Confusion broke through as he opened his eyes. Rain splashed on the boy's face, cold and unwelcoming. The sky was a musty dark gray and blue, growling, threatening clouds grumbled overhead as fast strikes of blue shook the night sky.8964 copyright protection476PENANAg36XzM5nbv 維尼
The boy's eyes were half opened, large and dull. The brown in them darted from left to right, searching for any open answers in which would answer his questions.8964 copyright protection476PENANA6hXsLRcvQU 維尼
Where was he?8964 copyright protection476PENANANFT3QNRFlu 維尼
What's going on?8964 copyright protection476PENANAvlVWpCQrw5 維尼
Who was he?8964 copyright protection476PENANAFneEJMutP0 維尼
A flash of red danced in the sky, hitting him in the face. His eyes widened at the all too familiar scent of blood.8964 copyright protection476PENANAvmYaj2Vb83 維尼
The boy's ears were clogged, and he could only make out a little bit of a conversation.8964 copyright protection476PENANApqrh3oMP9d 維尼
"Got the last one, Alba?" A feminine voice rang out. The boy thought her voice was ravishing.8964 copyright protection476PENANAcRZEnwGotL 維尼
More crimson liquid splashed in the air. "Yeah, Éire, I did!" The one called Alba exclaimed excitedly. 8964 copyright protection476PENANA5TtBvVJ0ms 維尼
The boy was even more muddled. His thoughts collided with each other for possible solutions on how to stay alive. He finally decided to open his mouth, but cold air suffocated him, making his gums dry up. He quickly closed his mouth, tears in his eyes at the pain his throat felt for being sore.8964 copyright protection476PENANAaLXlm9uC7p 維尼
"Oi, Alba, look at this!" The feminine voice whispered. Alba jumped off of a large cargo box, putting his sword in its sheath. 8964 copyright protection476PENANAzBl5moaJjD 維尼
"Who's that?" Alba questioned, slinging his brown hair out of his eyes. 8964 copyright protection476PENANAg44McpYmbH 維尼
"Don't know," Éire shrugged, wringing out her red, wet hair. "Should we bring him to the CMEC? I know Riem will get pissed, but..." She sighed.8964 copyright protection476PENANAga8FzOCr4x 維尼
Alba lifted up the boy's body, "Yeah, I understand. You don't care what Riem thinks, eh?"8964 copyright protection476PENANA0dck2762H5 維尼
She smiled, "Basically. Let's go." She lead the way.8964 copyright protection476PENANAVwTKDYW30e 維尼
The boy's eyesight was still blurry, his head hanging down the man, the boy feeling the man's shoulder blade jolting into his stomach uncomfortably. 8964 copyright protection476PENANAtZeJSfiP81 維尼
What's... The boy thought, seeing only the dark, wet cement beneath him.8964 copyright protection476PENANA0jn9DpWsLU 維尼
Suddenly, bright lights reflected in the rain that stayed on the ground. Although the boy's eyesight lacking focus, the lights were blue, red, pink, yellow, green--any color one could think of.8964 copyright protection476PENANAqZd5FT53df 維尼
The boy saw the bottom of stone buildings, and heard cars whizzing by in a rush. It frightened him, the cars. He'd never heard one before. The smell of tires pounding on the worn road, the burning stench, it covered up all of the boy's senses.8964 copyright protection476PENANAXfeTMvHvD8 維尼
Finally, Alba dragged the boy off of his shoulder, standing him up. The ground felt weird to the boy, his legs wobbled. He fell back into the arms of Alba.8964 copyright protection476PENANAGK2Yh8up65 維尼
"Whoa, careful there, little buddy." He placed him back on the ground.8964 copyright protection476PENANAMwAaU7LMK9 維尼
Why does he sound so weird? The boy glanced sideways. People were staring at the one called Alba with strange looks in their eyes. 8964 copyright protection476PENANAVrYvTYksI9 維尼
Are they...judging? The boy's eyebrows curved in sadness. 8964 copyright protection476PENANAUCHkML3b3T 維尼
Éire took a gold key out of her pocket and placed it into the slot on the door.8964 copyright protection476PENANAkNkCTuC7Jy 維尼
The boy noticed the glass door and windows surrounding the building. Someone could easily break in. 8964 copyright protection476PENANALltTcFsydd 維尼
