Fallen Angels

Chapter Two

I walk through the beautiful, brightly colored woods, carefully coordinating my way to the secret place written on the note. In the distance I can hear more mercenaries flying my way, their wings flapping deeply and heavily, gaining on me. I quietly slow my breathing and I hide under the canopy of the trees as they pass above me at incredible speeds. As they are past me and out of site I start quickly tracking myself to the hidden Place on the note. I reach the biggest tree in the forest, over a hundred feet tall, it's girth so big, two guys couldn't even wrap around it. As I close in on it I can notice a small, hardly noticeable outline of what seems to be a hidden door. I gently stroke my hand against the hard, seemingly real tree bark, the dagger that James gave me vibrating. I gently and curiously pull it out of my packet where I had it holstered temporally, the blade now a bright glowing color, the symbols on the blade tinted with dark red blood. I can hear a shifting in the tree and I unlocking sound as a hidden door slowly and silently opens as guys wearing white, tight leather armor rush out, symbols on their neck which seem to lead down their arms and torso, grabbing me and pulling me in. The door shuts behind me, several different locks locking them self with the use of magic, then a flash of white quickly shining, almost like it was sealing the door. Stairs leading down under the ground ahead of me, a brick wall, the man holding my arms tightly, guiding me down them. As we reach the bottom, my eyes widen as I see a huge open and tall room. Balconys curving around the top and rooms on everyside. Stairs leading to the Balconys and rooms above, straight ahead of me. Then I hear wings flapping and I glimpse of a women shaped figure flying off the balcony and landing behind the men surrounding me

"Who are you and why are you here" Says a women, making a opening in the men in front of me and stepping closer, different tinted armor on, a dagger attached to her side belt and a sword in its holster on the other side. A bow across her back.

"I-im leo, I saved James from mercenaries who were trying to kill him.. but..."

"But what..?" She says in a voice of compassion and worry

" One of the mercenaries ripped off one of his wings. I killed the mercenaries and he gave me a note with the coordinates to here on them. He also gave me his dagger and his ring" I say, staring deeply in her eyes.

"Shit.. he's a fallen angel now.. well leo, welcome to the LKT now. You shall fill his position" She says as I examine the tint of hurt and depression of loosing James in her eyes.

"What do I do?" I say curios

"First you fight for the good, we are against the curruption in the council and we are going to overcome them, we shall restore the piece.." She said confidently.

"So that's why the mercenaries are after you all..!"

"Yes.. now go get some rest and we will talk later" She says pointing towards one of the doorways. The men let go of my arms and I walk to the doorway she pointed to, the walls all brick and beautifully placed together. I walk into the room to find a bed with red sheets and pillow, a small fireplace on the opposite side of the room from the bed. Bookshelfs full of books on each side of the bed. I take off my shoes and I pull the covers of the bed off and I lay in the bed and I pull the covers over me, falling alseep.
I hear a huge bang as my eyes fly open, I look around me and I find myself in a car, riding in the backseat down a country road In the human realm, snow gently falling onto the ground. I hear the car brakes slam as everything seems like its in slow-mo, the car savagely swirving, hitting another head on, glass slowly shattering everywhere, I see a women in the passenger front seat screaming as I look over seeing a small boy in a car seat beside me as everything goes black and I wake up screaming, in the bed I have fallen alseep in. The women from before beside me, rubbing the side of my arm comfortingly

"Are you okay!?" She says worried

"Yeah... just... a bad dream" I say, panting with a little fear. As I think about it... was it just a dream, or a vision of my past. Whatever it was, I didn't like it.

"Here you go" Says the women as she gives me white leather armor, with a belt to hold my dagger and a sword. She get up and walks out, closing the door behind her as I get up and I look at the armor, lightly heavy and spotless of any dirt. I strip myself of the clothes I have on and I put the armor on, looking at myself. "Dam" I say to myself as I walk to the door, opening it and hearing a defining bang and arrows flying everywhere. I see red, clotted blood on the ground and fresh new blood, mixing together as members of the LKT run past the hallway, daggers in hand, some already stained with blood. Out of now where I get this vibrant feeling of darkness and desire to fight back as my wings sprout out and I fly above the others and out the hallway, landing on the balcony of the room I first entered upon finding this masonry palace of good souls. As I land on the balcony my heart sinks at the sight of blood everywhere, mercenaries  piling in, the LKT members fighting back. Wings ripped up and everywhere across the ground, Ash spreading across the room, I quickly grab a bow from a ash pile of an LKT member. I then fight back, pulling the bow string tightly back and releasing it, shooting the devastating arrows right into the painfully ignorant heads of the mercenaries. Killing around ten, one spots me and shoots an arrow at me, everything happening all at once, so fast it looks slow and I bend just enough for it to hit me painfully in the shoulder, pain shooting through me. I fall back and onto the ground of the balcony, the leader grabing me and helping me make my way into the balcony hallway, away from the fighting. Hearing the tragic screams of pain behind us, the screams, the pleads, then it all just silently going away, fading, the mercenaries winning. We make our way down some sets of stairs, leading to a hidden door on the ground, the leader chants something and it opens, showing a drop of about twenty feet to a small, but deep river under an overpass of land that the giant base runs over. She pushes me down, shocked, my breath hitches and I hit the water, landing on my back painfully, stinging shooting through me as I hear a splash beside me.
