Snippet #2330750

Ashton watched the silver haired girl bound down from a roof towards the vampire girl. This was the hybrid he had sensed earlier. Her body was definitely a Fey’s and her teeth were sharp and pointy, but her fingers were something different. They were unusually thin and small. He had seen those kind of hands somewhere before, but he couldn’t quite place it. He turned away as the spirit agent answered his question. “いいえ” He answered in Japanese, but from his expression and the way he spoke, Ashton was pretty sure the boy meant no.
He turned his head in the direction of the cat boy just in time to hear the boy shout and start rushing at him. The first attack he dodged easily. He took out his dagger and crouched, prepared to stab the boy as soon as he got close again. A new stranger suddenly appeared between the two. “Enough. Both of you.” Ashton didn’t like being commanded by this Immortalitis, nor any monster, but he was glad to stop the fight. He had more important things to do than stand around and fight a mad kitten.
“Whatever.” He answered the silver haired guy as he hid his dagger in his belt again. He glanced at the cat and wrinkled his nose. Then he addressed the spirit person who seemed to be very wary. “As long as you don’t attack me, I won’t bother with you.” Making sure he didn’t go near the angry fourteen year old, he advanced, heading over to the hybrid and bloodsucker. On his way he noticed the werewolf heading towards the group from the East. Ashton shook his head. What were all these supernatural doing in this city?
Arriving at where the two stood Ashton stopped. “Give me the locket.” The bloodsucker stared at him before messing with the locket. After a few attempts to take it off she let her hands down. “It won’t come off.” He repeated the command again anyway, provoking the girl and making her snap at him. But apparently it was true; she really couldn’t get the damn amulet off. “I won’t hurt her.” He informed the hybrid. She seemed powerful and, although there was a high possibility Ashton could beat her, she would definitely put up a fight that would injure him badly.
“I’m over here.” The vampire whined. He crossed the gap, eyes always on the half Fey half vampire. He reached for the amulet but of course the girl turned away and complained about him touching her without her even knowing his name. Ashton grinded his teeth and answered then returned to working on tugging the amulet off. She may have been a vampire but there was still trace of a whiny little human.
He was so engrossed and annoyed, that he didn’t realize he was bruising the girl until she practically screamed. “Let go of the freaking necklace!” His hands automatically dropped.
Shock crossed Ashton’s face. He hadn’t done that on purpose. The amulet was controlling him. Then the girl had to go and say she wanted an explanation! He shot her a quick glare before looking at the hybrid. Did she know about the locket’s power? Would she tell the blood sucker that the locket had the power to control Ashton to a certain extent? Would she tell the mosquito that she had a chance to become a Fey? She wouldn’t dare. He narrowed his eyes, waiting for her to speak. Almost challenging the hybrid to tell the vampire.
