Chapter 56: Disappearance To my surprise, Alexis wasn't in our inn room either. I began panicking again. Without my demon powers, I was quite vulnerable to attacks outside at night. I had lost my Dark Nisrock back when I had first transformed into the Dark Angel, and for some reason, I couldn't summon the Archaeion. Even if I did have a bow, it would be next to useless in close-quarters combat. How was I going to find Alexis now!? I took out the breast cream from my pocket and stared at it for a few minutes. That was most probably a distraction so that I would lose Alexis, come to think of it. I groaned. Now, Alexis was gone, all because of my carelessness...... The others had gone to sleep hours ago. I blinked. I was in a dark room, and I couldn't move. How did I get here? The last thing I remembered seeing was Artemis strapped to a table and a weird salesman standing over her with a tube in his hand. My eyes started to adjust to the darkness and I could see that I was in a storeroom. Also, whoever had maplenapped me was standing in a corner, dozing off. I was lying on a bed in a reclining position, and I was half-naked. Typical pervert. I tried to contact Artemis with the Telepathy function developed by our Inner Beast relationship, but she wasn't responding. A few minutes later, I found that I was able to move again. I took a quick look around and found my clothes on a nearby chair. I put them on and tiptoed over to my maplenapper. It was Kagome's sister, Anne! Maybe she got too tired and fell asleep there. There was a credit card sized computer on the floor. It was open to a Solitaire game. I fought the urge to laugh and located the door. It was bolted shut. I rolled my eyes. Do I have a choice now? I unbolted the door quietly and tried it again. There seemed to be a lock on the outside too. "Siren!" I thought. "Yeah, yeah....... I'm here...... You woke me up from my beauty sleep..." The Siren moaned. "Can you blow this door off its hinges quietly?" I asked. "Can the Dark Dragon bite its own eyes? I doubt it. All you can do to get out is blow that door off its hinges noisily, and wake up Miss Petite over there." It replied crossly. I stepped back and pointed my palm at Anne. "Ice Prison." I whispered. 3 sheets of ice shot out of the wall and enclosed her in a corner. Next, I pointed my palm at the door. "Freeze." I whispered. The door froze into ice. I landed a hard kick on it and it shattered into pieces noisily, but thanks to the Ice Prison, Anne didn't wake up. "I didn't think of that." The Siren commented, impressed. I ran out the door and found myself in a dark alley. To be more accurate, thug-infested dark alley. I put some spring in my leg and hopped up onto a rooftop. It was a full moon. I had no idea where I was currently, but I could see the marketplace. I headed towards it, wondering who would open a market at this time of night. However, I stopped as soon as I got close enough to see it. It was a black market. Guns, bullets, slaves, and even prostitutes were all around the place. I quickly turned around and jumped off as fast as I could. No way I wanted to end up in a place like that looking like some prostitute. I was completely lost now. No matter where I went, I couldn't recognize any buildings. The search wasn't fruitless though. Eventually, I saw the lights of the inn. I was immensely relieved and jumped off towards it. It was the right one, all right, and I pushed open the door and walked in. The bar was crowded at this time of the night, and I could see a few gropers doing their stuff on any girl they passed by. One unfortunate one tried to grope me. I sent the guy flying out the door and into an opposite wall. I was given a wide berth after that. I made my way up the stairs leading to the rooms and found Artemis's room. The door was locked. I groaned and knocked on the door. There was a bit of a scrambling sound and the door swung open. "Alexis!" Artemis was breathless. I stumbled into the room. "Where were you?" I asked. Judging by Alexis's breathing, she had a hard time. "No idea, actually. Anne tried to maplenap me, but I broke out. I don't think she knows I can break down double side-bolted doors." Alexis panted. I head her stomach grumble. "You're hungry." I remarked. She nodded and flopped onto the bed. I heard snoring. I gazed out the window for a second, and noticed a full moon. My body felt a sudden urging to go out. I complied, and walked out of the inn to stare at the moon. It seemed...... irresistible... My body started to levitate as the moon bathed me in its rays. A few minutes later, I was walking back into the inn, feeling more powerful again. Apparently, the moon had reawoken the Dark Angel. However, my body wasn't showing any demon characteristics. Once back in the room, I took another look at the Dark Angel's memories. |
