"I answered your question Laura now answer mine why do you want the former demon hunter?". Nick asked. "am sorry about your father but if and only he was there earlier my parent wouldn't be dead.

" What happened to your parent? ". He asked. " Let go of me nick or am going to blast your face ".she threatened. " You can as well blast my heart". He said. "You're wrong about me nick am not a good person". She said a heavy fire emitted from her body hitting nick away. "Don't follow me nick Robert". Her voice echoed with fire ? emitting from all over her body. She dashed away immediately. Nick sat in pain and watched as she went out of sight. He tried to stand up but his femur and humerus bone wasn't in place again as he hit the wall. "Dislocation! Shit". He cursed out. He felt the impact of the pain seriously and almost regretted going after Laura. But still he needed to know what happened to her parent. Did his father killed them? No. She said if he had been there earlier, what does she mean? Nick was in this though when he heard incoming footstep. Fear shock him immediately and he looked into the darkness wondering whether Laura was returning to finish what she started. But surprisingly Glenn walked into the corridor. "Hey dude what are you doing here?". Glenn Asked looking around. "Did you fought with someone and got your lips broken?". Glenn asked. "Yeah. Plus a minor dislocation on my femur and humerus". Nick said. "Shit! Is it that bad". Glenn said and looked up. "A spider above your head". He added and Nick looked up, he quickly grabbed Nick's leg and stretched it. Nick screamed out as his bone shift back to it position and without hesitation Glenn grabbed his hand and did same. "Dude? You shouldn't have pranked me". Nick said. "If i had tried to do that with you knowing about it you would have bitten me in pain". Lance said. "Well thanks Glenn". Nick said and Glenn helped him up. "So can you tell me what fight caused this dislocation cos am greatly stupefied". Glenn said. "Can you keep secrets Glenn?". Nick said. "Yeah. We've been friends for years and shared our deepest secrets". Glenn said.. "But this a first class secret and the reason am telling you is because i can't do this Alone, i need your help". Nick said. "Anything dude, am available". Glenn said. "Firstly Glenn can you tell me about your family? About your parent?". Nick asked. "Nick i think we shouldn't go into that aspect, i don't wanna bring back the memory". Glenn said as tears starts started forming in his eyes. "I know Glenn, Am bringing back the pain but maybe with it i can bring back your sister to her senses". Nick said and Glenn was shocked. "What are you talking about?". Glenn asked. "Tell me Glenn what happened to your parents?". Nick asked. "We "we Lived happily as one family until we relocated to Vice City where strange occurrence started happening, Funny creatures attacking streets and Killing. No one had an explanation for this but there was a man in a mask who always fight this creature. He calls himself the Demon Hunter and everyone wondered if this creatures were demon and he was hunting them Down. It took time before we knew that he was hunting demon. It all happened on a picnic in Dante Beach ? when two of those creatures who call themselves tricky and Franni attacked the beach. We all ran Helter skater and when tricky tried to grab Laura my dad grab tricky away but she forced her hand into her his heart and mom was killed by her too when she tried to attack tricky that was when the Demon Hunter arrived but it was late already ". Glenn said and burst into tears. Nick held Glenn tightly and consoled nick. " My parent were already dead in a pool of blood. While the Demon Hunter fought this evil woman, Franni possessed Laura but was casted out by a powder but little i knew that her powers had entered into Laura". Glenn said in tears. "That's why she want vengeance". Nick said. "vengeance? The Demons just suddenly disappeared and the Demon Hunter too and no one knew of their were about but my sister had become a bad tempered girl and always transform to....". Nick said and stammered in tears. "to a monster with blue face but no she's an angel". Nick said. "Stop trying to console me nick, if you've seen her You'll understand ". Glenn said. " I've seen her, Blue face, red eyes and hair and a black mark and her head ". Nick said. " Huh? ". Glenn said in shock. " How do you know about her ? ". " She was responsible for the dislocation ". Nick said. " Oh my God but I warned you to stay away from her ". Glenn shouted. " No i won't. Laura is a good person Glenn we just have to make her think so". Nick said. "You know what nick? Laura thinks she's a monster and currently searching for tricky and the Demon Hunter cause of the mysterious events happening in Vice City". Glenn said. "That's why she works at AMC". Nick said and Glenn nodded. "The Demons were captured but they're actually back". Nick said. "And how do you know about this?". Glenn asked. "We should be thinking on helping Laura?". Nick said. "Laura needs no help, all she wants is to kill the Demon Hunter and tricky". Glenn said. "What do you think about the Demon Hunter?". Nick asked. "I don't think he's really responsible for the death of my parent, if there was no demon hunter I would have lost everyone including Laura but it's good i have her even if she's going insane". Glenn said and tears began to drop from his eyes. "It's okay Glenn, we'll get her to think same as you". Nick said. "And whereas why did she attack you?". Glenn asked. "Because am the Demon Hunter". Nick said and Glenn laughed out. "Stop the Joke idiot you're making me laugh even in tears". Glenn said. "Am serious dude". Nick said. "You're from The trauma of been beaten by a Girl let's get going, it's getting dark already ". Glenn said and helped nick as he staggered down the corridor.
