Okay! Time for a new chapter. Let me see if I can get further with this thing. Sorry everyone I know it's not as good as part one. I'm trying!
Chapter Seven
Rain must have started to fall sometime while I was sitting there by the tree. I wished that I wasn't so deeply in love with Yuki because even while I sat there, I wanted to return to him. Unfortunately, I don't remember which way I ran from. Getting up slowly, I heard this familiar voice speaking softly to me. "Shuichi, it wasn't a fling." Yuki stood before me, holding the carrier. "If I was given a choice, it would have never happened. They said if I did it then they would let you go. I never expected a baby would come from it."
"Why lie to me and say it was half angel?"
"She is half angel. No normal human baby could put up a wind barrier like that."
"I don't get it."
"They are looking for a weapon that they could control. Unfortunately the mother wasn't being very cooperative. They wanted to raise this baby and train her to do their will. They didn't expect Mindy to escape with the child."
"Mindy?"
"That's how I came up with the name for the apartment. The last name isn't hers though. She found me by connecting the name on the apartment with the time that I spent in New York to negotiate your return."
"Where is she now?"
"I don't know." Yuki glanced down at the baby. "Let's go back so I can fill in more pieces."
I sighed and walked with him. "Yuki, I'm sorry."
"Don't be. I should have told you everything to begin with."
"How did they get a hold of an angel? I didn't think they could be touched."
"Mindy isn't a real angel. They created her from her human body. They added wings and pushed her psychic powers higher than that of normal humans. Apparently that went to the baby in a different form."
"What do you mean?"
"The baby has control over the wind. Mindy can move things with her mind."
"Oh. What are they planning on doing? Just using her to kill people and invade countries?"
"I don't know. I suppose."
"Can our government get here."
"Not that American government could stop them. They could come over as tourist and kidnap her. I mean she's not even ours, and we made it here without anyone stopping us."
"That's true." We walked back into the apartment building.
"How long are we going to stay here?"
"Like I said. We now have a day before her growth spurt."
"How did they do that?"
"That I don't have any answer to."
Just as Yuki turned the doorknob, the door opened. Arms reached out and grabbed him. "Shuichi! Take the baby!" I grabbed the carrier just as Yuki disappeared through the door.
I took off down the steps, hearing someone running after me. I was so worried about Yuki, but I had to get the baby out of here. I didn't understand what the man was saying which made me think that America was in on this.
I stumbled out the stairwell and into the main lobby. I had trouble breathing, but I kept going. I went out through the door and looked at the doorman. "Call the police! Bad men in our room," I barely said in English. I'm glad I had a few weeks in America beforehand.
The doorman pulled out his cellphone and started to call the police. I saw the men chasing me enter the lobby. Gasping, I moved away from the door and hid between the buildings. The men ran passed me, and the doorman didn't try to stop them.
After the men were far away , I moved out of my hiding place. I walked back to the doorman. "Are they on their way?"
"Yes," he said as I turned around to look for the police cars but didn't see any.
I felt something hit the back of my neck. I instantly felt dizzy and collapsed on the ground. The man grabbed me and tossed me into the back of the van that pulled up. I barely had any awareness of what was going on. All I knew was that the van was moving quickly, the baby was no longer in my arms, and I could see Yuki unconscious next to me.
The van came to a sudden stop. Two men grabbed Yuki and a third pulled me out. I saw a large red brick building before they threw something over my head to block my sight. I still don't know how I managed to stay conscious, but I did.
The man carried me for awhile before he threw me on the ground. I pulled the black towel off my head and looked around. The room was cold and all the windows were boarded up. I saw Yuki on the floor and dragged him over to the bed. Once I got him under the covers and comfortable, I leaned against the bed and closed my eyes. There was nothing I could do right about now. The door was locked, and I couldn't leave Yuki. Then there was the fact that I didn't know where the baby was. We were so close to her growing up. Even though I didn't know the baby well, I felt sorry for her and feared what they would do to her.
I heard Yuki moan, and I looked back at him. "Are you okay?"
"Just a headache. Where are we?"
"I don't know."
"The baby?"
"They got her. The doorman was in on it."
"Shit." Yuki moved over and pulled me up in the bed. "No use you catching a cold sleeping on the floor."
"You seem calm about this."
"What more can we do?"
"You're right." I curled up in the bed next to him. He felt colder than normal so I wrapped my arms around him. "You feel cold."
"I'll get warm in a little bit. Just stay still." I nodded and closed my eyes. I didn't want to fall into a deep sleep. Just light enough so I could rest and hear if someone walks into the room. I knew Yuki would do the same, but I wanted to make sure that no one caught us by surprise.
I hope that's better! Forgive me I'll make it a little more interesting. Thanks for reading please review!
