The deal of a lifetime

[forbiddenmoon]

Looking for some one to play this out with me. Someone who is good at writing and fantasy your character would be the male demon,.                   Kristen took a deep breath and let it out slowly as she tried to control her temper. This was only her third customer and the day hadn't even started yet. She listened as they explained what was wrong with their order, and what they wanted to fix the problem. She nodded her head slowly ,a fake sympathetic smile on her lips. Her voice was calm and polite as she spoke quietly."yes, mam. Again I'm so sorry . I will have the manager come speak with you right away and have this remedied immediately."
Kristen turned and walked away letting out a frustrated breath. The cooks had made the food wrong again , and now the customers were upset. She growled in frustration. So much for that tip. She smoothed her white button down blouse and walked quietly up to the managers office ;where he sat busy at his desk with paperwork piled everywhere. She grimaced at the idea of having to face him. It's not that he wasn't handsome. Any girl would fall at his feet begging for attention. Any girl but her.
He had the famous business style cut to his hair that allowed it to be trimmed to fall against his neck, but still look professional as he kept it swept to the side. As his usual ;he wore a black business suit with a light blue tie, while his feet were covered in expensive black dress shoes ,that seemed to shine no matter what got on them. His eyes were a delicious light blue. His skin was perfectly tan. His build suggested that he worked out alot and was in good shape; while he was a decent  enough person,  he had a way of making  her skin crawl, with the way he looked at her sometimes.
She was nothing special,  If anything , She was average in her looks. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail as was her  normal style. She wasn't overweight but she definitely wasn't supermodel skinny.  Her hair was red, auburn really by most standards. It fell down her back just  past her  shoulders and was heavy and thick, but she had to admit it was soft and as smooth as velvet. Her lips were full and a soft pink. Her facial features were delicate and feminine and amazingly clear. People often asked how she kept her complexion so clear and perfect, but she didn't ever know what to tell them ,it just was. Her skin was ivory white ;while her eyes in her opinion were her best feature. They we're beautiful and big ,and changed colors with her moods. They were the only thing she really liked about herself. As her friend Stacie often told her she had the perfect hour glass figure. According to Stacie she also had this confident walk to her step like she didn't care what anyone thought . Kristen smiled, her  lips curving  up at the memory. She figured her friend Stacie was just trying to be nice. In all honesty she really didn't have a care as to what others thought about her ,as she had her own dark secrets to hide. She was amazed really that she had stayed in Oklahoma for this long usually she had moved on by now , but she had found this job and then the apartment and one thing after another had become an excuse for her to stay a little longer. She placed the  pen and pad she was holding in the black apron around her waist and studied her black slacks and shoes for a moment , apprehension and dread filling her as she moved to stand in the doorway and cleared her throat.

   Michael looked up as he heard a worker trying to get his attention and smiled as he noticed it was Kristen who stood before him.
She was unique and stood out from his other staff and was his favorite among them all. She was quiet and polite and had an air of self confidence that she didn't seem to realize she had. Not to mention she was beautiful to boot an  didn't flaunt it as others so often did.
Perfect ivory skin , big beautiful eyes, and luscious kissable lips. Yeah she was definitely on his fuck list. He stood walking over to her. At 6'1" he towered over her. He guessed she was about 5'6 or close to it. He smiled as he watched her eyes widen as she took a step back.
   So she was uneasy around him. He smirked. All the better he liked his women submissive and she would be his before it was all said and done. The only thing that aggravated him was she seemed to not be attracted to him at all, while the rest of the women couldn't wait to catch his eye, Kristen remained aloof to his attentions, which only fueled his desire to own her completely. He turned walking back to his desk. He guestured to the chair for her to sit and bit back a growl as she shook her head and stood in the doorway. He raised an eyebrow at her leaning back in his chair slightly ,his voice domineering as he spoke, " Pray do tell me what it is you need Kristen since you choose to rudely declined  my invitation to sit."
Kristen's heart thundered in her chest . She really did hate him a times. She took a breath and stepped forward clapsing her  hands together to keep them from shaking as she studied the ground and spoke." The cooks messed up an order at one of my tables and the customers want their money refunded. I wouldn't bring it to you, but this was messed up twice now and only you can authorize a refund sir." She waited patiently wincing at the harsh tone of his next words.
" Is it they messed up, or you put the order in wrong and simply wish to blame them for your mistake?" He smirked waiting for her answer . An idea suddenly coming to him. He wished he had thought of it sooner , but now was better than never.
Kristen glanced up anger filling her." My order was correct I double checked it both times, it's the cook staff that has the issue with following directions." Kristen lowered her gaze to glare at the floor trying not to lift it . Glaring at him would be a mistake.
