The Fallen

Chapter 14

Danielle came open to a small open field. A man was sitting on a log facing away from her. "Hey Dallon." Danielle said walking closer to him. He looked behind him and spotted Danielle. "Hey. How it's been?" He asked standing up, towering over her. Taylor quickly got to her knees hiding behind a bush. Where they stood was out of earshot from Taylor, but she couldn't get closer without getting spotted. "It's been a day. Not that bad." She said smiling up at him. "Well let me explain what's going to happen. You know the plan so no need going over that."

"I just need a way out."

"Which I have young lady." Dallon reached into his pocket, fiddling around till he found what he was looking for. "I present to you," He rip his hand out of his pocket and hold up a single golden ring. "Your way out of hell." He said relaxing his hand.

"A ring?" Danielle asked. She picked it out of Dallon's hand and examined it. It had curving lines that connected around the ring and had a pair of Angel wings and Demon wings right across from each other.

"Not just any ring. This is your way out." He said confidently.

"How does it work?" She asked holding it up to eye level. It looked normal.

"If you put it on it will take you up. Very easy to work."

"Well i'm not going up, now. So what's my way in?" She asked putting the ring in her pocket.

"Well, Danielle. This is what this is for." He said pulling out a purple bag that was tied with a rope. "This contains dust. Put it on the ground in a circle, and when the moon is at its highest point a pit will open just for a minute going straight to the depths of hell." He said.

"How are you so confident that this will work?"

"Well it all come from the old women herself."

"Of course. Does she not have a name?"

"We all do. She just chooses not to tell."

"Well let's get this trip started." Danielle said looking away from Dallon.

"Right." He said gripping the bag before opening it. Inside it was basically sand, but the normal tan color was replaced with black and red. Dallon grab a handful out of the bag. It already falling out of his hand. Dallon went around in a circle dropping the dust onto the ground. He finished with a sigh and beat his hands together getting the rest off. 11:55. Five more minutes.

"Just in time." Danielle said getting off the log that Dallon was once on. "Now we just wait for the magic to happen." He said putting the almost empty bag into his vest. Danielle wanted to ask something, but she was scared to. Danielle mentally slap herself to giver herself the courage to ask. "What will happen to me if he get's me? She asked. Dallon knew who she was talking about, and he couldn't promise he would have mercy. Dallon looked at her but couldn't. How were you supposed to tell someone that she could be erased from existence? To be just dust in a second if she makes a mistake. "I can't promise you what he will do. If he finds you to be useful he will not...end you." He said hesitantly. Danielle knew that he wouldn't find her of any use. He turned her down when she even enter the world of the dead. 11:58. Danielle took a deep breath. She needed to come back. Taylor watch worriedly. She couldn't hear anything they were saying. They were just standing their looking at the ground. She was tempted to leave, because it seemed like nothing was going to happen. The ground started to shake. Taylor griped the ground and looked to the two who were unfazed. A loud roar filled the air. It sounded like the world was getting rip apart. A red glow came from the ground only a couple of inches away from the two. "Wish me good luck." Danielle said to Dallon. Dallon nodded his head while mumbling the words. Danielle looked into the deep hole expecting to see something. But all she saw was red. She let out a breath. She took a couple of steps back, preparing herself. She couldn't back down. Her hands were in fist. She let out another breath before sprinting forward. The ground was no longer there as she plunged into the depths of hell. Taylor watched from the bush as Danielle disappeared into the Earth. "Fuck it!" She screamed as she hurled towards the crack in the Earth. "What the hell!?" Dallon screamed as Taylor fell into the Earth. Before Dallon could do anything the rip in the Earth closed shut behind them as they plummeted to the ground.
