The fate of two - unlovable

Saved By The Hunters

JJ's Pov -

By the time i got to Little Leo's, Matty and Jen where already out side the club waiting for me. my temples were pounding and I really wasn't in the mood for going to the club, with everything that happened between Mrs Cotterson and me today and every thing else I was dealing with, but I had already told Matty I would go. so here I was pulling up to the club to park my car, I hoped out locking the door as I went.

like usual Jen was full of energy hopping around like the little bunny she was, she was stunning in her short red dress, heels and long blonde hair hanging in curl's down her back.

beside her stood Matty in his dark Jean's, dark gray top and leather jacket, I on the other hand decided to wear my tiny midnight blue dress and black strappy high heels that showed off my feminine curves and toned legs.

by the time we walk in to Little Leo's the place was packed and the music was loud, "hay let's head to the bar, get a drink before we grab a seat" jen yelled over the music.

we got to the bar and order our drinks, 3 beers and 6 shots of tequila. as we turn around heading over to the seating area, when I noticed a hottie Leaning against the wall at the edge of the dance floor in dark pants and a snug black dress shirt, he looked more at home in a GQ photo shoot than here at Little Leo's. It wasn’t just his clothes or the way his brown eyes swept the room that drew my attention. he was just too... good looking, like one of those smouldering male models you see on the front of a magazine. In a room full of young adults and college students and the occasional senior. most people where wearing T-shirts and jeans, he stood out like a pigeon amongst penguins.

we were half way when a man was pushed in to me, we went tumbling to the floor, whacking my head on the carpet and the guy knocking the breath right out of me as I was crushed under his weight.

I saw white spots as my vision started to blur, Someone pulled the bloke off me, and a lady asked, “Is she ok?” if I had to guess she was talking about me because I was the only one still lying on the floor. feeling a little dazed and not sure whether I was more embarrassed or pissed at the situation I was in. A hand waved in front of my face and I realized someone was bending over me.

“Are you okay?” he asked in a deep masculine voice that sent shivers to all the right places and made me feel like I had butterflies in my belly. The lights behind him made it next to impossible to see his face, but from his voice I guessed he wasn’t much older than myself.

“God that hurt, but I think I'm fine” I said with a chuckle rubbing the back of head, as I moved to get up. The man reached out and took my hand, and I gasped as a warm tingle slid through me. I stared at our touching hands as he helped me to my feet, and I stood there for a moment before I realized my had was still clasped in his. I let go and looked up at him with a shy smile. “Thank you”.

He stood so close, so close I could touch him. His face was no longer hidden by the light and I found myself staring into a pair of pale gray/blue eyes that looked at me with such kindness I almost forgot to breathe. silently I stared at him while my stomach knotted with a sensation I could not describe. I experienced the strangest sense of recognition, as though I knew him, but new I had never seen him before. The man suddenly blinked and took a quick step back, breaking the spell that held me. after Remembering to breathe again, I glanced around trying to steady myself then looked back to find him watching me with a confused expression that probably matched my own. My eyes moved up his handsome face taking in his chiseled jaw, full lips, a slighty crooked nose, and sandy blonde hair that fell across his forehead in messy waves. His skin was slightly tanned and both arms were covered in beautiful tattoos, and the shadow of a beard played around the curves of his jaw, he wore black pants and a dark top.

suddenly realizing we were staring at each other, and I smiled to cover my embarrassment. “Sorry.” my words getting a reaction I did not expecte.

His whole body went rigged, and his eyes suddenly blazed as if I had physically hit him. I took a step back, stunned by the hostility in his stare, especially after his kind assistance.

“Okay… well, thank you for your help,” I mumbled and I walked off to join my friends. I slipped through the crowd until Matty and Jen appeared. Matty holding the tray of drinks and Jen came up to me through the crowd "you alrigh JJ, I saw you locking eyes with mr mc hottie over their" Jen squealed while wriggling her eyebrows, Matty rolled his eyes which made the corner of my mouth twitch with the beginning of a smile.. I turned towards Jen on or way to the seating area.

"Jen I honestly don't know What has gotten into me tonight, going all gue gue eye's over a hot guy? God," I groaned loudly and closed my eyes.

"and to top it off I have no idea what the hell his problem was?, he was kind and helpful one minute and harsh and stand oafish the next" I said and then exhaled loudly.

The band finished the song and next one started just as we sat down, with a beer in one hand and a shot in the other.

I downed the shot, it sent a nice burn as it ran down my throat and then i took a swig of beer to wash it down.

"JJ just forget about him, enjoy the night. you probably won't see him again tonight anyway" said jen in her happy voice.

