BRAGR) Refusal (Patreon)

“You do not have an option, Little Miss. I am here to take you and your friend there with me. With the reports we are getting, more and more of these things are appearing. We need people like you who know how to kill these things to work with us.” Davis seemed to not be here for the slime but for the orders he got from the higher-ups.

“Heh.” I summoned my sword. “I will say this now. Move or I will cut my way through. Those people who hide in their offices safe and sound while others are dying can stay behind their desks and hope the troubles outside do not find them. I wonder… How long will it be before the higher-ups die?

 “I was once human. But now I am what you see before you. I am a demon and since when do demons listen to humans? And as for my friend, as you put it, she is an angel. When did angels care about humans? If you want to continue this path. If you want to follow your little rules and laws, then so be it. But from what I can tell. This world is going to shit. And the first people to die will be you and those men you command. All because those pencil pushers are hiding in their bunkers while you are putting your life on the line.

“Good luck receiving help from others like me when you are here trying to command bystanders who just saved not only the swat teams but also the soldiers who would have had to fight next if I had not decided to help out.

“Life is not free. We came, we killed, and now…. We are leaving. If you wish to use force, I will not hold back.” I was not going to be playing these games. I knew very well if we fell into the military’s hands we would not have it easy.

“I agree with this girl Davis. Sorry but me and my men will not be letting you have your way either. The federal government has no jurisdiction here. Especially when it is just two young girls who came to help. If you insist on continuing then we will have no choice but to butt heads. And Davis, you know that is not a good thing.” Officer Higgins stepped forward as did all his men. It seemed my and Angel’s help was much appreciated which was nice to know.

“Higgins you can’t stop me since I have a warrant to take in any mutants.” Davis took out a slip of paper from his pocket and showed it to Officer Higgins who frowned.

“Officer Higgins, have your people back down. I can guarantee that these guys can not do anything to me or my friend.” I smiled at Officer Higgins before walking forward with sword in hand.

“Wh-What are you planning? Are you going to resist?” Davis yelled out while reaching for his gun, but just as he did a flash of lightning flew by and paralyzed him.

“I do not plan to do anything but I will say this. Your sense of duty I respect but that sense of duty should not be in the orders you have to follow but in what is right or what is wrong. Neither I nor my friend have caused any issues. We saved people today but are being treated like criminals instead. Basically what I want to say is, go fuck yourself.” I snorted before walking forward, one hand pulling Angel my other hand gripping the hilt of my sword. The soldiers who were standing there did not even raise their weapons. It seemed only Davis was being strict with his orders.

I gave the soldiers a nod before continuing to walk down the street. I could hear Davis who had just regained control of his body curse out but what can he do? He couldn’t touch Angel and me. If he tried to cause us harm we would do the same. He was lucky we only stunned him for a few seconds so that we could leave.

I also heard a hearty laughter coming from behind as well. It was Officer Higgin’s voice. It seemed he was enjoying the show. I was sure this would actually blow up on the internet and news. There were many news crews over seeing everything. Some would call me and Angel a monster while others would praise our resolve.

“Excuse me!” A voice came from behind. I turned to see a Channel Three News reporter standing there. She was young, maybe just out of college or maybe even high school.

“Yes?” I turned and smiled at her. It was not a bad idea to talk on the news. Maybe get the word out that people should start playing the game.

“My name is Katie and I am with Channel Three News I was hoping you could allow me a chance to interview you.” Katie looked quite nervous. I guess it did not help that the pink-haired thing next to me was busy scowling at her.

“I do not mind but do you mind doing it at the restaurant down the street? My friend and I had originally come out to eat and we are quite hungry.”
