Chapter 3: Chapter 2: Encounter with the bloodsucker
General POV
It was nighttime and we find Miracle and Salem sleeping in a small shack they found and the both on the other side of the small room tired after their recent 'score' and they were both put cold. A shadowy figure of a woman suddenly appeared inside the shack and she looked directly at Miracle with a smirk revealing her sharp fangs. She was very beautiful with pale skin, long flowing black hair, golden eyes, wearing a red dress. She was the same vampire like woman Miracle so kill the man at the club.
"You're quite the interesting Shutz user aren't you young one. ~" Her voice was very seductive. 'And quit the potential you have maybe that's why I haven't killed you yet.' She was about to stroke his cheek when.
"WAKE UP PARTNER!"A female's voice screamed for his head jolting him awake.
"Fuck again maybe am just being paranoid." He then went back to sleep while the woman was just outside.
"Interesting indeed." She then turned into a bird and disappeared in the dead of night.
MC's POV
It's been four days have passed and I had helped James turns out he basically made use a street performing act. Yeah, James has the ability to produce paint from his body and forms into whatever he imagines up and they act as live constructs like when he draws a man, he could make him dance or a tiger to chase the man. But he told me it's not automatic as it works like actual drawing a contracting where he draws the image in his mind a replicate the process through the paint he produces.
When he does this and if he does manage to draw in a small crowd, I would sneakily telekinetically steal a little valuable on them like some money or food but never anything remotely close to everything.
But there are times where I would takeover in controlling his already contracted paints when he got tired just to keep the show going for him. It was also good practice for me too as I got to experiment with my powers on liquid substances it was really difficult at first and I messed up a tone but I'm improving. We operated at night because this part of the city we live in is mostly for those with the nightlife. We didn't get a lot but just enough to help us get buy
I had asked him about the city layout and so he told me there were four districts Twilight district, Techno district, Aqua district, and White district and that's all he told me as he didn't know their specifics. We lived in the twilight district and as I said it's a nighttime sort of place so you can also say it was the entertainment district.
Now we found a new place to hang out in a small shack
"Are you still playing with that thing." James asked me as he saw me struggling to float while holding and hold some two iron bars we found in thrash. "Miracle dude stop your nose is doing that bleeding thing again!" Yes, I tried lifting heavy objects like broken cars as training and but that was a bad ideas as I got an getting high flow of nose bleeds.
I did do the typical bend a fork or spoon thing and did it with multiple on top of that and the constant thefts my control was at least okay. It was extremely hard though as I had to be extremely focused on maintaining my psionic power on myself and on the iron bars. I dropped to the floor and my head was aching a bit as I wiped my bloody nose.
'I really wish I had a better place to train my abilities though.' I thought to myself.
"Now that your done with that I found a great place we could perform tonight." James said getting my attention. "We're going to the late-night bite club!" When he said that my eyes widen and I remembered the guy who was bite and killed by that vampire looking woman. It happened at the area of the club he happened to speak about.
"Woah there my guy picks another place." I told him and he just looked at me confused.
"Why the late-night bite is a great place to do it I heard from some adults that the club is like one of the most popular around so it will have a big crowd plus it's really close by." He argued.
"James man for one it's not that close by and two that place is dangerous plus there are other places we could go like movie theaters or something."
"Why people in clubs are easy targets why are you so worried dude!"
"Okay I saw a woman kill a man by draining his blood on time when I was close the area."
"That's sounds crazy you were probably just seeing things!" He scoffed and crossed his.
"Chistiru I just told you I saw it!" I yelled at him.
"Whatever am going to do this with or without you!" He's stubbornness was really getting on my nerves.
"Chistiru." I said again
"What does that even mean?"
"It means you're stupid." I said to him which he tried throw his paint at me but I redirected it back to him hitting his face. "Why do you want to go there so bad?"
"Am tired of living this life Miracle first the orphanage I was in shuts down now the am on the streets I want to make it big one day and so I won't to make and save a lot of cash to be able to buy a place where I can freely paint my masterpieces than make money off them and build an art empire!" He said with passion but I just rolled my eyes in how Shonen he sounded but I decided to go with him just in case.
That evening
"I told you I was a little far." I said to James leaning on a street light. The weather was a little chilly luckily, we had enough to buy some cheap worm clothes from an army veteran store.
"Hihi my bad." He chuckled sheepishly getting everything ready. It was 9:00pm and we were a little close by the late-night bite club in Haze Street.
I turned to the alleyway I saw the murder happened and it still makes me light headed as what if that woman came back for me. Call it paranoid but there are times I felt someone or something watching me from time to time and I woke up there was no one there. But I wondered sometime for one it's been like two weeks since I got transmigrated here and the only other Shutz user I met was James were are the others. Two if people are aware of Shutz users do they know about the other supernatural creatures in this world.
And third, if that was a vampire, I saw last night and not a Shutz user with abilities similar to it than does that mean there are other supernatural creatures in this city? Then are their devils and fallen angels round here too? From what little I've seen in dxd this is Azazel's sort of place and a high peerage recruitment site for devils and most supernatural factions from the show really not just the biblical ones if there was a high number of us around.
"Hey partner you ready!?" James said getting me out of my deep thoughts.
"O-oh yeah let's do this." I said still very nervous about this place.
Sometime later
"Man, that was great we got a lot more than last time." James said as we were on to of a roof of a counting our earnings. The most of the people were either drunk high or both so I was easy to steal from them. There were sober ones who just enjoyed the demonstration and gave a little pocket change but after an hour (that was James's limit) we were done and left the area.
I still kept an eye out for anything supernatural but I didn't see anything weird all night which was a good sign for now at least.
