Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam,

Et lingua eius loquetur indicium.

 

Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem,

Quoniqm cum probates fuerit accipient coronam vitae.

 

Kyrie, ignis divine, elesion

 

O quam sancta quam serena,

Quam benigma, quam amoena

O casttitatis lilium…

The tired woman yawned and leant back in her chair, stretching out her arms and letting them drop to her sides `This sucks…' She thought `I even got promoted to being his secretary… And I still have to work in this confined space with all this freaking paper work!' She slouched over the table, putting supporting her head with her hands. The phone began ringing at that very moment, but it was 11:00PM, who would call at this time? She picked it up.

 

“Hello? Who's this?” She flicked her blue hair back with her head and placed the phone in between her ear and shoulder, holding it in place as she continued writing her documents. “Hello, this is Professor Adam; I have some news for the director…” The secretary raised her eyebrows “Really? Sorry, he's not here right now” “Oh… Wait, what time is it?” She looked at her watch “It's eleven PM, on the button” A slapping sound could be heard over the phone “Damn; I got the time difference wrong… Can you take a message?” “Sure.”

 

“Were home!” Nana yelled out as she walked into the restaurant with Mayu. Nana had searched the empty building “No ones home…” Nana looked a tad confused until Mayu spoke up “They did go on a school excursion, and our school does finish earlier than theirs… So it might take awhile for them to get back…” Nana quietly nodded removing her violet ribbons from her horns.

 

It was late, Nana really wanted to get some sleep and it was Friday night after all, school is always so busy on Fridays and Nana had only just got the hand at this “Algebra” thing that was a real pain to do. They still hadn't come home and Nana fell asleep in her room, going into a deep sleep.

 

Help me…

 

Nana woke up; a sobbing, childish voice had disturbed her.

 

Please… Help me…

 

It was defiantly a boy's voice. Nana got up and walked down the hallway and she couldn't help but notice the grandfather clock which had stopped ticking “But I thought it was fixed…” Nana thought aloud.

 

Why doesn't anyone help me…?

 

Nana looked around the corner “Don't worry! I'm coming!” She began walking down the other hallway, which was a lot darker than usual.

 

I'm so… Alone… Why…?

 

Nana couldn't help but feel a little uneasy about this, how did a child get in here?

 

T-They asked for it! I-It wasn't my fault! I can't control it! No one will ever help me!

 

Nana became a little too uneasy and slipped up and fell to the ground. She slowly got back up rubbing the back of her head “W-What was that?” Her foot felt as if it was covered in something warm which happened to be a liquid of some sort. “Mayu must have forgotten to clean up the rest of the cleaning water…” Nana then looked at her hand which was also covered in it… But it wasn't warm water… “B-Blood!?”

 

I said it wasn't my fault!

 

Nana was scared now. “O-Okay” She stammered “its okay… Just please calm down… I'm coming to help you… Honest…” She made her way around the next corner where the voice was coming from.

 

R-R-Really…?

 

Nana couldn't scream… It was as if fear that had frozen her into a statue. A small figure with ruffed up hair and holding what appeared to be a an egg shaped sphere with hair attached, he stood a good meter away from her, he had quite long horns sticking out of his head and blood was splattered all over the entire hallway, other small figures were there too, but they weren't moving as they laid on the ground and some of their limbs were missing.

 

W-Will you laugh at me too…?

 

Nana couldn't say anything yet still… The figure turned around slowly, the object he was holding was a human head, the tongue was lolled out and blood still dripped from the neck.

 

S-Speak! Look! YOU ARE!

 

He screamed pointing; looking up at her. His face was… Unimaginable for a boy his age; he had rich golden-yellow eyes and the pupils were cat-slit shaped, his face was also covered in small amounts of fresh blood. “N-No! I'm not!” Nana blurted.

 

The boys' pupils shrank and grew slimmer.

 

YOU ARE! EVERYONE IS! EVERYONE!

 

He fell to his knees and threw away the head and grabbed his horns as if trying to pull them off.

 

It's because of these things! They wouldn't shut up! I had to shut them up!

 

It was as if he had been sent insane, crying as he tried to pull off the devilish horns that stuck out of his cranium.

 

Nana slowly knelt down to him and placed her hand on his shoulder “It's okay now… You said you needed help right?”

 

He looked up from his sobs and into Nanas innocent, jewel pink eyes.

 

You're… Not laughing at me…? Or punching me…? Or-Or-Or-

 

Nana slowly shook her head “-No… Never… Only evil people do that…” Nana even managed a smile. This made the boy cry more tears as he huddled up to her.

 

Nana hugged him and looked into the following darkness. A light flashed in the distance and Nana opened her eyes.

 

Sweating and bursting into an upright position, panting heavily she put her hand to her forehead and remembered the dream she just had as the rays of the morning Sun gleamed through her window.

 

“Hello, I'm here to represent Director Kakuzawa” The secretary shook Adams hand “Oh yes, hello. The director couldn't make it?” She shook her head “No, he's really busy at the moment…” Adam shrugged “Figures, and I guess coming to England isn't really someone like him would want to do right now anyway…”

 

Some time passed and Adam had showed her around the research lab, it wasn't as advanced as the Japanese technology but it still did the job. “So what is it that you wanted the Japanese to do again?” Adam had his back to her as he pushed a button which opened a set of two large metal doors which smoothly slid open “We have come across… Something quite astounding over our years of studying the Diclonius…” They were now walking down a staircase to the basement level “… We don't have the technology to go on in our research…” They made it to an enormous pair of thick metal doors, at least 2 stories high, Adam pushed a few buttons on a panel, and the doors slowly opened as steam escaped, blocking out their vision “… So we decided that how the Japanese are more advanced in technology than we are, we thought that giving the Japanese Highly Classified Research Facility one of our latest findings…” The steam grew faint and finally subsided.

 

“T-T-This can't be!? I thought-” Adam chuckled at the surprised woman who was looking at the 2 story high, thick, titanium metal made chamber with the numbers on the doors saying:
