'Thoughts'
Chapter 13- The awakening
In a dank, dark room, three beings came falling out of the ceiling and onto the flooring. The first small one stood up, his eyes glowing silver for a second then dimming down and his eyes immediately adjusted to the darkness. The two beings behind him, stood up as well, but didn't move.
"I can't see a damn thing!" Seto muttered, waving his hands around; searching for a wall. Rwet laughed.
"I can see fine, but my eyes adjust fast to the darkness." He turned forward. "Follow my voice or grab onto me. I'll find the way out." He started walking forward, his steps echoing around the dank area they were in. Kisara ran up and grasped Rwet's shoulder and Seto came up back and tightly clutched the martial of the boy's shirt. As they walked, there seemed to be no change in the brightness or darkness of the room. Kisara and Seto still couldn't see that much, only small areas like water. They trudged through the place, for what seemed like hours. Neither of them had a watch and were waiting to get in a safer place to look at the palm pilot of Seto's so they couldn't check the time there. So, after so long, light finally was shown at the end of the tunnel. Each of the travelers gasped.
"Finally!" Kisara said, relived. Seto took his hand off of Rwet's shirt and whipped his forehead.
"Damn, that took way to long!" he exclaimed. Rwet ran forward toward the light.
"Common! Lets get out of here and find Shwt! He must be close!" Kisara and Seto exchanged worried glances, then ran after the young half. Finally reaching light, each one had to shield their eyes. Rwet's immediately adjusted as they did to the darkness to the light. He looked around the hallway.
"Ok Seto…turn your pilot on. Be should get going, and see how much time we have left!" Seto, confused for a second on Rwet's last few words, pulled out his palm pilot and turned it on.
"What do you mean by…" he stopped. "Oh…" eyes shadowing, he went to the map and looked at the clock. "28 hours left. Took us three hours to get from outside to in here. As for where to go…" he paused. "Rwet, you walk in front, and I'll steer you. I'll be behind you and tell you where to go. Kisara behind me. Also Rwet, you have to watch for traps, that's why you're in front ok?" Rwet nodded and turned forward.
"Right…left or right Seto?" he asked. Seto studied the map.
"Left…then a right at the next one, I'll tell you when we get there." Rwet walked briskly left, Kisara and Seto following right behind him. They walked down the hall and came to another hall. Rwet turned back to him.
"Here?" he asked. Seto nodded. The boy turned down the hall and immediately stopped. Kisara and Seto also stopped.
"What is it Rwet?" she asked. Rwet scanned the area.
"Take a step back…" he whispered. Kisara and Seto both took a step back. Rwet, as it a panther sneaking up on pray, placed one foot forward, and jumbled back immediately as mutable gun shot's were fired. Kisara covered her head with her hands as debris came flying their way, and Seto covered his eyes. Soon, the firing stopped, leaving only smoke left. Rwet smirked.
"Yup, I thought there was some sorta security here…" his eyes narrowed though. Seto and Kisara walked up behind him.
"What's wrong Rwet?" Kisara asked. Rwet opened his mouth to say something, then closed it and shook his head.
"It's nothing, nothing. Now, Seto!" he turned to the taller one. "Where to now?" he asked. Seto looked down at the map.
"Down this corridor and another right. Then we go down there for a ways. We have about a mile or so in corridors till we might get to the room Shwt is in…" he pointed to one room. "Elan found him there. I'll tell you once we come upon it." Rwet smiled and ran forward more.
"Common, we have to go faster you two!" he grinned, his canine teeth suddenly seeming sharper. Seto saw this change and faltered his running.
"Rwet…" he started. The boy stopped and turned. "What exactly…will happen in 28 hours?" Rwet looked to the ground.
"I…I really don't know…" he whispered. "I…I think…that…" he stopped and shook his head again, his hands clutching into fists. "I don't know!" Seto and Kisara walked up to him. Kisara wrapped her arms around the boy.
"Sorry Rwet, we know this is hard," she said soothingly. Rwet nodded slowly, tears of fear threatening to fall down his cheeks. Seto also patted Rwet's shoulder.
"You got to be strong Rwet," he said, eyes softening. "be strong for us, be strong for your dark." Rwet pulled away from Kisara and nodded, turning back toward the hallways, he ran forward.
