ROLEPLAY HQ - in-the-shadows

"Everything okay Izzy?, Your awfully quiet tonight?..." A kind soft voice rang out through the now empty cafe, the dim golden lights only just illuminating the place, as Isabella stood on the other side of the room broom in hand as she swept the floor, she paused in her movements her green hues peering up to look towards the woman who she considered a mother, smiling lightly over to her. " Ah ..sorry mum just thinking about lot.." she said giving her a sympathetic smile before she went back to sweeping, her strawberry blonde hair tied back in a tight pony tail, a small whisper of hair escaped and flowed against her cheek making her hand come up to delicately tuck it behind her ear. " Anything you want to talk about?.." the woman asked as she came round the counter wiping her hands on her Apron, the woman was slightly taller then Isabella, small wrinkles alinged her features mainly under her eyes, her once dark brunette hair was showing signs of grey, small wisps pulling through her hair giving the appearance of highlights, her baby blue eyes watching Isabella with interest and clear concern, Isabella paused in her movements once more , looking to the woman with a shrug. " It's nothing, honestly...just thinking about college and assignments and..well you get the gist.." she said with a exasperated sigh, causing the older woman to chuckle. " Yes I do...you know if its to much you could stop here for a while?.." Isabella shook her head fiercely then. " no no Mum..its not , I can handle it I promise, besides I can't leave you here handling the hooligans we get on your own now can I..." Isabella teased causing the woman to laugh brightly. " what would I do without you hmm?..." she teased, stepping over to the younger woman now cupping her cheeks between her soft hands.

" Besides you can't be sad today, it's your eighteenth tomorrow you finally become a adult hmm? Lots to be excited about then.." she said causing Isabella to roll her eyes shaking her head. " It's just a birthday mum....nothing to get that excited about.." Her mother tsked her now shaking her head. " Oh Izzy, must you always snub your birthdays?...I promise tomorrow will be the best day , I guarantee it..." the woman promised giving her a quick hug before moving back behind the counter. " now let's get this finished and head home yeah?.. looks like its going to rain and I for one don't fancy getting drenched tonight..."

** Isabella could feel her eyes growing heavy as she stared at rhe computer screen infront of her, the words were all bluring into one and frankly she was finding it hard to concentrate on what it was she was writing, she shook her head trying to re focus her self but it was pointless, she needed to finish this assignment but it was going to have to wait, she Frankly couldn't keep her self awake any longer. Saving the document she closed the lid, pulling her body wearily from the bed she yawned and stretched, wearing a simple pair of shorts and over sized top she made her way to the bathroom, running a hand down her face she looked into the mirror seeing the dark circles beneath her eyes she frowned. " God I need more sleep..." she whispers to her self, but recently she couldn't, everytime she closed her eyes she felt uneasy..she felt like something was going on around her but she couldn't put her finger on it, she was probably stressed...stressed with college stressed with work, there was nothing really going on she was being ridiculous, and damnit she needed to sleep.

Stepping back into her bedroom she looked towards the small Clock, hearing the handles ticking gracefully as they edged ever closer to midnight, before it finally struck, a small smile coming across her features. " Happy birthday Isabella..." she whispered, her eyes looking to the door wondering what her mum had planned as she shook her head, she drove her crazy sometimes but god she loved her. She stepped towards her bed before she suddenly felt the pendant around her neck grow warm, her eyes flicked down to it swearing she could of seen it glowing, before she heard a loud crash coming from downstairs which made her still, her eyes turning to look at the closed door before she finally got the courage to step forward reaching for the handle with a shaky hand she twisted it and stepped out into the hall. " Mum?..." Isabella called hearing nothing but silence from downstairs, she walked towards the stairs, peering down into the darkness her eyes struggling to see anything but she was to damn scared to put a light on, she did how ever see a very dim light coming from the living room . " Mum was that you?.." Isabella called , but again was met with silence which had her heart racing as she carefully plodded down the stairs, wishing to god she grabbed something now to arm her self just incase, the closer to the bottom she got the colder it got, a rush of cold air pulled over her causing her to shiver, suddenly aware of the thick plumes of smoke the came from her mouth , why was it so cold down here ?...she reached the bottom turning the corner she became aware of a small light on in the corner of the room, she could see something on the floor beside the light curled up on the rug, Isabella stepped forward feeling her mouth run dry, her hands becoming clammy as she stepped up towards the figure before the relization hit her...that body was her mum

" Mum...MUM!..." Isabella cried running full pelt over to her , grabbing her body she twisted her round to see her face, seeing the blood oozing from a large wound on her head she gasped her skin feeling cold and looking pale, she couldn't see her breathing.. was she dead? Isabella sucked in her emotions. " Your gonna be okay...uour gonna be okay i ..." but before she could even finish her words she suddenly felt a colder blast of air behind her, chilling her entire frame almost sucking the air from out of her lungs, she went to turn before suddenly she felt fingers embed inside her hair, clutching at her thick strands causing her to cry out , reaching up to the hand before she was being dragged away , dragged down the hall , the sound of heavy foot steps rang through her ears. " GET OF ME!!.."She cried , trying desperately to wriggle her way out of the clutches of who ever had her, she tried to twist tried to see who it was but she couldn't, her head stinging from the pain she felt through her head as who ever had her clutched at her hair tighter to stop her from escaping.

Tears burned in her eyes as she watched her mother vanish infront of her , her lifeless body on the floor , as Isabella became aware of being dragged out of the front door which was now on its hinges and flung out onto the concrete, the feel of cold harsh rain pounded down against her skin as she rolled against the floor before finally stopping, her eyes coming up quickly to watch two figures come towards her drapped in black, their faces concealed by the thick black hoods they wore ." Hello Isabella, we've been waiting a long time for this " a voice rang out, deep and rough, a accent detected their, before her eyes saw something glowing in the figures hand becoming very aware it was a sword , her hair stuck to her face shuddering on the floor she pulled her self up to a sitting position trying desperately to crawl back from the figures enclosing on her the icy cold rain pounding down against her flesh. " we promise we're make this painless...." he snarled pulling the sword out before Isabella screamed , a blood curdling scream as the relisation dawned on her that she was probably about to die....

(( Firstly thanks for reading my prompt its much appreciated it! The basis of this story is, Isabellas mother and father were highborns ( Both with hunter abilities) they were incredibly strong and weilded exceptional powers, they were both killed , they hid Isabella from sight, protecting her from the demons, the institute found Isabella, her mother's dying wish was to allow Isabella to live a normal life for as long as possible, she put a protective spell over her protecting her from any attacks from the demons until she turned 18...now the demons naturally found out about her fairly quickly but could do nothing until she turned of age, the institute kept watch over Isabella through out the years, silently to see if she demonstrated any known skills, and of course were prepared to come and get her when the time was right... I'm basically looking for someone to play a Experienced Demon hunter, who will take her under their wing and train her and show her the way of the Hunters. Looking for a male for this part preferably, im a sucker for romance so would love that to be a option , so NSFW content would be included. If this interests you please don't hesitate to ping me over at #ooc-chat or #nsfw or even DM me. Look forward to hearing from you :) . (edited)
