The Ultimate Quest
The sun set on the small town of Vivec as the children were brought in by their mothers and fathers and the single men and women headed into the town’s tavern to drink the ale that the tavern owner had brewed all that day. There was talk of money, sex, and religion while the children slept comfortably in their beds dreaming of the next day after school in the morning, just at the edge of town a boy no older than 17 stood watching the town through his red eyes. He was slightly tan and five foot eight inches with black hair that covered his left eye. He wore thin roman style sunglasses despite it being dark and he carried his two katanas on his back should he need them he had never thought he would need them but its better to have them and not need them than need them and not have it. He was wearing an entirely black outfit along with a cape to match. “Soon this town will lose its riches yet again,” he said closing his eyes and smiling devilishly. He moved from the outlook of his mansion to his room and sat on the bed; he grabbed the pendant on his dresser and put it around his neck. It sat there comfortably he then took one last look around his house to make sure all was right, he then grabbed his tool set and began getting ready for the busy night ahead of him.
Later that night
Damien started to look at the various houses available at his discretion “hmm I already hit the Porterhouse this week, no not the Montgomery’s, Ah I know I’ll robe the Darling’s” he said. He then jumped from the lookout of his mansion and headed towards the Darlings’ home carefully avoiding the various guards there were scattered around. He made it to their home and crept towards the backdoor. He pulled out his lock picks and started to pick the lock he got through the first and second tumblers easily the last one took a bit more difficulty though he slowly opened the door and took a look around the house. It’s really clean around here. He thought looking at the impeccably clean house he slowly crept upstairs to find Mr. Will Darling and Mrs. Ocean Darling asleep in their giant bed. Cute couple he thought as he looked around the room for the valuables that they might have had but as he looked he noticed they had nothing of great value. That’s odd I always hear them bragging of how rich they are. He thought of that and his eyes widened. Damn it they must have meant emotionally rich, he thought again. Slowly creeping out of their house and headed back to his own when suddenly a guard spotted him from the light sprouting from his well oiled lantern. “You there what are you doing this late at night wandering the town” asked the guard. “Me I’m just taking a walk around the town sir. Is there anything wrong with that?” he questioningly spat at the guard. “Don’t get smart with me boy get back home; before you spend a night in the town cell.” Said the guard as he headed back to his patrol but little did he know Damien held onto his wallet and with a quiet evil laugh; Damien then headed back home. At least I got SOME gold out of this. He thought as he entered his home removing his tools from his side as he sat on his chair for his rest
Early the Next Morning
Damien lay there on the very couch he had rested on exhausted from the night before from breaking into the Darling’s house and narrowly escaping a guard. He lay there half-asleep half-awake and he slowly opened his eyes giving a big yawn as he woke up. He got up walked to his bathroom, brushed his teeth then went down the oak stairs and turned on the gas stove. Putting a pan of grease the stove and then left it there to heat up he then proceeded to grab three eggs from the fridge and slowly started frying them. The grease jumping as the first egg hit the pan and started to cook he proceeded to the second and third egg and then added salt and grabbed some milk that was stored in the fridge as well. He then sat down and hungrily ate it all he then decided to have a shower. So he undressed and hopped in the shower the warm water hitting his muscled body and continuing to fall off he finished his shower thirty minutes after and changed into his usual outfit. He went out to buy some supplies in the town. He was walking into the blacksmith’s shop and stumbled into Mr. Darling. “Oh sorry about that Will.” He said. “It’s quite alright, Damien.” Said Mr. Darling as he smiled Damien gave him a smile back and asked, “How have things been lately Will.” Looking back he replied. “Oh everything has been ok; but I could swear last night someone was in our house. ‘Because I know I locked the back door, but this morning I found it open.” Said Mr. Darling confused. “Wow that’s strange, any idea who it could have been?” Damien had asked. “Nope not a clue but whoever it was; was good.” Mr. Darling replied. “Well I must go I have other things to do.” said Damien even though he thought Mr. Darling a smart man he never quite knew how to handle a situation. So Damien said goodbye to him and continued into the blacksmith, He then started a conversation. “Hey I need you to fix this dagger its getting cracked.” The blacksmith looked up. “This is too damaged; I can’t possibly fix it.” The blacksmith replied. “Fine then give me a good dagger and put it on my tab.” Damien said as he waited for the smith to hand him the weapon. “Here you go then Damien thanks and come again.” Said the blacksmith. “I will be back don’t worry.” Replied Damien as he took the dagger and continued on into the town greeting the locals as they passed. These people are such Idiots how could they not know I’ve been robbing them all thought Damien as he headed back home. He lied on the bed tired of seeing people and rested till nightfall; where he would steal once again.
Later that same night
Damien lay sleeping on his black silk sheets covered by a red silk bedspread. He awoke slowly and glanced around. “Its midnight; time to get to work.” He said as he got up and dressed for his job he peered across the town. “I know tonight I’ll go for the Carabeo home by now everyone must be asleep. They have to be rich.” He crept towards their house careful of the guards and opened their back door. Looking around slowly noticing nothing in the living room. He went upstairs and saw a room in the far left side, going in, he saw a teenage girl no older than 15 with dirty blonde almost brown hair some was straight some was curly she lay there sleeping her T.V set to Inuyasha a popular anime. How sweet is that? He thought and he looked around her room and noticed a blood red orb. Finally something worth stealing. He reached for it when all of a sudden a dagger flew towards his arm stopping him suddenly. He looked over and saw the girl get up she had a normal teenage figure obviously Spanish. “Touch my orb, and die.” She spat. Damien simply smiled. “You can go ahead, try and kill me.” She stuck her tongue at him and he giggled. “Wow that was mature.” Damien replied as he smiled. “Ok so I won’t take your orb; now go back to bed.” Damien said calmly. “No way! You can’t tell me what to do.” Spat the young girl. “Ok look, I don’t even know your name.” Damien said. “My name is Tatiana. But I much rather be called Aya.” She said frowning. “Well then Aya let me do what I came here to do.” Said Damien looking at her as if she was younger. “No way! Why should I? So you can run off with our stuff?” Aya said angrily. “Look, I’ll make you a deal. How about you join me we’ll split everything fifty-fifty? I’m leaving this town tomorrow anyway and going to Oakvale. So how about it?” said Damien “Sure but I get my own room” said Aya “Ok, let us go then.” Damien said, leading Aya back to his home and showing her to her room. He then headed to his own room and fell asleep.
The Next Morning
Damien woke up to Aya snooping around in his room. He quickly got up forgetting that he had slept shirtless the night before. So he then looked at her just looking at him. “What? Is there something wrong?” He asked confused. “No nothing wrong and by the way, you’re hot.” She said giggling and he noticed he had no shirt. He smiled and blushed a bit. “Thank You.” He said putting a shirt on. “Awe your no fun.” Aya cooed Damien simply smiled. “You all packed?” She smiled. “Of course.” Said Aya smirking. Damien grabbed a few last minute things. Then they both headed off to Oakvale. Chatting along the way of various things. “You know for such a thief Damien you’re quite the gentlemen.” Aya said happily. “Hey just ‘cause I rob you blind, doesn’t mean I have to do it rudely.” Damien replied. They had almost reached Oakvale; when they noticed a young girl playing along the side of the road. Upon having a closer look they both noticed that the girl was not a girl but a neko. They went up to her with questions. “Hello what’s your name?” Asked Damien. The girl tilted her head to the side and jumped. “My name is Kitty.” After a while of chatting. Kitty ended up joining them. “Let’s see a thief a princess and a neko. We have quite the party.” Remarked Damien, the two girls just glared at him and smiled slightly when they arrived at Oakvale. Damien purchased a home at the edge of town and a few hours later, they were unpacked and each in their own rooms
Later That Day
Damien awoke with a big stretch after the rest he had and looked around he saw Kitty still sleeping flapping her paws in the air. How adorably cute that is. He thought as he looked around and saw Aya sleeping as well. Smiling he thought to himself quietly. Someone’s happy. He decided to look around the town, also deciding he needed a shower. So he walked into the bathroom and took his shirt off slowly yawning here and there. He took his boxers off and hopped into the shower and turned the warm water on feeling it hit his chest and stream down his legs and into the drain. Showers always relaxed him; but he had