>"Turn the head a bit to the right, it would look better."
>"Like this?"
Snap!
>"Yep. Ok I got it."
>Honestly, I never thought I'd be happy for company layoffs.
>I had to find a job real quick, we can't afford the rent with only Olivia's job at the gala.
>But this definitely wasn't what I was expecting when I was hired to become a church photographer.
>I thought I would only be taking pictures of weddings and other events taking place.
>Then again, it was already weird from the start, why does a church require a photographer?
>The pay was pretty damn good so I didn't question it.
>"You ready to move?"
>"Ja."
>The job is simple really.
>We get called to a place and I snap some shots for documentation while my partner deals with the paranormal stuff.
>"I see another one, there!"
>I also act as an assistant when my partner has to get violent.
BANG!
>"SKRREEEEEEEEE!"
>"Nope that didn't do it."
>She's is pretty cool, apparently exterminating demons is a family tradition for her.
>"Want to try, Herr Nito?"
>"Sure."
>She hands me the double-barreled shotgun, I feel our fingers make contact while grabbing it.
>"Ah! E-entschuldigung..."
>I sometimes don't understand what she says.
>We approach the spawn of hell trying to get away from us.
>"You want me to aim for the heart or the head?"
>"They don't have hearts, dussel."
>I plant the end of the barrel to the demon's head and pull the trigger.
BANG!
>I hope this washes off from my jacket.
>"Zerstört! Wunderbar, Herr Nito!"
>I hand her the gun back and grab my camera to take some pictures of my kill.
>After a throughout search, we confirm that we got them all and call the cleaning services the church works with.

>Grace is busy cleaning her gun while I'm looking through today's shots.
>This is not much different than crime scene photography.
>I get paid more though, because of the, well, hazards.
>Maybe I could take Olivia somewhere after I get my paycheck.
>...
>Would she even agree?
>Probably, but would she actually come along?
>Our relationship hasn't been the best for a while... Especially after what happened almost a month ago.
>She apologized but we didn't really talk more about it.
>What was she going to do, if there wasn't a vase?
>"Inco?"
>Grace is looking at me, her yellow eyes emit concern.
>"What's up?"
>"Are you ok?"
>When was the last time someone asked me that question?
>"Yeah, why?"
>No need to bother someone else with my troubles.
>"You were grimacing... Sorry I shouldn't have bothered you."
>"Oh it's alright. Actually..."
>...
>It still feels nice to know that someone cares.
>"Thank you."
>I should be more careful, work isn't a place you should bring your personnal issues to.
>"What for?"
>I give her a pained smile before looking away again.
>"For caring."
>From the corner of my eye, I see her reach for me, she hesitates a bit and decides to not do it.
>"Anyway, you should get changed."
>"You're one to talk. That blood does not look good on your scales."
>She closes her mouth to giggle, I'd be lying if I didn't find it cute.
>That's...
>Wrong of you.
>I miss Olivia's cute gremlin laugh... I rarely see her smile anymore.
>That aside, I really should change, she doesn't like it when I'm late.

>Throwing my old blue jacket and pants drenched in blood in a plastic bag, I change into something more casual.
>I definitely should buy something more strudy if I'm gonna continue with this line of job. I love this jacket, it reminds me off the good times.
>Yeah...
>God, what is with me today?
>I walk towards the gray Opel waiting for me, I'd take my own car but Grace said that her gas money is covered by the church already.
>She also keeps talking about how I should switch to a German car.
>I throw my stuff in the trunk and enter the vehicle.
>"Metro station as always?"
>"Ja."
>She giggles at my use of her native tongue.
>"Sie sind witzig, Sonnenbrille."
>"You know, I can drop you off at your place."
>"It's fine."
>She starts the car and there is a silence between us.
>Maybe I should start a conversation.
>"I'm starting to like German cars."
>"Endlich! German engineering is the best!"
>"What was the model again?"
>"Insignia. Country Tourer. I really like how spacious it is. I worked hard to buy it, Vater helped as well."
>It's a pretty huge car for someone rather small.
>"You know, I never asked, why do you drive such a big car?"
>"Oh... Erm... See, it was like an investment... for the future."
>"Investment?"
>She grips the steering wheel tighter, tensing up a bit.
>"Jawohl... Promise to not laugh?"
>"I promise."
>She takes a deep breath.
>"Ich habe immer daran gedacht, eine große Familie zu haben."
>"I don't know German, remember?"
>"Ich weiß."
>I roll my eyes while she chuckles to herself.
>After a ten minute ride, I say my goodbyes and exit the car. She drives away once I take out my stuff from the trunk.
>I'm left alone with my own thoughts once again as I walk towards the metro in silence.

>Entering the flat, I'm welcomed by my girlfriend.
>She has the same tired expression I see most of the time.
>Unkempt hair kept in check with a purple headband, her scales are no longer shiny and her eyes are noticeably dull.
>She started to come out of her studio when I get back at least.
>"How was work?"
>"Same shit different day." Olivia shrugs.
>"I see." I fail to keep my fake smile after that.
>"Yeah, some retard decided to buy-" she stops to close her eyes and takes a deep breath.
>"Sorry... How did your work go?"
>"Oh, it was Grace."
>"What? Grace?"
>"Great. It was great." Shit... What was that? "Why do you ask?"
>She raises an eyebrow at my question.
>"Because I care about you?"
>"Oh... Sorry I'm a bit tired."
>She eyes me a bit, I try my best to give her a reassuring smile.
>"Everything alright?"
>You know the answer.
>"Yeah... Work was tiresome."
>"Taking pictures?"
>"Yeah."
>I'll hide the fact that I'm a part of a two-man task force focusing on tracking otherwordly creatures and putting an end to their terror, for now.
>I'm having so much fun, and she wouldn't like the risk involved.
>She doesn't look convinced, but decides to let me go. After throwing my bloody clothes into the washing machine, I feel like I'm done with the day.
>Even though it's still early.
>Maybe I could spend some time with her?
>...

>I enter our bedroom and throw myself on the matress. I don't even bother with changing into something more comfortable.
>I feel...
>Melancholic.
>Bitter.
>Angst.
>Longing for something I can't even name.
>I'm not even sure what I'm thinking about anymore, I've been feeling like this for quite some time though.
>Ever since I changed workplace, I started enjoying being on the clock rather than relaxing at home.
>I close my eyes, I'll sleep through it like always.
>My eyes open again after I feel something shifting.
>It's darker... I guess I managed to sleep a little.
>I feel something pulling me closer... A snake-like limb twists around my leg.
>"Liv?"
>"Oh, didn't mean to wake you up, sorry."
>She stops moving around, I can't see her but I can imagine the cautious look on her face.
>"Inco..."
>"Yeah?"
>"You feeling like it?"
>"Hmm?"
>"The night is still young... Do you want to..."
>"I don't feel like it, sorry... Not today."
>"You keep saying that for weeks. What is your problem? Am I too ugly for you now?"
>Tides have turned, huh?
>"I'm just tired."
>I hear another deep breath from her, her arms and tail let me go. She turns around to face the other side, or so I think.
>"Whatever, good night I guess."
>Maybe I should've...
>...
>"Good night."
