"MADI GET AWAY from Gabriel!" Falo shrieked. She ripped Madi away, forcing the young girl to step back as Falo became her shield. She searched the room for the disciple in here with them. They were totally invisible so that made everything extra hard to try to take him down.
The disciple started to push stuff off the piano as they made their way towards the two. Falo began to step back, swallowing down a lump in her throat. She held her arm out in front of Madi, eyes wandering around the area they were throwing stuff around. She was scared, she was so scared. She had no idea why they were here. The Flame was gone. . . why would they want her or Madi?
A lamp fell in front of them. Falo gasped and steered Madi towards the vent, before she gave Madi a shove. She felt someone grab the back of her head, dragging her back towards the piano. Falo let out a scream, kicking at the person who dared tried to take her wherever the headquarters were.
"Falo!" Madi cried.
"Stay in-in there!" Falo grunted as she grabbed a candlestick and threw it behind her. No sounds followed. She missed.
"No!" Madi cried again.
The disciple picked Falo up from the ground, causing her to send a kick them. The disciple let out an angered grunt, before he threw her into the wall. Falo tried to get away. The person grabbed her and turned her around. Her face dropped when she saw who it was.
Not Cadogan. Sheidheda.
"Hello, Falo." he wickedly smiled, dropping the helmet. "It seems you're the key to the transcendence of the human race. They sent me to bring you back," he glanced at the vent. "Oh. . . and Madi could be the key as well. She could have some valuable information that you don't."
Falo hissed. "Why am I the key? Why is Madi?"
"You had the Flame and Madi is your daughter." he smiled. "Only. . . I don't want to transcend. I want to reign. They gave me a choice," he held up a vial. "Use these to bring you both back peacefully, or this if you wouldn't go peacefully." he held up a blade. He inhaled sharply. "I prefer option three," he revealed another blade. "To gut you and your pathetic daughter like pigs."
"I saved you."
"I don't care." he raised his arm to stab.
All of a sudden, Gabriel tackled him to the ground. "Go! Get help!"
Falo turned around and grabbed Madi, hearing only flesh stabbing. They sprinted out of the room to get to the rotunda before he found them again and killed them both. Falo couldn't best him. She tried and failed. The first she did was by mere luck. Luck she no longer had the luxury of.
"Help! Clarke!" Madi shrieked.
"Help!" Falo shouted out her lungs.
Run, she thought as she picked up her pace with Madi directly in front of her.
