Welcome To The Nightmare by S.K Nuanes (classic books for 10 year olds TXT) 📕

me so---.” I said, still waking up.
“Annabeth is missing.” Robert said, quickly.
Those words woke me up; I sat up slowly from the sofa, where I had crashed.
“What the hell do you mean she is missing?” I said, thinking he was playing a prank.
Was it April Fools? Was it Piss Brent Off Day?
“We were at the club, and we were going to leave at two, but she wasn’t in the club. I couldn’t find her scent.” Robert said, panicking.
“Her phone?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. Most of the time Annabeth had her cell phone charged or with her.
“Went to answering machine.” Robert said, exhaling.
“You cant even pick her scent up, shouldn’t you be able to find something?” I said, annoyed.
Robert then said, “No, there is nothing I can find. Nothing new.”
“I will track her down.” I said, hanging up.
Then there was Arthena sitting on the check-in desk.
“Hello there.” Arthena said, smiling.
I looked at her, and then said, “What brings you here.”
“I think I can speak for everyone. The 1920’s were one of the best eras ever.” Arthena said, smiling.
“Their happiness was short lived.” I said, walking over to Arthena.
Arthena smiled and had a laugh, “Wouldn’t you say. All happiness eventually fades away.”
“Yeah, it doesn’t last forever. Most of the time the purest of hearts suffer the most.”
“Just goes to show, only the toughest will survive.” Arthena said, yawning.
“What are you doing here?” I asked, looking at her.
Arthena jumped off the counter then said, “Trying to kill you, but why is there a human up there? Late night snack maybe?”
“None of your business.” I said, low.
Arthena had a slight laugh, “Oh right, not a meal. But more of a toy.”
I bared my canines watching her walk around the lobby. She looked at a vase, and smacked it sending it flying at me. I ducked and let it hit the wall behind me I looked at her, “You know that was priceless.”
“So you have fast relaxes you could of saved it.” Arthena said, looking at a large painting.
“Are you trying to make a connection?” I said, low.
Arthena shrugged then said, “Maybe, humans are fragile, yet their worthless just like the dirt you bathe in.”
“Why thank you, at least I don’t smell like a strip club.” I said, rolling my eyes.
“When was the last time you had sex? Prince like you should be having it every night. Such a misfit.” Arthena said, disappointed.
I rolled my eyes then said, "How many abortions have you had?"
"Cute." Arthena said, narrowing her eyes.
Then she looked up the stair well, “So tell me why you are keeping a human toy around. I suppose it is natural for a bachelor like yourself to keep a sex toy with you.So in case one girl isn’t working out, you can jump to another ones bed.”
“I am sure you have about five men in a bed at once.” I said, making my way over to the stair well.
Arthena was looking up although she didn’t seem like the type who would rush up, there and kill Nina.
“Always trying to love a human, is such a shameful flaw for a demon like yourself.” Arthena said, chuckling.
“Even a demon has flaws, even in death there is no perfection.” I said, low.
Then Draven walked in and said, “Why isn’t it the spoiled brat.”
“Why isn’t it the jealous boyfriend.” I said, slowly walking in a circle, Draven did the same. Was similar to two lions planning out their attack before a fight,
“Don’t even believe you are a demon, I believe you are nothing but a fake.” Draven chuckled.
“I wish, but all wishes are just desires we know that will never come true.” I said, low.
Arthena was watching the show knowing her boyfriend could take care of business.
Draven lunged at me; I ducked then slammed Draven into a wall.
He got back up then tried again, although this time my feet like stone and I couldn’t move, Draven took me down and pinned my shoulders down, his knee was in my gut, he was attempting to break something. Anything.
Draven’s hand started to glow blue, he smirked then said, “Thanks Arthena.”
It is never fun, fighting against a couple.
His hand made contact with my face; he repeated this over and over.
Once my face was facing right, he punched it to the left, and so on.
“Finish him, I am getting tired.” Arthena said, annoyed.
Draven pulled out an Ortiz stake, and stood up and then thrust the stake into my stomach and twisted it violently; my stomach became filled with blood. I turned my head and saw a sofa, I gripped onto the atoms of it, and gripped them tight, then pulled it towards us, Draven went flying into a wall, I kicked the sofa, so it would follow Draven, once it hit him he let out a growl of anger.
I ripped the stake out, and looked up at Draven.
My stomach slowly healed up after I removed the stake.
He pushed himself off the wall, towards me I grabbed him by the shirt then threw him at Arthena; she stopped him then healed his wounds.
His fangs came out, and his eyes turned blood red, he chuckled low and then was slammed against the wall hard.
Arthena was making this really hard; Draven rushed over, and started to choke me.
The dagger wasn’t in my boot, crap.
“Giving up so easily Brent?” Draven snarled.
Then a loud sound of glass shattered, Draven turned to the stairwell where it came from.
Nina was standing there she looked in shock, Arthena was gone in a thick fog, Draven stayed, then he inhaled her scent.
“Nina run!” I snapped.
Draven banged my head against the wall, trying to silence me.
“Let him go.” Nina said, holding up the dagger.
Draven stood up then said, “I won’t waste my time, this is too easy.”
Then both Arthena and Draven was gone in a few seconds, I stood up Nina stared at me.
She wanted answers, I couldn’t take memories away, I could tell her to forget this happened. But the memory would eventually rise to the surface.
“What’s going on?” Nina asked, staring at me.
I walked over to her, what was I going to do?
“Can we talk about this another time?” I said, looking at the exit.
Nina didn’t move or anything, she was going to get answers one way or another.
“Tell me, what just happened.” Nina said, crossing her arms.
I looked down at her then said, “What makes you think something happened?”
“I saw a guy trying to kill you. What is going on?” Nina said, confused.
She reminded me of Katherine, as we stood there in silence, her scent spoke the same message and feeling that Katherine’s soul did.
Was she related to Katherine, or was she a reincarnation of her?
Does she already know, can she tell I am a demon?
“You know, how guys are. Violence is always the answer.” I said, trying to think of a fake story to tell her.
“Didn’t your parents teach you violence is never the answer?” Nina asked, with a laugh.
“Can we talk about this another time, I really need to get going.” I said, thinking where Annabeth might be.
“When?” Nina said, sighing.
I pulled out my phone then said, “I’ll call you, and we can meet for coffee or something.”
She gave me her number I made my way to the door then left her there.


