Annime: I know- I KNOW! I shouldn't be posting any new stories up, but if I don't post this soon someone else might and I won't get credit for such an interesting plot line! So, review this and help me to finish my other stories so I can continue this one.

C-14

1550 AD; Venice, Italy:

"Perlita!" an ebony head boy yelled through the streets of Venice. His friend, Perlita, was good at hiding, but this was just ridiculous! "Perlita!" the boy yelled again.

The boy was 14 years old. He was an odd sight in the Italian world for his light skin and deep blue eyes. Though, there is something even stranger about him than that. It was a secret- a DEEP secret- and he only confided it to one friend. Sadly, she was nowhere to be found…

The blue eyed teen looked around him. Art was everywhere because the art festival was about to begin. The teen was excited because soon all his years as an artist's apprentice would soon pay off. His work was going to be showcased in the festival for the first time.

He wanted his friend to be there, but if she didn't stop playing her childish games she was going to miss his dream come true-

Suddenly his eye caught something. He looked up to see his friend, Perlita, had climbed onto one of the statues that were behind a building nearby for safe keeping. He chuckled at his friend's hiding spot and went jogging towards her.

"Should we capture him now?" a man asked his colleague as he jumped with excitement.

Two men were hiding amongst the crowd waiting for an opportunity to capture the ebony head boy.

"No, not yet," the other answered. Kidnapping wasn't his idea of 'good' but he had no choice. He was trapped in this horrible, horrible game.

The blue eyed teen grabbed ahold of a ladder close to the statue his friend was sitting on top of.

"Hey!" Perlita called. "I'm stuck up here! Can you come up and get me?"

"You shouldn't have climbed up here to begin with," the boy said as he began to climb the ladder.

"I know, I'm sorry, Chiro."

"It's ok," Chiro laughed.

Then, a shout rang through the air. Chiro look down to see a man climbing the ladder behind him. Not knowing what to do, the ebony head continued up the ladder. His plan was to climb onto the statue and kick the ladder to the ground, but the man climbing up behind him was faster.

The man grabbed Chiro and held a dagger to his throat as he balanced the two onto the ladder.

"Chiro!" the teen girl yelled. "No!"

"So, you are the famous artist of royalty?" the man spoke in a hushed tone. "You must have some money on you, so HAND IT OVER!"

"I don't have any," Chiro grunted with honesty. The man though, didn't believe him.

"I said hand it over!"

"I don't have any!"

The thief grew angry as he stabbed Chiro in the stomach.

"Chiro!" cried Perlita. The thief laughed, but as he did the ladder lurched backwards. This sent the thief and the bleeding teen plummeting to the ground from 15 feet in the air.

"Now should we grab him?" the first scientist demanded as he ran forward without an answer. The second scientist followed quickly behind him. They pushed past everyone in the crowd. No one seemed to even notice what was happening as the two scientists grabbed on to Chiro.

Chiro was losing too much blood. He felt dizzy as he lay on the cold ground. His already pale skin was becoming white. He heard footsteps leading away from him and knew that the thief was getting away.

"Stay with us," the second scientist spoke to the boy. "We are going to help you."

"Get Chiro some help!" Perlita yelled down to the two men. The first scientist smirked.

"At least we know his name," the evil (first) scientist said as he pulled out a small device from his pocket. "Now, we should get going."

The second and good scientist sighed. "Yes, before we lose him."

With a flash, the two scientists disappeared with their new test subject, leaving Perlita yelling out Chiro's name and gaining everyone's attention…
