The Angel of Death

CHAPTER ONE

I had been in here for six weeks now, since my now ex-fiance set me up to be caught by the soldiers. One last mission my ass, if the shadow let me out of here that little prick would be the first to go. 

I had almost managed to escape, which had never been done before. However when I got to the top of the wall that surrounds the prison, Eric my ex was waiting for me. And there was no way I was going to win that fight in my current condition.

"Get back in the cell, this is your punishment for disrespecting father."

"Why Eric? We had a life planned!"

"Your life belongs to the shadow"

And I had a dept to pay to the Shadow, so I put my hands up and waited for the soldiers to come and get me.

They think that I am crazy, what a joke. Fools dont understand what they are getting themselves into. The Shadow will never let me die. I was his daughter after all. Adopted or not.

My thoughts were interrupted when i heard the footsteps down the hall, maybe seven, no six people. One lighter set, indicating a female. Five males one female. When the door opened i looked up to check to see if I was right, six males and one female right on the mark. "Its not lunch then is it?"  I smirked at them, the woman frowned at me.

"Don't let her agrevate you, this is what demons do" the guard sneered at me, the woman was wearing healer marks, she must have demon in her as well. She held up her hand and closed her eyes, light radiated from her hand as she scanned my body.

"What do you feed her?" The woman turned to the guards,
"We don't feed her, were not stupid enough to make her strong you know not after the last escape attempt"
"Well you'll kill her if you don't shes extremely weak" I rolled my eyes, but deep down i knew that i was dying in this cell. Which if i was being frank wasn't such an undeserved end for me.
"We don't care if shes dying, they want to see her, is she well enough for that" the guard guestured at me.
The healer sighed, closed her eyes and started to heal me. I could feel my body getting stronger and energy rush though my veins.

"She'll make it through the meeting, but this is a temporary fix." The healer took one last look one last look at me and scurried out of the room. The guards undid my chains that kept me from moving and rechained them so that i was bound with my hands behind my back and my legs chained together.

They dragged me along the ground to another chamber, the chamber was bright and I had to blink several times before I could make out anything, six weeks in a dark padded cell hasn't really helped me much. When i could finally see the first thing i saw was my equipment, all two hundred weapons and my cloak. the room itself was open, exits everywhere, i spotted at least thirty possible escape routes. The prision I was at was actually on kingdom land. A dark and desolate place guarded by five hundred soldiers which had grown since i had been caught.

King Davern was the next thing I noticed. He was king over Saline, a rich, fat man who squandered all the money for himself while his kingdom suffered. He looking out towards the windows all the while popping grapes in his mouth, as if this place held anything pleasant to look at. This made me angry, how dare he sit ang enjoy his ritches while he let the rest of his kingdom burn. His son, Dean was leaning against the far left wall half in the shaddows and giving me a very nasty looking glare. Not to mention the armada of guards all wairly staring at me.

"Your still alive i see" The King commented lightly, i felt my anger bubble to the surface, the demon inside raged to the king that dared test my patience. i held my breath and closed my eyes.
"Still as fat as ever i see" the King laughed,
"Ah yes but a fat man is a happy man"
"Fat man cannot run fast enough" i snarled at his, this seemed to get his attention. He turned around to look at me.
"I got a message from the Shaddow, he told me to let you rot and i've been seriously considering it" My rage intensified and i felt like my malice was misting through the room. "I can feel your hatred for me burn." There was now a serious undertone in his voice, it was a tone that put me on edge.
"Your the one that put me here"  i spat towards him
"Your the one that got caught, dont be stupid by threatening my father" The Prince stepped out of the shaddows pointing a finger at me.
"Go on then kill me i dare you" i took a step towards the Prince, the guards tensed up, their hands going to their swords or bows. "Or are you all just chicken" The guards were getting angry, the Prince was angry, the king however was watching with interest. One guard with a sword came running forward, you dont have to kill him a small part of me whispered, you never have to kill anyone ever again. The shaddow was binning me, with the guard still coming at me, i didn't know what to do, how long had i been mindlessly following orders, burying my hatred for violence under duty. he swung his sword at me and i moved on instinct, my hand went to his neck and pinched, he dropped like a stone at my feet.

The Prince ran towards me his sword drawn, but it was the kings voice that stpped him.
"I have a proposition for you Angel of Death, i will grant you your freedom, but you must come and train in our main school, do the missions required of you and provide us with information" 

 

Freedom? That just sounds like another shaddow, however i could use them, gain their trust and then leave, run as far as i can.
