Real Truth: Chapter 9

Chapter 9 

I eyed the motel curiously, Siren and Zenon were in there, i could sense them from all the way over here, like 10 blocks away.

I saw Siren run in there but i didn't see Zenon, which led me to think that he was trapped in there. It had been a long couple of days, the days i spent following those two, to see what they were up too. I decided then i needed to help out.

I made my way towards the motel and walked to the glass doors of the entrance, i pulled at them but they were barred shut, i scoffed, thinking i should have known the person who had Zenon would not let anyone in threw the entrance, so i'd have to take the indirect route like Siren.

I walked around the building till i saw a good place to start climbing, i stepped back, tensing my ankles and then ran at a dumpster, with a jolt i jumped up, using the dumpster to boost my momentum so i jumped high up, grabbing at a open window just a few feet up, i heaved myself in and landed on my feet, i pulled down my hood, letting my longish blonde hair fall just above my eyes and looked around.

I was in some kind of janitors closet, i tried to door but it was locked, was every door in this building locked?

I drew a long, bronze cylinder from my belt and pressed a button on the top, a blade and a handguard popped out, i always loved the gadgets i came up with.

I kneeled down on the marble floor and popped the tip of the blade into the knock, i then twisted the bolt of the lock till there came a satisfying click as the bolt snapped, i then kicked the door open.

The hallways were dark and cold, someone had cut the entire power to the building...except for one room. I knew then that that was where Siren and Zenon were, I put my hand to wall, feeling the electrical circuits running threw the walls, this would lead me to my friends.

I soon found what i was looking for, a slightly open door, light flooding out of it.

I slowly creeped forward, i could hear voices from within but i couldn't tell who it was...but there was one voice i heard and knew exactly then who it was.

Siren.

I drew my sword and charged in, There were four people in the room, One was a girl who i didn't reconize, she seemed to perk up at seeing another handsome boy arrive, the other was masked, who stared at me with a cold, calculating stare.

The other two were Zenon and Siren, who were flabbergasted to see me.

"Dante?!"

I pointed my sword at the two strangers "Siren, Zenon, get out!" They didn't move "What are you waiting for?!" while i was looking at them the girl had moved closer, her neck just inches from the point of my sword "Who is this cutie?" I blushed but kept the point at her throat "My name is Dante Trueblood, and i've come for my friends"

Siren sighed and walked forward, grabbing my sword hand and putting it down, for a moment her hand lingered, as if motherly but i felt something differant...something i had felt since the moment i met her "Dante, there with us"

I looked at the strange girl and man in the mask. The girl waved "I'm Lacey, this is Masquerade" "Nice to meet you Mr Trueblood" I tensed, how did this guy know my last name?

"Dante...what are you doing here? i thought you left us?" Siren said, staring at me "Yeah well...i couldn't stay away, pissing off the god of death, count me in"

Siren smiled and hugged me.
