Chapter Four

After what seemed like hours of walking we approached a cavern where irate voices were spilling out of the entrance. Koichi walked into it like he owned it and every one in it. When the men saw Koichi they stopped their squabbling and dropped to their knees and said "Sorry master please forgive us we didn't see you there, is she the one," all Koichi did was nod then after they stopped graveling and begging for forgiveness they led us to a small room with a worn down small exam table in the middle. It looked rather uncomfortable but I had a feeling that I would be on it for too long. Koichi began to stroll toward the exam table and then he placed me on it ever so gently. Then the men came and asked Koichi to remove all of my garments and that he should return tomorrow I was screaming with my eyes 'stay please stay,' he looked at them and said "I'm not leaving her with you incompetent fools," his voice began to change like there was someone else there. Then one of the men although they seemed more like villains to me, injected an opaque liquid into me and my vision began to distort. Then I heard Koichi say don't fight it in the new strange voice, that's when and that's when it hit me he'sjust like me! My god I thought there was no one else! That's when a voice that no one else seemed to hear said "Take their energy you need it," I thought do the others know? And the voice said "We can discuss this later just take their energy," so I did I sucked the people to the brink of death. When I was done we had the most open and honest conversation I have ever had. "So I guess you're like me right?" was the first question "Yes I suppose that I am just like you, Amaya and I know you didn't think there was any one else," Koichi appeared to be so self assured it was peculiar. "I had always hoped that I would find you but I never thought that you were right under my nose the whole time. But I wasn't sure enough to say anything until that night, you see we are the only ones left of our kind," subsequent to this my body began to go in to a grandmal seizer and there was a vast pain all over my body. The pain was so vast that I started to lose consciousness; the last thing I remember is a scream which later turned out to be mine. When I became conscious again I was in the arms of a strange yet familiar boy I started to struggle but he said "I'm Takuya I'm a friend of Koichi's," I decided to trust him for now. I can always take his energy later. Then we can upon series of doors the boy entered the last door on the left then we come up on two rows of four beds Takuya placed me in the first one on the left. Then he said "you gave us all a good scare now try to get some sleep someone will be by your bed all night I'm up first then it's Koiji, after him it's Koichi, and to finish the night is Zoë," I wanted to ask him what happened and why he was doing this for a complete stranger but all I could spit out was "Why,"
