Orcs and Demons
I saw bright for the first time 2 days ago and now I’m obsessed with Jakoby <3
9:00pm
The typing on my computer became more and more irritating, my leg bounced impatiently as my report felt like it was becoming longer and longer even though it was just an assault case at a gas station, some guy coked up on fairy dust, thankfully only left scratches, being an EMT is stressful enough.
Busting through my office, one of my EMT’s abruptly commands “We gotta go now! Domestic attack” I dropped my pen and laced up my belt swiftly. As the ambulance was packed me hoped in and sped off, “hey, you got a hair tie?” I asked slightly turning my head from the wheel.
“Yeah, here” she handed me the tie “What happened at the scene?” I hope it’s nothing serious, I don’t know If I could handle it right now, with my bills starting to pile up, finishing school and needing to get rid of the stack of paper work on my desk, It feels like the bones at the arch of my back are melting.
“Schizophrenic elf forgot to take his pills and lashed out on his fiancé, the responder said she’s hiding in a closet somewhere in the house, they also said she has some cuts, deep bruising and swelling to the face and head, maybe concussing injuries” she explained.
Quickly making a right turn and reaching for my intercom “Are the cops at the crime scene yet?” there was scratchy response “No, you should meet there at the same time” I uttered a thank you and pointed to the back of the ambulance “Get the bag ready for head trauma”.
When we arrived, a cop car pulled up quickly and two tall men stepped out, a tall black man and a slightly shorter Orc, wait... Orc? How the fuck did they let an Orc into the police force!? Shut up and focus! There’s a hurt woman inside, just let the police escort us inside to help so we can all go home.
I jump out the back with the small medical bag, “You!” I pointed to the black man, quickly catching his attention “You come with me to the front, Orc you take back” they stopped in their tracks with a questioning look ‘Your telling us what to do?” the human guy asked. I was already half way up the walk way,
“do you two want to sit here crying with your thumbs up your asses all night or do you want to save this girl?” The human looks at the Orc and he just shrugs and runs to the back, pistol and flashlight drawn.
I quickly read the officer’s name tag, Ward, I followed behind him to the door. His fist pounded the door in urgency, even though it was a loud knock, it was pitch black and dead silent on the inside.
“Maybe it was a false call?” Ward says, “Or maybe he’s keeping her quiet? Or maybe he already got her and he’s gone? Or-” “alright alright- I get it” He quickly draws his gun, and tried the knob. Nothing. “Step back sweetheart” I snarled my teeth at his pet name and my stomach soured.
He speaks into his intercom “Hey Jakoby, no one’s answering the door, I’m persisting” “10-4, coming through back”, he kicks the door in, small pieces of wood falling as the door flies open. He looks back at me “Stay in arms reach” I quickly nod and we enter the dark house.
As we walk I flip the light switches on....