After running, for what seemed an eternity. Dodging all the traps set up all around the area and trying to just get past everything. They finally…were near where Shwt was hidden. Though, no matter how close they got to the room he was supposedly 'kept' in, Rwet never sensed him. They were now only two hallways away. They color of these corridors were exact opposite of when they came in. At those beginning ones, they were pearly white, and now had taken on a dark, dank aura. You could see the piping on the ceiling and hear every drip. As they turned on the last turn, the ceiling suddenly bean to become more kept and not as dank. They slowed their pace and they came nearer and nearer. Rwet's pace suddenly slowed more as they got even closer. Seto looked back.
"Rwet?" he asked. They boy shook his head.
"Something's not right!" he yelled. "I can't sense him at all! If he should be right in there, I should be able to sense his presence!" Seto walked back to him.
"They might be blocking it Rwet. Common, lets open the door and go inside to see ok?" Rwet nodded slowly and walked to the door. Looking up at it, he shakily held up his hand and placed it on the cool steel of the door. Suddenly, large bursts of unknown emotions and pain rammed into his mind. Rwet doubled back, staring at the door, as it a foreign object. Then running back forward and ramming the door open. It sprung open, and hit the wall, making a large cracking sound. Rwet could sense it now. He could feel the power of his dark crawling over his skin. Entering the room slowly, he was finally able to look around…and gasp. It looked like a lab of some sort. Or some control room at least. Computers were everywhere, wires as well. The room was lit lightly in a greenish glow. Rwet, not yet eyeing the light source, looked over in the area of the computers to notice something…
They were all empty…
Rwet ran forward, looking around for any sign of life. Whipping around to looking behind himself, he stopped. His eyes widened, and his arms feel limply to his side. Kisara and Seto ran up to the computers and then looked up, and they gasped as well. The greenish tint that now tainted this room was coming from, what seemed to be a large experiment specimen. A young naked man drifted, in what seemed to be water in a large glass cylinder. Large, enormous leathery wings enveloped his sides and back. It was nearly as long as his fetal positioned body, or longer. Long slender arms were wrapped around a bonny body and thin, petite legs. His skin was slightly tanish, but seemed washed pale from the strange liquid. Under his eyes, were lines that looked to be like whiskers of a cat; but they also looked to be scarish. Other scars lined his body, from a couple on his face and arms, to all on his legs. His ear's seemed to be pointed like a demons would. And his blonde bangs drifted along his face, as bits of crimson and coal black strands brushed up against his shoulder and neck. As well, his eyes were not open, but seemed to be in a deep slumber, almost dead looking but not quite. A mask like contraption was over his mouth and nose to keep him breathing. Also, chains were wrapped around his body as well. A large, medal cuff was clamped his thinned neck, and chained cuffs were also attached to his ankles and wrists. Some different IVs were stuck through his arms, as were many other wires and tubes. Rwet stared on, recognizing the face of his dark.
"SHWT!" he screamed, tears already running down his cheeks, as he ran forward to bang on the glass.
-Shwt Shwt! Please! Answer me please! SHWT- Rwet screamed through the link. He felt no response, and his dark made no notion that he was spoken to. His eyes still closed, breathing regular and not twitching at all at the screaming in his head. Rwet's eyes became frantic as he banged on the glass again.
"Shwt why can't you hear me!" he screamed. "Wake up WAKE UP!" he screamed again, his voice already going horse. Seto and Kisara came running up behind him.
"…Rwet…" Kisara started softly. "H-he won't be able to hear you…" Rwet whipped around to face her.
"W-w-why not…?" he asked. Kisara walked up to the lone dark.
"He must have been drugged…as I thought, but I never knew they would go to such extents…" she whispered. Rwet's body shook slightly from his tears. Total ignoring her comment, he whipped around and began banging on the glass one again, screaming out his others name. Kisara also felt her heart clench as she watched Rwet, with his desperate pleas to have his dark awoken. Kisara leaned on Seto, as the other wrapped his arms around her.
"I feel so sorry for him…" she whispered, as they looked on at the lost lover. Seto nodded.
"I wish this was different…to meat them happily…not like this," he said slowly. Kisara nodded. They were in silence, the only noise the banging of Rwet's fists on glass. Kisara looked up at Seto.
"Seto…his appearance…how in the world did he get wings…?" Seto looked down at her.
