THALIA'S P.O.V
The roaring sound of my black Pulsar RS200 dies down as I park within the curb, not far from the bar I was heading to. Taking off my helmet, I run my fingers through my hair as I get down my bike and head into the bar which was quite occupied with a handful of people.
"I'll get Moscow Mule." I tell the bartender who nods and turns to prepare my drink. Sipping slowly, I muse over the happenings of the last few days which weren't much except from a few werewolf kills and the same old lead follow-up on the target.
I sense someone slide into the seat next to me and just when I thought I was having a good night, I hear a familiar voice which I hated.
"Well well, look what the cat dragged in. It's been a long time Thalia, lovely to see you darling." Her words were like snake venom, poisonous to the soul.
"The feelings are very un-mutual Sophia, what the hell do you want?"
"Awwn not happy to see me Thally?" I send her the stink eye as I look at her. Sophia Turner was a huntress like me, favoured before my fathers eye she was the devil incarnate, she'd do anything to make my life a living hell and I mean anything. "Don't tell me you're still mad about what happened between me and Ken?" Her voice is taunting, Ken was my ex-boyfriend who fucked Sophia even knowing about how much I detested her. He was a real dick.
Scoffing, I reply, "Mad about that? How lowly you think of me Sophia. You were always hungry for leftovers anyways." I say leaning closer to her and I see a muscle tick as she glares at me in anger.
"He wasn't that good anyways, you can have him back." She sneers venomously.
"Not interested thanks, now if you're done pestering me, I'd like you to leave me alone so I can drink in peace." I say boredly looking away from satan, taking another gulp.
"Your father sent me, apparently you're so incompetent that you can't even get a simple task done, have you gone soft? Here's a reminder Thalia, get your shit together and do the fucking job or you're out."
Enraged, I slam my cup harshly on the table before getting up-close to her face.
"And here's your reminder Sophia, you go back to my shithole of a father and tell him I've got the fucking job covered. And bear in mind that I've fucked you up before and I could easily do it again. Don't. Push. Me" I could see the slight glimmer of fear in her eyes but she still kept her chin up.
Smiling bitterly, she replies, "You think you're all that huh? You just a psychopathic scared little girl with mommy issues.." In a flash I had my fist flying across her face before grabbing her by her hair, slamming her head down onto the counter, twisting out of my hold, she manages to get a punch at me which I quickly recover from before twisting her arm behind her, giving her a kick at the back of her knees as I pin her down.
"I swear to God Sophia I will kill you within the next minute if you're anywhere next to me and I don't give a fuck about what my father would say, don't fucking test me." By this time, we had gathered wandering eyes as the noise in the room had quietened down considerably. Releasing her harshly, she stumbles but quickly regains her balance, scurrying away but not before mumbling 'bitch' to me.
"What the fuck are you folks looking at?" I scowl at the curious faces who immediately turn away from me. Annoyed, I step out in need of a smoke which usually calms my nerves. Normally I could tolerate Sophia's annoying habits but my mother was a delicate subject to me and she knew that, she never wasted a moment rubbing it in my face.
Lighting the cigarette as I lean against my bike, I inhale deeply and then let out a huge puff of smoke, already feeling the relaxing effects kick in. I needed this, I knew it wasn't a good habit and my mother would kill me if she ever saw me smoking as it was a familiar habit of my fathers' but I didn't care at this point, I needed it.
I blow out a few more puffs when I hear a whine followed by a faint scream in the distance. Holding the cigarette in between my lips I listen for the faintest sound, I hear nothing and just as I'm about to resume smoking I hear it again.
"For fuck sake, can't a girl chill out in peace." Putting out the cigar with the heel of my boot, I mount my bike intending to go home when I hear another scream but this time it's a plea. Reluctantly, I get off the bike and follow the trail of the voices, stumbling upon Sophia who had a knife in hand and a naked little girl who was bleeding from her side.
"The hell's going on here?" I cut in, causing them to look at me. The girl with a pleading look while Sophia looked at me in disgust.
"What the fuck are you doing here and what the fuck do you think is going on dumbass? You told me to leave and I did, so I'm telling you to get the fuck out of my business." Clenching my jaw with folded arms, I have half the mind to leave her to her shit but then one look at the poor girl on the ground has my resolve softening, she was a werewolf damnnit, I should let her die….but she was just a child.
Stepping closer to them, I stare at the little girl for a moment before speaking, "Leave."
"What the fuck are you doing Thalia?" Sophia grits angrily as she looks at me,
"I said leave." I speak loudly, the little girl doesn't waste another moment before running for the hills as Sophia turns to face me, swinging the knife.
"You're fucked bitch." And with that, she lunges at me.