"Very well , go out front and we shall look at it together. I will be there momentarily. If it's wrong because you put it in wrong then you and i will be coming back in here to discuss your continued employment here. If it's their fault ,then they shall be the ones to answer...

    Kristen stormed from the restraunt. The cool night air filling her lungs as she took a deep breath and tried to calm down her flaring temper. She walked down to the bus stop and sat down , her mind replaying the conversation and  incident over in her mind. She knew Michael had given her the creeps for a reason, but to stoop so low as to try and manipulate her into having sex with him was going to far.
  She remembered her confidence as he had pulled up the order she had put into the computer, and then did a double take as she looked at an order that wasn't even close to what she had put in. Her order had been changed. Deliberately. She had a good suspicion as to who had done it  , but it hadn't been confirmed until he had dragged her back to his office and closed the door. He had offered to allow her to keep her job on the condition that she slept with him.
He had told her no one would ever know and had even proceeded to tell her that they were to be in a relationship and he would provide for her every need, even going as far as to tell her she would be moving into his place. At which point she had slowly stood and removed her apron.
    Oh yeah . She had seen the excited gleam in his eyes as he thought she was about to give in to his demands right then. Her satisfaction had come when his expression had changed to shock and surprise and then anger as she threw her apron in his face and had promptly grabbed her purse and left. Yes she was without a job , but he was one person shorter on his staff, and she had wounded his pride and probably his ego in the process. The latter making her smile in delight. The smile on her face slowly slid away. Her body going ramped stiff suddenly , as the hairs on the back of her neck stood up. She leaned forward to pear around the corner of the wall of the bus stop. She slowly took in her surroundings only to feel her heart skip a beat and lodge in her throat.  She had been to angry to pay attention to her surroundings when she left in her fit of anger , which probably just cost her. She glanced uneasily at the black van moving slowly towards the bus stop she sat at. Heart pounding Kristen took a deep breath and stood up slowly before taking off  down the  road in a full out Sprint . She dodged quickly to the left and down an alley that led to several fenced in back yards. She shot over them with  practiced ease, her bag slamming against her side as she ran.
   She had planned an escape route just in case the people she had been running and hiding from found her again, and they had. She knew better than to stay in one place for to long, but Oklahoma and its vivacity for life had grown on her. She jumped the last fence and dodged behind a dumpster as she heard an engine roar loudly and glanced out as it sped past her. She jumped up and raced down the alley she had dropped into, toward the place she had hid her emergency pack. She swung it on to her back and ran for the red dodge avenger she had hid . Throwing back the cover that hid it she slid into the drivers seat starting the engine before throwing it in gear and slamming her foot down on the gas.
    She drifted out of the alley onto the main road. Her heart racing faster as another black van slid in behind her. She jerked  the wheel hard right and took that street to the main highway, the van staying on her until she swerved at the last possible second to take a deserted road that veered off the highway. She smiled as she saw the van fly past the turn . They might be able to find her, but they were stupid when it came to out maneuvering  her on the road. Not to mention she had taken great pains in learning every possible road in Oklahoma  every curve and hidden alley. She let out her breath slowly and worked on calming her racing  heart. She guessed it was a good thing she had just lost her  job. She rolled her eyes    " what a fucking night."
  Kristen reached over and rolled down the window and pulled her pony tail loose shaking her hair out as the wind blew it behind and  beside her. Enjoying the feel of it as it caressed her face. She took a different road every thirty minutes, keeping her direction different knowing they would try and follow her.  Once she was satisfied that she had thrown them off her trail,  she drove toward the next town . Her mind and her nerves a complete mess.
This had all started the day she had healed a kid in her neighborhood. She knew she shouldn't  have, but her heart wouldn't let her walk away from it. Kristen had always had the ability to heal people. She had learned about  it while  She was in high school. Her mom had been into witchcraft, which she had eventually given in to temptation and tried just for fun. She had wanted to heal their family pet, which had popped up sick suddenly so she had taken water and jokingly had mumbled some nonsense words while spreading the water with her hands over the dogs body. She had went to sleep only to wake up and find the dog completely healed, which had of course freaked her out to no end.
She had refused to do anything again until a boy had gotten hit by a car and lay in the street dying. Kristen let her mind wonder back to that day.
