Chapter 12-What the Eyes See

TP

Dwayne was flipping through the channels. There was nothing really on, at least nothing that he and Dark could agree upon watching. The news flipped on. There was a reporter in front of the art museum.

"We are still waiting for Dark to appear. It has been fifteen minutes seen the time that was in the warning letter. The question that some of us are having is if it was Dark that sent the warning letter. Could someone else be pulling a prank on the whole city"

"WHAT" screamed the voice inside Dwayne's head

"Ouch" said Dwayne checking his ears to make sure his ears were not bleeding "I know you are taken by surprised. Still, you should take down the volume. I can you more clearly this way"

"How dare that jerk, use my name like that" Dark growled

"So" Dwayne started "You did not sent in the warn the warning letter"

"No, you moron" Dark said in angry tone "If I did, you would have known"

"Right" Dwayne said sheepishly "what do we do now. Do we just go over there?"

"Looks we have to. I want to the person who is behind this whole thing"

Dwayne turned off the television. Then, he ran upstairs to his room. He changed his clothes. When he was done, his grandma voice came from behind him.

"Dwayne Robert Niwa"

"Robert" Dark snorted

"I hate my middle name," Dwayne groaned

"What are you up to?" asked his grandma

"Well, you see. Someone sent in a warning letter" he replied

"Towa never mention that another artwork had awakened" she replied

"There was a report on the news" Dwayne respond

"Come on" she gestured to follow her "We talk to your grandpa about this"

"We don't have time for this," Dark yelled

"Volume, Dark, volume" he replied to him

They found Daisuke in the cellar. He was in the midst studying about the artworks. His wife tapped on the shoulder to get his attention. He was startled.

"I am sorry, honey," she said

"Well, isn't this familiar" said Dark to Dwayne

"It is alright" Daisuke said to his wife "what is going on?"

"There is a situation. Apparently, someone sent in a warning letter. It was not anyone here" she went on

"Oh, I thought this might happen. That why I have doing a fair amount of research since this whole thing began"

"What do you mean you thought that this might happen?" asked Dwayne

"Whoever is behind bring Dark back and inferred with the first heist. Is wanting to the artworks destroy. Apparently, with Dark around, this person cannot succeed in that goal"

"They want to get rid of Dark. Then, why reawaken the Black Wings" asked Dwayne

"Mine guess, it so they can be aware which artworks are the Hikari's"

"Now, Dark is getting in their way," said Riku

"You bet I am" Dark commented, despite the fact that Dwayne was the only person who could hear him

"It is a trap of some sorts," asked Dwayne

"Yes, and if you and Dark choose to face this, I want you two to be careful" said his grandpa

"Of course, we are to see. It is not like Dark wants me to sit on my hands and do nothing," said Dwayne

"Okay, I have to give Dark and Dwayne more props for doing this" I told myself. I was beginning understand how difficult it was to be stealthy. Trying to be quiet, therefore, I would not alert the guards. All the while, trying to keep up with the hooded figure, it proved to be rather hard. There was a couple times, where I did knock into the benches.

Quickly I check around the corner. There were no guards. I went down the hallway. I was sure that I saw the head down this way. It seem once he got out of the basement. He took off and if I saw him. It was a mere glance of him turning the corner.

"This is getting me nowhere," I said quietly. Then, a thought came to me. Instead of following the person around, I need to figure out where the Eye of the spirit is display. This person is heading there anyway. He probably does not really know where it is. I can get there before he does.

I turned around and headed towards the lobby. There was one guard. I careful tiptoe to where the maps are and left the room. Once I got the landing on the stairs, I checked the map. I found the display on the third floor in the first hallway.

I head there immediately. I was getting close the top step. I could hear footstep coming down the hall. It could be guard or that person. I backed away slowly. Therefore, they would go pass. With that, I could come behind, if it is that person.

My eye site was a little above the top step. I could see a pair of legs begin to pass by. All the sudden they stop. Then, who ever it was, turned and approached the stairs.

A voice called out "I know you there. Come on out"

I can believe this. They know I am here. I walked down the rest of the stairs. Then, I hid behind the walls that lead the next fleet of stairs. I pray that they continue.

However, that was not the case. The person came down the stairs. Before I could move farther away, they grabbed my arm. With a swift tug, I flew back.

"Erin, what are you doing here?"

I looked up. I saw that it was Dark. I was a bit of relieved.

