Chapter 6- The Heist
TP
Police surround the museum. The searchlights shot into the night sky. They were scanning for a sight of the phantom thief.
He was across the street. Dark was standing on the roof of the hotel. While he looked upon the scene, he gave a soft chuckle.
"Never change, do they," he said
"What do you mean?" asked Dwayne inside his head
"This is the strategy they always used. I thought after fifty years they would change how they do security"
"Well, I guess. You have not been commit theft for a long time. There was no reason for them changing the security"
"Anyway, are you ready, Dwayne?"
"Yes"
"All right then" Dark said "With" The white rabbit jump into the air. Then, his fur turned black. He shifted into a pair black wing. The wings attracted to Dark's back.
Dark took to the sky. He flew toward the museum. Above the lights he rose. Then, he hovered in the light of the moon.
There crowd below was at awe, there was the sound gasps, cheers and yells. They could now, that the Phantom thief had returned.
Then, he dived down. He dodges the ray of lights. Then, he turned pass the clock tower of the museum. While he was behind it, he yelled "Now". He started to fall. To make a safe landing, he rolled just when his body was about to hit the roof.
Dark looked above. With had taken the shape of Dark. With continue to distract the guards.
"I did not know that With could do that" said Dwayne
"Well, you going to find out, all sorts things he can do" Dark replied
He ran across the roof. Then, he opened the window and crawled through it. He stood there for a moment to listen. To see if, there was any sign of any security.
"Dwayne, where is the artwork?" asked Dark
"Second floor, fourth hallway"
Dark headed towards the stairs. He was half way down the hall, when he heard the police. Dark took to the shadow.
"Dark has disappeared. Search the inside of the premiere. We need to catch him. You two stay here in case he comes this way"
"Yes sir"
"What are we going to do?" asked Dwayne
"First, I am the one who is the work here. Second, I guess, I have to to knock them out," said Dark
"What? What kind of plan is that? We can get in some serious trouble if we get to close"
"You doubt my skills in not getting caught"
"No"
"All right then" said Dark as he took a starting position"
"Wait. You are not going to hurt them"
"I am not inhumane. There is another way to knocked them out, though. However, you will be the one who will suffer the consequences."
"What?"
"Remember, what your grandpa told you about me using my magic. Your body will be in pain. It was the reason why I use With. I rather avoid that. If you really want me to use my magic, I will"
"Dark, I am willing to go through the pain"
"All right, let do this. In addition, I will apologize to you now. For, what you might experience."
Dark stepped out of the shadows. He extended toward the guards. Shadows swiftly encircle the guards. After a few seconds, the shadows vanished. The guards collapsed. Dark continue to run pass them and headed down the stairs.
"Dwayne, talk to me, how are feeling" asked Dark
Dwayne did not answer. Dark stopped. All he could hear is Dwayne breath heavily.
"Dwayne"
"I am fine"
"Are you sure? Cause we can do this at another time"
"Yeah, it is just I was not excepting that kind of pain. We can go ahead. Sorry for worrying you"
"It is fine"
Dark was returning to pursuit of the siren. He reached the second floor. He followed the hallway to he got fourth gallery hall. It was on at the end.
He slowly walks through the hall. Pass by the paintings and sculptors. He kept alert. just in case, there was any last minute traps.
"I do not sense any power from the artwork," said Dark
"So, it is not awaken yet," said Dwayne
"It seems so"
Just as he said this, a dim light surround the statuette. The eyes glowed. The siren head began to lift.
Dark took a step back. He tries to block his eyes. Therefore, he could not be under the spell. However, Dark could see a faint outline of a woman. Then, it disappeared.
When he put down his hand, he could see that the siren was not on the display. It was in the hands of another person. A hand covers the head of the statute. The other hand was holding the base.
The person was wearing a black hoodie. The hood was up and covering the person's face. In addition, black pants, leather gloves, and boots.
"Dark" Dwayne said "That the person, who I and Erin saw doing the spell to release you from the black wings"
"Is that so?" said Dark "shall we find out why"
Before Dwayne could answer, Dark approached the hooded figure. "So, you are the one who started all of this"
The person appears surprise. For, Dark had the knowledge about what happened. "How do you know?"
"A little birdie told me," said Dark "Not that I am not glad to free from the Black Wings, it is that I want to know why. In addition, do you know what the damage could be cause to your actions."
"The Hikari's artworks should not exist. It is unnatural for the artworks to have their own spirits. Not to mention what they cable of."
