Born In Hell

30

*You know back to Belle or whatever.*

"Ah ficus," I said rolling off the plant.

One branch embedded itself in my back and let me just tell you that was not a satisfying feeling. I twisted around and slowly pulled it out and threw it down. There would be no blood or anything, but there will be pain.

Limbo is almost like a timeout within a timeout. Meaning double the trouble. I can't feel my legs and my lungs are shriveled up and my throat was closed. I could just feel my energy fading away from me so I need to find Amia-

"Scraaaaeeecht," some little shriveled up creature screeched latching onto my back.

I twisted out of its hold and threw it to the ground. It clawed on my leg trying to get up, but I stomped it until it stopped moving.

"Fucker."

I started walking away heading to the safe zone. Hopefully Amia found it. It's the one place there isn't any creatures out trying to attack you. And another one just latched onto me.

Let's just say that happened every three minutes and it took me what felt like a day to get to the safe zone. My body is throbbing, scratched up and I'm dying from hunger and thirst, but it's fine. I'll be fine.

"Help me," some little girl cried out from a tree.

I looked up at the girl and she was bleeding from both ears and her eyes were torn out. It was obviously bait. I wouldn't be dumb enough to fall for it. It was tempting. Not that tempting though.

When I reached the safe zone I knew she was definitely here. She made little marks in the ground. They led up somewhere and back to the safe zone. If I wanted I'd just follow the marks, but I'll wait until she returns and she will.

I was so tired and I felt my eyes become heavy, but I had to fight that. Sleeping in limbo is like asking to be attacked. I thought limbo was about to have me, but the funniest thing happened.

"Get off," Amia growled. A creature skidded past me and screeched clawing on the ground. "No don't leave now."

It ran away and she was about to run after it, until she saw me. She looked confused like she was trying to tell if it was really me or not.

"Is this a trick?" I shook my head and she came over latching herself on here. "Finally, it was about time you came. Can we please go?"

"Yes. But first where is your body?"

"At the fallens place. They have it guarded and one of them is always next to it."

I huffed and nodded. "Okay that's fine, I can still get you. No problem, I just need you to focus on getting yourself there and I'll help guide you back."

She got nervous and I'm not exactly sure why. I know she wants to go, but she can't if she doesn't help me out and Belle doesn't want to be here any longer. I've had enough time here. If now wasn't enough the few months I spent here years ago was.

"What's wrong?"

"What if they do something when I wake up," she said in a small scared voice.

I knitted my brows trying to think of something. "It'll be fine, just let me worry about it. When you're back just go to Death. You'll be safe there, you have him and lucifer. If he stayed."

"Lucifer is there," she said like she would rather just stay here.

Now I know I'm just finding out all of this and it's new to me, but I'm pretty positive she has never met him. I know for sure mother wouldn't bring her there or anywhere close. This would be all kind of strange, exciting, but nerve wrecking.
