SHIRO [Book One] (on hold)

Chapter 9: Portal To The Underworld

Thank you Voadoro for the banner!

After plenty of crying and sobbing, we decided to stop and finally start saving the Universe;
"Lord Roiyaru, Lady Lucky, Lord Ace, and Lady Shiro, " Herupu announced. (I was really embarrassed about being called "Lady")
"Uh... Please just don't call me "lady"..." I embarrassedly twirled the tip of my blonde hair.
"It's going to open up!" Hikaru warned Herupu.
"Wait! So we are going to end the terrifying Demon's Possession." Herupu exclaimed.
"Herupu!" Hikaru loudly thumped.
"What? Ugh! It will be hard but-" Herupu tried to speak as Hikaru kept interrupting.

Suddenly I felt dizzy. Really dizzy... The world was spinning around me; I was about puke! My face and my expression slowly darkened to a faint purple, my chest was blocking my breathing, I tried to scream but I couldn't. I tried, I boomed, I lunged with all the tiny air left in the edge of my body. I suddenly felt light. It felt like I could fly without having to use my wings but instead of flying up, it felt like flying down; I couldn't control myself. All I could do was think. "Is this what it feels to die?" I wondered. In a matter of seconds, I couldn't even think. Everything was just pitch black. I unconsciously tried to lift up my arm, but, I couldn't see it; my arm. I couldn't sense it either. I fell and fell into the bleak nightmare deeper each mili second; I had fainted.

Smell... There was smell! I was starting to gain consciousness over my fainted body. Unfortunately and fortunately it was the worst smell I had smelled in years! The unfortunate part is very clear. Fortunately, it was so bad that I rapidly woke up from my deep deep slumber.

I gained consciousness. But everything was dark. Were my eyes even working properly? I tried to stand up, but, I didn't have enough energy. I was more than exhausted. I was fatigued! Standing up would waste would all of my tiny stock of energy; I had to crawl. I kneeled down slamming my hands on the floor. Ouch! It had hurt! I lift up my right hand making a fist. It was wet. I clearly wasn't in contact with water. My hands were hurting; it was blood.

The floor seemed as hard as a rock. I assumed it was made out of bricks. But my confusion went up as soon as felt this squishy, watery surface. Was it mud?

Light... Light! Red light? Was that even light? Well, it didn't matter but thanks to the "light", I could finally see where I was.

There were small cottages filling out the terrifying place, the sky had a wine-ish color, the "villagers" had red, fiery eyes, some had red some had black tails which ended with mini "swords". They had a strange and uncomfortable type of aura. I knew where I was. I just didn't want to believe my eyes! I was in HELL!

Hell? No no... I had to be having a nightmare. For sure! Where would the rest of the team be? Of all the places why hell? Ugh!

I spotted a trio of beings... Devils! They had spotted me too! I sluggishly used all of my forces to get up and run. My feet rapidly yet clumsily, made it's way further and further into the dusty alley I was in. I quickly looked back; they were still following me! Their wiggling yet runner legs dashed towards me like furious cheetahs hunting for their prey! That thought didn't make things better.  I was looking back and running, looking back and running. I couldn't stop to breathe, my eyes were itching in exhaustion but I was still running. If I wasn't that tired, I would be able to fly. But no! I had to run. I closed my eyes for a split second and there were more of them! Wait... More of them? Or had they just separated? Two of them in front of me and one behind me... How could they have separated that fast? It was time to use my last resort; I had to fly!

I was fatigued, my red eyes' bags grew bleaker every moment, sweat beads covered my still purple face, I could bearly breathe but I had to try and fly!

I opened my wings and flapped them as hard as I could. I was finally one meter above the unholy ground. I flapped harder and harder I was now about two meters above the ground. Now all I had to do was fly away. I stretched my wings and forced my self to rapidly swore throw the skies of the underworld. Well... I wish I did. But as soon as tried to fly away, I shook. My limits were too over pasted. I couldn't even move! I was now beyond fatigued. If a word beyond that even exists! I straightly fell down with my eyes wide open unconsciously watching the devils take me away...

Everything was pitch black... I couldn't see a thing... But... Well... I was alive. I wasn't tired. I  was clearly not possessed... Wait... But that didn't make sense. The devils had caught me. I was supposed to be possessed or dead or something really bad must have happened to me. It just did not make any sense!

I heard some noises... Some chitter chatting was going on. I held my breathing tight and opened my ears...
"Ok. I'll go and wake her up."
"She will be so surprised!"
"Now she will be one of us back again..."
