Levi turned his head, strapped to a chair, Bianca stuck the same less than 20 feet away but still out of arm's reach. He opened his mouth to speak to her but was stopped as a tall pale man stepped from the shadows, hovering over Lev's unconscious friend. The teenager froze, fear running through him as the towering man turned, a knife flashing from where he held it in his hand.
"You have something that we want" The Man looked to the teens "Leviathan Black."
Levi stiffened, very few knew his real name, but he attempted to play it off cool
"I don't have anything. I have no idea what youre talking about" Levis voice didn't waver as Bianca began to awake. Bianca made no noise as she looked up, no fear appearing on her face.
"You're a black, you have it and you will give it to us" The man flipped the knife in his hand as he spoke. The fear in Levi began to grow, as he sincerely had no idea what this kidnapper was talking about. The groan but a bus, several feet of cement, above rumbled the room and the man turned away. It took a moment for Lev to realize that the mysterious figure was wearing a black hood and that in fact his hair was grey and white, as if a natural fade had occurred over the years of his life, and that was not a knife but the illusion of one that their capture had made by pressing the reflective sheen of his abnormally long nails together. Something about this man seemed off, other than the fact that he had just kidnapped 2 teens, and levi spent a moment trying to figure out what it is.
"You, Leviathan, will give me what I want or I will cut open your friend"The mans threat was cut off with a crashing sound down a hall that neither Levi or Bianca had noticed before. Less than a second after their capture had disappeared to investigate a masked man, no older than Levi stepped out of a shadow behind Bianca.
"Do not fear, my name is Spencer, I'm here to rescue you" He spoke barely beyond a whisper and yet they both heard him. Levi looked at Spencer as He cut the ropes holding Bianca in the chair. Spencers eyes were the only thing that showed on his face, save for some blood red hairs that fell to as far as his nose. One eye matched his hair a solid crimson color, the other, the other was the one that got the most attention. His pale eye, the iris and pupil a solid white making it seem as though he had no eye at all, with a scar over the top reaching from his brow to the middle of his cheek, at an angle that would go right through his pupil. Spencer made quick work of cutting both free and guided them to a passage hidden in the back wall
"Hurry before Ember returns" He guided the two strangers into the passage, glancing over his shoulder every other second
>.<
The world seemed different, Darker. The sky was a grey haze and the buildings seemed leeched of color.
"I don't remember powell being this gloomy" Bianca spoke softly as they passed Gandalf's' and headed towards the AmPM. The two friends were still in the process of accepting the fact that not only were they kidnapped, but also that they had escaped via walking through the wall of an overpass. Levi chuckled, trying to lighten the mood.
"I forgot, you're not used to the beauty of Sellwood" Bianca gave her friend a look and they walked on, Spencer just behind scanning the area around them.
"So, do we, like, call the cops or somethin'" Bianca asked and looked between the two others, almost missing her footing when Spencers attention snapped to her."
"No" He spoke quickly and harshly and urged them across the street and behind the Piano repair "This is a Hex case, we don't ever bring in Cops on a Hex case" Levi tilted his head, confused by Spencers words, receiving only a frustrated breath of air as an explanation.
"You'll understand soon" Spencer spoke under his breath but loud enough for the two teens to hear. The rescuer paused behind the beige brick building and in a fluid movement slid the dumpster to the side, revealing a worn down poster.
"Put your hand on it" Spencer ordered, gesturing to the faded image of a piano bordered by foreign words. Bianca and Levi both hesitated, looking at the black haired man, who couldn't have been too much older than themselves.
"Why" Bianca asked, crossing her arms "Levi has family 'round here, I dont think we need anymore help" As she spoke the older friend took a step back from Spencer, nudging Levi with her elbow. With hesitant agreement Levi gave a quick thanks and pulled his friend from the man ,that he had just realized was a stranger.