things to do so he finished and got out, and dried off and changed and started to walk towards the towns market. He later arrived at the market and noticed a sign that said, “Missing Please Report If Seen” in big black letters, along the top and it had a picture of Aya in the middle, and at the bottom it was printed in bright red letters “Princess Tatiana Jewels Carabeo” Jewels? What an odd middle name thought Damien looking at the poster, so he decided to walk back home to talk to Aya and get her opinion. He arrived home an hour later after stopping here and there for a few supplies. He opened the door and saw Aya and Kitty chatting at the table sipping drinks he smiled. “Hey I have a question.” He asked interrupting them “Yeah Damien?” Said Aya looking at him Damien then explained what he saw and Ayas’ eyes widened and she blurted out. “THERES NO WAY IN HELL I’M GOING BACK!” Damien chuckled and he said. “I never said you were but if you want to stay we have to disguise you. So try these clothes on.” Aya grabbed the clothes and tried them on upstairs and walked downstairs she was wearing a black shirt with a hood. She had chosen to put the hood up it didn’t surprise Damien at all. She had black pants underneath that that were comfortable yet tight. Perfect for the profession they were in and she had black shoes. “It suits you.” Said Damien. “No it doesn’t. There’s something missing.” Argued Aya. “Oh really? And what’s that?” Asked Damien. “Simple; these.” Aya responded as she pulled out a pair of finger less gloves and put them on but Damien simply smiled. “Well tonight we’re going rob someone of great wealth. Her name is Akasha. She is about my age with red hair and red eyes you guys game?” They all nodded and then Damien added. “Well if were going do this we need to rest so off to bed you two go.” They argued but in the end agreed and went off to bed.
That Night
Damien, Aya and Kitty all woke up at the same time that night. Getting ready to rob the house, which Princess Akasha lived in. They eagerly got their tools together and smiled at the stuff they would steal, as Damien explained the plan to them. “Ok there’s three floors Akasha sleeps at the top and that’s where I’ll be. That’s where most of the valuables are anyway now you Kitty will get the first floor there’s less stuff but less chance of being seen. Aya you get the middle floor. Any questions?” He asked they both shook their heads no. “Well then lets go!” Said Damien as he turned around to leave. They headed towards the house, a giant plot of land, which at the end sat a house embroidered in gold and silver. It simply shouted royalty so they all prepared to enter in there own areas Kitty spread her claws and picked the backdoors lock while Aya climbed up the side to the second story and Damien attached a claw and climbed up to the third floor. Once there Damien took a look around allowing his pupils to dilate; so he could see and he turned on a dim light. Looking to the bed to see the most beautiful woman he had ever seen she had long red hair with red eyes like his and an equally beautiful body he shook his head and thought lets do what we came here for. He looked around and grabbed a few things when suddenly Akasha awoke. She looked at Damien but didn’t scream she simply kissed him and smiled. “Your cute.” Damien blushed slightly and asked her if she wanted to join him. She agreed so they went back down, and waited for Aya and Kitty to emerge. After waiting for five minutes, they came out with giant sacks twice their size. They saw Damien and Akasha making out and just glared Damien. Looking at them after. “What? She’s beautiful, single, and I have always had a crush on her.” Then Kitty said, “Oh yeah, then why are we robbing her?” Damien chuckled. “I needed some excuse to get you both to come along. They simply glared at him and he smiled, holding Akasha close they made it back home. “We’ll sell these things at the market tomorrow for a nice profit. Now lets go to bed.” Damien said. Akasha smiled and followed him to the bedroom. Kitty and Aya just sneered and went to their rooms.
