Hell And Back Again
Hi! I'm a hungarian student, who learn english 2 years ago. I know my grammar isn't the best, but the fact, I wrote a story in english language, that's meaning something great to me. So I please, just carefully with the reviews, and the Critics.
Prologue
As the Sun started to going down, the demon hunter, John is lied down to his bed. He was tired, as he never was before. The minutes were spent, but he didn't move. He just looked the gray ceiling, and thought of the girl, in the next room.
She was dying, even so she make terrible noises. Exactly, somebody make terrible noises who stayed in the girl, an ungodly spirit who came up from the Hell to corrupt the world. John knew that. He knew exactly, who is that demon. And he knew what is coming, if the girl die, and the unholy incarnation will be complete.
He tried to sleep, but he couldn't do. The noises didn't let it.
I. The prophet - First warning (3 weeks before)
It was a shining day, at the end of January, the clouds swum slowly in the endless blue sea of the sky. The low wind blew trought the street. John Constantine entered his favorite shop. After Chas's die, he never got into taxi, and if its prize was the walking, then he did.
"Hi John" said the owner of the shop, the old "captain" Pablo "The regular?"
"As you say"
"By the way, John, a strange man asked me about you. I'm not a throwback, but I surprised, when he told me, he is a friend of you."
"Why?" asked John as he counted the little silvery coins to the counter.
"He was nude, but he was older than me also. Please, confirm me in, he never was, and never will be your friend!"
"Told you my name?" asked John. He started to fear, because he never was a friendly person, but now, from the nothing a nude, old man finding him.
"Yes. He told me "I know John Constantine often come here, so I should have some question about him." Then I asked his name, and he just smiled, and said, you will know, because he is your friend."
Suddenly John's stomach was clutched. He didn't want to believe his ears, and his eyes, but these sentences and the scene in this shop was play once, but where…
"John… I find you at last!" said a voice from behind John. John turned around quickly, and looked upon the stranger. He was such as Pablo said: old, and nude, but Pablo couldn't feel that power, what's vibrated around the stranger.
"Who are you" asked him quietly, but his hand found the shotgun under the coat.
"You knew, you know, and you always will know my name, John Constantine." Suddenly the man disappeared, and where did he stay, now a bright and mighty creature levitated. The creature's face was hided from John's eyes, however they did stand front of each other. His wings were enormous, just like his horn. He wasn't demon, but he wasn't angel too. He was an avatar, one incarnation of the neutral powers, the guards of the balance. The creature's eyes were eternal blue fires, what burn body and soul also, and now they looked upon the human. The voice of it, what was quiet and old in the human body, now was loud, and deep as the well of the Death. "Now, Mr. Constantine, are you disposed to recognize me?
John realized, the time was stopped, and Pablo stays frozen behind the counter. He looked back to the avatar.
"Yes, I recognize you; Charon" –said – "Why are you coming?"
"The Tide of Doom is near. The Evil Powers are ready to take what they want. You are one of them, who can do against it, so you have to fight."
"I don't have to do anything Charon. I'm a human so I've the choice of the free will." Said, because his pride didn't let he just said a simple "Yes".
The response was a deep, demonic laugh. John's felt the fear in his stomach. He knew, the power of the avatars is dangerous, and he is dead, if he doesn't look after himself.
"You have not choice Demon Hunter. If somebody walked in the Hell, or flew in the Heaven, nevermore be free absolutely. You returned once both of them aren't you? After the Gate of Death, by the Eternal Rules, all human lost the free will's right if after all comes back to this World. Are you remembering? The first night in the hospital, after your "return"… In your dream you heard the voice…
"Yes, I heard it…" - said John to himself. His voice was like the whisper of the wind, in the graveyard, in a cold night of the winter.
"So you must fight. Chas's and the other friends die weren't futile, because one of your strongest enemies, Mammon cannot attack because of his father, but the arrival of Leviathan cannot be undone. Soon, the Moon rising will bring him to this World."
"But the full moon…" started John, but the avatar stopped him.
"This isn't belonging to the Moon. "If the shooting star is near…" "Chant it" The prophecy of the Damned isn't it? Now, find the psychic, who wore once Mammon's spirit, and hide it in a deserted place. The key cannot be captured by the Evil!" whit these words the avatar gone, and the next moment Pablo went to John.
"Are you all right?"
But John didn't hear anything from his own think. The psychic….the key… it is so same… The recognizing came in the next moment suddenly, and brightly, like a thunderbolt in the darkness.
"Angela!"
At this moment in the deep of a mountain, in a strange field of a distant country, an evil sing flew up to the sky. The singer was hidden by the shadow, but his voice, like an unholy phoenix again and again flew closer the sky, and if it died in the next moment the voice was louder than before.
Seven main sin reign so far
Nobody knows why we are
Fallen from the sky
Every day, and every night
Nobody know why we fight
Fallen from the sky
If the shooting star is near
Ancient Lord who comes to here
Fallen from the sky
Our master coming now
Just we know that when and how
Fallen from the sky
Devil awakes, Angel falls
Crowded graveyards, empty halls
Fallen from the sky
White bones - they all cold as ice
Eternal darkness' paradise
Fallen from the sky
As the voice faded, the mountain did shake from its foundations to the peak, and in the sky a new point appeared, red, like the Mars, and it got closer, and closer. A small earthquake run trought the fields, and suddenly silent fell to the land, like a giant blanket, and the cool temperature turn into icy cold. The other stars' light was snuffed out, the moon hid behind a black cloud, and all of the animals and trees started shaking, when a horrible screaming broke the silent of the night.
