Chapter 8: Escape 3

After about 40 minutes Samael and Morana heard footsteps and voices outside and they both became tense and quiet.

"Hey, did you hear? doctor Angus is making a scene again."

"Again? "

"yeah, I heard he demanded that subject as an experiment."

"For real. Doesn't he know that's master Victors personal subject. He does not allow anyone to experiment with subject Zero."

"Yeah. That's the reason. Master Victor refused to marry Dr. Angus's daughter and now Dr. Angus is trying many ways... basically he is throwing a tantrum."

"Yeah but that is still just an experimental subject right, master Victor will probably gift it to doctor to appease him, after all it's not worth straining relationships."

"Ahh, you have not been here so you don't know, master Victor will never give anyone subject Zero." Said the first guy.

"You must be exaggerating right, even if it's special subject it is still all it is a subject."

Then came a third voice.

Ahh, you really don't know anything. It's not just a subject, that one is very special."

"How?"

"Do you know the longest a subject lasted here?"

"No but I imagine not much."

"Not much is underestimation, especially when it comes to master Victor, no subject has ever lasted longer than a year."

"A year?"

"Yes, a year and that, was also by luck usually they die in weeks or in days, but that one is an exception, they say master brought subject Zero when one was just a newborn, it's the oldest subject, it's been here over 8 years."

"8 years, for real?"

"Almost nine. They say master treats subject Zero like his own child and allows lots of freedom. The doctor is not a first person that tried to harm it but master left none alive. If the doctor tries to touch subject Zero no one will be able to appease master anger."

"For real? It must be just a rumor after all its master, we are talking about."

"No, everyone knows that he even accompanies subject Zero on every birthday and gives lots of precious gifts, even helps with cultivation."

At that time, more footsteps could be heard outside the cell 7 but this once were faster and then flustered voice came.

"What happened? Why is everyone in a hurry?" Asked one of the voices from before.

"Doctor forcefully tried to take subject Zero and broke in the cell but"

"but what don't mumble and speak." Annoyed voice came.

"Subject Zero was not in the room, they can't find where Zero went."

"Not in the room? Where could she have gone?"

"I don't know but the doctor is very angry and ordered everyone to find her, things are not looking too good some of the other doctors are contacting master."

More voices came but both Morana and Samael did not continue listening, they needed five more minutes and they could get out of here, then nobody would find them.

After voices died down Samael looked at Morana and said.

"You are subject Zero, right?"

"What does it matter, soon we are getting out of here and if you have not forgotten I am your master from now on."

"Ugh, I did not mean it like that I am just asking you don't have to look at me with that expressionless eyes."

"Well you will have to get used to them because they are always like that."

"For real?"

Morana no longer listened to Samael's mumbling and completely ignored him. she didn't know why, but for some reason this person's whole existence annoyed her.

Meanwhile, in the other part of the lab.

"Doctors we can't find subject Zero anywhere, facility is too big guards are still looking for her but it might take a while. We did find her magic restriction bracelet in her room, so it's likely she is trying to escape." Head of the guards reported to the few doctors that were in the hall.

"We should contact master Victor and inform him of what happened." Said one of the older looking doctors.

"No, we can't. Master is currently on his way to the competition, we can't disturb him with such matters." The one who spoke this time was doctor Angus.

"Angus you know that master treats this one differently and she really is special. We won't overlook your private vendetta on important matters, we must inform the master."

"It's not about my private matters, it's exactly because master treats her differently that we can't inform him, what if this matter effects, him negatively. We just need to find her soon, lets lock down the lab she won't be able to leave here anyways. We can't bother master about this."

Other elders were a bit reluctant but agreed after all it was all logical.

"Okay we will do as you say but after we find her you can't touch her when the master comes back, he will deal with it as he wishes and if you can't find her in three days, we will inform master.

Back, in cell 7.

"It's time the potion effects are gone and we can leave now." Said Morana as she stood up and Samael held her hand after that, they disappeared like they were never there.

One day passed, and they could not find Morana anywhere but guards continued looking.

Two days passed and when they still could not find her Angus's confident crumbled a little. He became nervous and together with him so did the other elders.

After fourth day elders could not wait any more.

In the hall

"Angus you said that you would find her but she is nowhere, we must contact the master or no one will survive his anger."

"We looked everywhere but can't find her, except that place we looked everywhere."

"You know we can't enter that place it's forbidden."

Meanwhile competition has already stared on Victor side it was actually second day already but for some reason Victor had a very bad feeling that he could not get rid of.

He was sitting in the break room for his family when his closest confidant came in.

"Master, there is a letter for you from the lab."

"The lab? Did something happen?" Victors bad feeling was getting worse and worse. 'Did something happen to her? No there is no way anything could happened to her after all she is safe back in the lab.'

Victor was reassuring himself while he took the letter from the man and opened it. The more he read paler and angrier he became.

"Master?" man was guessing that something must have happened to that person otherwise master would not have such a big reaction.

"We are leaving, get ready."

Man could not react in time.

"Now.!" So, Victor shouted at him because of the content in the letter none of them noticed that someone outside the door was listening to their conversation and before Victor's confidant came out of the room he disappeared.