"Got it!!" Éire stuck her tongue out in concentration. The door opened up, and she ran in. Alba pushed the boy inside, holding the boy's little hands tightly in his grasp.8964 copyright protection476PENANAgfAKgkErq6 維尼
Éire stopped, her eyes squinting in seriousness. "Riem," She scowled, voice becoming bitterly angry.8964 copyright protection476PENANAvmZGtw19wn 維尼
The boy gazed at Éire's back, and at the black-haired, blue-eyed man that was called Riem.8964 copyright protection476PENANAUcEigy2pch 維尼
Alba stepped forward, hand still attached to the boy's.8964 copyright protection476PENANA2rNLNQyrbV 維尼
"Riem, we had a deal. I told you that you can't bother Éire like that as long as our countries are allies. Don't break it now."8964 copyright protection476PENANAEiAviXAV3x 維尼
"Aww," Riem smirked, tilting his head sideways, "But she's such a temptress! I can't help it."8964 copyright protection476PENANAhr0jQtIEnU 維尼
"Screw off," Éire crossed her arms. "Or I'll sick my Alei on you."8964 copyright protection476PENANA6QRQt7JWnM 維尼
Riem snorted, "It's just a red deer. Deer can't do anything. Dilerra is a bald eagle."8964 copyright protection476PENANARfULg2I2Rk 維尼
Éire blinked her eyes slowly. "Huh?" She asked, tilting her head sideways. "The hell you mean by that, lad?" 8964 copyright protection476PENANAViaWsc37wd 維尼
Riem sighed. "Nothing. You know what? I'm done here." He turned around and gave up on his plan.8964 copyright protection476PENANA143IrwpAbZ 維尼
"Haha!" Éire pumped her fist in the air in triumph. 8964 copyright protection476PENANAuok1dMuE85 維尼
Alba sighed, following Éire up crystal-clear glass stairs that were oddly in the middle of the room.8964 copyright protection476PENANAE1owEMqNaG 維尼
Is everything made out of glass here? The boy thought in response.8964 copyright protection476PENANAgqyel3lFii 維尼
After what seemed like forever, the three managed to reach the height of the stairs. 8964 copyright protection476PENANAqNGqdbi7wa 維尼
The boy watched as the lady and man talked to each other. They were making odd sounds he couldn't quite comprehend. What were they talking about?8964 copyright protection476PENANASckmqAOskY 維尼
The boy was shoved into a room. A huge, red-wooded table with many chairs was in the facility. The boy looked around the room cautiously, many oddly-dressed people either sat in the chairs or stood around the room, waiting for someone to begin the meeting.8964 copyright protection476PENANAptvc6pPrnU 維尼
"Come on, Alba." Éire beckoned the brown-headed male. 8964 copyright protection476PENANArTHYnWBYSb 維尼
Are they twins? The boy questioned their extremely similar looks. The female's was much more red, but they both had light-green eyes. Plus, the male dressed with a plaid skirt that was red and black while the female's was black and green.8964 copyright protection476PENANAjYK2p1k7fP 維尼
There were other oddly-dressed specimens as well. A girl with two black, messy buns at the side of her head was wearing a orange coat-dressy thing, a tall, curvy woman who was obviously a veteran of the meeting wore white paint on her face, and had pink-colored lips. Another female, seeming about her late teens, had completely white hair with black tips. Beside her sat a orange-haired boy with a lollipop in his mouth. They both held hands as lovers.8964 copyright protection476PENANAPVQahHl3En 維尼
They're all weirdos. The boy filled his cheeks up with air. All these people were making him quite uncomfortable.8964 copyright protection476PENANA0dkRB59llG 維尼
The creepy guy Riem entered the room. "All right everyone, let's start this meeting!" In response, everyone gathered to their seats quickly. They seemed to want to leave soon.8964 copyright protection476PENANABCOdGsfAez 維尼
"Come on, let us go," Éire tugged the boy away from Alba. The boy spotted Alba go straight for the paint-faced, older veteran lady.8964 copyright protection476PENANA9vyv4u2cwN 維尼
