Fallen

Chapter 36

Lisandra gazed down at the yard below the balcony listlessly for what had to be the fourth time that day, it had been about a week since she had been injured and Zion still refused to let her out of the room. He had also yet to change back to his normal mostly human appearance but she could tell he was more mentally stable now, he no longer had his fires out and his fingers had returned to their original shade instead of black. He must have also moved her the first day while she was sleeping because when she had woken up she was in an even larger room even more lavishly decorated with furnishings and an even bigger bed that she was practically swimming in.

Sighing heavily she leaned back and went back inside while shutting the doors behind her, she desperately wanted to get outside and do something but Titus had left her alone for a few hours so she couldn't ask him. Since she had also been told that she was not to practice or even let her angelic powers out she felt like she was going to burst at any moment, looking to the double doors at the far end of the room she wandered towards them for the umpteenth time. So many times she had been tempted to open those doors and just start wandering until she found either Titus or Zion, even Amattias would have been welcome as he had been the one helping her dress and do her hair for the past week.

This time however she felt the intense need to just get out of the room before she was suffocated to death, taking a deep breath she reached for one of the handles and pulled on it. To her delight she found that the door opened easily for her, as it had been a slight fear that she would find it locked with the protectiveness that both angels had shown, hesitantly poking her head out of the room to take a peek outside. On both sides of the doors were two giant flaming wolves that stood on two paws that reminded her of the wolves she had seen at the conference with the hunters, only they had flames going from their foreheads all the way down the backs of their bodies. The one to her left had a more black colored pelt with stunning white flames and four red eyes while the one on her right had a more ashen colored pelt with light blue flames and four blazing blue eyes, both of them stood at what had to be roughly the same height as Zion which still overshadowed her meager five foot four.

They spoke in demonic so she had no idea what they were saying and only Amattias so far had been able to speak English with a thick accent, looking up to the one she had started calling Kail, because according to Zion most lower demons didn't have names, with the blue flames he had turned so his head looked down to her. He spoke in demonic in a low tone and she recognized the words for hungry, and lady, which apparently all the demons were calling her 'Lati Lizzadra'. She was sure before long they would be able to pronounce her name right as Amattias always corrected them, shaking her head she spoke while making gestures so that they could try and understand her.

"I'd like to go for a walk? Down there?" She pointed down the hallway and he turned his head the way she pointed, one of his long ears on his head flicking before he looked back to her and shook his head. Letting out a sigh she chewed on her lip in thought trying to figure out a way she could get out of the room, glancing up at Kail she spoke again.

"Can you get Amattias?" Both his ears flicked that time and he bowed his head to her in understanding. When he moved down the hallway she smiled brightly before turning to the one she called Avenon and said hello, to which he bowed his head in greetings, before she went back inside and shut the door. She was excited now, Titus and Zion trusted the massive demon around her even alone so she was sure that they wouldn't mind if he showed her around. It didn't take long for there to be a knock and having quickly learned that nobody would come in unless she said so she told them to come in and the tall demon ducked into the room.

"I am told you called for me, my lady?" She felt her face flush at that, no matter how many times they called her that she still wasn't used to the old timey way he talked or the way they all called her a lady, but she had grown used to the guards at the doors and Amattias' appearance at least.
