John sat in a chair staring at a static tv screen while a teenage boy leaned up against the wall behind him.
"So," the boy started obviously had it with the silence, "Who is this Melissa chick?"
"She is mine," John said looking at he screen.
The boy rolled his eyes as if he had heard that answer to many times, "Yah I get that but who is she personally,"
John turned to looked at the hooded boy, "You won't get lucky,"
"Try me,"
Melissa turned in her chair to see Hayden muttering to himself about something again. She couldn't never figure out what it was or why he does it. Melissa looked at one of the boxes and stood.
"Wonder what's in those," Melissa said.
Hayden jumped up as if bitten and nodded.
"Let's open it," Hayden suggested.
"Find a crowbar or something,"
Hayden once again moved around the perimeter of the room until he heard a deafening crunch. He turned to see Melissa standing with a large piece of wood in her hands.
"Never mind," Melissa said as Hayden walked over.
They both looked inside to see metal contraptions and other nasty tools all crammed into the small box. Hayden pulled out a large metal ring and it was labelled 'neck breaker,' one by one Melissa and Hayden pulled out traps with labels on them to identify them. Box tops were torn off and traps were thrown to the floor until they opened a box to find a single veil of green liquid at the bottom.
"What is that?" Hayden asked.
Melissa took the veil unscrewed the top and a horrible stench erupted from the veil.
"It's gas!" Hayden cried.
Melissa put a hand up to her nose and mouth but it was too late, her stomach let out a large unfamiliar gurgle and blood fell from the corners of her mouth. She looked at Hayden to see him doubt over and crash to the ground. Blood started to pour out of Melissa's nose and soon a strangle feeling erupted in her ears as blood leaked out of her ears as well.
"Hayden," Melissa said weakly as blood poured out at once.
A dark figure flew in and out of Melissa's sight as she dropped to the floor unconscious.
Melissa finally woke to an annoying buzzing sound in her ears and a large light on her face.
"Hayden?" Melissa said looking around her surroundings. She found herself chained tightly to a wooden chair and a single fuzzy tv in front of her.
"Hello Melissa," a cold dark voice said from the other side of the room.
Melissa attempted to twist her body to see a dark cloaked figure leaning up against the wall.
"Who are you?" Melissa demanded angrily, she had enough of this crap.
"You already know the answer to that question don't you?"
Melissa's eyes widened, "John?"
The figure emerged from the dark shadow on the wall and faced Melissa with it's cold stare. Melissa shook her head, "What the hell are you doing?"
"You are messing up my game Miss. Art," John said plainly as if that was already obvious.
Melissa frowned, "I don't know what you are talking about,"
"You have made some testy moves with the past few victims who were very sick. I'm just here trying to fix them when they need to be fixed while you are sitting in the chair thinking of how to help them,"
Melissa tried to steer John off in a different direction but John shook his head and said clearly, "Your expression says it all,"
Melissa looked at John with a cold stare back, the only thing she wanted to know was-
"Where is Hayden?" she said coldly.
John walked around her while saying, "He is doing fine somewhere else but don't worry, you'll see him soon enough,"
Melissa looked at him in horror as the tv flicked on showing Hayden unconscious in a bare room.
"Don't worry about him, his turn isn't up yet,"
Melissa knew that straining against the chains wouldn't do anything and god forbid making John mad.
Somewhere in the building Silver and Lyric were having a brawl, Silver kept dodging slices as Lyric jumped at her.
"What the fuck?!" Silver shouted at Lyric in frustration.
Lyric didn't say anything but breath in deeply and loudly as she leaped up at Silver and sliced her cheek.
"Bitch!" Silver shouted as she spat out saliva and blood mixed.
Lyric didn't say anything until Silver jumped up and sliced her arm.
"Get away from me!" Lyric yelled threatening Silver by holding up her bloodied scalpel.
"Fine by me," Silver said backing away but Lyric wasn't finished yet she charged at Silver with full force but Silver was ready. She swung her arm in an upper cut and gave Lyric a nice slice down the middle of her face. Lyric stopped almost immediately and swayed on the spot for a couple of seconds before she crashed to the ground. Blood poured out of her face and made a puddle at Silver's feet.
"Bitch," Silver muttered.
John sat in front of Melissa who made no attempt to escape, she knew that it was useless to escape John's traps.
"So what am I suppose to do?" Melissa asked.
John paused to think and finally smiled, "I have a friend I'd like you to meet, be nice to him for he is a beginner like you. I can only have one apprentice to teach too many can cause problems and it usually ends up in a bloody battle,"
"Really?" Melissa replied sarcastically.
John got up and walked to the door and another pair of feet echoed as John's 'friend' came in. He came up and stood in front of Melissa and she gasped. He stood about 5'10 with spiky dirty blonde hair. He had on a ankle-length black trench coat on and a revolver was held in his left hand as his cold sea blue eyes looked at her. Melissa's body froze up completely she should've seen this coming, the sudden vanishing, blood letters been sent to her house directed to her, and the dead bugs that were found in her bed one night. Melissa stared into the eyes of her brother.
"Melissa Art," John said, "I'd like you to meet Dimitri Art,"
A/N: So Melissa's long lost brother is revealed t be Jigsas's next apprentice but she was already declared so. Everything will be explained in the next chapter. Reviews are welcome
