Falling To Pieces

Her light lavender hair sat perfectly at her hips, not a single piece out of place, her body was flawless and had no imperfections, yet her violet eyes showed great pain and fear- fear of the man standing in front of her.  His dark eyes piercing into her soul, like a needle through skin. His lips formed into a menacing smile as he spoke,

“My dear Hunter, you can’t fly away from me”

The dark figure snickered, Hunter’s wings tensed tighter around her small frame, she slowly stepped back with caution taking into account the sheer drop behind her.

 “Now now Hunter, no need for suicide, it would be such a waste”

He said all too calmly. Hunter was still silent; she began to unfold her wings making her more vulnerable to the threat before her, her black full-length lace dress slowly swaying around her bare feet.

“It would not be a waste, merely an excuse for you to fall into the depths of hell; it would be your entire fault, your fault that I die”

Hunter sneered, exposing her fangs, her wings extending on either side of her.

 “Hunter dear, you’re completely overreacting; I am trying to help you”

“HELP ME! YOU DESTROYED ME, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLY HELPING?” Hunter screamed viciously, tears threatening to fall.

Hunter took a deep breath and stepped back, letting the tears go as she fell.

*TWELEVE YEARS EARLIER*

“Hunter get back here, right now!”

Hunter’s mother called from across the park. Hunter, being only four, thought her mother was playing chase with her, so ran and hid behind a large tree.

“HUNTER”

Her mother screamed, Hunter knew that tone, her mother was very angry with her, she began make her way back around tree, but not before a stranger kneeled in front of her.

“Why Hello my dear, would your name be Hunter by any chance?’

The strange man smiled, Hunter nodded her head, unsure of what was happening.

“Thank God Hunter, I have been looking for you every where”

The man made a fake sigh of relief.

“Why?”

Hunter questioned. The strange man went on to tell Hunter about how she was a long lost fairy princess, and he was going to take her back to her castle, Hunter just kept nodding and smiling widely. The man introduced himself as Lucifer Savage. Lucifer Savage was crazy, or so people said. Lucifer was determined to successfully graft and alter human beings; he had tried many times but failed every time. Hunter, was his next subject.
