Birth To The Flame: Origin

Part 17: Kidnaping

(Since I can't wait for my tablet, my main source of writing to be fixed, I just gotta wing it from here on out. I expect no votes and reads and comments for a LONG time.)

..

Morning

"Geez. Alex just has to be asleep as well as Lady Vert." Said IF.

She had been sent out to get groceries since both Alex and Vert were still asleep.

Alex would've been awake but ended up getting dragged by Vert into her late gaming session.

So, with IF being the only one awake, it was an obvious choice.

Though she was a bit grumpy about it, she eventually just got over it.

It took a decent hour of shopping for IF since Vert had for some reason needed tons of grocery items.

Why, she wasn't sure but IF just went with it.

Eventually Iffy had finished shopping and was about to head back to the Basilicom, however, right before she entered, a note crumpled into a ball was tossed to her.

She noticed it and placed her groceries down to read the note.

Eventually, she had turned into an alleyway

(Because of course it was an alleyway. Why wouldn't it be?)

And arrived at a place called the Devil's Nest.

"She's here." Said a man as he hopped down and stood alongside two of his companions as IF stood there in front of them.

"Ah there you are." Said the man.

"We know your secret." Said IF as she held out the paper. "Come to the Devil's Nest if you wanna talk. I assume your the people that wrote this note?" She asked.

"That's right. Said the man as he walked ahead. "We know a lot about your friend with the black hair."

"Well that's good." Said IF. "Cause there's about about him I don't know." Said IF as she played along with the man.

"Well then I'm the guy you wanna talk to." He said. "Why don't you come with us?"

"But Lady Green Heart said I'm not old enough to go out with strangers." Said IF.

The man cringed a bit but calmed down. "How old are you?" He asked.

"15." She said.

"Well come on then." The man said turning around. "I think 15 is old enough to start thinking for yourself kid. You gotta act like an adult and start taking some risks."

IF faked excitement. "Y-You think so? I should think for myself?"

The man then turned back to IF. "Yes! And you can start by coming with-!" The man got cut off as IF immediately roundhouse kicked him away.

"So I thought over for myself. And I decided to have you guys goof off. You ain't getting Alex for your questions." She said.

"So, you wanna do this by force?" The man said as he immediately got up and took out his sword.

IF simply walked and decked the man hard in the face with a fist but the man slashed IF's cheek.

It caught IF off guard as another subordinate got on IF and began to choke her by her neck. Not enough to kill her but enough to make her weak.
