Alastor made his way to the city. It was dark and damp, due to the rain having just ceased. He was glad for that. Rain never brought good things for him. Although he was afraid he may slip on the pavement if he didn't slow down.

He quickly crossed the street into an alleyway and took a few breathes.

"You know,I'm quite impressed you were able to escape Poe." A voice spoke from deeper inside the alley. It was laced with anger and annoyance.

Alastor froze in fear as he felt an arm wrap around his shoulder, pressing the cold tip of a knife to his throat. He didn't dare move.

"Y'know, I actually thought you'd be a good asset to the Guild," He sighed, "Of course I was wrong."

"L-Lord Fitzgerald...I didn't-" Alastors voice shook. Not many things truly frightened him, but Francis Fitzgerald did.

"Ah-ah. No talking or you might have to die in this disgusting alleyway," His voice was dark.

Alastor nodded and didn't open his mouth back up. He was hardly breathing, afraid of what might happen if he took to deep of a breath.

The walls of the alley seemed to be closing in on him. Crushing him into a small, helpless ball of fear. He wanted to run away or to fight, yet it was no use. Francis would crush him in a second.

"Now, how about you come back to the Moby Dick with me so we can have a proper little chat? Hmm? How does that sound? You can answer with words this time, Zero."

The white haired man held back a tear and nodded, "Yes sir. It sounds good, sir," It was no use. There was no way he could escape Fitzgerald, no way he could escape the Guild. His little spark of hope was gone.

The blonde man grabbed Zeros wrist and led him down the cold, wet street. He would most likely be tortured then imprisoned on the Moby Dick. If Fitzgerald was feeling kind enough, he may just kill him right then and there. That's what he hoped would happen at least. Just a quick and painless death to get it all over with.

Lucy Montgomery glanced through the small window of Zeros tiny cell. He sat in the far right corner, hugged his knees close to his chest and staring at the metal floor. He looked miserable.

Lucy and Zero had once been friends before an argument broke out and they distanced themselves from each other. The argument was something silly and childish yet it severed their friendship nonetheless.

"You're a fool, Alastor," Lucy sighed as she studied him.

Zero glanced up at the small window, "Hello, Lucy." Even after the argument he had to grudge against Lucy. He still wanted to protect her and have her be happy, but she didn't feel the same.

"You shouldn't have betrayed the Guild. You knew what would happen. Lord Fitzgerald finds out everything," Lucy crossed her arms.

Zero let out a soft and painful laugh,"I know. It was dumb. "

"Yeah. It was. You dumbass," Lucy looked to the ground and made her way down the hall.

Zeros eyes widened as he saw what Lucy had slipped under the door, a key. He stood up and grabbed it. It was a dark brown key that he could easily manipulate using his telekinetic powers.

"Curiosity," he said softly and used his ability to slip the key back under the door and into the keyhole outside. The door unlocked with a click.

He gently pushed it open and ran down the hallway. The alarm sounded as he tried to search for an exit. Soon enough there was one calling his name.

Zero opened it and saw the drop, it was so high up he could hardly see the ground. It was a one way trip.

He jumped.
