Arabella

Chapter 3

    Out in the open area was beautiful green grass and children playing games during recess. Homes surrounded the school which was open space with no gates. Arabella and Luke, twelve years old, sat beside each other eating lunch while everyone else was in the open field.
     "You know, Bella," Luke began, "Your hair grew quite long."
That was where she remembered him from.
     She rolled her eyes, "Yeah I get it, everyone thought it was ugly."
     "I think it's adorable," he mentioned to her, "And whoever has judged your hair in a bad way I do not like them and that is that." A smile spread wide across Arabella's face and the two of them just laughed along. It was different that time. The air felt more fresh and smelt great. There was a bright sun and beautiful blue skies. The feeling was great having to feel a little healthy, and knowing she had Luke by her side. But then the memory began to fade away, and she realized it was just a dream.

"Arabella," a whisper spoke, "Wake up!"
     She woke up to a jolt on her shoulders to seeing Adeline stare at her, "WAKE UP!!!" Everyone was already in a hurry to get ready. Arabella's heart was racing by now and she changed quickly into her new clothes. All gray and black. She began to notice how people have been running everywhere. In and out of the rooms, auditorium, girls and boys screaming just about everywhere. All The first thing that popped into her head was Luke, and she had to find him. People began to run out of the bunks where the demons ran past in.
     "We have to go now," Lexis said as she grabbed Arabella by the shoulders and ran out of the Girls' Dorm. Arabella stopped while Alexis began to run more, and saw what was with the chaos. Dead humans and fallen angels were running around everywhere. Their faces were half bloody half clean. The humans had more bruising, and bald hair. The fallen angels had faded black wings, and their veins popped out all purple and black as well as their skin being pale.
Arabella met Adeline by the other side where the Boys' Dorm was at. They weren't just demons or fallen angels, but it was a virus that was coming from the other side. The Forgotten. These people were not regular. They looked vicious and repulsive. They all watched everyone running everywhere, to and fro. Many people were being caught and chased.
     A screeching noise from inside of he the dorm was from a boy who was being chased by many of the Infected people.
     "Come on!!!" Arabella yelled for the boy to make it out before any more come closer. The boy ran as fast as he can towards the big doors where Arabella and Adeline waited. He tripped, and the runners were getting closer. Arabella then pulled him out of the room and the two girls shut and doors completely. Alarms went on louder and louder.

     Go to the laboratory.

A mysterious voice appeared in her head again but this time it wasn't Luke.
     "Thank you," the boy had been saying. He had spiky black hair and a narrow pale face. He looked around the age of thirteen and for some reason, he reminded her of her sister Rose.
     Arabella shut her eyes tightly, "No thank you.. For making it out before all of us died. Just follow me." The three teens ran to the test room and found Alex, the angel who guarded the gates to heaven.
     They gazed at each other but Arabella snapped out of it and ran for the medicine that was supplied in the cupboard. There was a thick lime green, orange, and an auburn serum that said The Cure. It was in a cylinder bottle.
     "What are you doing!!" Alex had screamed loud enough for her to hear.
     "I'm gonna take it!"
     Quickly, she took them out and ran to the auditorium again. Luke popped up in her head. She remembered how she was able  speak in his mind. Arabella squeezed her eyes shut and began to form a sentence word by word in her head. Harder and harder she tried her best to reach him, being able to hear his voice again.

Where are you.

Arabella tried her best to reach him. She waited for something to come back after a minute. All of a sudden she heard him speak:

Go across the cafeteria. There's a black door directly in the middle and you will see a line there. Hurry up, try to make it out of here.

"What do we do now?!" Amanda exclaimed while the two other girls waited upon her reaction. Arabella had no time but she was trying to focus on a black door. Screams and gurgly noises were spreading everywhere. Black door, black door. Right across the cafeteria she saw the black door and a line of people trying to get in.
     To speak over the chaos going on, Arabella screamed, "BLACK DOOR!!" The thirteen year old boy and the two girls ran as quick as they can trying to dodge the runners and attempted to go through.
     "You have to wait in line," one of the guards mentioned. He had angel wings, and it reminded her of those guards from the gate.
     Randomly before she could even say a word the familiar teenage voice spoke again, "Let her and her friends go through. She can save us." Arabella looked beside her seeing the dorky teenage guardian angel who was guarding the gate. He then looked down at her, "I remember you. You'll be seeing me more often."
     "Alexander right?" She questioned him, but he only ignored it and made a small path through to get into the plane where they would be setting off to go back to Earth.
     "Be careful out there," he warned them, "We'll all be watching you."
     She then felt a huge relief once she saw Albert, Chris, Noah and Luke. Lexis and Amanda were there too. It's been a day and she already felt a bond with them all. They were all strapped into the chairs lined up facing each other. There were rows at the end of the plane though.
     "Arabella," Luke said smiling, "You actually made it!"
She glared at him, "Actually?"
     She buckled herself in the seat which only the tip of her toes touched the floor. It was a comfortable metal seat. Blue was glowing through the holes, and cushions were black. Alexander then glanced once more at her signalling her to be careful once more. Then he shut it quickly once the plane was full and it gave a big shake inside of it. That was when it launched out. There were windows from next to each other, and all she saw next was war against evil. It hurt knowing that maybe her brother was there. Amalia. But then she remembered her little sister Rosie. She was out there by herself. Maybe then she'd be able to be back to protect her again.
     Arabella glanced at Luke and questioned him, "Look me in the eyes and tell me you remember me."
     He stared at her through the eyes closely, and began to remember the memories. From first meeting to being torn apart, getting brainwashed, and forgetting after the earthquake. Destruction took over and then he realized that it was her all along, "Bella?" Before she smiled, the plane crashed into something which made it more of a bumpy ride.
     It was part of the transfer to earth, switching dimensions, and everything around the survivors turned into a white color.
