Like any good story this started at night; when everything seem to be a bit more... how do we put this... bat-sh*t crazy then usual. OK that is a lie. It was actually a normal boring night when my life change in a way I would never forget- BellaDe
The air smelled like it did everytime it as about to rain- that crisp, earthy, woodsy, light, and some what musky smell- which around here was rare. Due to the up-coming storm, the night held this slight chilled. Still the city was as busy as ever. Everybody was rushing to get gain that high that only the night could bring to them whether that bee through sex, drugs, or gambling. The desert was more alive at night thn it ever was during the day. Clubs lines the street for miles casting neon glow to the busting passangers. A pair of hazel green eyes watch the bustling and hustlig of the world below her apartment. She was leaning on her balcony rail with her favorite drink in her hand, rum and coke. Even though the lights were bugging her eyes, the sensation of the up and coming storm had her feeling a little restless tonight. How she missed her hometown where she could just walk to a local park to enjoy nature. Here she had to go at least two hours from town to even see a freaken tree! Unlike her hometown, she was accepted and could be around others like herself especially at night. She check her watch. She had a client that was suppose to be here in an hour. She took a sip of her drink. The client that just left almost made her lose her professional smile and slam his head into the glass table. She shook her head. What part of she is not a "professional" in that sense did he not get? The man was looking for a piece of tail and kept trying until she threaten him with a removal of something. She growled a little. When she sat with him two weeks ago, he hired her to track down his ex-girlfriend only to find out the chick had died in a car accident two years ago. Not waiting to touch any more of her saving, BellaDe waited a week before informing him of this to which she realize he already knew. When she tried to show him out he then tried to convince her to do help him out in the bedroom and offer to pay her big bugs if she did. She shivers as the though of what he would feel like made her stomach turn over to which she took another siip of her drink. She heard her clock chime. "30 more minutes and the next one should be here soon..." She whispered. She didn't have much to go on. Just that the client needed her help with something and instead of going to the law enforcement he was seeking her out.
She hate going into a meeting blind, but the guy didn't want to send her something by fax incase someone else picked it up by mistake or it was lost. She didn't even get his real name just some fake he asked her to use until their meeting. She took another sip of her drink. She hope it was not another vampire. Most of her clients when she first moved her 9 months ago were vampires. They were always seeking someone who stoled something or didn't pay a debate. Did she look like freaken loan shark? But whatever, they paid good bucks and she could still use her skills. She tore her eyes away from the street and turned to face her small apartment. Well... not small... she did buy one of the penhouse in the local hotel. It was nice to have a money saved up. Especially when you go months with a job. She lean back agains the railing as she drum her fingers on the railing. She was ready to meet and be done ad start the job. She took the last sip of her drink before she headed inside and sat down at her computre to check emails.

"Really.....I can't believe it...me...babysitting a snot nosed brat who won't...let go of my pant leg...." He looked down and there she was. A small little five year old looking fae child in a black cloak and she was looking up at him with those pretty puppy eyes as if he had hurt her feelings and he scoffed and looked forward. " you heard me...and I'm not taking it back." He growled lightly and looked forward with his dark crimson eyes and his black hair was caught lightly in the wind even though he wore his ornate red cloak. His trigger finger was itching really bad as well and that wasn't safe when around this little girl. He wanted to shoot something and since the only target was the child he was sh*t out of luck. He looked to the buildings and he finally saw the large hotel and he sighed. " great...rich stuck up people that will be drunk and filling up the lobby and judging me every second and with every step I make...probably will think me a pedafile for having this kid with me." He looked down to her and shook his head at the look on her face like she was worried. " seriously I will abandon you, don't test me with looks like that.." he went to the check in desk and asked about the woman he was to meet and he knew the room and told Dusk who then started to walk with the girl still attached to his pant leg and he went and got into the elevator. Top floor of the hotel in a pent house. Figures. When the doors opened he saw on the walls that there were cameras and he looked to them and his eyes flashed red in them as he looked forward and stopped in front of the door and knocked and then looked to the girl." This woman will hopefully be able to help keep you safe and the best thing that could happen would be if she would take you off my hands....I need a drink." They waited to see who would open the door not knowing that they would be a great change to the one on the other side of the door.