The Next Morning
Damien woke up to a smiling Akasha and he smiled back kissing her deeply and getting up and taking a quick shower. She did the same and they went downstairs to check on Aya and Kitty; who were talking together again. Damien simply made breakfast. He made toast and eggs for the group and they all ate it hungrily. They were all conversing casually; when suddenly there was a knock at the door. Damien opened it and there stood a girl no taller than five foot four inches with dark red hair and green eyes. She was wearing peasant clothes and had obviously not had the best life. She was obviously fifteen she asked to come in and Damien said it was ok with him and the girls agreed. The girl said her name was Sara Lynn, she explained that where she was from that someone was watching Damien and was planning against him. So she ran away to warn him and join him. “Wow that’s a lot to believe in one sitting. But I’ll buy it, you can go ahead and join us we have plenty of room and could always use another member.” Sara simply smiled and got up and found herself a room and got acquainted. Later that day, they headed towards the thieves market to trade what they had stolen from the Akasha estate the night before. They walked out with weapons and tools and a bunch of gold lining their pockets and when they got home they relaxed.
The Next Day
Damien was walking around the town of Oakvale and he bumped into a man that stood at five foot nine inches tall. He wearing leather clothes from top to bottom; but what disturbed Damien was what was on this mysterious mans arm. He bared the mark of the thief across his arm and to make matters worse the man saw Damien’s mark on his arm as well. But Damien made sure to keep an eye on him when suddenly the man pinned Damien to the wall. They had a little chat the man introduced himself as Tonake. They spoke of joining forces and plundering the town and they both went back to Damien’s home, soon after closing the door he was already flirting with kitty as if I didn’t see that coming. Thought Damien as he went to his room and sat there for a couple hours. With Akasha just talking, he went back downstairs and saw both Tonake and Kitty making out. “Oh my god get a room!” Said Damien. “At least me and Akasha did Jesus!” They all just started laughing and they discussed plans of going to Althea City the next day.
A Few Hours Later
“But, Althea is practically abandoned.” Said Kitty. “That’s exactly why we should go. It’s small but everyone there is loaded.” Kitty just sat back and relaxed. “So then everyone agrees. We go to Althea; tomorrow morning right?” Damien questioned, looking at everyone’s faces at the table. They nodded smiling at the huge payday that would come then next night in Althea. “I’m just… tired of moving around so much.” Remarked Aya. “I mean why are we always switching towns and cities? Always running cant we just stay in one place?” She added. “No, we can’t Aya. You’ll just have to deal with it for now. But Althea is a city not a town its HUGE. We aren’t leaving after this one; but there have been reports of a guild of thieves. There might be a chance for a war.” said Damien “FINALLY A BATTLE!” said Tonake smiling Damien simply laughed and said, “Fine, so its settled. We leave for Althea tomorrow morning, let’s start packing.” They all packed during the night and set out at noon.
That Night
“FINALLY! We’re here!” Said Aya dropping her bags at the luxurious hotel room where they were staying. In it had cranberry red wallpaper, with nice gold lace prints on it. It was truly beautiful. They unpacked and got accommodated rather quickly “lets check this place out” said Damien and they all went to check different places Damien and Akasha went to the local pool for a nice swim while Tonake and Kitty headed to the Hotels theater to watch a romantic movie and Aya headed alone to the bar for a white Russian straight up she sat down and ordered the drink. At that same time Damien was holding Akasha at the waist in the pool and smiling while they conversed. While Kitty and Tonake were watching the movie and enjoying the popcorn when suddenly a man sat next to Aya and ordered a screwball and turned to her he had dark black hair and was wearing a blue shirt and white shorts and had bandages on his arms and legs Aya looked at the bandages and asked “are you hurt” the man quickly replied “no I’m a fighter in this weeks arena competition” he said he looked at Aya and smiled she looked into his eyes they were red with black dots around them that looked like fireballs and she noticed what appeared to be a tattoo that matched his eyes and she asked him about it but he simply said “it’s a curse given to me by an enemy” she was blushing like crazy but hadn’t noticed and she asked his name and he simply said “Sasuke Uchiha” she liked the way he said his name and smiled saying “I’m Aya nice to know you” they talked a bit longer and then Sasuke went back to his room and Aya sat there thinking of him. Meanwhile Damien and Akasha were drying off and heading to the room and they bumped into Kitty and Tonake coming back from the theatre “how was the movie you two?” asked Damien they simply smiled and said “good how was the pool?” “It was really fun,” said Damien. Just then Aya arrived “how was the bar” “it was fun I met a really hot guy” she said blushing they all just giggled and teased her about it as they went inside the room to rest.
