I was busy in my room with my laptop, when I heard a scream from Ruby. I rushed to the hall to see, Ruby looking tensed as she was speaking to someone on her cell.
"What's wrong?". I asked in a surprised tone.
Ruby hanged up the call and hugged me rather tightly as I saw a few drops of tears rolling down her cheek. I was shocked as I have never seen our little sister break like this. I immediately knew something was wrong with the trio, as it was way passed their time of return after patrol.
I shook he softly and made her sit on the couch.
"What is the news?", I asked in a heavy tone.
Rubbing her tears Ruby said slowly, "Jung, the ghouls attacked Florida. She is badly injured and then blacked out after fighting all the six ghouls alone. She has lost a lot of blood, they are bringing her now. I am really worried this time Jung. She is a real weakling with no experience. What will we do?"
I clenched my fist in anger. What were they even thinking letting her take on six ghouls together at once. Even we trained hunters have serious chances of dying in such a situation and Florida she is not only new to this, but also very young.
I looked at Ruby and said, "Will you be able to cure her?
"I don't know, this time its really serious brother", Ruby replied rather defeated.
"Ruby gather your confidence, you're the best curer I ever got to know. I am positive if you give in your best, you will be able to cure her back to health. Don't you remember how you have nursed us all back to health, when we came back heavily injured."
"This time its is different you know that. This is six... s...i...x...six...ghouls..... we are talking about. Please ask your friend Sammy, to come. He might able to work it out."
"Are you kidding me right now? Sammy!! Even if hell looses, I will never allow him to step inside our place. That vixen, will take this as an opportunity and will blackmail us to include him in our hunt. And I am not doing it."
I got off and started taking impatient steps in the hall and waited for their arrival.
Florida entered into our life four years back.
We four are hunters. Not four but actually three. We hunt ghouls and protect the human race. We too are special beings. Our identity lays hidden to humans, only some creatures like other hunters from downtown and some Vampires are aware of our presence. We mask our aura when we are there with the humans.
Ruby is a healer. She has special strength and can heal anyone injured by a supernatural being. She is rather an expert. She never steps outside our home because other supernatural creatures might sniff into her aura and kidnap her to serve their own benefit.
Lee, our Uncle is only 36. He is our Boss and we follow his orders. His combat power is, he can wield the Eagle sword the most powerful sword to kill ghouls. He has also the gift of far sight and dark vision. Hoong and I are 22, we both are twins. He is very good with riffles, guns and whip. His one strike and kill three to four ghouls at once. He is also a prophet, by touching people he can get a glimpse of their future, but only if it is related to their death or injury. Whereas, I am gifted with the craftsmanship skill, so I create the weapons for them. I can also create fire balls to kill ghouls. We all have superhuman speed and vision. But my olfactory sense, is special than the others. I can smell the presence of ghouls and other unearthly beings.
Now we all her special beings. But what about Florida? Florida, as I said came into our lives four years back. Florida's mother is a vampire and her father is a ghoul Hunter. We Elocossa's carry the bloodchain of hunters that has been passed down since decades. So we all are born into the family of hunters. But Florida is different.
Her parents are not only powerful but crazy rich. They are the owners of 'Feenix and Florida Corporation'. It is the biggest MNC in LA. They have a chain of many businesses. A few years back the family was attacked and Florida's elder brother Feenix died in the hands of Ghouls. Florida under mysterious circumstances survived. But from then on she lost her power. Her parents told us in secret that she tried to save her brother but failed to do so and instead lost all her abilities. If others were aware of this then they might try to attack her. And also Florida hunts down the ghouls as a revenge to her brother's death. We have stopped her many times, but who can stop her, because she is very stubborn and single minded.
Florida's father Henrik is a good friend of Lee and requested, rather begged him to take her under his care. From then on Florida is with us fighting her alibies as human to increase her strength and fight ghoul. After the accident she became really sacred and fights like a newbie but then she have us to protect her.
Now that she is so badly injured who is to be blamed for this callousness. How are we to forgive ourselves and to Florida whom we promised to protect.
The sound of footsteps jarred me from my thoughts. I looked up and the sight before me, swept away the ground from my feet. Horrorstricken I looked at them.