BellaDe looked up from her computer and place her hand on her gun sitting at the small of her back. She thought she heard a knock... there it was again. She looked to the screen and saw a tall figure with red eyes and a small figure standing at her door. She raised an eye brow. "What on earth?" She mumbled. She got up still keeping her hand near her gun. She went to the door and press the intercom "This is Safe Haven... do you have an appointment with Miss Dark?" She said in her most polite southern accent. Unlike a lot of people who grown up in the South, BellaDe has always been able to lose her accent or mask it with another. It helped her a lot when she have to hunt someone down and didn't want to get pegged or discovered. Use to drive her ex-boyfriends insane when she would answer the phone as a random chicks, not that she realize she was doing it on purpose. The cloaked figured answered yes. "One moment.." She replied. She inter the safe code so that the inside camera would turned on. If anybody killed her, the cops would at least see who it was- granted they wouldn't be able to hear anything. See but not record voices. It kept sensitive information from leaking out but providing her with a safety net should anything happen. Short-hand case notes (still keeping out sensitive information) and billing information should help with motivate. At least that is what she tried to do.
Moving out of the way, BellaDe open the door and allow for her clients to step in. "Hi, I am Isabella Dark... please come sit down." She noticed that the small figure was actually adorable looking child. She smelt something as the child walked past her. It almost smell like... that a fae and something sulfur? She shook her head as she tried to figure what that other scent was. She would have to wait and see. Something tells her that she is not going to like where this meeting is going. Maybe she should have made a double... oh goodie, goodie.

Okay let's get to business. This little girl needs protection. She is something important and needs to live and blah blah...people are out to kill her from her own kingdom and there are probably people here as well that have been hired to take her out as well....I don't know all the details but I do know she is safer with others and not with me. So...that being said I leave the girl in your care and thank you for all of your help and know you will do well and keep her alive. You are a credit to your freelancing kind and I bid you a fare well. " He started to turn around and had a smirk on his face as he had the full intent on leaving but fate would have it that it would not be so easy.

She don't know when her professional smile left her face. Maybe when he said that the child was important or her favorite part... when he said he was going to leave the child in her care. No speak of payment or time frame. She quick moved in front of the door. She held a finger up. "Ummm... no, and not just a no... but let's add a h@#l freak'n no! No... not accepted... do not want... won't do... do I look like a freak'n baby-sitter! Not to mention that I am not free." She spoke with a slight annoyance in her voice. "You are not going to drop off your problem on me... first off we are going to discuss information like your who, what, when, where, and how much. Secondly, if I do accept I am sure not doing it alone. You brought me this problem and you are going to help. Again this will all depend on whether I am going to accept the job." She took a breathe to keep her temper in check. "So be a gentleman and sit back down so we can discuss information and I will pour us a drink and get the small one some juice." She pointed to the couch.

he raised a brow and then growled lightly before looking back at the couch and he spoke lightly. "if you don't mind making mine a double or even a triple." he said lightly before turning around slowly and making his way back over to the couch to sit down and wait for the woman to talk business with him. He slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out a large wad of cash and he placed it on the table and then crossed his arms and sighed. " my name is dusk and what I am isn't important but the girl is important. She needs protection.." he looked to the girl who ended up.moving over and lightly grabbing his cloak and holding it and he looked away and back to the woman." So miss Dark..what do I need to do to get this girl safe and in your hands?

She poured bourbon in one class with little ice. She poured herself another rum and coke and pour a small cup with juice. "No, I don't mind..." she replied. She heard him growl back. She was impressed that he didn't try to push his way. She saw the wad of cash on the table. "Ok, why is she important?" She asked, "Who is after her and why are you looking at me." She offer him a class. She saw the girl was still clinging to him. She offer the young child a cup when she wouldn't take it she place it close by. "Drink it when you are ready... sweetie." She smiled softly at the girl. "What made you look to me. I am sure there are others you could have sought out." She said.