“So where could she be?” I asked, taking a sip of Vodka.
Robert walked over to me then said, “I don’t know. Unsure of who would want to kidnap her.”
“She is most likely being used as bait.” Robert said, tossing some pills into his mouth.
“To lure me into their trap.” I said, finishing his sentence.
Robert sighed and then chuckled, “Never a dull moment in our lives.”
“Yeah, um someone might figured out what I am.” I said, looking outside.
“What do you mean?” Robert asked, confused.
I exhaled then said, “Draven and Arthena were trying to kill me. A girl saw probably the whole thing.”
“Can’t you erase her memories or something?”
I shook my head then said, “I control one actions and thoughts, I can’t erase a memory.”
“Can you tell her to forget about that?” Robert said, sitting across from me.
“I can, but I am not strong enough to keep that memory away forever. One day she will remember, and it may appear worse to her.” I said, rubbing my temple.
“Right, well if they are really after you. They wont hurt her. She is just a pawn to them. Not worth hurting.” Robert said, trying to talk himself into a stable state.
“You know its ok to be worried about your sister.” I said, yawning.
Robert didn’t say anything, I stood up then said, “I am sure Miss. Curious is wanting to know what happened.”
"Might as well, tell her. So she isn't clueless and doesn't try and find out for herself." I said, hating the idea of telling Nina.
Someone I just met, the dark truth or myself.
“Don’t freak her out.” Robert chuckled.
I got up and left the house and dialed Nina’s number, “Hey Nina, its Brent let’s meet at that coffee shop on Saint Unser.”
What the hell was I doing?


The coffee shop had a jazz band playing, the lighting was dim, it was a underground shop. There were college students studying and hanging out.
I took a table in the back, where no one would pay attention. It was a high table, with bar stools as chairs.
Nina had on a black Alana, with an A on it. She had a white Kendell dress I think it was, a black bow tied in front. She didn’t have any make-up on; she had on flip-flops and came over to me.
“Hey.” Nina said, sighing.
I looked at her, she was staring at me, I knew this was going to happen.
“Why not sit down, right now it’s just awkward.” I said, looking at her then the chair across from me.
Nina sat down across from me and was silent looking at me waiting, for me to say something.
“Listen, before I start…I am sorry this happened.” I said, then looking at a waitress who was eying us.
I looked back at Nina then she said, “Can you answer a few questions?”
“Yes, but what do you I think I am…” I said, trying to figure out how to word everything.
Haven’t really talked to anyone, about my problem.
“I don’t know what you are, all I know is you aren’t normal.” Nina said, whispering.
“No one is normal.” I said, sensing someone was spying on us.
Nina exhaled then said, “Tell me what I want to know.”
“I think you may know.” I said, holding the ring I was going to give Katherine.
It was in my pocket I was unsure if I should show it to her, or explain it to her.
Or would explaining everything be too much for her?
“I don’t know, tell me.” Nina said, getting annoyed.
I sighed then said in a whisper, “I…am not your average guy.”
“What do you mean?” Nina asked, confused.
I had a slight laugh then said, “I can’t tell you.”
“And why not.” Nina said, confused.
“You are innocent, people like that. You don’t need to get wrapped up in crap.” I said, shrugging.

She kept staring at me, wanting answers, I exhaled then said, "Listen Nina, you don't know what you could get yourself into."
"I'm sure I can handle it, I have been through
