"Damn it!!!" Yuu yelled in anger as she stared down the hole Kamio fell down. She punched the ground.
Ast dragged Kamio behind him by chain. "How much longer until we get to, Lady Ragi." Ast asked.
"Shut up and just drag the boy." The man with grey hair told him.
They came upon a giant solid black door. "Here we are." The grey-haired man said.
"Finally," Ast said, relieved.
"What's with that attitude?!" The man with black hair said.
"I'm just happy to be back to the base. I don't like keeping watch." Ast told them.
The door opened and they walked in. They went through many hallways until they reached a big open room. "Lady Ragi, we have returned." The man with grey hair said.
A woman dressed in a Solid black cloak stood in the center of the room with her back to them. "We have a prisoner!" Ast told her.
"A prisoner?" Ragi asked.
Ragi turned towards them. A breeze blew through the room, blowing her long, deep red, hair around. "This boy, he's on one of the posters?" She asked.
"Yes, his name is Kamio, and his worth is a total of 1700." The man with grey hair told her.
"Thank you all." Ragi began, "So, who caught him?"
"Ast did." The man with black hair spoke.
"So, you get the reward, Ast?"
"Y-y-yes ma'am!" Ast said, nervous.
"You two, leave." She said.
"Yes ma'am." They said in unison.
They walked out the door they came in through, leaving Kamio against the wall. Ragi walked up to Ast. Ragi put one of her hands into her pocket. "What do you desire for your reward?" Ragi asked.
Ast walked forward. Now they are directly in front of each other. "My reward?" Ast asked.
Ragi pulled her hand out of her pocket, closed. "Yes, your reward. I have an idea of what it could be." Ragi said.
"Really? What did you have in mind?" Ast asked her.
She leaned up next to his ear, "How about you … die?" Ast's eyes widened.
"I-I-I'm sorry, I must have misheard you. Could you repeat that?" Ast asked her.
Ragi leaned away from his ear. She raised her closed hand. "I said you should die!" Ragi yelled.
She revealed a small, blood-covered, knife in her hand and stabbed Ast in the chest. She pushed Ast to the ground, the knife still in his chest. She then pulled the knife out of his chest. "Nothing. Looks like another failure." Ragi began.
"I'll need to ask the master for more servants, he'll surely be upset."
She looked over to Kamio. "Maybe the blood will turn you into one," Ragi said.
She walked to Kamio and stared at him. "I'll need to get more blood from the master."
Ragi looked down at the knife, "There might be enough blood left in here."
Ragi raised her hand with the knife and brought it down to stab Kamio, until a loud explosion was heard and shook the room.
"What the-" Ragi yelled.
"Fine then I'll just get another test subject," Ragi said as she walked to the back wall and opened a secret entrance. She went in and closed it behind her.
The door to the room was kicked open. Yuu walked into the room. "Kamio! Are you in here?" Yuu yelled out.
She looked over to see Kamio leaning against the wall, unconscious.
