A LEAP OF FAITH

Chapter 30: Kidnapped by... oh, wait, these people aren't pushovers.

"BABY, BABY, BABY, OHHH!" An oddly familiar voice sang out. Mugi was the first to wake up, and what a wonderful thing to wake up to. He heard another voice, just as familiar. He squinted, trying to make out who the two people were. They looked similar in height and had similar color schemes.

"LIKE BABY, BABY, BABY, NOOO!" The feminine voice sang. Mugi could tell there was a girl, and a boy.

"THOUGHT YOU'D ALWAYS ME MINE, MINE!" The two sang in unison.

Justin Bieber? Seriously? Mugi crinkled up his nose. If you're going to sing in front of your hostages, then at least pick a decent song. He considered the singing possibly being torture methods. Well, it was most definitely working.

"Hello...?" Mugi mumbled, getting a bit bored of watching the two.

"OH, HE'S AWAKE-! VIVIEN, TURN IT O-" the boy shouted.

"I AM, VINCENT!" The person that went by Vivien cut him off.

"THAT'S THE WRONG BUTTON, STUPID!" Vincent stomped over to the machine, turning off the power button.

"I AM NOT STUPID!" Vivien frowned widely. Mugi now realized who the two were.

"Are you the guards for the staircase...?" He tilted his head to the side.

"Ding ding ding, give that boy a prize!" Vincent grinned. Mugi sighed heavily. The two were incredibly immature. He realized that the others were slowly waking up as well.

"Can you even call us guards-?" Vivien mumbled.

"We were brilliant guards. WAY better than the original ones!" He grinned.

"The original ones...?" Mugi asked in confusion.

Vivien nodded, "Yep! We heard from a little birdie that you were coming over to Orion's place, so we killed the guards and became them!" She said proudly.

"Yeah, and that whole 'entrance fee' thing, that was a whole lie. I made it up so that you guys would be back on time!" Vincent cooed.

"So... we could've skipped the whole 'cookie selling' thing...?" Sugar muttered.

"Yup!" Vivien giggled. Sugar frowned widely, inspecting them closer. They looked similar, just a few outfit differences.

Vincent had long hair that was pulled out into a messy ponytail, his bangs falling just above his bright yellow eyes. His hair was a dark and dull turquoise color, the same for his skin. His skin was slightly less green, and a bit darker in color. He was tall, around Ari's height, and had a boxy build. Light freckles sprinkled his face, his teeth had a slight point to them, similar to the teeth of a shark, just a bit duller. He wore a long, ragged cloak and a plain black shirt under it. His sleeves were long but didn't cover his hands that had several plastic rings sitting on them. His pants came down to his feet, they were slightly rolled up. He wore square-toed boots that gave him more height in the slightest.

As for Vivien, she had the same skin tone, eye and hair color. Her hair was tucked back behind a large hood, her bangs stuck out, they looked similar to Vincent's. She was taller than her brother, and slightly more muscular, but it was a bit hard to tell considering her clothes were quite baggy. She was wearing a mask over her mouth, hiding the bottom-half of her face. A corset wrapped around her waist, under it being a plain black shirt. Her sleeves were long and came over her hands, similar to her baggy pants that were held up by a leather belt. Her shoes were similar to Vincent's, them being black boots.

"Why are you wearing a mask and hood?" Kiren asked with curiosity.

"To hide my identity! Vincent said he didn't want to, but every smart villain hides who they are!" She said proudly.