"Stupid frickin' Bree." Éire snorted in disgust, going to the very end of the large table. She stopped and sat by the messy-bunned girl.8964 copyright protection476PENANAS8wpLoUiX5 維尼
"Ah, Ireland! Hello," She paused for a moment, gazing at the boy as Éire pulled him up into her lap. "Did you...have a baby or something? Adopt one?" She then became excited, "With who? Riem or Alba?" 8964 copyright protection476PENANAAiLbX1QXdb 維尼
"Shhhhhh," Éire shhed viciously. "Quit yer yapping! I don't even know who this kid is, we just found him after he was attacked by some demons. He doesn't even speak, from what I understand." 8964 copyright protection476PENANA06LS7Tix9G 維尼
The male Riem starts speaking, but Éire's ears do not follow him. "Do you think you can helped, Hop-Hu?" Éire whispered loudly.8964 copyright protection476PENANAJhpN7WCiQ7 維尼
Hop-Hu nodded. "Try speaking to him in Irish Gaelic first, to see if he understands. If he doesn't, then I'll try my country's language."8964 copyright protection476PENANAUFd1yaNOCA 維尼
Éire nodded, turning to the boy. "Dia Duit, ceann beag," She spoke with a beautiful accent. 8964 copyright protection476PENANAAfDrEH10Zy 維尼
The boy cocked an eyebrow.8964 copyright protection476PENANA0PkzdYsyRy 維尼
Hop-Hu giggled. "Mkay, looks like it is my turn," She paused for a moment, taking a deep breath,"Nín hǎo, Bǎobǎo,"8964 copyright protection476PENANAXWho1XaLB7 維尼
The boy understood, "Nín hǎo, Shūnǚ." He responded with accuracy.8964 copyright protection476PENANADdyBO4ytVD 維尼
Hop-Hu became excited. "Yehe! He understands simplified Chinese. He must be a traveler, then," She was happy to find someone that spoke her language.8964 copyright protection476PENANAqwPvI8xyAs 維尼
Éire became a slight bit jealous. "Hmmp, that's unfair. I'm going to teach him Irish Gaelic later. Little bastard, thinking he's cool knowing a language I don't."8964 copyright protection476PENANADBKj4dEmnu 維尼
The boy squinted his eyes. Éire's eyes were locked onto his in silliness, and her arms were crossed against her breasts tightly. Any language could realize she looked a bit jealous, or angry. Perhaps both.8964 copyright protection476PENANAsqWpfdg1Ml 維尼
"AHEM." 8964 copyright protection476PENANAjN1Wq58xVZ 維尼
Éire turned around to face Riem's, them being only a fingernail away's from each other's faces.8964 copyright protection476PENANAn2XsO8MmVy 維尼
"It's your turn to report about your country," Riem smiled like the Devil himself, clearly taunting Éire.8964 copyright protection476PENANAMZ5e3pYLT4 維尼
Éire sighed, placing the boy on her chair, and stood up. She faced the table, and cleared her throat. "Ireland has been pretty clean lately, with low-leveled demons defeated by yours truly: me! However, I would like to complain to Bree that she sucks at defeating the demons that run her country, since they keep appearing in livestock barns." Crossing her arms with a smirk, Éire was quite proud.8964 copyright protection476PENANAQRCP5zZAvX 維尼
Bree sighed, Alba sitting next to her, clinging to her hands, her fingernails painted a disgusting pink.8964 copyright protection476PENANAXKKDt2NQ4k 維尼
"You know, you really shouldn't complain about stuff like that, Ireland. You're acting like you can't handle the fact that I have demons accidentally running across my borders." The lady shrugged.8964 copyright protection476PENANAjorVKESteN 維尼
The boy let out a 'bleh.'8964 copyright protection476PENANAC0viDWRoSG 維尼
Bree's head cocked towards where he was sitting. "Got a problem, child?" She snapped.8964 copyright protection476PENANACDH9vw9EUN 維尼
Éire's black boot stomped the ground harshly, shaking the table nearby. "Stop it, Bree! Leave the kid alone. Sorry if I pissed you off in any way, but you see here," She pointed at Alba, "You always have Alba running to your side like some lack-assed lap-dog, and quite frankly, it's ticking me off. Just get off your lazy royal butt for once and kill some demons for your country! Or do you not care about England anymore, hmm?!" 8964 copyright protection476PENANArltejKDKdf 維尼
