Prompt: 372 Driving in the night
Rating: Gen
There were times when demon hunting was a nice and adventurous day-time job.
It wasn't one of those times.
Serena had been about to go to bed and enjoy her third complete night in a row when she had got the call. Half an hour later, she was in her car, fully dress, her emergency supernatural bag on the back seat. Hayden hadn't been able to tell her what they were going to face that night. The thing apparently liked hiding in the shadows, and this moonless night was like a palace to it.
Awesome. She just loved not knowing the danger.
The road she had taken was as dark as the job. Municipal lightning had been juged too expensive, or simply irrelevant in this part of Ohio. Another thing she loved, the remote parts of American country.
Sometimes, this job sucked.
The woman checked her phone, firmly enclosed in its hands-free unit. No new message from Hayden. Either he didn't have found anything new about the supernatural creature they were to stop tonight, or he had already been eaten by it. Maybe both.
She surely hoped the man was still alive and in a relatively good shape. He was sometimes annoying as well, with his hot-temper and old-south way of seeing the world, but he was also an alpha werewolf, probably the most powerful ally she had ever found. Loosing him would be very inconvenient. And scary, since it would take quite the monster to vanquish the mighty shapeshifter.
And she would missed him, too. Not that she planned to tell him any time soon.
She had been driving for twenty minutes, and reflecting about taking the time to pull over and text Hayden, when she saw it from the corner of her eye. Her brain had just time to register the abnormality and make her stop her car suddenly in the middle of the road. Fortunately it was late enough for the place to be totaly empty. Once unmoving, Serena turned her head on the side of the phenomenon, trying to see what had trigger her internal alerts. A life spent among the hidden supernatural forces of our world had sharpened her senses to react at the first strange thing that crossed her path. It had saved her life on multiple occasions, or at least avoided her annoying injuries.
She had definitely seen something, a bright light like some flying fire, but it was gone now. She stayed there for several minutes, hoping it would come back, the unknown creature and her furry associate momentally forgotten. But nothing came crossing the night sky at her car window.
Her phone tore her from the contemplation, and she saw Hayden's name appearing on the small screen. She picked it up, still glancing outside from time to time.
"Where are you ?", growled the manly voice on the other end, lightly altered by a semi-shift. "You're gonna miss all the fun."
"On my way", Serena asked distractly.
"Everything okay ?" Hayden sounded a bit alarmed.
"Yeah, yeah. I just think I saw something", she replied, started the car again.
"Like ... ?"
"I don't know ... Have you managed to get a glimpse at what we are hunting tonight ?"
The only answer she got was a annoyed growl from a pissed werewolf.
