Caretaker
The Russian Experiment 2
Laughter escapes the golden-haired girl's mouth. The scientists that were just celebrating turn to stare at the now laughing exorcist. She lifts her body whilst throwing the needles from her body. Her hair turns a turquoise and skin a brown. Her forehead alined with seven crosses and her eyes golden. She stares at them all with a glare of death.
"I think it's time for some shadow play," Shadow says coldly.
Shadow jumps off the table. She lifts her hand, and the glass shatters from the window. Shards that are about to hit the floor, stop. They dart straight towards the men in the front. The woman had fortunately gotten away. Shadow steps outside as the white-haired boy and his guard dog run after her. They finally find her at the gate entrance.
"Caretaker, you need to stop," Allen shouts as he runs.
"Caretaker isn't here anymore," Selena says as she stops.
"I've known Caretaker long enough that she wouldn't give in to her Noah," Allen says sternly.
"I'm only using it temporarily, she'll have it back in no time!" Shadow assures. A sudden disturbance is felt through all three people. Shadow glances up whilst the two boys turn around. The Millennium Earl, along side him is Gabby in a dress.
"Why are you here?" Shadow asks with distaste.
"You seem to enjoy my presence, Shadow," Gabby says with a smile.
"I'm here to collect you, Caretaker, you seem to have become one with your Noah," the Earl says.
"You think I'm going to hand over Caretaker, and myself to you?" Shadow asks as she crosses her arms. "Think again, top hat."
"Caretaker has given in to the Noah, therefor she's become one. It's only logical that she come with us," Gabby explains with a shrug. Shadow rolls her eyes with a frustrated sigh.
"Again, I'm not going with you, I'm only subbing in since she's ill at the moment," she explains annoyed.
"What do you mean?" Gabby asks, becoming worried about the poor girl.
"These people have hurt her a great deal. She literally died from the pain they caused. Luckily I took over her body to keep her functioning for short while longer," Shadow explains. Gabby is taken aback from what she just said.
"Why are you keeping her alive?" the Earl asks.
"Because-" Shadow sighs "-I made a deal with her. I have to keep my contract, otherwise I'm just as bad as everyone else. It's her body, not mine, she decides what she wants to do with it."
"Well, you are persistent, we must get going then, Gabrielle," the Earl says towards the girl beside him. "He has returned from his other mission."
"Who?" Gabby asks.
"You'll meet soon, but for now, let's return to the dinner party. We wouldn't want Sheril's guests waiting for us, now would we?" Gabby smiles with a nod.
"Of course, Earl." With that said, they both leave. Shadow suddenly falls to the ground unconscious. It starts to snow, and fog starts to thicken. The snow blanketed area displays a body in the midst. He remembers his friend that had fallen and immediately strides over to her side. She shows no sign of life, and her skin isn't the golden color it was before. He preforms CPR, trying to save his dear friend's breath from the grasp of official death. His ears perk upward when he hears a faint shuffle of snow.
"Who's there?" he asks in a stern voice.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you," a girls voice answers. A girl in her mid teens appears from the fog. She wears a purple dress that frills at the bottom. It layers with two more types of frills. Her arms are covered with dress gloves and stockings that are a deep purple. Her shoes are one of a school girls and are dark black with a buckle. Her hair is a stark white, with a small butterfly clip, and eyes a golden yellow. She jogs over to the white-haired boy and kneels.
"Why are you here?" he asks angrily. "I thought you left with the Earl a moment ago."
Gabby examines Caretaker's body with worrisome. "I did, but I told him I had to run an errand."
"Way to think outside the box," Allen says annoyed. "But that doesn't tell me why you're here."
She sighs, "Look, you can yell and snarl at me all night if you have to, but that won't help Caretaker. We either need to take her to the Order, or let her die right here and now. You choose."
The white-haired boy thinks for a moment, then groans. "Fine."
"Thank you, now, we're going to have to get her to an infirmary so that she isn't lost completely," Gabby explains.
"Why do you care about her safety?" Allen asks.
"Because, Allen Walker, she's connected to me some how, and I want to know why," Gabby answers. "Come on, I'm coming with you on the train. I know the nearest gate is at least an hour away."
