Creatures Of The Night

Chapter 11

This time I parked Nini outside Aureole black door just in case of we needed to make a quick escape. Because the spell was broken by Amy who means that the black door is now view-able to anyone who passes by. There was little light on the streets and the sky was full of dark angry clouds. The strange feeling that I had before the creatures of the night attack was gone. I took that as a sign of good fortune. Inside Aureole place everything was in the same place as before. Nothing was out of place. I picked up a jar which looked like it had a live black heart inside of it. "It's going to take forever just to find anything useful inside of here" I complained. "Well we better hurry then" Alex replied as he picked up the edge of the blue Matt effortlessly looking to see if anything was hidden beneath but came up with nothing.

"Wait a minute Aureole is completely batty how we are ever going to find anything? Not to mention the fact that we don't even know if she even wrote the vision down at all

Alex" I complained. "I know it's' hard Macy but just look. If we don't find anything in a few hours then we'll leave and come back tomorrow but just for now look" Alex argued back. I sighed before getting to work through the jars. Some of the things were so creepy and disgusting it made me want to puke. How could Aureole live like this? After about an hour or so of looking and coming up with nothing, I leaned against one of the tables looking around the room. This wasn't like stealing candy from a baby. Aureole was clever so she would probably hide something important in a place where no one will ever find it. So there was only one thing to do, I had to think like Aureole. That's when I said to myself if I was Aureole where would I hide something important?

My eyes laid and stayed on the two white and black posters on the world. I remembered how Aureole talks in praise about the words. What did she say again? That 'tentou' for heaven and 'tsuchi' for earth. You had to use both to survive and complete your future. That's when the idea came in my mind. Could Aureole have...Well there was only one way to find out. "Alex gives me a boost" I asked him as I walked to the posters. Alex didn't ask why probably because he read my mind and knew what I was thinking. He walked towards to the posters stood underneath them and bended forward offering me his back. "Will you be OK if I stand on your back" I asked curiously. "Yes, I'm stronger then I look" Alex replied. I remembered how Alex had chucked one of the creatures of the night unto of the other and how with only one punch he made the creatures of the night fly backwards. Alex was definitely stronger then he looks. I put one foot on Alex's back before hoisting myself up onto his back. I wobbled a bit at first and nearly fell off before I had a grip of my balanced.

"You OK" I heard Alex say. "Fine what about you" "Great just hurry up" I nodded my head. Time was crucial right now. God knows how long Alex could hold me up for. I had to trust my balance skills as well as Alex as I slowly gripped the top side of each of the two posters in each of my hand. Here goes I thought before ripping both the Japanese posters of the wall. Hidden behind the two posters was a rectangle shape safe. The safe was made out of silver steel with a circular combination lock on it. "It's not made out of steel" Alex said interrupting my thoughts. "What" I said looking down at him. "I said it's not made out of steel. It's most likely made out of Iron" Alex informed me. "Why" I questioned.

"Because iron is the only thing that can hurt and kill any type of supernatural. Aureole must have made it out of iron so no supernatural can touch it" Alex explained.

"Why are they affected by iron" I asked carefully. "Don't know maybe because it is a significant element on earth" Alex suggested. Well luckily for us Alex iron doesn't do anything to me I thought in my mind. "Good" Alex rasped his voice sounding really strain. "Alex just holds me up for a bit longer I'm going to open the safe" I said hopefully. "How are you going to open the safe" Alex questioned. I smiled at that question. "I have my ways" I said secretly. I took a deep breath and leaned forward and pressed left my ear against the cold iron safe. I closed my eyes and with my right hand started to turn the lock clockwise. I waited and listened carefully at the pattern of clicks. This would work so much better if I had a doctor's stethoscope with me unfortunately I don't so I have to make do with just my ear.
