The Fallen (On Hiatus)

Chapter 31

"Where...I am?"

I opened my eyes to see that I was chained once again on a wall. But this time, my surroundings were completely different. I was inside a small and dark room with some strange metallic handcuffs holding both my hands and legs.

"The hell is this shit?!" I tried to break free only to realize that I was completely unable to move. Suddenly, the door cracked open, revealing a middle aged man in black. He walked closer towards me with a cocky smile on his face. I in return spared him a glare. "So? How does it feel being powerless?" He spoke in a deep and husky voice as I kept my gaze steady. "Well it really is surprising to see that something can actually withstand my power. I'm honestly impressed." I spoke ever so emotionless. The man's smile never fading.

"Those are not just any handcuffs. They are designed from a specific blood that came straight from hell. A power strong enough to kill both demons and angels. Do you perhaps have any idea of what this could be?" "There's nothing like-" "But you are still stuck here unable to move an inch." I hardened my glare as the man gave me a laugh. "Believe it or not, those handcuffs are filled with Arsaix's blood." Arsaix blood...? You have to be kidding me! "There's no way this could ha-" "Are you sure about that? You were missing for a long time from the Living Island." I couldn't talk. I could only stare in terror the man in front of me. Just how much does he knows about me? Who is he?

"I'll be taking my leave now. Ah, and if someone enters this room, don't mind them. They'll just be doing some experiments on you. After all, you don't find a demon-angel everyday." He opened the door ready to leave but not before giving me a smirk. "After your brother of course." "Wait the hell up! What have you done to my brother?!" My yells were in vain as the man had already left. To think that they knew about my brother... And who knows what they could have done to him...!

I thought but soon enough, just as he said, many people entered my room almost immediately. They were caring a bunch of weird mechanisms that I had never seen before. "Stay away from me! Don't you dare touch me!!" Before I knew it, the room was filled with a gray smoke which caused me to loose once again consciousness.

When I woke up, I was inside a rectangle glass like box. "Our queen is finally awake~" I turned my head on my right and saw an unfamiliar demon with long black hair and sky blue eyes. "Sarah!" My gaze focused on my left to see David along with my missing friends. Each one having their own separated "box". "Is everything okay?! Have they done anything to you?!" I questioned everyone with a mixed feeling of relief and fear. "We are fine. They haven't done anything to us yet but we are still held prisoners." Spoke Alexander as I took a better look on my surroundings. Many different type of monsters and demons were held on those boxes. I placed a hand to touch the glass only for it to push me away with force.

"Don't fret my queen. I'm confident that now with you here, we'll be finally able to get free." I gazed once again at the strange demon on my right as he showed me a polite smile. "Dear me, where are my manners. My name is Dominic and I'm one of the many lords of the underworld. I'm sure you would be confused as to why I referred to you as queen but soon enough your questions will be answered. It's only a matter of time."

"Did he say queen?!" "From the prophecy?!" "Is our savior finally here?!" I heard many other say as I still gazed at the demon with questionable eyes. "What's this ruckus about?" Suddenly the same man from before appeared which caused my blood to boil in anger. "Now now don't look at me like that. I'm just doing what's best for us humans." The man bowed in front of me raising sightly his head with a sinister smirk.

"My name is Allen Jones. I speak on humanity's behalf, me and my people are here in order to examine each one of you and use you on your full capabilities. All this, for a better and more peaceful world." Peaceful world my ass... "Then I'll speak on behalf on everyone here. Whatever you just said was completely bullshit. You don't have the right to manipulate any of us! And you say this is for the world? Don't make me laugh!" I yelled as the man's eyes narrowed.

"So you believe that you monsters have a right to live? Do you think that you will be able to live peacefully in this world with the humans?" "Correct. That is my belief." I answered his question with a glare as his smile started to waver. "That's where you are wrong. Monsters and demons exist so to destroy humanity. We EXILE are here to put an order to this. What better than controlling them and using them for the sake of order?"

"You claim that this is for humanity, but who knows what your actual objective is. If you have found the power to control us then you would had surely found a way to destroy us. So my question is this... Why control us why you can just simply kill us?" "You are sharp." Spoke Allen now walking a little closer. "I get that often." I chuckled as he eyes shoot me daggers.

"Our objective is to control the monsters and demons for the sake of humanity, but not in the way you understood. We'll use you to wipe off the unnecessary and useless humans. The world just doesn't need unproductive people. Doing so, we are killing two birds with one stone. Destroying the trash of the human world while controlling the underworld." My eyes along with the rests opened wide. How could a human be so cruel...

"You humans... You can be the most cruel kind of creature..." I whispered as his eyes sharpener along with a smirk. "That's a fact. We humans, most definitely can be the cruelest creatures within the three realms."
