Flames

No... I hate descriptions...

Flames

The window was open. That was the first thing Siana noticed when she woke up. She glanced around in confusion. She had been over at Rachel's apartment to pick up a book she'd lent her when the dust storm hit. It was too dangerous to drive and insane to think of walking home so she had simply called Yasmine to tell her that she as staying the night. But something was still off now. Siana glanced around suspiciously millions of unrealistic and tariffing scenarios went through her head (a result of watching too many horror games) and she quickly leapt to her feet and closed the window quickly. 

Siana sighed, surveying all the dust that had blown in, then froze; there were fresh footprints in the dust... and they were not her own. She heard a clink from another room down the hall. Siana thought about going down the hall and waking Rachel up. She glanced at the clock. 2:33 am... damn. Her friend slept like the dead on good days... Siana didn't like to think about waking her up on bad days... Instead she got out her phone. However it seemed that the signal was blocked my the storm and she couldn't seem to get any connection. She heard soft foot halls coming back to the room and quickly dove back under the covers and pretended to sleep. Who knows? maybe the thieves wouldn't harm her if they though she was asleep. 

"Are you sure it's her?"

"Yes! I am sure!"

"And the other also?"

"An unfortunate casualty." A shiver went up Siana's spine... she did not like where this was headed. She heard something being spilled on the floor. 

"Come on, the boss wants us back now let's just take the goods and- OH MY F*****G AUGHHHHHH!" Siana jumped up.

"Non! Je ne sais pas où ils ont caché le gâteau!" Siana knew that voice. They must have startled Rachel awake somehow(she was never coherent in any language at 2am).

"Damn b***h broke my nose!" Siana's heart pounded as she ran down the hall. She wrenched open the door only to see her friend hanging limp from one of the intruders hands while the other bled profusely from underneath his mask. 

"Let her go-!"

BAM!

Siana almost couldn't believe it when she felt the bullet tear through her flesh. White hot shock ran through her every veins before being replaced by a freezing pain. She could not even move to break her fall. As if from another world she registered that the intruders were scampering out the window with Rachel over one shoulder throwing a lit match as they left. Only now did she realize that the liquid she had heard spilling before was gasoline.... the entire apartment building was ablaze within moments. Siana already felt light headed from loss of blood but she found that now the smoke from the fire was making her sleepy as well.

"Oi! Chibi! what the hell are you doing?! you have to get out of here!" yelled a voice amid the deafening sound of flames. Siana didn't recognize the voice. 

"F**k, what happened here?! you're covered in blood!" large hands turned her over. pain zigzagged through her body as large hands turned her over and then picked her up like a rag doll. Siana tried to scream but she couldn't seem to breath... her vision was going dark. Someone slapped her across the face.

"Don't you dare! if you sleep now you'll die. I did not risk my a*s in this inferno to have you die on me." snarled her savior. A face of a strange boy seemed to swim in her vision. Siana focused on staying awake... that was the extent of what she could manage in her current state, the rest she had to leave in the hands of this stranger.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE APARTMENT BURNED TO THE GROUND?!" screamed Yasmine. Beside her Sarah stifled a gasp of horror. Yasmine could nearly think through her fear. Not only was that her dear friend Rachel's temporary home(she normally lived in another country) but Siana was supposed to have been there as well.

"There were many casualties but the remains are too chard to be able to identify just now. However, we are not optimistic. Your friend's family has already been informed. We suspect there may have been some foul play. Did your friends have any enemies?" asked the blond detective seriously. 

"N-not that I know of..." hiccuped Sarah glancing at Yasmine who shook her head mutely as well.

"Very well, I would like to interview you both privately either way." said the detective rubbing his temples.

"I- I'll go first." said Sarah with a watery glance at Yasmine who was quivering with wide, shell-shocked, eyes. The man nodded and led her out of the room, his long blond braid swinging gently behind him as the door clicked close.

"She's not dead you know." said a voice to Yasmine's right. She jumped and turned to see a dark skinned boy with pale eyes leaning against the door frame... Yasmine stared in shock as she noticed the mangled lock hanging uselessly out of it's socket. 

"W-what? who are you?"  stammered Yasmine jumping to her feet and glaring at him.

"I'd tell you to "relax" and that "I won't hurt you" and other such stupid s**t but I find it rather boring. The name is Neah Walker, I am the capo famiglia of the Sonoran Mafia to be frank. Your friend is our... care currently."

"You-! you b*****d!" hissed Yasmine her eyes lighting up with hatred.

"Indeed, I agree completely. Anyway, she is putting up more resistance than we anticipated. We could use harsher methods but then who knows if her mind would still be intact? she'd be useless to us then." said Neah as casually as if they were talking about the weather.

"Why... are you telling me this...?" said Yasmine barely controlling her anger.

"Why, because we want your help of course! If you convince your friend to hand over the H.E.A.R.T. than we will let both of you free and never bother you again!" said Neah cheerfully splaying his arms in a 'I am such a generous person, aren't I?' fashion.

"I don't even know what the f**k you are talking about, but you must be an idiot if you think I'd help you take advantage of my friend." snarled Yasmine.

"Ah but you will~ because the alternative is death for her and worse than death for you." smiled Neah sweetly, "come with me and I'll explain further."
