Chapter 30: The Devil Knows You

Janice p.o.v

I still felt weird seeing all that just went down. Luther fell back behind to talk to me. "Don't feel bad Jan. Those hunters would kill you given half the chance." He said. Still, he was just a young guy. Luther classical ring tone filled in the air and he fished his pockets to get his phone. "Hello? Oh, yeah , I remember." He walks away pacing back and forth looking distraught.

"Are you serious? Right now? Ok , I'm come over there." Luther ends the call still pacing. "Luther?" I say.

Luther's grip on my hand was firm, his pace brisk and urgent. I could sense the tension radiating off him, and it made my heart race. "What did Marcus say?" I pressed, trying to keep up with his hurried steps.

"He found something important about the symbol," Luther replied, his voice taut with worry.

"He wouldn't call unless it was urgent."

"Oh," I say. We reach the two vampire as they just sat in the car waiting. Soon as we got in ,Luther start talking.

"I need to see Marcus. Right now." He said.

"Marcus? That pathetic imbecile still alive?!" Torres was surprised. Luther ignored him and turn to Aries.

"Remember those strange encounters we had with Lana?"

"I do." Aries replies.

"Right. I found a symbol on a girl whose dead. Thing is, I never seen that symbol before and I know lots of symbols. I found it on her wrist, it was fiery and black and looked fresh. I went to see Marcus to see if he knew anything, but none until he just called me to come in. Now." Luther said. Aries nods saying we're going to Marcus. It took us forty mins to get back to Marcus shop. We all got out and Luther popped the trunk grabbing a bag. We went inside and there was Marcus waiting at the counter.

"Sup Marcus." Luther waves. Marcus wave us , but he had a slight frown.

"Ah prince Aries, I haven't seen you in years." Marcus enthused. Aries steps forward offering his hand to Marcus to shake.

" I was busy in London, you know royal business." Aries smiles. Then Marcus stretch his neck seeing Torres face.

"Thought I made it clear I don't want to see your face Torres."

"Believe me, you're the last person I wanna see." Wonder why these two didn't like each other.

"Ok we're not here for that. Marcus, what did you find?" Luther asked. Marcus sat there eyeing Torres but no words came out.

"Come to the back and I'll tell you." Marcus locks the door to his store and hung the close sign. After that, he walked to the back nodding us to folllow. The back room looked dull with no colors.

"Have a seat." He said. We took our seats as Marcus went behind a curtain. He came back with another man who looked young.

"This is Ethan. He's the one who found out some information." Marcus introduced.

"Hello, I'm Ethan, I was called because of a symbol right?"

"Yeah. Were you able to find something?" Luther questioned. Ethan nods.

"Where did you find such a symbol like that?" He asked.

"Off this human girl who passed away." Luther answers. Ethan nod and took a seat looking at us each in the eyes.

"That symbol is very old. Even I can't fully understand it, I'm guessing where this came from is old and powerful. This symbol is evil . " Ethan said. I let this process in my head wondering about it.
