Lightning 2.0
Chapter 1
Unknown Thunder
Lightning crashed through the sky and no sooner did the thunder rumble and I could've swore I felt the blacktop vibrate, lights flickered all over the world and in a blast of pure energy so strong it nearly knocked me flat then she was standing before me as beautiful as the sun with a grace as unearthly as her origins. She said my name in a voice like the tinkling of bells "Marcus" and another flash of lightning splintered the sky and she was gone. I shivered out of cold and turned to run home. Just as suddenly as the rain begun the sky cleared and the lightning left but something was wrong there was still the thunder rumbling the ground it made me sick with worry and suddenly I was falling through the air all I could see was the sky above me. I could clearly hear the voices of my past whispering in my ear but I couldn't stop no matter how hard I try, I grappled for edges on the wall. I blinked and in an instant the girl falling towards me gaining on me I took a better look and realized that she wasn't falling she was flying her wings bigger than her body. I heard a rough and coarse roar behind me and a blackened arm circled around my chest it was large and spiked I winced in pain and realized that I was no longer falling I was being pulled deeper into the chasm. I looked up again and watched as the girls face transformed from beauty to savage determination I watched entranced as she dived deeper into the hole that was closing around me and something appeared in her palm something that looked extremely sharp. I panicked screaming and kicking hard, "I want to be free I don't want to die!" I screamed until my voice was hoarse but I wouldn't stop. I looked to my sides and screamed harder as I saw the souls of the damned clawing at me I suddenly realized where the voice were coming from not my past but my present I looked up again and the girl was just above me and she lunged down further slicing the arm holding me dragging me lower into the ground. A furious shriek of pain sounded from behind me followed by a victorious battle cry from the young girl and just as fast as I was falling I was rising her hand curled in my sweater as she pulled me higher out of the hell hole I was falling into. Finally having a chance to breath I took a better look at my savior she looked no older than I was sixteen maybe seventeen. Another furious roar erupted from bellow us and she doubled her efforts flying higher and harder, with a huff she soared out of the hole pulling me with her finally after a few vicious swears she set me down on the ground and sat beside me.
