Clenching his fist, Nick shook his head before running his hands through his hair, trying to shake the thoughts out of his head. Tossing enough money to pay for his meal and give a very generous tip to Lynda, he got up. Nick hopped over the fence that marked the outside portion of the restaurant and looked around, deciding where to start his patrol. He had just decided to head toward Jefferson Square when the hair on his neck rose up, indicating daimons were nearby and most likely hunting for an unsuspecting tourist.

Scanning both sides of the street, he was just about to think he'd imagined it when he saw a woman that could be the one from his vision turn a corner down the road. She was short, probably just to his chest, with long brown hair. She wore a purple tank top with cutoff denim capris and flipflops. Her attention was adverted to the phone at her ear and, apparently, very upsetting conversation she was having with the person on the other end. Deciding it was just coincidence, he turned away from her.

With still no sign of any daimons, Nick's instinct told him to continue on with his plans to go to the square, but something nagged at him in the back of his mind. A feeling that he couldn't explain. Coincidences didn't just happen in his line of work. Nick looked around, searching for the source of the disembodied voice.

If the years under employment to a Dark-Hunter had taught him anything, just cause a spooky voice tells you to do something, doesn't mean you should. But the vision told him what would happen if he didn't follow the woman. Acheron's words that he loved to use and that basically every Dark-Hunter had heard at one time or another, played through his head.
And he knew that if Ash found out Nick had let a human die because of a voice telling him not to, he'd be in for a world of hurt. And considering the powers that Ash had, he could literally kill Nick and bring him back over and over if he was pissed enough. Not that he had ever know the Atlantean to do such a thing, but fourteen years out of eleven thousand is the equivalent of a grain of sand in the Sahara desert. A normal person's life span could be filled with life altering decisions that they regretted, ones filled with malice they were known for.
An ancient immortals life? Plus, his mother had raised him too well for him to ever forgive himself for letting an innocent die just because he was wary of creepy voices in his head. Though, given his record, noone could blame him for being cautious and slightly paranoid. You would too if you had almost every class of demon and multiple gods after you for a bounty that he couldn't even begin to understand.
With that, Nick hurried after the brunette while keeping to the shadows.
He had been trained well by Kyrian and Ash, along with his older self that liked to pop into his life randomly. It was now second nature to stay invisible to the people on the sidewalks and in buildings. Nick's neck began to get goosebumps as his own demonic powers picked up on the nearing daimons. He stopped just beside a dumpster to search the way he came. But still there was nothing.
He crouched down then pulled out his sword, imagining it the length of his forearm. It's enlarged size provided him the reflective surface he need. He focused on it, but instead of the vision from earlier, he got nothing. Not even a sliver of anyone or anything. This was bad, he had never been able to not see into the future after gaining control of his powers. Returning his sword back to its previous pocket knife size, he stood up to watch the young woman.
Only, she was nowhere to be seen. Kimberly Bailey prouded herself on not being afraid of much. Even though she was careful of her surroundings, she wasn't paranoid. But for the last four blocks, she had the sense that someone or something was folowing her. And if she was being followed, for how long? She had been on the phone arguing for awhile before she got the feeling that ran up her spine and made her ears burn. Speeding up, she hurried across the street. Turning to look behind her, she thought she saw a large shadow where she had just been, and it didn't look like it belonged to a person.
Not sure is that was terrifying or a relief, she didn't think twice as she broke out in full speed. Her flipflops went flying, allowing her to grip the concrete better. Kim could hear approaching footsteps and alot of them. She glanced over her shoulder as she turned down what she thought was street but was, of course, a alleyway with so much trash in the middle, it had been turned into a blockade.
Doing a quick about-face, she rammed straight into the wall. Thanking years of dodging legos, hotwheels and dinosaurs figurines, she kept her balance instead of falling on her back. When she looked at the wall, it was what she feared. She had turned into the cliche. Instead of a wall that she ran into, there was a group of people decked out in black and staring at her like she was a pot of crawfish. If you got an issue with brunettes, don't take it out on me. Personally, I like being blonde, but it's too hard to keep up with the roots.
The lone woman stepped up, grabbing Kim's jaw and moving her face side to side. The woman looked really smug for some reason. Kim shoved the woman's hand away. Just cause this is New 'Awlins, don't mean you got's to be freaks. And you ain't doin' anything with my soul. The group chuckled, like she was a toddler spouting that they were big enough to live on their own or something. And it irritated the piss out of her, until the wall opened his mouth wide and she saw the scarily realistic fangs in his mouth. Being as careless as only she can be, she has made her confession to the wrong person, who happened to be the school's devil, Ah Meng her junior, a first year student in school.
Ah Mon picks up the letter. Ah Mon is amused by the whole thing and decides to have some fun with Qi Yue.

In this way, she will not be afraid of Ah Mon's disclosing the love letter anymore. To Qi Yue's surprise, Yuan Yi has a similar liking for her. While Qi Yue assumes that the whole ordeal with the devil is going to end, she receives another piece of bad news - her mom is going to marry the school's chairman who is also Ah Mon's father, which means Ah Mon is going to be her stepbrother.
Qi Yue's love letter is being put up on the school notice board and she misunderstands that it is Ah Mon who did it. She confronts him and storms off. After realizing that she has misunderstood Ah Mon, she apologises to Ah Mon and pleads him to hit her so that she feels better - Ah Mon kisses her instead.
After Qi Yue walks away in tears, Ah Mon has a strong feeling of guilt.