"I don't know…it must be another trait of them that me might have not seen before," he whispered in answer. Kisara nodded, then suddenly, guns shots were heard from outside the room. Rwet immediately stopped, whipping around to face the door, eyes red from the tears that now slide down his face. Kisara drew away from Seto, and turned toward the door. Slowly, a shadow fell in the doorway, and a young man stepped though. Kisara and Seto gasped.
"M-Mr. Okusaki…" she whispered in awe and fear. The other grinned, dark non-caring eyes glittering in the green light.
"Well…look what the cat dragged in…" he muttered, swirling his hat in his hand. "Kisara, Seto and…oh my…" his eyes fell on Rwet. "The light to this fateful dark…oh what a wondrous day!" Rwet growled at him.
"What did you do…" he whispered icily, eyes narrowing and the silver glint intensifying. "What the hell did you do?" he screamed, fists clenching. Okusaki laughed.
"What do you think?" he bellowed back. "This man has the power to destroy people and cities! You think I would not look into someone so strong? HAH!" Rwet glared.
"And…what will you do when all his power is gone…?" he whispered. The man smirked.
"Kill him and move one to the next person on my list…you…" he laughed after this. Kisara and Seto stared on, but decided that enough was enough.
"You can't take him!" Kisara yelled. "We will get Shwt out of here and Rwet!" Okusuki's smiled fell. He held up his fingers and snapped. Out of no where, their arms and ankles were tied by guards and fell to the ground. Many appeared around Rwet, and grabbed a hold of him. Rwet screamed and fought against him, but couldn't get free. Okusuki walked up to the boy. He placed a gloved hand on his chin.
"Well well…you're putting almost as much as a fight as Shwt over there…" he pointed to the unconsciousness one behind them. "But…you are so much more fragile aren't you?" Rwet bared his fangs and lashed out at him. As before, Okusuki pulled back before he was bitten.
"You are such a little bastard you know that…" he muttered, then smiled. "Oh…yes I found you other group member…" he snapped his fingers. Two more guards came in from the doorway, Elan in their arms. She did not fight that much but stayed in their grasp. Okusuki smirked.
"She decided…to work for us now, right dear…?" he asked. The girl nodded. Kisara and Seto stared.
"Elan?" Seto screamed. "So this was all a set up? Is that really Shwt?" Rwet stepped in.
"It's really him Seto…but it seemed they knew we would be here…" his gaze lifted to Elan. "Can you say why…?" he asked. Elan looked to the floor.
"They would have killed me…" she whispered. "A-and if I did it…they would pay me more to. So I took it." Kisara's eyes narrowed to a deep sapphire.
"You did this all for money?" she screamed. "You have no feeling for anyone! Elan, do you know what you simple action has done?" she screamed again. Elan then smirked.
"Mr. Okusuki told me they were gona kill everyone…their the evil ones you guys…not us." Kisara shook her head.
"Your blinded by his lies Elan!" she cried loudly. "Lies!" Okusuki then snapped his fingers.
"Bring the boy to the same place we brought Shwt to…" he whispered. The guards nodded, talking out a nettle from a case and then made sure that no oxygen was in it by squirting some out. Then brought it to Rwet's shoulder and pricked his skin, injecting a strange red liquid into him. Rwet winced, closing his eyes. But then the drug started to take effect. His vision slowly began to blur and deform in front of him. His eyes rolled back into his head, and everything slowly turned black as the young light fell to the ground in faint. Kisara stared.
"What did you do Okusuki?" she yelled. "What will that do to him?" The man laughed, as the guards placed Rwet on their shoulders and walked out of the room.
"I don't know…the drug reacts differently with different people so…" his inhuman grin widened. "I don't know…." He turned to the guards that were holding them. "Knock them out and bring them to a cell or something, just get them out of my site!" they bowed, hitting bother Kisara and Seto in the back of the head, then dragging them out of the room. Okusuki finally looked over at Shwt.
"Looks like my bait worked well…as did I not have to give up all the power that he possessed to get them here…" He laughed, and turned.
"Soon my friend…you little light and you will be gone forever!" his laughed heightened and grew louder as he exited the lab, and closing the door loudly behind him.
Large eyes slowly opened, blinking slightly, adjusting to the bright light. Sitting up, he ground in pain, as his muscles were very stiff.
'D-damn…' he muttered. 'What the hell happened…Shwt!' He bolted up straight, and looked around this new room.