My sigh was drowned out by the music. Maybe it was me; I just didn’t know how to enjoy myself like a normal person.

It took me a few seconds to realize that Mr GQ was staring at me. The boldness of his gaze brought heat to my cheeks, I quickly looked away from his seductive smile and the invitation I saw in his stare.

I had little experience with the opposite s*x – but I’d have to be comatose not to understand the signals coming from him.

What through me off, was why his attention was on me with all the beautiful women here trying to gain his attention. Not that I think myself ugly; I’m just not what you’d call alluring, and I’m certainly not used to hot men giving me the

“come hither” look. A little breathless.

I shifted my attention to Matty and Jen who were chatting away.

"hay" I said to them over the loud music, "wanna dance?"

"thought you'd never as" Matty replied with a devilish grin.

we moved forward through club and nudged our way on to the dance floor, I looked toward my left and saw Jen dancing up against a guy.

shaking my head i turned and Matty yelled out come on dance with me, grabbing my hand he pulled me towards him and put his hand around my waist dancing along with other people on the dance floor.

after the second song I separated from Matty and Jen, standing on the edge of the dance floor watching

Jen and Matty they were having a great time, cheering and moving with the rest of the crowd. Matty started doing some outrageous dance moves that had me and Jen laughing at how silly he looked.

after Jen and Matty finished dancing they came towards me and we headed back over to our seats.

we ordered another round of beer and talked for a bit about work, what we had planned for the rest of the week. The band that was preforming had almost finished their last set, and I was ready to leave.

My headache was turning in to a migraine after my accident, and I was still a little freakout from the whole encounter with that Beau fellow (I think I heard his friend called him). I wasn’t sure what bothered me more; the way he acted or the way i reacted toward him. He was gone now so it didn’t matter but I couldn't get him out of my mind.

The band finaly finished their last song the crowd cheering loudly and shouts for an encore.

Jen hooted at them then turned to me and Matty. “That was awesome! Did you hear the drummer's solo?” she said with a dreamy look on her face.

“It was hard not to,” I said with a laugh and a shake of my head.

My head was throbbing.

“I told you they'd be good tonight,” Matty said while looking at me, nudging me with his arm.

"the local bands had gotten a lot better since the last time i heard them play.” I said with a smile.

Jen rapped her arms around Matty's arm.

“They’re starting to pack up. Let’s go.” said Jen while looking from Matty to me.

both Matty and Jen looked at me, and I waved them off.

“Go on. I want to sit down for a bit anyway. I’ll be over there.” I pointed at the seating area we just vacated. Matty nodded, and he and Jen headed for the stage. I sat in one of the chairs and laid my head back with my eyes closed, trying to will my headache away.

It was a lot better now that the music had stopped.

people were milling about, content to sit there quietly until Jen and Matty came back for me. Someone took the chair next to me. I opened my eyes, expecting to see one of my friends, and I was more than a little surprised to find Mr. GQ sitting there looking me. He was alone,

and I wondered how he had managed to slip away from the females that had been trying to catch his eye all night. if I had to guess He was around about my age, and up close he was even more beautiful if that was possible with ridiculously thick lashes and the perfect kissable lips that parted in a disarming smile.

I couldn't help myself but smile back. “Did you enjoy the band's?” he asked in a voice as smooth as silk it was almost a caress. For a moment I forgot to answer. “They where great actually. You?” i asked, He shrug his shoulders slightly.

“They’re ok I guess, but the band's playing next is more my style. the forsaken, have you heard of them?”

“No. I'm not in to hard rock ” I replied, i found it funny and a little hard to believe that he was into hard rock.

Little Leo's and the types of music they played here really didn’t seem to suit him. But then what did I know?

The chair creaked as he leaned forward with his elbows on his knees.

His deep brown eyes bored into mine. “You should stick around to see them. You won’t regret it.”

now, this guy was good. I wondered if he was aware of the effect he had on the ladies. He definitely knew.

I almost laughed out loud. “me and my friends only came to hear The Trenture Brothers play,” I told him,

pointing to Matty and Jen at the edge of the stage

“We’re leaving as soon as my friends chatting with the drummer and brothers.”

he gave me a small nod and smile in understanding.

“That’s too bad, maybe another time then.” He leaned closer and spoke in a soft voice. “You’re not like the other girls here you know. it's quite refreshing.”

Not sure if I should be offended or not,

I replied with “well If the girls here aren't to your tastes, maybe you’re looking for women in the wrong places.”

His eyes flashed in amusement and a smile pulled at the corners of his mouth, he settled back in his chair.