"The artworks was sealed away a long time ago," said Dark "There has been no signs of spirits"
"The fact these artworks are still on display. This means that people emotions are going to affect the powers of the spirits. It might that the spirits would become twice as strong. Now, I am going to do, what should have been done, a long time ago"
Raising the statue above his head, the person began to throw the artwork toward the ground. However, Dark grabbed the arm of the person. He tried to prevent the artwork from being destroy.
"This is not your responsibility ", Dark said
They both struggled. Then, the hood person kicked Dark in the gut. After he fell back, the person ran with the artwork.
"Dark, the artwork id going to be destroyed." Dwayne said
"I am not going let that happen," Dark said
Dark took off. He ran through the hallway. He was looking for the person, until he found them at the open window. The person tosses the artwork out the window. Dark increased his speed. Then, he dived out the window.
It rolled down the sloped roof. Then, it flew up into the air and speeding towards the ground. Dark dove after it. He used the backpack to grab the statue. Then, he called With. Dark flew back toward the Niwa.

The phone rang. I answered it. As soon as I said hello, there was a high pitch squeal.
"Ow, Rei do not do that on the phone. You almost made me deaf in that ear," I told her
"Sorry, I am just excited"
"About what" I asked as I entered my room
"I saw the hottest guy on the news"
"Oh him"
"You saw Dark on the news too."
"Oh yeah, I saw him" as I said that. Dark passed my bedroom. Which, I had to admit was ironic.
"What did you think of him? Is he the dreamiest guy you ever seen?"
"I guess, he pretty good looking"
"Pretty good looking," she said in shock
"I did not good look at him. The reports did not get that close to him." I told her. What I was not mentioning was. While I was watching, my heart was pounding the whole time. At first, I thought I was just anxious. I mean Dark was using my brother's body. Still, I have to admit. I was very impressed how Dark able performs the heist. Even though, I only saw what happen outside the museum.
"Erin, are you there?" Rei asked
"Oh yeah"
"Anyway, there is something I also found out. My grandmother use to date the phantom thief."
"You are kidding"
"No" she began. Before she could finish, her mom called to her. "Looking I have to go. How about we get together at the café tomorrow"
"Sure. I will see you tomorrow," I said
After hang up the phone, I headed downstairs. At the bottom of the stony step, everyone gathered. I could not help but to be little confused.
"Why have not you doing the ceremony yet?" I asked, as I got closer.
"Dark was telling us something a little troubling," said grandpa
"What"
"Apparently, that person you saw when you at museum. They made an appearance and tried to destroy the artwork," said Dark
"Seriously, why" I asked
"It has to do with fact that the artworks have spirits." Said Dark
I could not believe what I was hearing. I wanted to say something. Nevertheless, when I tried, I could not find the words. I finally just took a seat on the steps.
Dark handed the backpack to grandpa. He told that he put a temporary seal on it. Therefore, they needed hurry.
As my grandparents started the ceremony, Dark took a seat next to me. I could feel my heart pounding again.
" How are you feeling, Erin" he asked
"A little frustrated, I mean there a lot going on. I cannot do anything to help"
"I know being on the sidelines is difficult. Might over time you find to help. Until then…"
"Be there for my brother"
Both of us chuckled. "I have to say that you were impressive tonight," I said
"Thank you"
"How is Dwayne?"
"He is fine. We did have a few scares. Everything is fine now. So you do not have to worry." He told me
After the ceremony finished, Dark let Dwayne come forth. Then, we put the siren in a secure location. Then, we started to settle in for the night.
I had the dream again. Then again, it was different. It started the same. However, once I got to the mystery man. The dream continues.
He slowly turned. I was surprise to see. It was Dark.
"Dark" I whispered
"I have been waiting a long time for you," he said. He stroked my cheek, with the back of his hand. "And now, you are finally here, I can at last meet my sacred maiden.
"I am your sacred maiden," I said in disbelief.
He smiled. Then, he looked out toward the view of the ocean. He looked back at me.
"The view is beautiful. Would you care to join?" He extended to me.
I put my hand in his. He guide to the spot. The starry sky was open. The wave softly crash against the rock. It seems so peaceful.
Dark stood behind me. As I stare up at the sky, he wrapped his arms around me. I felt his lips kiss me on the back of the head.
"I will always be here to protect you, Erin"
I sudden woke up. I was taking deep breath. My hand was on my heart. It racing just like it was before; When Dark was sitting next to me. In addition, his voice echoed in my mind. "I can at last meet my sacred maiden"
