~The Dark Angel~

Part two of the beginning

Adrienne hesitates to take the old man's hand and she backs away as the butterfly flies off. old man tilts his head "c'mon Adrienne" old man said. Adrienne's eyes widen as most people in her town don't know her "w-who are you sir?" she asked scared and the old man chuckles as he gets up and grabs her arm. "just a old friend of your father" he said as he pulls the girl but Adrienne screams as the town's people looks at them. "Aww c'mon don't make a sense" he said as Adrienne keep yelling for help. "Hey! Let the little girl go!" said a mid age man. the old man starts to laugh "Haha you dumb mortals don't know anything about this girl, do you?" he said as he chuckles. "we know that you're hurting this innocent little girl" said the mid-age man angrily. "You wanna see the truth about this little girl? well let me show you....." as he said that, he pulls cloak off of her, revealing wings. The town's people gasp as Adrienne keeps squirming to get free but the old man lets go of her and she blinks then she looks at the town's people, frozen in fear. "I-it's a demon!" said one villager. "let's get her!" they start walk toward her but she takes off running, She could fly off but she like a baby bird, don't know how to fly. The people starts throwing rocks and some chase her.

when everyone was gone, chasing little Adrienne. The old man chuckles as he removes his hat, revealing demon horns. "oh little Adrienne, you would make a wonderful soldier in my army...soon" and with that, he walks away.

Later that day, it was already gone dark as Adrienne manage to get away from the mob. she cried as she was covering in bruises. she was hiding in a stinky old alley way, alone and cold. "I want to go home" she whispers to herself, shivering. She wraps her wings around herself for warmth, she wish she was in her mother's arms, safe and sound. Footsteps were heard as Adrienne flinches and she shakes in fear. She looks up to see the old man and she tries screams but old man covers her mouth. "hiya Adrienne" he said as he smirks as Adrienne squirms.

Adrienne's mother was wondering the streets, searching for Adrienne as she shivers. "Adrienne! sweetie!" she coughs. She heard Adrienne's scream and her eyes widen "Adrienne!" she starts running. she runs into an alley and finds Adrienne, passed out as she got cuts on her and black feathers everywhere. the mother gasps and tears up "Adrienne? Adrienne?!" She yells and picks her up and hoping she would respond but there was only silence, as Adrienne's body doesn't even move an inch and she was cold. the poor mother starts to cry, as she the sight of her dead child. moments later the girl's hand twitch as Adrienne slowly opens her eyes "mommy?" she whispers as her mother's eyes widen and she looks at Adrienne and hugs her tightly. "oh my sweet daughter you're okay!" she yelled, still crying but tears of joy. Adrienne smiles as she hugs her mother tightly. the mother gets up, stilling hold her "don't ever run off like that, ok?" said the mother and Adrienne nods. "good, now get home and warm you up" the mother walks away as Adrienne slowly falls asleep.

The old man watches them from roof as he smirks "step 1 complete.... now on to step 2" he smirks as he jumps off of roof and walks away.