“I think you might have a point.”

i heard my name being called and looked over and saw Jen waving me over.

“Looks like my friends are ready to leave.” I stood .

“It was really nice talking to you.”

The corners of his mouth turned down a little.

“Are you really gonna leave without leaving me a name?” he asked the smile reappearing over his handsomeface.

Smooth, very smooth I thought.

“I don’t give out my name to men, especially one's I dont know.”

He raised his eyebrows and gave me a heart throbbing smile.

“Not even a first name?.”

“Not even a first name,” I replied with a wink.

“ well I'm Axis, and it has been a pleasure. I hope to repeat it sometime.”

it was highly unlikely I would see him again letta lone it ever happening again, but I didn't tell him that and I smiled anyway.

“Well, enjoy your band.”

I turned toward the stage, as I reached Matty and Jen leaning against the stage

“You ready to go?” Matty asked when I reached them.

after they said their goodbye too the band, we made our way towards the front entrance of Little Leo's.

as we walked out to the street. Music had started playing inside the building again, and it wafted out the front entrance after us. I yawned.

“You guys stay here, and I’ll go get the car.” Matty set off running to the parking lot around the corner.

I sat on the side of the steps at the front of Little Leo's, while Jen pulled out her cell phone and proceeded to call someone, she started raving about the band and the hot drummer, I on the other hand took out my own phone and started to go through f*******: to pass the time until Matty returned with the car. I would collect my car tomorrow.

someone leaving Little Leo's was standing on the first step, just behind me. I looked up and noticed Axis watching me, the next thing I new he was standing beside me. I tried to hide my surprise and failed miserably.

“Have your friends abandoned you?” he asked.

I felt a shiver of nervousness at his nearness.

“No, my friend Jennifer is right over there” I replied, as I started to stand.

“I thought you said you were leaving” said Axis, his breath felt hot against my cheek.

" s..sorry I better be going" I said, as I tryed to step around him.

"My friend just went to get the car, and we’re waiting for him.” I knew I was babbling, but I wanted to put some distance between me and Axis. Something just felt off about him, and he was starting to make me feel uncomfortable. as I started toward Jen I felt one hand on my arm and the other came around to cover my mouth muffling my cry's for help.

“You seem to be in such a hurry to leave all of a sudden, and we can't have that now can we" he said, his voice just above a whisper.

He moved so fast the street blurred, one minute he had hold of me and we where at the front of the club, and with in seconds we stood in the employee's parking lot at the rear of little Leo's.

with my back pressed up against the building and unable to move or call out.

"do you know how much trouble you have caused me little doll?" he growled against my hair. Terror threatened to choke me

I screamed into Axis's hand and struggled wildly to twist out of his hold, but his grip was like bars holding me immobile.

as I searched the darkness of the parking lot with wild eye's, I saw someone approaching us he was, enormous, at lest 7ft tall with pointy ears and a buzz cut, he had to be part ogre or troll, no definitely ogre I thought. relief washed over me.

Axis started to laugh, I looked back at him.

" Zyrian, about time you got here, where are Kaleb and Isaiah?" Axis demanded.

the relief I felt a moment ago, turned into a state of sheer panic, as I started to struggle harder in Axis hold.

"well Kaleb is behind the wheel and Isaiah is behind you" Zyrian said in his gruff voice.

I moved my eye's to look behind Axis and their I noticed a man, with slick black hair and cruel black eyes, a wave of terror washed over me as a evil smile slowly spread across his face.

“ah Axis I like this one, she is a

fighter....I like that.”

I could hear something close to excitement in his voice, and my fear only seemed to excite him more.

My heart threatened to burst from my chest.

"Back off ISAIAH!" growled Axis as he shoved me in to Zyrian waiting arms.

“I just have to know one thing first,” Isaiah demanded.

Zyrian picked me up and tossed me over his shoulder like a bag of potatoes.

the impact leaving me breathless.

the one named Isaiah slowly walked toward me, "what are you" he whispered.

“I–I don’t know, what your talking about.” I stuttered.

He exhaled impatiently and his hand moved down to brush against my throat. I swallowed convulsively. “I’m not lying. Please… I don’t know.”

Isaiah eyes narrowed, and he stared down into my eyes. “I think I believe you. Hmm.

grabbing a fist fall of my hair he lifted my head so my eye's were leveled with his, forcing me to look into his eyes. he turned my head sharply and pressed his nose to my cheek sliding it toward my neck inhaling my sent. I shuddered at the feel of his cold skin, pressed against me.

“What is this?” he murmured in surprise. he smelled my skin again. “You smell like” His head whipped up, and his eyes sparkled like he had just been served his favorite meal. “You’re a Nephilim”. Isaiah chuckled in delight.

