Moonrisen Angel

Chapter 16- Compliance

Heyy everyone! So I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while, I needed to start brainstorming some ideas otherwise this story would have no action, which would suck.

Listening to Not the American Average- Asking Alexandria

"Wow." Ezra replied after the kiss broke. His eyes were dazed almost, he was hung up. Rolling my eyes, smiling out of joy, I hugged him.

"I'm glad your back again. I was getting lonely." I laughed. He smiled shyly.

Despite our situation, this was time for a celebration. Yes, while we were trapped in a prison by our own people. I had a feeling Ledger would be coming back, and when he did, we'd been in his servitude.

Just like that, I heard heavy footsteps approaching in the dimly lit chamber. A small dripping noise was heard, like water dripping from stalegmites and stalegtites. Eerie silence overtook the cave, giving away to Ledger's presence.

 Instantly, all the others here bowed to one knee. Here's how I know they didn't come here by choice. Even if Ledger had managed to convince us all, most Moonrisen Angels wouldn't bow out of loyalty like that, most Moonrisens Angels are rebellious and stubborn, giving a I don't bow to anyone but myself attitude. So, what had been done to gain the Moonrisen's loyalty and obedience?

 Ledger approached, dressed in a fitted white tee and dark pants, his military boots clicked on the floor, in a crisp mannered way. His shaggy dark hair fell over his eyes, concealing his face in the shadows, but the dim light gave away he was here on business and there was no time for games.

"I trust our newest guests are comfortable." He said in a low voice to us. Ezra growled, and somehow his hand grazed over mine. He tightened his squeeze on my hand.

"Ledger, I trust you have something to tell us, if you're going to waste keeping us here." Ezra, to my surprise growled in anger. I looked at him, his eyes were wild with rage, and he glared at Ledger, unmoving.

"Oh, so the deranged partner speaks? Interesting, seeing as your girlfriend had to do all the work here."

Wait. Girlfriend? That's not the relationship yet.

"You speak to her, you speak to me...Ledger. Don't act like you don't remember me, because you know you do." Ezra replied angrily.

"You know this psycho?" I asked panicked. He nodded.

"This psycho, Ledger is a Fallen Angel, cast to Hell for various Earthly crimes. He was one of the very first Angels to fall. He's dangerous, and I'm sorry I didn't see who he really was sooner. He tried to turn me to a Nomad or Rogue Angel. That's probably why he got all the Moonrisens here, he turned them all to Dark Angels! Like I almost did. He's gotten them to turn." Ezra muttered angrily.

"Well, well, well, I'd hoped your insanity would last longer, so that you wouldn't yell to the world my story. If I had my Angel Powers, I would've made sure that insanity lasted. But no matter, you're both exactly how I want you." He smiled evilly.

"Oh, Ledger if you think we'll both be you're bitches, you're clearly are crazy." Ezra hissed, gripping the bars of the cell.

But Ledger didn't look moved. Typical.

"Oh, I think you will Ezra. Guards, grab the girl!"

They grabbed me, and I struggled, biting and screaming, scared as hell of what they were going to do to me. Then, using Angel magic, someone must've knocked me out. As the blackness consumed me, I heard Ezra's cries for me. I only wished I could've answered back.

*******************************************************

 I awoke in blackness. As my eyes adjusted I realized I was strung to ropes by my arms and legs hanging from the low roof of the cavern. My black angel wings were bound together by magic, paralyzing them. I couldn't move.  I tasted blood in my mouth, when I realized my entire body was red flushed with blood.

"You've spent too much time on Earth, my sweet Evaline. Under the servitude of Sunbounds, living as a human by day?" He clicked with his tongue. "Tsk, tsk, you shouldn't have crossed my path this way Evaline, why couldn't you just comply? Join the side you belong in, like the others, they were so easy to comply." He sighed wistfully, then grew angrier. "And then there's you and the other traitor."

 Though I couldn't see him, complete darkness surrounding the perimeter of this place. I heard him switch a lever, and white hot pain consumed me. I couldn't think, high-pitched screams, my own ricocheting off the chamber walls. Once the pain subsetted, I heard a cry of sorrow. Ezra. No. He couldn't be here to hear this.

"I decided to let your little friend come and watch the show. Until you die, or he agrees to do my bidding with you. So relax and enjoy the show Ezra." A scream of rage echoed off after he said this. It broke my heart to hear Ezra had to suffer. But I couldn't concentrate long. It was non-stop pain, my screams all that pounded through my ears. Just pass out! I willed my body. Finally, just as I was drowsing off, red-hot pain seering through my limbs and nerves, Ezra finally called out, his voice tortured and broken.

"FINE! WE'LL DO IT, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST STOP HURTING HER!" He screeched, desperate.

"Good, your job will be to get back to Earth, and then you will bring down the entire Sunbound Angel race to Hell, where we will kill them. You will use this device to channel magic strong enough to paralyze them so they can quickly be transported here. Then after that, you and girlfriend are free. My word of promise." Ledger replied, victory clear in his voice.

But I couldn't let them win, I had a job and I'd die trying. I'd willingly die before I did Ledger's bidding.

"No! Ezra, you can't!"

But the pain was too much, and once again blackness overcame me.
