack said whilst starting to walk towards me.
His reaction made me feel anxious. I don't know why but it was like I didn't want him to steal the scent of this glorious smell.
"Oh...errrm... My.. earring.... My earring fell off I'm just picking it up. See you Tuesday" I said as I walked straight passed jack and got onto my car. I turned the key, reversed out and drove off at a speed to high for the gear I was in.
I took a deep breath and exhaled which snapped me back into reality. What had jack asked me to do? Or was it asked me to wear? I brought my coffee to my mouth and spat the contents everywhere. HE TOLD ME TO WEAR UNDERWEAR! SERVE HIS CREEPY a*s WITH HIS ALSO CREEPY FRIENDS IN MY UNDERWEAR. HELL NO!

After listening to Wren tell me about this job he had also somehow managed to get me out of the fortress and down the town centre. The job was bizzare, nothing I've ever had to do before. I hosted a demon within my body which thrived on wrath. I killed many a enemy with my bare hands but this time i had been asked to house and protect? Protection? I didn't know the first thing about protecting anything.
I refused this job many times but Wren wasn't having any of it. He told me my oldest brother asked him to issue this job to me and no one else was to do it.
We walked down this side alley which was located right next to the club when I stopped and witnessed something. There was a woman running out of the door and towards a little 3 door car. Then suddenly she stops.
I stood there as if she was keeping my body prisoner with her presence. She was phenomenal. A petite 5 ft young lady with amazing ocean coloured eyes and long jet black hair. She was a walking goddess. Something inside me was coming alive and sending electric shocks through my veins. My blood was at boiling point, I couldn't handle what my body was doing, but I could not break my gaze from her. Then the irritating voice of a weasel broke my concentration. I knew the voice instantly. None other than a trustee of my older brother. What shocked me next was what he just shouted at this stunning lady. Serve him in sexy underwear? WHO THE F*** DOES HE THINK HES TALKING TO LIKE THAT!!!
After a short while, his presence clearly upset the young lady, I watched her drive off and then the rodant dares to address me.
"Haben, long time no see, your scent is still . Want to come and have a drink?"
I strolled out the other side of the car park where I had been watching. I only noticed now Wren had decided to disappear. Great! Playing nice with this insect always was difficult for me.
As I approached him he had this cocky little smerk on his face what made me want to rip his head off.
"Didn't take you for a peeping tom, Haben. She's a fine peace of meat my Aria, isn't she?"
One minute I was walking to him the next moment I had my hands wrapped round his neck ready to snap his bones into tiny little fragments.
"DONT TALK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A PARASITE OF A MAN! NEXT TIME YOU SPEAK ABOUT HER IN THAT MANNOR ILL CUT YOUR B**** OFF AND SHOVE THEM DOWN YOUR THROAT... UNDERSTAND?!"
He's face dropped and he was desperately trying to pry my hands off his neck. If I wasn't p***** I'd of been laughing at his facial expression.
" S-sorry Haben, p-please let go...... I.... Can't.....breath..."
I released him and felt my blood cool down instantly. I was shocked at my response, it's not the first time he had spoken crudely about a woman, but this time it really bothered me. Was it because he claimed her as his? The thought of it angered me again. What was going on with me?!
Jack rearranged his suit, shuffled on his legs and interrupted my train of thought with a cough.
"So... I'm guessing you are here for her then? I'm sorry I can't let her go..... She's too valuable to the....club.... She's to valuable to the club." Jack stuttered. He was now weary of my reaction.
"She's none of your concern now, jack. I'm under orders from the big guy, don't stand in my way of furfulling my duties. You have a problem you can cry about it to my brother."
Before he could speak I cut him off and proceeded to follow her scent. Her scent.... Set my soul on fire. Her scent alone was making my body ache with need. No woman had ever done this to me, and I had met millions over the course of my immortal life. Who was she and why was I being tortured by her?
Wren must be hiding something from me about her, the sly old dog.
