Chapter 2: Up on Earth

 

Chase and Kel walked side by side down a long narrow corridor, the walls golden and outlined in black and a velvet red carpet lined the floors. Coming to two large double doors that touched the ceiling, which neither could see the end to, both brothers continued to walk as Chase flung the doors open with a flick of his hand. There, on the far end of the room, stood Craven. The room had no furniture in it, but instead it contained a giant portal in the middle that allowed them to peer into other worlds as they pleased. Both boys walked into the room to stand in front their brother.

“Chase, where have you been?” Craven demanded, his deep voice echoing through the room as he turned to face his brothers. He watched as slow smile spread across Chase's face, causing Kel to roll his eyes.

“I was…eating, that is until Mr. Buzz-Kill Bob over hear interrupted my meal time,” Chase replied nodding in Kel's direction.

“It better not have been one of father's servants again, I grow tired of finding replacements for the ones you constantly use as a snack,” Craven glared accusingly at his brother, who merely continued to grin without deny his brother's claims. Craven rolled his eyes, not in the mood to deal with Chase right now.

“If it was anyone else …” he thought before pushing the issue aside.

“So…what's with the family meeting”, Chase asked dryly.

“It would appear that the balance of each world in creation has remained strong and unaltered, except one, the earth realm. The balance on earth has been shifted”, Craven began, getting down to business. “Those tainted demons are running amuck, starting wars amongst each other and exposing themselves more and more to the humans. Also, more humans are being turned into demons, whether it be by force or choice. This cannot be allowed. These demons are forgetting their place,” Craven calmly explained, with a hint of bitterness evident in his tone.

“Why do you call them that? Demons,” Kel hissed with venom in his voice. “WE are demons, THEY are merely flawed abortions.”

“Geezz Kel, tell us what you really think,” Chase replied sarcastically. “And here I thought you were the peace loving one in the family,” he softly chuckled.

“Blow me,” Kel retorted.

“Maybe later big boy,” Chase countered.

“ENOUGH!” Craven said in a stern voice, once again gaining his brothers' attention. “We have bigger issues at hand. I am stationing both of you on earth to keep an eye on things. You will monitor the situation and I am counting on both of you to restore the balance to that realm. That being said, it would appear that the demons of this realm have a leader, a dog demon by the name of Kai”.

“Keh”, Chase scoffed. “What kind of puss-hole name is that? I'll make him my bitch in a day. One day, just gimme one day and the little panty will be begging to suck my cock,” Chase smugly replied with a wave of his hand. Kel couldn't help but laugh at his brother's claim. Craven merely shook his head.

“I don't really care who you choose to suck your dick at the end of the day. Just see to it that this problem is resolved, even if it means killing, altering the time line or bending them to your will with compulsion, just get it done,” Craven ordered.

“How do you want us to do this? Kel asked.

“There is a school that harbors both demons and humans alike. It would appear that these so called rulers go there, they travel in packs. You both will be attending this school. Meet them and learn what exactly it is they are doing to create this shift, shouldn't be hard for you two. Approach their leader after you have a grasp on the situation, if he is cooperative then it will be easier to fix our little problem, since his people will listen to him.”

“And if he's not,” Kel asked, a bored expression on his face.

“Then you can either kill him or compel him, but your compulsion must be specific in order for it to last an eternity without any errors. Plus, you'll most likely be forced to scope out the entire planet and compel everyone else to cooperate as well, which will take longer. This being said, you will not under any circumstances reveal what you really are, for this may further shift the balance,” he bluntly stated.

“Creatures with powers and abilities superior then that of the human race, and they're going to school with them? Are you fucking yanking my balls here?” Chase replied disbelievingly.

“Yes, it would appear that it is their way of blending in without exposing themselves to the human population,” Craven replied dryly.

“Aren't we in this mess because they ARE exposed and NOT blending in, because they are foolishly flaunting their powers to the humans, blending the two races and creating more flawed abortions once after the other, their blissfully ignorant behavior creating more harm than good within their own realm?” Kel replied bitterly.

“Are you on your period?” Chased mocked in a serious tone while smirking at his now growling little brother.

“I will kill you,” Kel said dryly without glancing to his side.

“Want a tampon?” Chase asked his grin widening.

Craven ran his hand down his face and released a sigh. “10 minutes with these two idiots and I'm already losing my fucking mind,” he thought becoming irritated.

“Look,” Craven interrupted before his brothers could continue their bickering, “Just handle the situation without making matters worse. Don't go starting any unnecessary wars that will give me grief. And Kel,” he said before turning to look at his youngest brother. “I know how you feel about these tainted demons, but try to control yourself. It's bad enough I'm being forced to send Chase, so I need you sharp.”

Kel's eyes became determined once again before replying, “Yes, Brother.”

“You know, I'm standing right here you fucking penises,” Chase snapped at his brothers.

“Very well,” Craven continued ignoring Chase's comment. “You both leave at once, you're dismissed.”

Both brothers then instantly vanished from the room, the air shifting around them, only to reappear in the earth realm near an open field.

“What now?” Kel asked his older brother.

“Now…we find ourselves a nice little house with a white picket fence and write our names on the mall box,” Chase cheerfully replied while smirking at Kel. “We gotta blend in remember, be all stealthy and go double 007 on their asses.”

Kel rolled his eyes before they teleported to a neighborhood near the high school they will soon be attending. They casually began to walk down the sidewalk, taking in their surroundings while searching for what they were looking for. Chase abruptly came to a stop and nudged his brother to get his attention. Kel turned his head in his brother's line of sight to see a fairly large house in the distance. The house had an interlocking driveway, with a small garden lining the brick walkway leading up to the stairs, which had a wide flat platform in front of the entrance. The grass was a healthy shade of green and the shutters and garage door were all painted black, which went perfectly with the dark red bricks that made up the house and a white picket fence to top it off. In the driveway was parked a beat up old Volvo that didn't look like it was going anywhere anytime soon, the place was inconspicuous and blended in well with the rest of the block, not too flashy yet not too old and creepy. It was perfect.

Both brothers nodded to each other before walking up the driveway.
