shadowhunters/ destiny: The Hunter and the Warlock

chapter 2

I was thrown through the other side, and I rolled across the ground, groaning in pain. I opened my eyes, and saw a metal man with a horn attached to his head. I pushed myself to my feet, and I looked around, seeing I was in some sort of cavern. " Where in Edom am I? Who are yeh? And what in Lilith is THAT?" I asked, looking at the floating creature behind him, and pointed at it. 

" Long story, short story: That is a HIVE wizard, and we need to go before it notices we are here." He told me, grabbing my wrist, and started to drag me away from the creatures that noticed us. 

I sprinted next to him, and I saw a ledge up ahead. I grabbed onto him, and he looked at me, demanding," What are you doing? This is not the tim- AAHHH!"

I launched us upward, and we landed on top of the ledge. He looked at me in wide eyes, and looked down, asking," How did you..?"

" Not now. Move, move, MOVE!" I told him, pushing him forward when I notice the swarm coming up the ledge, and we ran as fast as we could towards the exit. 

" Quick, think of the place yeh want to go! Some place yeh know!" I demanded, watching as he looked at me in confusion, but looked down, thinking.

" Okay, I'm thinking about the inside of my ship. Why am I thinking about this?" He asked, his eyes widening when I thrust my hand forward, and a portal opened in front of us. 

I grabbed a hold of him, and he yelled when I launched us both through the portal, landing on the floor of his ship. I snapped my fingers, and the portal closed, quickly getting off of him. " Get us out of here!" I demanded, watching as he strapped himself in, and I grabbed onto the counter when I was almost jerked back. 

Soon everything smooths over, and I walked towards the front of the ship, seeing stars. I sat in the other seat, and sighed, rubbing my temples when a headache starts. I see a hand in the corner of my eye, and turned to look, to see he was holding his hand out while smirking at me. " I'm Cayde - 6. Nice to meet you Snowy." He told me, quirking a brow, and smiling slightly.

" Ylvene. By the way, snowy is a horrible nickname." I told him, chuckling in amusement, and shook his hand. 

A shock went through my arm, and I shook my arm, saying," OUCH!"

He looked at me in shock, and he smiled at me, saying," It's you."

I looked at him in confusion, and tilted my head, asking," Meh what? Whatever that was, weh don't have that where I'm from."

He nodded in understanding, but I also saw hurt in his eyes. " In simple terms, everyone has a soulmate in this dimension. That shock... was telling us that... we were soulmates." He told me nervously, my eyes widening slightly, and I felt unfamiliar feelings in my chest. 

" Another realm with monsters, soulmates, and outer space. I just fought in one war, now I am somehow stuck in another. Why meh? I just want peace." I ranted, groaning in frustration, and dropping my head into my hands. 

I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I looked through my fingers, seeing Cayde was looking at me in concern. I looked up, and sighed, saying," I'm sorry about ranting like that. I just... I am tired of fighting."

His optics softened, and he smiled at me softly, squeezing my shoulder in comfort. " You don't need to apologize Ylvene. Rant as much as you want. I'm willing to listen. Besides... I think I would be screaming if I was in your shoes." He told me, smirking slightly, and bumping his elbow against my arm. 

I chuckled in amusement, and looked at him curiously, asking," Your one of those ' try to make everything light with jokes' kind of person aren't you?"

He looked at me innocently, and tilted his head, saying," I don't know what you mean. I just don't like being serious. I see no point in it."

I snorted in amusement, and leaned back in my seat, watching as the stars passed. I saw we were approaching their Earth, and I wondered what I was going to accouter in the future.
