Chapter 3: Swampy Waters....
"Not so fast Sophie." Gabriel said, making me and the others, stop and look at him, "I have the perfect hunting spot for you guys to go to."
My eyes widen as I know what will come after this, "Gabe,it's okay, we can find our own demon.Thanks,but..."
"No, no.. it would be my pleasure and after all..." he gives a sly grin and raises his right hand lazily , "Teleporting is so much faster... don't you agree Sophie?"
"Gabe don't you dare!"
Gabriel chuckles a bit. He then flicks his wrist and the floor starts to glow like the sunlight was underneath us. It was bright but not overbearing. For me,I don't like to teleport. I hate it when Gabe teleports me for one reason and that's when the floor vanishes.
Before the teleporting was complete I heard Gabriel laughing and saying, "Happy hunting! And try not to kill each other."
(11:30pm area: UNKNOWN)
We landed in a really creepy, most likely haunted, area of what seems like a Louisiana swamp.... or a Missouri swamp. Lucky for some there was at least a dry patch of dirt for them to land on, but luck wasn't on my side tonight. Because next thing I knew,I was in the middle of the swamp trying to tread water and figure where the rest of the newbies were. I find a tree and swim to it. I cling to it as I reach for the silver cross around my neck which held my ruby calling crystal
[Hopefully Gabe decided to link all the crystals before teleporting],I thought to myself.
I clutch the cross linking it with my mind and I call out to them,
[Alex...Isabella...Jacob,Mia....Is everyone alright?]
There was silence. That's when I noticed I was being watched and not by anything supernatural. It was just a gator... three or four to be precise. Those monster's heads one by one started poking out of the water and moving towards me. I pulled out one of my silver daggers that had not fallen off from when I landed, that was strapped on my left forearm and prepared myself for a beast of a fight.
My eyes dodged from one yellowed eyed beast to the next, just waiting for them to strike. I closed my eyes and steadied my heartbeat. I felt a slight pulse in the water to my left, I quickly opened my eyes, whirled around, and was prepared to stab a gator, but instead I came face-to-face with Jacob. My dagger stopped inches away from his throat.
"Whoa! Don't stab, it's me... Jacob."
I looked around and the gators were gone.(That was weird.)
"Where are the others?" I ask as I lower my dagger but not my defenses.
"Oh, Izzy and Alex shouldn't be too far behind me, and Mia took to the trees."
I let out a long drawn out sigh. Leave it up to Gabriel to mess stuff up from the beginning and separate the group. Just then a gator pops up out of the water right in front of me, but this one came belly up.
I turned to Jacob thinking he killed one somehow while my eyes were shut (which I doubted) and he gave me this look and said "It was not me."
I flipped the gator over to see that what killed it was a bullet to the kill spot (A gator's kill spot is at the base of their head and is the size of a quarter) and I wondered, if it wasn't Jacob, then who?
I turn to Jacob and say, "We need to get out of these waters, get the others, and make camp for the night. Understood?"
He nods his head and says, "Yes,ma'am."
With that said, Jacob and I started to swim through the murky swamp waters, until we met dry land.

☆"Somewhere far from the rest of the gang"☆
"Well,that dang chick's lucky I shot 'dem gators when I did." bragged one of the youngest slayers you would ever meet, "She would be dead if I didn't."
"Come on Abby, now you're just tooting your own horn too much." Said her partner Daniel.
Abby slung her sniper rifle over her shoulder and smiled. She loved her ability and she loved being a slayer. Each slayer has a different ability to help them carry out their jobs as slayers. For instance, Abby has the ability to move things with her mind (Telekinesis). She sometimes uses her ability to move the bullets to their proper target, when she can't make the shot herself.
"You don't even know who that girl was, do you?" Daniel inquired as he sniffed the air once more.
To explain Daniel's ability, he is as most would now call him a Werelion and has the power to not only morph his body to that of a lion but also heighten his senses to one as well.
Abby, who was walking away now, stopped in her tracks and looked at Daniel with a questioning look, "I suppose you know who she is, huh?"
"If I'm correct," he took a long sniff of the air and had a good idea of whom they had just saved, "We just might want to meet this girl and help her in any.
---------------------------
☆"Back with the gang"☆
I was cold and wet, and had no clue where I was yet. Thanks to Gabriel, I have to work with a bunch of newbies, which by the way, I didn't have a say in it at all. Now I was walking with Jacob, who was dressed in a black and blue wetsuit with no sleeves and short leggings. He also carried a sword, a standard silver saber I think, on his left hip, which was secured by some sorta belt. Funny how I pay attention to details like this now. I suddenly hear rustling in the trees and instinctively I go for my guns but was flattened to the ground by something quite large and feathery.
I opened my eyes to see that I had been flattened by none other than Isabella, who had just used her ability to try to find us but failed in the landing department.
"Oh my god! Are you ok?! I didn't hurt you did I?" Fussed Izzy as she tried to help me up but I batted her hand away as I got myself up.
"So you can fly?" I asked as I dusted the feathers from my clothes.
A smile broke across her face and she said, "I sure can,ma'am." She then spread her arms wide then suddenly it turned into a pair of beautiful white wings.
I eye her up and down. She was wearing a black corset top, a black and white knee high ruffle skirt, with black calf high low heel boots
[She's dressed more for a fashion show than a demon hunt.] I thought to myself.
"So what else can you do?" I ask.
She looks at me with this confused look on her face. So I clarified for her, "Do you do anything else other than flying?"
She was about to open her mouth to say something when all of a sudden we heard a Gunshot and sounds of a fight breaking out.
Now my main concerns were who got shot? Was it one of my newbies? Did they piss off a demon or just ticked off a cranky local? I just had to find out so I headed in the direction of the sound the shot came from, guns cocked and loaded. When I came to the spot, I was expecting a demon, gremlins, gators, or at least a cranky old half blind man with a twelve gauge shotgun, but this was more annoying than the rest combined.
