Soul Hunters

A/N: Hello! Thanks for reading, the smut will come later in the story! This is my first time posting to this site so I'm still learning the ropes XD... I'll do my best to improve and... yeah... so... onto the chapter!

"Will she be alright, Doctor?"

"Well it’s a miracle that she’s even hanging on now. In all honesty she should’ve died on scene. She had major internal hemorrhaging and most of her organs are shot. I have no idea how this woman is still alive. It’ll be touch and go for the next few days, if not weeks."

"It’s a miracle. That’s the only way." Sigrid opened her eyes; the nurse and doctor were speaking next to her. She watched them without much thought, except maybe gloating.

"Hmm… You do have a strong will to live don’t you?" She looked away from the doctor at the sound of a very amused tone. Her eyes widened just so as they took in the man lying on the bed next to her. He was probably as pale as her, but had noticeable freckles that gave him a cute look, the swirling pattern of a tattoo peaked out above the collar of his black button down shirt. Honestly, he was adorable and sexy, an odd mix. When he stood and walked towards her she saw his hair reached just past his hips; it was an incredibly light blond, almost white. He raised his hand over her, "C’mon cutie, time to say goodbye to this life."

"Like Hell," Sigrid reached up and took hold of his wrist. "I’m not dying." He grinned faintly and let her pull herself up.

"Well, here I was hoping you’d be drugged up enough to go quietly into that goodnight." His incredibly light blue eyes twinkled with some demented amusement he had at her expense. She wanted to gouge them out; she was not in a good mood.

"Fuck you," She sighed heavily and shook her head, the man was right though. Whatever drugs were running through her body were affecting her still.

"Ooo… I’d love you to; I’ve always enjoyed a nice meaty woman." She raised her eyebrow.

"I’d watch my mouth if I were you, I’m in no mood to play." He pouted at her, he actually pouted! She felt herself blush faintly because the guy looked sad. "What?" She snapped at him.

"Nothing," He grinned, "I just wanted to see if you’d get all flustered. I have no idea why you couldn’t be brought in yesterday. You’re just a girl anyway." He wound his very strong arm around her waist and pulled her up against him. She was suddenly aware of his hand being on her naked hip and her body being pressed to muscles guys at the gym would be jealous of.

"…Sexist bastard…" She muttered darkly before reaching up to his face. A grin was ever present on his lips and he looked at her clearly like a piece of meat.

"Awe, you know you send mixed messages cutie. Clearly you don’t mean what you say with the way your body enjoys being pressed against me." She returned his grin, shifting her hips against his.

"Maybe… Then again," She grabbed his ears, "I’m really not in the mood." Aaand, she twisted. He yelped loudly and fell to his knees, "There’s a good boy." She dug her nails into his ears.

"Ow! Let go bitch!"

"What was that? Twist harder?" She grinned gleefully as she tortured the guy.

"Fuck!" He couldn’t believe it; he was actually losing to this girl.

"Now, if you don’t want me to rip your ears off, leave. I don’t want to see you come back here in search of my soul, alright?"

"……." He grit his teeth, refusing to give in to her. If he did he’d lose, and he did not want to go back having lost; especially after saying that a girl would be no trouble for him.

"Alright, or you’ll lose your ears." She teased in a singsong voice, digging her nails even more as she twisted the already raw ears.

"Alright! Alright! Let go!" He cried out in alarm, "I’ll leave!"

"Good boy," Sigrid rubbed his head softly; she took the opportunity to run her fingers through the long almost white locks. "You’ve got gorgeous hair; it’s too bad you’re such an ass." He gave her a half hearted grin, his eyes teary and his ears bright red.

"Yeah well, shit happens. I’ll give you a bit of advice, stay close to your body its best if you touch it in some way or the weakened bonds you have will break and the ones who come after me will take you away with no trouble." She looked surprised at him.

"Hey, thanks for that." She lifted herself back onto the bed. "Why would you be so nice to me?" He stood up slowly, wincing as he rubbed his ears. Sigrid was faintly amused that such an imposing man could turn into a harmless child just by some ear twisting.

"Because I really don’t want you to lose to the others that would just ruin my day…" She nodded faintly as her eyes closed tiredly, before sitting up in alarm.

"Wait, exactly how many others are you talking about?" She looked around, but he was gone, "Well shit…"@
