Chapter: twenty-eight
"Venom"
Seras walked through the dark doorway; she heard two voices walking down the hallway towards her. Walter and Stephanie were the two talking. "Hello Seras." Walter said tilting his head slightly. "This is our new recruit Stephanie. She has a restriction level of "C". Seras looked at Stephanie and smiled. "Hello, nice to meet you I hope that your training went well." She asked smiling. She obviously isn't a vampire. Seras thought lowering her eyes. More like a normal average human, the way I used to be. A saddened look took over her face and she sighed under her breath. "Listen, there are two pesky vampires about five blocks away, I believe they are the Gods of Death. I do believe they don't intent to hurt anyone. This would be the perfect first assignment for Stephanie." She waved Stephanie to come her way and she headed back in the direction she came with Stephanie close behind.
Stephanie felt odd following Seras down the cold rainy street without any weapon or technique known at hand. She started to wonder if the vampires she was going to face were going to be as evil as the ones in her manga's. As she continued she remembered that Seras said they weren't to worry about. Questions buzzed around in Steph's head and she began to confuse herself more than she intended. Faint laughs were heard along with the sound of the rain. Steph peeked around at the tops of roofs and buildings for the source of the sound. She turned her head one second and a red wing flew in front of her face. With no time to react she tumbled down with the red winged girl. Her orange curled hair was soaked and her gray blouse was drenched from the puddle. "Damn I should have seen that coming!" The girl mumbled to herself shaking the water from her hair. She sat in the puddle whipping the mud from her face.
A black-gloved hand was held out in front of Stephanie seconds after the fall. "Are you alright?" A boy asked as black feathers flew through the air. Seras shook her head at Stephanie. "You know you could have dodged that attack." She told her with the same British accent. Steph shook her head in disappointment. She can be an ass. Steph thought looking at Seras. "I don't think that was an intentional attack, excuse me for not knowing when a girl was gliding in front of me." Steph back mouthed to Seras, then she quickly thanked the boy for helping her up. The boy waved to Seras and smiled. "Hello, nice to see you again. I feel real bad about throwing that orange." He said gliding towards Seras.
Seras backed away a little containing her personal space. "Y-yeah…it's fine. But can you two please reframe from causing too much attention. It would be dangerous if a human sees you." Seras said with an annoyed face. Kisho frowned and flew back. "Ok, but let me introduce us before we return home." He placed himself on the rim of a window, one knee up to his chin. "I'm Kisho and this is my sister Mayu, we are the Gods of Death. Mayu can see the future while I see the past." Kisho looked at Stephanie and a crooked smile whipped on his face. "You don't believe any of this do you girl? You think all this in only a dream. You don't even understand how you got here?" He curled his lips in and sighed, and then with an act of "ADD" He perked back to his normal self, forgetting the whole thing, or at least not caring. "Oh well, we better leave you two alone and return home." He jumped up standing on the windowsill. He motioned for Mayu and they glided in the opposite direction.
Stephanie stared at the black and red feathers gently falling towards the concrete. She didn't understand how he knew all that had happened to her and what she felt. Then she remembered, He could see the past. She thought sighing. I really don't know what's going on do I?
Mayu walked inside the dark house, she pulled at the annoying black straps around her arms. She gazed around for her brother only to find a blackened room. A faint hissing noise was heard and Mayu went cold. "Kisho, this isn't funny. Where are you?" She asked her arms shaking. "You know I hate it when you tease me!" She screamed into the room only to be answered by her echo. Her heart pounding she walked forward. She came upon a small dimmed light inside her brother's bedroom. "Kisho, please don't scare me." She asked her voice squeaking like a small child's. The green shades to her brother's bed moved slightly making Mayu jump, and the same hissing noise was heard. She walked over to the bed asking for her brother once more before she pulled back the shade.
Her fingers froze as she pulled back the shade, warm tears started to form in her eyes, and for once in her life she was truly scared. "KISHO!" She screamed as her hand rose to her mouth. Her brother had turned into his cat form and he had two snakebites on his leg and is forehead was cut. She tried to hold back her sobs, but all she could think about was what or who did this? "The Venom... Kills when injected." A cold voice implied. Mayu's body turned to ice from the tone of the voice. It seemed as though her tears were frozen in place. She didn't know which was faster, her heartbeat or her body shaking. Before she had time to react a cold hand came up to the side of her face and caught a falling tear. "Est-ce que ja'I dit quelque chose vous faire le cri?" The cold voice asked her grasping her hand. "He got in the way." Her eyebrows lowered and she flung out of the intruders grip. "Geh- Get AWAY!" She screamed as red feathers flew around the room.
The intruder had black silky hair and a wicked smile rose upon his face. He gave a laugh and shook his head. "People like you disgust me. Angels are supposed to guide you." He clenched his face and gritted his teeth. "ANGELS…NEVER EXSISTED FOR ME!" he screamed pulling out a knife from his belt. Mayu stared at him in awe, she couldn't' believe that a young boy like this could be so evil; he wasn't much older than her brother. She was too scared to say a word. 'And now an Angel is going to hell." He told her placing the knife slightly under her chin. He grasped her hair gently with his hand and his face fell towards hers with an evil smile. His breath was cold against her face and Mayu could see the evil in his eyes. She knew she could do nothing to get away. Something about him memorized her. He pressed the knife harder to her throat and laughed evilly. "You better come with me, or your pretty face may be ruined forever." He said once again in his cold tone. Mayu clenched her eyes closed and all she managed to think about before she was out was her brother.
A single white feather flew towards the ground only to be caught by Aion. He gave a smirk and he waved the feathers around him closing his eyes. "She'll be here soon my friends." He told himself laughing. Very soon.
