The Immortal's Pet

Overprotective Uncle

LIGHT

“Light…”

“ Light!”

“ Huh?” I opened my eyes abruptly, I still couldn’t see clearly but I looked around trying to find out who was calling my name so disrespectfully!

“Light! Have been sleeping the whole f*****g time?!”

Ugh…

It was Eve, my newly appointed red headed partner who always acts like she own the entire S.S.C.P just because her uncle has been acting director for the past two hundred years…fucking blood suckers…they’ve been living for so long but yet they still crave power.

“Eve…” I gave her my best smile while I wiped the corners of my lips…who knows if I was drooling in my sleep?

“When are you going to learn that sleeping doesn’t complete missions or solve cases?”

I have known the woman for just a little over a year but she has been the biggest pain in my ass but thankfully, I am also good at being a pain in people’s ass as well, she can ask the board of directors in my company... they’re all so tired of seeing my face yet they can’t do anything about it.

“Well, since we pulled an all nighter yesterday, I just thought I could get some shut eye before you know...we continue our fifteenth day of trying to crack this case” I was sure she could hear the sarcasm behind my words but I did not really care, unlike everyone in this organization, I was not afraid of her, neither was I afraid of her uncle because one, her uncle was not the person who recruited me...I came on my own and two, I have nothing to lose if I lose this job because their pay is nothing compared to what my company makes in a day so I had to reason to try and curry favor with the director’s treasured niece.

“Don’t even bother, we’ve been taken off the case”

“What?”

“You heard me, the higher ups have decided that the case is way too complicated and important for a bunch of newbies to handle so they’ve taken it off our hands” Eve says and then plops down on the space on the couch beside me and sighed, she looked tired but she was still a b***h.

“We worked so hard on this and now when we are almost at the finish line, they give it to a bunch of old people to handle it...we are special agents for f***s sake!” she groaned in frustration and I couldn’t help but be frustrated as well.

I have spent a whole year training in this organization so that I can officially become an agent...well I graduated with flying colors and they did me the honors of putting the word ‘special’ in front of the agent word, it meant we were higher ranked and we were smart enough to take high rank cases but yet... because of Miss I-have-an-overprotective-uncle over here, we got the case that were like child’s play just so our lives would not be put in danger.

A few weeks ago a body of a thirteen year old boy was found in one of the woods close to the borders of the country, half his face was ripped out and the best part? It was done by claws…werewolf claws to be exact.

Whoever this werewolf was, he or she has broken one of the most important rules that the S.S.C.P has set in order to keep the balance between the clueless humans and the Supernaturals.

Do not kill humans.

Just as in the normal world it is also a crime to commit murder but killing is considered a super crime here…because the humans have no advantage, we are weak…very weaker than the Supernaturals like seriously we do not stand a chance because not only are they fast and strong but they also have brains…they are not cave animals they have civilizations, cities…I have seen one for myself and it shocked the hell out of me.

Anyways, we were put on the near impossible case which was our actual first big case, Eve and I were ecstatic…we found out that the werewolf did not intend to do anything with the boys body…he just killed him, either for fun or maybe he was sent to do so. We later discovered that the boy’s family had a few connections with a werewolf pack not too far from the woods where the boy was killed…then we reached a dead end, they knew the pack’s Alpha but that was all we could dig because the pack was so strict that we could not even get a bit in info on them so we had reached a brick wall which of course I’m sure the director was very happy about considering how he just took us off the case without warning.

“I think you need to keep reminding your uncle that you are over a hundred years old and you do not need to be so protected all the time” I said to Eve while running my fingers through my hair and letting out a defeated sigh.

“My uncle had nothing to do with this… “ Eve said, she glared at me just like she always did whenever I reminded her that she was being pampered even when she did not want it.

“Is that so?” seeing as she did nit reply, I shrugged and then stood up from the couch.

“Well, sitting here wont get us another mission now would it?” Eve sighs before grumpily following behind me as we made our way to the headquarters. I glanced at the watch on my, it was almost eight pm which meant that my hours at the S.S.C.P was almost over.

“Is it almost time for you to go?” Eve glanced at my watch as well, looking almost sad. I smiled.

“Fortunately yes, I can’t wait to leave this pit, I am so done for today” I replied. She nods.

“Maybe I can come with you today? We could have a sleepover or something”

I sigh, this was like the thousandth time she was making this offer and I always had to refuse. Nobody knew anything about my life outside of this organization except for maybe Timothy who had hired me and then maybe the higher ups who had access to the agents database and I have chosen to keep it that way. Most of the other agents all day that I hate being around people or that I am homeless is why I have never really shown anyone my home or told them anything about my life and all I do whenever they say those words to me is nod.

Whatever you say, as always reply.

Eve is kind of lonely in the organization as well, everyone is afraid of offending the director’s niece so they all keep their distance and only stick with ass kissing but I guess I am the only exception… which is why she wants to know more about me, she wants to be ‘friends’

“Not today though but...” because of how lonely I have been, I have gotten used to the idea that no one will ever be by my side. In a way, Eve and I are kind of alike because people only want to get close to us for our status. Right now, Eve doesn’t know who I am or how much I am worth and deep down I am afraid that once she finds outs, she would treat me the way everyone outside these walls do.

Maybe it was time to give her a chance though “... tomorrow we can both have ice cream at my place and do all those girly s**t you like” I mean the girl has been trying for an entire year and seeing the disappointed look on her face all the time always gets me.

She’s still a b***h though.

“Really?” her brows raised with excitement and for a split second she looked like she was actually the age that her appearance portrayed...a young woman in her early twenties...

Most of the time she has this I-have-seen-more-life-than-you-have expression on her face.

“That is if you’re up for it” I tell her and she nods excitedly.

“Of course I am!”
