I found my way into one of the most notorious places in the LA black market. Few dared question me as i passed through the bar and to the back room where i knew she would still dwell. When my hand touched the door knob i heard her voice call me in.
"I have been expecting you boy." She said when i entered.
"Still you insist on calling me that, old crone?" I asked with a smirk.
"It is only what you are."
"You know why i am here then?"
"Of course." The old woman smirked, "The girl is getting very interesting."
"Oh? What have you been playing at old woman?"
"I only gave her what she wanted- a way to fight those terrible beasts." She smiled nastily as she said it.
"Oh you didn't."
"I did. Nearly destroyed the little maggot, but those pesky friends of hers pulled her through."
"I'm glad. I thought i told you i wanted her for myself?"
"I was only testing her, dont get your nappy in a twist."
I snarled,
"You are not so powerful, old witch, you'd do well to watch your tongue." But she only smirked,
"And yet you need my services boy."
Damn i hate this old bitch. But she wasnt half useful.
"True enough." I conceded. "You can do it?"
"Of course. I do love your way of doing things. Allow her to become confident, then tortur her to within an inch of her sanity, and kill her. It's almost poetic... "She gave me an odd look, "Although, i wonder... do you intend to kill her? Or make her one of your own? I fear you have become attached to this one... obsessed, perhaps?"
"We shall see." I said gravely. "Just do the spell. What is the price?"
"An owed favour, as always." She replied. I nodded, and left as she closed her eyes and began her trance.
*3rd person*
Across the city, warm in her bed with Joshua's arms around her, Maya's sleeping face frowned as dreams she'd thought she'd left behind once more began to filter into her mind. Images, real and imaginary, amplified and accentuated by the terrors of her short life, flashing ceaslessly through her thoughts, and forbidding awakening until dawn.
