||Prologue;||
Everything was black. Not one single ray of light in the sky that my pupils could focus on. I was literally traveling faster than lightning, the wind blowing my hair wildly. I was numb and couldn't move a muscle; I couldn't break away from the overwhelming power.
I couldn't scream.
I couldn't see.
I couldn't cry.
I just fell.
My eyes finally gave in, rolling to the back of my head and everything else drifted away like a puff of air as I still fell…
|| Fallen || Chapter 1; ||
I could faintly hear voices coming from all around me, it was very quiet whispers but I could catch the urgency in them. The cold air pinched my skin like mini electric shock, raising goose bumps against my skin. Something pressed hard against my chest repeatedly, forcing life into me. My body, and head especially ached, pain replacing the numbness. At that I knew I definitely wasn't dead.
That's when it all come back to me, and the pain pushed its way through me. I was falling, and falling. For hours, though it went on like there was no bottom.
The voices got even louder, and I suddenly felt scared. Were they back to continue their punishment? They had already stripped me down until I was left with nothing. No soul, no feeling. I was just left being a helpless corpse.
Though an enlightening tingle gave me a feeling, a feeling some people would refer as hope. I slowly opened my eyes. Although the sun was setting, threading orange and pink colours around the sky, there was still enough of light that winked at me, burning my eyes. I feebly stretched my hand out to block the bright glimmer, as I blinked the blurriness away and my eyes adjusted. I heard some sighs of relief and shock that I wasn't dead, something that I was also wondering. My head burned like each strand of my hair was lit, and the fire travelled its way to my head. I guess this is what hell is like, an endless routine of torture. In seconds, my eyes focused like a bat in the dark and the ghostly figures surrounding me were almost clear. Suddenly, I noticed a person that was close to me unlike the other people who kept their distance. He was right in my face, grinning.
A very annoying grin.
Couldn't he see that my pained expression was nothing to be happy about?
"She's alive!" He announced to no one in particular. He grinned with his hands still on my chest. I remember seeing this a million of times, people helplessly trying to save someone's life even though they know there's no use.
I studied him studying me, why wasn't he scared like everyone else? Then it dawned on me like a slap on the face. Something that was literally right in front of my face but I ignored.
I was on Earth! Of course, I wasn't dead. But how could I be? Why exactly was I tossed here, of all places?
I swiftly sat up and out of nowhere millions of peoples thoughts buzzed around my brain, suffocation my own thoughts. There where so many thoughts surrounding my, they boomed so loudly in my head it was just a screeching thrill.
I drew my knees to my chest and covered my ears, closing my eyes tightly as possible trying to block out the loud voices, sweeping them to the corner of my head. To my surprise it worked, I still could faintly hear them, but it was something I could handle.
I looked up and people were still staring with wide eyes, covering their ears. I was screaming. I quickly closed my mouth, and then opened it again. Circling my jaw, it felt different. To be honest I hardly had any feeling since I landed here, wherever 'here' was.
"Are you okay?" The guy that was smiling was now examining me differently. Not like everyone else was, with fear. He looked intrigued, as if an alien had just landed and he wanted to be the first to take me to his lab.
"Huh?" I cocked my head as I looked at him and thought deeply about his question. Am I okay?
A smirk formed on my face, as I laughed to myself at those words. I am more than okay, I'm over the moon! Another person in my position would see this as a punishment, but for me this is a dream come true. This is my time to start again, be and do whatever I wanted, with no restrictions, no limits. And by the look of these humans it wouldn't be hard manipulating them. I've found my new heaven. And this time, I have total control.
I quickly stood up, and heard another grumble of gasps. The thought came back a little bit stronger, putting my off guard. I slightly lost my balance and was quickly grabbed by the guy that was squatted over me. I shook their thought away, taking a deep breath of air. A bunch of different smells came to me, some more appealing than others. The strong humid and polluted air welcomed me with a warm hug, a lovely smell of candyfloss and hotdogs that were being made nearby, a beach? I took and unsteady step forward, then another. My ears were so sensitive I could hear hard and sharp objects pressing against my feet.
"What's going on" A stern voice came from within the crowd. He pushed his way through the crowd. "Jesus Christ…" That was the only thing the police officer seemed to be able to say. He looked at me, the boy next to me and the scenario we were in.
I followed his gaze down to where I stood, and where I had landed there was a humongous dent on the floor…
"Would someone like to tell what's going on?" He said, turning his radio on the left side of his belt down, and placing his hands on his hips. For seconds everything went quiet, everyone waiting to hear my explanation. I stared deep into his eyes, and his thoughts came through stronger. He thought that the guy next to me and I were playing with explosives. I laughed inside, not even people who enforce the law are creative, what a shame.
I slowly took another step forward, taking each step cautiously as a lion would after its prey.
"Nothing happened here" I said gently, making my voice soft like a relaxing song, immediately putting him and the gathering people into a trance. "Isn't that right?"
I watched as they all obediently nodded, I knew this wouldn't last long so I got to the point.
"You can go back to wherever you came from, because nothing happened" I promptly added, and released him and everyone else from their daze. I watched as everyone looked around at each other, not having a clue why they were standing there. I smiled at myself in satisfaction, as they disappeared back to their lives.
Out of nowhere there was a sound of slow, timed clap, taking me by surprise. My head snapped to the side, I was so focused on everyone else I forgot about him. Nevertheless, he should have been infected too.
"I'm impressed" He said, crossing his arms across his chest, with that stupid smile of his. I rolled my eyes, and for the first time looked at where I had landed. I was in an alleyway behind a small building. There were a lot of full bins, and litter on the floor. I unsteadily walk forward, examining every object that surrounded me. I never really had/saw the need to use my legs, but right now I am depending on them. I'm not really keen on crawling or dragging myself out of here. The bricks closed up on me as I walked through the ally.
"No seriously, I am" I heard him say, as he followed me close behind.
"Look, what you saw… It wasn't what it looked like" I tried to explain, as I gained more confident and walked a little faster.
"Then what did it look like?"
"What did you see?" I asked him curiously, looking back to eye him. Before I could hear his response, my leg gave in and I fell. I growled at myself with frustration.
"Whoa there Angel, let me help" He extended his hand out, and I snapped my head up.
"What did you call me?" I asked him with my eyebrows knitted together, and he slightly smiled at my expression. With a mix of satisfaction or as if his answer was answers.
"Well you know what they say about beautiful girls falling out of the sky" He said as if it was obvious. I viciously slapped his hand out of my face.
"Aren't you… supposed to be somewhere… instead of bothering people?" I said through gritted teeth, dragging myself up with some struggle.
He put his hands up at his sides, as if protecting himself from the accusing vein in my voice. "I'm just trying to help a damsel in distress"
"I am not in distress!" I snapped back, hurrying my pace but still being careful of how I placed my foot. I took a deep breath through my nose and closed my eyes while I exhaled. I turned around to face him, clinging on to any patience I had left.
"Thank you for your concern, seriously, thank you" I said as I turned left onto Path where there were stores on each side. I tried give the most natural and sincere smile. "But I…" I forgot what I was about to say when I caught a glance of myself at a glass-window shop that had shoes on display.
"Oh my God, what happened to my hair?" Not only did my hair look like a 60's perm with twigs and dirt. I turned into a dirty gingery-blonde colour. No, no, no! What happened to my beautiful golden blonde hair? Anger flashed across my face, what sort of punishment is this? I looked down at my dress through the glass, its white colour was now black and it was ripped all over. As the wind blew, my flesh was exposed.
"Now that definitely brings out your curves" I caught him staring me up and down, as he lent against the class. A part of me of me felt flattered, I'd never had anyone look at me that way. The other half I was irritated that I felt that way.
"Seriously, what do you want?" I looked at him, but properly this time. From his tanned face to his expensive looking shoes. His dark curly hair hung loose through his dark blue cap that shadowed his eyes. Although my eyes could clearly see his dark brown eyes with, so dark they were almost the same colour of his pupils. But what really made them stand out were the little green flakes in them. He wore a black Levi polo shirt that hugged his muscles snugly and dark blue Denim jeans that hung loosely around his waist.
"How about a drink at the R&R" He jabbed his thumb at the building that I landed behind of, it was a bar.
"Do you really think I can go into a bar looking like this?"
"Don't worry, they like that kind of stuff"
"Yeah, well if it's a prostitute you're looking for, you won't find one here" I started walking down a pavement where cars were closely parked by. There were hardly any people out now, as the sky got darker.
"Look, I'm simple trying to be nice" He said almost innocent. Almost.
"It'd be nice if you left me alone" I growled at him, walking into another alleyway. Suddenly there were slow, hauntingly steps behind me which stopped when they reached me. I quickly turned my head when he sensed the presence of another person next to me. I was about to tell that annoying guy to stop following me, but there was something that didn't seem right. When I cautiously looked up all I could see was a black shadow, which clouded my view. The shadows now surrounded me kept increasing. My legs lost their strength to keep me upright I feel to the ground, my body quivering violently as the shadow went through me. Once again everything became dark as I fell into a deep sleep…