"I really enjoyed your street performance boys despite being amateurish at best. ~" Both of us heard a woman's seductive voice from behind them and we jumped a bit turning and saw the black-haired woman. "Hello there. ~" She waved at them.
"Oh shit." I swore as I saw some woman who sucked a dude blood some time ago.
"Oh, may you look only five yet you have such colorful language. ~" She giggled while I was sweating bullets and Jam.
I really didn't want to know what she wanted but she seemed like trouble so I did the only thing which came in my mind. I saw a vent by the building so I telekinetically ripped it of and throw it at the woman but she easily caught it and she just looked at it amused.
"James grab the cash and run!" I said to him now James might be passionate about art and making money but he was not a hot head how picks fights. He lived on the streets long enough to know that unnecessary fights were a bad idea especially that his ability wasn't really combat adapt yet. So, we both jumped off the roof.
"What the fuck." I heard the woman question.
He was all tried from using his powers but he still had enough for some less time-consuming a like a paint parachute it wasn't perfect and I was mostly holding it with my telekinesis because I couldn't fly yet. It wasn't a smooth sail and our landing wasn't graceful but at least we still got to the busy streets and some how did fall on anyone.
"D-dude just who was that lady she really gave me the chills." His voice was a little shaky.
"She's that vampire woman I told you about now let's go!" I said in a rushed voice as the to of us began to ran but as we ran, we stopped and looked in disbelief. The woman every pedestrian passing by just seem to make an open room for her and the red light from a street sign gave her one of those beautiful but terrifying backdrops.
"Now that wasn't very nice if I was a normal person you have seriously harmed me." She fake pouted at me.
"Dammit." I whispered and then began used telekinesis to make three trash cans fly to her but just dodged and swatted them away and I made a sign full on her she simply caught. People saw this and began to ran and assuming that they were calling Aspida or the police but as soon as they started, they stooped as they seemed as everyone seemed just to go on their night. That was weird.
"Okay stop attacking me and causing property damage alrea-…" She did finish as James through a ball of paint at her which she tilted her head and dodge which splatted on a car on a parked car. "Did you just throw paint at me?" She said getting a little annoyed and James just gulped he than launched paint hook at a passing truck and he grabbed me and we took off.
I had floated us on the roof top of the truck . As it got to a traffic light we hoped of and walked and fist bumped thinking we got away from the woman.
"Oh~ how I love a little chase.~" She was there right in front of us again.
She moved so fast that I couldn't track her and lightly copping James on the back of his neck knocking him out and she just lifted me up by my shirt making me look straight in her eyes and I was scared thinking she was going to suck my blood like the other guy that day. I was about to use my powers to push her away.
"Use your ability again and I will kill you." She said menacingly.
"What the hell to you want." I was still scared she would suck my blood.
"Easy I just want to talk so be a good boy and don't resist.~" She grinned showing of her fangs and I just flinched at that. A man who had a looked like a bouncer from a club came by and picked up James and we went into off.
Sometime later
I was in an office with red lighting looking at the woman I assumed of a vampire drinking some whine are at least I thought it was and had a tray of cookies on her expensive looking table.
"Aren't you going to eat deary?" She asked but I just looked at her suspiciously. "There not poison deary if I wanted to I would have killed you after you saw me drink that man's blood days ago." She said and she just picked one up and handed it to me. I was hesitant as its not like she's forcing me to but provoking someone leagues ahead of you is a bad idea so I ate it and I was pretty good.
"Pretty good write?" I nodded. "So tell me little man what's a young Shutz user like you doing here in these parts of the Twilight district and don't lie to me." Her eyes glowed a bit.
"Huh man me and friend were just here to earn some money."
"You mean steal like ever other one of your little street performances." She said and my eyes widen. "Yes I was watching you from time to time after you so my little act. I was going to kill you in your sleep but I noticed you were a Shutz and so I became a little intrigued by you."
"Where's James and you a v-vampire?" I asked the aching question.
"For you first question his safe just um sleeping in anther room and for your second question not am a Estries you could say we're a sister species to vampires." She said the word vampires with so much venom in her voice that I flinched a little. "Oops let a little too much aggression out there."
"Um so what do you want?"
"Well for one it that hair color natural?"
"Huh yes."
"Really that's interesting. Second I never heard of a Shutz user awaking their powers at such a young age before why aren't you or your friend in Begabtes pre School or something?"
"Bega-what." I asked not knowing what she meant.
"You don't know really don't know?" I shock my head. "Hm infesting from what I could tell you really don't know much about this city don't you." Again I shock my head. "Than how about a little proposal. You hang out with me and I offer you education and a place to train your abilities and in turn you do a some jobs for me."
"If I refuse?" it was a dumb question I know.
"Well for one some women you took some money from are were also Estries and they really didn't like the fact you stole from them so if you live they will most likely track you down and kill you or keep you as a personal food supply for a little bit as Shutz users are tend to be more delicious than normal humans.~" She basically gave me an ultimatum.
"Fine. I can't answer for James though but can I ask one question though?" She nodded giving me the green light. "Am are there other supernatural creatures here like devil's or fallen angels and are people aware of them?" My question made her raise her eyebrow.
"Oh~ so you know of the more supernatural side of this world but there are no angels, devils or fallen angels here just regular humans, Shutz users, Estries, and some Zauberer are the races which are allowed here and for the general public's supernatural awareness well it complicated." She answered and finished her wine.
"Okay but silly me I forgot to introduce myself my name is Kristina Renwick the leader of the last remains of the Estries faction.~" She offered her hand which nervously took.
"Miracle but I bet you ready knew that." I also introduced myself cursing myself what I had landed myself into.
