Chapter 54: The dark truth(Arc 6)

Alex POV

I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. I was in some sort of dungeon room.

My legs and arms were strapped to an experiment table.
"What happened?", I thought.

Then the flashback of Takano kidnapping me played in my head.
" She brought me down here, but why?"

I heard footsteps coming my way. Then Takano's face hovered over me.
"I see your awake now", she said. I glared at her.
" What do want from me? Why are you doing this?", I asked.

"Well my subordinates need you and your sister", she said. My eyes widened.
" You mean Father and the others?", I asked. Takano nodded.
"Before that though we need more information", she stated.
She leaned in close to my ear.
" I need your help Alex", she whispered.

I struggled to get out of the restraints but it didn't do much.
"You know I won't help you so why even ask?", I snapped.
Takano laughed.

"Well cause I have a little thing up my sleeve. You can help me or I do something worse", she said. I froze and looked at her.

"What's the worse thing?", I asked.

"I could take your sister's life", Takano suggested.  My eyes widened.
"And how would you do that?", I asked.

"Well you know that little bracelet I gave her? Lets just say that its capable of doing terrible things", she explained. I gasped.

"NO PLEASE!! I DON'T WANT HER TO DIE! DON'T KILL HER!!", I shrieked.

"Well then its simple. You help me and I won't kill her", she stated. I bit my lip. Helping the enemy, or having the best person in the world die?

Both were horrible, but sadly the answer was obvious.

"Ok, I'll help you", I said. Takano smiled.

"Good, let us start then", she replied.

As Takano got our some equipment I looked at her with begging eyes.
"You promise you won't kill her?", I asked.
"Promise", Takano assured. I was still worried but what else could I do?

Takano grabbed a knife and pulled up one of my sleeves.
"What are you doing?", I asked. She didn't answer.

Then she took the knife and gave slashed my wrist. Not super deep but enough to bleed. I winced. Then she went up a bit higher and slashed there. Then she slashed right below my shoulder.

She did this same process with the other arm. She then got a drug set up in a shot and smiled wickedly.
"Now you might feel a slight, pinch", she said. As she lowered the shot my instincts hit  me. My hand busted the restraint and knocked the shot to the ground.

She looked at me disappointed.

"I-I am so sorry, I moved without thinking", I stammered. Takano hovered her face above me. My eyes widened. 
In the lighting we were in it looked like the shadow woman from my vision.

"Now now, is that any way to behave my pet?", she cackled. Her eyes glowed demon red and black tentacles shot out of her back.

I was frozen with fear. I wanted to move but my body refused to do so.

"I shall have to punish you now", she stated. The point of one of the tentacles slowly slid down my cheek and to my chin. 

I felt a sudden pain in my leg. I could feel it bleeding. I looked down to see a large scrape. She scratched once again right below the first one.

"Ok Alex, lets try this again", Takano said. One of the tentacles held down my arm in place of the restraint. She bent down and picked up the shot. 

Then she injected it into the slash wound on my wrist. I started to feel a rush of pain through my hand.

"W-W-What is this?", I choked out. She ignored me and injected more into each slash wound in my arms.

Each one was more painful then the last. By the last one I was screaming to the top of my lungs.

It was as if acid had been injected.

I screamed, kicked, and spasmed  in complete agony. 
"GET THIS STUFF OUT!!", I shrieked. Takano chuckeld in amusement.

"My my, does that sting Alex?", she mocked. I glared at her. Finally in about 5 minutes, which felt like forever, the pain stopped.

I took the chance to relieve myself temporarily.

Takano undid the restraints and I sat up. Then she bandaged my wounds.
"Now, what I want you to do is go to Stein's lab and grab me a copy of his chimera notes. Tell him that Takano asked for them", she instructed.

I nodded. I was about to leave but her tentacles grabbed me. She leaned close to my ear.
"Remember, if tell anyone about this...." , one tentacle traced itself up my back and to my neck.

"...You and your sister will pay the price", she threatened. I gulped. She led me the way to the exit and I went to Stein's lab.


Author POV

As Alex walked Takano laughed to herself. Her cellphone rang and she answered it.
"Takano, report", it was Altair.

"Well, Alex is in my possession now and she can't do a thing about it", Takano stated.

"Are Roy and the others gonna be able to catch you?", Altair asked. Takano shook her head.
"My soul protect is on so no one can sense a demon like me", she assured.

"That drug you put in the girl, what exactly does it do?"

"Well it empowers her abilities and gives me control to command her. Its flawless", she said.
"What are the side effects?", Altair asked.

"Side effects. What are you talking about?", Takano said innocently.

"Don't  play dumb Takano, you always put side effects on purpose. So what did you do?" Takano laughed insanely.

"Oh god this is the best. So you know how fire foxes have visions of the future?", Takano asked.

"What about them", Altair retorted.

"I altered them so that some would be real but others would be completely incorrect. If she sees something and its not true, her instincts won't know. Its so amusing", she cackled.

"....You truly are evil. Just make sure we get the chimera notes, burn part of Central, and capture the girls", Altair ordered.

"Understood, Takano out", she replied and hung up. She went back to the lab and looked at the knife she slashed Alex with.]

"My pretty, you shall be my little pet forever"