"W-Where am I?" he asked himself. All the walls were deep silver, and there was nothing here, unless it was the steel door. Rwet walked forward then smelled something. Getting down on the floor, he sniffed it.
'…Blood?' He thought. Lifting his head up, he came upon a puddle of dried blood. Rwet approached it cautiously and then sniffed it. His head suddenly jerked back in surprise and fear.
"This is Shwt's blood!" he yelled. "T-Then Shwt was in here before…but…" he placed his finger on the pool and wiped it across.
"Dry…" he mummered. "That means he was here a long time ago…so he must have been in that damn lab for hours now…wait, how long have I been knocked out?" He looked down at the watch of his. He gasped.
"Three hours more!" he screamed. "NO, were running out of time!" he yelled, the noticed something. His watch said a different date…and that meant…
"Oh god…" Rwet whispered. "7 PM…we only have four hours left…!" he suddenly rammed a fist into the floor. "DAMNIT! What the hell can I do in four hours…." He looked down at his hands and gasped. Bringing themup near his face, he stared.His nails had already hardened and lengthened like claws, and his skin has also paled more than it was beforehand. Rwet looked behind himself, and saw no wings. Sighing with relief, he touched his face, feeling the scar like whiskers under his eyes. Reaching up to his ears, he also felt that they were pointed too. He clenched his teeth.
"Almost done…but why so soon…" he muttered. "At least my wings haven't started coming in yet…" he sighed and looked up at the ceiling.
'…Shwt…' he thought, tears in his eyes. 'How could this have all happened…' he looked down at his hands.
"In the condition I'm in…I can never rescue him. But…but if I transform all the way…maybe I can…" He clenched his fists, as tears fell upon them.
"I can feel that the shadows want me to go faster…because Shwt has somehow…" he looked around. "The real thing that I'm wondering is…how he is all the way through. And a day early too…?" He banged his fist on the ground. "They must have quickened the process! SHIT!" he cried, hitting the floor again. His eyes opened, as tears ran down his cheeks. "…And…and since he's already gone through…I have to as well…" he looked up. "Gods…once this is over…let this never happen again…" he prayed. Standing up, he began to concentrate on the deep magic hidden within him, and forcing it out. At first, he just couldn't grip it. Reaching out and just not there yet. Finally he reached out enough and grasped it. Light shrouded all around his body as the whole room became lightened. Rwet screamed, as with the light came sudden deep pain. But as soon as it came, it diminished, leaving the light feeling warm and yet cool on Rwet's skin. They boy sighed as bright feathery wings sprouted from his back and folded down upon him. Slowly the light diminished, leaving a glowing one standing in the middle of a dull room. His eyes opened exposing glowing silver irises and pupils the size of slits. His wings opened, reveling a deep white glow. He stretched the extra limbs he now acquired, and turned his head to the door. Flapping his wings furiously, he rose off the ground and shot forward toward the door. Hitting it like a bird into a closed window he screeched in protest as his attack made no dent. Growling, baring his now pointed teeth, he settled down so his was on all fours. Glaring at the door, he growled again. Rising up slightly, he opened his mouth and let out an ear-piercing screech that echoed all around the room. Closing his mouth he waited. Not hearing and return to his call, he narrowed his now demonic eyes and called out again. Now highing the pitch so that it was too high for mer mortal ears to hear. Closing his mouth again, he sat up and redness to strike the door again. Now, that he was putting all his magic and power into the strike, the door flew off the hinges that attached to the wall. Coming out into the hall, he whipped his head from side to side. They let out the call again, making it higher and higher. Now out of the small room, the ear-piercing screech traveled farther. Rwet growled again, as he heard no response to his call again. Flapping his wings one more; he took flight and shot down the hall.
An observant in the lab was typing in some last minute information before he took his break. Wiping sweat off his brow, he finished with the calculations and turned the monitor off. Looking up at the sleeping one, he smirked.
"How can someone like this be dangerous?" he laughed to himself, as he turned around. "Everyone is so afraid of a sleeping man, god!" He came to the door to open it, when he suddenly heard a beeping on his mini palm computer. Looking down at it, he saw a reading that was high above normal. Whipping back around, he saw the one in the case was now twitching and claws extracting from his shortened nails.
And crimson eyes snapped open.
