I suddenly awakened to the sound of my alarm that I set. I was almost wondering when it would go off or if I even needed it because the night was full of insanity for me. I was starting to fear what would become of me if I stayed any longer, but I should never forget that God is watching over me. He even shut the mouths of lions when Daniel was in the lions' den for serving God. I got myself together and grabbed my belongings, making sure everything was in place. I slowly opened the door to my room without a sound and proceeded to go down the hallway, doing my best to avoid detection. I tried to remember the directions that Sakuya took to get to my room and reversed it as I avoided being spotted by Sakuya herself, along with any of the other fairy maids in case they were given any orders concerning me. I found myself approaching the room I was brought to earlier in the night and heard a conversation going on. I soon recognized the two voices as Remilia's and Patchouli's. I got as close as I could without being seen to listen in on their conversation.
Patchouli: "...hardt and I made a deal. He would stay here if he retrieved my books for me and we would hide him from Yukari and whoever else she hired to find him. He could be even more useful to us if we allow him to do more tasks for us."
Remilia: "Patchi, you're my good friend, but you're forgetting. We decided to hire him as part of Yukari's contract to give us human food from the outside world. If you wanted your books back, you could've asked Sakuya or your assistant of yours to retrieve them. Better yet, you could get up off of your own lazy butt and get them yourself!"
Patchouli: "You know me, I'm an indoors kind of person. I also have Asthma and it could act up any time."
Remilia: "Well I'm a vampire. I have an excuse to stay indoors! And you have an inhaler you can take with you, so stop making these excuses and let me have my dinner! If anything goes wrong, then we can always call Yukari to settle this matter. She is, after all, the one who is looking for this fugitive or whatever he is."
I knew it! I couldn't quite confirm it until now! Let's be glad I didn't say that out loud, because I'm out of here! I felt a bit shaky from the jeopardy of my life, but I turned around and had all-the-more reason to shake. Standing behind me was a somewhat tall-seeming maid clad in a blue maid's outfit with a pocket watch in one hand and three knives in the other. Sakuya Izayoi had completely pinned me down.
Sakuya: "Going somewhere, Torres-san?" I was quickly in a cold shock from the surprise.I didn't know what to say at that point, but I quickly tried to grab my survival knife as Sakuya threw hers close to my hand.
Sakuya: "Don't even think about it. Maybe we should talk to the mistress about this matter if you want to get violent." She grabbed me by the arm and walked me into the room where Remilia and Patchouli were as they were surprised by my unexpected entrance with Sakuya. My heart was racing as my mind was telling me to race out of here. I tensed the arm Sakuya was grabbing, but she clenched on tighter.
Remilia: "Oh, you're not thinking of leaving us so soon, are you? I thought you wanted to stay safe and hidden."
Reinhardt: "Your plans are full of nothing but nasty selfishness involving the shedding of my blood! You had no intentions of keeping me safe. All you wanted was a taste for my flesh! That is all you care about! We-" She cut me off there with Sakuya stilling my voice with her knife close enough to my neck to make an incision with the slightest of words.
Remilia: "What did you expect? I'm a vampire after all, and you're a simple human in a world full of man-eaters. It seems that the cricket jumped right into the mouth of the lizard, and you're no lizard."
Reinhardt: "The both of you are cold-blooded anyways, you bloody lunatic!"
Remilia: "Yes I am, aren't I. Hahaha ha. You're not going to leave this place alive unless I say so!"
Reinhardt: "Sure I will, watch me!"
I grabbed Sakuya's knife-wielding hand with my free hand and headbutted her until she let go of me as I kicked her away. I quickly ran out of the room and into the hallway, making random turns, trying to figure out the relative architecture of the building to help me out. Sakuya tried to cut me off by using her time-manipulating power to "teleport" in front of me, but I just rammed into her and cast her aside as I continued toward the main hall. When I arrived there and started heading towards the door outside, I suddenly saw a familiar portal pattern appear before me, forcing me to stop. The ever-so-recognizable figure then emerged from her gap, followed by her nine-tailed fox friend. Before me stood Yukari Yakumo and her subordinate, Ran Yakumo. At that point, I ran out of breath and energy and fell to a knee.
Yukari: "Aww, giving up already? Weren't you the one who spoke of a God who helped you with just about anything? He must be sleeping!"
Reinhardt: "You shut your mouth! My God never fails or sleeps! He will help me out of this storm! You will see! My God can't say that there will be no storms or hard times, but He promised me that He will help me out of those storms." As I look upon the situation I'm in, it'll truly take a miracle from God and His Angel armies to get me out of here. I see the enemy wherever I look, including Sakuya having been slightly beaten by my haste.
Yukari: "Since you like to talk about your wonderful God in Heaven, how about I send you somewhere on the other side of the universe."
I couldn't even imagine how she could pull that off, but when she said that, she opened another gap and Ran grabbed me to throw me in. Lord, whatever is going on, I hope You have a plan for me. You always do and it comes together for me when You've done Your work. As I get my senses back together, I notice dark, jagged and cold-hard walls around me going as far up as I can see and I look up to see a few stars fading with a slight tint of orange. I can only guess that I'm in a huge, deep hole far down enough to reach... The Underworld! Well, I don't believe that it's anything even remotely relating to some former hell because I know what hell would be in reality according to The Word Of God, but I still look at these walls and see how far up they go and begin to doubt when Jesus spoke to me. "Do not doubt, for I am there for you. I was always there for you, knowing where you will go because I've already been there, My Child. I command all of the Universe because I created it, and I shall lead you out of the valley of the shadow of death, if only you will keep your faith in Me, child." When I heard these words, I knelt down to glorify Him endlessly, confidently believing that I will make it out of here. Thank You, Lord, for always being at my side and protecting me from danger.
