My Demon Mate

Chapter 3 Surgical Mask

Evie arrived at Dr Kendall's office and, as expected, the receptionist had already booked an appointment for her.

"Good morning". Evie waved him

"Good morning,please sit," he pointed at an empty chair in front of him and she sat down. "What may I do you for?" he asked.

"I want a surgical mask, is there any available? "Evie went straight to the point .

"But why would an extremely beautiful girl like yourself want a mask?" he asked.

"That part doesn't concern you " she wore her cold expression again.

"Alright, I'll give you one, follow me"Dr Kendall said. They went into a room with glass walls. She could see a lot of masks in it, the place was extremely cold.

"Why is it so cold?" Evie asked.

"To keep the mask fresh" he replied.

They went through a few masks and Evie finally made her choice. The face of the mask was not even nearly as beautiful as she was, but it was pretty though.

"That will cost you 300,000$" Dr Kendall said sharply

"300,000?" Evie asked

" If you can't pay, then you can always not buy it". The sides of his lips curved up, he was certain she couldn't afford it.

"I'll take it " she said sharply, her lips curved up. She always liked people who underestimated her cause she loved the look on their faces when she beat their f**king expectations.

The doctor had a look of surprise on his face. She quickly sent the money to the hospital's account and after all other verification, she got the new mask fixed on her face, giving her a different appearance than what she really looked like. She left the hospital and went back to the cab.

In a small apartment, Betty Salsedo was making breakfast. She made bacon and fried eggs. She heard the 'ding' sound from the door bell and quickly ran to get the door.

Betty was very pretty, she had red hair which was coiled, black eyes and cherry lips. She rushed to the door already knowing who it was. She opened it and saw Evie standing there. She couldn't recognize her because of the mask she wore but her guts told her it was Evie parker.

I wonder whose behind that mask" Betty feigned, and both girls burst into laughter.

"How did you know?" Evie asked as she stepped into her best friend's apartment.

"Am I your best friend and that's your question?" Betty rolled her eyes.

Evie fell back on the white couch, Betty's apartment was bigger than hers, it wasn't as if she didn't have enough money to buy a bigger house, it was because she wanted to keep a low profile, not drawing any attention to herself.

Betty went into her kitchen and came back minutes later with a tray of food and she placed it on the table.

"Eat up", Betty said, and Evie picked up the fork and she ate

"So tell me about the last mission" Betty said excitedly.

"Nothing much to tell" Evie shrugged. "Besides, you saw it on the news, it just feels like the news people are always ready to film me when I am on my mission" Evie rolled her eyes. "I'll make sure to burn their company soon"

Betty chuckled " They are one pain in the ass."

"Tell me about it" Evie mumbled.

"I can't believe Raymond paid you 2 million for a gem that's almost worth 100 million."

"He's an asshole" Evie sighed "I'll make sure to drag him to hell so I can watch him burn" Evie said coldly.

"I want to be there to see that" Betty chimed.

"Who wouldn't?"

"How did you escape from those cops. The news forgot to film that?" Betty asked as she took a sip from her glass of juice.

"My usual trick", Evie replied, being uninterested in the question.

"Of course"Betty chuckled "Do you know you're one of the top ranking criminals? That's why you are Raymond's favourite."

"Of course I do, and it's all to my advantage."

Betty hit her with a pillow" so corky". She rolled her eyes and Evie chuckled.

"What's your plan now?" Betty asked.

"My plan is to stop working for Raymond and be on my own, but I need more money". Evie stroked her hair from the sides.

"From the look on your face, I am sure you already have a plan". Betty pointed out

"Yes" she answered"We are raiding a house tonight, so be ready" Evie said.

"What are we stealing this time?"

"A blue print".

"Cool", Betty smiled. "And after that we'll spend the night at that fancy rich hotel".

Evie smiled at her friend, she had always been the supporting type. They had been friends since they were 10 and now they are 19 they still are. Betty's mom died when she was little and her dad remarried 'the witch' as Betty liked to call her. After that, her dad became very cruel to her until he kicked her out on the streets. That was where she found Evie and they had robbed and stolen since then. Raymond had always been their boss and watched their ass from getting in trouble. They used whatever they got from stealing to go to school.

Stealing had always been fun with Evie's teleportation powers. She made sure she kept her identity a secret even from Raymond, which was why he gave her the name 'Parker' instead. How did he figure out her real name? Evie didn't know.

Neither Betty nor Evie knew why she had powers or what she was. Evie only knew she could teleport, read minds and heal fast. She still kept on asking herself who she was , but Betty had always had her back and, just like Evie, she was an expert criminal grounded at gymnastics.