Hop-Hu jolted forward in her chair, clapping loudly and repetitively, pretty excited for Ireland's sudden burst.8964 copyright protection476PENANAxRuZuhr0LC 維尼
Bree growled, biting her colored-in lip, "Careful, Hop-Hu, England could still take you over."8964 copyright protection476PENANAE1IUnCgFQa 維尼
Hop-Hu fell back in her chair lazily. "Tell that to Xi Jinping," She shrugged, taking a bit into her thumb.8964 copyright protection476PENANAlYsZoX8rtl 維尼
The boy looked at Éire in hope for one of her cool comebacks.8964 copyright protection476PENANAFzEAE2dojF 維尼
"You still think you're Great Britain, lass?!" 8964 copyright protection476PENANAm6tV3JePBY 維尼
There it was!8964 copyright protection476PENANAaTawWNH50M 維尼
Riem sighed, grabbing Éire's hands and tying them up with thick ribbon.8964 copyright protection476PENANAS0uJYbpkQJ 維尼
"Hey!!" Éire exclaimed, struggling like a lost worm, "Get your filthy hands off me, you piece of shit America!!" 8964 copyright protection476PENANAoBeWd7qAyB 維尼
"Oi, let her go, Riem. I'm pretty interested in the little boy she brought here," A voice rang out from the large crowd.8964 copyright protection476PENANACk81bG7Wi8 維尼
The boy turned around to see the white-haired girl. He was astounded by her rebellious figure. She wore a black half-shirt that went to her ribs, a leather belt with metal holes in it, and blue-shorts that were rolled up at the ends. Her gray boots complemented her dull gaze at Riem.8964 copyright protection476PENANA1ZDBaf3kfT 維尼
Riem shook his head. "No, sorry Ukraine. I can't do that." He rejected.8964 copyright protection476PENANAiGk9ku6Fcx 維尼
The girl sighed, twirling her index finger in the air with circular motions. "How many times do I have to explain this to you people? The name's Kiev, after the capital. Not Ukraine. Plus, you should really accept my offer. It's a pretty good one," She winked her light blue eye at him.8964 copyright protection476PENANARwJgRk3ihw 維尼
"Nope, sorry," Riem shook his head with an awkward smile on his face.8964 copyright protection476PENANAJwBltm1pG7 維尼
The boy next to Kiev with his hand connected to hers took the lollipop out of his mouth with his free hand. "Stop being a sly pervert, Riem. Everyone here knows that you've been mates with Éire before, but nobody wants to witness you force yourself on her. Do that shit in private."8964 copyright protection476PENANAA7RnTe67U6 維尼
Kiev snorted. "Wow, Olive, trying to convince forced sex? That's nice. Right in front of children, too, you should be proud."8964 copyright protection476PENANAjn9PLyjUu1 維尼
Olive shrugged, "Well, it says it's legal for Demon-Hunters to do that, so personally, I think I'm following our laws."8964 copyright protection476PENANA6xHY7ndUY1 維尼
Kiev glared at him. "Doesn't mean you should uphold it in front of children. I mean, jeez, you're making this meeting vulgar."8964 copyright protection476PENANADEjhlRdOQT 維尼
Riem grunted, releasing Éire by thrusting her arm in the air. "Fine, then talk about the kid." He threw himself into the last empty chair. He was pouting.8964 copyright protection476PENANAtU0jYkC6er 維尼
Éire cleared her throat, grabbing the boy from her chair. She had an awkward face on and gazed around the endless pairs of eyes that looked at her. "This is...um...a boy me and Alba found by the cargo load. He speaks Chinese...and...he's, um, Asian. I think he's at least ten years of age, since he looks that way. That's 'bout it."8964 copyright protection476PENANAjBSkKwrsdq 維尼
Bree rolled her eyes. "So, you don't even know anything about the child you picked up? What of his parents?" 8964 copyright protection476PENANAiGhwJ1Ynf3 維尼
Éire plastered on a serious face. "I'm pretty sure his parents wouldn't leave him soaking in pouring rain, laying on the ground with so sore of muscles that he can't move them with demons lurking all around the damn place." She hissed like a cat with a ferocious impression. 8964 copyright protection476PENANAFBXSrRFBj7 維尼
