The Dark Hour

--------Astrid--------

I sighed and dusted the dirt off of me. I slipped down a few hallways. I saw a shadow and quickly slipped into a room, I froze when the lights turned on.

"Who are you?" A guys voice said. I slowly turned and saw a guy with black hair and he had black wings.

"Uh I uh are you Aio?" He sighed and stood up.

"Yes, but that doesn't answer my question."

"Uh I'm Astrid, Lucifer's niece."

"You look much different but do you have the bottle?" I nodded and pulled it out of my bag and tossed it to him. He nodded.

"So why are you here?"

"Lucifer said that you would help me find who I'm looking for."

"Who are you looking for?"

"I'm here for the angels, Lucifer said that you owned him." He nodded.

"They would be in the dungeons unless they are upstairs with Aaron. He's using the sword to corrupt them to make them do his bidding."

"That's horrible! Why does he want to corrupt them?!"

"Look I'm only supposed to show you where they are, I don't have time to answer all your questions." I lowered my head and nodded. I followed him out of the room and we went down a few stairs. "Here you go, look around." He said leaving.

"Hello? Seto?! Any other angel that was on the mission?" I asked but some what whispered.

"Hey, over here!" A girl called out quietly. I walked towards the voice and looking into the cell, it was dark in there so I could barely make out anything.

"Is everyone okay?"

"No, Seto's hurt. He got hurt trying to keep them from taking Cassie. He's sick and need medical attention," A guys voice sighed. I nodded and stepped back some and used my magic to blow the cell door open. It fell off the hinges and I walked in and went over to Seto. He was hurt pretty bad. I pulled out my phone and called Ryan.

"Where are you?!" I asked as soon as he picked up.

"Um in a dark hallway. Why?"

"Cause I need you down in the cells, Seto's hurt and you're the only one that knows healing magic."

"Okay I'll find you in a bit just hang in there make sure that he doesn't have any infections." I sighed and hung up.

"Does he have an infection with the gash he has?"

"I haven't looked. He hasn't woken up for a few days," The guy said a bit worried. "He has a fever, and he's been having fever induced drea- well nightmares."

"I told you he might not make it," The other guy sighed.

"Shut up Addison!" The girl snapped. "At least he tried to help Cassie, you just sat there and did nothing."

"Guys stop it," The first guy sighed. "This is not helping anything."

"No it's not helping at all let me see the gash." I said sitting on the ground next to him. I made a light orb so I can see what I was doing.

"I've tried to help with his fever but it just keeps going up. Tyler used his shirt to wrap it up before they took him so it didn't get any dirtier," He sighed as he carefully unwrapped the long strip of fabric from around Seto's chest. He finally got it off and the girl gasped. The area around the gash was bright red and there was pus leaking out of the gash itself. I bit my bottom lip, if he has an infection Ryan can't use his magic. I groaned and I got up and looked out the door and I saw a figure at the door.

"Ryan?" I called.

"Found you guys!" He said happily. I walked over to him, and handed him my beads.

"Take my last thing of beads and get Seto out of here. He has an infection and you can't heal it." He nodded, and we went into the room. Ryan got Seto and smashed my beads and they left. I sighed now I just have to find Lalna. I walked back up the stairs and looked in some rooms with the lights off. Where could he be?
