Annaveri

Chapter 6

"Cool it, Siopi."

"Has he no consideration?! Does he not know the shit he has got us into?! This child will get the hell out of me when I find him!"

"Siopi, it's not his fault! He probably got scared and ran out! You know what that child has seen these past couple of days, and mind you, you still don't know his history."

"So what? That does not give you full out permission to up and leave-"

"Like how he did looking for you during those attacks?! He's scared! He wanted to be in the protection of your arms and he chose not to die while your house got blown up! Lay the fuck off the kid." Siopi growled at Zekke, but scoffed and kept walking. Zekke coughed hard and sighed. "The human world smells terrible. If someone where to die and their body was hidden no one could tell."

"Wait..."

"Hm?" Siopi had caught sight of two people walking down the street. "Look." He nodded their way. Zekke wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and looked the way Siopi nodded. A tall man with sharp red eyes and shoulder length black hair, and a small child on his back with platinum blonde curly hair, with skin that looked so soft but so cold, and his eyes just as blue and cold. "Yeah nice looking humans cool, but unless I get a free snack I would rather you not hype me up." 

"No, we should ask them if they have seen Ypolous."

"Well what are you telling me this for?"

"Something is weird about them."

"I can't tell from this far." As they continued to watch the man and the child, the man had stopped for ice cream on the side of the street. His eyes were warm and greeting, while the child seemed to be staring off into space all the time. The man brought two cones, but didn't give the other to the child. Instead he just kept on walking down the street. Siopi sighed. "The sooner we can find him, the better. I'm ready to leave this place already." 

"Sniff around, I'm sure you will pick up something." 

"You two lost or something?" Siopi and Zekke turned sharply. A young woman with long white hair that smoothed its way into jet black at the tips, ghostly white skin, vibrant slim red eyes, and blood stained red painted lips that curved into a smirk stood before them, her arms crossed. She was short, about 5 feet tall. Zekke studied her, and laughed. "Jeez, I had a hard time finding you! What do you want?"

"I'm not the one who looks like they aren't from here and missed their bus back to home."

"We are looking for a young child, have you seen him?" Siopi asked. She laughed and shook her head. "Kids here get killed if another demon catches them, especially if they're a different species."

"You're also-"

"Just as fresh and new as they come! Don't fret i'm not with they Zepulo or anything."

"Wait wait wait, you mean the kid we are looking after is dead?!" Zekke butt in. Siopi looked at him. "You seem more unhappy about this news than I."

"Sio he's just a kid! He could have grown into the worlds strongest of his kind and helped take back their freedom or something!"

"Zekke, stop this delusional way of thinking please, it's really not healthy-"

"I would have got a horrid feeling if he is dead, but i'm not getting that feeling, so he is somewhere around here!"

"Sio...as in Siopius? or Siopi?" The girl asked. Siopi looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "Yes, do I know you?" A long pause stood between the two, and the girl stared at him. "What's someone like you doing up in the human world...? Has someone done something? Or hurt you?"
