Wings of Darkness
Chapter Twelve: Remember
The two gasped and turned to face the speaker, Dark holding Kyari protectively to his chest.
"Are we interrupting anything?" Dimitri smirked.
Kyari gasped, her eyes wide and shinning from the light behind the group before them.
Dimitri was standing in front of them, light shining in from the other room. Behind him was a group of men, at least seven, rather large and muscular. It was the people beside Dimitri that surprised Kyari.
Krad was standing there, a wicked smirk cast upon his handsome face. His eyes were surveying he scene before him. Under each arm was two boys.
"D-Daisuke!" Kyari gasped. "Satoshi!"
"They…they caught us just before…we got to the police." Satoshi grunted, trying to pull free of Krad's strong grasp.
"Let them go!" Dark growled, getting to his feet, his arm draped around Kyari's waist to pull her out of danger if needed.
"I don't think so." Krad said acidly.
"Come with us and they go free." Dimitri said, folding his arms contently across his chest. "Or we could make it hard…"
"He has my necklace." Kyari said to Dark under her breath. "We can't get all of us out unless I have it."
"Okay." Dark said with a wicked smirk, turning back to the group before them. "You have something…other than the kids…that belong to us."
Dimitri smirked, holding out his palm towards the two Wings. In his hand was Kyari's necklace, the creamy white stone almost seemed to shiver at it's closeness to Kyari.
"Give it back!" Kyari growled, moving to grab the necklace, Dark held her back.
"Come with us." Dimitri said calmly, his eyes dancing with laughter. "And you get the necklace…and the boys go free."
Dark turned to Kyari, he could tell by the look in her eyes that she was considering it.
He wouldn't let her go, not again.
With a blink of an eye Dark had let go of Kyari and launched himself at Dimitri, catching the man off guard.
The two fell to the ground, Dark trying to get the necklace back, Dimitri trying to get the teenager off him.
"Someone get them!" Dimitri hollered, puncing Dark, hard, in the jaw.
Dark fell to the side, a trickle of blood dripping from the side of his mouth.
Before Dark could attack Dimitri again, however, two pairs of strong hands grasped his arms, pulling him ruthlessly to his feet. He saw, too, that a man had already apprehended Kyari, her hands twisted painfully behind her back…including her broken wrist.
"You're hurting her!" Dark growled, struggling against his captives grip.
The man smirked and gripped Kyari's wrist more tightly. She gasped in pain.
"Stop it!" Dark shouted.
"Shut up!" Dimitri snapped. "Take them away! Bring the children too."
"What?" Kyari shrieked. "You said they'd be set free!"
Dimitri laughed. "Set free? I don't think so. They've seen too much."
Krad laughed, "Stupid girl."
"Oh, and lock him up with them too." Dimitri smiled. "We can't have any Wings floating around."
Krad gaped at Dimitri as three men apprehended him. "W-What? You-You bastard!"
"Hey, you knew it would happen sooner or later." Dimitri shrugged, disappearing into a small room.
"Fuck!" Krad swore, pounding at the stone walls that kept him locked up. "How could he do this?"
"Told you so." Kyari said flatly, leaning against the wall, her arm comfortingly around Daisuke's shoulders.
"Shut up." Krad hissed. "He wasn't supposed to betray me! I helped him!"
"So?" Dark said impatiently. "That doesn't mean he wouldn't betray you. Dimitri's an ass and always will be an ass, you can't expect anything more from him."
"What's going to happen to us?" Satoshi asked, he was sitting in the corner of the room closer to Kyari and Daisuke, staring blankly at the stone floor. "There's no way we can get out of this room."
"Dai did it." Kyari smiled, patting Daisuke's head. "We all should be able to do it."
"And how is that?" Krad snapped.
"Well…" Kyari sighed, shrugging. "I'm not sure…I've never escaped successfully with more than one person."
Krad gaped at her. "Successfully? What's that supposed to mean?"
Kyari frowned, lowering her gaze to the floor. "The first time I escaped…I wasn't alone. Koran, a friend of mine, and I tried to escape together. In the end, he couldn't fit through the window fast enough, and they got him."
Flashback
"Fly Kyari!" Koran shouted, his voice echoing through the open window. "Get away from here!"
"I can't leave you!" Kyari cried, reaching her hand through the small opening, tears streaking down her cheeks.
Koran had been a good friend to her while they were both trapped in that horrible place. Only two years younger than her, only fourteen, he'd been strong. Dimitri had put him through vigorous tests because he was a Wing. Kyari had been surprised that he'd lasted this long.
"Go!" Koran shouted, punching one of the guards in the face, knocking him to the ground. "I'll be fine!"
"No! I won't leave you!" Kyari cried. She could hear footsteps coming around the corner of the building to catch her. What was she going to do?
"Go!" Koran pleaded. "One of us has to make it out of here!"
"But…you'll die!" Kyari sobbed, her black wings folding over her body as the group of men approached. "I won't let that happen!"
"Please Kyari," Koran said frantically as more men filed into the room, tackling him to the ground. "Get out of here!"
Kyari gasped as Dimitri stepped into the room, and all the fighting stopped.
"Koran please! You can fight them!" Kyari cried.
"Someone get her!" Dimitri snarled, pointing to the small window.
Kyari backed quickly from the window, her back slamming into the wall across the alley. She could see, through the small opening, Dimitri walking up to Koran, something black in his hands.
Dimitri said something to Koran, something Kyari couldn't hear. Koran replied with a simple, "Fuck you."
A piercing sound shattered the silence and Kyari's heart stopped.
Dimitri turned to her, a devilish smirk on his face, the smoking gun limply in his hands.
Kyari covered her mouth to stop the burning sobs that threatened to overcome her.
"Koran…Koran no!"
End Flashback
Kyari shook her head, tears stinging at her eyes. She'd watched Koran die…his soul slowly slip away from him. He'd been so young…hardly a chance to live.
"Kyari? Are you okay?" Dark asked.
Kyari looked up, noticing that Dark had stepped in front of her, his hands on her shoulders.
Kyari nodded, lowering her head so Dark couldn't see her unshed tears. "I'm…fine." She felt his arms encircle her, and she broke down in tears.
She couldn't risk having someone else die…She'd make sure everyone was out of the building okay…and then she'd finish Dimitri off.
It was the only thing she could do.
"It's okay Kyari." Dark whispered in her ear, his breath hot on her face, his embrace comforting. "Whatever happened…it's not your fault."
"I couldn't save him." Kyari whispered, resting her head on Dark's shoulder. "If I'd only gone back for him…he was so young."
Her gaze fell on Daisuke and Satoshi. Daisuke had moved and sat beside the blue-haired boy. Her heart swelled at the sight. They were the same age as Koran was…she knew now that Dimitri wouldn't hesitate in killing them, not for an instance.
A flash of Koran's blank eyes flashed across her mind, his silver hair soaked in his own blood, his face stone cold.
She wouldn't let that happen again.
VERY short chapter…but hey, whatever.Next chapter will be better, this one was to just explain about Koran and stuff like that.