     It had been cool and the air brisk. She had been in a hurry to get to class . She had seen the boy jerk free of his mother's hold to chase a toy he had dropped into the street. Kristen had felt like time had slowed down as she ran for the kid only to stop horror filling her face as a car hit him head on. The boy lay there lifeless his mother screaming as she pulled him into her arms crying  out for help. Kristen had turned and told the person next to her to dial 911, before rushing over . The driver had backed away and took off down the road out of sight. She remembered the sick feeling she had felt in the pit of her stomachs as she had ran to their side. At least until she saw the kid was still alive but quickly bleeding out and unconscious , at which point she had taken the kid from his frantic mother and had pulled the two water bottles she had from her bag. She looked at the mother telling her it would be ok and to please not tell anyone what she was about to do. Kristen had quickly poured the water onto her hands and had began rubbing  it over the kids wounds and chanting  under her breath. The same nonsense words she had said for her family pet. She had smiled as she watched the wounds on the kid slowly close and heal, but had panicked as she felt her energy draining as she grew weaker. Apparently while she could heal people she also took away from herself to do so. The mother had sat their in stunned silence until her son had opened his eyes and looked at her. The mother  had jerked him to her and held onto him crying and she had taken the opportunity to quietly slip away from them. With only her and the mother and one other person there she figured no one would find out. She had been wrong. Three days later , someone had broken into her home and tried to kidnap her. They had succeeded, but she had been smarter. Playing unconscious she had waited for the perfect moment before , breaking free and escaping . She had been on the run ever since, and frankly she was getting tired of it. Kristen shook her head and focused once more on the road before her. She slowed down as she spotted a hotel ahead and pulled in. Parking the car she walked into the office asking for a single room on the ground  and giving a fake name for the roster. Taking  the key she got back in the car and started to pull away only to stop as an idea came to her. She glanced in the mirror and quickly away biting her lip in indecision. Black magic was the one thing her mom had warned her against. Yet she couldn't think of anything else that might work better than summoning a protector. She blew her hair out of her face as she made her decision and drove to the nearest dollar General. She walked in smiling at the cashier before making her way to the back aisle where the candles and smell goods were kept. She grabbed four black candles and a pack of dragons blood incents. She smiled at the cashier as she placed them on the register.
"This all for you honey?"
Kristen nodded,"yes mam that's all I'm needing for now."
She paid for the items hurrying  back to her car, tossing them in the seat beside her. She took her time driving  back to the hotel room, her mind racing. She knew that dabbling in black magic was forbidden in her family, but it's not like she had a choice right. She was practically running for her life. She parked the car in front of her room and looked around her carefully before getting out and racing  for the door. She slid the key in and unlocked it, pushing it open quickly  She rushed inside slamming the door shut behind her making sure to lock the door. Her emergency pack on her shoulder with the bag of stuff in her hand she walked quietly over to the bed and threw both down as she walked  toward the bathroom. Kristen looked at her appearance in the mirror and sighed. Her hair was wind blown and needed washing, while her work clothes were filthy and torn. She turned and stripped dropping them to the ground to pool at her feet before she turned the shower on and stepped into the hot spray. Kristen moaned her lips parting slightly at the feel of the hot water caressing  her fatigued body. She allowed herself a few moments of bliss under it ministrations before she quickly washed her hair and body. She reached down with a reluctant sigh and cut the water off as she leaned her head sideways wringing  the water from her hair before dry in  He  body and wrapping a towel around it. She quickly ran the towel over her wet hair. a quick glance at the beside clock showed midnight was five minutes away. Kristen reached for her emergency pack and slipped her night clothes out. a lacey pink camisk with white fluffy bottoms . while the bottoms covered her legs completely the camisk only reached halfway down leaving her stomache bare from her belly button down. Her stomachs was smooth and flat holding a hint of being toned. Grabbing the candles she placed them before the mirror making  sure they were equal in distance before lighting them and then lighting the insence. Kristen took a deep breath and turned shutting  off every light in the room. She shivered as darkness surrounded her and walked slowly toward the mirror. She wasn't even sure if it would work, but there was no harm in trying. well there was harm, but it was better than no protection at all. Kristen let her gaze focus on the mirror letting energy pulse through her until her image stilled completely and she could see her own aura in the reflection. slowly she spoke, her heart pounding.
" I don't know if you can hear me or if this is even going to work, but I'm seeking and asking for a protector. someone to guard me against those who are after me. I don't know what you will ask in return but I'll accept whatever it is, in return for the protection"
Kristen waited holding her breath. Ten minutes later she rolled her  eyes and blew out the candles. Frustration evident in her movements as she threw the candles and the insence away. She should have known it wasn't going to work. She wasn't her mom and had next to no experience with magic. Kristen stopped and turned as she felt a rift in the air, the hair on the back of her neck standing up. Seeing nothing she rubber her hands over her arms and walked over to slip into her bed not bothering to turn on the lights. She didn't have anything but her attackers to fear after all. Kristen laid back as she felt sleep reaching out to her and gave in, her eyes sliding shut and her dreams taking her.
