Chapter 11: Nightmares That I Think Are Becoming Worse

I awoke to the sound of a clatter of metal pots making a loud ruckus. I sat up in bed hurriedly, jumping out of my bed and running to my little sister's room for protection. I always came to her and she always came for me when we needed each other most. I hated being alone when bad things like this happen.

"Kana-chan, wake up!!" I whisper-shouted as I began tugging on her sheets impatiently. I heard her murmur some things before opening her eyes to see mine worriedly.

"What's wrong, Asu-chan?" she asked.

"I think I heard something from the kitchen," I whispered.

"But that's two stories down, how could you hear it?" she asked as her head titled slightly to the left. Another crash was heard and we both yelped, clinging to each other like two little scared kittens. She stares at me in disbelief.

"Go get Daddy and Mommy," I tell her. She nods her head vigorously, sprinting from her bed and running towards the door. She yanks it open and runs out of sight. An idea popped into my head, thinking that I had forgotten something and was out of where he shouldn't have been.

I ran out of her room and all the way down the stairs till I reached the kitchen I was never really allowed to enter unless necessary. Which at this moment completely was. I spring the door wide open, hoping to find our house cat, Onyx.

"Onyx, where are you?" I ask out in the dark. I've only been in here two times. I heard a few chuckles, and I instantly knew that it wasn't Onyx into hiding.

"O-Onyx?" I say out, utterly confused.

"Sorry, but you must be looking for someone else, Princess." a scratchy, deep voice said from behind, causing me to let out a loud gasp. What's happening?

"Who are you?" I asked, hoping to know if it was a butler or our chef. Sadly, it wasn't. Another chuckle was heard, a different voice. Their voices were so unfamiliar to me.

"If you're so interested, you'll have to do us a favor. I'm Natsume, and my buddy here is Kaito. We were told to do something. . . for a friend." the man answered.

"Dude! You didn't need to tell a "nine" year-old that!" someone rasped.

"Don't worry, man! It's not like I was giving her a choice anyways! At least we have someone doing the job for us," he chuckles, flicking the light switch on.

I could see them all clearly now. Big, tall, and looked ready to kill. Natsume had brown hair and green eyes, with a tattoo wrapped around his wrist that looked like a briar cut.

Kaito also had brown hair, but with brown eyes. He had a tattoo of a dragon on his left shoulder.

They walked closer to me, grabbing me by the shoulder. They snickered at me, holding me tight.

"H-hey! What are you doing?! Lemme go!" I shouted, but due to no avail did they listen. I thrashed around, trying to escape their tight grasp. They snacked me hard across the face and covered my mouth so no one could hear the protests of my screams.

"You will shut up and listen to us!" Natsume shouted at me through gritted teeth. I was scared of what to do. What would they do to me?! He put a dagger in my hand and tossed me to the ground. I whimpered, getting up.

These were bad men and they were wanting me to do something terrible. I wanted to refuse, but I was too scared at that time.

"You're going to do us a quick little favor. . . You succeed, you get your freedom and we leave you alone, until you come of use to us." Kaito stated with a sickening smirk. I was so confused yet I didn't want to say anything.