He thought for a second and took his glass and did not bother With drinking it slow. No in fact he took it down as quickly as he could even with the ice making it difficult. " cause your a female..everyone else is male and you being the only female means you know what your doing, that you're brave and most likely special in some way shape or form and you can protect her more than they can...
That or you are insane and are way in over your head...I'd like to think you are the prior." He looked to the girl and looked to her juice and grabbed it and took a sip and made a satisfied sigh and then the little girl looked to him and finally took a sip for herself. He only looked forward and kept talking to miss dark.

"Seriously? You are going to play the gender role card on me?" She shook her head, "the insane part.... starting to sound more correct." She mumbled. She couldn't believe she was seriously looking at taking this job, but if the little girl was in that much danger, could she really sit by? She looked and watched the man take a sip of the juice and was going to say something when she saw the young girl start to drink afterward. She just lean her head to the side. "Fine... I'll help you out... but you don't get to wash your hands free from this. It will be a two person job..." She said coldly. "You can take the early morning shift and I'll take a later morning to late evening. I am assuming you are not accepting this job because you want to keep from being tainted... but I am not getting a child dropped in my lap..." She looked to the young girl. How was she suppose to gain her trust? Maybe something will come to her by the end of the meeting. She took another sip of her rum.

Tainted is actually a very good word to use...I run a business and appearance is everything.I can't be seen with the little squirthings but if you will not take her even if the money is good then fine. We will have this be a two person job and I will watch her in th email morning and you Can take her for the nights. That way she is constantly under watch and protection and we can keep her alive until her stuped kingdom is done with there pis!ing contest." He placed his glass down and looked to the little girl and sighed lightly and spoke to her. " you cause lots of trouble for bein so young. "

"I get it, but I cannot keep a child around 24/7 either not when there is not "x" time being given." She said. She looked from the girl to the guy. "Two person is the best and you can just pay me half of what I normally charged." She couldn't help but to chuckle at the pis*ing comment. She understood how that goes. She dealt with that a lot in her hometown especially when people realize her family was not 'normal'. She looked down to the little girl. "I guess we should get to know one another..." She said as she moved and kneel in front of the girl. She offer her hand and just waited. "Hi... I am BellaDe..." She said with a soft smile. She just waited to see what the girl would do.

The girl looked at her hand as did the guy with her and funny enough when she looked over to Dusk he looked away and crossed his arms and the girl then looked to miss dark and then proceeded to take her hand and shake it lightly. Dusk watched the two and growled a little, it was unclear if it was from anger or something there but it happened and the girl seemed to he okay with taking her hand and she smiled just a little and then hid it as if smiling would cause them all harm in life.

BellaDe saw the girl look to Dusk then back at her. She was relieved to see the girl trust her enough to shake her hand. She could see how unsure the girl was about anything. She sighs softly but kept her smiled. "Be ok with hanging out with me some?" She asked. She haven't been around kids since her nieces. How she missed them, but she had to be free and sadly that wouldn't have happen if she stayed. "We can eat ice cream and maybe watch some movies. What do you think?" She asked.

The little girl smiled just a little and she heard the bit about ice cream and watching movies. The little girl I've never had a normal life so something as simple as movies or ice cream was foreign to her. it all seemed amazing and so new and different. Dusk looked at her and saw that the little girl would indeed enjoy being with Ms dark.dusk scoffed and looked the other way. "I hope you can keep her entertained. It would be bad if she ended up destroying your place or something like that." dusk smiled a little at his attempt to make the little girl sound like a demon child. But in truth miss dark wouldn't have any problems with a girl. the biggest thing they had to worry about was who was after the girl.

"Can't be worst than the devil spawn my brother had..." She whispered. She smiled when she saw the girl's reaction to the ice cream and movies. She lean her head to the side. Did this girl had a closed off life? She shivers thinking what that was like before her father realize he was destroying the family. She shook her head pulling herself out of thoughts. She loved her life hear- and her brother was doing good and her uncle was happy. She was happy- that all that matter these days. "I am sure we can figure out something else if she gets bored... do you want to stay or do you have another engagement." She asked standing up. She would have to go see if she has any of her nieces stuff here.
