A Last Hope

CLANG!
     I jolted my head up at the sound. The room was dark but faint cheering was heard from someone outside it. I shivered and folded in my wings that it covered my shivering, meek body. I knew what was going on... any good spirt would or is facing this... angels, mermaids, fairies, and any other mythical creature is thrown into an arena and has to fight to the death with another creature, evil or good.  I looked around the cell and found a glimmering object, an Amulet. My eyes widened at this. No one ever leaves behind precious items like these! The cheering faded off into silence before a demon guard opened the door. "Cielo..." The guards voice was rough and scratchy. I hesitantly got up and walked over, wings still folded. He grabbed my wrist with much force that made me yelp. "Be quite you..." I bit my tongue from preventing myself from making any noise. We walked down a hall that was lit with torches. A voice was heard from somewhere beyond us. "Welcome demons and devils! For I have another contestant for you! She may not put up much a fight... but she's the LAST angel we have folks! Please welcome...CIELOOO!!"
    I was teleported into an arena I froze in place when the demonic creatures cheered, clapped, or howled in anyway they could to get the crowd excited. I glanced to my right the jumped at the sight. There, on the ground was a dead elf. A giant sword wound in her chest. I looked back to be challenged by a demon. His black bat wigs out ready to grab me and throw me into the earth. A sharp sword dangled from a belt. I tied the amulet around my neck and prepared to fight. "GET READY!.. SET!... GOOOOO!" The announcer shouted and I was already grabbed and taken into the sky. As we started to plummet to the ground I mumbled something under my breath causing the amulet to shoot a lighting bolt at the demon. He was shot a few feet away from me and I took to the sky. "SHIMTARAS!" I shouted an a glimmering sword appeared at my disposal. I quickly grabbed just in time as our swords clashed together. Gasps, awes, and oohs were heard from the crowd.
"Well folks look like unknown strength as emerged from Cielo! This is a giant turn of events! The tables can turn if she keeps this up!!"  The announcer was right... I could turn this loss into a victory... I pulled away my sword and swung at his legs piercing the side. He shouted in pain. He charged at me and I  tried dodged but got grabbed from the sky and pulled down to the ground. My sword fell out of my hand. The demon approached slowly. His lips curved into and psychotic smile. "Any last words...?" He said as if testing me. I looked up at him as some blood dribbled down my lips. "Only a few... Buh bye..." I grabbed the amulet around my neck and closed my eyes tightly. "I may have fallen but only have started... now it's time to end my final curtain..." I whispered under my breath and a bright light shown from the amulet. I floated over him and opened my eyes. My eyes were fully white and glowing. "Surprise...." was the last thing I said to him as a blast of light fell on him. Everyone covered their eyes and only utter silence was heard except the sound of the blast. Once everything died down and the light was gone, everyone opened their eyes and gasped were heard all around. "She.. she did it! And our winner is Cielo!!" A chorus of cheers were heard. I opened my now back to normal eyes to see everyone cheering. I only did a bow as I was teleported back to my cell. Walking back to my straw bed I thought, "Everyone's counting on me to free them now that I beat that demon... I got to find a way out..."
