∆ Clock Strikes TEN

Leonardo's eyes were as wide as his mouth. Shuu was frowning while Arthur examined the whole place, not as surprised as the other two, perhaps because he didn't consider Koyuki as a friend. Four servants came running to them.

'Leonardo-sama! We're sorry we couldn't stop it! It appeared so suddenly and caused casualties! 99 of us are dead!' one of them shouted.

Leonardo fell to his knees. 'What the fuck went wrong? Why would the Berserk target Koyuki?!' he murmured to himself.

'Where the hell did that thing bring her to?' Shuu gritted his teeth.

'Probably the Dark Forest,' Arthur spoke up. 'Berserks have been escaping the sealed prison and there's nowhere else to go. I guess.'

'You can't go, Shuu!' Leonardo barked as Shuu took one step.

'Take this spell off me!' Shuu retorted angrily.

'Relax,' Arthur interjected and put up his hands, creating a barrier between Shuu and Leonardo just in case. 'The Dark Forest is dangerous, everyone knows that well but that human, or rather—inhuman human needs to be saved as Berserk that eats something weird would become even weirder.'

'You can't teleport,' Leonardo snapped to Shuu. 'The First Blood might attack again.'

'Are you telling me we should go there by foot?' Shuu said, his voice calm again.

'Well... my cart might be faster than any other.' Leonardo shrugged as they headed outside.

I woke up with a start and my eyes darted around aggressively. I know I'm kidnapped but where is here? It's really dark... and a lot of trees—wait, forest?! The ground is damp.

'Ah,' I spoke when I saw that hairy creature staring at me silently. 'By right, I should have been eaten.'

The creature blinked and its droopy eyes suddenly widened as if he'd been electrocuted and it ran away to the opposite direction. I frowned in confusion. And then the sound of someone walking towards me was heard. I turned my head.

He was covered with black cloak and hood. He (judging by the built) stopped a meter away from my spot. I stood up. 'Ashiya Haku.' He began, his voice surprisingly sounded like a man instead of a monster.

'Sorry, sir, you've gotten the wrong person. I'm Akaito Koyuki.' I told him.

'I could not be mistaken. You are Haku. The White Dragon.' He continued.

'What dragon? It's the 21st century, how could there be dragons?' I queried, annoyed.

The male chuckled. 'Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I can be fooled by a mere disguise?!' his voice rose one decibel each time he said a word.

'What?!' she shrieked. 'Sir, please! I really think you've got the wrong person. My face might be the same of that dragon you think of—wait, how could my face look like a dragon? I mean, might be the same of that Ashiya lady but no, I'm NOT her! Please understand this!'

'I won't get fooled!' he yelled and raised a hand towards me.

'NO! WAIT! PLEASE!' I put up my hands, trying to stop him from moving forward and do something with that magical hand of his. 'I-I'm a human...! I was brought here by Leonardo—uh, Lord Leonardo—please, don't hurt m—' I gasped abruptly and clutched my hurting chest.

The hooded man kept quiet and stood still, watching. It began to hurt badly and I knew it was time for the meds. Breathing became a hassle. It felt like my trachea was blocked with cotton pads and the oxygen couldn't make its way in. I fell to the ground, struggling to catch my breath. It hurt even more when I tried to breathe.
