D.gray-man Allen's Sister

chapter 16

Serafina pov

I gently touched the marks on my forehead, while my heart was beating fast in fear. And I quickly regret it when my fingertip touched the marks, and a pain I couldn't describe ran through me from my head to the tip of my toe.

" Ahh!!." I leaned against the wall and tried to not fall down to the floor, while my head pounded painfully. " Why must things like this happened to me?." I slowly walked out from the bathroom while leaning against the wall, and walk all the way to the door out of this room. While walking I keep an eye on Road and the other who was still sleeping on the bed. And I prayed in my head that they won't wake up any second, this could be my only chance to escape.

"Mmm.Serafina."

I froze and glanced at Road who turned around in her sleep, while her eyelid tightens like she was trying to wake up but couldn't open her eyes. I took a deep breath and grabbed the handle to the door out of here, and slowly opened it. A loud creaky sound came from the door, and I froze in fear and glanced at the bed. Thank lord, nobody of them woke up, and I could slowly walk out from the room and out to the dark corridor. Only small candles were lighting up the corridor and gave it a creepy feeling like I was in a nightmare and a monster was hiding in the dark.

I gulped loudly and begin to walk down the corridor and hoped that I wouldn't meet any Akuma or any of the other Noah on the way. Which I had a bad feeling I would do. I mean am walking in their place which I know nothing about, and the only way I know is to the dining room and back to the room, they gave me. How big is the chance that I could escape from this place?. Very small, but I must try every chance I get, even if I know millennium will punish me.

Then a loud scream echoes through the corridor.

" Ahhh!!."

My eyes widen, and I shook my head slowly and hoped I heard wrong.

" Lavi?." I moved faster down the corridor even if my head was pounding in protest like it was trying to stop me to go further. I follow the scream and come down to a different corridor that was painted deep red and had black curtains all over the walls. There was only one door there that was slightly opened, and I could hear the scream coming out from there.

" Ahh!!."

" Stop there Fiidora, we don't want the boy dead."

I peeked through the small opening and saw Bookman and Lavi sitting in big chairs with ropes around their wrist. With Fiidora and Sheril standing the room. But what broke my heart was the state Lavi was in, he was breathing heavily and looked very weak. Like somebody has tortured him for hours and hours.

I cover my mouth and saw Sheril sit down in a chair in front of Bookman and Lavi, and had a big smirk on his face. While Fiidora was leaning over Lavis chair with his tongue out.

" How long are you going to keep your mouth shut, Bookman?. At this rate, the boy will die because of you."

Bookman glared at Sheril and didn't say anything. But Lavi coughed and blood ran down from his mouth. " Whatever you do, don't tell them, Gramp."

" Ho, ho." Fiidora grabbed Lavis hair and pulled his head back. " You still speak after all that."

" Let go of him, Fiidora. We still need him alive, or this old man won't tell us anything if we kill him."

Fiidora let go off Lavis' hair, and then a loud scream was heard all over the place. It was so loud that I could feel the ground under me shake violently.

" Serafina!!."

It was lord Millennium's voice, and he sounded really really mad.

Both Fiidora and Sheril looked up. " Lord Millenium?."

Fiidora turned to Sheril. " Something must have happened."

Sheril sigh and glanced at Bookman. " I guess we have to stop here but don't worry we will be back. Take the time to think, or this boy will go through so much worse."

T quickly moved away from the door and hide behind one of the black curtains before Fiidora and Sheril walked out.

" It won't be long, that old man will open his mouth." Said Sheril and closed the door behind him. "Let's go to lord Millennium and find out why he sounded so mad."

I could hear Fiidora chuckled mixed with the sound of their footstep, that slowly sounded farther and farther away. When I couldn't hear them anymore, I moved the curtain to the side and looked down the corridor to be sure that they really were gone.

" Good." I walked out from my hiding and opened the door big enough for me to slip in and, close the door behind me.

" Serafina?." Bookman stared at me with narrow eyes while Lavi was leaning against his chair with half opened eyes.

I put a finger to my lips. " Shh, be quiet. I don't know how much time we have."

Lavi slowly turned his eyes to me, and I could see they begin to slowly widen like he was surprised. " Y..Yiu is..turning..into a Noah."

" I know, I know. Its a really long story, but let talk about it later. We must get out of here." I walked over to Bookman and tried to pull off the rope that kept him in the chair, but I was too weak. " Dammit." I looked around the room to see if I could find something to cut the rope. But the only thing besides the chairs in the middle of the room was empty boxes and curtains all over the walls.

" There must be something that can cut the ropes," I said more to myself while looking behind all the curtains. But there was nothing, not even a piece of broken glass or mirror.

" Coughs...Serafina.. look in my boot." Said Lavi with a weak voice and moved his right foot. " I have a knife in my boot."

I raised an eyebrow while gently took off his right boot and looked inside it, to see a knife stuck on the side of the wall of the boot. it was a beautiful silver knife with a black handle and small carved family chest on the end of the handle.

" wow, " I pulled out the knife and turned it around and couldn't help to admire it. Even if I knew it was a bad timing. " it's beautiful."

Lavi chuckled weakly. " It was my father's, I always had the knife with me as a good luck charm."

Running my thumb over the blade, I could feel it easily cut through my skin and blood run down my hand. "It's very sharp." I used it against the rope, and it cut through like the rope was made of paper. I quickly cut the ropes that were around Lavis and Bookman's wrists, before helping Lavi up on his feet.

" What did they do to you?."

He shook his head and closed his eyes hard like the memory was too painful for him.

" You don't want to know." he turned to me. "Those marks look painful."

" Yeah, I can only imagine how horrible I look now."

I said and walked out to the corridor with Lavi and Bookman. But the moment we step out in the corridor I could hear the faint voice of Tyki echo through the corridor.

" Princess, come out come out where ever you are. "
