"This is around where the communicator crashed" Grant said pointing to the map of Dunerfurth.
"Of course, in the worst part of the town, great place to lose communication Misa" Mikela muttered as she went to the main closet and pulled the doors open.
"Mikela what are you doing?" Grant hissed as she started to throw contraptions out, going deeper into the closet.
"I'm going to save her of course" She replied as she grabbed a communicator and placed it in her right ear. She studied the guns before grabbing one and attaching it to her belt. "I'm the only one other than my sister who knows Dunerfurth best, so I'm going"
"Mikela, do you really think that's a good idea, you know Guinevere's gonna get mad." Grant asked worriedly as he glanced around. "You don't work here remember?" Mikela ignored his comment and pulled out a silver watch
"Whats this?" she asked curiously, Grant sighed, knowing she wasn't going to listen to his complaints anymore.
"It's a transporter that we are still working on, you shouldn't use it, it still has a few kinks and we haven't tried it out yet." Mikela looked at him before putting it on her wrist "Mika" he whined.
"Today is a good day to try it." She smiled at him. "Don't worry Grant, I'll be fine." She added as she grabbed a brown cloak and tied it under her chin; it flowed and covered her body, hiding any evidence that she was even a woman. "Here I go" She said as she pressed the side of the watch and disappeared.
Mikela
swung and leaned up against the wall, trying to get over her dizzy
feeling, she noticed her new surroundings. The old brick walls told
her that she was in a dark alleyway, and the purple sky filled with a
moon and a sun told her that it wasn't earth. She pulled the brown
hood over her blonde locks that almost glowed in the world. With one
more check of her cloak she slipped into the busy market.
She
couldn't help but to look around at the different shops, she had to
buy her supplies. Buying some food she started to look for anything
that would give her clues as to the whereabouts of her sister. A shop
caught her attention and she pushed the door open, walking in. The
shop was a scroll shop. She lightly touched her fingers over the
scroll, noticing that the shop keeper was watching her closely, not
trusting her look, or maybe it was her scent, he could smell that she
was a human. Her eyes met his before she went past a bookcase,
knowing that would be the blind spot. Mikela grabbed a scroll and
slowly started to unravel it when it was taken out of her hand
"Can I help you" A low voice whispered by her ear. She slowly placed a hand on her gun as she kept her back to the demon.
"Why yes you can help me, by going to your backroom. And you don't want to disagree with me" she said in an equal low voice.
"No? And what if I do disagree?" The demon taunted. Mikela turned quickly and glared up at him, her gun stabbing his chest, point blank to his heart.
"This" She whispered as she poked him to walk forward. He turned and started to walk to the closed door, with her behind, the safety of the gun unlocked as she kept pushing him with it. He opened the door and walked in, Mikela quickly looked around the shop before closing the door and flicking the lights on.
"Who the hell do you think you are" The demon exploded. "I haven't done anything wrong to make the humans come and attack my shop. What do you have to say about yourself buddy huh?"
"Dere'kral's" Mikela said calmly, although that didn't calm him down
"How the hell do you know my name! What have I done, you trying to run me out of business? Huh? Are you buddy?" Mikela rolled her eyes and sighed. Clicking the safety back on and putting her gun away. She pulled down her hood, trying not to laugh as he gaped at her.
"Are you done yelling at me?" he didn't say anything; just nodded dumbly "I need your help." she stated staring in his grey eyes that used to take her breath away. He chuckled lowly, shaking his silver hair.
"Well well well if it isn't little Mikela, my you've grown since I've last seen you" He grinned wolfishly as he circled around her.
"Yes really nice to see you too...Now tell me, have you seen Michelle lately?" She asked as she placed a hand on her hip, annoyed.
"Your sister...No I haven't why?" he answered looking concerned.
"She went missing last night so I came to find her" she answered as she sat on the chair, running a frustrated hand through her hair.
"I shoulda known you weren't here to visit lil ol' me. No there has been no sign of her" Mika nodded before standing. She started putting her hood up when Dere'kral's hand grabbed her wrist. She looked at him. "Let go, Dere'kral." She said sternly, masking her fear.
