Chapter 1: Reacquainted
Darkness inside....
Secrets inside.....
Mysterious known.....
Fear forever.....
Pain forever....
Never forget....
Darkness echos through the once lighted room. Eyes search in panic for the light. Panic invades the once strong willed warrior who is now nothing more then a vulnerable child.
Dull, panic stricken eyes look down at the sillouette of their legs and reaches out then wraps their arms around them, holding them close as they press their back into a small corner.
"Go away. Go away please," says a small slightly accented female voice from inside into the cool blackness of the giant room.
A bed squeaks from nearby causing the child to jump and panic even more while her heart once calm now a stampead of elephants roaring through her heart and veins. Eyes tightly closed, her head hidden between her arms and legs while a stream of light comes inside from a small index card shaped window.
Immediately, she looks up and sees the light but instead of running towards it she shrinks herself even more away from it.
"Please...please go away. Don't you see, you can't help. All you do is hurt," she pleads as tears begin to run down her face with her fearful eyes staring at the door.
"YOU DON'T HELP! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT? I'M IN HERE BECAUSE YOU WON'T GO AWAY!" She yells in fear and anger staring at the door with her gaze piercing the darkness.
She was silently for a time after but suddenly yelling and odd breaking noises could be heard outside the door in the hall.
The orderlies can be heard yelling, "You are not allowed back here sir. Only Doctors, nurses and orderlies are permitted here sir. Sir! SIR!" A sudden slicing noise then a gurgle being followed by women screaming in fear.
She tensed listening to all the commotion as she felt something.....someone nearby. Someone she knew that could be trust.... others were with them. Her brow furrowed and slowly she began to slide up the corner continuing to feel this person. "Suze," she barely whispered in relief. She was drawn back by an immediate crashing of the door, light bursted in causing her to shield her face with her hands and arms.
"Hello Alexiel. How's daddy's Angel of Mercy?," said a scratchy baritone male voice from inside the doorway.
Meanwhile, Suzanne, Duncan and Adam walked out of the elevator, "I can't just quit on her or anything. I'm the only family she's got left. It's just sometimes, it's hard. She's such a wonderful person if you had known her. Thanks for com-m...ing..."
Their senses were suddenly invaded by an unknown immortal presence. They looked around the corridors then heard screaming comming from one of the corridors ahead of them. They saw all the attention drawn there as people raced to get there in the panic.
Suzanne looked at the others then at the people running to and from the commotion, her eyes widen with realization, "Alex's room is up there. I'm almost certain," she said with a slight english accent to Duncan and Adam. She immediately ran to the commotion squeezing past people with her the guys following closely behind her.
She stopped inside the corridor as she saw Alex fighting a man in black with a for large broadsword and several dead and bloody orderlies scattered around them as if a border.
His dark brown eyes went from Alexiel to Suzanne with an evil smile tugging at his pale pink lips. He straighten up and took a step back which caught Alexiel off guard and a confused look. She quickly glanced behind her and saw Suze.
"Why Kaelyr," the man in black began,"How are you these days? Not so good I hope," he smirked evily and chuckled.
Suzanne.....Kaylar gritted her teeth as she forced herself to spit out his wretched name, "Cidious."
Alexiel took the moment to attack him. She silently ran at Cidious kicking the sword from his hands which drew his full attention on her and ran straight into him though before that he had begun to run at her. They collided but were both thrown back. Both slid across the floor with Alexiel slidding towards Suzanne and Cidious sliding in the opposite direction down the hall.
Suzanne quickly went to her and knelt down to her side. "Alex? Alex? Are you okay? Alex?" She said loudly. She looked her over seeing nothing broken and only one bruise on her cheek. Alexiel's eyes fluttered open and looked up at her silently, "Suze." She smiled but pushed her away and quickly got to her feet. "Run, Suze. Get away," she called out, "GET AWAY!" She yelled as she walked towards Cidious ready to begin the next round.
"ALEX, NO!" Suze called out before she could react to Alexiel's sudden departure.
Cidious quickly got to his feet meeting with several security guards. In less than 30 seconds, they were all thrown to the ground and unconscious. He noticed Alexiel heading at him hearing her aunt calling out to her. He chuckled as he welcomed his the fight.
"Are you ready Archangel?" He asked with arms wide open and a cruel smile on his thin lips.
Alexiel stared at him with focused eyes and burning anger inside her cold blue eyes. Her long raven black hair swinging against her back. "Any time you are," she said coldly at him with her eyes matching her voice.
Cidious swung the blade at her and each time she was barely missed. Soon she was up against his chest and sucker punched him in the temple causing him to be stunned. Suze had been watching in horror the event trying to think of what to do to get Alex out of there but it was Alex who had stopped the fight. The moment Alexiel stepped away from Cidious's stunned form she ran at her and grabbed her wrist. Alex about to protest until Suze's panic filled eyes and went with her. They ran through the crowd with Duncan and Adam at their feet, down the fire exit and soon in to the parking lot. "COME ON!" Suze yelled out at them. Duncan took out his keeps, pressed the unlock button causing the car's lights to blink as Suze and Alexiel got to the car first. Within moments the car was screeching out of the parking lot with Suze constantly checking behind them and Alexiel's head against her chest like a mother would a child petting their head. "Shhh, it's ok. You're gonna be safe now. I promise," She said looking down at Alexiel with her arms wrapped around Suze's waist.
