Chapter 17 An Obsessive night out
-- Scene switch
--- Flashback
A man in the shadows was watching the whole scene.He pulled out a cell phone and dialed a number.
Somewhere cold and dark a man was sitting in a hug chair, facing the window, so you couldn't see if face. When the phone ran her reached out a hand to pick it up.
" Yes?"
" Sir, Yume is back."
In a hotel room a young man stood by the window, looking out. A blade was clutched in his hand, and it began to glow a white and purple light. " She's here isn't she? Yes I know, danger ahead."

A young girl skipped along the catwalk's bars of the abbey.
" Cae?" came a young voice from behind the girl. She turned, almost loosing her balance on the bar.
" Who are you?" the little girl asked. The boy had red and orange hair, with red and orange eyes. (Think Aki from CERES)
" It's me Aki." The boy persisted to the young girl. She had black hair with wolfish gray eyes. She tilted her head and watched him.
" I don't know you do I?"
Aki ran a hand through his hair, " Of course you know me, I'm-" Suddenly Boris walked over and grabbed the young girl. He didn't even spare Aki a glance, who slipped back into the shadows.
" Lets go Sapphire." Her grunted and dragged the girl away.

Sapphire awoke in her room again. She groaned and climbed out of bed. She stood there shivering for a while. God it was cold.
' Silver, if it is so cold, why are you up?'
Sapphire jumped at that voice. ' Oh, hi Alexiel, I need a bath.'
Alexiel gave the young women a strange look, ' Didn't you already take one?'
' Yes, but…I need another one.'
--
Sapphire leaned, with her hand resting on the bathroom counter top, and stared at the mirror. What was going on? She gave a groan and dunked her head under the cold water, which had gathered in the sink. She held her breath for as long as she could and then jerked back up, panted and fighting for air.
Sapphire grabbed a towel and dried her face, and turned on the shower, but just turning the cold knob.
She stepping in and flinched as the cold water beat down her back. She stood like that for quite sometime.
' Silver, you have to get out, go for a walk.'
Sapphire opened her eyes and saw Alexiel outside the shower and sighed.
' Ok, I'm going.'
She got out and got dressed in a black shirt with a black trench coat over that. She then pulled on black jeans and her black gloves.
' Silver, is it really that necessary to wear that much…black?'
' No, but I like it.' Sapphire pulled her hair up in a ponytail and took the elevator down to the lobby.
' Silver, take your blade.' Alexiel appeared next to Sapphire. Sapphire signed again and took the blade Alexiel handed her.
' 'K'
" Hi," Sapphire walked up to the hotel counter. " Could you leave a message to anyone who's looking for me?"
The boy at the desk nodded, " Uh…you name?"
Sapphire thought about it, well Kai knew she was Silver, the Demolition Boys knew about Silver, " Uh…Silver, Silver Rye, just say I'm out, I'll be back soon."
Sapphire exited in a hurry and moved down the dead silent street. Her hands were tucked into her jean pocket and her black boots moved silently down the street.
She turned a corner and entered a pub. She slid into the bar seat and gave the man serving a glare.
He hurried over, " What may I get for ya?"
" Beer."
The man handed her a beer (opened) and started to clean the glasses, " Not much of a talker are ya?" Sapphire gave him another glare and took a swing. " Look lady, I'm just tryin' ta be nice, how 'bout ya name?"
" Silver."
" Tha, one pretty name, ya got." Silver rolled her eyes and watched to guys get into a fight.
" Thanks."
He leaned on the counter, " So, ya got a boyfriend?" Silver turned her cool blue eyes to him.
" No."
" Well that, is one lose, such a pretty gal like ya." He slipped a finger under her chin and tilted her head up. Silver's eyes immediately flooded silver, she met his eyes coldly and with a flick of her wrist, she knocked his hand away.
" Leave me alone." She hissed and moved down a couple of seats.
" No one rejects me!" He grabbed her arm and gave it a squeeze. Silver wrenched her arm back and snarled at him.
" What part of leave me alone do you not get!" She said everything slowly, as if speaking to 3 year-old. The guy reached for her again, but another arm streaked out, punching the guy in the face.
Silver let out a claiming breath and turned to the guy that punched the lights out of the bartender.
" Thanks," she pushed her bangs behind her ear and looked up at the guy. She was caught in smothering amber eyes.
The guy nodded and sat down next to her. Silver tilted her head and stared at his flame red and orange hair. He was tall, way taller than her. He was at least a good 6'2''. And Silver was only 5'2''. He had pale skin, like hers, and Silver assumed that he had Russian blood running in his veins.
" Hmmm, you made me knock out the bartender, now I can't get a drink." He frowned at her, but his eyes were twinkling.
Silver let her mouth drop open then she caught on to his point and started laughing. " You were the one that decided to get involved."
The guy started laughing too, and that was when Silver noticed that he was about her age. He gave her a lopsided smile, " The name is Aki." Silver took another sip of her beer and looked like she was trying to decide if he was worth her time. She broke into a smile and shook his hand.
" Rye, Silver Rye." When Aki heard her name, he jerked his hand back, as if her was burnt by fire.
He stared at her blankly, " You said your last name was Rye?" Silver gave him a confused look, " yeah, that's my last name."
" What your middle name?"
Silver stared, " Wha-stop, freeze, look buddy, we just met, and you're asking for my middle name?"
Aki's face-hardened, much like Silver's " Just answer the question." Silver stood up, " I don't have to answer you." She snapped harshly and tossed some money onto the counter and exited.
" You're right, she has changed."
Silver ran down the street, her trench coat trailing behind her. What was her life turning into? Almost everywhere she went; there was some creep to bug her or tell her she wasn't human or something.
When she turned the corner to the hotel, she was grabbed and dragged into an alleyway.
A hand covered her mouth and a tongue licked at her ear. Silver cringed and gave a useless straggle. " Let me go!" She hissed, but the person, made not response that he heard her.
The sick pervert, continued with what he was doing. Silver kicked the person in the shin as hard as she could master. She was rewarded with the satisfaction of hearing the grunt of pain.
When she turned around to see who it was, she wished she hadn't. Lance stood there glaring at her. " Uh oh." Silver began to edge backwards, " Shit!" she exclaimed and sprinted into the hotel, when Lance cut into the chase.
She skid into the lobby and the boy at the desk looked up in confusion. Silver bent over panting after she ran up the 3 flights of stairs. She stood silently and couldn't hear Lance's footsteps anymore. She turned towards the steps and cocked her ears. (She's stupid, ain't she?) A hand was placed on her shoulder, causing her to whirl around and scream. A hand covered her mouth, Silver's eyes widened in relief when she saw Tala.
" Oh my god," she muttered weakly and slumped into him.
" What are you doing out so late?" he demanded, " You've been drinking." Silver let out a sigh, " Yeah, and I needed a drink." She tried to steady herself, but failed miserably.
Tala dragged her off, and unknown to the both of them, Lance stood in the shadows of the stairway, seething.
5 pages, not bad… Anyway, hope you liked this chapter, I wrote it after watching In Hell. I'm telling you don't watch that movie. I wished I hadn't, and I'm telling you now, you don't want to. And sorry for the long wait, been very busy!
Now back on track, neh, it isn't my best chapter.
Some questions that are bound to come up, but you'll just have to read to find out won't you?
Who is Aki? (You would know if you read ASS aka A Short Story)
Why is Lance like that? (Pretty obvious on that one)
Thank you for everyone who reviewed!
