The silk sheets of her bed cradled Cleo in a warmth that she believed was all but lost in this world. But when it made surprise appearances such as this she couldnâ€™t help but savor the moment. Her dreams often transported her to places that were not possible in real existence, but regardless she loved it. It gave her a momentâ€™s peace in her life, one that hardly showed up. The organization she was in had often tried to make things a little bit easier, but Cleo believed their attempts were futile. To a true hunter, one that has felt pain and loss, they would need a fucking miracle to take that hurt away, even briefly. No amount of parties or events could save the destroyed minds of a few select people in their clan, and Cleo was one of them.<br/><br/>But as she lay in her cocoon of blankets some of that pain chipped away, and she felt like she was nothing more than a child again. A little pup without a care or worry in the world; even as her eyes fluttered open from her sleep the feeling stayed. As she watched the sun crawl across the floor slowly she smiled a little, finding herself calm at the sight of it. This moment could only last so long however.<br/><br/>A knock fell upon her door bringing her down to reality again. She rose up out of bed and propped herself against her pillows. â€œYes?â€<br/><br/>Her mentor came in with a grim look on his face, â€œI need you to come with me, my dear.â€<br/>Cleo sighed and got out of bed, â€œWhatâ€™s happened? You donâ€™t look like your normal selfâ€¦â€<br/>She walked over to him; the severity of his state came off stronger as she got closer. He turned away and led her out of her room as she followed obediently behind him.<br/>â€œWill you tell me what has happened?â€ Cleo piped up as he remained silent, starting to be genuinely curious on why her mentor had been so harsh.<br/>He huffed as quickened a bit in pace, â€œA demon has attacked a base of our Agency over in Point Reyes. From what Iâ€™m understanding the fatality rate is high, and that the demon is not acting alone.â€<br/>Cleoâ€™s eyes went wide with concern.<br/>â€œCal has got a man on the inside informing him, but I am not sure for how long.â€<br/>â€œWhy does this concern me?â€ Her brow furrowed.<br/>He shook his head as they turned a corner, â€œYou are my best hunter, if a plea for help is called you and a team will go and assist. I do not have a doubt that you wonâ€™t be able to handle it however.â€<br/><br/>The entered into a small room with computers and tech that filled every wall. Cal sat at the epicenter of it all a maleâ€™s terrified voice ringing through the systemâ€™s main monitor.<br/>Cleo was sickened just hearing this man speak, the horrified reverberations of his voice would be something that haunted her for a while. It soon ended, when all she heard was sound of his soul being taken away from his body. A noise that was all too familiar.<br/>â€œAdam!â€ Cal called out, â€œADAM! Talk to me!â€<br/><br/>A little bit of bumping rang through the other end, but soon a voice came through, not Adamâ€™s but a different, more devilish one. Through her boiling rage Cleo knew this was the demon that started the slaughter of the Point Reyes base. Her fist clenched as she tried to contain herself. Her mentor placed a hand on her shoulder trying to get her to calm down. But as he spoke she grew more and more enraged toward this demon.<br/>All legends should have a nameâ€¦Call me Johnâ€¦<br/>Those words echoed throughout her mind, and in an instant she could take no more. She heard the dying of the other end, and she knew all connection to Point Reyes was lost now.<br/>â€œSend me in.â€ Cleo said through clenched teeth.<br/>â€œThink clearly Cleo; do not let this madness get the better of you.â€ Her mentor said firming his grip on her shoulder, â€œYour anger will be the death of you.â€<br/><br/>Cal whirled around in his chair to face both of them; all the color in his face seemed washed away.<br/>â€œWhat do we do Vitore?â€ Cal said through his fear.<br/><br/>Cleoâ€™s mentor dropped his hand from her shoulder, and scratched the back of his head.<br/>â€œContact the other bases, and tell them to go on lockdown. There is no telling if this demon will attack again. Prepare a lockdown here as well, if worse comes to worse we may have to relocate to the main agency with the other bases.â€ He looked to Cleo, â€œI will be rounding up a group for you; I doubt youâ€™ll run into much trouble, but if you do I know you can handle it. I need you to secure the area, kill any demons that are straggling, review the video files there, and collect evidence. If we ran into this demon before we will certainly have a database on him. You think you can do that for me?â€<br/><br/>Cleo nodded turning away to go back to her room to prepare to leave for Point Reyes.
