I own nothing from Trinity Blood.

"Let me go!" The girl cried. "It's too hot and these chains are hurting me, let me out!"

The small girl struggled against the hot chains, making her scarred and burned wrists bleed even more. Everywhere the girl looked, it was molten red from the volcanic cavern she was in. It was over a hundred degrees and all the walkways that traveled through the cavern and over volcano rivers was metal grating.

Her pale skin was practically invisible since she was covered in the volcanic dust and her skin looked black as her golden blond hair hung limp around her waist. Her pale blue-grey eyes were slightly red from the heat irritation and crying so much. She wore a floor length dirtied white long sleeved dress that was light weight and her feet were blistered and bare. Her left leg was lame and completely useless even though it didn't look like it. The nerves were dead and no one could explain why, not in the 13 years she grew with it being this way.

"I see the medicine has worn off," a man appeared on the grated walkway in a black suit. "You going to give us the answers we need?"

"I will not tell you anything," the girl cried.

"It would be easier if you cooperated with us Kaiya and told us where your brother was. Instead of hurting you, we could let you go. How much longer do you think you'll survive with that lame leg of yours?"

"I don't care, I won't tell you. I promised him I never would say a word, even if he was dead," Kaiya growled as her leg gave out and she slid to the ground, her hands chained abover her to the railing of the walkway as she sat on a small patch of dirt.

"It's pointless sir," a man came out in a white lab coat with the name Stilinski on the left chest pocket. "We have had her here for seven years and she hasn't breathed a word about the warrior's location. We have even tried using the machines and haven't gotten anything. Either she is really loyal or she doesn't know and is pretending that she does. I think it would be the later because no child would be able to hold out this long on just one piece of information."

"So what do you plan to do with her if she is completely useless?" The suited man spoke coldly.

"Let her go and wipe her memory of this place. She is only a child, we won't kill her. Our prototype agent is fully operational so Lohengrin has ordered Agent DI to take her away from here and wipe her memories," the scientist spoke as a robot walked towards them, it's metal the color of molten lava. "Agent DI, unchain the girl and take her to the entrance gate of Rome and have her memories wiped."

"Command confirmed, take child and wipe memories before leaving her in reach of the Vatican," the robot spoke, its voice box programed to be male. The robot walked over to the surprised girl and unchained her, then he picked her up gently in his arms. "Child should sleep while traveling."

"Don't dawdle Agent DI, return to headquarters immediately after your mission is complete."

"Yes sir," the robot spoke before walking towards the entrance, carrying Kaiya who didn't even try to fight to escape.

"Father Nightroad!" The familiar red haired agent of the Vatican called to him as he sat at a café drinking his tea.

"Esther, how are you?" Abel smiled as she reached him. He pushed his glasses back into place and looked at her as she stood there slightly out of breath.

"Lady Caterina needs you to head to the south gate of the city immediately," Esther Blanchett spoke breathless. "The sword dancer, Hugue Watteau, is already on his way. Kate informed us that she is getting readings on her monitors at that gate that are unknown. No one on the Iron Maiden understands what it is."

"I see," Abel spoke quietly and got to his feet. "Thank you Esther, you may return to the Vatican."

"I'll see you later," Esther smiled before walking away.

"Another peaceful afternoon spoiled," Abel sighed as he put a few coins on the table and got to his feet. He shifted his cloak and headed south towards the gates. "Wonder what it is that set off the Iron Maiden's radar..."

"Father Nightroad..." The familiar blond swordsman appeared when Abel was near the gate, his sword in his left hand.

"Hello Hugue," Abel smiled. "How are you doing this fine day?"

"Are you sure you should be focused on the day when there could be a possible breach?" Hugue rose a brow as they hurried their pace. "After all, none recognized what the radar detected..."

"Iron Maiden calling Father Nightroad, do you copy?" Kate spoke over the intercom in Abel's ear.

"Hello Kate, I copy," Abel spoke hurriedly. "What is it?"

"The foreign reading is leaving the area..."

"And?" Abel frowned and stopped walking. Hugue stopped too and looked confused.

"Where the foreign thing stopped, there is readings of a human child. It is very weak."

"We are on our way," Abel spoke before running towards the entrance again with a confused swordsman behind him.

"What is it?" Hugue demanded.

"Whatever the thing that set off the radars is leaving but in its place is weak readings of a human child," Abel explained quickly.

"I see," Hugue spoke before falling silent as they ran. They reached the gate and saw several people gathered at the entrance, staring outside the gate talking quietly. "These humans are easily made curious. It's rather irritating at times."

Abel and Hugue pushed past them and saw the form of a child in a white cloth collapsed outside the gate. The child's face was hidden by a mane of golden hair and her dress was covered in soot and dirt. They ran forward and Abel pulled her shoulders into his lap as he knelt down next to her and pulled her hair out of her face. The only sounds heard besides the small conversation of the people behind them was the sounds of the girl's heavy breathing and a gasp from Hugue.

"Hugue, are you alright?" Abel looked up at his partner and saw confusion and astonishment on his face. "Hugue...?"

"She reminds me of someone I lost long ago," Hugue spoke quietly, sadness in his voice as he looked at the girl. "We need to get her back to the Vatican, she needs attention. Her feet and legs are severely burned as well as her wrists."

"Yeah," Abel spoke, surprised he didn't notice her injuries and pulls her into his arms as he got to his feet. "Let's go."