The Next Morning
They were all sitting there talking about the fun they had the other night when Aya walked downstairs holding her head “god my head is pounding feels like I got hit by a train” she said as she walked towards the table “well you shouldn’t have drunk so much alcohol” said Damien the others nodding in agreement “oh shut it ok I had a few drinks so sue me” said Aya angrily “no need to bite our head off damn; oh and hey what was the name of that guy you met cause he kind of came looking for you.” Aya’s eyes widened as the last words left Damien’s lips she quickly got up and grabbed Damien’s collar and yelled, “WHERE IS HE!” Damien simply smiled and said “the same place you met him; the bar” she heard this and quickly ran there and the rest of them just laughed wildly they stayed there conversing the rest of the day and decided the apartment they were going to steal from when Aya walked in looking ragged they looked at her and all asked in unison “WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!” Aya giggled and said “Sasuke is a GOOD kisser” she smiled and giggled and blushed falling down on her chair and they all laughed and decided to rest before they raided the apartment.
That Night
They all awoke ready to raid the apartment they decided on number two hundred and eight so they got dressed and got their equipment in order and nodded to each other they opened their apartment door and headed to room two hundred and four and they slowly checked the area to make sure no one was coming and they opened the door to the apartment looking around they saw the most beautiful place they could ever see it looked as if it was the royal palace in Babylon it was beautiful it had riches the likes of which they had never seen before jackpot thought Damien smiling menacingly when suddenly a shadow moved they all quickly prepared for what it could have been then it stepped into the light and they saw who it was “Sasuke” said Aya she blushed and looked at him and he smiled back and glared at Damien and he gave him the same look back “what are you doing” they explained the story and Aya looked at Sasuke embarrassed about her job “its ok Aya I don’t care if you’re a thief I love you” said Sasuke Aya simply blushed and giggled while the others said “awe” in unison she just smiled and kissed Sasuke and Sasuke gave them some gold for their trouble and decided to join them “could be more fun than being a fighter” was what he said they all just went to the apartment two princesses, a Neko a two thieves, a peasant and a fighter what an interesting group we have thought Damien.
The Next Morning
Damien was the last to awaken from last night, they had all slept in the living room but now all of them were in the kitchen chatting and smiling and giggling it was as if they had been arranged as well Aya next to Sasuke, Tonake next to Kitty, and Akasha alone with an empty seat next to her where he’d be sitting he smiled and sat beside her resting his head on her lap as she ran her hand through his black hair he smiled and listened to their conversations and then Sasuke interrupted “um how long have you guys been here” he asked “well when you met Aya it was our first day here so you do the math” said Damien “well that’s weird because there were rumors of a guild of thieves being here. I guess this means you have competition Damien” said Sasuke giving a smug grin at Damien “guess your right Sasuke but we’ll find them and eliminate them” said Damien still laying on Akasha’s lap admiring the smell of her perfume “but I don’t want to fight” said Kitty “its really useless because cant we just get along” she added “no way” said Damien “they could ruin us” added Damien “well then why not get them now” said Sasuke “I DO know where they are after all I fought one of their members and the idiot led me to the rest of them” “so where are they Sasuke?” asked Damien he then told them that they hid below the hotel and there was a secret passage way underneath the elevator shaft leading to their base they decided to attack that night and they began preparing for the great battle.