Bree smirked, eyes wandering to the albino Ukraine that was picking at her teeth with a tooth-pick. Ukraine was staring blankly at the boy, as if studying him.8964 copyright protection476PENANAVmHxRSwPeq 維尼
"Well, maybe his parents were like Kiev's," Bree offered up an answer.8964 copyright protection476PENANAIoGCwm86sS 維尼
Kiev's blue eye widened in shock, her other line of vision covered by hair. "The hell did you just say, you crumpet-sucker?!" She jumped out of her chair and landed on the table. Her thin piece of wood to clean her teeth out with was clenched in between her jaws. Kiev reached down to her belt pocket, where a Shashka was sheathed. The sheath was black with golden edges, a silver cross sewn on it. Kiev pulled her sword out, its beautiful silvery edges nearly blinded everybody in the room. Kiev placed the tip to Bree's neck, gripping the black, neatly carved, dark-wooden handle tightly in her hand. 8964 copyright protection476PENANAFRc61HFkyI 維尼
The boy shook in fright at Kiev, in which she noticed right away. Everyone had their weapons closely prepared in case a slaughter was about to commenced. Kiev's eyes slowly drained of her fury, and she sheathed her Shashka back. "I apologize if I scared any of you. Especially the boy, and I'm excluding Bree from my apology. She can go get some Viagra and go fuc-" 8964 copyright protection476PENANAbalPwA7rHG 維尼
Kiev was cut off by Olive. "Anyways, we should probably end this meeting. Let's hold the next one at my place next time, all right?" 8964 copyright protection476PENANAExe5CZBLRt 維尼
Everyone nodded in agreement. Kiev blinked, and got off of the table, falling in Olive's lap grumpily. Olive grabbed her waist to comfort her. Nevertheless, she crossed her arms in disgust over Bree's comment.8964 copyright protection476PENANAWIsg7KY2p0 維尼
Riem cleared his throat, standing back up. "All right, now that that's over, let's get back to business," He turned his head around the room, "We'll need to discuss why there is another missing from his seat," He met the eyes with several people.8964 copyright protection476PENANA0N0hZxMSb5 維尼
Hop-Hu and Kiev along with a multitude of others glanced away although some did not. 8964 copyright protection476PENANA9SEPtLqt8n 維尼
Riem sniffed back, "You all knew Laos' Demon-Hunter, Newt, right?"8964 copyright protection476PENANANtgjD9x5Ly 維尼
Most people nodded. Hop-Hu snorted harshly, "Who couldn't remember the guy that screwed half the girls in he room?!"8964 copyright protection476PENANAvEsqpIa344 維尼
Bree rolled her eyes, "Clearly excluding I," She added.8964 copyright protection476PENANAFvTZSutzGG 維尼
Kiev scowled, "Come on, Bree, please save your excuses. We all know you're the biggest whore in here." 8964 copyright protection476PENANAC2KjbYzMlS 維尼
Bree gasped in a squeaky voice. "How dare you?!"8964 copyright protection476PENANAZDPX4ixjvI 維尼
Alba quickly stood up in Bree's defense, "Do not speak that way to Lady Bree!!" He demanded.8964 copyright protection476PENANAWkJEE4WyyO 維尼
"Says the whoremonger." Éire added sarcastically to her brother.8964 copyright protection476PENANAd4CwCXoBPZ 維尼
Hop-Hu couldn't help but laugh. "You'd say that to your own brother?"8964 copyright protection476PENANA87kbXUUqtU 維尼
Éire nodded. "Of course. When he gets all, 'Bree, take me!' mode I can act however I want towards him." She explained irrationally. 8964 copyright protection476PENANAw2XepmOUM2 維尼
Kiev smirked, "See, you must be, Bree. I'm sure you've screwed half the guys in this room too." 8964 copyright protection476PENANAHeSajeqoFx 維尼
"Hey!!" Riem and Olive shouted at once. Most of the other people in the room were kinda zoning out. It was a funny conversation, but who the hell really cares?8964 copyright protection476PENANABgZrk4Ltgn 維尼
Really great meeting, yes.8964 copyright protection476PENANAWLvEDJbDqG 維尼
Riem shook his head, "Anyways," He gained the attention to everyone in the room once again, "Newt, the previous Demon-Hunter of Laos, died. Most of you were all ready aware of the fact that he was dead, but we found his body by a stream in India," He gazed at a girl in the room.8964 copyright protection476PENANAQsn8VoJN3K 維尼
