When I woke up, everything was dark. Not a single light shining in,
(??) "It's not crying?"
Who was that? Was someone else in the room with me!?
(??) "It's just a child, it doesn't even know the difference between life and death. You dimwit!"
(??) "What should we do? Our orders were to kill those two not three."
(??)"Dimwit! Even if our orders were to kill them, it was their fault for not noticing the pregnant woman. Just leave the child, we did what we were asked to do. Besides no one knows where this place is except us and the dead, it's going to die anyway."
(??) "How could you be so heartless! We kill people for a living and they kill us, there's less of us as well! We could raise the child for our sake as well!"
(??) ".....you..... truly are a dimwit."
(??) "So, we can keep it!"
(??) "Argh!"
They came closer and pulled me up from the ground, holding me in one of their arms as the other waved his hand over glowing dark green.
(??) ".....it's not sleeping?"
The masked man waved his hands over me again.
(??) "......You think it stayed quiet?"
(??) "We'll talk about this later, right now. We need to report to our dealer."
(??) "The child.... been quiet the whole time."
He says as he stares at the child.
(??) "Then why don't you hold it then!"
(??) "Because you looked quite comfortable while holding the child, even though you said to leave it...."
He stares at him with a glare.
(??) "Dimwit!"
(??) "Pfft! Not even your death glare scares the child. ....but honestly usually kids would scream or cry when they see you or me but.... babies are super sensitive especially, newborns."
He leans in closer as I meet eyes with him, and he makes me laugh.
(??) "Oh, ain't that cute."
(??) "hmm...."
(??) "You know..... while we were talking with our dealer, the child energy seemed to be the same as the dealer as it stayed quiet during all this time. You don't think the reason why the child's parents were killed is because of the bloodline between the two, don't you?"
(??) "......not sure. The child smelled the same but it seemed the person themself didn't notice the child present."
(??) "!!!, YOU DONT THINK ITS—"
(??) "QUIT IT, YOU DIMWIT! YOU'LL MAKE IT CRY WITH YOUR YELLING!"
(??) ".....aw, you do care."
Laughing without care, he looks more closely at the child's eyes.
(??) "Hey, stop."
(??) "What now you dim—"
(??) "Let me see the child!"
He grabbed me away and touched my cheeks and looked at my palm and eyes, my head tilt as he kept staring at me and pulled out a needle from his coat.
(??) "What are you doing!?"
(??) "I think I have a hunch, why our dealer wanted to kill the couple."
He gently pricked one of my fingers, making it bleed.
(??) "......I see..."
(??) "Isn't that needle....one of your enchanted poison needles?"
(??) "Yes, and it's not affecting the child. Meaning it's useless and the child lives."
......he tried to kill me.....YOU SON OF A B****
(??) " I see, no wonder he said to use normal weapons."
WHY THE F*** ARE YOU SO CALM ABOUT IT! HE JUST TRIED TO KILL ME!
(??) "I didn't think there was any more of that bloodline...."
One of the men looked away and stared into the shadows.
(??) "Get up, they're coming."
