"Your suggestion is the most ridiculous I've ever heard, anyone with a better idea?". Dwayne announced with a cocked eyebrow.
" They look very stupid, but they make a good suggestion, sorry I'm late for this meeting I barely care about." A redhead lady that seemed to be the only one with fashion sense in the whole of Jyka approached the party. She was dressed in skin tight red shinny leggings and red leather jacket with red knee length boots and red gloves, you'd think she just hopped off a power bike if she were human, the only thing lacking was a helmet. She had her hair done in a wavy fashion and had classic make up that consisted of red smoky eye and blood red lipstick on. She was so red and sexy you'd think she's some avatar in a video game. The way she swayed her hips sensuously as she walked towards the party was entrancing. She wasn't moved by the gawking all around her, she only wanted one man's attention.
"I see you've been paying frequent visits to earth Isabel". Dwayne's expression was disguised with an amused smile.
"Well, though mortals make me sick, they sure know how to make one look good". The woman rolled her eyes and took a seat next to Dwayne on the ancestral dining table that was converted into a conference table. Everyone knew who she was, the goddess of blood magic, leader of the blood sect and most importantly, Lord Dwayne's bride to be.
"So tell me Isabel, why do you assume the guardian's death to be the only solution of this imminent disaster?". Dwayne drawled, not that he cared about her opinion anyways, not anymore. Not when it involved that beautiful mortal with large eyes and strong guts.
" Mortals are not reliable Dwayne, those slimy things might try to use her to rule over us. They always act like they know all, like they are better than everyone. The underworld has hidden from them for fear of going extinct. Jyka has also served earth with all it's resources bit they think they own the universe with their crappy knowledge and useless technology that causes nothing but doom and disasters. In one one, that mortal is a threat to the supernatural ". She was in a rage, and everything that had blood running through their veins were currently boiling, with the exception of Dwayne of course. As expected of the blood magic goddess, she tends to transfer her aggression on innocent people whenever she got pissed off or irritated.
"Calm down my Isa, it's not about the superiority or inferiority of mortals that's in question now, it's the question of the future of Jyka, we can not kill the mortal". Dwayne was unperturbed, he was already used to her tantrums, they've been together since very little.
" What do you suggest we do then?". She pouted.
"I suggest we bring her to the water sect for proper protection for now Lord Dwayne." The leader of the ice sect offered subtly.
"Tsk, that's not going to solve anything sister, you'll know that if you aren't a dumb leader." Isabel sneered, ice queen's expression was as frosty as usual, nothing could ever get her to show emotion. The typical queen of ice.
"We shouldn't be hauling insults at each other in public meetings like this sister." She emphasized the word 'sister' because she knew how much Isabel hates to hear her call her that.
"Iara, you—"
"Lord Dwayne, I sense the guardian is in danger now". Lucia interrupted Isabel, which only made her furious.
" How dare you—"
"Situation?" Dwayne was the one who cut her short this time. She fumed but kept her mouth shut, she had already been humiliated.
"Mortals are surrounding her and she looks scared to pieces."
"Meeting adjourned. Isabel, come with me."
"I'm not going —." Dwayne didn't let her finish, before hurriedly dragging her and zapping out of sight.

Bethany wasn't a small frail figure, but she wasn't of huge stature either. With the average height of 5" 8 feets and slim build, she was doubtful that she could take down this four big intimidating black kids even if she knew a thing or two about punches. Apparently, they heard the conversation she had with her dad earlier. 'Way to go Dad, you just earned me a few more enemies on my first day in highschool'. She wondered where Brian was and prayed in her heart that he gets here soon.
"Hey daddy's baby, how about you play with us." The biggest of them jeered and the others laughed mockingly.
"Oh yeah, his about truth or Dare?. Tony, I dare you to kiss our daddy's girl over here. James, I dare you to film a video of it and Maxwell, I dare you to post it on the school's news forum". The black kid with locks challenged everyone in his gang, it appeared that he was the leader.
" Ewww!, my skin crawls when I touch white people that has the skin of frozen turkey. This one even looks whiter, I hope I don't puke". He was definitely looking forward to the kiss, but he had to act cool in front of his friends.
Bethany was petrified as the big fat guy in his oversized tee walked towards her dramatically. 'I'm so done with highschool if I manage to get out of this.' She had never dreamt her first kiss to a douche bag that got offended by her Dad. She had hoped it was going to be magical and it will be with her first boyfriend, someone she'd meet in highschool. But it was going to be the other way round.
Bethany shut her eyes tight, she was aware he was already standing in front of her and maybe his warming his lips up for the 'act'.
"OK, I have the camera so you'll kiss her when I say action, wow this feels so damn good."
'Maybe my dad was right about coloured skin people'. Oh how she dreaded that lips that was as thick as a wall devouring her delicately cute lips.
"Aaaaaaaaand action!" The camera guy called out. Bethany almost cried as she waited for that ugly lips to swallow her head while.
But no action happened.
Or action happened, grim action happened.