The girl was clearly Indian, but she had green eyes. Her dark, flawless hair was braided down her back. She wore a choli, a midriff-baring blouse that was white and dotted with a vast amount of gems. Her lehenga was woven the exact same way. She had a Machete pined to her side and glanced at Riem with a glare. 8964 copyright protection476PENANA7J1ACTsYzg 維尼
"Do not blame me for anything; I don't willingly go kill people, especially Demon-Hunters."8964 copyright protection476PENANApx605RLnly 維尼
Riem sighed. "Then how else would his body end up in India? It's so far away that it's practically impossible to not suspect you. Plus, it is very difficult to kill Demon-Hunters, so--"8964 copyright protection476PENANAnzLYOqsALU 維尼
"So I did not do it," She growled defensively. "He was an experienced Demon-Hunter, and I have only been one for three years. I do not have the strength to even accomplish such a task," She blinked at Riem, it was quite obvious she was trying to control her anger. 8964 copyright protection476PENANApz4XDriMIq 維尼
"I am leaving."8964 copyright protection476PENANAcmb4NxYrQo 維尼
Riem opened his mouth in protest, but nothing came out. 8964 copyright protection476PENANAlxFeYsou9o 維尼
"Aadakash, you can't just leave a meeting." Hop-Hu stood up. "It breaks protocols. If you leave, everyone else has to." She reminded Aadakash.8964 copyright protection476PENANAVZOu2Z1KMV 維尼
Aadakash shrugged. "Then that is a gift for everyone else. Come, Gurshant."8964 copyright protection476PENANAEFhMNbqMg2 維尼
The boy's face turned a dark red as a tiger walked beside the one called Aadakash. He was completely overtaken by its majestic appearance. The black stripes of the gigantic beast folded into the middle of the tiger's back and top of his head, massive paws filled with ivory-like claws gently pounded the ground as Gurshant the tiger followed Aadakash. 8964 copyright protection476PENANAwX598vW7nY 維尼
Éire pulled the boy into her lap as the tiger walked past, stalking behind the young Indian girl. Aadakash left the room whilst in reaction everyone stood up from their seats.8964 copyright protection476PENANAfyo4RZ2mh0 維尼
Riem let out a huge sigh that could most likely be heard from for miles.8964 copyright protection476PENANAW9bjOgb7z1 維尼
Éire's teeth ground together as she witnessed her brother Alba walk out behind Bree. "Bye, asshole!" She shouted from behind him.8964 copyright protection476PENANAeEAZ0mLgEN 維尼
The boy looked up at Éire with his large round eyes. Noticing this, Éire all of a sudden felt bad. 8964 copyright protection476PENANA0SfisnWdgb 維尼
Hop-Hu giggled behind Éire, gripping the back of her seat. "Aw, around him you might not be able to curse anymore." She teased, walking towards the door like all the others.8964 copyright protection476PENANAxrFdBVkbir 維尼
Éire sighed, watching everyone leave in a hurry. "So I'm going to be a babysitter, eh?" She questioned herself. Éire looked down at the boy, releasing yet another sigh. 8964 copyright protection476PENANAcDsRP4W5dd 維尼
"Do you know where Ireland is, child?" She asked the boy, standing up after placing him on the ground. 8964 copyright protection476PENANA9bTxGs8Gs3 維尼
The boy merely looked up at her, quiet as a dead soul.8964 copyright protection476PENANADnTel8g12S 維尼
Éire smiled, chuckling at herself. "Fair enough." She walked forward, beckoning the boy to come. He followed her, gripping Éire's kilt for comfort. "Well, that is understood to all people apparently." She told herself while walking out the door.8964 copyright protection476PENANArpBct6UINp 維尼
After closing the door behind her, Éire walked into the hallway with the boy at her side. 8964 copyright protection476PENANATFol5FkInB 維尼
Suddenly, Éire is slammed into the wall by an opposing foe, the boy losing his grip on the one that saved him. Shocked and shaken up, the boy is confused and looks up to see Riem viciously attacking the two.8964 copyright protection476PENANAdlkR0339QF 維尼