“oh and one more thing, little doll. If you call out, I will rip your little friends to shreds. You wouldn't want that, would you?” My eyes widened even more, and I shook my head. His lips parted in a evil smile once more.

“Now, now that's no way to treat a lady” said a deep masculine voice from the other end of the darkened carpark

The voice was hard, menacing and as cold as ice, my heart swelled with a sudden surge of emotions joy, relief and hope.

Isaiah moved in front of me as Zyrian headed for their vehicle with me dangling from his shoulder like a ragdoll.

“you are very brave or just stupid, my friend, but you will move on if you know what’s good for you.” snarled Isaiah.

“I'm the kinda person who doesn't follow orders well, especially from a demon.” Beau replied in his menacing tone.

Isaiah froze but quickly recovered from his shock .

The figure hidden in the shadows shifted, and a tall shape moved forward . He wore dark pants and a matching top and both of his arms were covered in tattoos, I’d seen him in the club earlier, but now he carried a sword and had knifes strapped to his thighs.

I was so relieved and grateful to see him that I almost sobbed his name.

Isaiah stiffened and let out a hiss.

" Nephilim!” anger and what sounded like fear crept into his voice, and my dazed mind wondered what on earth could scared a demon? and what was a nephilim?

Beau chuckled, "so you know what I am," Beau said more as a statement then a question.

“I see there is no need for introductions then. Good. I hate to waste time.”

"see thats the problem with your generation, No patience.

you know, you nephilim, are like rats, I really wish I knew how to kill you. But no rush. Let's take our time...relish the moment". Isaiah said as a malicious smirk tugged at his lips.

Zyrian ignored Isaiah and my rescuer making his way towards the car he was almost at the car. when a flash of white blinding light appeared stopping him in his tracks, it was so bright it hurt my eyes. the light began to fade and their standing in between Zyrian and the car stood a man, he had sandy blonde hair that was spiked up in the front, gray/blue eyes and wore black shorts and a dark blue top. his arms, legs and neck where covered in tattoos with a couple around his jaw. he too was holding a sword with some sort of weapons strap to his back.

Zyrian lifted me off his shoulder with ease and chucked me to the side. I hit the ground with a hard thud and my head bounced of the concrete, i tried to scramble out of site. but I was fading in and out of consciousness.

the man lunged at Zyrian his sword slicing through the air as he went, Zyrian jumped back barely missing the strike.

Zyrian swung at the man with his claws ripping in to the man's side.

Zyrian was suprising quick for someone his size and he

jumped back out of the range just in time to avoid the mystery man's next attack.

mystery man tightened his grip on his sword and Zyrian charged at the mystery man and using his momentum sent him flying backwards into the side of the car.

mystery man was picking himself of the ground as Zyrian advanced on him once again, the mystery man spun away from his attack and brought his sword up, slicing a path across Zyrian chest, "you're gonna pay for that nephilim" Zyrian bellowed in a voice laced with pain.

Zyrian came at him again faster this time, and mystery man went down on his knee's avoided his attack just in time.

Zyian stumbled back, holding his hand over his bleeding calf.

in a fit of rage Zyrian turned on the man, sliding to the side the mystery man struck him again. This time his blade sliced through muscle and bone like it was butter, severing Zyrian's right arm just below the elbow. fulling on to his knee's Zyrian screamed in agony and grabbed at his bloody stump were his arm use to be.

mystery man moved so quick his blade was at Zyrian's throat before he knew what hit him. His head flew across the parking lot into the brick wall as his body crumpled to the ground with a loud thud.

i scream, at the site of Zyrian head rolling towards me with lifeless eyes.

I screamed again as I saw someone coming towards me in a blur, closing my eyes, I felt someone grip my shoulders gently.

" JJ are you alright?, are you hurt" Matty said his voice laced with concern.

I opened my eyes and I could have cried at the site of Matty nealing beside me.

then mystery man turned suddenly to the sound of boots hitting the ground as the man from the front seat of the vehicle charged at him from behind, I heard a whistling sound a second before an arrow pierced the man's right shoulder making him stagger.

that's when I noticed the lone figure on the roof of the club holding a crossbow.

the man with the arrow protruding from his shoulder, must have decided the odds of making it out of this battle alive wasn't in his favor. because the next thing I new he fled, making a run for the car he had just hopped out of. the man on the roof let loose too more arrow both missing their target mere inches.

when the man got to the car he flung open the door and dived in side. the sound of a engine roaring to life and the squeal of tyres, as the car flew out of the car park and faded in to the night.