That Night
They had prepared for the battle that entire day and now they were ready. They packed their things and went to the elevator shaft which Sasuke had told them that held the secret entrance to the base they opened it and below was a guard “Let me do this” said Akasha as she hung upside down and snapped the guards neck and flipping down from the shaft and gave the signal that it was ok to continue, then came a long hallway with three guards blocking the only door in or out “this ones mine” said Kitty as she hopped down “Hey YOU FREEZE” said the guards holding up their automatic rifles Kitty simply hissed and sped towards them they opened fire and Kitty saw it she quickly jumped towards the left wall and then jumped back to the floor she had moved so quick the guards only saw a blur before she scratched their throats open. She purred licking the blood off her claws, then came a room filled with men Damien had counted twenty or more Tonake simply walked through them and clapped his hands together and placed them on the floor and a shadow had engulfed the floor Damien looked back towards the guards and they were enveloped in the dark mist and were dragged below, they opened the doors and went to the next room Damien looked and saw only two lights illuminating a room filled with ten men he grabbed his pistols and dived through the doors quickly shooting the lights out he let his pupils dilate and heard the fast paced breathing of the men in the room he unsheathed his swords and then suddenly ten thuds were heard Tonake came through holding an orb of light which lit the room like a sun in his hands, they all looked and saw the ten guards with their intestines outside their body they kept moving and noticed another hall way with four men lined up but this hall way was very far from them so Kitty couldn’t make it Damien didn’t have a weapon that could shoot that far and Tonake was exhausted from the last shadow conjuring so it was up to Aya she reached into her pocket and grabbed four daggers smiled and walked through the door she threw all four daggers in quick succession and hit all four targets in the head. There was only one door left they reached and opened the door and what they saw shocked them. The room was totally empty they looked and saw no trace of any clan all they found was an empty desk and a computer Damien quickly looked to the computer and saw a timer that read twenty minutes and it slowly counted down “OH MY GOD LETS GET OUT OF HERE” screamed Damien they ran through all the rooms and ran as fast as they could they jumped through the hatch and shut it hearing a huge boom as it shut.
Later That Day
Damien opened the door to the apartment, and went in and fell down on the couch with his hand covering his face, and he simply sighed it was silent for five minutes before Aya had broken it “THAT was messed up we almost got killed for nothing” she said; angry that they had not found the source of the thieves. Damien looked at her, and said “it does not matter what happened what matters is what did not, we did not die, we all got back here in one piece, and we did not come back failures, we DID defeat them because they have no base” he smiled while everyone voiced their own opinions but he wasn’t paying attention to them he was paying attention to Tonake who had barely spoken since they met but he decided to forget that and just relax with Akasha at his side he went to the fridge, and grabbed a bottle of champagne, and brought it to the chair with a glass for each of them and said “for defeating our enemies and for all the loot we have stolen cheers” he popped the cork on the champagne bottle and poured them they talked of their lives before they met and of their family and relaxed all that day.
That Night
Damien couldn’t sleep he just couldn’t stop thinking of what had happened before so he got up and walked to the kitchen to discover that everyone had been downstairs talking quietly including Akasha she seemed the most awake “I guess no one could sleep huh” they all laughed and nodded and they spoke of their concerns about what happened those short hours ago and after chatting till at least three in the morning they set off to bed to go to sleep and enjoy their nights in the beds of their beloveds.