"Thank goodness, it just you" I said

"Answer my question" Dark barked

"I saw the hooded figure. I decide to follow to see what is going on"

"You did not think that was a bad idea"

"Well, I was not sure if you knew. Someone had to get the information," I explain

"I already know. As soon, there is a clear exit. You are heading home," he said as grabbed my wrist and dragged me along as he went downstairs.

"But Dark"

"No buts Erin" said Dark

"No, you are going the wrong way," said Erin

"What"

"It is on the third floor"

"What Is?"

"The Eye of the spirit"

He stared at her blankly. "You know the artwork that person is after" I stated

"How would you know that?"

"It was in the warning letter. I was there when they reported on the news. Wait, you said that you knew that"

"I knew someone is up to something"

"Let me guess, as soon someone was using your name. You got all charge up and not listen to the whole report"

"That is not the issue," groaned Dark "Anyway, with that artwork, the person could see you my wing host is. I guess that Daisuke was not entirely right"

"What do you mean?"

"Your grandpa thought that this might be a personal attack on me," he said

"You can't be serious"

"It was only a possibility. Besides, with the information you just gave me, it looks like this person just want to see who my tamer is"

"I suspect that would be the case. That way, I heading towards it"

"Where is it?" asked Dark

"The first hallway, up in the third floor"

"Alright, I will take care of this," said Dark. Then, he gentle push me toward the lower level "Meanwhile, you find a way out of here and head back to the house"

"Wait, I want answers to what is going on," I said

"This no time to be stubborn, Erin"

"I am not being stubborn" I said "Beside if I am not completely out, when you and the hooded person get into a fight. I would be caught by the police"

"Fine" he sighed "But you have to listen to me. If I tell you to run, hide, or stay put. You going to do that, right"

"I promise," I said, knowing that was the only way we could press forward

They found the artwork. It was sit there in the display. No one else was around.

"I guess, that we beat him here," I said

"Yeah, we still need to be careful" Dark replied

The moonlight showed through the glass case. Once it hit the crystal in the center, a ray of light shine on me. Then, this light created an image behind me. It was I as I was in the dreams that I have been having.

I was stunned. Dark put a hand on my shoulder. "Don't be alarmed, Erin. It just you"

"Me?"

"Yes, that is your inner self" he told her

"By using the light reflected inside the crystal. A person inner self is revealed," I repeated to make sure I understood.

"That correct, if the light shined on me, it would show Dwayne. The same thing goes for it was shine on him"

"I wonder how this person knows about the tamers"

"Well, if someone is involved with the artworks. They are bonded to find out everything about them"

Then, he looked at me. I had a worry look on my face. "What is wrong?" he asked

"I have seen myself like that before" I told him "It was in dreams I have been having"

"The one where Krad attack you" he asked

"That and others"

"I see, that is interesting," he said. Then, he muttered to himself, "It is very likely she could be"

I was about to ask him, what he was saying. However, hurried footsteps were coming down that hallway. Dark pull me behind a column. Then, he stood there in front of me.

"You finally show up" he said

"I guess I do not have to look for you. You came here all on your own," said the person

"Of course, don't think that I am going to sit back after you use my name that likes that"

"I guess you know what I am planning"

"Yes" I hear Dark say

"Then, there is no need for us to get in such a fuss" the person replied "If you just let me have a peek that will be it"

"Sorry, I cannot do that. There are people that will affect be this. I don't want to see them get hurt"

"Then, I guess, we have to do this the hard way" hooded figure said. Then, he charged at the display. Dark dove in front of the display. Then, a fight erupted between the two of them.

They exchange punches and kicks. Neither one of them, was giving in. It seems it would go on forever. Until, after Dark deliver a kick. This made the person fly back into the display.

I was watch with anticipation. As the hooded figure rose and walked to the center of the hallway. Then, he extends his arm. As if, he was inviting Dark to attack him again.

It was then; I notice that the display was empty. Apparently, when Dark sent him back, he quickly managed get the scepter out of the case. Now, he was holding it behind his back.

Right next to the person, moonlight streamed through the window. I knew if Dark went on the attack. Surely, he and Dwayne would be exposes. I know Dark would want me to stay where I am. However, if I did not do anything, my family could be in some serious trouble. There was a battle going on inside me in what to do.

Dark started on the approach. I saw hooded figure pulling his arm out from behind him. The battle inside me was over. I made my move. I quickly tackled the hooded person to the ground. The artwork was knocks out of his hand.

There one thing I was not expecting. The hood came off. Revealing, who the person was. It was Noel.
