I suddenly woke up, in the back of Alex and Xela's car.

Right... They were taking me to MIRROR, apparently.

Alex was driving, silent as ever. Xela was on the phone, talking all business-like.

I feel a little hazy, maybe I was having a dream? But I can't remember my dream...

"Akina." Xela said, sharply. I brought all my attention to her.

"We are making a slight change in plans. We are not going to MIRROR."

"W-what do you mean?" I ask, nervously.

"Silence." She said, distastefully.

"You'll know when we get there."

We were in the car for a long time, until we finally stopped at an apartment building.

The building was an apartment building, a lot like Antonio's, actually, but the sign in front was written in a different language. It was Japanese. I was able to read with no problems.

Why was the sign in Japanese? I decided not to question. This was Antonio's building, perhaps they are taking me to Antonio's room...

Couldn't be. Why would they do that? Xela pushed me forward, inside the building.

Unlike before, the nice lady behind the desk wasn't there. In fact, it was empty. She must have gone home, it was pretty late at night.

We went up the stairs to the second floor, and up to the third. The third floor was where Antonio lived.

However, Alex and Xela did not stop there. They kept going up, and up, to the sixth floor.

The top floor.

Down the halls we walked, to room 607. Alex knocked on the door.

"Mrs. Akina?" He asked, at the door.

My heart dropped, like a lead brick.

Mrs. Akina... Mrs. Akina was the last person in the world I ever wanted to see.

I have to get away. I can't give in to her.

No.... I can't....

I tried to pull away from Xela. She gripped tighter. I scratched, tugged, and even chewed on her hand to try to make her let go.

Xela didn't even budge. Almost as if she couldn't feel it at all. Come on, she has to feel something....

The door opened.

Mrs. Akina gave Alex a long look. Alex even looked a little intimidated.

"We brought you Sayoki, m'am."

"I could see that." She said, coldly. She glared at me with cold eyes.

"You two run off where you want. I'll take this....take Sayoki from here."

Alex and Xela nodded, and walked away, leaving me with her.

Lilith Akina dragged me into her empty apartment, closing and locking the door behind her.

"There, now.... I can finally rid the world of this beast..."

"I am not a monster." I said, firmly.

"Silence!" She shouted. Lilith circled around me.

"Remove your clothes Sayoki." She snarled.

I was nothing against her command. I know what she does to the disobedient. I slowly pulled off my t-shirt and shorts, as well as my underwear underneath. She didn't continue until I was standing in front of her butt naked.