The Next Night
Damien quickly closed the door behind him and everyone looked at him as if he had just murdered the king and queen of England, he simply smiled and walked towards the table they were sitting at and placed his hands down “I just learned about the best costume party that’s going on tonight in THIS hotel” He said with a grin looking at all their faces they were all smiling except for Tonake but that didn’t surprise anyone at all “well are we going or not” said Aya a slight glow in her eyes “Yes we are so choose your costumes now” said Damien watching as they zoomed off into their rooms to find what to wear. He simply held his beloved Akasha’s hand and walked towards their room he kept his current outfit but decided to accessorize it, he put on a mask to cover his eyes. It had a slight white glow that covered his eyes he then found a set of matching wings that would attach to his head and two pitchforks he put one set of wings on and handed the other to Akasha they were cute wearing matching outfits he also found two scarves and added them for style he stepped out and waited for the others to finish the first that was done was Aya she stepped out wearing a white gown and a tiara with matching heels she smiled and Damien simply said “Cute a princess in a gown” she smiled with a bit of a giggle as Sasuke walked out wearing a tuxedo and matching top hat he still wore his hand and foot wraps which added his own style then came Tonake wearing a long trench coat that covered his mouth with a hat that was pulled down so they could not see his eyes and behind him came Kitty wearing a new collar and a bell on her tail that when she wagged it would release a scent in the air similar to that of a budding rose they all smiled at each other and headed to the party.
Later That Night
They arrived at the party walking down the stairs to the dance floor and they looked around the room it was embroidered with gold along the walls and there was a chandelier hanging in the middle with candles along the wall to aid in lighting and in the middle was a stone sculpture of a couple dancing, they began to dance and enjoy themselves and laugh at each other’s silly dance moves when suddenly a slow song came on and it was time to get closer luckily they were all a couple so it wasn’t awkward at all they all got with their lovers and began to dance and then Damien looked to the group and for the first time since he met him Tonake seemed to be smiling as he looked into Kitty’s eyes this made Damien simply smile and keep going after a few hours of dancing they all sat down to rest and Damien got up to get him and Akasha some punch when Sasuke grabbed his shoulder and said “If your getting punch I got it” he grinned and walked over to the punch bowl Damien simply sat there thinking so much for spiking the punch he grinned and held Akasha’s hand smiling as she layed head down on his shoulder Sasuke then came back to the table with the punch and they told stories of their past adventures then Damien held his glass up and said “to dodging bullets” they simply laughed and repeated tapping their glasses together after a few hours they went back home and rested.
The Next Morning
They were all crowded around the table that morning swapping stories from their experiences of the night before, but something disturbed Damien, and that was Sasuke he had looked as if something was bothering him since the night before little did Damien know that a man that was wearing a black hood that was obscuring his face had talked to Sasuke and offered him ultimate power if he joined him and Sasuke had told the man that he would think about it but just then Damien said “hey guys since were pretty much done today lets get the day off me and Akasha are going stay here today but you guys can do what you please” they all smiled and planned their days Kitty and Tonake decided to go to the pool to relax themselves while Aya decided to go to the bar and Sasuke decided to hit the slots and they all left to enjoy themselves, but just when Sasuke was entering the casino the hooded man grabbed him again and asked him if he had made a decision Sasuke simply smiled and the man said “ok then your first assignment is to kill Aya” Sasuke looked at him and said “I have a better idea I’ll kill you” he quickly grabbed a kunai from his pocket and slit the mans throat letting his body fall to the floor and lose all the blood it had he then went to the bar to join Aya and they both went to the hotel room and found everyone talking when Damien asked “how’d it go for you both?’ “good” said Sasuke Damien noticed he did not have the same look of worry as he did mere hours ago but this made Damien smile and they all went back to swapping stories.
That Night
Sasuke came running into the room “Aya’s been taken” he said with a look of fear upon his face. Damien quickly got up and lifted Sasuke off his feet by his collar “WHERE IS SHE?!” He yelled looking as if he were about to run a blade through him backwards Sasuke shook and said “I don’t know they just grabbed her and took her away” “WHOSE THEY?!” asked Damien “The Old Guild of thieves” said Sasuke Damien slammed him into the wall and said “you were supposed to keep her safe you ******** up YOU fix it and don’t come home until you do” he threw him at the door and kicked him out Sasuke fell to the ground and cried while whispering “I’m sorry Aya.”
