"Excuse me... Miss?" (Y/n) said, walking up to a lady that worked at the pharmacy Jyugo and (Y/n) entered. Trois decided to stay in the car to wait for them and look out for any trouble that might come their way. 

"Yes?" She said, turning to them. 

"I need medicine to help my friend. She is having shortness of breath, feels really sick, and also currently has a fever above 100..." (Y/n) said. "I think she somehow got Cyanide in her system."

"Look for amyl nitrite, sodium nitrite, and sodium thiosulfate down that aisle right there. Have her inhale it for 15 to 30 seconds. But I recommend getting her to a hospital afterward. That will only hold her off for 30 minutes," She said. 

"Thank you!" (Y/n) said, smiling at her as Jyugo and (Y/n) walked down the aisle she pointed to. 

"I'm surprised she didn't ask how," Jyugo mumbled. 

"Everyone in this city is reserved. If something doesn't;t involve them, they don't want to be involved. They want any trouble, and if something seems like trouble, they will stay clear of it," (Y/n) said, looking at the medicines down the aisle. "Here it is!" (Y/n) grabbed a bottle. 

"Now the other two," Jyugo mumbled. Jyugo looked around a little, not leaving (Y/n)'s side. He saw the entrance open once again. "Hurry up, Akira might get worst," Jyugo said, looking back at (Y/n). 

"I'm trying~" (Y/n) mumbled. 

"Specimen number 15 and 0964," They heard a voice say. (Y/n) completely ignored it, not knowing someone was talking to them. Jyugo looked to see Elf standing at one end of the aisle. 

"(Y/n)! We have to go!" Jyugo said. 

"No! I haven't got the meds yet-" (Y/n) was cut off by a knife flying past her head and cutting her cheek. Her eyes widened, and she looked to see the blond man as he pulled out another knife. 

"Come on!" Jyugo yelled, grabbing her wrist and running down the other side of the aisle. They both hid in the next aisle over. (Y/n) covered her mouth in order to quiet her breathing. 

She was terrified. She had no idea who this man was or what he wanted, even how he was connected to her and Jyugo. What does he mean by Specimen... Jyugo seems to know him somehow... But (Y/n) thought as she looked at Jyugo. 

"We need to leave," Jyugo whispered. 

Yeah! Obviously! (Y/n) thought as she looked at the exit. She then heard something in front of her. She looked in front of her to see the same man. His knife now pressed against her neck, drawing a little bit of blood. 

"Specimen 0964, you will be coming with me," He said, smiling at her. (Y/n)'s eyes started to tear up. 

Jyugo then shoved Elf off (Y/n), grabbed (Y/n)'s hand, and pulled her to the next aisle. "We need the meds before we leave... Our Akira will die" (Y/n) said, looking at Jyugo. 

"We don't have time!" Jyugo said, pulling (Y/n) towards the exit. 

"No! I have to get the meds!" (Y/n) said, pulling away from Jyugo. As she did, Jyugo's eyes widen as (Y/n) stumbled back a little from the force to only bump into something. She knew there wasn't a shelf behind her seconds ago. She slowly looked up to see Elf standing there smirking down at her. 

(Y/n) quickly backed away. "You have grown a lot since we last you... You go by (Y/n), don't you Specimen 0964? Well, you are quite the beauty now... And it looks like the experiments we did on you worked perfectly. You are much smarter than the average human~" He said. "My name is Elf. And I was hoping you to come with me peacefully, But that's no fun now, is it? Kat is awfully worried about you. Not only that, but your business with us is not over just yet~."

Tears started to stream down (Y/n)'s face. "I-I... U-Ummm... Jyugo~" (Y/n) said. Jyugo looked at (Y/n) to see she was frozen in fear. He looked back at Elf. 

"... Go get the medicine! I'll hold him off," Jyugo said. (Y/n) saw a flash of light and looked at Jyugo to see his arms were blades. 

"J-Jyugo?" (Y/n) said. 

"Hurry!" Jyugo said. 

"Right!" (Y/n) said and ran to the aisle once again. She frantically looked for the meds. For some reason, no one was there. She didn't know where everyone went. 

She then heard a massive crash as she grabbed the last meds she needed. (Y/n) looked to see Jyugo on the floor and Elf starting to walk towards (Y/n). She took multiple steps back as tears began to wet her cheeks again. Her back soon hit the wall as Elf licked the blade of his knife with Jyugo's blood on it. 

"Maybe it wouldn't;t be too bad to let you roam around a little with your so-called friends... You can even get to know Spiecem 15~" Elf said. "... But the sooner we get you, the sooner I can make you actually dangerous... You look helpless the way you are."

Elf was now in front of (Y/n) as she looked up at him, small whimpers coming from (Y/n)'s mouth. She didn't know what to do. Her legs were shaking in fear, and she knew in a fight she would only get hurt. But she needed to get the meds to Akira. On top of that, make sure Jyugo was okay. 

"... I'll see you soon... Very soon," Elf said as he started to walk away from (Y/n). Once he walked out of the store, the pain on (Y/n)'s cheek disbanded. She ran up to Jyugo, and all his wounds disappeared. 

Then the same lady from early was staring at them. (Y/n) helped Jyugo up and ran out of the store into the car. She was still scared. Tears were still running down her face. But she had to do something. She had to get away. 

"GO! Leave as fast as you can!" (Y/n) said as she got in the front seat. 

"Wait, Miss! You didn't pay!" Yelled a woman running out as Trois pressed the gas. 

"Looks like you are a thief now," Tris said. He then looked at (Y/n) to see the tears. (Y/n) touched her cheek to look for the cut, but it wasn't there. She calmed herself by now. 

"... What happened? Why are you scared?" Trois said.
