There was a loud rapid pounding on my door that stirred me out of my sleep. I groaned and rolled over to look at the clock. 2:43 AM. Who the hell was knocking on my door at this time?
I flung my blankets off of me and swung my legs to the edge and stood up. I made my way out of the bedroom and headed towards the door when the knocking returned, louder and harder.
"Alright. Alright." I grumbled. I swung the door open and was met by three people in suits. The woman of the group stepped forward and the lily on her cheek flashed in the little light. Alchemists. I took a step back.
"What do you want with me?" My voice was cold. Sydney had been taken almost a year ago and we still had no hope in getting her out. These days I felt like giving up.
"We don't want nothing with you. Just take the demon child." With her words one of the men stepped forward and out stretched his hand. He was holding on of those baby caring things and looked disgusted to be doing so.
"Demon child?" I asked.
"The Sage girl is being taken care of for letting her self be tainted so badly by you damned evil creatures." She made a gesture on her left shoulder but I didn't focus on it.
"Sydney? What are you talking about?" I involuntarily came closer to them and they flinched.
"Sydney Sage is being put down." The woman wore a sad look as if a child had to flush their goldfish down the toilet. Not killing someone.
"Put down? She's not a dog? What the hell is wrong with you people?! Don't you dare hurt her!"
The woman was unfazed by my outbursts, "No. is not a dog. Dogs are loyal and trustworthy. She has corrupted her soul beyond saving. The only thing left to do is put and end to any further corruption."
I stared at her for a long moment. "What did she do that was so horrible, besides loving me?"
She scoffed. "Love. Ha. Your love wasn't real. However. She had that." She pointed to the baby carrier again. "And we don't care what you do with it. But since it is fairly innocent in all this we thought to turn it over to you."
My mouth dropped open. Sydney had..a baby? My baby? How..what..
"We'll be taking our leave now, Mr. Ivashkov. Franco. Leave it."
The man that was supposedly Franco stepped forward and leaned to set the carrier down. I grabbed it from his hand and he flinched away. He dashed back to the woman's side.
"Don't worry. She'll know you have it before we set her soul free." With that she shut my door and I heard them walk away. I stared at the door for a long moment till I noticed the tears burning in my eyes. I looked down into the carrier and finally looked at the babies face. I almost fell to my knees. The baby was fast asleep. It had to be a few months old. Clearly a girl, but what killed me the most was she looked exactly like Sydney.
~~I know it's pretty short, especially compared to my other stuff if you've read any of it, but...to be continued. See how Adrian deals with all this~~Koneko-chan