"Why? Why after four years you come back, and the only reason is for your sister" He asked, with an unfamiliar look in his eyes.
"Because the only reason I've come back is to find her, I want nothing to do with Dunerfurth" She hissed as she tried to get out of his iron grip.
"Mikela" he whispered her name as his other arm snaked around her waist. "I've missed you"
"Oh yeah, well that's funny, since you were the one who broke up with me" she growled, he stopped with a confused look, she took that chance to wrench herself out of his grip and ran out, putting her hood on as she pushed through the crowd.
"Mika" Grant's voice rang in her ear. She leaned up against a building with a sigh before turning o the microphone
"Yeah I'm here" She replied
"Any luck?" he asked
"Not yet. What about you?"
" Nothing, but according to the map, your close by. Turn left, and you'll be right where she disappeared." Mikela looked to her left and started to walk down towards the darkness "I didn't mean go down there" He said annoyed as she took out some goggles from the inside pocket of the cloak. She put them over her eyes and turned on the light.
"I turned the camera on, so you can see what I can see" she heard Grant let out a stressed sigh. Knowing not to argue.
"Stop where you are… That's where she disappeared" Mikela started to search around the area, her hand touched some fabric making her stop as she picked it up, shining the flashlight on it.
"I found her cloak" She muttered as it ran through her fingers. Something stuck on her fingers and she held them up to see blood. "I found blood…"
"Press the middle of the watch and you'll get a q-tip to analyze it." Grant said as she heard him working on the computer.
"Like Martin Mystery." Mikela joked despite herself. She pressed the middle button and a q-tip shot out, almost falling to the ground "there's the first kink" she grunted as she caught in time and rubbed it on the blood. "Its new" she stated as it came off easily, she put it back in the watch and noticed how the glasses became like a screen showing the DNA match, "some of its Michelle's, but there's another's." she paused, "Grant the other blood…"
"I know, it doesn't make any sense." He muttered her thoughts. Footsteps echoed down the alleyway making Mikela freeze. "Mika, someone's coming"
"I know" she growled, she quickly stood and ran in between two buildings.
"Get out of there, it could be the men who captured Michelle, do you want to be caught as well. And then no one find you!" Grant yelled into the piece making her cringe
"Grant, I've never listened to what you've had to say before, and I'm not going to start now"
"Mikela now is" His voice wet out as she turned the communicator off and hid more into the darkness. A loud drunken voice was heard with snarling and growling.
"So angel boy you dared to piss da boss off, well now I have to kill you" Mikela could see the demon who was talking, he was so drunk he couldn't even stand straight, but he was blocking the 'angel boy' the demon's stiffened body told her that the other guy was saying something. Something that he shouldn't of because he was punched into trash cans. "You bastard!!!" The demon yelled before jumping after him and punching the guy multiple times. Mikela quickly grabbed her gun and unlocked the safety before aiming. The bang echoed through the alleyway and the demon froze before falling over. Making sure it was safe, she ran out to the two hunched over men. Gun pointed to the demon. His angered eyes met hers. But before he could say anything she growled at him
"Move and I'll shoot you again, but this time I wont miss" he shut his mouth and moaned in pain as she crouched down to the other man. He was unconscious and his head lip, and nose was bleeding. Even so, she could see why the guy was calling him an angel. His blonde hair looked more golden than hers. But no angel would be found in Dunerfurth let alone Linderslum. She turned the communicator on before grabbing the guy's arm and slipping it over her shoulder, putting hers on his waist.
"Mikela French you are a stupid stupid girl, as if I wouldn't get in enough trouble for you going with out Gwen's permission, but now you turned off your communicator."
"Hi Grant, I have an unconscious guy with me, I'm taking him to an old friend of mine, and I don't think I'll be going for awhile." She stated as she started to walk.
"Fine, but be careful" He stated gruffly
"I will, sorry if I worried you" She joked before stepping back into the market and to Dere'kral's place.