Later That Night
Sasuke had knocked on the door to the room and Damien answered “have you found my sister yet?” Sasuke simply looked down and before he could even finish saying “no” the door shut in his face he quickly knocked again and said “I need help I know where she is get the others” Damien smiled “what others they’re all asleep its just us too; so where’s my sister” “she’s in room six hundred and sixty six” he replied. Damien smiled and said “very nice number now what’s holding her there?” “a chair and some steel chains” replied Sasuke dully as they were walking to the room it turned out Aya had been kidnapped by a remaining guild member they were standing in front of the room and there stood Aya perfectly safe with a dead man beside her “what happened?” asked Damien “well I picked the lock and killed him with my Kunai” replied Aya a look of shock befell Damien “so then why haven’t you left” he asked “because he swallowed the keys and couldn’t break the door” after hearing this Sasuke fainted and Aya and Damien began laughing the way back to the apartment and when they opened the door everyone had immediately began asking questions as to what happened.
The Next Morning
Everyone was still asking Damien, Aya, and Sasuke what happened they all smiled and answered their questions in a formal way. Just then Damien went to the bathroom he noticed the Nightmare Headband he had worn to the costume ball lying on the floor he smiled picked it up and put it away, then he went to the bathroom to wash his face he did so and looked in the mirror only to open his eyes in shock during the night he grew horns on the top of his head he examined them closely they were small in height but reasonably thick he had no grudge against theme he was simply surprised that no one said anything so he went back to the kitchen and looked at everyone while pointing at his horns “Hasn’t anyone noticed these?!” everyone nodded and said in unison “we thought you knew.” Damien simply put a emotionless face and waved his hand to signal the topic was over in discussion he was heading back to his room when someone knocked on the door he opened it to see a girl no older than sixteen standing there in a dark gown with jet black hair that was let down with tan skin and red eyes that matched Damien’s. Damien’s eyes widened with shock as he examined this girl closer he noticed a mark that he knew only one person in this world could have his eyes began to water imagining if this were humanly possible he looked at this girl and said “Theresa?” The girl looked up at him and smiled “hello big brother” she said and had tears welling up in her eyes she suddenly dived and hugged Damien tightly Damien was crying “Theresa I thought you were died when the house caught on fire I heard your scream and I assumed the worst.” He looked into her eyes and she began to explain, “I almost did die, I was on the floor and I could barely breath but there was a small opening that I went through it led to a tunnel that led to a lake I fell in tat lake that was the scream you heard I was searching for you all these years and by pure chance you end up here with me.” Damien Smiled and dried his eyes and hugged his sister tightly and looked at the rest of the group “Guys I want you to meet my sister.” The whole group came up and smiled introducing themselves Damien gave Theresa a room in the suite and they sat in there talking till nightfall.
That Night
Damien layed in his room thinking of everything he had learned about his sister in the past few hours, it was late now, and she was sleeping, so he was reflecting on what he learned. He had learned that Theresa had taken Martial Arts classes since they were separated and was a twelfth degree black belt in each of the martial arts she took they included Kung-Fu, Tae Kwon Doe, and Jujitsu he was surprised when they had sparred he had won but she was very skilled, she had also learned a variety of weapon techniques as well, it was hard to see Theresa the way he remembered her when he was eleven. Damien still remembered what had happened that night so many years ago as though it were yesterday. Their mom had left the stove on and a rag near the fire, the fire caught unto the rag and spread wildly and then soon the whole house was engulfed in flames Mom died in the blaze and their father had begged Damien to kill him in order to end the pain he was suffering after the fire, and he had assumed Theresa died as well but now he knew differently Theresa had agreed to join them in their quests and journeys and with this new found Joy Damien had gotten hungry for gold be he decided he needed to rest so he slid unto his side and closed his eyes fading into the world he controlled completely the world known as his dreams.
