The envelope reads 'Shimon' I guess I should have known really, I and Dominique were silent most if not all of the way.
"Kid, you okay?" He asked me.
"No…"
"There is a reason I got you, let's deliver this first," Dominique said.
This day couldn't get any better truthfully, I barely knew the layout of this huge place that looked like a warehouse. Nothing looked nice, everything was splotched walls and paint peeling.
Black paint speckled the halls messily, Dominique slips the letter from my hands knocking on the door. It opens slightly to be pushed through the crack. Nothing was said in the exchange, he took my hand and we walked the other way.
Guiding me through the maze we come to a dead-end, the door has been painted over so badly even the doorknob was stuck. Dominique had to take his foot hitting on the panel to jostle it open utilizing all his strength.
"I brought her here just for you Runt," Dominique explains.
"Dominique you cared enough…"
"Chara still slept soundlessly no matter where she was brought...I had permission to bring her here." Dominique states.
"Thank you so much!"
"I will get the vials for Reid, you can stay with her a little bit at least before returning to duties." He mentions.
He leaves me alone with Chara who is in deep sleep. I could feel a heavy aura hanging over her that I didn't feel before when she first fell into this coma. Gavyn appears from above jumping to the ground below beside me.
"You need to give up on her already." Gavyn comments.
"I can't…"
Intertwining my fingers in between hers I straighten her hair with my other hand in hopes she realizes someone still cares for her. I assume right away she is lost inside her own mind since she is internal and can not die.
"So you are the one who wanted the body removed from Saniya's house." The voice said.
"Oh…it's you, Master Shimon. This is my partner…" I explained.
"I see...you can use this room instead of the basement if you wish to take care of her." He answers kindly.
"Thank you…"
"Why didn't you tell me before about this?" He asks.
"I kind of forgot."
"Or maybe you are scared of me?" Shimon said.
"That too I guess, you had me slaughter Saniya…" I state.
"She served her purpose as you will for me."
"I am your Igor…" I replied.
"Exactly…nothing more, I heard this lass was a witch before she got gripped with sleeping beauty syndrome. When she wakes, bring her to me." He smiles.
"Understood…"
"If you are good to me and Reid then I will reward you." He promised.
"Will she ever wake up Master Shimon?" I ask.
"I will send someone to take a look at her, Igor okay?" He responds.
"Where are the others? Where is my true master?" I shout.
He slams his fist into my face causing my nose to run, Shimon's face contorted with rage. I was not shocked with this new master, he was willing to let me die at any of these lackey's hands if the time comes.
"Only I am your master!"
Gripping my wrists, we exit Chara's room to be dragged to another dead end where he kicks the divider leading down, the steps were slippery being guided to where I learned Alex has been pinned up and restrained.
Each hand is tied, each leg bound and my master caught in the suspension of consciousness. His guardian protected him with all her might. Her eyes opened once more to my existence, fear once again drained from her body in my presence.
I was embarrassed for my master, humiliating him. I could see his clothing in a shredded pile behind him, but I am certain because they are not able to do much to him. This is the best they could do till they figure out how to take her from him.
"Why did you take his clothing?" I argue.
"He is fine this way, do you want to join him?" He threatens.
"No…understood Master Shimon…"
"I expect you to do your duties and behave, you have no other roles from me, unlike your old master…"
"Hey is the brat in here?" Dominique yells.
"I am teaching him a lesson, why?" Shimon explains.
"We have things to do!" Dominique shouts.
"No more mess-ups Igor!" Shimon scolds.
I was released from the room to go with Dominique, he looked at me holding my face severely disheartened from the experience.
"I actually lied, but I knew you weren't going to be okay with seeing that," Dominique said.
"Hey, bastard!" Gavy shrieks.
Popping up from the floor he scares Dominique who ends up hopping on one foot, I catch him by his shirt before he could tumble.
"G-Gavyn!" He shouts.
"I am here for good Dominique, do you have anything to say to me?" He laughs.
"Yeah, like get the hell out of here!" Dominique argues.
"I scared you, just admit it." Gavyn snickers wildly.
"What do you want?" Dominique howls.
His screams could be heard loud enough to be heard down the passageway, you could see he was alarmed taking it out on Gavyn with anger.
"I want to know why you killed me…" He requests.
"We're done here, Christian go back to your room!" Dominique roars at me.
He storms off leaving us both behind, we stroll back to the new room given to us by Shimon. A rolled sleeping bag is laid by the door with a pillow stacked on top. I pick them both up by opening the door first before placing my bedding inside.
I unroll my sleeping sack beside Chara, it was much more decent than the floor they wanted me to rest in. Tucking Chara in, I laugh a little to myself.
"Looks like Dominique saved me from a painful sleep," I mutter.
Gawking down at her I know she can't say anything, but I am sure she would have put up some sort of fight right? Sprawled out on the floor on all fours I look up at the ceiling wondering how will I be able to escape.
