Chapter 12: Test Subject

My mind flies...

Where am I?

That would be the first thing he thought. He then recall, remembering that someone call him, and he lost his consciousness... "That's right, he set me up!"

He finally awake, his hand tied to his back. The room was small, probably a dungeon cell. He struggle to standing as his arm tied and he lying on a bed. The first man he see is just the one he expect to see.

"Already awake?" Giorgino stand in front of his jail, smiling mischievously. "You... What you're going to do!?" The white haired one ask.

The older man fix his monocle. "You'll know soon... very soon."

He walk away, but the boy told him to wait, desperately try to get loose. "What you're going to do to my friend!? Answer me!!" His tone show anger, but it only made him felt pleased.

"They will join with you... soon..." His figure disappear to the darkness beyond his vision. The jail are alone again, but the white haired one keep screaming out. No one heard his struggle.

Giorgino's Mansion, Room 012, 00:27 AM

In the dark bedroom, a boy was sleeping in his arm held the back of his head. He listen to the surround, he felt something, and its coming there. He open the lid of his eyes, as he turned out to be awake.

"They come." He get out from the bed, pick his tailcoat in the chair and begin dressing up. As he open the door, he look around, scanning the corridors. He knock to the other room slowly, but none respond. "Hey Melisa! Melisa!!" He knock louder.

"What is it... Look at the clock... Hmm?" She stop her complain as he realize that Almerich were all dressed up, and she know what it meant. "Wait, I go tied my hair first." She close the door again.

Giorgino's Mansion, UG Floor, 00:45 AM

"You sure it's here?" The girl ask as the boy with black hair walk first. He did not answer and just observe the surround; a dungeon tunnel with simple candles as their solely light.

"I'm sure it's here..."

He then stop his movement as he look at something to the ground. He pick it up, a small object he that he know. An earphone with a certain stickers on it.

"He was here..." He look at her. Her eyes widened, unable to imagine what happened to Noir. "Let's go!" Almerich turn and run to the end of the corridor.

As the long tunnel end, a larger room await. The dungeon clearly made far below the ground, as the ceiling are far ahead of the floor. Demonic statues and dark decorations fill the corner. There are three door in each side of that square-shaped area.

"I know something was wrong.. Now where he could be..." Almerich try to observe the room, he goes straight to the farthest door in the room. Carefully, touching the handle and open it. A stair was there, and seems goes deep down below.

As the two descend, they felt a terrible aura creeping from the darkness. "You're ready?" Almerich prepare his arm. Melisa nod as she prepare herself, despite the fact that she scared to death by now.

The stair end with a long room, with few dungeon tunnel in the sides, and one bigger tunnel in the front end. They observe each of the corridor, its all only lit with few candles. "Something was here.." Almerich wad sweating, not because the heat or fatigue, but because the cold uneasy dread.
